    1500
  14. So wait, a white kid (and active shooter) with an AR15 is NOT cause for alarm, but a black kid in a hoody walking is? (Trayvon Martin) This world is effing frustrating and infuriating.
    1500
  15. The ā€œMy fatherā€¦ā€ montage is just priceless.
    1400
  16. Joe needs to rewatch his podcast he did with Bill Burr last year "Joe, lets not start his, I'm not gonna sit here with no medical degree, listening to you with no medical degree, sittin here with the American flag behind you smoking cigars acting like we know better than the CDC."
    1400
  17. The idea that Canada should listen to a country literally on the edge of civil war about anything is patently ridiculous.
    1400

  19. Bro is sounding like a literal Facebook Boomer who only gets their news thru memes and aggregate news trolls
    1400

    1400
  21. I knew that Meghan was a spoiled, entitled brat, but attempting to dictate to a Jewish man how he should feel about his identity being used to justify war crimes is just on a whole other level šŸ‘€ like seriously, read the room sis šŸ˜¬
    1300
  22. Ok. Some people have lost the respect of the media. But, is that an excuse to attack a weather person? They're the most neutral people in news.
    1300
  23. He means exactly what he says; therefore he needs to be taken seriously. Shame on Republicans and the media for giving him a pass.

    1200
  26. They couldn't destroy The Dixie Chicks with their pathetic backlash, they won't destroy Garth Brooks.
    1200
  27. They can't even use the argument of "you don't know what it's like" when you have parents unarmed and with no body armor running into the building where the active shooter is to save their kids.
    1200
  28. As a Gen X person I have to commend the younger generations for not falling for the "work yourself to death" culture that we all fell for. "As long as you put your job before everything else, you'll be rich some day." BULL. And we fell for it. It's about time people had the balls to stand up and let the world know we are worth more than just working ourselves to death just to make the elite more wealthy and we struggle.
    1200
  29. You just know that if AOC or any other Congress person did show up at the barricades, Tucker would be crying about her/them getting attention. "Why aren't they back in Washington doing their job instead of this shameless publicity stunt?"
    1200
  30. Just want to point out the irony of how Tim Pool thinks it's cool to misgender people, then melts down for being referred to by the wrong political label.
    1200
  31. She went from supporting Bernie to giving Ronald Raegan economic talking points and going full culture warrior. As clear of a grifter as you'll find.
    1200
  32. That's one hell of an answer. Lady can talk.
    1100
  33. First time I've seen left-wing Unity on Twitter in a long time
    1100
  34. I love how Cori Bush just laughs in the hosts face.
    1100
  35. I am a woman and I endorse Bernie Sanders for president and I am not sexist against myself. šŸ”„ šŸ”„ šŸ”„
    1100
  36. I can't believe how Trump's own words never come back to hurt him. He is completely immune to being caught in a lie, or in exhibiting hypocrisy. There used to be a time when either one could end your political career.
    1100
  37. The fact that his father passed away a month ago and he dedicated the win to him and she tried to humiliate him for it is actually disgusting. Nobody knows what heā€™s going through right now losing his father at such a young age. Gaming could be his coping mechanism as it is with a lot of people. The fact that we canā€™t let kids be kids is ridiculous.
    1100
  38. He has that premium healthcare funded by taxpayers, meanwhile he constantly tries to deny essential care to his own state.
    1100
  39. Rogan has gone on the record in saying his podcast with Cornel West was the best heā€™s ever done- you can thank Brother Cornel and Brother Kyle in getting Bernie in the podcast and helping Rogan truly see Bernie properly. These establishment Dems are only in politics because itā€™s like a popularity contest, like in high school. It pisses them off that Bernie is beating them at their own game - but with serious policy chops as well.
    1000
  40. "When I say something stupid, I'm not thinking about what I'm saying before I say it, I'm just saying it." -Joe Rogan "The problem with the world is that the intelligent people are full of doubts, while the stupid ones are full of confidence." -Charles Bukowski
    1000
  41. Dude, ill be honest. 2 years or so years ago I was one of those dumbasses who thought their were two sides to this argument. However,in the last couple of years beginning around the pandemic I started watching more progressive channels like David here and the Majority Report, and I've really come to realize what this conflict actually is. Thank you David for opening my eyes to the harsh reality of this conflict. Also I like his shirt today.
    1000
  42. I'm 44 year old woman and I would love to see a woman President in my lifetime, but I will always vote for who I think is the BEST CANDIDATE, and this time, that is BERNIE SANDERS!
    1000
  43. Bill Burr is one of the few comedians whoā€™s politics have been getting better with age.

    1000

    1000
  47. Music has a huge history of being used as a form of anti war and anti violence protest. It is so important that artists continue this tradition
    996
  48. Trudeau is the Canadian Obama. They both campaigned as progressives but as soon as they got in they turned into conservative establishment centrists who cater to the status quo and big oil.
    986
  49. Remember when Tim Walz joked about ā€œwhite guy tacosā€ and the right lost their minds?

    952
  54. Jim Cramer complains about class warfare and in the next sentence goes on to suggest class warfare ( shipping jobs to Mexico ). Absolute ghoul.
    940
  55. Texans must be so proud to be on pace with the Taliban regarding their religious fervosity...
    937
  56. Sinema is experiencing consequences to her actions. Her life wasnā€™t threatened by anyone. I understand the protestors.
    929
  57. Clearly heā€™s always felt immune in his corruption. If you are shocked by his brazen genocidal and torture declarations, imagine the things heā€™s been committing off camera. How is he not being fully investigated?
    916
  58. Biden isn't even Hillary 2.0. He's more like Hillary 0.9.
    906
  59. Who are the real snowflakes when being called racist is more offensive than actual systemic racism?
    896
  60. As a Canadian Trudeau is not communist he's not even really a left winger
    877
  61. Woke Twitter = Centrist establishment supporters
    871
  62. I'm impressed with Gabbard. Seriously, I would have never thought she'd ever be able to memorize so many fascist talking points.
    855
  63. I work in Social Services. I had an interview with a client who lost her job at Walmart because her 2.5 yo daughter was sick. She said the system automatically terminates people based on a points system. She was told to reapply in 6 months. Now, this single mother is receiving public assistance because she was terminated because her infant child needed her care when she was ill. But, we are about the babies... šŸ™ƒ
    855
  64. As Canadians, we have NEVER asked the U.S. for military help, however, the U.S. EXPECTS Canadian troops to join them in every war they are conflicted with in other countries.
    852
  65. Imagine Bernie's polling if he actually got fair media coverage. It wouldn't be a close race.
    845
  66. "Is there anyone progressive enough for you?" Is it just me, or is that a very condescending tone from the interviewer?
    833
  67. Imagine calling your opponents "radical" after you orchestrated a violent coup on your own government for refusing to coronate you.
    832
  68. Only David can make a calm explanation of Twitter drama.
    830
  69. It is shameful that only Sanders and Castro attended this event. No surprise, Sanders is on the side of the people - not the powerful.
    827
  70. Congrats on 500k subscribers! Greedy corporations losing billions is the way to celebrate
    821
  71. I love Dr. West. We all learn when he speaks. He needs a podcast.

    810
  76. "that's crap that's wrong" Bernie Sanders
    803
  77. ā€œThey think that their lives are more valuable because theyā€™re white.ā€ This is basically the core of conservative domestic and foreign policy.
    800
  78. It's amazing that conservatives can always come up with excuses why people won't work, but they never think to themselves that they should pay people more money to do the job. Call the bosses lazy, tell them to do the job themselves if they can't find anyone to work. Tell the businesses to pull themselves up by their bootstraps. Yell at the businessmen, call them stupid freeloaders.
    798
  79. I hope to god AOC and the Justice Dems never fall in line. Theyā€™ve done more for their own party than the majority of the Democratic swamp ever has
    795
  80. America owes the global community a Bernie Sanders presidency
    794
  81. I'm Danish, we don't have people like Donny Deutsch or Donald Trump in Denmark. I win bye bye.
    788
  82. Walz signed a law raising the salary of MN government officials, but did not accept a pay raise for himself. Thatā€™s integrity.
    788
  83. I'm a Latino and disabled Bernie Supporter. The support is divided by 20 candidates. Latinos overwhelmingly support Bernie. I guess we are the "residue" who will prove Nate wrong. #Bernie2020
    785
  84. AS SOON AS I SAW THE TITLE MY DAY BECAME SO MUCH BETTER AND MY MOUTH DROPPED!!
    784
  85. Anthony is great at bringing political/social issues to his massive "apolitical" audience. I was one of those apoliticals once upon a time
    779
  86. Game developers need to unionize so bad. It's an industry of rich millionaires taking gross advantage of hard-working dreamers.
    778
  87. "The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort & convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge & controversy" ~ MLK
    777
  88. This is the white moderate that MLK spoke about. The ones more concerned with peace than justice.
    776
  89. We are seniors and we are supporting Bernie Sanders.
    775
  90. I was working on the night of the last debate and after a slow shift I decided to buy myself a bottle of wine so I could go home, drink wine, and relax. The guy working there was watching the debate on his phone at the time and it struck a conversation between the two of us, which mainly consisted of two complete strangers venting about Trump. At some point, I mentioned my belief that Trump may be a sociopath and the guy stopped me and said: "I have a degree in psychology. That man is definitely a sociopath."
    767
  91. DeSantis is certainly making a great case for why he should never be allowed near the White House
    763
  92. I don't understand why we have to keep acting like the Republican party has ideas that deserve to be debated. They don't.
    755
  93. Why arenā€™t we calling this the ā€œTrump Virusā€? Letā€™s take the gloves off.
    752
  94. Rev. William Barber: ā€œJesus healed lepers and never charged a copay.ā€
    737
  95. A friend of mine on Facebook posted about 50,000 trucks being on the road to Ottawa, so I pointed out that a tractor-trailer is about 80-feet long on average. That would make a convoy of 50,000 trucks at least 1200 kilometers long, if they were nose-to-tail. It would take about 12-15 hours to pass you if you stayed outside to watch the whole thing. The B.S. is simply astounding.
    736
  96. The most high profile trans influencers should immediately start doing unsolicited promos for WWE, Nascar, and the NRA. Sure fire way to get conservatives to change their tune.
    729
  97. Jordan Peterson is politically illiterate. His whole routine revolves around combining Jungian psychology with Nietzsche's philosophy and coming up with a vision that vaguely resembles Social Darwinism and biological determinism. He should stick to psychology. He doesn't know anything about Marxism. Žižek is always fun, though.
    728
  98. Why would anyone hate Bernie Sanders he's the most lovable politician we've ever had
    727
  99. This man has no concern for the billions of tears shed by those who are in poverty because he is not willing to participate in society in a meaningful way. He cares about his money, and nothing else.
    707
  100. A democrat like Ojeda might actually convince Trumpers that their real enemy aren't other poor people who look different than them.
    705
  101. Wow, a comedian who isnā€™t a reactionary portraying himself as the victim. Refreshing
    702
  102. My favourite bit was when Zizek asked him to name one post modern neo Marxist and of course Peterson couldn't name one.
    700
  103. I stopped taking Yang seriously way back when he admitted that his version of the UBI was meant to undercut the social safety net.
    695
  104. Meanwhile at CPAC republicans invite a dictator to give a speech šŸ§
    693
  105. Iā€™m a rail worker in the U.K! Thank you so much for covering this - I was on a picket line on Tuesday. Our industry is being bled dry after we were hailed as heroes for keeping goods and essential workers moving throughout the pandemic. Real terms pay cuts, erosion of terms and conditions, ā€œefficienciesā€ (ie: job cuts), morale at rock bottom. People think we earn a lot because the media has been using train driversā€™ salaries as an example when I donā€™t even get half the figure being quoted everywhere and a lot of the ops guys are on even less than me. Weā€™re barely scraping by after energy bills tripled. They want to run the railway on fewer staff which isnā€™t safe and weā€™re being smeared by the government and the press. Thank you thank you for showing our struggle! šŸ™
    684
  106. Police should have gone into the capital and arrested lawmakers for insider trading.
    680
  107. What is done in the dark will come to the light. Nothing is hidden. Sooner or later it will be revealed.
    680
  108. Dr. West is a master artist of the human language.
    674
  109. Ask Shontel Brown why she doesn't support Medicare for All when her district does. Ask Shontel Brown why she doesn't support Tuition for All when her district does. Ask Shontel Brown why she doesn't support the Green New Deal when her district does.
    670
  110. I have watched your show for a long time but after learning about your videos being demonetized for no good reason I had to become a Patreon. It's time for me to support the media sources that I appreciate.
    662
  111. Remember when Bernie went onto fox news, complete partisan hacks, and owned them? And yet, Shapiro goes on to a show with a right leaning journalist, who asks legitimate questions, and needs a safe space.
    659
  112. "If AOC wasn't young and vibrent, would anyone listen to her?" Bernie Sanders has entered the chat
    656
  113. the fact that he immediately associated Palestinians and Hamas shows you how brainwashed these people are. Truly psychotic behavior.
    652
  114. He talks about means testing, while he gets free healthcare, dental care, etc through our taxes. Even though he is overpaid and underworked in the senate.
    647
  115. I think he's starting to realize that doing the right thing is popular with the people
    646
  116. My son does not watch or follow the candidates. But he had alot of crap to say about Bernie. He watches Joe Rogan, hence he saw the Bernie interview. We can now have a civil conversation about Bernie. Thank you, Joe, for small favors.
    646
  117. So glad I found this channel. Please keep up the amazing work brother.
    645
  118. "never charged a lepper a copay" goddamn that line is powerful.
    642
  119. I'm in Canada. Last year, we found out my mother had late-stage lung cancer. She had radiation treatment to prolong her life, oxygen machine at home, wheelchair, nurse visits twice a week, and end-of-life procedure after seven months. It cost us ZERO dollars! Sure, our healthcare system could improve, but Americans trashing our system do so because they have no idea what they're talking about. I recently had an ultrasound done, again, zero cost, and I had to wait two days to see a doctor and two weeks for an ultrasound appointment. At least it was all free (paid by my taxes, I mean)
    638
  120. I threw a $100 money bomb at Bernie once I heard Biden was running...Biden needs to go
    635
  121. It's easy to slaughter people when you convince yourself the others aren't human beings
    631
  122. Green party is a more effective protest vote than leaving it blank. It will show mainstream dems that the left actually exists unlike moderate voters.
    617
  123. For anyone to say "the left has gone sooooo far to the left" is absolutely insane, especially as compared to the right-wing... in particular, the two political parties. The left's problem, especially the Democrats, is they're not far enough to the left!
    614
  124. As someone whoā€™s 18, loves Bernie and doesnā€™t like Biden at all, I still reluctantly voted for him early in Minnesota. I want him to crush Trump.
    613
  125. Poilievre offers nothing but complaints. No policy just an endless stream of hate. He is taking a page from the Republican Party.
    612
  126. There is no greater irony that has ever existed in this world than a whiny, short tempered, sad little man who has a meltdown anytime he hears something he doesn't agree with 100% having the tagline "Facts don't care about your feelings" for his whole business enterprise and persona. Facts don't care about YOUR feelings, Ben.
    610
  127. My mom is very identity focused w/ her exasperation w/ old white men but my mom loves AOC & the squad & I was telling her to listen to Miss Nina Turner speak cuz itā€™s so powerful. SHE actually showed some first signs of maybe coming over to my side w/ these powerful women by his side saying how Bernie inspired and encouraged them offering support along the journey. SHE actually informed ME about em having to change venue to accommodate a much larger crowd than anticipated. Ima keep tryin yā€™all lol
    607
  128. Keep in mind. This is whatā€™s happening when they know a high profile US representative is touring their facility. This is their best face.
    603
  129. The women on The View: ā€œIf youā€™re experiencing chest pain, see a doctor.ā€ LOL Many simply canā€™t afford to!
    599
  130. Why are they busting out the "if that was YOUR kid" argument now? Why aren't they applying it to arguments for healthcare, pandemic response, endless wars, etc.?
    594
  131. If you take offense to ā€œrich people should pay their fair shareā€ you probably arenā€™t a good person
    593
  132. Single payer. End for-profit wars. Ban private prisons/end mass incarceration. Demilitarize police force. Legalize marijuana. Drug addiction treated as a healthcare issue. Invest in sustainable energy. Affordable housing. Federal Jobs Guarantee. Break up the big banks and enforce anti-trust laws. That's the platform I will support.
    592
  133. I have to say, of all the political commentators that I watch on YouTube, you're the best. It's all too easy to give a pass to BS that supports your own views and mischaracterize opposing views, but you do a great job of avoiding those pitfalls and zeroing in on the truth of the matter. The fact that you're Canadian and cover Canadian issues as well is mere icing on the cake. Keep up the good work.
    592
  134. The fact that she won with white voters too, alone, should be enough to shut up the critics who keep saying she won because of identity politics.
    588
  135. Clinton Campaign: "I'm with her!" Sanders Campaign: "Not me. Us." These simple phrases alone perfectly encapsulate the drastic differences between Hillary and Bernie.
    586
  136. As someone in Kentucky, I can confirm that a lot of people here (even self-described conservative Democrats) absolutely love Bernie. Eastern Kentucky also has a rich history of unionization. Fun fact: Most of Eastern Kentucky actually voted against Ronald Reagan both times.
    584
  137. One of my favorite aspects of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's victory (other than taking out a top-ranking corporate Democrat) is the collective aneurysm the far-right has been having over her victory. Since she calls herself a democratic socialist, their only argument is, "Buh-buh-buh-but...VeNeZuELa aNd thE SoVIeT UnIoN!"
    583
  138. Not only does the system do nothing... It punishes people for doing something
    574
  139. If only they'd get this angry over our healthcare system.
    568
  140. When money buys elections you're not living in a democracy but an oligarchy.
    561
  141. "My parents were immigrants," So I want to be part of a party that hates my parents.
    561
  142. Well, I don't know who Jan Kartman is, but I hope she and her underdeveloped brain gets the help they so desperately need Edited from die in a fire because Im progressive and shouldnt wish harm on others. New sub, love your show
    553
  143. She needs to run for a federal position (or governor of Kentucky).
    552
  144. It must be terrible to live in a reality where something completely harmless can trigger you to no end.
    547
  145. It's not just insider knowledge that gives Congress an advantage, it's their ability to enact legislation to protect their investments. This conflict of interest is arguably more corrupt than taking advantage of insider knowledge.
    543
  146. Love how he casually slipped in that slavery was abolished 200 years ago.....Slavery ended in 1865....that's 153 years. And its not as though when slavery ended things were all roses and sunshine!
    543
  147. I'm 60 years old..had been a straight ticket voting Republican my entire life until Bernie Sanders. I introduced my nieces to his platform and we've never looked back. Bernie needs to run for President. Eliz warren is eh, But Bernie is the man! Fyi, I had obviously become disenchanted with the fakers in the Republican Party (the Dems were no better) which led to my mind and heart being open to Bernie.
    542
  148. "A completely removed person, in terms of regular society" - unlike good old Joe Rogan, the hundred-millionaire everyman. lol
    542
  149. Imagine arresting people saying ā€œdonā€™t poison the landā€ and thinking youā€™re on the right side of history.
    541
  150. Am from the UK and have so much to be grateful to the NHS for. The US system sounds utterly barbaric.
    535
  151. It died of starvation.
    533
  152. As someone in Va I can verify that local businesses are collapsing, homelessness has exploded and the cost of living is outrageous. In addition bigotry is rampant.
    529
  153. Iā€™ve lived in both nations as an adultā€¦ no doubt that Canada is a more free nation than the USA. The freedom of NOT losing your healthcare when you lose your job.
    529
  154. Seth Meyers was the first television personality to actually defend Ilhan Omar and say that her remarks were taken out of context. That speaks volumes about him.
    529
  155. I voted for her, and I'll do it again, because of this right here
    528
  156. Watching them act like they actually care about values and morals while worshipping Trump is genuinely hilarious.
    524
  157. Warren couldn't even win her own state during the primary and got 3rd place. Nobody cares about Warren anymore!
    523
  158. I live in a conservative area. When I talk to people about trans issues here, I tell people nobody has ever given me a good reason to hate or be scared of trans people. Why am I supposed to hate them? It's always weirdos who are very individualistic who try to convince me to hate. You know, people who are "non-binary" in a larger sense, people who don't fit in to any societal archetype. It's all about fear and ignorance.
    520
  159. What I hate is AI youtube channels. I just want a mandatory labeling of AI. They use endless verbiage and stretch out the videos as long as possible. And use endless stock footage you get sick of. I block every AI channel I come across.

  160. My son has been in the carpenters union for 27 years. He's a foreman , with a 6 figure income and fantastic health care. His wife is a nurse practioner specialized in cardiology. She also make a 6 figure income but is not union. Her and their 2 daughters are on his ins because hers is too expensive. It makes no sense that a healthcare professional has to pay so much for medical ins that she's on her husband's instead. His also has dental and vision and it pays for hearing aids. The Republicans in this country have been against unions since they began. Reagan was a huge part of union busting along with the trickle down economics scam.

  161. They always ā€œgotta runā€ when theyā€™re being DESTROYED šŸ˜‚
    512
  162. Why does everyone have amnesia when it comes to Trump? He was notorious for stage props like marines, Air Force One, ect.
    510
  163. Cornel was dropping red pill after red pill during his time there
    508
  164. Iā€™m a volunteer for Bernie Sanders, Iā€™ve never been told to do this.
    505
  165. Iā€™m a woman and I support Bernie over Warren. The media is shaping a bias narrative. Iā€™m sexist now? Thatā€™s an attack on the public.
    503
  166. I have a new found respect for Max Kellerman..
    503
  167. Agreed Biden should have started moving the refugees out earlier. But TRUMP should have started the DAY AFTER he signed the treaty. AND Congress should have been after both of them to do it.
    502
  168. Bernie claims to care about addressing climate change yet he breathes out carbon dioxide.
    500
  169. This is like being straight and then crying about being called straight
    495
  170. Haven't seen much coverage of the fact that the judge wouldn't let the prosecution zoom in on the drone footage of Rittenhouse raising his rifle at the crowd before the first victim charged him, because the judge didn't understand how digital zooming works. Which gave Rittenhouse the room to claim he just moved his arms like he was aiming but never did? Pretty crucial momentā€“ā€“it was literally the catalyst for the confrontation that led the first shooting, which is what led to everything else.
    494
  171. Listen to how she relays the message to the 911 operator. The fake desperation, the fake panting, and crocodile tears. I've always wonder what these calls sounded like. Now I now.
    493
  172. Thatā€™s the major issue in US. Ignorance of what happens outside US. Even Cuba has a better health care system than US.....
    490
  173. Sometimes the trash takes itself out.
    490
  174. "The vaccine has come to represent a political ideal" Conservatives made it a political ideal when they decided to politicize vaccines, mask-wearing and science.
    490
  175. It's hilarious how many Rogan segments start with him vaguely remembering something that made him upset
    474
  176. Reminder that when the vendor himself called the cops. NYPD said "There's nothing we can do it's free speech". it took massive public outcry for this monster to face ANY consequences.
    474
  177. I'm so proud of my city. IDK why Amazon thought they could come into a union state (NY is the #1 union state in America) and expect us to suddenly change the way we do things solely to accommodate them. If your business is all about union busting and exploiting your workers. Then you have no place here in NY.
    473
  178. It's amazing that these people are more concerned about manners and etiquette than they are about the issues being debated These people use the excuse of civility to keep minorities in our place..

  179. ā€œAll your little fake tattoos, itā€™s a costume!ā€ From the guy that wore an unironic bow tie for years.

  182. Itā€™s hard to top ā€œI keep hot sauce in my purse,ā€ but here we go
    468
  183. You left out the most important part: Vienna has been run by the socialist party since after WW1 (except for 12 years of facism 1934-1945). Which is why it is called "RED VIENNA". Social Housing has been at the core of SPƖ (Social democratic party) policy forever, which is why we never privatized anything owned by the city. The city builds around 3.500 appartments every year, all of it conforms to the highest standards. Likewise, old buildings are renovated and made energy efficient, without raising the rent for the tenants. the city also provides everything from Kindergarten to university for FREE and so much more. If you would like additional information, feel free to contact me. I'm a party member and I would like to see our best practice model spread to the US!
    467
  184. ā€œAs someone who grew up in Arkansas, Iā€™m not used to winning.ā€ Pay attention to that statement next time anybody gives a ā€œyou get what you vote forā€ when red state legislators pass something damaging. We live in all states and policies passed affect everyone.
    465
  185. Can't show graphs to conservatives, ya gotta use pictures like memes to get through to them. Think like a child's book, use big pictures and small words.
    463
  186. "We only have empty pockets when it comes to the morally right things to do". That's sums it all up right there.
    462
  187. Seriously WTF? So what i just heard is once a sinner always a sinner, with no forgiveness at all. If your not perfect from birth, without any flaws or mistakes you can't be a leader. This kind of PC identity politics and purity tests makes me sick. These 2 guys who are going around spouting off lies as the new "leaders of JD" need to go away or JD isnt gonna survive. Cenk and Kyle were the ones who created JD and gave them access to a HUGE audience. And just like that, they toss them under the bus, as if they had nothing to do with JD. Cenk and Kyle are nicer guys than me, id have went ballistic on their asses.

  189. I'm a vaxed trucker who's about to go work a 30 hour shift plowing snow outside of Boston. All the truckers I know are vaxed and none of them are in support of this convoy. I know there are unvaxed truckers out there, but they are a small group certainly.
    445
  190. Educate yourself people. Socialism is not by definition disassociated from freedom. State control, command economy, and totalitarianism is not Socialism. Unfortunately tyrants tainted what is meant by Socialism. Look at the work of the critics of capitalism and intellectuals that founded Socialism. It's about empowering the worker, giving freedom to the laborer to labor as they please, to own their labor etc... George Orwell an acclaimed critic of Totalitarianism and State control was a true Democratic-Socialist. Einstein was a Socialist. Dr. King the civil right's leader was an advocate of socialist economic thought. The guy who wrote the American Pledge of Allegiance was a Christian-Socialist. Inform yourself and you'll find the truth the wealthy elitists and Capitalism hides, Socialism was and is the next step in freedom in a post-Capitalist society. By the way Supply side economics is the most economically inept model it's laughable they can continue this charade.
    443
  191. I love how we need to tip toe around the rights feelings while theyā€™re running around being complete assholes.
    439
  192. So are rich liberals going to be highly taxed or is this a elitist issue. You canā€™t have it both ways Republican politicians canā€™t make an actual argument.
    439
  193. Max Kellerman's comments displayed a comprehensive, reasoned passion that I found to be very impressive. There was not a hint of self serving motive in his speech. In fact quite the opposite.
    438
  194. So we can afford to go to war with countries that had nothing to do with 9/11 but we can't afford Healthcare. Yeah our priorities are jacked.
    435
  195. I'm Portuguese, from the AƧores, and I thrive off of the look of shock people in Canada give me when I tell them that a Portugual elected a socalist/green/communist party coalition government in 2016 and then re-elected them in a landslide in 2020.
    435
  196. Carolla criticizing anyone for "idiotic opinions" is peak irony. Also, remember when AOC said they just hate her cause they cant date her? I'll thank Carolla for the confirmation.
    431
  197. Bernie 2020 is alive and well to me. CNN on the other hand has been dead to me for a very long time.
    431
  198. I love when people get so rich they donā€™t even recognize how bizarre it sounds to most people when they hear someone say they have a ā€œseparate part of the houseā€ to quarantine in away from their family members.
    429
  199. He could have just as easily walked up and grabbed the mic and said "Not cool, man." And I would have respected him so much more.
    429
  200. There are legit critiques of Tulsi but calling her a Russian asset is not one of them.
    425
  201. That entire panel is the cutting example of the liberal/conservative dynamic: the three left wingers worked their way to that chair, and the two right wingers Daddy'ed their way there.
    424
  202. This is a highly fundamental video. Your comments hit the nail on the head. Max Kellerman assessment is spot on. Thank you for sharing.
    422
  203. People really want to make it seem like Chappelle is actually being canceled. Freedom of speech cuts both ways. He's taking a little bit of light criticism, big deal. He's a pro and he can handle it, but people are acting like Netflix voided his contract, or is being slapped with lawsuits. So, fans rush to his defense as if he needs your help. Get over it, comedians get criticized all the time. This isn't the 1960s where Lenny Bruce was literally banned from performing at many venues. I'd ask who's the sensitive one, the people criticizing, or the ones who blindly criticize the critics?
    420
  204. "Stop talking like you're a general." That is the best analysis of armchair news junkies.
    420
  205. I'll keep it real, I like this Cuomo better šŸ˜‚
    419
  206. Over 1,000 seats were lost under Obama's leadership, and helped lead to the Trump presidency. Obama may be charismatic, but taking his "advice" is a very bad idea. He's center-right ... the majority of Americans have had enough of that.
    418
  207. The big takeaway from this is that the Dems fired this guy immediately... ...Republicans would have run him for office and then put him in charge of committees, all on his way to the White House
    411
  208. As a kid I spent a lot of time in and out of hospital, sometimes being there months at a time, but because I'm in the UK my parents never had to worry and my mother could even afford to get a part-time job because over here the only worry we have about getting sick is getting better.
    409
  209. This was an amazing video. Thanks for putting this together!
    408
  210. That statement sounded as stupid as the "U.S isn't racist".
    408
  211. Notice how they only focus on the Jewish refugees in their response smh...and totally ignore Rwandans and Syrians.
    405
  212. Justice Democrats made a mistake calling for resignations. People change and grow. This should be exactly what we hope for. Are they saying if we evolve then we shouldnā€™t lead.
    404
  213. Harmless Midwestern self-deprecating humor = new right-wing culture outrage. I'm tired.
    404
  214. Are you her press person? The moment she realized that she was losing the debate lmaao.
    401
  215. I was watching this video thinking how well spoken and reasonable he is for being an American. Then he says he is from Canada... and I was like "Okay that makes sense now." I'm saying this as an American. Most Americans just refuse to look at all the examples outside our country for things like universal healthcare and gun control. It is like they can't see (or don't care to see) all the models out there showing a better way than the American system. It is exhausting living in this country...it really is.
    400
  216. Itā€™s awesome that some mainstream news outlets like Morning Joe, Colbert, and The View are giving her positive press and a chance to speak! And even though sheā€™s getting a lot of negative press from the establishment too, negative press is always better for us than no press at all!! #WeMadeIt #Ocasio2018
    398
  217. The title should be David destroys Ben Shapiro with facts and not feelings
    397
  218. i'm embarrassed for anyone who listens to Shapiro and takes him seriously
    397
  219. If the scenario was reversed, they would claim she was being divisive and egotistical
    397
  220. As an American living abroad, I ask every American I meet if they would move back. 100% say NO. It's time America caught up with more civilized countries. And, yes, I voted for Bernie.
    394
  221. As a 71-year old who does not fear death, but does fear Alzheimer's...THANK YOU David!
    391
  222. Speaking as a Brit who has had to use the NHS for a long term health condition Trump knows nothing or cares less about learning about our NHS. He needs to take his big butt out and learn about his own country's issues with their healthcare or the lack of. ....oh hang on what am I saying ...
    390
  223. The best way to describe Shapiro and why he missed the point entirely is that heā€™s essentially a more cringe worthy real life Sheldon Cooper from The Big Bang Theory. Heā€™s well educated yes, but he is socially tone deaf and incapable of empathy and understanding much less agreeing with valid points from other peopleā€™s views.
    389
  224. Yo I would literally die from happiness if she did
    386
  225. David - Shows like The Rational National are helping change the landscape of media. Ya'll are getting the views and mainstream media wants a piece. Ultimately this is good, as progressive points of views are spreading. Keep going!
    386
  226. Proudly voted for Bernie in the Netherlands.
    380
  227. He even apologized for having morals. How bad does the media have to be that guests feel they need to apologize for a moral stance.
    380
  228. Iā€™m with Chris on this. You donā€™t walk up to an Italian from Queens band expect not to get checked. While the n-word comparison was bs, Fredro is a derogatory term.
    378
  229. Also worth noting Labour in Wales exceeded expectation... Where they have a left-wing, Corbyn-supporting leader...
    377
  230. I used to like Ben Shapiro until he became a snowflake himself. Black panther is a movie that sets the setting in the motherland Africa showing an almost all black cast that puts African's in a positive light rather than negative which is a extremely rare thing and that is why black people are excited. Its not hard to understand that but I guess it is for some people that didnt have to learn in school that their entire race was enslaved, tortured, and oppressed for hundreds of years.
    377
  231. I love Politico's framing: "Fetterman wasn't the politician you'd thought he'd be" - no, Fetterman is a LIAR. He LIED to us. But no, go ahead, it's our fault, we were dumb
    376
  232. It's amazing you aired this today as I pulled my support from PBS just two days ago after supporting them for about 5 years and gave them the following comment: "I've noted bias against Sen. Bernie Sanders since the 2016 Presidential primary, namely the "Bernie Blackout" where you just don't even mention his name, not once, even though it is he that is surging in the early primary states and may be number two according to many respectable polls. Up to now I've not acted upon this because of most of the other quality news of PBS News Hour and other quality shows, but now it has become so egregious and obvious that I can no longer look the other way. The Politics Monday segment tonight (12-2-2019) was too over-the-top in this regard. It's obvious you are no better than the other corporate news outlets like CNN, MSNBC, and even Fox News. I assume this is due to your sources of "major funding", corporations that no doubt disapprove of what Sanders stands for and his platform plans."
    372
  233. I think we need more large protests against this conservative government
    371
  234. So if your a against socialism then dont use the police force or rubbish collection even your sewage or water systems.
    368
  235. He will defend property more vehemently than he will defend the lives of young black men. Its honestly disgusting.
    367
  236. Jayapal has consistently shown a side about her that's willing to actually criticise both wings of the government publically. This woman is one of the real American progressives where some of them are questionable in their idealism.
    367
  237. I grew up in a household that listened to Rush Limbaugh, but I ended up supporting Bernie Sanders. How we're raised when we're young isn't always who we end up becoming into our adulthood. It takes time to grow into who we will become and not necessarily who we were raised to be.
    367
  238. 25% of Hillary Clinton supporters in 2008 voted for John McCain.
    367
  239. Sucks when journo have to be fact checked more often than politicians.
    365
  240. Crazy how it's considered controversial in America to call out Israel for human rights abuses...including the killing of protesters and medics.
    364
  241. Gotta give it to Mike for raising the fact that MSNBC is no longer unionized in their own house.
    363
  242. If Ben Shapiro had been around during Ali's CO claim concerning being drafted to fight in Viet Nam, he would have surely been against it. So he should have been intellectually honest and not used Ali as an example in his statement. This is as inauthentic as when Republicans honor MLK every year on his Birthday. But then, when is Ben ever intellectually honest?
    362
  243. I'm in Canada. Years back my dad had a heart attack. He got rushed to the hospital, had a quadruple bypass, had to stay in the hospital for a couple of months to recover, full suite of meds, rehab, etc... The only thing we had to pay was parking when we drove to the hospital to visit (and a monthly pass was $20).
    362
  244. It is a little strange to watch this from Europe. Maybe it is because we learn about socialism and capitalism at a young age. We never discuss if we should have one OR the other, but rather where the balance point between them should be..... to us, it is socialism that makes capitalism work.
    358
  245. Shawn Fain is the voice of labor, couldn't have asked for a better leader
    358
  246. A "bad feeling" = Elon Musk screwing up Tesla's overvalued stocks after the Twitter debacle
    357
  247. ā€˜Pandering to the baseā€™ = following through with the policies that your electorate voted you in on.
    355
  248. Also thank you for mentioning "there is no ethical consumption under Capitalism", this cannot be stated enough times!
    355
  249. As someone who used to model and used to be a photographer, it bothers me that people do not comprehend that you donā€™t keep the fancy outfits you wear in photo shoots. Those cloths arenā€™t hers, they are just for the picture. You give them back when the shoot is done. And no matter how many times people are informed of this they refuse to retain that information. So damn frustrating
    354
  250. Going to get that new Meek just because of this interview.
    354
  251. Oh it gets even worse! The email specified that they had to opt out of the list by 4pm on the day it was sent. This story should be headline news.
    353
  252. As one of the thousands of pilots who took an early retirement/buyout from a major airline in 2020, I feel this video is on point. I can go on a diatribe that would be counterproductive but I'll say this. The pilot shortage for the 2020's was identified at least a decade ago. The corporate culture of many major airlines was, and is, to pay overtime for the pilots willing to do so (a vast MINORITY) at the cost of not staffing an airline properly. The airline unions are constantly trying to balance this equation of the few "whores" vs. the majority who are much more concerned about a good quality of life. Then, to save your ass, tell the public every additional cost item from excess baggage to fuel increases are "out of their control" and add those incremental costs to the price of a ticket. This is indicative of the current corporate culture for labor in the entire US....pay part time workers, with no benefits, overtime, but don't staff the business adequately for good customer service and certainly not ensure employees quality of life. THEN....as with Moderna's CEO as so brilliantly recently exposed by Sen Bernie Sanders, have the company board approve a 900+ MILLION (or choose your corporation and amount!) dollar golden parachute because he/she did such a great job. Time for this country to rethink the essential benefits of union representation, corporate responsibility and true government oversight that targets gross avericiousness.
    352
  253. Just out: Buttigieg releases his race relations plan: Civil Rights For All Who Want It.
    351
  254. George Carlin was too ahead of his time in understanding power dynamics within the context of punching down in comedy.
    350
  255. Excellent commentary, Max K.
    350
  256. As a volunteer for Bernie we are ONLY trained to speak on policy. This is ludicrous.
    349
  257. Nothing like 80s nostalgia. I'm surprised he didn't throw in Reagan's line about welfare queens driving Cadillacs.
    349
  258. Like I always say rather be woke than sleep. They literally want you asleep on everything they do. Wonder why??
    348
  259. We don't speak of Catwoman. We talk about Blade before Catwoman. Lol great video
    348
  260. Who can hate Bernie? The man has great ideas and is working to make them a reality. Those are the politicians you want....they keep their promises and get things done!!
    347
  261. "We are not the party of climate change deniers" Curb Your Enthusiasm theme plays
    345
  262. Wendy Williamā€™s audience is literally a bunch of Wii Bowling NPCā€™s
    344
  263. The man, the legend, the dude who introduced me to The Rational National
    344
  264. Isn't obstructing the mail a federal crime? Not only is he planning on slowing down ballots, he will also be slowing down prescription medicines that are mailed to peoples' homes. This makes me so angry.
    342
  265. I'm a Canadian who grew up in the seventies, and I've never seen the UK and the US leave Canada hanging out to dry like this in my lifetime. It is, I fear, a sign of how conservative and corporate and xenophobic they have become in comparison to previous times.
    342
  266. And they cry when we call their ass weird
    341
  267. The main ad Iā€™ve been seeing is ā€œFetterman sides with Bernie Sanders ā€œ duh! Hell yes! They think thatā€™s a slur ffs šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚
    341
  268. The only way for people to accumulate that much wealth is an exploitative system. We need more AOC's elected in 2020! When the gov't gives huge tax breaks to the mega rich, that's a transfer of wealth. Taxes are not funding fed spending, they remove that money from the economy, so when the poor and middle class are taxed, that's removing wealth from the system for those income brackets. MMT, read into it folks, it's fascinating.
    341
  269. I can't get over that zinger at the end. Running against a Kennedy, and going that route. I love it.
    340
  270. As a Bernie fan and someone who doesnā€™t even really like Biden, I HOPE TO GOD he CRUSHES trump. Voted for Biden in TX!
    339
  271. They're not essential retail, they're essentially bankrupt.
    338
  272. They are reaching sooooo hard...because they can't find anything substantive to decry her on
    338
  273. I am 36 years old, my mom disowned me at the age of 17... I can count on two hands how many times we've spoken since then. Her religion has a complete hold on her. It's crazy to me that her belief in something beyond this life can keep her away from her own first born child. Not having a mom, or at least a loving one, is hard, daily...I wouldn't wish it on anyone.
    336
  274. Iā€™m 73, the mother of a gay man and a huge supporter of the transgender community. The right usurp the statements made by progressives to use against those of us who are reasonable. You are a voice of reason in a sea of drama. There is ā€œhateā€ in huge quantities on the internet. That doesnā€™t include disagreeing agreeably. Always watch you. šŸ‘šŸ»
    335
  275. I LOVED watching Bernie quote FDRā€™s famous ā€œI welcome their hatred!ā€ line. Itā€™s so perfect for him to use specifically.
    334
  276. Cornel West is truly the G.O.A.T. !
    332
  277. AOC gets alot of negative press from all sides but she continues to shine in These Hearings.
    331
  278. As a Nashville resident, I generally avoid the celebrity-owned bars, but I will 100% make an exception for Garth. On a side note, my SO recently got to work with Garth for a documentary. He is just as cool in person as his persona.
    331
  279. "They got all that money" there's the biggest laugh in awhile.
    330
  280. I am a mixed, black man living in Atlanta. I would never ever ever ever ever condone the government literally occupying and repressing places in Georgia with lots of klan membershp. Militant repression is not justified "cuz some bad people exist".
    330
  281. As someone in Kentucky, I have been so happy about the results since last night! Matt Bevin's literally the most unpopular governor in America. Good riddance to him. #ByeByeBevin
    329
  282. The NHS literally saved my life when I was younger, or all the many times I had broken bones or needed stitches, yeah there's a long wait time, but I cannot believe what I'd do without it.
    327
  283. I'm a proud Canadian and underwent a kidney transplant in 2010. It didn't cost me a cent. WTF America
    327
  284. the brit tv dude saying ā€œwhy would the US raise the drug prices?ā€ just made me spit out my drink laughing
    325
  285. Pool calling Sam and Emma grifters is laughable coming from him. Sam and Emma have been as consistent ideologically as you could be, while Pool went from Occupy Wall St to being a conservative politician bootlicker. He projects so much of what he does its wild.
    324
  286. IĀ saw a room full of Trump voters in West Virginia give Bernie Sanders a standing ovation in less than 2 minutes. The word "socialism" probably won't sell very well outside of young people in coastal urban centers, but Bernie would have done great in middle America.
    324
  287. Who can unite us better than someone thatā€™s out for the 99%?! šŸ¤¦šŸ½ā€ā™€ļø
    323
  288. Itā€™s amazing how these people put themselves in the middle of other peopleā€™s conversations and get mad when they are called out.
    323
  289. Far left = wanting evidence before jumping to conclusions, pro peace, marijuana legalization, raises for teachers, living wage, tuition free college, Medicare for all, protection of net neutrality. Hmmm. I think most Americans would be on the "far left."
    323
  290. Go back in time and show this to a person in 2016 and they'll look at you like you're crazy.
    322
  291. Classic appeal to emotion fallacy. Even if she did die of an OD and was addicted to illegal drugs, legalizing and regulating them would likely make drugs safer. Plus, if someone is addicted, the way to make them better certainly wouldnā€™t be to lock them up!
    320
  292. Thanks for the great analysis, David! Also, congrats on the TYT interview! Glad you're getting some great recognition, it's been great backing you on Patreon! :')
    319
  293. Finally somebody said it. Why is it left wing to be pro humanitarian? Why if I want to help my fellow humans am I a lefty and not a humanist? Many of these issues that the party of "civil liberties" sides against are about limiting some people's rights. Doesn't sound like the party of civil liberties to me.
    317
  294. "Too often our side gets pulled in to what you're doing" I like that he pointed that out. Democrats time and again fall for Republican traps, fall for Republican framing of issues, and that's gotta stop.
    317
  295. While weā€™re at it, could we have she-socialism to give the she-means of production back to the she-working class, and reduce global emissions to combat she-climate change?
    316
  296. Heā€™s acting surprised that this guy believes ā€˜the big lieā€™ when he himself contributed to election misinformation. You helped create this monster sir.
    316
  297. So to summarize: the Pope - the leader of the Catholic Church, historically one of the most conservative entities ever in power - is now trending further left than the (forthcoming) US Supreme Court.
    315
  298. Remember people: you can simultaneously rail against Russia AND refrain from deifying Zelenskyy.
    313
  299. Yeah, not a single trans person thought it was transphobic. I too love being a woman. This story is just more DARVO from the people who want us dead. Thankyou for covering this and setting the record straight. šŸ³ļøā€āš§ļøā¤
    313
  300. Good call to action. Every MP that voted against should be getting calls every minute for their supporting the wealthy. Disgusting
    312
  301. I can only speak for myself as someone from Bernie land, Washington state, but there's nothing be can do to convince me that she's on our side. If they want a female president stop treating Nina Turner as a pariah. I will vote enthusiastically. Not because she's a woman, not because she's black, but because she's progressive and principled.
    312
  302. Joe Biden was not lying when he said: "Andrew Cuomo has never backed away from his progressive principles." True, since Cuomo doesn't have any progressive principles to back away from.
    311
  303. "Like mayonnaise and tuna?" "No, like beef and cheese" Omg that had me laughing so hard. Is this not the epitome of a real conversation had everyday between 2 Americans from 2 totally different backgrounds, or what!
    311
  304. One of the things that struck me was how fast, over and over, he twisted to attack trans people / LGBT people and pushing that. No matter what the subject was
    308
  305. The NHS has given cancer treatment to a family member for 11 years, cost her Ā£00.00, maybe car park charges only... Today she lives to bring up her daughter .Not broken underfunded
    307
  306. The Republican primaries are going to be guilty pleasure entertainment
    307
  307. Oh my God Whoopi. Democratic doesnā€™t mean Democrat.
    305
  308. Kavanaugh was a complete buffoon at the hearings. This is what it looks like when an entitled, elitist rich kid gets his ''I'm special'' bubble burst. Constant fits of crocodile tears, moaning and casual lying for being held accountable once in his life, because his right to this position is being ''infringed.'' That says a lot about him. He's not officially guilty, but an investigation is necessary, otherwise this is a moral travesty if this question is left floating unanswered.
    305
  309. According to Seinfeld, supporting Palestinians, caring about the environment, caring about racism....or anything that contradicts his self-centredness....labels you as "extreme left". I've seen this all too much from so many people in his camp. Anything not extreme right wing....is essentially extreme left. That's why these people label the Liberal Party in Canada as "extreme left", even though they are blatantly right wing in virtually all their significant policies. What people like Seinfeld state.....really just amounts to sheer self-absorbed stupidity/ignorance.
    304
  310. Ok I'm very glad that Dina stood behind him when others would have awkwardly changed the subject.
    303
  311. Marc Lamont Hill deserves better than CNN. He's a bright man and should shed no tears over CNN. In days or weeks he's in a better position. CNN are the losers, but they're use to it so they can just dry up their tears and move on. They don't understand that they just have fired a very bright guy for very wrong reasons.
    303
  312. I like that you include that anti-ego point. Everyone gets defensive when they are called out for being wrong but some people can better overcome their emotions and realize that they are not their arguments. Also Joe keeps moving the goal post here trying to find a spot where he can claim he is right. "We're talking about young people. Yeah teenagers. Oh, they are at higher risk with post covid myocarditis too? What about 10 year old? Infants?"
    301
  313. I'm a 66 year old coot, but I'm with the millennials on this issue. I want Bernie Sanders in 2020.
    301
  314. It's crazy, I love boxing and never watch ESPN. Not to shit on other sports, I just only watch boxing. Max Kellerman is one of the few commentators that boxers like listening too that has never boxed. He has an incredible knowledge of the sport as well as its history. He is known to be one of the few commentators to really know what he's talking about, another being Jim Lampley. I am happy to see that his knowledge is not only in the sweet science but in our nations history as well as what is really going on in this world today. Smart guy in sports, as well as a smart guy in understanding the truth.
    301
  315. VA Resident here...after all of the canvassing and going off of 3 hours of sleep... I'm extremely proud of us...but we gotta make the Democrats actually do things now...thanks for covering us!
    301
  316. At least my vote got counted for Bernie from Canada as a dual citizen.
    301
  317. ā€œTruth matters in a society.ā€ Ben Shapiro as he invents statistics out of thin air
    300
  318. WOW , my white brother , thank you for the transparency. this is how we fight racism. Did you hear Snoop Dogg say , WOW after Max Rant ?
    300
  319. 73 year old me loves your podcasts, David. Your calm, sane commentaries have helped me through. I understand that this is difficult. Thank you and don't forget to take care of you.
    300
  320. Cant imagine what its like being one of the three people who made this game back in 2018.... two years later it blows up to the point where AOC plays it in front of hundreds of thousands of people. Unreal.
    299
  321. The clintons should take a long walk into the woods and never come back.
    299
  322. Thank you, David, for sharing the work! Iā€™m the person who made the video and itā€™s very cool to see it shared on such a big platform.
    297
  323. I'm 13 and the insult of "gay" is seen as childish and immature even at a middle school! Crowder is the ultimate fool.
    296
  324. The audience audibly gasped when she said 60%. That moment was invaluable.
    295
  325. David...according to Tuckers logic, why are Republicans in government arent they against it?
    295
  326. Also, Rubin's evidence is movies and books. That's his evidence. Fiction.
    294
  327. Ilhan also raised 1.1 million, fourth on the list after Pelosi on Small Dollar donations.
    293
  328. Funny. I see Jeremy Corbyn and Bernie Sanders as the only forces that are capable of both defeating Donald Trump (the far-right) and actually fixing the damage to Western democracies that has been inflicted by 4 decades of neoliberalism.
    292
  329. At age 72, I don't trust Biden. Social Security is a lucrative vein to mine. Biden will just tell folks what they want to hear.
    292
  330. MSNBC feels free to criticize any progressive. They don't criticize establishment Demoncrats.
    292
  331. I was her constituent in Tempe AZ, even getting assistance from her office. I was excited when she took a seat from Republicans... then she got to congress, dumped on the base that elected her and tried to "represent all Arizonans." She was pure political ambition, willing to do or say whatever she thought would play for her. Good riddance.
    291
  332. It's amazing how losers tend to tell winners how to win.
    290
  333. This is happening every week here in Honolulu. They get front page every timešŸ˜‚
    289
  334. "It's okay to go outside and do something else at this time" Truly needed to be said, and why I respect David and The Rational National channel ever more.
    288
  335. I listened to Cornel West on the Rumble podcast. He basically said "if you want us to vote for Biden, fine, but don't LIE about who he is."
    287
  336. Thank you David for your very balanced and mature reporting. The problem, as I see it, having been supporting the progressive ideas for the past 55 years (Iā€™m 86 now) Is that some on the (left) are just as closed minded and authoritarian as those on the (right) and I cannot accept that kind of thinking or support that kind of leadership. I will fully support those candidates who put the people they will represent above the wishes of the Billionaire and mega corporations. I still hold the TYT and Kyle K. In the highest esteem as I do you David. Let us hope that these ā€œwanna beā€ leaders do not do permanent damage to the causes we hold dear.
    287
  337. Remember when the Infectious Disease Expert on Rogans show basically predicted everything that has happened with this Pandemic? Rogan has gone in the exact opposite direction on this since that interview.
    285
  338. ā€œThey hate free speech!ā€ he said, as they run away from protestors waving picket signs. ā€œHow dare they interrupt our publicity stunt!ā€ šŸ˜­
    284
  339. With all due respect to Joy Reid, she does NOT know what the fuck she is talking about with regard to the recent special election in Montana! As a Montanan who knew nothing about Quist, I was eager to find out what he stood for - especially compared to Greg Gianforte, who is a billionaire. Gianforte ran - and LOST - in the 2016 gubernatorial race in Montana. His number one rival/opponent was Steve Bullock, the incumbent, Democratic governor of Montana! Quist did NOT run a good campaign - contrary to Bernie Sander's own statement that "Quist ran a good campaign". Quist did not run a campaign that even remotely resembled the kind of campaign Bernie ran in 2016. I am not sure why Bernie said he did run a good campaign or why Quist did not run one more like Bernie's. Whatever the case, this is an entirely different topic, worthy of full discussion apart from this one. Quist's campaign was predominantly negative. It focused on Gianforte and how 'awful' he was as compared with himself. The only positive things that he included in any of his commercial advertisements were: 1) a promise that he would not institute a sales tax in Montana; 2) a commitment to keeping our public lands open to the public and; 3) a vague assurance that he would not support the 'healthcare' legislation recently passed by Congress and being considered in the Senate. Quist also did what just about every Democrat running for office in Montana does. He showed his support for gun owners. The way he did this was cringe-worthy at best. Quist proudly showed himself carrying a rifle and took a shot at a computer that I believe was supposed to belong to Gianforte. WTF?? To me, this election offered further proof that a negative campaign is a LOSING campaign!! To be sure, Quist had to beat insurmountable odds to win. Gianforte was heavily favored to win this election. After all, Montana had voted in favor of Trump over Clinton by a spread of 21 points. As such, Quist had to run a nearly flawless campaign if he ever hoped to win the election. He did not come close to running a flawless campaign. A final word for those people who have derided and chastised Montanans for electing a person into office who body-slammed a reporter (Yes, Chris Hayes, I am including you as one of the 'deriders') - let me make one thing perfectly clear! The body-slamming incident occurred on the eve of the election. By that time, more than two-thirds of Montanans had already submitted their ballots on it! If this had happened BEFORE most of us had already voted, I believe that Gianforte would have LOST!!
    283
  340. Manitoban here. I spent about 10 hours yesterday knocking on doors to bring people out to the polls, so it's really great to see it all pay off. I followed the campaign pretty closely throughout, both for the last month, and pretty much the last two years of PC governance and pre-campaign. I'd love to be able to talk more about it, so if any of you have any questions about the Manitoba election or Manitoba politics in general, feel free to ask me.
    283
  341. So basically you have to be perfect from birth and always hold progressive views. Cenk was a conservative back then and of course on the right we saw lots of support for Roy "give me your daughters" Moore who was supported by probable sexual harasser, career fraudster, racist and overall disgrace to humanity Donald Trump...i.e the President. Fucking hell...
    282
  342. The Progressive International was founded by Yanis Varoufakis and Bernie Sanders. The PI fully supports Jeremy Corbyn and all honest hardworking progressives. If the NDP has a problem with Corbyn and fellow progressives then they are nothing more than a cowardly centrist party.
    280
  343. "We are not a party of climate change deniers" Delegates: We're about to end this man's whole career.
    280
  344. she ain't lost her mind. half her job is to undermine the progressive wing. she's doing her job.
    279
  345. Bernie Sanders was an activist during the Civil Rights Movement and was present on the day that Martin Luther King gave his immortal ā€œI Have A Dreamā€ speech. Bakari Sellers ought to be ashamed of himself for making such a weak & unfounded accusation. Furthermore, Bernieā€™s statement was completely accurate. Thanks for sharing this. šŸ‘
    279
  346. I have to say, as a senior... I am soooo proud of our adultĀ youth.
    278
  347. Warren could have been an amazing champion in this movement, instead she is smearing the person with the best chance to defeat Trump.
    276
  348. When you listen to Trump apologists try to defend him, swap out ā€œTrumpā€ with ā€œSupreme Leader.ā€ See how that sounds.
    276
  349. When you have to apologize for having morals and displaying human emotions,you know that something is deeply,terribly wrong.
    275
  350. I was shocked when Brand went off like that and said out loud "I guess he's not getting invited back for a while." Maher seems to go out of his way not to invite real progressives on his show for exactly this reason, he doesn't want to discuss how shitty his neo liberal friends are. And Maher saying Bernie got a fair shot is such bullshit. Super delegates fucked Bernie over. One person's vote counting for 10,000 or whatever the number is is not fucking democratic.
    275
  351. "Paying more for less" is the Conservative mantra.
    274
  352. I never had strong feelings about PIerce before, but the way he would ask a question and talk over here is pissing me off! I"m glad she told him what's what. Obama sucked too, but he's assuming she's a fan just because she's against Trump, and we can barely hear her debunk that assumption. He's a weakling with a weak point, who knows that she would make him look like an idiot if she got a chance to speak.
    272
  353. "Piss in a bottle Capitalism" I think that's the phrase that should be tagged to Amazon until it lets its employees unionize.
    270
  354. The fact she was at the ready with the "56 percent tax" line kinda proves his point. She sounded like she was trying to shut down the conversation, not start it.
    270
  355. What a waste of money on a trust fund baby. All of the money the federal government could have taxed John McCain on through inheritance tax could have been used to pay for policies like Medicare for all instead of being hoarded by a useless offspring of a wealthy family
    269
  356. It's funny that Israel tried to justify this by showing people flinging rocks with sling shots. One side has billions of dollars worth of weapons from the most powerful country in the world and the other is literally throwing rocks smh.
    268
  357. Completely agree with David that the worst thing the Liberal gov't did was to go back on their promise of electoral reform. I participated in the cross-Canada consultations and was furious when they just threw up their hands and said "no change."
    268
  358. I cant understand why the right are so threatenend by the idea of sharing. Anything done for the collective good is deeply threatening. The idea that yr taxes should go to people who do not need it is psychopathic. It was funny to watch one of the most priviledged millenials in the country McCain nearly wet her pants at the thought of an undeserving poor baby might get 'free' healthcare. I'm an aussie, we literally do have 'medicare for all'( here, it's called Medicare) we pay for it by a 1% tax on our earnings. We call it 'The Medicare levy' and get on with our lives knowing if we get sick or break our leg, we wont be facing bankrupcy
    267
  359. She's the perfect example of why the estate tax is crucial.
    266
  360. I'm a biologist and have told people I'm a socialist because I'm a biologist. If you look at systems like mathematicians, looking at possible outcomes, you see that altruism or mutually beneficial societies are more productive than selfish societies. Haystack model and the iterative snowdrift dilemma show that the cooperative community is more successful & productive than the community with selfish members. I have looked at democratic socialists since I first payed attention to politics. It makes sense to work together to achieve more as long as we commit only what does not actually cause us harm as individual members. This varies for each as to what causes harm. Some members are able to contribute more to the shared cost, without harm, than others. The point is a pooled effort achieves a greater yield than a solo effort. Together we build hospitals, libraries, highways, and a postal system, while alone, none of these are possible.
    266
  361. I'm transgender and as of this year, my staunchly conservative mother has changed her voter registration and plans to vote all blue in the midterms because of the transphobic Reich like Hawley.
    263
  362. His father posted on facebook that he is stable
    263
  363. She's right. No one should have that much money. No one has that much money without somehow screwing over the little people below. I don't care what you think, if you follow the trail, its corrupt. Not to mention they're just hogging up all the wealth that could be spread around to more people in the world.
    261
  364. Honestly for all the talk about an obsession from the left for identity politics, I Honestly can't remember a heard a political take from the right that wasn't about gender, pronouns, CRT, or sexuality in about 5 years. It's the politics of distraction and no answers
    261
  365. How Shapiro gets any traction or credibility after the Andrew Neil interview is laughable .. He's a fraud ..
    260
  366. Yeah, Rising has lost ALL credibility and that includes most of the audience. The comment section on the channel is infuriating. The idiotic conspiracy and culture war obsessed hosts (Kim, Robby, Batya, etc) have made the show utterly unwatchable. Batya, the woman on the left, pulled the old bait and switch. She presents herself as a leftist, but ALL of her takes tend to be right wing idiocy. I think a lot of youtube personalities are attempting to capitalize on and intentionally appeal to the more engaged right wing audience.
    257
  367. I loved how the day before Meghan McCain was pulling the typical GOP talking point ā€œSheā€™s a socialist!ā€ and trying to scare people into not supporting her. But when face to face with Alexandria sheā€™s careful with her words and not talking shit. Again goes to show mainstream media has no idea how to tackle her and her positions because most people support these positions. So instead, they try to smear her as a communist.
    257
  368. Now, I know why he can so casually fund the genocide in Yemen. He doesnā€™t genuinely see dark-skinned people as people.
    256
  369. As a HUMAN artist working in visual effects, I can't believe this shit passed any sort of quality control. I'm here pixel fucking things down to every last detail making sure every single edge in my VFX shots is perfect to get past the client VFX supervisors, meanwhile AI gets away with this ?
    255
  370. Ironically, ā€œleaking hatersā€ pretty much sums up her geriatric audience
    254
  371. Bernie Sanders knows his medicare-for-all bill that he will be presenting tomorrow to the senate has no chance of passing. Bernie is no dummy, he wants to get Democrats on record voting in favor of his Medicare for all bill when it doesn't count. This way when it does count these Democratic politicians will have to explain to their voters why they flip flopped when they're vote counted.
    254
  372. This is the kind of person CNN would fire... I've never even heard of him, and that's a shame, because anyone w/ a platform who speaks up for Palestine is a hero in my book. He'll bounce back. People with ethics don't belong on corporate television anyway.
    253
  373. She lost with her establishment shtick and then claims to have advice for progressives lol
    253
  374. I like how the new right finds the most random, & many times false, stories that apply to less than one percent of population and think it's a national problem. Then they ignore their friends & family dying from an actual pandemic.
    251
  375. Thanks so much for the support, David!! I love your show.
    250
  376. Murders mean nothing to a country full of people raised to value property over human lives. People look for ANY excuse to ignore murder, I'm glad these a athletes put it in their face.
    250
  377. Jeremy Corbyn and Bernie Sanders could possibly improve world vision, in 2020.
    249
  378. 2016: There's a special place in hell for women who don't support other women. 2018: Oh wait, she's progressive... nvm jk!

  379. As someone who having his wages garnished to pay off student debt, I definitely don't feel freešŸ˜‘
    248
  380. Was having a "meh" day, listened to this, Having a great day now.
    247
  381. To walk up on stage and slap someone over a bad joke is insane. Like flat out crazy, and don't even get me started on how bad of a rolemodel he is handling this with violence infront of the entire world. The dude has lost his mind.
    247
  382. What pisses me off is that my parents believed his lies despite them believing ALL politicians are full of it
    246
  383. How well did the "I'm just following orders" defense work at Nuremberg? What was seen on CNN was naked fascism on the streets of an American city. How far up the political ladder does fascism go in Minneapolis. The County D.A. has already announced evidence exists that contradicts one's own eyes. Will the pent up rage of the American people be unleashed?
    246
  384. Ben and the other conservatives are afraid of the truth
    246
  385. Bernie exudes class. What an amazing man. 1 of a kind!
    243
  386. As far as Iā€™m concerned progressivism is being humanitarian.
    243
  387. Thank you for doing this. I live in the UK and work in the nhs. Trump lies again!!!
    243
  388. Rest In Peace to a man who had his community in heart. He wasnā€™t just a rapper who talked about chains, drugs, cars and girls but wanted to genuinely help and serve others. What a character, what a manšŸ™šŸ¾. I hope the world takes note
    243
  389. Even Morning Joe reported that Bernie was the only candidate who could reach the Trump voter. The big wigs over at MSNBC must have given them a stern"talking to"
    242
  390. CNN: Why did you vote for the crime bill? CNN a week before: suffrage for prisoners? What do you want? The Boston Bomber to vote?
    241
  391. It's so easy to misunderstand/be misunderstood online. It's happened to me many times and I have no issue apologizing and explaining I misunderstood someone's PoV. It doesn't hurt my ego. I'd rather be accurate/understand accurately, than hold onto something untrue out of pride.
    241
  392. We should do everything he fears and weā€™ll be good šŸ˜‰
    240
  393. As a trans guy, I appreciate you making this video. I particularly like the bit at 15:13. Trans healthcare shouldn't concern anyone who's not directly involved in it. The only part that should concern everyone else is making sure that healthcare is accessible. Thank you for saying that, and for standing up for a group that is so consistently under attack right now.
    240
  394. The "people" who make this a big deal are cheapening sexism. They are crying wolf and soon enough, people won't even care.
    239
  395. You know whatā€™s funny, sheā€™s been going right for so long that I honestly thought she switched parties like a year ago. šŸ˜‚šŸŽ‰

  397. TP: Sam is a grifter Also TP: Sam lacks the ability to monetize his audience
    238
  398. I watched this on TV and had to turn it off because I was screaming profanities at the screen. I am from Alberta, and Alberta Health Services has screwed up my paperwork for years, I've had a bad relationship with the bureaucracy, but I would never want a world where they weren't there for me, even with their flaws. The only bad parts of Canadian health care for me are the privatized parts that cost out of pocket as with a lot of dental and optometry and some prescriptions and hospital parking and such. Meghan McCain has taken my normally pacifist attitude and given me the desire to punch her right in her smug, ignorant, lying, over-privileged face. What a rotten, nasty, Yankee cunt. (I don't often use that word, but it fits in this situation.)
    237
  399. She was one of the ones who asked Al Franken to resign without having done an investigation first.
    234
  400. Nina Turner would be amazing as America's first women president... unlike Hillary.
    234
  401. Also, ocasio went after Amazon today!! Plus, the Jane sanders investigation was concluded and sanders is innocent, as expected.
    234
  402. I hate how David implies that Bernie isn't sexy. Liberal misinformation.
    232
  403. I am a white male, veteran, gun owning, 71 yr old Marine from Texas. I agree with what you said about Nina Turner. She is my favorite Bernie Warrior.! Our Revolution! Bernie /Nina in 2020!
    232
  404. The biggest travesty here was that there was no push back from the panel host; bad guests happen, but the show has a responsibility to hold them accountable
    231
  405. I feel like the trucker convoy managed to convince (or con) more Americans of the legitimacy of their movement than they did Canadians. As a Canadian myself, to see so many American commentators fall for the trucker's bullshit, even commentators I tend to generally agree with, is very disappointing to say the least.
    231
  406. Regardless of how you feel about it ObamaCare (despite its problems) has helped more people then were hurt by it/our uninsured rate is the lowest its ever been, that said we still have a long way to go in order to take care of every sick person in this country. If the rest of the Developed World (Canada, Western Europe, Japan/South Korea, and Australia/New Zealand) can grant Single-Payer/healthcare for everyone, then why can't we do the same with Medicare/Social Security, especially if it costs taxpayers/our government less than it does now in the long-run? And ifĀ American citizens die from lacking access to affordable health insurance because the Republicans believe that the government shouldn't provide it then we are failing our country's promise of defending life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness forĀ its citizensĀ (The Declaration of Independence) or promoting the general welfare of all the people (The Constitution).

  407. I'm in the Uk and the NHS has saved my life this past 18 months after getting diagnosed with a brain tumour - I received 'free' surgery, a subsequent course of radio therapy and regular MRI scans.
    230
  408. Alexandria comes with logic, a clear vision, and HISTORICAL PROOF that socialist policies were responsible for making America the #1 economy in the world - not through trickle down, but by strengthening the middle class. The only way conservatives can refute this is by lying.
    230
  409. The irony is two actual SOCIALIST councils - and Liverpool's Mayor - bucked the trend and held on big-time. There's a lesson for right-wing Starmer and his team.
    230
  410. Why doesnā€™t she register as a cash machine?
    229
  411. Watching Obama say it a second time makes the irony much more obvious. Circular firing squad is exactly what he is doing to Progressives with this statement.
    229
  412. CNN is trying to throw as many obstacles as possible in the way of Independent news channels. They fear the competition.
    229
  413. I like Joy Reid but this video is on point. I remember her coverage of Bernie during 2016. She was almost hostile to him and his policies.
    228
  414. Bill Maher is an Islamophobic, warmongering mouthpiece for AIPAC, the military industrial-complex, and the DNC. All the Palestinians have been protesting for is their basic rights which have been repeatedly affirmed by international law and institutions. It's sad that even people on the "left" in the United States can't empathize with people who are being slaughtered en masse simply for demanding their basic rights.
    228
  415. Bernie Sanders also only lost Illinois and Missouri by less than 2% to Hilary Clinton in the primary. As someone who lives in IL I am disappointed in Tammys response.
    228
  416. Lol, he called it a tourist attraction. It's literally 2 blocks away from the massive Rockefeller Christmas tree that is an actual tourist attraction.
    228
  417. Listen, I'm an independent and don't like to be affiliated with either political party (democrat or republican). But I'm going to register myself as a democrat so I will be allowed to vote for Bernie in the primaries. Because it's either Bernie or bust. I also learned the hard way in 2016 that I wasn't able to vote for Bernie in the primaries because I wasn't a registered democrat.
    228
  418. Iā€™m so thankful for the work you do David! Iā€™m a longtime viewer of the channel and your consistency, humor, and sane input has kept me going through this whole election cycle. Your channel is a godsend and I wish you nothing but good health and positivity!
    227
  419. he believes in free speech meanwhile he blocked me on Twitter years ago for pointing out Israel's war crimes in Palestine & he called me anti semetic which was hilarious for an anti-sjw to use sjw tactics
    226
  420. A very respectful video actually David, fair criticism, without any ill will.
    226
  421. ā€œFormer comedian, now real-life Grandpa Simpsonā€ is literally funnier than anything Adam Corolla has ever said in his life
    226
  422. hahah jen kirkman blocked me for asking her why hillary supports war so often
    226
  423. What the ever loving F??? If anything, he was saying that Obama was so intelligent and charismatic he won in spite of the crappy Democratic Party business model. FFS.
    226
  424. I wouldn't say there's "rationing" in Canada. It's more like "triaging," where the most seriously ill are treated first, as they should be.
    225
  425. Foxconn promised 13,000 jobs in Wisconsin. How did that work out? Conservatives are shameless. They scream about "elites" in "coast cities", but when push comes to shove, they defend them. The party of "Rural America", defending NYC elites. Lol
    224
  426. This is literally the two Spidermen pointing at themselves meme
    222
  427. Funny how no one believes anything that comes out of the White House... And rightly so, but when the White House blames it all on Hamas, msnbc takes it as gospel. Okie doke.
    221
  428. I'm sick of these ppl. I saw tons of pundits on ABC last night blaming Beto O Rourke, Stacy Abrahms, and Andrew Gillum for being too left wing and losing for that reason, when all of them lost by less than 3 points. Meanwhile the same people were praising Claire McCaskill, Heidi Heitkamp, and Joe Donnelly for running as centrists even though they all lost by 10+ points. ABC anchors were saying how they ran the best possible race and they were just impossible.
    219
  429. "...They get to talking about how Chappelle was filming a certain sketch, and a crew member laughed at a beat that he thought wasn't really the point of the sketch. While there was racial humor in the sketch in question, the laughter seemed to stem from something not related to the satire. The crew member laughedĀ at Chappelle rather thanĀ withĀ him by the sound of it. As Chappelle puts it, "It just raised an interesting question to me, which I was already wrestling with in the first place." It sounds like Chappelle was already grappling with a serious dilemma: Did his show satirize racial stereotypes or reinforce them?" Kinda seems like Chappelle himself would disagree with a lot of people in this comments section that jokes are just jokes and nothing more
    219
  430. Wouldnā€™t not paying his taxes make him smart according to Trump followers?
    218
  431. Right-wing politics will always have a built-in advantage. It's appealing to an audience because they do not need to be thoughtful or informed but can still feel politically engaged and intelligent with no effort. You also have to consider the fact that they will always be better funded to propagate and cram their ideology down peoples throats since they are funded by and do the bidding of wealthy elites
    218
  432. Nina Turner for president 2020
    215
  433. I wonder if Meghan would be singing the same song if her dad was dead from lack of healthcare. Probably not. But then, we'd probably never have heard of her.
    214
  434. I want to see clips of BLM over Fox News' words they used regarding the Capitol riots. It would be equally awesome.
    213
  435. I love the way the pilot talked to him like a dog with that "sit" command and he proceeded to growl like a dog.
    213
  436. And people wonder why we need to retain anonymity on the internet. People must be allowed to change/grow overtime. This kinda thing is done in the UK all the time, the rightwing media will literally sit and trawl through years of twitter/facebook forum posts looking for anything people have said since they were a mardy teenager as a way to discredit anyone they disagree with politically.
    213
  437. I was the foreman at the last job I worked at and my best employees were pot heads. I don't care what drugs someone takes on or off the job, as long as they can still do their job. Some people drink coffee on their coffee breaks. Do we ban coffee because it is a drug? Job related accidents most likely happen because people are tired and over worked.
    213
  438. They went all the way down the Bernie path, agreeing all the way, until his name was mentioned and they just noped out lmao
    212
  439. She is AWESOME! He can't even listen to her say she's a Communist! Piers is like the other MAGA-hat people--they don't ever listen to what others are saying and they try to stick words in others' mouths. He is unlikable and lives to create controversy, which sells on mainstream media outlets. They don't care about presenting different points of view. Thanks, David, for sharing this with us.
    212
  440. The upswing in cases on the graph coincided with how Canada relaxed our vigilance and requirements to help stop the spread. Plus, I think we have the repeated mistake of comparing ourselves only to the US, and as long as we're doing slightly better than them, that's good enough for our 'leaders'.
    212
  441. thats not even misinterpreting what she said, thats just lying, Shapiro just straight up lied about what she said
    212
  442. Peltola won on her *49th* birthday, in the *49th* state, to complete the term of a person who served in that seat for *49* years. Poetic.
    211
  443. CNN should have used CNN+ as a reboot and got younger more politically left casters instead of putting them same people killing their tv ratings.
    210
  444. The absolute BEST part of that clip is her criticism of his "Journalistic" integrity. LOVE it! lol
    210
  445. Lol I did the same nasally Ben Shapiro impression while watching that clip and laughed pretty hard when Dave did his. Alright, that's it, I'll give you some patreon money.
    210
  446. For eight years, the right called Obama the "Muslim, Socialist anti-Christ" The left calls Trump a "traitor" and suddenly they're all like "Oh I say good sir, you've gone a bridge too far with that remark. Guffaw, harrumph, her-derp-a-derrr!!"
    210
  447. I love that bit "ivermectin could help COVID19 patients who are also suffering from parasitic infection." Yeah, and skin grafts are beneficial to people with depression who are currently in the ICU with 3rd degree burns. Who woulda thunk it
    210
  448. It could be really crazy if she actually got in. She may not be ideal in terms of a progressive to some people (including myself), but to remove such a figurehead and replace her with a very young and internet-connected/influential person could be crazy to shift things up IMO and potentially put a lot of foreign pressures on the democrats. And I do think she would have a pretty good chance as I imagine she has pretty good name recognition in Cali (at least younger people).
    209
  449. You know something is seriously wrong with establishment media when you have to apologize for being a moralist
    208
  450. Theyā€™re trying to wag the dog. Attempting to find outrage where none exists. It wonā€™t work. Weā€™re too smart for these kind of stunts. Try again. Better yet, donā€™t.
    208
  451. The people of Israel have OPENLY protested against Netanyahu countless times. For all his atrocities. Yet other than the recent protests about Bibi changing the courts to give himself full control of them, you don't see any coverage of the constant protests. If you bring up such things in the US or Canada you're immediately labeled as being anti-Semitic for criticizing Netanyahu or talking about the truth. Netanyahu IS NOT Israel or it's people. Being against his apartheid government is NOT being against Jews. It does NOT make you anti-Semitic.
    207
  452. I've said it elsewhere, Joe Biden and candidates like him DROVE ME TO REGISTER AS A DEMOCRAT. I've been an independent for 20 years. And the frontrunner Biden is SO GARBAGE that it DROVE ME to register democrat so I could vote in the primary and keep him out. Navarro is INSANE.
    206
  453. This was the best result for progressives in the UK for decades,for the first time in over 40 years we now have a real socialist, left wing opposition .A choice! Still can't believe it, how fast we have gone from outsider the media won't give a chance to,to a secure leader in a real Labour party that has 41% of the vote.I believed in Corbyn long term but he's proved the backstabbers wrong so beautifully. Seeing David Dimbleby tearing those slimy Blairites a new one was joyous.
    205
  454. Employers would save money too. That would not have to provide healthcare for employees. That savings can be help raise wages
    205
  455. Way to go Max!!! Way to go uploader, good looking out!!!!
    205
  456. ā€œNo corroboration...ā€..Ford took a lie detector test...Kavanaugh is a lying POS..just like Collins.
    203
  457. Thank you for focusing on this tragedy. People need to be informed.
    202
  458. I love that people in the end were cheering when she asked him if he was ever gonna stop with his endless platitudes and get to the policies. That gives me hope that I'm not the only ones annoyed with his never ending flowery words. My hope is that the younger generations aren't so easily impressed by a dude on a skateboard who only seems to speak with empty platitudes and cliches.
    202
  459. Thank you for covering Video games! As a developer in the industry (and former Blizzard employee) I appreciate the coverage and your thoughts on the topic!
    202
  460. Read the deficit myth. Politicians rely on the fact that citizens are ignorant of how the economy works.
    201
  461. I live in Toronto and the media isnā€™t mentioning this incredible level of hypocrisy the way they should. Not to mention DoFo inherited millions from his daddy
    200
  462. Being born Middle Class no longer means you stay Middle Class as many lose that status due to massive health care bills and job cutbacks.
    199
  463. Too bad Meghan, eventually the money for war runs out, and it did long ago. We have been running on debt for a long time, and the current admin just passed the biggest budget ever. So why is it such a horrible thing to ask for a little slice of the pie for the middle class? The war in Afghanistan alone could have paid for healthcare for every American for their entire lives.
    199
  464. Max Kellerman points out how the old white man's club aka NFL owners blackballed Kaep from the league for speaking against the systematic racism. ESPN tried to edit Kellerman's rant, but fortunately some lucky bastard was able to record it on his clip. BTW, I think ESPN aka Disney is down with ending net neutrality. Lol
    199
  465. Bernie 2020 let's gooooo
    198
  466. As someone who has been in several different unions... The dues they charge are honestly a very very small fraction, it has always been by far the smallest deduction on my paycheck. The protections and benefits I get are far more valuable than the small amount I forfeit in union dues.
    198
  467. This is getting ridiculous. I think David's passed frustration at this point, & it sucks to see him being bullied. Im going to sign up to become a patron & show support that way. Screw YouTube
    198
  468. I feel that the most important aspect of "cancelling" that is rarely discussed is the dynamics of power. It is impossible to "cancel" someone with institutional or financial backing. Is Rowling cancelled? Not that I can see from her mountain of money. I feel so much of this is impotent culture war nonsense and can never have the ability to challenge power in any significant way. Cancelling only seems to work toward internally purging those without material power i.e. working class people. The whole thing feels like a Liberal psy-op in order to rob the working class of the ability to build large coalitions capable of exerting power on this system. Can Biden be cancelled? Doesn't seem so because he's the Dem candidate and is also a war mongering rapist who championed the brutalization of working class people of color. I just don't see anything positive could ever come from this formulation. We need more people on the Left and any actions that undermine the ability to build coalitions is fundamentally a losing strategy. Someone's personal and individual prejudice or bigotry means absolutely nothing if they have no power to make those beliefs a reality. Should the Left foster a culture of anti-bigotry? Of course! Should we essentialize these characteristics within the individual? Absolutely not! Like I said this whole thing reeks of cointelpro kind of psyop. If the FBI didn't invent it they sure as hell are benefitting from it.
    197
  469. Oh, Lord. If these people put a tenth of their energy in actually helping others instead of obsessing over other people's private parts, the world would be a much better place.
    197
  470. I love how the Coke commercial has a guy with a center tooth and they were like "yup, looks good to me". šŸ˜‚
    197
  471. I am glad Mr. Glaude made the very astute comparison between the Children's March of 1963 and what's happening with Palestinian children who are being massacred in nonviolent protest.
    196
  472. God damn! She nailed it. This was a textbook response to this question. She has an unbelievable talent as a politician, and I actually mean this in a positive sense. She is a respectable, honest, well meaning, talented politician with the heart in the right place. She is almost like a unicorn...
    196
  473. Sheā€™s quite a powerhouse, I hope that even if she doesnā€™t go the distance that she still ends up with an important role in the next administration... too much talent for her not to be utilized!
    196
  474. Meghan Mccain has been painted as this 'reasonable conservative' since she supports gays rights or whatever while repeating far-right talking points and screeching when she feels attacked. Her entire career trajectory is based on nepotism and her father's status. Will she ever talk about that? Nope. She's not educated and if you ever watch the view, when they interview Black guests or other guests of color, Meghan usually isn't there, I wonder why.
    195
  475. Gall, David. Gall is the word you want.
    194
  476. Joe is nothing if not honest. His ideas are not set in stone and he is willing to change his mind when new evidence is presented to him. The fact that he can have a conversation with people from all over the political spectrum is really admirable in my opinion.
    194
  477. MSNBC, a "liberal" news channel that forbids hosts from covering people that are anti-establishment.
    193
  478. Across my state? I live in Arizona. We hate her. She lead a horrible campaign and then went on to go against everything she ever said she believed in. She never showed up to explain her decisions and literally hid from any accountability.
    193
  479. It's pathetic how people are calling her a sell out. She was being honest. She isn't an expert on Israel/Palestine and she has a lot to learn. Her heart is in the right place. She will improve and expand on her knowledge like she does everything else.
    193
  480. My mom forces me to watch this guy every Sunday. Now I'm gonna say: "I'll watch when he actually practices what he preaches". UPDATE: She still made me watch him and when I said that I didn't want to she said "it's sad that you believe the small things you see online and that you believe everything they say"....My thoughts: uh wouldn't that still apply to you believing everything HE says. Seems a little hypocritical. She thinks that since he is a pastor he can do no wrong and that everyone else is lying... Good grief.
    193
  481. Thanks so much David. I've shared this video with my American friends. We need Canadian-style healthcare, and we need it now.
    192
  482. 100% not shocked. MSNBC betrayed this country so badly.
    192
  483. People are quite literally booing the words of the Bible. Lol!
    191
  484. I bet none of the mainstream media will talk about his socialist views.
    190
  485. If the right would not fight for Colin Kaepernick I will not fight for a douche like Alex Jones
    189
  486. I'd love to see this guy work a full-time minimum wage job.
    189
  487. If Bernie runs in 2020, Trump loses in a landslide of epic proportions. THAT is the bottom line!
    189
  488. Rep. Park Cannon was ARRESTED for just knocking on a door.
    188
  489. Always fascinates me how Canadians (and Australians) are so like us British and how different we all are from Americans. By the way, I have nothing but good things to say about the NHS...I've had two births, 3 major operations (two due to cancer), numerous tests and treatment, and they literally saved my life...couldn't be more grateful or prouder....my only wishes are that this system stays for future generations and that the USA will one day be enlightened enough to adopt the same.
    187
  490. It was a hard time for Ed cause his wife has cancer. He had to keep health insurance. I love Ed. He got screwed.
    186
  491. I'm sharing the shit out of this video, David. This is complete bullshit.
    186
  492. Geraldo is right about this. I have cousins living in Canada and two of them are trucker. They told me that most Canadian truckers are against this so called freedom Convoy. Not just truckers but also people.
    186
  493. As a minister, I would never bake a wedding cake for a gay couple. And I believe my reasoning is sound. I've tried baking cakes and they have the texture of a brick. However, if a gay couple asks me to officiate their wedding, that, I can do..
    186
  494. Thank you so much for covering this. I know these videos don't get you viral view counts, but it's so important that voices like yours that have some presence on this platform are getting the word out there in a format that can be shared with others. We need to end voter apathy in this province! Everyone is just barely scraping by - another Conservative term will be utterly devastating for Ontario.
    186
  495. People always say, "money doesn't buy happiness". Try telling that to a parent whose child is dying because they can't afford medical treatment.
    185
  496. Bernie was saying that the Democratic Party has been doing poorly not because of Obama but in spite of Obama, and he went way out of his way to make that distinction absolutely clear.
    185
  497. 20:44 of the video. He learned, changed, evolved, AND HE FOUNDED THIS ORGANIZATION.
    185
  498. I am a woman, and what makes my skin crawl ā€” and I can certainly articulate why ā€” is when other women demand that I, as a woman, fall in line and support the female candidate, based on the chromosomes and not any policy whatsoever. And the skin-crawling is especially bad when these same matriarchs then turn around and support the male candidates themselves (AOC vs. Crowley; Cynthia Nixon vs. Cuomo, etc., etc., etc.)
    184
  499. Remember its radical if the platform is to benefit poor people's lives but endless tax cuts and endless war is common and standard
    184
  500. Merrick Garland should be fired. So dumb.
    184
  501. Your impression of Ben, lol.
    184
  502. That segment pissed me off. Meghan was yelling over Joy and what irritates me most is that they don't care about what policies people like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez are advocating for....all they care about is the stupid label.
    182
  503. The MS media loves to take the reasonable people to task and let the lunatics speak with impunity.
    182
  504. we all know that we need bernie
    182
  505. Thatcher oversaw the largest industrial decline in britain's history and two recessions , we lost 2/3 rds of our manufacturing output. The problem with crony far right junk economics is that you eventually run out of state assets to privatise and give to the rich. Joy Behar demolished mini McCain
    182
  506. The county analysis is kind of crazy, considering we know these counties are on average less densely populatedā€¦ you expect greater case rates /deaths in urban/blue counties by default.
    181
  507. The establish media is so terrified of Bernie, it's laughable. Loved the end of this, such an optimistic message. Notice how the establish NEVER EVER advocates working class people to run. Things are going to change, but we have to keep fighting.
    181
  508. Prem Thakker is amazing. He consistently asks for the results of the Israeli investigation into Hind Rajab's killing. He keeps track of the number of days since she was killed and ALWAYS asks them if they have results from the investigation. He never stops. That persistence is incredibly admirable. I hope he asks that question forever until he gets a real answer, they owe everyone more than that BS of "we are working with our partners in Israel".
    180
  509. Just watched the interview. 18 minutes of Biden yelling at him for even trying to ask him questions.
    180
  510. Cenk uygur has said many times that this is a war for advertising money. Cable news and msm in general see their revenues shrink because businesses spend a larger and larger part of their ad budget on new platforms such as youtube and social media. That's the reason why cnn puts out vicious articles like this one. They are trying to stop the blood loss that is threatening their survival.
    179
  511. AOC is the future of the Democratic party. Nancy Pelosi is its past. Pelosi is obsolete.
    179
  512. I hate the BS argument we shouldn't talk ill-will of the dead. If someone did heinous things in their life, we shouldn't be treating them like they were a good person & just ignore the bad they did.
    179
  513. Its amazes me that Dana Bash has a job but Mehdi Hasan gets his show cancelled. Its boggles the mind.
    176
  514. He was 30 years old when he was doing blackface, not just a ā€œkidā€.
    176
  515. Emmm we dont have a 56% tax rate in Finland. We have a progressive taxation system which means that the more you make, the more you pay in taxes. This means that you might have a marginal tax rate of 56%, meaning that each new euro you make will be taxed at 56% BUT this does not mean that your income is taxed fully at 56%. You would literally have to be in the top 0,1% of income earners in order to have a 56% income tax rate. Jesus, how little do these reporters know about the topics that they talk about...
    176
  516. Why do progressives (almost always) let conservatives get away with the bĆ¼llshĆ®t suggestion that we need to explain how we're going to PAY for Medicare for Allā€¦ when Medicare for All would SAVE the country more than $1.5 Trillion per year over the cost of our current, privatized, for-profit system? You might as well scoff at someone for not explaining how s/he's going to afford fuel when s/he trades in a Humvee for a Prius.
    173
  517. This is ABSOLUTELY insulting what she said about the midwest. I'm from Tammy's state even (IL), and most people here and in Iowa/Minnesota/Wisconsin/Indiana have a TON of progressive people. I can't believe she said that.
    173
  518. Notice she said "you called me a liar" not "why did you lie " thats a big difference
    173
  519. Biden canā€™t make left stay asleep after Trump loses since he lacks Obamaā€™s charisma
    173
  520. ā€œIf youā€™re not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressingā€- Malcolm X. First Israel/Palestine and now the Bernie smearing, MSM has failed the populace
    173
  521. Nina Turner can be such a powerful speaker can we please elect this person
    172
  522. I love that her tweet unveiling this poll isnt arrogant either. she knows what's up, she's seen and participated in too many elections to get complacentā€”so we can't get complacent either!
    172
  523. Does anyone remember when she said on the View that she considers herself Jewish because she's friends with Joe Lieberman?
    171
  524. I'm Australian, but my dad's side of the family lives in Michigan. When I last visited in 2016/17, I showed my grandmother my Medicare Card (public healthcare card) and explained how cheap and more effective our public healthcare system is. Anecdotal evidence alone was enough to convince my grandmother that it was a better option. She has voted republican most of her voting life. It is the stubbornness and lack of political imagination, that has allowed the idea of public healthcare to be lampooned rather than accepted as it is = objectively better for the majority.
    171
  525. Looks like the billionaire funded Koch trollls found this videošŸ˜‚
    171
  526. SA sounds like a high school girl: ā€œOmg Canada said something mean to me? Itā€™s over between usā€
    171
  527. Private insurance employees would have skills that could be transferred to other jobs - like all the new jobs that will need to be filled in Medicare itself to service all the new enrollees.
    171
  528. As a Muslim in the west who has experienced multiple counts of islamophobia, who has suffered through years of misrepresentation I really appreciate u reporting on this!
    170

  530. Honestly, people like Milo come to college campuses and just say stupid, bigoted things IN ORDER to draw protestors. Then they can go on Fox News and complain that liberals are suppressing their free speech.

  531. Iā€™ve been doing grassroots volunteering in Virginia this year and the main issue is not whether someone would vote for Biden or West but if they will come out alto vote at all. Non voters are the real challenge and getting them to come out to vote is the real work. I am hopeful about GenZ uptick in voter registration šŸ‘šŸ½

  533. Calling out social media companies for their b.s. "we can't hire enough moderators" argument needs to happen more often. It's exactly as you say, they can prioritize moderation of accounts based on their reach on the platform

  534. "Her mother was theĀ Tyne Tees TelevisionĀ andĀ BBC Radio NewcastleĀ broadcasterĀ Kathy Secker." So easy to criticize people for having a passion when others have done the heavy lifting for you and you never actually had to accomplish anything. šŸ˜Š

  539. You made a good point about Nina Turner making a good speech. I love Tulsi Gabbard, but she is kind of uninspirational on the stump. Nina Turner really rallies the troops with fiery rhetoric. She should run in 2020. The corrupt DNC will try to rig the primary calendar by putting all the southern conservative states up front. But if Nina runs, that could throw a real wrench in that plan when she scoops up all the African-American vote down south. She is the perfect opposition to Cory Booker.

  541. any race or gender will be excited to see themselves in something that is positive and promotes strength and togetherness, and its them taking the lead role. Ben has blacks in an image that has typically been portrayed in the media, guess its upsetting to see the tables turn.

  542. What a world we live in now, where you have to apologize for having morals. And to those two heartless airheads, the U.S. just sent Israel $38 billion of OUR tax money, making Israel a major domestic issue.

  544. I love hearing Meghan McCain pretend like she knows what socialism is. People like her, who grew up in an incredibly wealthy family, and then landed a high paying career based on her fathers accomplishments, of course they would love the status quo "capitalism" that we have in this country. Even though our current system is a pure mixed economy that unfortunately has been constructed to favor the already wealthy. And I have no doubt that McCain conflates socialism with the Soviet Union. She picked the ridiculous conservative go to scare tactic of "Venezuela!"... even though no self-respecting socialist would ever point to their system as an example of what we should do.

  547. i remember seeing the shooting and thinking these arent police as i know them...i am from britain and police have intensive training for this type of situation , and the reactions of the so-called police was more of people worrying about there own safety rather than worrying about the so-called suspect. Personally seeing those "police" in the field , looked like they were inadequately trained , and certainly shot before they had ascertained the situation they were in...considering there actions and probable low pay , i would consider these law officials as militia rather than proper police with good training and the confidence that brings :(

  552. This is the best analysis of the Kavanaugh hearings I've heard thus far. Why isn't there more coverage in the media about the Republicans firing their OWN prosecutor, Ms. Mitchell??? These hearings are a perfect example of what it looks like when elitist, entitled rich kids--now grown up and a part of the oligarch establishment--get their privileged bubble bursted and are held accountable.

  558. Your analysis is actually off a bit. It's not a matter of discrimination being prohibited because the people are born that way. It's a matter of a certain type of undue discrimination being so common that the government steps in to prohibit it because it harms the victims, the economy, possibly small business owners who don't want to discriminate (but may face a big boycott from bigots if they don't discriminate), and society in general. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits discrimination in commerce and employment based upon religion, and religious beliefs aren't innate. Similarly, "race" is innate, but engaging in an "interracial" relationship is not. Yet, the statute prohibits such discrimination against interracial couples, too. And the scientific evidence suggests that sexual orientation is innate, but engaging in a same-sex relationship is not. Still, some jurisdictions prohibit such discrimination against same-sex couples. It should be prohibited at the federal level, and there's a valid legal argument that it already is (essentially, same-sex couples are covered by the prohibition against sex discrimination, just like interracial couples are covered by the prohibition against race discrimination). But the current SCOTUS would never accept that. It should be made clear by Congress, but Bernie Sanders is the only one I've heard bring it up.
    162
  559. David, once again you are spot on. For the past 40 years, I have been a faithful Democrat. When the DNC showed how easy it was to lie and cheat America from picking who they wanted to run for President, I left the party and am now an Independent. To think that Donna Brazile would have the ability to show her face in public after the DNC fiasco is stunning. Why would anyone want to donate to the DNC once the world found out that they can use the money against the will of the donors. Thanks!

  560. I was an ex-patriot living in Canada for 25 years. I literally know as an American born citizen what it is like to deal with the ugliness of for profit healthcare down here. I am back home now and Americans are being lied to non stop and they don't get it.

  566. About him being a white man, this is what Ojeda response to The Intercept . "The Democratic Partyā€™s coalition is fueled by women and an increasingly diverse base. When I asked if a white man from West Virginia could understand what was behind the Black Lives Matter movement, he argued that his experience living in and among the working class ā€” which is heavily made up of black and Hispanic people ā€” gives him insight into that struggle. ā€œI can understand it far better than the millionaires and billionaires sitting around the conference tables in Washington, D.C. Thatā€™s a fact. Guess what? Iā€™ve worked side by side with those people; Iā€™ve served in the military with the people that lived in those communities,ā€ he said. ā€œI know far more about that life than [elites in Washington] know about that life. So when someone stands up that has a bank account thatā€™s got $50 or $60 million in it, I personally could care less what they have to say about how theyā€™re gonna ā€¦ how they know what a single parent who is trying to put food on the table feels. Because they donā€™t.ā€ " An excerpt from - Richard Ojeda, West Virginia Lawmaker Who Backed Teachers Strikes, Will Run for President by Ryan Grim November 12 2018

  572. The very fact that drugs are criminalized leads to a lot of overdose deaths. People with substance abuse problems are afraid to come forward and seek proper treatment, since they don't want to be arrested and jailed. It also doesn't help that we often lack affordable mental health treatment, so many people self-medicate with drugs and alcohol.

  582. Consumers are the job creators. I hate this "job creator" bs. There wouldn't be any jobs if there weren't people who pay for the services. We're all job creators. I hire a plumber, I created a job. I go to a mechanic, I created a job. I shop at Walmart, I'm creating jobs
    154
  583. There is something unlikeabld about Dana Nessel. She chose to drop the case against the Flint City Manager, who provided citizens with tainted water and killed or made so many sick. However, she has time to pursue protesters for expressing First Amendment rights. It seems Nessel's values are out of wack.

  585. I am 65, so roughly the same generation as Biden, just a little less senile, I hope. There were lots of bad things then, but at least we felt like things were getting better. We had to change the world -- it was happening to us. That is not very different, except we had the draft. It is amazing what a motivational thing that was. I personally think things are worse now. It is discouraging to see how fast all the accomplishments of 50 years can be turned back. Joe Biden, as a corporatist, has contributed to that. He contributed to setting back women's rights in the Anita Hill business. He is a sympathetic figure and a likeable guy. I hope it takes more than that to be president. I think he is past his personal sell-by date.
    154
  586. Ocasio speaking 100% truth that a lot of people behind close doors are forced to support establishment candidates or risk there wrath it was the same with the Clintons and only now 2 years after crooked H lost are some dems coming around to talking a bit about progressive views.

  590. He says capitalism must be well-governed and is not perfect. Yet his policies didnā€™t reflect that, and Sandersā€™ does. I donā€™t see Sanders being ā€œanti-marketā€, just advocating reforms like single payer healthcare, tuition free college, getting money out of politics and the rest of it. This doesnt undermine the market economy. It strengthens it. Corbyn may be different but fundamentally Bernie is not anti-capitalist.

    152
  595. Is give her a fair chance. I would trust someone who is honest enough to say "I don't know" rather than someone who claims to know when in fact lying! She will learn more as she goes along. We never actually leave school. Life should always be a learning experience. That's what scientists do. They admit when they don't know something, then search for the answers.
    152
  596. If Cruz was SO heartbroken and devastated, about his sister's death as he tried to portray himself to be in that debate, then he should have done more to prevent overdoses; he should have stopped taking money from pharmaceuticals, urged prosecutors to indict so-called doctors for overprescribing these fatal drugs to increase their own profits, and worked to pass legislation to legalize weed. Instead, he still takes money from big pharma, has done NOTHING to combat the opioid epidemic, and will NEVER support legalizing weed; he's nothing but an opportunist, a sellout, and will use tragedies to help only himself; even his only family isn't safe from this. I feel sorry for his sister as he could have done something to prevent more overdoses, and yet he continues to do nothing; once a scumbag always a scumbag.

  599. Look...it all boils down to this: If you want individuals to change how they consume energy, you first have to start by laying down rules as to what is appropriate. If you want individuals to use solar/wind energy, then you make solar/wind energy a priority to individuals. To blame individuals for not changing before government changes is erroneous at best. "Dishonest" is the word that comes to mind. Climate change is real. It's about time that government catches up.

  600. "If we can pay for bombs, we can pay for schools." That should be the everyone default go-to answer to that annoying af how we going to pay for it argument that right winger love to use all the time. Just say, if we can pay for bombs, we can pay for schools and healthcare.

  601. "Oh my god it's Joe Manchin!!!!!!" - said no one ever.

  602. Shapiro demonstrates a measure of clueless-ness symptomatic of extreme partisan-ism . He is failing to properly contextualize the joy black people are experiencing with this movie release. I am old enough to remember the USA Olympic hockey team defeating the USSR team & going on to win the gold medal. Americans rejoiced greatly & rightfully. No one pretended the Cold War was over. But the moment was still good. Why shouldn't black people rejoice in this particular moment? Shapiro's rant is reminiscent of the push-back against black joy over Joe Louis winning the heavyweight title. One writer told blacks not to let the victory get to their heads or make them too "uppity". They are still n*****s. I hope that is not Shapiro's attitude. The one constant that EVERY African descendant who lives on this side of the globe confronts is a message that we are inherently & continually "less than..." There is always something there to remind us that we will be viewed as less virtuous, intelligent, attractive, trust-worthy, legit & sometimes less human. I am not exaggerating. Even when a black person rises to the presidency he must still validate himself. He must prove that he was born here & that his love/loyalty for America is legit. So it is a big deal when a piece of art shows our people in a positive light. And we rejoice. But we are not under any illusion that all is perfect. But haters are going to hate.
    150
  603. The parallel between the image of the white NFL owners with majority black players and the image of a pre-civil war plantation with white owners and black slaves is so disturbing to me, a middle-aged Canadian lady who doesn't even like 'american' football. The fact that these white owners and their peers are so secure in their positions that they aren't even interested in pretending not to be on the wrong side of history makes me even less interested in paying to see their product. I wish the players well, but I wish poor profits and mass boycotts on the owners.
    150
  604. This is what they have to do if they want to win. FRAME the debate, goddamnit! STOP letting right-wingers control the debate.

  607. Portuguese here: those proposals you said about teleworking, etc were made by PS (not by BE nor PCP) and the left parties agreed. What they did not agree on was about our national health system having exclusivety, meaning if you work for SNS you cannot work for a private hospital. PS was against it at the time. Also PS did not want to increase doctor's, nurse's and auxiliaries' salaries but the left block and communists did want. Also the communists wanted the minimum wage to be increased from 665 to 850 euros in 2022 but Costa said he would increase instead until 900ā‚¬ incrementally until 2026, so 705 in 2022, 755 in 2023, etc... Also in the budget there is something to start implementing a 4 day workweek first as a trial then if it goes well as official policy. And another law passed was about of you have a house in a city centre and just laying around empty to prop of prices, the municipality is now able to force you to put it on the market (to sell or rent) and to restore the house if it is run down and then put it on the market + 26000 homes for state-owned middle class affordable housing (like what Vienna is doing), as there is a huge affordable housing shortage here. But yes, the party in general will probably move a bit to the right as Costa belongs to the right leaning part of the Socialist party, whereas his probable successor (Pedro Nuno Santos) is much more left-leaning.
    149
  608. I find it so strange for these people that are trying to stick up for "real woman" by othering people, but there is nothing in there mouths about policing and how less than 10percent of sexual assault cases are ever even prosecuted. They pick on such a small minority and don't say anything else about what is really affecting a majority of woman.

  609. He seems very detached when speaking, almost like a news anchor reporting on the issue and not like a leader/prime minister.

  611. Only a non intellectual would suggest anything other than universal health care. The Corporate controlled US Political system may now be considered one of the most corrupt countries in the world.
    148
  612. I just became a Patreon, I live in Mexico, and I was born in Costa Rica, U.S. politics concern me, you provide me with very good content, so It's only fair I give back. I hope Youtube stops messing around and they get things done correctly with morals.
    148
  613. This is EXACTLY how to rig a primary. This is what people donā€™t understand. You donā€™t need to fabricate votes to rig an election, all you need to do is cater your representation of the facts against someone. Technically true while misrepresenting reality. THIS is one of the ways the 2016 primary was rigged . This is actually infuriating . Iā€™m 100% going to slam this article in a video. People need to speak up about this, as many as possible.
    147
  614. Everytime Sanders slams the democratic party he GAINS voters. Slamming the democratic party is the new anti-establishment.

  616. Sotu is freaking BS; not going to watch the BS, though I will be tuning into Bernie and Stacey's critique after the turd completes his more of the same BS.
    147
  617. Imagine being so engrained in "culture wars" that you actively go out of your way to bully a random marginalized actor that you have no personal dealings with. It's not like Elliot decided to take on a role portraying Jordan Peterson in some shitty movie. Though it would be funny to put that out on twitter like it was happening just to troll JP.
    146
  618. Left vs Right is actually, in reality Union vs Corporate. The real left doesn't exist in power. U.S. or Canada. Canada has better campaign laws that makes a noticeable difference, but the right wing is trying their best to emulate the U.S. Liberals, Conservatives, Democrats and Republicans are all right wing because they are majority corporate shills. That's why I laugh at right wingers calling identity politics a left wing thing. The left wing g is about policy, if it wasn't for identity politics, conservatives would have to call themselves corporatists, or actually vote #realleftwing...because when policy is all that is left...they lose. Wars? No Private prisons? No Corporate subsidies? No Illegal cannabis? No Criminal justice enforced/based on money? No Ignore infrastructure problems? No Cut healthcare and expand military? No MONEY OUT OF POLITICS! YES. More Naders please.
    146
  619. this is extremely disturbing.....we're being set up for an authoritarian dictatorship that has state run television
    145
  620. Time and time again, for decades, the left or even just moderates, will instantly kick-out anyone who does the slightest thing wrong/questionable, when the right literally just... don't, ever. This self-inflicted double-standard only ever hurts us! The right keep around and support known criminals, perverts, fraudsters, warcriminals etc. etc. etc. because they know that power is power no matter who has it so their own team benefits, or most often, that the media or the people at large won't even care or remember most breaking of rules/ethics/laws. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! Can we please stop! It isn't noble to cut off your own hand because it may have offended yourself/someone, when your enemy uses their whole ugly mutated body to hurt you and others, time and time again! OK, the metaphor is a mess, but y'all know what I mean lol
    145

    144
  623. I find it funny how Ben Shapiro says "how are we going to pay for this?" and doesn't apply the same question for these endless wars and tax cuts we are paying for. Ben Shapiro is a spineless little partisan hack and when he said that she was just "blabbing on" its utter projection because that is exactly what he was doing.
    144
  624. It amazes me... WHY ARE PEOPLE SO BOTHERED ABOUT WE AS A COMMUNITY EXCITED ABOUT A MOVIE??? If it's just a super hero movie WHY COMPLAIN??? THE TRUTH IS YOU ARE A RACIST YOURSELF AND ANYTHING THAT REFLECTS BLACK PEOPLE AS STRONG, BEAUTIFUL, INTELLIGENT... YOU HATE IT!!! David Thanks... Honestly, I can't take this dude seriously, like most racist he just exudes IGNORANCE. BTW... the impression was great. LOVE YOUR CHANNEL.

  627. I actually got 'tears' seeing Bernie with all the kids. (Don't tell anyone)
    143
  628. I am a 71 year old retiree and I just came across your channel. I had such a good laugh. But on a serious note, your take down of Shady Vance gives me hope and optimism and that young people across the nation will lead the way out of the Trump ditch.
    143
  629. I was screaming at the tv, "what about Bernie!!!" I don't think morning joe heard me
    143
  630. This sounds like a typical libertarian mindset.Libertarians drone on endlessly about freedom but what they are refering to is the freedom of employers to abuse employees as they see fit, be that by refusing sick/maternity leave, dismissal for any reason they see fit or by injuring or poisoning them at the workplace without fear of any consequence.While they are about it companies could pollute without consequence as apparently the "free"market will fix these problems as if by magic...

  636. Listening to rich people whine is just utterly unbearable.
    141
  637. The fact that AOC has to struggle with something like this, makes me like her more. Because it's something I too have to struggle with. I live in NYC and it's expensive as hell to live here. I can't imagine how expensive it must be to have to support TWO apartments in two major metropolitan cities.
    140
  638. How is it that being a customer somehow makes a person unable to criticize the corporation? It's supposed to be the opposite. 'The customer is always right'. If I made a purchase from a company, I should have more clout, not less. Tell these idiots at Fox they can't have it both ways. The customer is either the hero or the bum, not both at the same time.
    140
  639. Iā€™m Canadian. I pay less than half the taxes she thinks this will cost Americans and I havenā€™t paid a cent for medical care in my life. And, Iā€™ve never met a Canadian who wanted to go to the US for health care. Iā€™m a pharmacist and my patients usually comment on how thankful they are that they arenā€™t sick while living in America. On the other hand, I often have visitors from the USA shake their heads in disbelief when they see how cheap their medication is here compared to the US. America, you have a problem. Donā€™t let people like Meghan McCain convince you otherwise. Reform your taxation system to be fair and to provide value for your countryā€™s people in the form of social programs. Or else, this story wonā€™t end well for anyone.
    140
  640. Watched all 6 hours of your highly informative stream, David. Yours sincerely, a huge fan from Scotland Europe! #Bernie2020
    140
  641. So let's stand over this unbelievably dumb point by mini McCain . "Government is bad at managing tax money......... so give it to the rich in tax handouts". Who the hell is dumb enough to fall for this? . - Government is bad at managing tax money when it is run by corrupt kleptocrats who hand the money to their buddies.
    140
  642. This is just the typical Republican lack of empathy. He simply can't put himself in a black American's shoes and imagine how they might feel.
    139
  643. Nina Turner speaks the Truth! She is a strong advocate for citizens that puts her focus and energy on issues that impacts Americans MOST.
    138
  644. I really appreciate this David! I know youā€™re getting a lot of hate for some of these takes but your voice is needed in all this. My sibling just came out as Trans at 29 and itā€™s been a huge struggle. Even in the LGBTQ community Trans people are being hated and excluded. Many Trans people especially of color are being murdered and targeted and so many people are ignoring this and only fueling hate towards Trans people. Itā€™s a community that needs a lot of acceptance and respect right now. We shouldnā€™t be putting their life at risk by invalidating them
    138
  645. So he fears progressivism and socialism over... elitist corporatism, neoliberalism and neoconservatism. The free market is at the point where the income gap is so wide if it keeps up people will start getting desperate.
    138
  646. Itā€™s never over. He just radicalized and inspired a generation of younger voters to go from being arm-chair political enthusiasts to actual political activists and politicians in our communities.
    138
  647. I love how they get tough on this guy when current Governor Rick Scott has run roughshod over Florida in any number of ways including chemical dumping, drilling in the Everglades and is parking millions of $ in the Caymans. Where's the story on that?
    138
  648. Now he should do a poll asking whether he should delete his account.
    138
  649. Wow blows my mind! Trudeau said it's not right to make someone feel unsafe on campus because of their religion AND YET the Palestinian people ARE threatened and unsafe ever waking day !
    138
  650. That is exactly what I'd expect from Bernie Sanders! One of the many reasons I admire the man. I wish Levi Sanders the best, But knowing the Sanders family even if he loses the race it will only embolden him to fight harder.
    138
  651. Nina Turner is one of my favorite progressive politicians.
    137
  652. SNL boutta be swetting right now šŸ’€
    136
  653. My grandfather was part of an antifa group called the US Air Force back in WWII.
    136
  654. If Walter Whites family lived in Denmark or Norway the show Breaking Bad would've never happened . He would've never went bankrupt from medical bills due to his cancer diagnosis and he would've never resorted to cooking crystal meth and murdering folks in order to get out of debt. So I guess the worst thing about Medicare for all is no Breaking Bad .
    136
  655. Anyone who calls themselves unbiased is a liar. I don't want someone to be unbiased. I want to know what their bias is, and why.
    135
  656. If Bill keeps inviting guest that hand him his own ass to eat, I will tune in as well.
    135
  657. Yeah, how dare Bernie wear a coat he was given for Christmas by his son who bought it with his employee discount!!
    135
  658. Speaker Bercow ("Oooorder!") actually said very specifically that he had never experienced antisemitism from his Labour colleagues in Parliament, but did experience it on several occasions from his own party, the Tories.
    134
  659. I traveled down there and was up in front!
    134
  660. I was fired at the music store I taught piano lessons at, for coming out as transgender. Protections are very much needed. It's hard to even find a new job.
    134
  661. This exposes the biggest flaw in the Democrats' ridiculous strategy of moving further right to get votes. Once you go to the right, you leave leftist issues open for disingenuous hacks like Tucker Carlson and the Republicans to exploit. They can now paint you as someone who is for the rich and against the people, and claim that they are for the people. Of course they don't mean a word of it, but the Democrats' shift to the right leaves the door open for the even more corporatist Republicans to pretend they are for the people. Democratic strategists are idiots.
    133
  662. I was listening to their words and it made sense and I could feel myself melting. It was terrifying, truly.
    133
  663. The irony level of the DNC saying someone rigged an election is literally over 9000
    133
  664. If people think Trudeau is annoying, wait until they get a taste of Poilievre!
    133
  665. "He's not making the wave, he's surfing it." Bravo, Chappelle!
    132
  666. If her platform is radical, why did her constituents vote her in?
    132
  667. Wow. This has to be one of my favorite videos youā€™ve done, and thatā€™s really saying something. That Barbara Lee clip really resonated with me when looking back in hindsight at everything that has happened since she gave that speech. Such wisdom....I would support a her candidacy in a heartbeat. Fantastic job David! šŸ‘
    132
  668. Ben Shapiro is one of those dudes that has to say anything to keep his audience afloat, so he says meaningless sh*t like this.
    131
  669. As a young gay kid I always loved Marvel comics. I especially loved X-men and felt like I had a lot in common with them. When I read the first ever gay marriage in comics in X-men I thought it was great and that LGBT youth are growing up seeing that they can be equal to and stronger then some of the mainstream straight heroes . Yes, some people in our society feel uplifted with comic book characters that we can relate to especially when a storyline brings often disenfranchised groups to the mainstream.
    131
  670. The Clintons are such a cancer to the democrats.
    131
  671. The irony of "Donald Trump is a unique danger" is that it is NOT a "leftist" argument. That is literally the attempt of moderates to whitewash conservatism. The FIRST TIME Trump did something "uniquely dangerous" was during the Covid crisis, threatening to use the military as a police force and the incident outside the Whitehouse where a peaceful protest was dispersed for his photo op. And even THAT is arguable, because PLENTY of Republicans would LOVE to do the same. Trump isn't special. He's just more transparent. He IS US conservatism. Suggesting anything else is absolving them of their DECADES of misdeeds.
    131
  672. I was so excited when the news came in last night. Andrew Gillum is exactly what my state needs. We have too many private prisons, too many uninsured people who are suffering purely because Rick Scott is a piece of shit and far too many underemployed people. Andrew Gillum will fight for us. I can't believe my state did something right for once! Now we just have to do it again in November.
    131
  673. Doctors who care more about their patients and the national healthcare system ... what a concept!
    131
  674. I'm no expert on trans issues, but how much do you really need to know to understand that these decisions should be made by doctors, patients, and legal guardians, not politicians?
    130
  675. Listening to you tear apart Megan's stupidity is as good as Hasan vs Tomi! Keep it up!
    130
  676. Bernie's gonna sing Bodak Yellow on the Senate floor šŸ˜‚
    130
  677. You have a new Patreon supporter. Keep up the great work
    130
  678. This has been one of the best commentaries I've seen on this subject. Thank you. (Really sorry I can't send money) This was so clear and intelligent and I've been following this for years. Thank you so much.
    130
  679. To think these guys get paid to say such abhorrent things. Meanwhile here you and many others are getting demonized by giving an empathic discussion on people getting killed. Is this really the world we want to live in?
    130
  680. I donated to Ed Markey once I saw Pelosi endorse Kennedy. Shoot, here I proudly go again donating to Ed Markey. Screw you establishment. We progressives fight back and we are taking back the party. šŸ’Æ
    129
  681. Conservatives who truly believe in this nonsense are clueless. Even European conservatives expect to have better healthcare than what we have.
    129
  682. She sounds like a radical feminist or a Dem loyalist (or both) who is angry that Bernie dared to challenge Hillary and blames him for "robbing" her of a female President. I know plenty of people like that.
    129
  683. Anyone that can make a Canadian almost get angry, has to be a very bad person.
    128
  684. I could only watch a little bit of the debate too, Cruz was so insufferable. "Smearing Justice Kavanaugh and his family." Who said anything about his family at all? I clocked out sometime after that. O'Rourke is great, he's too nice. He didn't call out his lies nearly enough and he totally bungled the 'how to pay for it' nonsense. Come on.
    128
  685. Just more proof that anyone using the word 'woke' pejoratively is not a smart person to be taken seriously.
    128
  686. By the looks of the comments below, Right wingers are super threatened by AOC šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚
    127
  687. Wages have decreased under trump. All that spending on huge tax cuts, that will threaten what little affordable healthcare we have, social security, Medicare etc... has not helped the workers.
    127
  688. ZERO tolerance for racists. Its everyone's responsibility to fight against racism.
    127
  689. Its almost like if they actually listened they could hear our ways to pay for these things
    127
  690. Was just talking about the pro act to my dad. Heā€™s a centrist dem and was like ā€œwhy donā€™t I know about the pro actā€ and I immediately said BECAUSE YOU WATCH MAINSTREAM MEDIA
    127
  691. What is shown in the video is already better than the American healthcare system. In America, they don't/can't even tell you what the costs will be until after a procedure and there are no standards or cost controls whatsoever.
    127
  692. Unproven chemical attacker = let's bomb Syria. Videos of israel sniper firing protesters = nothing to see here
    127
  693. bill maher is disgusting. Used to think he was cool. Jesus.
    127
  694. Not many of those promoting the Brexit mess proved to be ready to do any of the work after the huffing and puffing was done. What a joke of a movement.
    126
  695. I really tried to give Dave Rubin a chance because I support talking to those with extreme political views as he does, but I also eventually came to the conclusion that he is a fraud. His outrage is just a little bit too selective in favor of what his financial backers want to hear. And his libertarian arguments on Joe Rogan's show were so poorly constructed that he revealed himself to be a very shallow thinker.
    126
  696. Classic right-wing tactic--pivot to talking about Hamas.
    126
  697. The people love Bernie because Bernie loves the people. Iā€™ll say it again; Bernie would have won.
    126
  698. The last question Cenk asked is important and goes to the crux of opposition to Medicare for all, that is, politicians know that if it's introduced, like Social Security it will become the third rail of politics in trying to remove it. Popular programs are hard to remove once they benefit everyone.
    126
  699. I'm 40+ Id be the same way. LOL
    125
  700. Never liked Max or his commentary. Mind changed, I'm a fan now!
    124
  701. This old white woman is so fed up with old white men like this one. One reason is the tiresome bashing of millenials. I was around in 1968, too. It's tougher now, much tougher for young people, as your reporting illustrates. Biden is an old curmudgeon who needs to retire and go home.
    124
  702. Joy Ann Reid is being intellectually dishonest! All Hillary Clinton needed was a larger Black voter turnout & she would've won. There were 450K Black men who didn't vote in MI, WI, FL. They stayed home, because of her husband's 94 crime bill that lead to the explosion of the private prison system. Plus they didn't forget that she called them "Super Predators"....
    123
  703. Michigan Resident here. I was originally going to vote Williamson in the primary as a vote of conscious, but I'm definitely going to vote Uncommitted instead. I love Williamson, but she doesn't have a chance, and voting for her won't have any effect. Voting uncommitted as a block will at least get to behave as a message. Now, there's a good chance nobody listens to the message, but at least it'll be there. I will likely still vote Biden in the general against Trump if it comes down to that, but I stand by the Arab Americans in our state. Their disgust is warranted, and if they choose to not vote Biden in the general, I totally get it. If Biden loses Michigan, it'll be on Biden's administration, not on Michigan voters.
    123
  704. Had Obama made a left-hand turn in 2008 we'd still be in control of the White House and Capitol Hill today. Obama was elected president because he said he was going to make that left turn.
    123
  705. Thank you for watching msnbc so we dont have to
    123
  706. The question was wrong - it should have been: "If YOU have the most delegates should you be the nominee?". The answers from everyone except Sanders was APPALLING! I have a Facebook group - Berners heading to Milwaukee for Dem National Convention - to discuss our strategies if they try to steal OUR nomination. It's gross they are even thinking about stealing our nomination - the end of the (un)Democratic party!
    123
  707. But trump comparing himself to Jesus is not sacrilegious at all. And trump selling bibles with sticky pages for 60 dollars to pay for his legal bills is not mocking religion?
    123
  708. I'm Autistic and it really hit hard to hear they are targeting other Autistics online. I know how it feels to not belong, but I was lucky to find the Neurodiversity movement and that helped a lot. Some of them unfortunately also become Aspie Supremacist who think Autistics are superior or what they call "high functioning" ones and throw other Autistics under the bus. Hopefully one day the neurodiversity movement will be large enough that Autistics and other neurological minorities won't be vulnerable to such things. Here is more info on the neurodiversity paradigm if anyone is interested. http://neurocosmopolitanism.com/throw-away-the-masters-tools-liberating-ourselves-from-the-pathology-paradigm/ If you want to understand it's a good place to start.
    123
  709. The biggest threat to corporate media's dominance are voices of reason and authenticity like yours
    123
  710. I finally believe we are evolving! I'm 72 and I've been advocating for this since college. Never been busted but it's always been a stupid attitude! Toke.
    123
  711. Just donated to Bernie's campaign. I'm already a monthly donor but just because of this I donated an extra $27
    123
  712. Joe Biden is full of crap. He was in a position of power and took money from big business. His generation had jobs that gave them a living wage unlike today. He supported the TPP which would had taken away jobs. Joe Biden is on the side of the rich. Joe Biden, no you don't get a break. He had a chance to help things out, but he is part of the problem.
    122
  713. "So I'm just taken by the absurdity of asking Hilary Clinton how to form a winning strategy." Savage! LMAO!
    122
  714. To be honest David, we Brits have no idea either how he has a show, other than he's an establishment hack who throws his vapid disgusting weight around to get what he wants. We kinda hoped when he went to the US he'd just stay there and finally leave us alone.
    122
  715. I recently had hernia surgery that was critical to my health and living, my job does not provide health care for me and because of Obamacare, I was able to gain insurance through my parents but I still had to pay thousands of dollars out of pocket to cover co-pays and deductable, if I didn't have insurance, it would have either cost me $20,000 or my life possibly
    122
  716. Billionaires don't work harder than anyone else. They're usually just positioned better. If hard work equaled wealth, there would be TONS of wealthy people. Sick of their using this point to rationalize their outsized monetary rewards.
    122
  717. Yeah, I'm in Iowa. There's a definite support and love for Bernie here. I know a lot of hardcore Republicans that said they would have considered voting for him if he'd won the nomination - the same ppl who'd never consider voting for Hillary because they hate her so much. I worked on the Iowa Democratic Party's platform committee this year. We pushed and pushed to get progressive policies through to the state level (I can't believe we actually got the "oppose genital mutilation" plank through at the state convention - previously, we could only get FGM through). It's sad to hear Tammy say that. I liked her. But I also prickle at the idea that someone from IL thinks they know what we want on this side of the Mississippi. She doesn't live here. She doesn't know us. Alexandria gets it. I can't believe I'm siding with someone from NYC over someone from IL... Then again, IL has their own streak of holier-than-thou, "we know better than the smallfolk" patronizing tone at times.
    122
  718. We need more Dylans and less Schumers
    122
  719. We know why these videos are demonitized. Advertisers don not agree with Sander's platform. Keep up the good work and I support you on Patreon.
    121
  720. Joy is paid so well to be wrong on purpose it's sad
    121
  721. America is the upside down backwards world. Everything said on the media is the opposite. If they say it's identity politics it's people not liking her policies. When we are fighting terrorists we are supporting them. When the Russians are blamed it's hiding the fact we are doing it. We overthrow democratically elected governments for democracy and then install a dictator. We destabilise whole regions to exploit them then say we are working towards peace. It's gross to watch.
    121
  722. 1,100 Seats Lost Under Neoliberals Is A failure
    121
  723. Bravo!! So proud that these brave pastors were willing to speak out and remind Sessions how far off he is from being an actual Christian, let alone a Methodist. Well done! Thanks for covering this, David.
    120
  724. Every time I see something like this about Tulsi, I think ā€œKasparian was correct.ā€
    120
  725. David it's also important to point out that Warren was with the vast majority of democrats to just vote in favor of the bloated 700 billion dollar military budget... not a progressive stance
    119
  726. "bromeopathy" isn't a woke sounding millennial construct AT ALL
    119
  727. That Ben Shapiro impression was on point lmao
    119
  728. Rogan hates the guy who legalized weed nationally in Canada but is endorsing De Santis for President who still thinks weed should be an illegal substance like heroin or cocaine. Meanwhile Rogan is smoking a joint with Elon Musk on his show.
    119
  729. This is a cult. You can not tell a cult member they are in a cult and expect them to believe you. They have been conditioned for 30 straight years by Rush Limbaugh and co on hate talk radio. They've been conditioned for over 20 years by fox news. They're gone
    119
  730. As soon as he dropped out, my first thought was that he should challenge Capito. So glad someone said it, I was afraid I was going to have to start my own YouTube channel to give this point traction. So glad I donā€™t have to anymore! Lol
    119
  731. They are free to pay lip service to Bobby Kennedy because he's dead. Same with MLK and many others (however seldom and sanitized that lip service comes in).
    118
  732. Is it radical to fight Nazism? That would make my grandfather a radical for sure. He was a vet in WWII, As antifa as it gets
    118
  733. I love how FOX constantly brags about being the ā€œnumber 1 news network on tvā€ and yet also acts like they arenā€™t the mainstream media.
    118
  734. If Walmart is this bastion of progressivism then wouldn't they be super anti-Trump? They'd also be huge Bernie supporters and would openly support a $15 minimum wage, paid sick leave and paid maternity leave. And yet... they don't. WEIRD.
    118
  735. holy shit ur ben shapiro voice that hit me right in the kisser lmao
    117
  736. I am very impressed with your empathy and analysis of this issue, consistently. Thank you for your work.
    117
  737. Lol Jimmy Dore looks like a clown now for saying Cori Bushā€™s protest was ā€œperformativeā€
    117
  738. Wow I was literally just having a debate about this in one of my classes because we are taught that ā€œglobalism is good.ā€ I was explaining to them that this rush to globalism is eliminating the ability for smaller domestic starter-companies to compete and resulting in a worldwide corporate oligopoly that is leading to a global ruling class (oligarchy) affecting the way we are all governed. Bernie Sanders just won me over tenfold. Great video David. šŸ‘
    117
  739. Hey man I've been following your work for a year or more and this one is among (or maybe is) your best work. I'd love to see some more of it.
    117
  740. Just to remind you guys in the comments section, there is a new wave of Democratic candidates who have pledged not to take corporate "gifts." They're called Justice Democrats and they give me hope that the party might actually start following through on promises if we elect them. I mean, why aren't they following through as it stands? The "gifts" (i.e. bribes) might have something to do with it, right?
    117
  741. As a Canadian, and someone who's lived in different countries in the world, the only way for a universal system to work is if rich and poor, 100% of the population pays into the system through their taxes. What ends up happening is that 100% of the entire population is therefor covered with no exceptions, no one gets left behind and the system remains properly funded. The strong protect the weak, the rich protect the poor, the nation improves.
    116
  742. Non-Canadian sports fans are being introduced to a Sid Seixero classic rant šŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­
    115
  743. When I was going through training with the campaign, they were so explicit about not even mentioning other candidates when making our case. This story is nuts
    115
  744. David hit it out of the park on this one. Great analysis, great arguments. He was on top of it today. Meghan McCain spot out the tired talking points about Venezuela and ā€œother peopleā€™s moneyā€ (about as cliche as it gets). Sheā€™s an apologist for corporatism. Joy Behar did surprisingly well! She encouraged people to focus on the policies, not labels and words. Iā€™ve always said when people do that, the scary connotations surrounding the word will fade away and talking points like McCainā€™s will be widely ridiculed. ā€œOther peopleā€™s moneyā€? Thatā€™s not an economic argument. Itā€™s a philosophical argument. The economic fact is that we can afford to provide a decent standard of living in this country. The wealth exists, itā€™s just that the rich and powerful like McCain and her buddies will the ones providing the bulk of it. Right now, the wealth is being funneled, naturally and artificially, to the top. We can narrow the wealth gap and provide a decent standard of living at the same time, and the plausibility of that proposal frightens the crap out of corporatists like McCain. Good for Joy for avoiding semantic games and making kick-ass arguments.
    115
  745. Cardi B is not only educated about politics - which makes her great but also she keeps it incredibly REAL. No PG fake stuff.

  749. Roseanne just blew her comeback over a horrible joke... Did she really think that joke would go over well?
    113
  750. Joe Biden knows what it means, thereā€™s no way he canā€™t. It just been so long since weā€™ve had a President to remain calm and poise and professional that we must think heā€™s too stupid to get the reference. No, heā€™s just acting how the President is supposed to act when faced with critics.
    112
  751. Beto did fund raise by having $2700.00 a plate dinners with the C.E.O.'s of big pharma and oil as a way 2 get around not taking PAC. money. Nera is afraid if more dems. like AOC get in she won't get her cut of donor money.
    112
  752. Too bad fox has no standards and keeps Carlson as a host.
    111
  753. That 'Bernie 2020 died' thing at the end just made it incredibly obvious what they were trying to do. The majority of Bernie's support is from minorities, & that's going to be a huge strength for him in a presidential race. They need to make Bernie into that 'Bernie Bro' caricature that the Clinton campaign smeared him with, & what better way to imply that he's 'racist' than to say he's 'disrespecting the first black president on the anniversary of the assassination of MLK Jr? It's just gross. They also seem to forget that we're the generation (Millenials) of instant fact-checking. They're idiots.
    111
  754. Why isnā€™t Kavanaugh himself pushing for an FBI investigation? If I were accused of this and know Iā€™m innocent, Iā€™d WANT an investigation to clear my name.

  755. "privatize the profits, and socialize the losses!" - this message was approved by Billionaires Inc.

  760. Here is a thought, would a college let a flat Earther give a speaking lecture on campus? The answer is no because it lacks any social or academic value. So why should those same universities be expected to give special treatment to extremists and racists.
    110
  761. Why the hell don't you have more subscribers. You're on Kyle's level dude.
    110
  762. The fighting for your rights continues. If you get tired of it elect a socialist to fight for you.
    110
  763. Yes agreed, we can't blame the terrorism on right-wing pundits. But we can hold them accountable for pushing racist and prejudice ideologies which helps lead these mentality deranged people into becoming terrorists.
    110
  764. Amazing what happens when someone stands with the people
    110
  765. The right wing privilege is that very little standards are expected of you while the left are scrutinized for every single little detail of their life.
    109
  766. Your voice sounds better; I hope you're feeling better.
    109
  767. Well.. let's respect Seth Meyers for confronting an aggressive person like McCain, even though he's being paid to make essentially a feel good show. It's not as easy as it seems. Kudos to him to stand up for the great Ilhan Omar.
    109
  768. Bernie Sanders is a man of integrity. No one can argue with that, no matter how much they would like to. Additionally, Bernie understands how quickly the establishment opposition would jump all over him and his son, should he endorse Levi. #StillSanders #GoLevi
    109
  769. I really hate the whatabout argument. Itā€™s just a way to deflect the conversation. Itā€™s never relevant.
    109
  770. That's a great point about small businesses not having to worry about providing health benefits to employees under Medicare for all, that needs to taken to the forefront of this "debate"
    109
  771. Max nailed it with that commentary!
    108
  772. I live in Ontario. Ten years ago I was dealing with late stage liver cirrhosis brought on by Hep C. Over the next three years I would go through three various treatments. The first two failed but the third one worked and I was cured. Over the next two years my liver was able to heal itself. I am now 57 and I live a normal and productive life. Each treatment was valued around $80,000 and it was all covered. If we had privatized healthcare then, I would be dead today, my wife would be a widow and my son fatherless. I've been screaming from the rooftops ever since Doug Ford became Premier that one of their top priorities was to privatize healthcare and all my friends thought I was being alarmist. I don't think they feel that as much today.
    108
  773. Iā€™m so happy you watch these idiotic programs so I donā€™t need to. Thanks for you spot on commentary!
    108
  774. JD massively dropped the ball. So massively that I can't help but suspect a malicious coup, because I still want to believe that the original setup of JD was good, with good people. Somehow they got corrupted, but I'm unclear who, how, when, etc.
    108
  775. "Absolutely. I've been at this a long time." Hilarious delivery! He's just so relaxed and matter-of-fact about his corruption. It's the sort of overconfidence that can only come from tipping the scales with absolute impunity for several decades.
    108
  776. Of course he is. This man does not give a shit about working people the average bloke. Look how he treats his workers and how much he is against unions also republicans give this weasel tax cuts. Letā€™s not forget risking the Thai kids lives for the sake of a publicity stunt.
    108
  777. What an absolute joke. It's not even cherry picking what he said, it's just lying about what he said. I can't wait until real progressives take over the party and these fraudulent pundits get exposed for the mainstream shills that they are.
    108
  778. Well that's what happens when you don't actually vote on policy but take part in tribalism politics. Anyone who says they liked the platform he ran on is a liar. He had none.
    108
  779. If these stones have survived thousands of years' worth of bird shit, I think they can withstand a little cornstarch...
    108
  780. Always love to be on with David!!
    108
  781. I'm confused by the concept of taking advice from the people who lose their elections. I know that things are far from perfect here in Canada, but I seldom see a lot of domestic media rushing to interview the people who don't get votes in their ridings, unless it's to ask them what they, themselves, could have done differently. Ms McCaskill comes across to me as being a whiner and embarrassingly similar in tone to a resentful 'mean girl' of junior high school level. No wonder she lost.
    107
  782. "Libertarian" "Think" pick one
    107
  783. I have to say....being 53 yo...and remembering as a child hearing about the coup against President Salvador Allende by Augusto Pinochet. Learning the depths of tragedy years alter in College. Not ashamed to say, I cried a little. As Allende said, long ago.....Viva Chile! Viva el pueblo! Vivan los trabajadores!
    107
  784. I love your program. It really shows the faults of corporate media.
    107
  785. Thank you for covering this David. I'm from Argentina and it's an awful day here. Stay safe everyone.
    107
  786. This whole interview was great! Thanks for having me again!
    107
  787. I used to be a Doreknob until 2020. It's always embarrassing to admit, but I'm glad that at least now I can recognize why him & his orbiters are just a pipeline to the alt right. The day he brought that Boogaloo boy into his show and was like "see? This guy's actually progressive! We need to work with these guys!" Was the day unsubbed from him.
    106
  788. The ā€œnews actorā€ remark made me giggle. And then came ā€œfarting in the wind.ā€ I canā€™t šŸ˜‚
    106
  789. Lee Carter makes a very good point here. The police are already using draconian measures on the left, so the slippery slope argument holds little water.
    106
  790. Pressure must be mounted by massive protests.....don't let the system allow for a "cooling off" period and then as usual its onto the next news story. They do this deliberately. It's time to stop dying and fight back....all of us together.
    106
  791. Most human thing he's ever done lol
    106
  792. These guys won't stop until the peasants grab their pitchforks and storm the castle
    106
  793. Great reporting from Lee Fang and The Intercept. The animation is great too. It was hilarious to see how their faces were animated.
    106
  794. I am just blown away by how little self awareness these people have, I just can't fathom how these people don't understand how insane they look and sound.
    106
  795. David, you give me hope on humanity! Thank you man. Kip the good work.
    105
  796. The whole world needs to follow the example set by the Quebec doctors and realize the 'me me me' attitude that is so pervasive in modern society is so destructive. Well done docs.
    105
  797. She did hang both Trumpā€™s and Penceā€™s pictures, so this is another lie.
    105
  798. Since when was protesting someoneā€™s ideas ā€œagainst free speechā€? Isnā€™t protesting ideas the basics of free speech? Plus more than 70% political violence is committed by EXTREMIST CONSERVATIVES!! Thatā€™s the majority of the violence whilst 3% is commuted by left wing extremists. These are the facts but they are ignored
    105
  799. Notice the slight-of-mouth, Tapper says "save the US govt.". No-one said that except Tapper.
    105
  800. Jeremy Corbyn is the most rational leader out there. Imagine him being elected leader and giving it to Trump while the rest are walking on eggshells. I would die happy.
    104
  801. Pretty sure Coumo has no chance against Nixon after this.
    104
  802. I'm from the UK and yes the NHS some times have long waiting list for some operations .but we don't let People with diabetes die from not being able to pay for the medication .we get it for free.we give people with cancer free treatment we actually care for our sick instead of pricing them out of living.
    104
  803. This is why I love your analysis. The compare & contrast and exposing the double standard is spot on. You'll never get this kind of examination in corporate media new, ever.
    104
  804. Kudos David since that was an excellent break down of what happened and I couldnā€™t agree with you more. So glad I subscribed to your show since Iā€™m digging it more with every video I watch.
    104
  805. Uggghhhh, I hate how Americans have dumbed down the term "Freedom of Speech" / "Free Speech". Free Speech specifically refers to being critical of the government without persecution or being silenced. The free speech warriors always think it's the freedom to say anything you want with zero repercussions. You've been able to do that for generations! What the hell, hearing Elon's response was like hearing a five year old learning about it for the first time.
    104
  806. We need to make sure these kids register once they turn 18.
    103
  807. In the US you can inherit public office from your parents??? WTF Is this the dark ages?
    103
  808. Anyone standing up to hate and discrimination are always heroes in my eyes šŸ‘ŠāœŠāœŒ Make racist afraid again!
    103
  809. According to the US socio-economic system as I understand it: a) D Hogg is entitled to ask for a boycott. b) Consumers are entitled to reject the goods and services of Laura I's sponsors. c) Advertisers are entitled to stop sponsorship based on their fears. Beyond my simplistic assessment, I haven't lost sight of Bill M's propensity to care about issues that matter to him, but not become animated when a problem falls on others. His willingness to settle for intense neoliberalism, manifested as his strong and continuing aggressive support for Hillary, is probably because he is very rich. In the present discussion, he opposes boycotts because they have hurt him in the past. I doubt that he could be persuaded to reject neoliberalism and Hillary just because both victimize other people.
    103
  810. The end was honestly the most savage shit Iā€™ve ever seen.
    103
  811. ā€œIn one word what would you we want to be known for?ā€ ā€œ....Compassion.ā€ That makes me tear up every time I hear it. It embodies what makes Bernie Sanders who he is. It embodies the core of the revolution he has started, a revolution rooted in compassion.
    103
  812. "How are you going to pay for that?" I dunno, lady. Maybe the same way we pay for the bloated military budget. šŸ¤”
    103
  813. Bernie would've won!
    103
  814. Sarah won overwhelmingly in our riding and support for her honest framing of the situation is also overwhelmingly supported. We're proud that we voted for this brave and honest person.
    103
  815. He's turned into such a Facebook mom
    103
  816. That's a good point, David, about the interpretation behind the Biden approval numbers.
    103
  817. The Midwest might be socially centrist or conservative but economically this entire country is left
    102
  818. Wait... which one was the dog?
    102
  819. Were Tucker and Rubin this outraged and outspoken when Trump literally incited his supporters to beat up protesters at rallies? Where they outspoken against trumps attacks on the media, nfl players and others for merely exercising their right to free speech? Of course not because they are nothing but hacks.
    102
  820. People who buy into this argument that Tucker makes will only be satisfied if people who advocate for climate change policies go out into the wilderness and live the rest of their lives in carbon neutral communities or better shoot themselves. Anything less and you're a hypocrite because virtually every aspect of modern civilisation rely on a heavy carbon footprint.
    102
  821. I will say this about QE II: she was an important historical figure, so she is worthy of some news coverage, but you are right in saying it is unbalanced coverage loaded with a lot of nostalgia. Her death does represent the end of an era, an era that needs to be done and over. With Charles as king, the monarchy won't have the same appeal and will fade into oblivion. See all the backlash they are already getting from Caribbean countries on colonialism. It won't last.
    102
  822. Iā€™ve been waiting for someone to cover this. I couldnā€™t believe it. I watched the whole speech. The things that people were saying he said on Twitter were so wild and completely misrepresented everything he said. CNN is pathetic.
    102
  823. One of the most underrated YouTuber on this platform
    102
  824. A left-side separatist is how you describe Nina Turner. Are you kidding me? Democrats have nowadays become moderate Republicans. Even Barack Obama describe himself as a moderate Republican. Which means we have not had a real liberal or left-leaning president since Jimmy Carter or before. These people literally I mean almost literally made me sick. Thank you Jake Tapper for what you did. Keep going Nina Turner, rock same with Bernie.
    102
  825. The erasure of black women leftists is so apparent. There are moments when identity politics are important, for example, Kamala Harris' attack on sex workers, her seeking to block gender reassignment, her caring more about prison labor than the disproportionate amount of black people suffering because of it. Someone, not supporting her and critiquing her doesn't automatically make them a sexist and a racist, especially when most of us are out here supporting Nina Turner...
    102
  826. I'm pretty numb to this... But what that last dad said about Cody who's going to miss out on meeting his little sister... I was bawling and I'm going to hug my family a little tighter tonight.
    101
  827. I agree, BOYCOTT IT!
    101
  828. So, a foreign government shoots a Canadian citizen, and the Cons don't even want to look into it? Canadian voters take note.
    101
  829. Canadians think what happens in the U.S. doesn't affect us? One example : gutting the EPA- think their pollution won't cross the border?
    101
  830. The irony is that if they didn't tip the scales at all in the primary, whoever wins directly translated into their ability to win a general because we the people decide that race. So we the people should decide who the primary winner is.
    101
  831. The revolution wont be televised.
    101
  832. It's not just Andrew Scheer, it's all those idiots nodding along like bobbleheads, and then standing up to applaud his statements.
    101
  833. You are one of the best progressive YouTubers out there glad you cover the issues that matter.
    100
  834. Third Way Centrist Clinton style Dems are collapsing nobody wants them!

  835. hopefully! šŸ™ "I went to medical school to learn how to heal, but then I realized it was our politics that made people sick in the first place." - Abdul El-Sayed I love this quote.
    100
  836. Interesting that everyone was quiet for the white protestor, but loudly booed and heckled the black one ... hmm
    100
  837. WTF? Someone should tell Elon that a REAL Socialist company wouldn't have a Board of Directors; but would, instead, ensure that each employee is a co-owner of the company.
    100
  838. I do love how the Gotham group (that severed ties with him after this) pretended like he hasn't worked for them in a long time, by tweeting"he hasn't contributed in years" when a press release from last year showed he worked there. So either they were lying, or saying that he contributed nothing while working there. šŸ˜‚ lazy pos
    100
  839. When the Conservatives had power they blocked the free speech of : Postal worker unions Government Scientists The CBC Air Canada pilots Teachers unions Students environmentalists anti war protesters. So who's free speech are they fighting for? Answer: Fascists
    100
  840. If we canā€™t get our progressive ideas through the federal government then we shall do it through the state
    100
  841. Outrageous! This is an InsurrERECTION!
    100
  842. Where did this msnbc go ? When he goes off about congress being bought I got chills! This guy is speaking truth to power Love it
    100
  843. Considering Ben Shapiro made a video denouncing most Muslims on earth as extremists, this is not surprising in the slightest.
    100
  844. 4:53 "...where you prioritize the profits of health insurance companies over the people" This is the problem with capitalism as a whole tho. This system prioritizes profits above all else. Literally, all else. Cant address climate change because the profits of the fossil fuel industry is a higher priority. Cant stop the wars because the profits of the arms industry is a higher priority. Cant raise the minimum wage because that'll slow profits.

  845. Love your Jordan Peterson impression, makes it sound like his testicles failed to descend during puberty.

  846. He doesnā€™t have any understanding of how universal healthcare works. Itā€™s time America get on board with the rest of the world... also looking really good as per usual

  847. As a Scot with free health care & further education I can't believe the US system tbqh.
    99
  848. So majority of us younger folks are going to be of age this year to vote. If he is there a HUGEE majority of us will be voting to him. But if he's not and we get some bs like last election then majority probably won't vote ot vote green. This is who we want and he's who we need.
    99
  849. The DNC in general is a threat to freedom, especially if you are a progressive.
    99
  850. Funny... they fired Briahna Joy Gray for being calm and collected, but the let Robbie keep his job when he had totally unprofessional, childish, freak out when he got challanged.
    99
  851. When right wingers complain about Free Speech in their mind what they actually mean is gaining access to any and all platforms to push their rhetoric widely to as many people as possible uninterrupted. For example look back to when Bill Maher invited Milo onto his show. In Bill's mind he thinks, "I'm being fair and principled by allowing opposing views on my show. People will appreciate that!" But in Milo's mind he thinks, "You SUCKER! I win! Now everyone will hear my message nationally!" Why do you think they call us Libtards? It's not just a childish insult and it has real meaning behind it. They exploit our obsession with fairness and principles in order to gain power and dominance. Then when they gain enough power they will turn around and crush all opposition...including you. There was a poll recently that 43% of Republicans are in favor of Trump having the ability to shut down media he disagrees with. Get it through your thick skull that you're not dealing with honest actors.
    99
  852. You got it brother. I watched Bernie Sanders town hall he did last month in Washington with a panel of Cdn. Norway doctors and there was no debate. Bernie gets it...Trump is an unbelievable liar.
    99
  853. Thank you David for breaking this down. I myself could not find why the msm was so outraged.
    99
  854. Hillary Clinton lost the Rust Belt. Obama won it, Hillary didnā€™t. It isnā€™t as black and white as Hillary wants it to be. There are plenty of racists out there that voted for Trump but economic populism did play a role
    99
  855. David is 100% correct about each and every one of us getting Bernie those actual votes. I've gotten nearly 10 of my family and extended family to Feel the Bern. Now I've helped registered them all to vote as well. #itsberningupinCA
    98
  856. This is why we need Corbyn. And this is why we need Doel and his shirts.
    98
  857. Classic fascism: cultivate the opinion that empathy is weakness - because empathy negates fascism - since empathy prevents the dehumanization upon which fascism depends for its cultural, ethnic or religious scapegoating and 'divide and conquer' tactics.
    98
  858. Land of the Free?? Yeah right. Trump is willing to change the constitution for Birthright Citizenship by executive order but won't change it for gun control?? What a morally bankrupt so called leader.
    97
  859. ā€œTheyā€™re innately scared of the other.ā€ This is actually true. Right-wingers have much larger amygdalae than normal people, which makes right-wingers far more fearful and paranoid than normal people.
    97
  860. That conservative Danish person completely SHUT DOWN Ted. simply beautiful
    97
  861. Rubin is one of the dumbest political people on youtube, he can't even explain his own beliefs properly.
    97
  862. Ben Shapiro is a right wing snowflake SJW.
    97
  863. I hate how these politicians think that the rest of us canā€™t understand basic morality and decency.
    96
  864. This woman is an inspiration. Thanks for shining a light on her. She helps us all to be more bold.
    96
  865. Hey David! Guess where I live? That's right, Wichita baby! I'm going to be in line early to see Bernie. I am a huge Progressive and one of your biggest fans. I have been saying it for years, Kansas has a progressive streak that just needs to be cultivated. I'm so excited to see Bernie & Ocasio-Cortez. Just wanted to say thank you for the positive encouragement of a true progressive 50 state strategy.
    96
  866. The funny thing is, Philip Hammond (Chancellor of the Exchequer) actually admitted not long ago that austery doesn't work. He basically admitted that they've been causing misery and death (Yes, death. Thousands of people with disabilites have fucking DIED because of cuts to the welfare state. To the point the Tories were being investigated over it. idk if anything ever came of it) and it was all completely unnecesary. We could have avoided all of that and invested instead. This isn't even capitalism anymore. It's corporate fuedalism.
    96
  867. Joy Reid hates Bernie and his supporters thats fact
    95
  868. I voted for Paulette Jordan, she will be the next governor of Idaho.
    95
  869. That's how democrats lost 1000 seats during the Obama administration. It's a losing proposition.
    95
  870. The American public is waking up, slowly but surely thanks to Canada-people like David Doel.
    95
  871. Ben "ItalkreallyfasttofoolidiotsintothinkingI'msmart" Shapiro.
    95
  872. I love with Bernie is strong and goes on the attack. He didn't do it nearly enough against Hillary during the primaries. If he runs again, THIS is the Bernie that has to show up at the debates.
    95
  873. What a seriously sad title. Sad that it's true. Sad empathy and compassion tend to be entirely excluded from this issue by many.
    95
  874. The opposite of group rights is the group denial of rights, which results in things like slavery and segregation and the lack of voting rights for women and the lack of the right to marry for gay people. So when they chose to deny people rights in groups, people decided they wanted rights as groups. It's that simple. Apparently Dr. Jordan Peterson with his Harvard Education is having trouble grasping it though. I'm going to guess it might have something to do with his never having been part of a group that was denied rights.

  875. Only through collective, international action can we protect Net Neutrality. Let us unite in all nations and protect the only tool of democracy that remains!

  876. people don't realize that Cardi has actually gone to college, she's not an idiot at all. If you listen to what she's saying and not the rap persona she's quite informed a number of issues. She's a prime example of how people write you off because you may not have had a "respectable" job or past
    94
  877. My boyfriend just had detached retina surgery. Pays a premium every paycheck but since the deductible is 5k he never uses it. I guess 5k is the max out of pocket expense because of the ACA? Anyway, out of 17k we get to pay the 5k. What a nightmare. I think Iā€™m supposed to be happy we arenā€™t on the hook for all of it? šŸ¤£

  878. "Shut the f*ck up, don't say anything" - Doug Ford: 'For the people'! - I am astounded by your restraint, David. Thank you for all your amazing coverage.
    94
  879. Good work again David ! I find Dave Rubin frustrating for all the reasons you have given. Particularly not giving Chelsea Manning airtime. She endured incarceration, solitary confinement and torture. What for ? free speech !
    94
  880. ā€œMmmhmmm. And when did I tell you? A looong time ago.ā€ I canā€™t. šŸ˜‚
    94
  881. This is the penultimate NO SHIT SHERLOCK moment only behind the incompetence of the Hillary campaign itself. yes, the primary was rigged, and yes, Hillary's campaign was the only incompetent candidate that could lose to an orange clown
    93
  882. Great discussion. I practiced in Canada for two years from 1983-1985. I loved it. And there is so much misinformation in the United States about Canada's system. I was at a cooking class in Sante Fe a few years ago. Two ladies were from Victoria. I introduced myself to them at the end of the class and said, "I'd like to ask you a question". They were agreeable. I said, "Would you trade you medical care in Canada for that in the United States?" There was an immediate "No" from both of them. We smiled and I said thank you. Thanks for the excellent presentation. Meghan McCain just spews the right wing propaganda without having any knowledge about what she is talking about.
    93
  883. Dave Rubin is the biggest hypocrite I have ever seen in my life. If the extreme right has bad ideas " it's okay cause it's free speech". if the extreme left has bad ideas "they should get kicked out from uni". I think because most of his viewers are from the right he tries to appeal to them to get more of their views. There are plenty of examples of the extreme right being extreme. The silence is deafening.
    93
  884. She is considered a serious political commentator for young conservatives, kinda tells you everything you need to know about how brain dead young conservatism is.
    93
  885. Great interview and confirming the transformation weā€™ve all seen take place. ā€œOwning the libsā€ canā€™t be your only political ideology, because that doesnā€™t necessarily take you further leftā€¦
    93
  886. David, a major point no one ever mentions about all the Canadians that are supposedly coming down here to get medical services. How the hell are they paying for it? Even most Americans who have insurance here find it hard to pay the cost left over by the insurance, so how did she think a Canadian who doesn't have American insurance will be able to pay full price for those medical services? It might make sense if they are coming here to see a specific world leading expert who is at the top of their field. Bit that isn't much different from Americans who travel to other countries to see their top rated doctors for specialist care.
    93
  887. The jokes are funnier the more I hear them. She killed it. The blow back the media is getting is gold.
    93
  888. I had a stroke 10 weeks ago, I had a ambulance come for me and took me to hospital, it took about 40 minute and saved me. Thanks to our brilliant NHS I am well on the way to recovery, and guess what ? I donā€™t have to worry how to pay for it.
    92
  889. As a lesbian who came out publicly almost 50 years ago I'll accept Joy's apology when she also apologizes to Bernie Sanders and his supporters for all the hateful things she said about him and the rest of us. Accusing a man who joined the civil rights movement while he was still in college back over 50 years ago of being racist! She should be truly humbled now but as David says in the video - she's just a liar!
    92
  890. It's amazing how they criticize Sanders for being an evil socialist and in the next breath criticize him for not being socialist enough.
    92
  891. JD wants to bring back monarchs so he can be the ottoman king

  893. Lefties who are siding with the free speech argument just want a level playing field. They donā€™t want to be victims to the same sort of censorship. The thing is... itā€™s not a level playing field and it never will be. Youā€™re right, David. This is a culture war.
    92
  894. I finally get it. Going woke means being sane.....................
    91
  895. Thank you for pushing the correct narrative. There are even more reasons that I'm not willing to go into here. I appreciate you not towing the Corporate Democratic line of black people being anti gay. That has nothing to do with why we don't like Pete. He is a racist. He practices benign neglect with the black community at his best. He's done absolutely nothing about police violence in his communities.
    91
  896. Ā @hargibson18Ā  There is a distinct difference. Autographs and baseball cards accrue value over time and are attached to a historical context over a long period of time. NFTs just suddenly have value because people told us they do.
    91
  897. Jason Johnson, professional wrong person
    91
  898. Thanks for this from the UK. Utterly disgusting smear.
    91
  899. left side separatist... the status quo is labeling progressives like the confederacy...
    91
  900. Sigh. I love President Obama but he should be talking about the "circular firing squad" the Dems set up for Ilhan Omar, or Bernie in 2016. His establishment bias is so bright it's blinding.
    91
  901. amazon definitely doesn't care about the community...i've lived in seattle since 2011 and the changes in this city driven by the expansion of this company (attracting foreign investors to our real estate market) make small businesses close left and right over the rising costs of renting real estate and the marked increase in homelessness has created a definite class divide in this city
    91
  902. Jon Stewart is the GOAT. He created the whole Pol-medy genre or is it Investigative Comedy? Jordan Klepper is doing a great job continuing the work and had Bernie on recently. I wish Samantha Bee would grow a pair and have Bernie on instead of being such a Hillbot. I don't watch her or Trevor Noah anymore.
    91
  903. His son-in-law works for the company - he gave it to him. Besides wtf? He isnt campaigning for poverty. Health care and education doesnt mean we cant have jackets
    91
  904. I love Nina! She is human...even more a leader...we respond to human leaders, not robotic money chasing sellouts, and criminals .. Great piece I'm now subscribed ... cheers!
    90
  905. As a portuguese, I thank you for the quite accurate analysis. Yup! The apparent victory of the "left" may result in a more neo-liberal administration.
    90
  906. Progressive revolution has begun !
    90
  907. Thank You for name-dropping contra. I love her.
    90
  908. This is the whole problem, the "center" in US politics is hard right-wing everywhere else. This centrist nonsense is such garbage. The center should be labeled the "limp dicks who stand for nothing" . We need a real left-wing party in the US. Our Overton window is so far over the cliff on the right-wing side. These limp dick dems need to pull our whole spectrum to the left and back to a point of sanity.
    89
  909. Damn, I used to like Jen Kirkman. Her stand-ups were pretty funny. It's just sad that outside of her comedy, she's pretty stupid.
    89
  910. Goes to show you never judge a book by its cover.
    89
  911. Thank the good Lord for u and Max, it truly warms my heart when I see ppl like u be absolutely fair minded and put ur self at risk of hate and judgement for telling the other side of the story
    89
  912. Trump said pretty much the same thing during one of the Republican primary debates, even referencing Scotland again. The fact that the No.1 Reason Americans File for Bankruptcy is due to difficulty paying medical bills is mind-boggling to us here in the UK.
    89
  913. Awesome!!!! Lets go socialists!!!
    89
  914. I just waited for her to say the word "woke" and when she did after about 4 seconds i burst out laughing. Gotta love a right wing clown.
    89
  915. Shapiro is such a square. Never been able to listen to him, he's way too concern about his own "speaking truth" which is a sign of extreme lack of life experiences. Take a breath and chill a little bit kiddo.
    89
  916. Gotta do more research on Nina but dam man, I agree I lean to the conservative side but I would pay attention to her. And possibly vote for her. Yes she is a straight shooter.
    88
  917. David, you were never going to have a productive conversation with a person harboring that much venom. My initial reaction was that these people are being paid to do this...but I don't know...there might honestly be something else going on with this one.
    88
  918. Wow, these comments are disheartening. I'm all for a progressive wave, but how can we grow the progressive movement if we reject people who join the cause?
    88
  919. I didnt want to be an American but I applied citizenship because of Sanders. I came from a country which is run by celebrity oligarchs with their dynastic ruling. I am alarmed that this country is becoming my former country. With my extensive research of Sanders track record, Sanders is the only legit politician for the people not for the special interests. Good luck to you my fellow Americans and dont get distracted by this two way party system and their tribalism that divides and tears us apart.
    88
  920. Youā€™re right. That REALLY pissed me off. What an out-of-touch douchebag. And now Iā€™m gonna have ā€œMove Bitchā€ stuck in my head for the rest of the night. Thanks. šŸ˜œ
    88
  921. Also: Michael Brooks was calling out Yang before anyone else. He pegged him as a libertarian-in-liberal-clothing and as a faux-progressive LONG before others.
    88
  922. David, you were way too kind to her for not talking about blog posts from 10 years ago when she constantly brings up things Bernie wrote in a magazine 40 years ago. You are way more mature than I could be when talking about a total hack like Joy Reid lol, but I guess that is a good thing ;)
    88
  923. I never see this type of blind fanaticism from anyone on the left. The closest Iā€™ve seen are Hillary supporters, refusing to acknowledge any criticisms, but even they didnā€™t say things like say ā€œeverything she says is correctā€ or ā€œshe is a genius and is cut from a different clothā€. Itā€™s no exaggeration to say that Trump can do no wrong in their eyes. It isnā€™t THIS bad.
    88
  924. https://secure.actblue.com/contribute/page/holler Okay YouTube progressives, do your thing: time to flood Lissa Lucas' campaign with small donations. Get going!
    87
  925. Just a note. I used to be a conductor. There should be a distinction between derailments in the yard at very low speed during switching operations. These are common, though far less common than in the past. Derailments at speed on the mainline are what needs to be prevented for public safety, especially if they are carrying Hazmat. They used to take way more precautions to make sure that didn't happen, but in the last 6 years or so, they went hard on lobbying congress and FRA to loosen safety regulations. They need to bring back the train inspectors, and give them the time they need to inspect the cars before they go out on the main, and to visually inspect the cars as they pass by on the rail at certain intervals. They did this for decades, then they decided they wanted to save money and got rid of a lot of the inspectors and lowered the inspection standards.
    87
  926. Joy has a seriously inflated opinion of herself if she seriously thinks hackers would spend their time messing with her blog 10 years ago. The truth, as anybody with even a few functioning brain cells can see, is that she wrote those posts and refuses to own up to them.
    87
  927. Thanks for doing this video, David! I didn't think anyone would talk about this. The British media's bias against Corbyn is so transparent. The fact was that Labour was marginally ahead of the Conservatives in the popular vote which is in line with recent polling which shows Labour and Tories neck and neck. Plus, Labour actually gained seats while the Conservatives lost seats and councils. And the corporate media wonders why nobody trusts them anymore?
    87
  928. How is doing what pretty much every other industrialized nation on the planet does radical? I would agree with him if he were a surfer from the 90's. When it comes to paying for universal healthcare, tuition free college, fully funded K-12, etc it's simple. Reduce the bloated defense budget and raise taxes on millionaires and billionaires. Under Bernie's proposed tax plan (and including state and local taxes) millionaires and billionaires would have still made enough in 12 months to last multiple lifetimes.
    87
  929. I appreciate that you give credit to Peterson. He's a strange dude but he is willing to change his mind. Both sides of the political spectrum lack that lately.
    87
  930. His entry into politics was inspired by reading Milton Friedman. All you need to know. deregulation, financialization, outsourcing, union busting... The fact that anyone thinks he's anti-elitest is hysterical.
    87
  931. Is it me, or does Bolsonaro look like a 70-year-old Ben Shapiro?
    87
  932. Wow, you nailed it.šŸ‘ Where the heck did Biden come from? He was OTG one minute and practically overnight heā€™s back in the news, talk shows, and apparently the polls. Yeah Bernie was deliberately excluded from that poll. Theyā€™re teeing Biden up for the Democratic candidacy, and the oligarchsā€™ wheel keeps on spinning.
    87
  933. It's so sad to see a peacekeeping nation like Canada with a leader so blind to the corporate media madness. Neoliberalism is destroying the world.
    86
  934. Love the deepfake thumbnail lol
    86
  935. I canā€™t wait to call Gillum my Governor!
    86
  936. Bahahahaha NO. He doesnā€™t get to just resign and return to ā€œnormalā€
    86
  937. Damn Man I love your videos even more Thanks a lot for destroying this hack of Rubin
    86
  938. I'm 66. Been an Independent voter all my voting years. I do not wear red or blue glasses. I have been waiting for a Bernie Sanders for my whole life. Honest in their views and walking the walk. People who are not owned but really vote for what the people need. We do not all watch Fox News. (makes me puke in my mouth a little if I do) I spent my teens in a time of great social, cultural, political, and generational upheaval. I do not understand how so many of my generation forget where we came from. We were the disenfranchised youth that helped stop a war and demonstrated for civil rights for all. In the words of our "great leader" Trump. Sad.
    85
  939. The Olympics are literally filled with people that are out of the ordinary in some ways. It's up to the IOC and all the sports Federations to define the rules and to enforce them. Like it or not, as far as we, the vast majority of us, are concerned, we are just spectators. So relax and enjoy.
    85
  940. I applied/petitioned for my husband in Sept 2020 ...it's now almost March 2023 ...still waiting. A process that should take no more than 8 months in now almost at the 2.5 year mark. It doesn't matter if you do it legally or illegally, they just don't care. You are viewed as a number and not a person.
    85
  941. Wonder what a guy would be called if he wrote the same tweet about Hillary..šŸ¤”
    85
  942. This is so typical, anti-competition at its finest. They know independent journalism is making them obsolete because they're more honest so they try to destroy you guys to keep their views, their ratings, and continue to fool the masses to fit their agenda(s).
    85
  943. Diego and Evo Morales were great friends. Diego was anti-imperalist and is exactly the kind of sporting hero we want. Diego was a man of the people. A true legend always. Rest In Peace Diego Maradona.
    85
  944. As a fellow Canadian...Great video...
    85
  945. How come this channel has just 50k subscribers? Keep going man!
    85
  946. I LOVE Cardi B. I had no idea who she was until I recently stumbled onto an interview she did. Sheā€™s completely honest and down to earth with zero grooming to sound and answer questions perfectly. Shes extremely smart and talks in a way thatā€™s real and easy to understand. During the interview I saw she makes a point of discussing how poorly people are paid, how she will always remember never being paid over $300 bucks no matter how hard she worked at minimum wage jobs. She talked about how college is not designed for people like her, people who are trying to pull themselves from poverty. How in college, there wasnā€™t good, affordable transportation, no good affordable food, it made it extremely hard to continue going, the deck was stacked against someone like her, who was poor. How kids who are poor canā€™t even afford to eat in between classes, canā€™t afford to even get to the college. The interviewer said something like, ā€œpeople shouldnā€™t judge you for being a stripper when you were younger, you were probably making that money to help your family.ā€ Cardi B. says...naw, I was making that money to help myself. I couldnā€™t live on minimum wage, no one can. Honest...it was awesome.
    84
  947. that woman is the archetypal definition of ignorance! im embarrassed to share the same planet as her.
    84
  948. I am so tired of protocol taking precedent over passion. This is what we need to see more of from our elected officials. Good work!
    84
  949. She was also one of the few Democrats not to vote for Trump's military budget.
    84
  950. Not that I needed this to confirm my suspicions, but the talking-points that corporate Democrats use around identity politics turn out, once again, to be completely empty. I mean, yes, both candidates for the job happened to African American, but one of them is a woman. That woman just happened to be the more progressive (the actual progressive) of the two. I think it's always helpful to bring up the shameful weaponization of social justice causes and identity politics that corporate Democrats deploy in order to shutdown real progressivism.
    84
  951. Read listen Liberal by Thomas Frank, and then see Bill Clinton and Barack Obama clearly for the first time. They each brought disaster to the Democratic party and the nation by moving the liberal Party toward being a 2nd party of corporate money.
    84
  952. Hm well the daily caller and Fox News certainly didnā€™t provide the whole clip for the full context.
    84
  953. Ojeda is a cool guy. I support his run. Not sure if I'd vote for him. But I appreciate his union activism and his involvement helping get the West Virginia teacher's strike off the ground.
    84
  954. You can thank Obama for repealing habias corpus now these kinds of excessive crackdowns will happen more.
    83
  955. Your impression of JP may not be spot on, but it does capture the spirit.
    83
  956. Seems like America's stupidity is bleeding over into Canada.
    83
  957. If Bolsonaro were to have his way with Dave Rubin, he'd be getting a one-way helicopter ride 20 miles out into the Atlantic Ocean. It truly boggles my mind how these people can so eagerly kiss the asses of individuals who are disgusted by them.
    83
  958. Most "regulations" are actually protections from industry. From investors to workers to consumers, nearly everyone except the oligarchs benefit from these protections.
    83
  959. She needed an ambulance!!! You dont get to drag ppl. U call for a gurney. Wtf!!
    83
  960. This was excellent! My late fiance was brought up in South Africa, his parents went there when he was 11 years old. He was horrified by the apartheid regime and when he was old enough to get involved in the underground movement, he did. I met him in Cornwall in the UK, and we protested outside the South African embassy when we moved to London. I can't go into details on here, but it was people like my fiance, who made a difference. Jeremy Corbyn is ethical and moral, and the first politician in my voting life that I fully support. Enough of Conservative or neoliberal bullshit.
    82
  961. The problem is that the USA still live in the wild West. No one trust one another and the over all mentality is to step on others and make yourself richer and successful on the cost of others. It's this get off my lawn mentality that fuels the need for guns. Take a year off and move to which ever EU country. You will feel a big relief when you realise that life is not about defending yourself, worrying about gun, thinking everyone else is an enemy, not being able to get healthcare. It really is more free to live in a social democratic Scandinavia, but the difference is that we don't have to brag about our freedom because it's real.
    82
  962. I love how conservatives are now outraged because Michelle Wolf made "cruel" jokes. I thought they were the free speech and anti-PC crowd who hated "snowflakes", but of course THEY become the snowflakes against free speech once someone dares to speak out against their Daddy or does something that upsets the status quo (taking a knee, for example). I also remembered that a good chunk of conservatives are in the fake morality crowd; and they find endless war dandy, but naughty language immoral. P.S.: I also love how she called out the media and Dems, and how butthurt they also are.
    82
  963. News actress, good one! šŸ˜†
    82
  964. "News Actress" ... Dave, you're on to something.
    82
  965. Did they blame centrism for losing 1000 seats?
    82
  966. As a British person I want to say I stand in solidarity with Canada on this, and will stand up to my own government for their disgusting neutrality. I'm confident that the majority of the British people would side with Canada on this if they heard this story. You have more than one ally in the world. Every day the Conservatives continue to act like Saudi Arabia's lapdogs, they lose more face.
    81
  967. Is this all they have to attack Bernie? Now I respect him even more. If this is the best they can get to smear him, then there is nothing dirty to hide there.
    81
  968. every time i listen to corbyn it feels like, corprate media heads are exploding, im loving it
    81
  969. I actually watched this live. I think it was last Saturday morning. I have a whole new respect for Kellerman.
    81
  970. David, haven't you noticed, people like me never have a voice, I live in Alabama, we are the expendable people, we know it, Uniontown knows it, they dumped their coal ash in an open pit there, Anniston knows it, they dumped their PCB's in open ditches there, AfricaTown knows it, the propane pipeline there has been leaking for 10 years, Baldwin county knows it, they dump their nuke waste there, want to know who else noticed? BP, Monsanto, Raytheon, Boeing, Nissan, Toyota, they can do whatever they like here, and get away with it Nobody gives a deep fried rat's ass about people here
    81
  971. what AOC said is exactly how I helped turn a misogynist to a kind of feminist. It took forever but he would often come back to me and say how he went over our last conversation and how he started to change his way of thinking. Hed often voice how appreciative he was of me for talking to him and trying to understand his point of view. It was emotionally exhausting but it worked.
    81
  972. The establishment loves Feinstein but thinks Sanders is too old.
    81
  973. Being a billionaire isn't an aspirational thing, it's a disgusting addiction to power and influence.
    81
  974. What I fail to comprehend is the sheer feeling of entitlement some people have. Really, you are going to refuse to move you tiny floatation device (calling it a raft would be overly generous) for a giant tour boat to dock? This feels like parking an RV on a buss-stop. And then to start a fight over something where you are so clearly in the wrong... what is wrong with these people?
    81
  975. I grew up in the 90s, I remember having textbooks from the 70s we couldn't take home and forget about paper, the teacher had to buy their own, and who could forget about having to share a copy paper because there's no money for printer paper. If people don't know this by now, something is really wrong.
    81
  976. Bernie 2020.
    81
  977. That's why I watch your content because you actually get it ...
    81
  978. Peterson's fans think he's some brilliant thinker. He's just espousing old terrible ideas with some jargon and a folksy Canadian charm. Nothing he's ever said is groundbreaking. He's a conservative trying to conserve the current order, a straight white male order.
    80
  979. Iā€™m a fan of facts, rationalism and progressive policy. Corbyn is going to be the next leader and destroy the neolibs and facists
    80
  980. How to pay for it? Quit spending $715 billion on military for endless useless wars causing trillions of dollars of deficits. Quit cutting taxes for the corporate oligharchs. Both parties guilty of this recklessness.
    80
  981. Dyson is obviously way too intelligent to debate Peterson. Peterson is a crybaby and has toxic views and really if I were part of the right I wouldnā€™t be calling him up to debate my side.
    80
  982. Why is Scheer smirking the entire time like this is so much fun for him? It's psychopathic.
    80
  983. spotify cofounder and ceo daniel ek has also invested over $100 million in the military ai company helsing. that enough made me quit spotify
    80
  984. i wonder what joy ann reid thinks about this (not b/c i value her opinion, but b/c i need a laugh)
    80
  985. Love Humanist Report! Love knowing that local Canadians get to hear this guy!
    80
  986. That was one of the creepiest things I've ever seen. I knew that a few corporations owned most news channels but I never would've guessed it was this bad.
    80
  987. Believing that Boogaloos are actually secretly progressive is like believing a transphobe when they say trans identities are valid lol all of their actions and rhetoric clearly show otherwise
    80
  988. I think this is one of the most embarassing moments in Theresa Mays political career. Job well done by the reporter!
    80
  989. This is why joe is annoying sometimes and disingenuous at times, because hes a true left liberal and wants these progressive (common sense) things, but almost tries to pretend hes neutral in order to not piss or or push away? Conservative figures. And its the first time ive actually heard him take a stance n policy and say what he's in favor for. Which is why its so frustrating he says he loves alex Jones, and is buddied with him. How can you?! The asshole is 100% in favor of what trump is doing and hasn't said a fucking word about kids being kidnapped by big government, hes a hack and a shit person, joe just called those people nothing but assholes and a piece of shit, yet why do u feel u need to be friends with someone so shitty? Thats really my only criticism of him. Of course hes right. And its nice to see him take a stance on it. Now wait for the wave of all right wingers to shit on him for wanting to protect children.
    79
  990. david i watch your content around my mom because she's a trump supporter and she gets mad when i lecture her about politics but i can see her listening to you and thinking critically about her own beliefs....the way you present your ideas is so accessible to so many people, i really think you're making a big impact at least here in my trump supporting household
    79
  991. Well said, David. Oprah's lifelong message is you can achieve anything if you work hard and believe in yourself. This message is largely true for the 1%, but largely false for the 99%. Tell that to a Palestinian, for example. Tell that to a poor person who is broke and in debt and can't get a loan. Tell that to a person diagnosed with cancer that can't afford insurance. In our economic system, Oprah's message is just an empty platitude.
    79
  992. Dave Rubin makes a living being outraged about outrage
    79
  993. Thank you. The title says everything I've been saying about these two-faced "moderates" from the start. There is no reason to listen to her, Sasse, or Flake about anything anymore. Just look at their voting records and let that do the talking.
    79
  994. Have the conservatives turned into triggered little snowflakes who don't like free speech when someone says negative things about them yet?
    78
  995. Trump is the antithesis of what it means to be Christian. Any religious person who feels he represents them needs to reexamine themselves.
    78
  996. There is enough on Earth for everybody's need, but not enough for everybody's greed. - Gandhi
    78
  997. The republicans fired Mitchell for basically doing her job. She was doing a good job! She was doing what a prosecutor is supposed to do. She was connecting the dots and building a case. It's just that the republicans didn't like where the evidence (evidence that Kavanghn himself provided I might add) was leading her.
    78
  998. Go Bernie!
    77
  999. Joe FTW....nice work. We are not on this earth for long....indeed. What do we really want to do while we are here? I'd like to think we all want enjoyable and fulfilling lives where we can contribute in a meaningful way to our society...and have respect for and even actively assist those seeking the same. Is it too much to ask? Keep up the great work David.
    77
  1000. I am SO GLAD you picked Barbara Lee if it's not Nina. I actually called Barbara Lee's office and left a message with her staff begging her to run for US Senator from California, but she didn't. (Fortunately Alison Hartson is running.) But Barbara is a superior choice and I'm so glad you recognized her. :)
    77
  1001. Heh, the people downvoting the video are proof of white fragility in action.
    77
  1002. This is the Tim Ryan I remember. He may be a different creature now, but he was a great firebrand in the 2000s when I used to watch him as a young 30-something fighting for blue-collar workers in Ohio. I wish he would be more like the Tim Ryan of old, but he seems to have become more for big money interests after years in the House.
    77
  1003. Excellent video. Excellent work in researching and providing those older clips.
    77
  1004. Candace Owens was on Joe Rogan and was the dumbest guest I've ever seen on the show. Rogan kept asking her about global warming and her defense was "It doesn't exist because I don't believe in it.
    77
  1005. Trump be like: I didn't do that, and if I did, you didn't understand it, and if you did, it's no big deal, and if it is, others have done worse.
    77
  1006. Wow - you go, Nina!
    76
  1007. It doesn't help either when YouTube doesn't help their content creators.
    76
  1008. The biggest problem with Megyn Kelly is that any news agency, like NBC, would ever consider hiring her. She's proven time and time again how clueless she is. I think someone that thinks Jesus was white should automatically have nothing to do with spreading news. If you think a middle eastern jew that lived 2000 years ago was a white guy, you are probably lacking the critical thinking skills and knowledge to be working in the news. News agencies should all be getting rid of Megyn Kelly and all the other dense idiots that work for them, but they won't because it's all a big corporate entertainment show, not news. Fuck all these clowns. And these idiots want to say everyone is too PC, and then cry about Colin Kaepernick saying what he wants about police and whatever else. The right are PC too, just about different things. The right will cry about anyone expressing views outside of the American mythology they want to spread, so the fact that they aren't "PC" or stifling free speech is the biggest con and joke of all time.
    76
  1009. If you are killed by a stranger there is a 33% chance it was a police officer that murdered you. Wow.
    76
  1010. Thank you David. Oprah is great but we need policy makers and public servants not billionaire celebrities.
    76
  1011. Big surprise. 3/4 of all domestic terrorism is from right-wingers. It doesn't help when the Clown in Chief literally calls for violence at every one of his tax-funded rallies. Trump will just blame the media, and this will continue.
    76
  1012. Is it just me or did Trump accidentally unite the country? Even the republicans in my community are calling him out for dangling children over the democrats in order to get wall funding.
    75
  1013. Eddie has a new fan in me. Thanks for highlighting humanity can exist on the networks.

  1014. For those being critical of AO-C ... you are being disingenuous towards her. No one, not you, not me, not anyone on Congress, nor even the most expert foreign policy expert knows everything about every nook and cranny around the world! She literally just unexpectedly got nominated against a sellout millionaire douche bag ... she will learn. However, I do as well say she should have admitted her lack of knowledge on the issue instead of trying to force an answer. But as David Doel and a few others have said, she will get better over time. I have no doubt she will eventually call out Israel and its human rights violations against the Palestinian people.
    75
  1015. I was sadden about that yesterday but I will say this I think that she will get more name recognition the next time I hope she doesn't give up.
    75
  1016. Hey David, my family and I are moving to Toronto from NYC this summer and Iā€™ve really appreciated your coverage on Canadian politics. I think I found The Breach thru you as well which has been a great resource.
    75
  1017. She was awesome. I never heard of her before. Imagine Jimmy Dore getting that gig.
    75
  1018. David youā€™re so funny. You donā€™t have to keep rationalizing why you watch Morning Joe occasionally, most of us do. Itā€™s not like weā€™re going to watch Fox & Friends instead. šŸ˜‚

  1019. this is so frustrating lmao nobody thinks the onus for societal change should fall on a black superhero movie...or any movie for that matter. i've seen dozens of cookie cutter hero movies where the white dude in the white city saves the day and nobody ever expected THOSE movies to end racism or eradicate poverty or emancipate prison slaves, so i'm not offended at the idea that black kids get to grow up with a movie that shows a society where the people who look like them aren't all villains, HAVENT been victimized by colonization, and actually are the heroes for once. to deny the cultural impact that the representation of marginalized people in media has on our society is to deny that there are underrepresented groups in our society in the first place, and obviously this is a small step towards a more inclusive society and it isnt gonna stop racism on a global scale but how can you see a group of people get so excited about something so harmless and NOT be happy about it for them?? (also im sorry for always writing essays in the comments sections of your videos but you should take it as a compliment lmao- your work is very thought provoking)
    75
  1020. So glad to see you take this stance. The free speech thing is a red herring. Let's just take it for granted that he has every right to say these things. That doesn't compel anyone to provide him with a soapbox. It's just capitalism in action. Private companies doing what's in their own interest. Invisible Hand, market forces etc.

  1021. Ignorance and complacency of the average citizen are the greatest threats to any democracy.

  1022. When traveling abroad I have encounter more Canadians than Americans and I always asked myself why is that, considering that there are only 35 million Canadians versus 325 million Americans. Ā In reality there should 9 Americans traveling abroad for every Canadian. Right???? Do you know that 60% of Canadians hold valid passports??? What about Brits and Aussies? 75% of them have valid passports. If you take into account that only 36% of Americans have passports and that American media has distorted the view of the rest of the world than it would be easy to understand why a large group of Americas would easily fall prey to a liar president like Trump. Having lived in the US for so long I am convinced that the average American views of the rest of the world like seeing it through a crack in the ceiling. Cheers from the good US of A.
    74
  1023. I've studied Shapiro for a while. This is how he operates. He accused Ocasio-Cortex of waffling on for two minutes and yet that's exactly what he did when confronted by Cenk Uygur during the Politico debates, specifically the debate on Universal Healthcare - something he clearly had no idea about. He doesn't research. He blindly follows every other American Conservative's talking points. He's nothing but a lazy hack.
    74
  1024. He gets paid loads of money to be clueless.
    74
  1025. i loved it too, they were all pissed off cause she roasted them all. outraged about everything she said, real and imagined
    74
  1026. Wow... for long time... My faith in humanity actually restored for a day.
    74
  1027. "Liberal media?" Oh,-puh-lease!! Americans would have known they had more choices in the 2016 presidential elections than shillery and the trumpster if we had a "liberal media" that told people about Jill Stein and the Green Party. Instead, they only bring her up to smear her with lies. Without online podcasts like yours, progressives wouldn't know what was actually going on the world. That's probably why they want to end net neutrality so much. Thanks for the great insights, David!
    74
  1028. I know a lot of progressives just want to start a 3rd party and be done with democrats, but I see the opposite happening. I think Progressives are going to take over the democratic party, and the corporate dems (like Pelosi) are either going to go to the republican party or start their own 3rd party... a corporate/establishment party. It may not happen by 2020, but it think it will happen. At this point an endorsement from Nancy Pelosi is a death knell to whomever she endorses and a huge boost to whomever she doesn't endorse.
    73
  1029. I voted for Gillum. My family voted for him. My wifes family voted for him. Friends voted for him... #bringithome florida #bringithome...
    73
  1030. Texas is loaded with male "nationalists" who would never vote for Beto in a million years because he stood up for Colin Kaepernick. The hatred these male "nationalists" have for black men in this country is an evil that I don't think has ever been calculated or experienced in human history before. Think about it...you would think that 400 years ago black men brought these "nationalists" over to this country and forced them to be slaves for 300 years and even after a war was fought to free them these black men forced "nationalists" in a system of Jim Crow for another 100 years. You would think that the "nationalists" hatred of black men was based on that shit but it's the complete opposite..blacks were the slaves for 300 years and forced to live with Jim Crow for 100 years and even today we live in what has been called the new Jim Crow. The male "nationalists" hatred of the black man is based on nothing.....we didn't do ANYTHING to these people yet they still hate us......what the fuck is that other than pure evil?? These male "nationalists" will ALWAYS vote for someone like Ted Cruz who openly demonizes the black man in this country for no reason at all and based on that poor Beto doesn't stand a chance in a state like Texas......and that's a shame.
    73
  1031. Trudeau is wrong. Mankind, means huMAN kind. Not malekind. The origin of the word comes from HUMANkind, meaning the human race, all of humanity, all humans. Honestly, I am starting to hate Trudeau... from this ridiculous politically correct garbage, to his response to why he is taking veterans to court because 'they are asking to much', to giving 10 million to Omar Khadr, to his horrible environmental policies, to bailing out bombardier... I will not be supporting the Liberals in the next election.
    73
  1032. This fella is excellent. David, I'm so happy to have found your work. You're succinct, sharp, and your work is pretty well researched. Keep on, mate!
    73
  1033. Hillary was so concerned with uniting progressives that she said we would never have single payer healthcare in this country and picked Tim Kaine to be her running mate.
    73
  1034. Your comments at the end are great. Attacking people with no power is pointless and gets nothing of value accomplished. I applaud you for using your platform to bring a nuanced and humble left wing perspective to these issues. It is unfortunate that many people, regardless of political identity, prefer to use politics as personal purity tests as opposed to a means to do good for the world.
    73
  1035. TheTechnocrat78 Pushing 60. I'm sick of neoliberal bullshit and rightwing nonsense. I've lived long enough to see the wreckage left with the removal of the New Deal. These changes are easily obtained. We simply lack the political will.
    73
  1036. The amendment king, and he travels all across the country. How does Bernie have so much energy, at his age.
    73
  1037. Imagine Bernie debating Trump this upcoming presidential election. Oh my, his honestly and knowledge on policies would make him run circles around Trump.
    73
  1038. Barbara Lee is an awesome pick -- I'll throw Cornel West in as a potential VP, because that would be so fucking dope.
    73
  1039. How dare Bernie Sanders call Barack Obama charismatic and intelligence even though Obama is charismatic and intelligence! How very rude of him he should be arrested for those insulting compliment! Seriously this is why i question the sentient of the human race this is why the universe question the sentient of the human race!
    73
  1040. This is such a great channel! And yes, Pelosi has lost her mind. She is basically a republican at heart and of course she would support a conservative...
    73
  1041. If slavery was a choice, we would not have let it happen in the first place.
    72
  1042. Damn straight man! I used to text into The Ed Show when he would have those text message polls during commercial breaks on MSNBC. I missed him while he was gone and it's depressing that he has passed... man...
    72
  1043. Love her reaction to the win. 12 Justice Democrats candidates have now won, when everyone was saying they would be lucky to elect one. #Winning #GoLeft #ProgressivesWillWin
    72
  1044. David, as a fellow Canadian I appreciate your analysis. My heart breaks for the people in Gaza.
    72
  1045. Dave had me yelling ā€œTHANK YOUā€ at the end lmao
    72
  1046. that Scheer guy is a complete buffoon but Trudeau's like, "we have to talk about possibly having a discussion about maybe pushing back on why israel shot at a Canadian doctor. maybe. perhaps?" it's kind of the same thing in the US. weakling Democrats vs strong Conservatives. Scheer guy had strong convictions about this situation however dumb it might be...and we have Trudeau over there talking like a mealy mouthed jagoff.
    72
  1047. Dave Rubin's sell out for rightwing money is so obvious I cannot understand how his supporters can be so willfully blind to it.
    72
  1048. Not to mention she was already working in the WH Press Room and was a Comm Dir for MoveOn. Not like she's not qualified.
    72
  1049. This lady make me feel so proud and hopeful.šŸ’™šŸ’™šŸ’™āœŠšŸ¼āœŠšŸ¼āœŠšŸ¼
    72
  1050. And advertisers have the right to remove their money from her show.
    72
  1051. I find that most people who criticize socialism don't actually understand socialism or either only understand some of its extremes.
    72
  1052. I'm an Independent. The majority of us wanted Bernie if I remember my polls correctly. The parties want our vote, but not our opinions or the ability to vote in the primaries.
    72
  1053. Obama and his people knows where the real energy and future of the party is and they are finally openly acknowledging it. It is with the Berniecrats not the with the Clintonistas. This is good b/c it says to older black voters (and the black political establishment) it is okay to vote and support these young Social Democrats over the old tired Third Way Republican Lite Democrats.
    72
  1054. Israel needs to elect new leaders. They are being hypocritical they are doing to Palestinians what The Nazis did to the Jewish people. We should all treat others how we want to be treated and rise up against people who are evil and filled with hate
    71
  1055. It was VERY telling that once Mitchell was asking about the specific date listed in Kavanaughs own calendar, she was disappeared by the Republicans. They got her out of there quick once she was starting to get to some kind of truth.
    71
  1056. THANK YOU! David, you are the first person I've seen talk about this crazy-ass, end times prophecy, that these evangelical lunatics are trying to bring to fruition. My own mother was one of them. They are a death cult, plain and simple.
    71
  1057. Go Kids Go!!!!!! A new generation fed up with the corrupt establishment!!!!!
    71
  1058. Love that you're covering British politics !
    71
  1059. Pelosi is a corporate bought sellout just as most of her political friends.. Money out of politics NOW!!
    71
  1060. I voted for him and was able to get my moderate/establishment family members to do the same.
    71
  1061. He should work a mind numbing, physically draining 8-12 hour job for less than $8.00/hour.
    71
  1062. If you're against raising the minimum wage, you're not the "Resistance". You're an impediment. Neera Tanden must resign.
    71
  1063. Gained a ton of respect for Cardi for sure!
    70
  1064. WE is very problematic, and there is certainly corruption occurring here, but Poilievre is about as bad as right wing politicians get in Canada. Not a peep from him when conservatives are caught being corrupt.
    70
  1065. I voted for Gillum. Gillum was on the Today show last week and when asked does he support Med4All or not? Gillum answered I support Med4All. He also said he want's to build a green economy in Florida and fight to clean up our waterways and legalize marijuana. He is by far the better candidate.
    70
  1066. My mother watched this video with me. When Santorum was on, she said, " Look at his eyes. He sounds like an idiot and he knows it, but he has to do it because he sold his soul."
    70
  1067. if you can't understand how very real white privilege is, you don't classify as an intellectual
    70
  1068. Centrism is often just used as an excuse to be intellectually lazy. They cant defend the 45,000 people each year dying of health care, they cant defend kids being ripped away from their famlies; they cant defend the booming homelessness problem nor the student debt crisis. They take advantage of something inherent in our nature; Fear of change. When you have 2 kids, it doesnt matter if the old socialist skeleton proves to you that medicare for all will save her money. She is already living pay check to paycheck, so what if hes WRONG!? She wont be able to get by! Its sad.
    70
  1069. Cops don't run anymore. They point and shoot, point and shoot, point and shoot. Cops are murderers.
    70
  1070. The dnc is trying to control Bernie. Bernie is for the people.
    70
  1071. Alexandria Knows #MMT Economics, So Should You - #MMT Is The Dagger Into Neoliberal Austerity Heart
    70
  1072. I recently talked to a few fundamentalist Christians about climate change. I asked pretty much the same thing "Why don't you want to preserve the planet you think god gave you?" The general consensus was, god wouldn't let it happen, and it's just liberal propaganda. Mostly the latter. I don't understand why so many Christians are right wing, usually very conservative. If you look at the works/teachings of jesus, He was pretty liberal, and I'd say socialist as well. But, pointing that out leads to pearl clutching and raptor screeches. Just like if you say jesus wouldn't have been a white man with blonde hair, and blue eyes.
    70
  1073. As good liberal minded people we should feel sorry for these poor misguided souls. They hate others because they hate themselves. And for anyone to hate Bernie, you must hate yourself an awful lot. Their golden girl lost to DONALD F**ING TRUMP after all. Clinton is now being relegated to writing victimization stories and being mocked for it and Bernie is continuing the revolution. They were so concerned about having the first female president, they didn't care which female and now all they can do is be the miserable people they are.
    70
  1074. You know what acitvated these kids ben? 17 of their peers being MURDERED IN THEIR SCHOOL... I have tried. I have tried to give Ben Shapiro a chance. But I have hated right wing talking heads since I was 16 and wrote all over my backpack what an idiot rush Limbaugh was/is. Really easy for a lawyer that's married to a doctor to espouse free markets and small government while telling every else to get better skills and shut up.
    70
  1075. Bernie2020!
    70
  1076. Fantastic! Speak to your Canadian and international audience as well as your US audience. That's your ticket to expansion and differentiating yourself from Secular Talk/The Humanist Report, etc.
    70
  1077. her jokes were funny from jump but the reaction has been absolutely beautiful lmao seeing rich liberals get so angry about lightly insulting a fascist mouthpiece is like watching a spectator sport
    70
  1078. if Jimmy's fans cared about facts like they pretend to then Shaun's video would have ended his career
    70
  1079. Ben Shapiro showed his true colors
    69
  1080. Trudeau Mansplaining to a woman about how she should use the word Peoplekind instead of Mankind is kinda rich. Oops, sorry Mr Trudeau, Peoplesplaining, I meant to say.
    69
  1081. "What's your job?" - "Oh... I see... A gotcha question!"
    69
  1082. I can't wait to see Sanders beat Mike Pence in 2020!
    69
  1083. Too Little Too Late.
    69
  1084. David, once again nails it dropping stats. Love how you take not a study from a left wing group but Libertarian CATO institute. Once again, fascists like Ann Coulter, fact's don't care about your feelings.
    69
  1085. People who weren't born here do not understand or care about how much Republicans have destroyed our state and our economy. I'm proud of my fellow Texan born voters
    69
  1086. Kirk: I liked her because she stayed away from politics. Translation: I liked her when she was a woman who kept her mouth shut.
    69
  1087. "Singles out Israel"? What a bizarre argument. Should we not support any movement that seeks to address any issue that is localized to a degree smaller than global?
    69
  1088. I'm British & live in the US. Always laugh when GOPers try & explain why the NHS is terrible. Somehow my 18 years of happiness with the NHS never really rates in the conversation.
    69
  1089. Jordan Peterson is so intellectually dishonest when he pretends that white privilege is just a word created by leftists that needs to be explained as if people were talking about Santa Claus or the Easter Bunny. He has access to the same basic statistical and anecdotal data as Dr. Dyson or anyone with internet access. There is a slew of legitimate peer reviewed research to show discrepancies in how certain non-white groups are discriminated in a number of areas ranging from housing to banking to employment to education to law enforcement.
    69
  1090. I donā€™t understand how anyone still watches Jimmy Dore. The whole ā€œyou canā€™t trust anyone but meā€ shtick is what cult leaders do. The fact that heā€™s attacking Ryan Grim of all people says a lot.
    69
  1091. I heard one of his speaches and went to listen to one of Theresa May's speeches and immediately i thought to myself, Corbyn is the obvious answer here. He comes off as sincere and direct. A hopeful message about the gov. actually doing its part to help everday people is something. we need that more than ever. Vs. May, it reminded me of Trump, just pandering and saying things that sound nice but no substance behind it.
    68
  1092. Lipsinki must be a good fund-raiser. Money is all that warms Pelosi's half-dead heart.
    68
  1093. By the way I just discovered your videos and I really like them. Thank you for taking the time to make them.
    68
  1094. I have stopped shopping at Amazon. This company does NOTHING to help the economy, the working class and hurts local small businesses.
    68
  1095. Worth noting that Ocasio Cortez and Tlaib are DSA members, and the only two DSA members to be elected to congress.
    68
  1096. I agree with you. Look up Paradox of tolerance by Karl Popper. The paradox states that if a society is tolerant without limit, their ability to be tolerant will eventually be seized or destroyed by the intolerant. Popper came to the seemingly paradoxical conclusion that in order to maintain a tolerant society, the society must be intolerant of intolerance.This is why we have rights and we have responsibilities.
    68
  1097. Patreon time.
    68
  1098. This truly revealing about her character. Her lies are unreal.
    68
  1099. This 65 year old left cable years ago! Let the old farts watch cable news - it's FAKE anyways. I left MSNBC years ago, when Rachel Maddow became corporate. I worked for Bernie's campaign and will do so again.
    68
  1100. Baby Boomers=Greediest Generation in the United States...EVER. At least the Robber Barons built Museums, & Libraries. Baby Boomers haven't given this country shit besides an overblown sense of self importance. They can STFU about the 60's. They traded it all in for 80's Reaganomics, Clinton Neolibs, Obama the Great FRAUD and yes, The Trumpster is also THEIR Disaster! *Edit added:Since I guess I'm a Gen Xer, I will add my group to BBs as greedy. My Dad was a Detroit teacher & Mom stayed home! Children of those BBs bought in heavily w/Greed is Good mantra of the 80s. So we are at fault as well.*
    68
  1101. Thanks for Having me on! Always happy to chat with David!
    68
  1102. GOOD position, but this is a political move. Feinstein can't be trusted an ounce.
    67
  1103. Excellent analysis! I love your videos. No frills common sense truth!
    67
  1104. Who invited the used car salesman?
    67
  1105. Basic housing needs to be a fundamental right. In a developed country especially.
    67
  1106. Another excellent breakdown!
    67
  1107. I am a Barista in San Francisco working for a local small business. My company pays 100% of our healthcare plan from Kaiser Permanente, which costs them about $550 per month per employee. That means for the 50 employees, my company is paying roughly $27,000 per month! In March, directly after SF issued the Shelter in Place ordinance due to Covid-19, all hourly employees were laid off, thus losing health insurance. I was without any health insurance during this pandemic. Though I have been rehired, I must wait one month until my health insurance kicks in. Itā€™s one thing the not have health insurance when you can stay at home and social distance. But itā€™s another thing when you have to accept your job back or risk losing unemployment, and come in contact with hundreds of people and not have health insurance. I have 3 more weeks until Iā€™m insured again.
    67
  1108. I didn't rush. I was a conservative 5 years ago. Now a Democratic Socialist.
    67
  1109. Used to love Maher....been so turned off lately by his schilling for corporate democrats. Ingraham attacked Hogg about his college rejections for no reason other than she chose to attack him personally since she has no rational arguments against him. Then again, if you look up her history, this has been her specialty since her college days. She has finally met her match, and I agree Dave, Hogg has punched the bully. Good for him. Also, I cancelled my HBO subscription (since it will be another year anyways for GoT). Maher was one of the few reasons for me subscribing to HBO. No more.
    67
  1110. I just became a patron. We have to support each other because god knows the corporate state could care less.
    67
  1111. I can't stand Trudeau because he puts on this progressive facade, when in reality he's a corporatist, neo-liberal, who gives big businesses massive tax breaks, and is pushing for pipelines, when first nations communities aren't much better than before and the environment is being ignored. #Jagmeet
    67
  1112. This is probably my favorite political commentary channel, as it stays really grounded and informed.
    67
  1113. Today's candidates: Brent Welder - KS-03 James Thompson - KS-04 Matt Morgan - MI-01 Robert Davidson - MI-02 David Benac - MI-06 Fayrouz Saad - MI-11 Rashida Tlaib - MI-13 Abdul El-Sayed - MI-GOV Cori Bush - MO-01 Jamie Schoolcraft - MO-07 Dorothy Gasque - WA-03 Pramila Jayapal - WA-07 Sarah Smith - WA-09 Overall, there are 13 JD candidates running today, one of which is aiming to become a governor. Their states are Kansas, Michigan, Missouri and Washington.
    67
  1114. Jordan Peterson: I refuse to use gender pronouns. I donā€™t care what you identify as. I donā€™t care if it offends you. Also Jordan Peterson: donā€™t call me white. I donā€™t like being grouped into identity politics. Iā€™m offended. THIS IS GOLD!
    66
  1115. you are the only one i've heard talking about this so far dave...thanks for the real news
    66
  1116. The absolute boy has come out and said it: "We need homes for people? BUY THEM or take them over." I know first hand that housing first programs WORK, and they work ridiculously well. Bravo JC.

  1117. It feels like we forgotten the consequences of war.
    66
  1118. The Elites hate this man so much. This proves how much they fear Bernie Sanders
    66
  1119. wow... just show this clip in a commercial with Bernie 2020 at the end.
    66
  1120. Yes, on my dad's side of the family, almost everyone is right-wing to off-the-spectrum far-right, and thinks Fox News, Sean Hannity, and Rush Limbaugh are the truth-tellers; however, almost all my cousins on my dad's side are progressive and support Bernie. On my mom's side, they watch MSNBC and Joy Reid. So it sucks ass on both sides lmao.
    66
  1121. The Rational National I have been watching your videos religiously, Iā€™ve been commenting, I think that you were one of the most rational people I have listen to in regards to the current situation were in. I love that youā€™re involved even though youā€™re not a citizen here, youā€™re also commenting on Medicare for all from a perspective of someone who is actually experiencing a single-payer system. Iā€™ve sent several of your videos out to my friends and family to contemplate. I thank you for your service and appreciate all you do šŸ™šŸ»
    66
  1122. What YouTube is doing isn't right, David. Sending you some support.
    66
  1123. Great video David, you deserve to have way more subs.
    66
  1124. I am very glad that you - Rational National - are taking a stand in favour of empathy, and looking at the political unviability of cabbage-head dogma among pseudo-social justice ideologies. I will be sending you a private message on how this self-defeating lack of authentic social solidarity might be faced in the Canadian Green Party. I am writing from a region where both provincial and federal reps are Green. We have to develop your kind of understanding of common sense treatment of people.
    66
  1125. Watch her interview on cnn for example, they tried to trip her up, and smear her. She handeled herself extremely well, she has great political talent!
    66
  1126. these kids don't even watch 'the media'
    66
  1127. Big step towards renewable energy starts by us getting rid of money in politics. As long as big money exists in politics politicians wonā€™t support an industry that wonā€™t put money in their pockets.
    66
  1128. Thanks, man! I always watch your stuff. It is amazing to see this happen. He LITERALLY BRAGGED ABOUT GETTING RID OF ABORTION, he literally BRAGS ABOUT NOT PAYING TAXES and DESTROYING LEFTISTS! The man deserves neither comfort NOR security.
    66
  1129. This is the problem with the world we worry about the small and stupid things when we have much MUCH bigger issues with poverty etc the world would be a better place if we cared about the important things and not famous people and viral trends and such
    66
  1130. Nicely done, but beware the influx of JP acolytes. They comin'. When they do, yer video is going to be downvoted to hell.
    66
  1131. Always loved Chapelle and I really respect what he's been doing recent politically and supporting Ben Jealous
    66
  1132. people look back at slavery and can't believe how stupid we were,,, they will say the same about healthcare. someday...
    66
  1133. i wonder at why the black man of god gets particularly more counter verbals as opposed to the white pastor? coincidence ? i think not :P
    66
  1134. "I think what no one in this room wants to admit, is that Trump has helped all of you" Guilty silence.

  1135. This is EXACTLY why Bernie is so popular with people from across political spectrum. Instead of treating them like idiots and talking down to them, he treat them like actual people and let them knows heā€™s fighting for them. HRC on the other hand and her camp talk down to Trump voters/supporters and call all them racists, misogynists, deplorables and they wonder why she lost. Way to kickoff 2018 with a great video.
    65
  1136. I can't get enough of this. We needed this so much after years of Neoliberal, Neocon and MSM garbage- this was beyond brilliant. I loved seeing Jeff Weaver clapping and laughing when Wolf takes on the media.
    65
  1137. I don't care who you are. Everyone should get equal rights to health care. This isn't cool at all.
    65
  1138. I come from one of those whacky conservative families. (My brother is a big fan of Alex Jones, for instance. ) I would like to petition to be adopted into the Gosar family. Any way I could make that happen?
    65
  1139. "That's what this debate is about with political correctness: it's about the left going too far." He says that like the right never freaks out when someone they don't like says something that offends them. He must not watch Fox News... ever .
    65
  1140. 6.24 "Who wants people to not be healthy?" Well: Ben Shapiro, Dave Rubin, Steven Crowder, all of the libertarians and the Republicans, every single member of the current executive branch. This is why I can't stand Rogan. He always plays dumb and acts more ignorant than he is. Everyone knows that one side of the American political divide actively promotes human suffering. But here's Joe Rogan, pretending that they aren't doing exactly that...
    65
  1141. Happy Canada Day weekend! I would like to note another reason our Supreme Court system is less partisan. In the United States, judges on the bench set precedence via interpreting the constitution that was created in 1787. Thatā€™s A VERY LONG TIME AGO. Which is why there tends to be schools of thought on how to interpret it on the court (originalist vs. Living tree document). In Canada, our Supreme Court is interpreting our Constitution which was created only in 1982. AND the Supreme Court has stated the Canadian Constitution WILL be interpreted as a living document (evolving with society and the norms of Canada as they change). As Canadians we truly are still living in the 1800s compared to the US with regards to our Constitution. Society hasnā€™t changed enough for schools of thought on our Constitution to emerge.
    65
  1142. I 'joined', David, because you are so essential to my staying politically informed. Thank you for sharing your insights.
    65
  1143. Joe Rogan won't cover this, but will cry about CHAZ to ANY guest that will listen
    65
  1144. It may take more than just 1 election cycle, but Progressives are indeed taking over, and we will take back our government from the 1%.
    65
  1145. As an American I used to be extremely jealous if you Canadians. Now I'm just really jealous.
    65
  1146. I worked for the NHS for years and now Iā€™m disabled I need the NHS and love the NHS. But I can tell you to look for the figures of the number of American women coming to the U.K. these American women fly to the U.K. just before the cut off date for flying pregnant. They stay in the U.K. with family or friends. Then suddenly itā€™s found theyā€™re too pregnant to fly home or they suddenly go into labour! They have the baby here in the U.K. for free! Then fly home with baby... The flights are far cheaper than the tens of thousands it costs on the American system. Our NHS is in trouble because of money, the government thinks Drs & Nurses grow on trees. Iā€™ve long been a supporter of tourists and non citizens needing health insurance to fly to the U.K. We Brits buy travel/medical insurance to pay if we fall ill abroad. So why donā€™t we charge foreigners who come here? But the ethos of the NHS is healthcare for EVERYONE and ANYONE But thatā€™s outdated, we are swamped far more than they estimated by ā€œHealth touristsā€ who come here to get free treatment. I love tourists, a lot of our country needs and thrives from tourism. But we do pay for our NHS, we work, we pay taxes, we pay NI (National Insurance). This goes to pay for healthcare and social security. I do not think itā€™s unreasonable for the NHS to start billing insurance for tourists. Itā€™s a massive problem that no one talks about.
    65
  1147. Not a fan of Rubin at all, and you pointed out many of the reasons why. Dude acts like he brings on people equally from both sides but he clearly doesnā€™t and even when he brings on someone very Left wing he still encourages them to shit on SJWā€™s. Laci Green is the perfect example...only wanted her to talk about how the FAR left smeared her and whatnot. Which he can get away with keeping the conversation there since sheā€™s not really deep into policies like Kyle Kulinksi, Seder, and David are. He doesnā€™t want them on because they can give solid takedowns of the Right and explain the positives to policies like Single Payer, NN, regulating Wall Street, legalizing weed, imposing he estate tax, etc. Iā€™m also tried as hell of his whole ā€œideasā€, ā€œopen dialogueā€ shtick. He talks so much about having these discussions but doesnā€™t actually contribute much to the discussion. Dodged questions about Trump throughout his Pakman interview, for example.
    65
  1148. I empathize with Ro, but I think this was a misstep. I hope he knows better next time how much progressives value his endorsements.
    65
  1149. Their argument appears to be only people that have never needed to reform in the first place. Who these pure as the driven snow pure people are no one knows.
    64
  1150. Dave, thanks for being, as always...rational!
    64
  1151. Thanks, David. I knew those bastards would try this up here once the US went down. Now it looks like they're starting early. Watch out around Christmas time. They may try to push this through when they think we aren't looking.
    64
  1152. Donating to Bernie right now!
    64
  1153. Ive always loved Bill Maher and still think heā€™s very smart and extremely funny. But HOLY FUCK has he gone full Neo Liberal. I donā€™t even watch his show any more.
    64
  1154. Canadians have the freedom that comes from not having to live a miserable life in a job that you hate with bosses you hate, for healthcare benefits.
    64
  1155. So Joy Reid was doing an interview with her boss?
    64
  1156. I enjoy your intelligent perspective. The DNC still thinks that, just because they won VA, their, ā€˜everything against trumpā€™ is working. Theyā€™ll take all the credit for every one of these wins, even the ones they had no hand in their winning. These winners won on their issues and actual platform.
    64
  1157. A welfare kid who turned his back on the very government and people who saved his family/
    64
  1158. Please take off the kid gloves with some of the dumber commenters. They somehow made getting a co sponsor on Bernie's bill a bad thing. Do they realize that in order for bills to pass, they will have to be sponsored by "establishment" politicians? Bernie, Nina Turner, and Tulsi Gabbard can not run the entire Congress (esp. Nina since she doesn't hold an office).
    64
  1159. I just found your channel 2 weeks ago and I have been binging all of your content. I don't always agree but I enjoy your points of view and helping to see different sides of the cube.
    64
  1160. In Wandsworth Labour won the popular vote by 1800 votes. The Tories won more seats but has fewer votes. Another 500 votes are Labour would have taken Wandsworth which has been in Tory hands for 40 years. How can that be a failure?
    64
  1161. Sanders/Turner 2020!
    63
  1162. Wow...look at that hate-filled moron go nuts! Never heard of Mr. Singh before this video, but bravo sir. You handled that idiot beautifully āœŠšŸæ
    63
  1163. I think we're at a dangerous point. Neoliberalism/corporatism has cut the foundations of civil society from under us, and the instability can tip one of two (or more) ways. Either we get the message through and take civil society back, or the oligarchs take advantage of the instability and install an openly authoritarian government "for our own good".
    63
  1164. Keep up the wonderful work David. much respect from boise idaho.
    63
  1165. Joe Scarborough conceded that Trump won because he lied about being populist. Asked if a true populist , Bernie Sanders could win, "oh my God no". That's Donald Trump level inconsistency. Has he lost his mind?
    63
  1166. I'm in Texas (Amarillo) and even though this is a Republican State, Beto signs are all over town. Beto came here and had a great turnout. I already voted by mail.
    63
  1167. This is such an important point to make, because Jimmy has a big audience and his unapologetic platforming of this group just because they claim to agree on some things is not just misleading, it's dangerous.
    63
  1168. We love our Bernie Sanders.
    63
  1169. Perfect reason why we need strong Unions for all Work places.
    63
  1170. I really hope Ammar Campa Najjar wins this district
    63
  1171. Does the police have an addiction to shooting unarmed black men?
    63
  1172. American here. There actually are a decent number of Americans who see where other countries are doing things better than us and who want change. Unfortunately not enough though. And many are completely misinformed and misled by the media and government seemingly intentionally. It's so sad, but so common how those at the top keep the rest of the population from doing anything in their own interest
    63
  1173. I remember when msnbc WAS somewhat progressive. I loved when Cenk went over there. That was when Rachel Maddow & Chris Hayes were so fucking progressive, speaking out against oil companies and banks. Remember Hubris? I stopped watching regularly when they cut Cenk and completely in 2015. I look to TYT, They Humanist Report, Secular Talk, your show and the Intercept for my main news sources. Thank you!
    63
  1174. Corporatists are nervous because Stephen Jaffe (a lawyer and Berniecrat) is primarying Pelosi. This is why the Democrats continue to attack Bernie and all his candidates. They don't want corporate Dems to lose their seats to Progressives. GOP has run for years on attacking everything Dems have done. Now? Dems are just attacking GOP without offering real solutions and get super fucking antsy when it comes to actual policy. Just like GOP wanted to "Repeal & Replace" but had no real alternative after 8 years, Dems want to fight AHCA but can't just say the words Medicare For All/ Single Payer because donors... Time to Repeal and Replace the whole lot of them. #BrandNewCongress
    62
  1175. Will Americans like you work in the mainsteam media? I guess never. The media in this country played a very dirty game against Jeremy Corbyn, but a lot people can see straight through their bulls*** now.
    62
  1176. they should replace her show with one for Nina Turner, I hated Greta's show...I would turn the chanel or go to the internet when her show came on
    62
  1177. "Piers Morgan, who nobody likes" šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚
    62
  1178. Elon Musk is donating to the GOP because they are doing everything he wants. They are busting unions and gutting the NLRB, cutting corporate taxes, and slashing taxes for high-earners. All three of those policy planks directly benefit Musk and his business.
    62
  1179. Yep, this is normal. You can't criticize anything on the left, but you can slam anyone on the right or anyone who disagrees with the left. This is what fairness is according to these types of people.
    62
  1180. Jeremy Corbyn is awesome. He'll make a great Prime Minister.
    62
  1181. I'm honestly just hearing about this and I'm surprised Mogadishu still suffers so much. Great job reporting this David
    62
  1182. She blames Hamas always for attacking, but even if you hate Hamas, many times in those offensives Israel attacked first. It is always irrefutable for these people to come with ā€œIsrael defends itselfā€, almost like a dogma now whenever thereā€™s something related to Israel, just like recent Syrian attacks when Israel attacked first, yet they always ā€œdefend themselvesā€. Yet no mention either of how Israel turned Gaza to be, the largest open air prison.
    62
  1183. I remember watching the Bernie Sanders fan's basically being kicked out of the Democrat convention for wearing his tee-shirts and hats. They were treated horribly and I was amazed to see that nobody said or did anything about it.
    62
  1184. Precisely. You penalize the corporations and the executives who continue to exploit the world, not the ground workers who have to do the labor and have little to no other choices. We defend those.
    62
  1185. 8:30. Corbyn - Delivering yet again another common sense, measured, rational response. Watch the BBC and the Conservative Party smear him. It's going to happen.
    62
  1186. This is so spot on, and I really appreciate it as someone who lives near NYC and works there a lot. The shrieks of "The city is falling apart!" started practically as soon as de Blasio finished being sworn in, and even a lot of liberals sing the same tune. None of that is to de Blasio's credit; he's pathetic, but not for any of the barely articulated reasons one usually hears. The city government's corporate-friendly consensus has barely changed in 40 years but, occasionally, a mayor will issue anemic and almost totally rhetorical challenges to that consensus. Cue outlandish backlash and promises to "get tough" and "clean up the city." In reality, everything continues to stay pretty much the same.
    62
  1187. I would LOVE to see Dr. Norman Finkelstein or Noam Chomsky on Real Time w/ Bill Maher. They would BOTH put Maher in his place. Notice how he has never invited either of them on his show tho ... lol!
    62
  1188. David - Your videos are the most well done & thought out political videos I have ever come across & I watch them all! TY so much
    62
  1189. It's amazing to me that FDR was arguably the last "far left" president, was the most popular president of all time and yet people still think that being a true left wing candidate won't work out and they won't do well.
    62
  1190. Fake news in an international problem. The Tories would be a dead party by now if the entire British media didn't campaign for them in every way possible every election cycle.
    62
  1191. All the nations that choose to see this as an attack without proof of such, deserve the same scrutiny showed to them when their necks are on the line. Without an investigation this is waging war without provocation, and all the nations that joined in on this should be ashamed.
    62
  1192. America is centre-left to far left. Even a lot of Republicans prefer Bernie Sanders.
    61
  1193. How were people in the 1980s brainwashed into thinking that greed is good? That never made any sense to me. Fucking Gordon Gecko lol
    61
  1194. As a female Muslim from Canada šŸ‡ØšŸ‡¦ šŸ™I appreciate you raising awareness Islamaphobia
    61
  1195. The old guard democrats are dinosaurs and will be extinct, but not soon enough. They are paid to be tone deaf like this. They talk about the republican corruption, but their corruption is just how things are done in D.C. and there is nothing wrong with the democratic political business model, in their eyes.
    61
  1196. It feels really nice listening to you going through what weā€™re all going through. We really need to hear sane people to feel connection and hope so thanks šŸ™
    61
  1197. This is why we have to be vigilant because Canada is heavily influenced by the conservative-right/corporatists in the U.S. You notice that these negative talking points about minimum wage and the misleading way that the Canadian media is reporting it, is very similar to the misrepresentation that is done by the American mainstream media.
    61
  1198. We gotta get this channel YUGE guys!!!! We need to let the neoliberals know that their ideology is not popular on the left anymore! Love your work David, whenever I'm feeling helpless, like my country will never change, I just go to your channel for some positive inspiration. We really can change the Democratic Party guys! It's not going to happen overnight, but with persistence, we can finally bring the Democratic Party back to it's roots i.e. "new deal" FDR Democrats, who not only push for social justice, but economic justice also. The Democratic Party used to be the party of the working class, let's bring it back!
    61
  1199. Someone should start a GoFundMe for this man or something.
    61
  1200. Thank you for adding another voice to the marketplace, David. I used to listen to Rubin's show and just kept waiting for him to give a voice to people with other points of view. I listened to his interviews of people like Shapiro and Milo (and others) but he just seems to be committed to allowing them to state whatever they want to without challenge and it seems disingenuous. As much as I don't like Seder's approach (his sarcasm always comes off as arrogance to me) I would like to see them talk to each other for entertainment's sake. Thank you for great content.
    61
  1201. German here. Can confirm, universal healthcareā€‹ is great! :)
    61
  1202. Very Sad. Ed was a good advocate for the middle class
    61
  1203. The rational national is one of my new favorite channels , he's like a Canadian kyle kulinski
    61
  1204. One of the beefs progressives have with that study is the author left out context, so going to him to get context probably is not the best idea. Oh Bernie and AOC made ā€œassumptionsā€? No. Like David said, they crunched the studyā€™s own numbers. The (educated) assumptions are that the study fails to account for other factors that would mean even bigger savings. And itā€™s rich that Tapper accuses Bernie and AOC of ignoring context, while heā€™s in the process of ignoring context and their whole mission here is to add context in terms of the current costs of the system and other projected savings that the Koch study left out. CNN is just afraid that their taxes might go up if Medicare For All is passed. And if progressives win on other issues as well. They want us to focus on nothing but Russia and Stormy Daniels and Omarosa, and they want us to forget about or oppose policies that would actually make our lives a whole lot better.
    61
  1205. I am so proud to be part of the 75% of youth who changed the game! CORBYN FOR THE WIN šŸ‡¬šŸ‡§šŸ’ŖšŸ½ Thank you for your refreshing and optimistic outlook, appreciate it!
    60
  1206. Iā€™m am not surprised that I get better coverage from you than from people who are at the summit of their industry...
    60
  1207. I had to double check that it wasn't someone acting as Joe Walsh. That was absolutely wild, he didn't even pause as he mentioned training kindergartners on mortar use.
    60
  1208. You know, I just LIKE you. The show is informative. Love to have an opportunity to learn. Keep up the good work!
    60
  1209. Dems have no backbone...
    60
  1210. I mean, what did they think they were getting? This is the woman who went on an angry rant about how Santa was definitely White.
    60
  1211. Just a bunch of cry babies. If the employees don't like it then roll up their sleeves and inherit a billion dollars like he did. Nothings free in this world for Christ's sake. You've got to get out and be born to the right family for it.
    60
  1212. Andrew Scheer is just the worst type of politician.
    60
  1213. I think that in Rubinā€™s heart of hearts he is a liberal (not a ā€œclassicalā€ liberal, but a real liberal). BUT he has hit upon a shtick that pays. And those that are paying are not liberals. Itā€™s all about the money.
    59
  1214. The results are disappointing, but honestly, I don't think 30% is that bad for a first time politician running against someone with all of Manchin's advantages. I hope she runs again; at least she's more name recognition the next time.
    59
  1215. On the topic of framing, you missed the perfect example. When she relented and was "willing to talk about Finland", she immediately tried to reframe around their relatively high tax rate, not what people are getting for their money, but rather just how much money it costs. Manufactured Consent live.
    59
  1216. This is exactly whatā€™s currently lacking, common sense! Thank you, Dave.
    59
  1217. Where are his supporters now, will anything he does change their minds? I swear people love to criticize the liberal party (for good reason no less), but this PC agenda is just more blatant corporatist bullshit
    59
  1218. Okay this is wild youā€™ve reported on like 3 stories in a row that I have stories about I went to high school in Okotoks Alberta, which is like 10 minutes away from the Cargill plant. Constantly, and I mean CONSTANTLY, you would hear stories about how poor the migrent workers there got treated. It was just common knowledge in both Okotoks and High River (where most of the workers live, High River is a bit closer) It was so bad that we used to joke about how the cows in the slaughterhouse were being treated better than the Filipino workers. Yeah. Solidarity with the striking workers, Iā€™m not in Okotoks right now but fuck Iā€™d love to go see them in person.
    59
  1219. Legalize it. Tax it. And regulate it. This is suppose to be a free country.
    59
  1220. Steven Crowder's response to this debate was hilarious.... he said Bernie was mean... what happened to facts not caring about your feelings? Such Bullsh*t, and they call us the snowflakes...
    59
  1221. I think people hesitate because these horrible people aren't openly horrible, you have to actually dig into things a bit and understand what a monster they are, so normal people who are just going about their lives don't generally want to make sweeping statements when they are also hearing the drip feed propaganda from the capitalists he served about how "great" Kissinger was
    59
  1222. Netflix has a Bobby for Prez doc on now! My hubby & I were watching it, and looked at each other & said, "Bobby's speeches sound EXACTLY like Bernie!? Well, that makes sense. He was a young guy when Bobby was running." Can MSM just STFU now? They are so brain-dead I can smell their putrid corpses from my living room.
    59
  1223. It was Trump that encouraged his supporters to attack protesters. It was a Trump supporter that brandished a gun at protesters who were literally just praying. It was a GOP congressman that punched a reporter and got elected anyway. It was far right Neo-Nazis that beat protesters and killed a woman in Charlottesville. It was three Trump supporters who planned to massacre Somali refugees in Kansas. When it comes to excusing or committing violence it shouldn't even need to be said that the right-wing far exceeds the left.
    59
  1224. Something that a lot of people don't know is that unionized grocery stores will purposely hire you as a part-time employee and say if you work hard enough we will make you a full-time employee. What they don't tell you is that they plan on keeping you as a part-time employee so that you can't actually get any of the benefits that a union offers aka retirement health coverage and other benefits of being in a union yet they still make you sign up for the union and make you pay union dues even though you never actually got to reap any of the rewards. My friend dealt with this very thing at a grocery store in Western New York.
    59
  1225. This is outrageous. I am increasing my Patreon contribution. I wish I could afford to do more to support your important work. Thanks for all you do. This censorship is ridiculous.
    59
  1226. Thanks for having me on!
    59
  1227. Totally agree that people will absolutely vote for politicians with whom they may disagree, just as long as they're perceived as honest and authentic. Por hemplor, Bernie Sanders in 2012 won his reelection with about 70% of the overall votes. Of these votes, about 25% were from conservatives, because they trust that Bernie will actually fight for what he says he believes in. Vermont was dotted with Bernie lawn signs planted right next to Romney signs, as Thom Hartmann likes to point out. We saw the same dynamic during Bernie's town hall meeting in West Virginia, where he got coal mining Trump voters to agree with him on single-payer, raising taxes on the rich, a living wage, and other policy positions that most Democrats tend to run away from, despite their being WILDLY popular across the political spectrum if you just frame the issues properly and honestly. But most Dems today are spineless Koch-sucking tools for the establishment. They clearly prioritize legalized bribes from special interests over actually winning elections, otherwise they'd already have adopted Bernie's model for success by now. #FuckTheDems #MoneyOutVotersIn #PublicServantsNotLeaders
    58
  1228. This massacre is a "distraction" to these people... Good job, Eddie... You have your priorities straight....
    58
  1229. Capitalism has outlived any semblance of usefulness. Corporations are legally obligated to maximize profits for their shareholders, and if they don't, they can sue the company. This means cutting costs on everything possible and paying the Lowest possible wages to workers. Some companies are better than others, and some are worse than others. An economic system should work for the people, not the other way around.
    58
  1230. Some things shouldn't be profit driven. News is one of them. It didn't used to be.
    58
  1231. Hey dave, notice some of the names on the letter to Clinton: Kristol, Rumsfeld, Elliot Abrams, John Bolton
    58
  1232. How everyone including AOC should be handling the question of do you think this is a genocide. Simply ask the interviewer to define genocide for you. Now the ball is in their court to define genocide without mentioning anything that describes what is going on in Gaza. Stop letting these people make themselves look like theyā€™re the sane ones. If youā€™re witnessing what youā€™re witnessing in Gaza and youā€™re still confused if this is a genocide or not then tell us what your definition of genocide is and watch yourself struggle to define it without using definitions that describe whatā€™s going on in Gaza
    58
  1233. Trump's voice on the humanist report sent me here... šŸ˜‰
    58
  1234. Finally!!!! Keep pushing progressives people. Letā€™s put them in office to make actual change prioritising working people and progressive agenda. Itā€™s time to change actual policies and move the world forward away from neo capitalism,liberals and conservatives.
    58
  1235. Dianne Feinstein policies are at best are those of moderate Republican . I think that Feinstein is a far right wing on economic issues and National Security. Another great video
    58
  1236. Bernie running for President really helped us.
    58
  1237. Thank you for teaching media literacy on top of everything else you cover!
    58
  1238. Great video!!! Max is telling the truth and that's why it's too much for it be aired by ESPN since they can stand to loose money behind his comments.
    58
  1239. Wow, an ad with no policy, no sources proving their points, and is just insulting and lacks any substance? This reminds me of Hillaryā€™s ads.
    58
  1240. Peterson realizes that protected groups of people is reasonable. Years after he rode to fame by mischaracterizing Bill C-16, which only added transgender people to the list of protected groups. He's not that smart, folks.
    58
  1241. I live in Colorado and my mother uses mushrooms once every few months to help with her depression. This is an incredibly great story as she feels like a criminal just trying to help her brain. I want to thank you for bringing some light to this, truly it means alot to me.
    58
  1242. Stand with the Teachers! Vote the issues, vote progressive, not parties!
    58
  1243. I watched that episode and the issue is not Joe not pushing back, he did it many times actually; the problem is that Peterson seems to be going crazy. He talks non sense after non sense, he makes up fake data and the climate argument in particular seems to be made by a demented man, not an academic. What he says about modelling is complete nonsense, and he should know it because he has some basic stats background. Even Joe seems concerned about Peterson train of thoughts at some point. Iā€™m afraid the illness really kicked him hard, he used to be more coherent.
    58
  1244. I love Secular Talk, Kyle the host mentioned you recently. Props. Please dig up and use more union news. More unions, less politicians.
    58
  1245. Walmart gets subsidies from the government, doesn't pay a living wage or for healthcare not to mention all the food people buy there using food stamps so there's more money, have huge tax breaks while being the richest family in America and their board members make millions and those are mick's cocktail party friends, while everyone else is supposed to pull themselves out of poverty while working full time. after that huge tax break given to these corporations they won't even raise the minimum wage to a living wage claiming it hurts small businesses. it's so frustrating. then people vilify people who use the programs instead of the corporations who are rolling in government help and living in the lap of luxury.

  1246. If i was an American he'd have my vote. One of the few rational, principled progressive hosts in cable news, at least until MSNBC's progressive purge. Be a great, refreshing voice in congress.
    58
  1247. This stuff has been headline news for weeks here, its a total smear attempt.
    58
  1248. And we already got to say "i told you so" when hillary lost to trump
    58
  1249. Thank you for posting this. Trying to make this go viral. Everyone pass this around.
    58
  1250. I dont usually comment, but I love your reporting always and hope that the algorithm lets this spread like wildfire. Amazing that South Africa is doing this with its history, redemption arc for sure
    58
  1251. You got a shout out from Kyle Kulinski on his video about Kristen Gilibrand and Cory Booker refusing PAC money btw
    58
  1252. Christine Pelosi also made a documentary about money in politics a while back. In it she interviewed big donors of both parties. She was also instrumental in getting Obamaā€™s DNC to ban donations from lobbyists and Corp PACS. That resolution was repealed last year.

  1253. Five bucks says Hillary is the one dislike
    57
  1254. Kurds are the heart of the middle east They have suffered several genocides and ethnic cleansing By Saddam by ISIS and now by the US government using Turkish military
    57
  1255. It's stories like this that make me proud of being a Canadian.
    57
  1256. Wow Bernie is being the adult here and that reminds me why I liked him to begin with. All substance, no drama.
    57
  1257. Thank you so much David for covering these news. It means a lot for us Colombians living in Canada.
    57
  1258. Damn that was a hardcore entry we need people like him and thanks for letting his word know
    57
  1259. Thank you. I hadnā€™t read any of the previous posts in question and I didnā€™t care to because I knew they were from a time when he was a conservative, he has always owned his prior views, and I know what his views are now. Now that I have seen one, if this is representative of the other comments, what the hell! I can totally hear him saying that and I know that it was a backhanded comment about himself and not actually about women. As a woman, I canā€™t even describe my feelings about what I hope is a change to the systematic discrimination/abuse of women in this country. However, there have been instances where I feel condemnation has been unwarranted and a definite (and I hate to use a trump term) witchhunt. You canā€™t take issue with every comment made in the past (and Iā€™m not talking about actual criminal action) especially if it is obvious that person no longer shares that view. This is definitely one of them. A hypocrite who believes one thing and says another and even those who have changed their talking points for monetary reasons is one thing. Someone who has grown, changed their views and now fights for a new cause has nothing in common with that. And Iā€™m not using the term ā€œgrownā€ to mean from a young person to an adult. The argument that he was 29 or so when he made the comments is irrelevant and stupid. It is personal growth which can happen when youā€™re 20 or 80. I feel the Justice Democrats were wrong and that they were untruthful in their comments. I think they were reacting out of fear. The cause is really starting to gain ground and I think they did not want to taint it with any controversy. However, I think theyā€™ve achieved the opposite. It definitely shouldā€™ve been addressed but in an honest less knee-jerk fashion. I still believe in the candidates and in Justice Democrats and will continue to support both. But I hope they will reassess and walk back their comments on Cenk. Theyā€™ve made an issue over what I feel is a non-issue.
    57
  1260. This was really disappointing from Jimmy Dore especially since he wasn't skeptical of the guy at all and didn't offer any challenge/pushback in his interview. I hope he learns from this
    57
  1261. From one David to another, I'm really impressed how you can keep a straight face when describing all of this foolishness.
    57
  1262. iā€™m honestly concerned for anybody that thinks they can go up against bernie sanders in 2020...why would they want to embarrass themselves like that in front of the whole country?
    57
  1263. Sorry to hear they demonetized you and Jimmy on that Gaza story. That makes no sense and it was a good story. You ever give any thought to promoting YouTube Red? I use it, and have some hope that it bypasses some of YouTube's amateurish algorhythms.
    57
  1264. He said "the media" on Fox News. This is a tactic. They will always pretend like every other network is mainstream while they are on mainstream fucking news.
    57
  1265. Wow! They sound exactly like state run media. I know, because I live in Malaysia, except for newspapers, neither a person nor a company can make or produce news on the television/cable, without the authorisation of the Malaysian government. That's why plenty of people now getting news from the internet and stopped watching television entirely. Keep the good work David. You are doing a great job!
    57
  1266. Lissa Lucas thank you for calling these rats! Vote Lissa Lucas in District 7!!! Lissa Lucas: https://lissalucas.com
    57
  1267. The same for Canada. When conservatives say we have long wait times itā€™s mostly false. And the price is right. Little or no charge. Everyone is covered. No one in Canada goes bankrupt because of health care. Thank goodness for universal health care. 90% of Canadians would never want the Americans approach to health care
    57
  1268. Every time I hear Peterson talk, Iā€™m stunned that he is has attained a professorship. His arguments are weak and full of logic holes. How did he ever do it? Iā€™d really appreciate having some kind of background on his dissertation. How has he got himself stuck in U of T is mind blowing.
    57
  1269. Many of us have been fighting this fight for 50 years. And itā€™s times like the past couple of weeks that keep us going. Hope never dies and in the end love alwaysā€”-always wins!
    57
  1270. Mika and Joe run the gamut from relatively sensible to blithering idiot, depending on the subject.
    57
  1271. I totally agree with you, David. If you can believe it, I wrote to Senator Susan Collins about my sexual assault experience in 1973 when I was a freshman in college and the man who was harassing me was none other than the director of admissions at this college. I told her about this because it is time to tell people that there are men out there in positions of power who think they can do anything they want to anyone they want. He used to stalk me in his car. I also told her that women back then usually did not come forward because they would not be believed. I admire Christine Blasey Ford for her courage and grace under fire, going up against a very potentially powerful man who has the same attitude that I have experienced. I would never paint men with a broad brush and believe that many would never act this way. No way that this man, though, should be on the Supreme Court.
    57
  1272. I'm 42 and there has never really been a liberal media in my lifetime.
    57
  1273. so she dismissed the woman who she claimed to be defending over being dismissed?
    57
  1274. I live in the UK and even I know about black face
    57
  1275. Quite funny how so many oppose welfare for the poorest of Americans, but think nothing of it when the same government officials want to cut humanitarian welfare yet give billions to corporate wefare
    57
  1276. This commentary is invaluable and needs to be heard far and wide.
    57
  1277. Our president, the four year old.
    56
  1278. David Doel, I am from Australia, originally from Afghanistan, by accident ran into your video a few months ago. I have been following your channel ever since. Your analysis of the issues are incredibly honest, thorough anf thoughtful. Your channel will grow big and keep doing the great work that you do.
    56
  1279. Good on her. I don't think we need to concern ourselves over questions of authenticity. What is important here is to take a look at her behavior: what is she voting for? Who is she supporting? Is it possible that this is a bait and switch? Sure. But that is a chance we will have to take. I would prefer someone that I know has a strong record of supporting progressive values and outcomes, but, if Gillibrand walks her talk there is no reason to drag her. There's plenty of other battles to fight.
    56
  1280. They don't cover it because P.R. is surrounded by big water, and MSM is surrounded by big oil.
    56
  1281. Great show, loved the analysis of identity politics vs real policy ISSUES!
    56
  1282. "Democrats could really run anybody in 2020 and likely win the election against Donald Trump." Not Hillary Clinton though...
    56
  1283. PTSD is going to be at insane rates in the future. I know people that go to the grocery store with their concealed weapon just in case an active shooter has the unfortunate mistake of crossing paths with them.
    56
  1284. Look at all the mean mad white men hating on this video! Love it. Peterson was made a complete fool of.
    56
  1285. Her concession was going well until she implored the voters to sabotage a NDP government. You're so right about your point in the way she was drawing false equivalencies. Fingers crossed for the NDP. (I'm not even Canadian, I just care about people over the northern border)
    56
  1286. We in the UK protested because the NHS will become to much like the US system if the policies of the right wing government we have continue.
    56
  1287. Good work you deserve more subscribers !
    56
  1288. Excellent. As always. As I have come to expect from you.
    56
  1289. One point that is not often if ever talked about is the fact that not only would it eliminate an individual's personal healthcare costs but that it would also have a major cost savings on Worker's Compensation. As a former construction company owner these costs are huge. For example in the extreme case, a steel worker costs $150 per every $100 of pay just to insure for injury on the job. So if say that person made $50,000 to employ it would cost the employer $75,000 in WC insurance per employee per year. Currently there are 140,000 steel workers in the US. Using these estimates WC costs the US steel industry 10.5 Billion annually! Worker's Comp covers wages as well so it's not a complete savings, but there is one more kicker. In the event that you actually need to use WC, the first thing the insurance company does is test you for marijuana and other drugs. If you pop positive they deny the claim and keep all your money!
    56
  1290. I've heard that nonsense phrase my entire life and yet have never seen any evidence of it whatsoever.
    56
  1291. The longer you put off repairing public buildings, the more it will cost in the long run because these schools will not repair themselves! It will only get worse!
    56
  1292. Notice how Bernie is the exact opposite of Trump, even with how he treats his family and work life.
    56
  1293. This one hits home as a native born Coloradan it sound like crow can harm Colorado in its time of need! We had a road repair fund that disappeared in our time of need this fund was to fix the roads and nothing else there was a hot year that should have made a surplus in that fund so when our road were in ruins i was outraged and was asking why our roads are in ruins! Our roads in the state of Colorado are still ruins today step down crow i don't trust you with Colorados livelihood any more exploitation of our tax dollars can push this state into ruins it only takes one rockslide or mudslide to break us when our fund are misused!
    56
  1294. I live near the plant in High River, Alberta where the strike is taking place. Cargill, the owner, did an appalling job handling a workplace covid outbreak in the spring of 2020. When a few cases were detected, the union wanted the plant closed until mitigating procedures could be implemented but the company refused; indeed, they required asymptomatic employees to report for work. The company even enticed people to come to work with $500.00 bonuses. One worker accepting the bonus died from covid. The government, of course, did nothing. Cargill subsequently ended up with almost 1,000 cases (the biggest workplace outbreak in North America) and then was forced to close. The workers there are perfectly right to strike.
    56
  1295. the era of Cenk, Dylan Ratigan, Rachel Maddow before she became a Russian shill, Keith Olbermann when he was still on point and not a Russian shill; yes, MSNBC used to be really good
    55
  1296. Thank you for sharing this clip of Eddie Glaude. His genuine concern for the victims combined with the horror he felt/feels about this slaughter brought tears to my eyes. More of this kind of clip PLEASE!
    55
  1297. I watched this debate in full today and enjoyed it immensely, except for the parts where I was yelling at the screen at Jordan Peterson's wimpering and pouts. Thank you for this excellent analysis. It's great to not feel alone in my response. Hopefully, my loved ones will begin to see what a weak and angry--and blind--man Jordan Peterson is under his fancy pants rhetoric.
    55
  1298. Holy shit! Not only was he left wing, but he was an atheist! A real American hero.
    55
  1299. Yes, I've said it for a long time. Peterson doesn't understand sociology. He thinks we live in a meritocracy, which is absurd.
    55
  1300. This was a strong & reasonable defense for Cenk's comments/sentiments, I just wonder why Cenk didn't use it. Also, having the relationship TyT had with the JD raised ethical questions, anyway.
    55
  1301. ā€œThis crap is too predictable.ā€ Thanks David, I needed this. šŸ˜‚ Btw awesome shirt! šŸ‘
    55
  1302. David, did you notice the confusion inherent in their discussion? Jack T's question included "too far left?" I wish Tammy D had made Jack T give a solid definition of what he meant. Did he mean that a candidate in the midwest cannot win if he supports higher pay and better working conditions for employees? Dare him to say that. Pound the microphone until somebody remembers that Trump said that our wages were too high. Ask which employees in the audience want to work more for less. Ask if he means whether a candidate should eliminate government and unions, the only institutions known that are powerful enough to force employers to pay the employees and provide safe working conditions. That kind of sharp clarity has been ignored for 50 years, and it's a main reason why we have suffered for the 40 years that we've had the reaganRevolution/neoliberalism. One last important semantic point: "Working class" is too unclear. All people work; "employees" is much clearer. Otherwise, people who don't get very dirty at their jobs will think that it doesn't mean them. As a matter of fact, I don't get dirty at my job, and I do wonder whether any candidate includes me in her political reform ideas.
    55
  1303. Lack of empathy is the problem, just as you said. The voice of the police officer sounded so callous. And people wonder why NFL players are protesting? Thank you for this report.
    55
  1304. Where was YouTube hiding this channel?! I have never even seen it before. Take it from a 25 year registered Independent who lives in Southern California, this is what the Democratic Party needs. Get the corrupt players out. Nice work. Subscribed. šŸ‘šŸ‘
    55
  1305. I'm Canadian living in Ottawa Canada. I've had health care my entire 61 years and I can't imagine not having it. Growing up I thought most countries had health care for all and would have never imagined the US did not. Totally mind blowing, WTF. As I looked more into the US system I started to realize the American people have been commoditized. Americans are duped and treated as a means to make money for the wealthy. From the day you are born to the day you die some organization is making money off you. It is truly disgusting what decades of irresponsible and manipulative governments have done, Obama included.
    55
  1306. Developmental psychologist here. It bugs me that he holds such an esteemed position as a clinical psychologist in thr Redpill circle. He has out right stated he wanted to use the right for clout on Rogans podcast. He avoids answering if he believes in God, presumably because he is using the base. He was not well liked in his academic career. He has a terrible word salad in every idea he espouses. All on top of being a homophobic, pseudo-machismo, bigot.
    55
  1307. You will NEVER get this kind of analysis and breakdown in the Corporate Media. This why The Rational National, The Humanist Report, The Jimmy Dore Show, The Real News and Secular Talk are at the top of my list for getting informative news.
    55
  1308. I'd rather have these kids making the policy than the bought politicians we have.
    55
  1309. I met her in real life at an early voting party in Charlotte. She did a great job, and anyone not feeling the bern when they attended sure did afterwards. It was a privilege to meet her before voting for the first time in my life. Huge props to her.
    54
  1310. I remember when Bill Burr went on Tony Hinchcliffe's podcast, "K-ll Tony" where they make fun of aspiring comedians. My respect for Bill went way up when he refused to make fun of the comedians and stood up for them. Instead, Burr offered advice and shat all over Tony's show šŸ˜‚
    54
  1311. What did Madeline Albright say? "There's a special place in hell for women who don't support other women", right? Can we get her to comment on this? Maybe it's the female intern's fault. She should've supported the First Female President and kept her mouth shut. EDIT: The comment is sarcastic and meant to show the hypocrisy of Clinton's (and Albright's) feminism. I do not support in any way, shape or form the idea that the female intern should've kept her mouth shut.
    54
  1312. This is why laugh or roll my eyes when a conservative says cooperations have a left wing bias. Like sure, they'll happily cave on social issues but economic, they're our worse enemy
    54
  1313. There is only a Corporate Media. MSNBC and CNN NEVER CRITICIZE The Military industrial Complex or the NEVER ending wars of intervention. They never discuss issues like Single Payer. They Colluded with The DNC and Hillary Campaigns to steal the 2016 Democratic Presidential primaries from Bernie Sanders. THEY ARE CORPORATE shills
    54
  1314. Bernie was and is usually, VERY kind to President Obamaā€™s. Considering that Pres Obama lead the democrats thru 8 years of neo liberalism that started w/ Bill Clinton, Bernie could have buried him, instead Bernie showed respect, restraint and strategic depth in the clip. #Bernie2020
    54
  1315. You deserve to have a larger audience. You are a great host.
    54
  1316. You go online for journalists who speak TRUTH to POWER. Amen, Brother David!
    54
  1317. Should have showed the last part where she threw in that Flint still doesnt have clean water.
    54
  1318. I think it's reasonable to be concerned over employers firing employees over political views, but I do think it's absolutely reasonable for Nazis to be fired due to the fact that it is far more than a political view. It is hatred for groups of people based on skin color or religion.
    54
  1319. The Rational National, you are on a roll lately with many of your videos. I think your video format and analysis is one of the best on YouTube. Keep doing what you're doing!
    54
  1320. Again....I've never seen an example of one of these "Bernie Bro" comments?????? Tons of stories---but not one comment. Go on to a Fox News youtube video and read those comments.
    54
  1321. Congrats David on your new show..you definately deserve it..I have and continue to learn so much from you since I discovered you since the election of THE IDIOT IN THE WHITE HOUSE, and for that I am eternally grateful to you!!! I wish for Mr. Doel, all the success in the world!!!
    54
  1322. Remember all those times Dr. King would fiercely denounce segregationists and klansmen, and then go and have a beer with them? No? Me neither.
    54
  1323. I just cracked up so hard. Good job and excellent commentary.
    54
  1324. I'm thrilled you referred to that Nation piece on Bernieā€™s tenure as mayor of Burlington. I know someone who was a resident of Burlington at that time and says he was "the real deal" and much admired.
    54
  1325. To protect and swerve is the best thumbnail ive seen in a minute, i rarely comment bc the comments are bad on yt but good job šŸ‘
    54
  1326. You remind me everyday why I should be subscribed to you. Bill Maher is a hack.
    53
  1327. DD, I watched it last night it was good. Thank you for giving the topic more exposure.
    53
  1328. The best thing is Stephen Fry laughing at Peterson after Dyson's excellent destruction of Peterson.
    53
  1329. The truth is a majority of Americans would vote for Bernie Sanders no matter what party he ran in. BERNIE 2020!
    53
  1330. Why is Ben Shapiro still around? I mean this guy just spews bullshit. I'm sorry, he is in the tank of Fox
    53
  1331. A powerful rich white man has no empathy for the experience of other people. Heā€™s like an articulate version of Trump. He seems to forget that 65% of millennials are living in poverty because of the damage his generation has done to this country.
    53
  1332. I live in upstate NY. I hate cuomo. Vote progressive
    53
  1333. Free speech means you can head to a public place and say whatever you want, you will not be arrested for any of it. Free speech does not mean we are obliged to provide to you a megaphone when you do so, let alone an internet platform to reach millions.
    53
  1334. Youtube transcribes your Beto as "Bitter O Rourke". Just sayin
    53
  1335. What a prat.Trudeau like Macron in France are nothing more than faux progressives.Scratch the veneer and underneath you'll find blood and tooth Neoliberalists.
    53
  1336. No individual should have that much money.
    53
  1337. Progressive politics resonate powerfully. We need to reject the democratic ā€œstrategists ā€œ who want us to focus on stormy daniels and non-policy (anti trump) issues. Keep nailing the establishment on ISSUES!
    53
  1338. I've said it before man but I appreciate you and thanks for never wasting a second of our time.
    53
  1339. His family made their fortune by running booze during the prohibition. He is a huge hypocrite.
    53
  1340. Thanks for advocating a mature and reasoned view of this problem, David.
    53
  1341. a minority government does not have a mandate. they have an obligation to work with other parties
    53
  1342. Poor Jen Kirkman. She will always be butthurt by Bernie Sanders. It's because deep down, Jen knows she's wrong. She is left no other choice but to block you. It's as if your argument goes away. LMFAO... Jen Kirkman keeps herself in her personal fantasyland while complaining about other people are living in fantasyland. Just Priceless.
    53
  1343. The elites are SHITTING themselves,the absolute smear campaign against Corbyn has been unbelievable,from the right AND the left.He's going to come down HARD on the corporations.Serves them right the greedy fucks.
    52
  1344. I love all your videos and it's actually kind of sad how we have to rely on YouTube to get our factual political news. Not that youtubers are clueless about what's going on in the political spectrum but that these progressive youtubers are actually a lot more concerned with the future of every American citizen than are Republicans and Democrats alike. Here, on the progressive side of the political YouTube, is where the truth lies! You want lies, fear-mongering, propaganda, and bullshit then turn the channel to CNN, MSNBC, FOX NEWS.....pfff... wanna hear a joke? Fox news.
    52
  1345. I live in the UK and helped out at a food bank today. The lady who runs it mentioned that she has nurses coming to accept food donations. How crazy is that! The Guardian's reporting is quite accurate, unfortunately. I'm not British and cannot vote for Corbyn, but I wish I could!
    52
  1346. He would've done better if It wasn't for the anti semetism smear
    52
  1347. I love you Bernie!!!!!!! I would go crazy too.... šŸ˜ā¤ā¤ā¤ā¤ā¤ā¤šŸ’–šŸ’—šŸ’ŸšŸ’žšŸ’“šŸ’™
    52
  1348. I agree with you. Why are they trying to get him to say something, go after him for what he is. Please explain why you think racist people should be in the military. How will that help? Why are you in support of racist individuals having access to weapons and military training? Ask him those questions based on what he said, not give him opportunity to walk back a stupid comment.
    52
  1349. I just love how unapologetic Michelle Wolf was and is about her set... it is absolutely amazing and pathetic conservatives still have the audacity to still think they have the grounds to still feign outrage while defending the visual crumbling of their already transparent family values platform with people like Trump, and Roy Moore, and the destruction of the working class with their tax plan. But Wolf is right... the GOP is handing Democrats a guaranteed blue wave in November and somehow they still can't help themselves and just mess it up
    52
  1350. The fact that she spend the whole day tweeting about the royal engagement pretty much says everything about the type of person Joy Reid is.
    52
  1351. "if I still worked" says it all.
    52
  1352. I am already so tired of hearing about Kamala Harris! She didn't prosecute Mnuchin and she took his money. She is compromised, and the fact that HRC donors are already touting her just proves it further.
    52
  1353. One thing I would have to say, whenI saw Ice Cube explaining to Bill Maher why you cannot use the N word, and he tried his best not to crack or interrupt, it sounds like he lacks the capability of understanding what the First Amendment entails, and part of that involves the freedom to dissent. He is basically advocating a sense of privilege in his own mindset that accountability should not happen to him, which is highly anti-intellectual.
    52
  1354. Ah, this is great analysis... Always read the fine print.
    52
  1355. So Joe Biden says "We decided we were going to change the world --and we did." Firstly, to the extent that you guys helped increase diversity, pushed the women's movement, helped fight at least somewhat against US wars, and so forth --for that I am grateful. You all wanted to change the world? You did, but far more than making an equal rights world (for that you needed our help, by-the-by), the number one success, the crowning-jewel of your generation was the erection of the neoliberal order. But don't you fucking deny the devastation caused by neoliberalism, and the other lingering horseshit, like global warming, that has been thrown at my generation's feet. And then don't FUCKING DATE DENY that your generation is our number one opponent in us accomplishing our goals. Just look at who voted for Trump, buddy. And that's setting aside the fact that assholes like him personally profited from it and were involved with maintaining the wealth of the neoliberal elite. I'm sorry, but I'm not overwhelmingly interested in listening to Biden tell me that he has "no empathy" for my generation. Honestly, what a fucking asshole.
    52
  1356. In all the controversy surrounding these strikes, and others in the past, is the actual cost of each missile fired. From what I've read, Tomahawk missiles were used, each with a unit cost of almost US$500,000. Over 100 missiles were deployed, which means the cost of this strike was in the region of $50 million. That's a conservative estimate. Just imagine what that money could have been spent on? Poverty, homelessness, roads, bridges, libraries, hospitals, schools ... It makes you weep.
    52
  1357. Best part: ā€œAHA! Reclaiming my time!ā€ šŸ˜† I sent my mom this vid because sheā€™s a lifelong republican whoā€™s pretty upset about the tax bill. She replied, ā€œItā€™s hard to admit that I may have been fooled into voting for the wrong people my entire life. I can see why you feel so strongly about Senators Sanders & Warren. I wish they would form their own party. I would vote for them.ā€ My response, ā€œWelcome to the progressive movement Mom.ā€

  1358. Why do so many people downplay the intelligence of kids? "They're just teenagers..." They are human beings with feelings who understand more of what's going on than adults give them credit for. They have ideas and they have the courage to take action.
    52
  1359. And THATā€™s why I love this channel. I have such admiration for these women, nothing ticks me off like seeing a citizen silenced by her own elected representatives ā€” and the fact that itā€™s always men in positions of power silencing women speaks volumes in light of the #metoo movement. She deserves the poetic justice of having her story (& her speech) heard by the masses. Despite the notable lack of attention it has received from the MSM, I knew youā€™d still be on top of it. THANK YOU DAVID! šŸ‘ ā€œShe was silenced, but nevertheless she persisted.ā€ Damn right!
    52
  1360. I was once a fan of Rubin as well, and agree with much of his free speech rhetoric, but he fits in so well with so many of his intolerant and hateful guests. When he says 'classic liberal', it reminds me of Canadians who use the term 'old stock Canadian'. In theory, classic liberalism sounds fine, but in practice it seems to be a sort of code for certain types of bigotry.
    52
  1361. Most people still don't understand UBI or don't want to admit the future will be almost fully automated and with too many people for too few jobs. She's not there yet, but she'll get there. Most people will. I just hope it's not too late when most people do accept the necessity for UBI.
    52
  1362. This has become my favourite progressive channel.
    52
  1363. Congrats to 30k subscribers, brother! Keep up the great work and let truth ring!
    52
  1364. Shocked I am. Shocked! I'm in health care in Ontario. We are bracing for savage cuts in April at a time of massive work overload. I am so happy I am close to retirement. Austerity for All but his Bros Ford is a nightmare
    52
  1365. Bernie is going to be our next president in 2020. He is the most popular politician right now in this country. Still feeling the Bern after 2 years and no medicine can put it out.
    52
  1366. Regardless of which political leaning you are in the uk we all agree that the NHS is the best thing in Britain.
    51
  1367. Unrelated topic.. Cant believe you are about to hit 100K subs man. I pass my congratulations to you for the hard work you are putting in. All the best in what you do and I always enjoy your videos, been here since 1K subs.
    51
  1368. Even worse you hear the others in the back agreeing. They are such a joke
    51
  1369. Ben ā€œ Cut Social Security, Medicare, increase Military Spendingā€ Shapiro
    51
  1370. I've been a little obsessed with Anand lately. I'm listening to his book for a second time at work and listening to his videos on my rides to and from work. He has such a great way of taking complicated concepts and making them so easy for everyone to understand. He let's us know the system is rigged and the way to unrig it is to punch UP, no out or down. Such a great citizen.
    51
  1371. Doug Ford has no clue how things work but the guy is an intellectual light weight, so no surprise there. He did not go to university and inherited his wealth, just like Trump. He is not fit lead the province because he has no clue how complicated it really is. I think NDP is a real alternative now!
    51
  1372. I actually cried a little, yet you will have stupid cretins claim that she is asking for a handout. This is such BS!
    51
  1373. I cannot understand why so many Clintonistas hate people like Sarandon so much more than they despise Trump. They blame Susan Sarandon for the election results more than they blame Clinton herself. I wish we lived in a world where Sarandon had that much power.
    51
  1374. David is one of the best commentators out there.
    51
  1375. I can't tell you how many times I've referred to Bobby when gleaming with joy about Bernie. Great job with this clip David!
    51
  1376. American political ads are so funny to us in the UK!! I think David's analysis is excellent. You should have way more subscribers, but climbing all the time.
    51
  1377. If only the centrists fought Republicans as well as they fought progressives.
    51
  1378. Phil Donahue was calling Bush out on the Iraq war. He was quietly removed. This was long before Griffin. MSNBC tries to set itself as the limit for how far left S media can go.
    51
  1379. I loved this segment. Literally just did a presentation about the ACA & the after-effect today. In America, rationing always seems to fall down to which social aid programs will get cut first (yet they always manage to increase defense funding). Congress should consider NOT cutting taxes on the wealthy during a period of stable economic growth when theyā€™re already making money. The system is a rich spiderā€™s tangled web of middle class income, labor, & consumption.
    51
  1380. I watched a news clip yesterday of mid-west US steel workers being put out of work by the latest tariffs, and the Trump voters among them still tried very hard to excuse Trump, I think it's because, in part, they don't want to lose the little bit of hope that they currently have. They are like an AA member's drinking buddies who don't want to admit that he's a drunk, because they have been drinking with him the whole time and don't want to have to assess their own habits. If the steel-workers admit that Trump is a liar, then they have to admit that they were duped and might still lose everything. I think that they would prefer to believe that Trump has a strategy, and that they are in too deep to admit that he's just a privileged, racist fool who doesn't care about them, or the general state of his country. It's a tough state of mind to break free from, or to talk someone out of, much like the habits that can come from depression and anxiety, in fact.
    51
  1381. there are two trans women that come in to where I work, regularly.I treat them the same way I treat everybody else. there's one of them that absolutely loves to wear the color purple. it just so happens that that is my favorite color. so I comment on things that she wears whenever I see her and we have great conversations. her friend is very nice and polite and we talk about just about everything every time they come through my line. then they leave and I go back to my job just as I would if they were anyone else. what makes me sad is our first encounter was a little uncomfortable because they didn't relax until they realized I wasn't going to attack them. they should never have that fear. it is a conscious choice to either be nice or not nice to other human beings that you encounter in your life. personally, I don't quite understand all the trans issues. I don't have to. what they want to do with their life is none of my business. I don't waste my time worrying whether or not they're going to meet any of my family and convince them to be trans because that just isn't how it works. I don't worry that their molesting children because again, thats not a thing. the people worried about such things, need to be looking inward. how you treat others is a reflection of how you feel about yourself.
    51
  1382. And this is why among all the politicians, Bernie is the only one Ā that I'm going to vote for regardless what party he's in because I know he'll do right by the people. Unlike most of the other drones out there who vote for parties they only vote for the party and not the individuals and I think that's been the whole problem with this country. Ā Most have only been following what the party itself stands for Ā and not even paying attention to what the Ā individuals within the party stand for Ā and since Bernie lost the primary I Turn To Third parties cuz the views of third-party candidates were nothing like the views of the main two party candidates. Ā If there was a choice of two evils and it was an option to choose someone that isn't evil I will pick them any day of the week
    51
  1383. Peterson is a proven liar (bill c-16) and ignorant when outside his field of study. He simply cashes in on stupid boys who think feminism is the enemy and are impressed by nonsense wrapped in word salad.
    51
  1384. I think you convinced me to go with Niki Ashton. I was more on the Jagmeet camp, but honestly he comes off as pretty fake and very Trudeau/Obama like. Let's just hope the NDP actually rises up from the stagnation its suffered over the years.
    51
  1385. He missed the wedding because he cares more about his work than the wedding. Period. He started this and he can manage it however he wants. If he wants to hire more management people and work less and still pay himself an insanely large salary, he can do that, and not miss more weddings or bdays or whatever. This whole thing is silly. We all feel sad or stressed sometimes, and obviously rich people can feel that too, but theyā€™re the only ones who can tailor the rest of their life around handling their sadness/stress. If my job makes me stressed, I canā€™t just stop going cause I have a 350 year emergency fund in my bank account. Good video.
    51
  1386. This.....this sums up the state of western feminism. A Neoliberal in a position of power, lecturing an actual woman to make sure she uses the correct pronouns while actually doing dick all for them.
    51
  1387. I remember when my generation did try to change things with OWS. I also remember how the Obama administration crushed those protests all across the country. I remember how Obama allowed militarized police to crack down on protesters in Ferguson. I remember how a girl nearly had her arm blown off when a concussion grenade was thrown towards her at Standing Rock. I wish people would protest these wars and I'm an Afghan vet. I wish people would question the Post 9/11 system. If we were smart we would get involved; in sending you and the rest of you corrupt politicians to jail
    51
  1388. Tolerating intolerance, legitimizes intolerance.
    51
  1389. Your channel has pretty much become essential viewing for Progressive commentary for me. Oh and congrats on the big shout out from Kyle over at Secular Talk, that was awesome.
    51
  1390. Barbara Lee! How could I forget about her? Damn you are sharp David.
    51
  1391. It seems as soon as the shoe is on the other foot, the anti PC guys become very PC suddenly... when people like Milo yianoppolis, Candace Owens, Steven crowder, etc go to college campuses and throw around insults, they applaud. JP gets called mean and itā€™s the end of the world. Steven crowder heard the word autistic and nearly lost his mind. Candace Owens debated a trans woman and couldnā€™t stop calling her a man. Lol you guys are all a joke.
    51
  1392. TBH I was apart of the progressives who thought that going 3rd party was the best idea to push our message, but I was wrong. We're moving slowly but surely to reach our goal. Also I hope they also prove me wrong on the Democratic party corrupting our young progressives. I hope the opposite happens. Purify the Dems!!!!
    51
  1393. Looks like Canada needs a Bernie Sanders. Tredeau is Canada's Obama.
    50
  1394. What's the point of having the leader-to-leader questions if the candidates are allowed to blatantly ignore the question? Shouldn't a moderator be there to force the candidates to actually respect the process?
    50
  1395. I love how the mainstream media is pushing a leftest agenda yet every time I see mainstream broadcasts it's pundits asking right wingers what their opinions are. How many times are progressives asked on shows to give their opinions? I have to listen to the right constantly but i have to go to alternative media to hear a progressive.
    50
  1396. I love the comments that are like "I don't like TYT but Ana was great". You're part of the problem she mentioned: you only bother to watch when there is a "catfight" or dramz. Ana is a great host and when cenk gets a little too bullish, she still makes sure to get her pov in. Her Jacobin show is great, glad she continues it despite Michael Brooks no longer with her (it was their show). If you like Ana, respect her,support her work. It's like Dr Rashad on TYT. The man is amazing. Support it.
    50
  1397. David is hands down destroys the centrists and stupid right ringers phoney arguments all with great shirts! Fear the progressive wrath!
    50
  1398. .... thank you...Ā I neverheardĀ ANYONE say that.. it was always "stop complaining" "whaa you have no real problems." all I can think now is "who hurt these people?" good story man. I'm glad that kid is safe at home. I can't believe 10 vessels passed him.
    50
  1399. Seems like this guy feeds on identity politics by bashing it, much like Candice Owens. Its their identity that makes them relevant to the discussion. Without the identity discussion, they have nothing, so they to make up stuff to stay relevant. Bottom feeders.
    50
  1400. Life expectancy in Canada almost 3 years longer than the USA. Life expectancy in the UK 2 years longer than the USA. Could they both be improved definitely. To be more like the USA not likely. Canada and the UK life expectancy rose last year USA dropped. If I was doing worse than someone else at something I would try to learn from them not tell them to be more like me.
    50
  1401. As a lifelong Thousand Oaks resident and frequent viewer of your show, thank you for covering the shooting. Iā€™ve always been afraid that this could happen, but I guess I thought it probably never would. Thousand Oaks is a city of 130,000+ people, often with only 1 or 2 murders a year, if any. I live in one of the safest cities in the country. If it can happen here, it can happen anywhere. Itā€™s different when it happens at your front doorstep, when you recognize the name of one of the victims.
    50
  1402. SAPs are modern day colonialism, and nothing short. Canada's extractive industries are especially guilty of abusing these around the world. Thanks for focusing on this underreported aspect of injustice David.
    50
  1403. As a Canadian who tries to follow this stuff, I simply cannot wrap my brain around stupid things like arming teachers and such. It's too alien to me. I grew up with guns, before many of the current lock-up regs were in effect, and I don't recall most of my peers and neighbours having the sort of gun fetishism that many in the US have. Gun nuts in Canada are generally shunned as extremists by the sane people who enjoy a membership in a gun club. It's so difficult to listen to US media and US people in general on this subject. They just don't seem to comprehend that they are the only people on the planet who behave this way as a society. It's so difficult to watch them suffer in ignorance and fear.
    50
  1404. I love love love the maturity on your arguments, comments. I have been watching your videos for awhile. You have definitely been improving over time. Keep on the great workšŸ‘šŸ˜Š
    50
  1405. You've quickly become one of my favorite lefty news commentators alongside Kyle Kulinsky. You and Kyle are the most reasonable and analyze information the best, in my opinion.
    50
  1406. thank you for showing us what Canada's Hate Speech Law is. I believe we need laws like this in the US. And I keep wondering how tRump can incite violence against reporters and NOT be arrested. I understand why he is not censored by the rethuglican congress that bow and scrape to him. But I was told no person is above the law and I fail to see how the orange ones speech is not incitement to riot.
    50
  1407. Please guys, get rid of this guy, you deserve better, don't become America.
    50
  1408. Joe Kennedy is for criminalizing marijuana and Kamala Harris supports ICE. Once a prosecutor always a prosecutor and they will NEVER get my vote
    50
  1409. Thank you for making me feel better about the results. We should also remember how many times Bernie lost before he got elected to office.
    50
  1410. Where I live there is a lot of natives, my fellow white men like to complain about the native's getting tax breaks and not needing a fishing license and bs like that. So ask them if they would like to trade places with them, it shuts them up, they all know they are far better off because they are white.
    50
  1411. When did people start thinking that free speech means an entitlement to someone else's platform and the ability to say anything without facing any negative repercussions? When you say something reprehensible, then naturally some people will avoid being associated with you whether its friends, or corporate sponsors. Freedoms come with responsibilities, which is an idea adults should be familiar with.
    50
  1412. Omg did he just Canadian values this argument??? How disconnected is this man! You know what else is against Canadian values? Selling weapons to Saudi Arabia who is currently committing Yemeni genocide, terrorizing First Nation groups and forcing pipelines onto their land, the atrocities committed in gaza. Unbelievably short sighted response from the prime minister
    49
  1413. telesur is back. alex jones can suck it still have a problem with mainstream media forcing tech companies to bend to their whims.
    49
  1414. Just blame Obama, good enough for the cultist
    49
  1415. Finally. Been waiting for you to take off the gloves, David lol. Keep it up.
    49
  1416. You should have also pointed out that Shapiro is a Koch hack! His education and career has been funded by Kochā€™s :)
    49
  1417. I realized that MSM outrage over Michelle Wolf is because she called them out for creating the monster that is Trump & for continuing to shamelessly profit from reporting, ad nauseum, on his antics (at the expense of our democracy). Meanwhile, who's reporting on Flint, Puerto Rico, etc etc..?
    49
  1418. I think Van was genuinely hurt. He probably at one point looked up to Kanye. Also thanks for explaining the difference between white privilege and class privilege because people try to conflate the two.
    49
  1419. Happy 420 The Rational National!
    49
  1420. It appears that the followers of Jordan Peterson and Sam Harris just trawl YouTube for videos that are critical towards them just to give them a thumbs down.
    49
  1421. David you would never understand because you have a conscience.
    49
  1422. So worth the patreon money. Thanks David!
    49
  1423. I worked for 13 years in medical research publishing. This is not a new thing. When logging the Dr./author's information into the computer system for manuscripts, all government funding must be listed. Almost EVERY manuscript has some form of government funding. And keep in mind that these pharmaceutical companies are multinational. So they get funding from multiple countries. Yet the patent belongs to the private company. They make all of the money while the US funds so much of it. This has been going on for years.
    49
  1424. Well done David! This is the best recap of this issue I've seen so far.
    49
  1425. Sure I sell weapons to Saudi Arabia, but have you checked out my gender neutral cabinet recently ?
    49
  1426. Thanks again for having me on! Always great to chat!
    49
  1427. The point of secularism is that even if he was a muslim it shouldn't matter.
    49
  1428. So much talk about "humanitarian aid" yet Republicans care not about healthcare for the poor and chronically sicked.
    49
  1429. Mission accomplished. There's no "left" left on MSNBC.
    49
  1430. Dave, your comments starting at 5:17 about moderates were very powerful. I hope you and others continue to emphasize these points in the future because you're absolutely correct.
    49
  1431. Hasnā€™t he been accused of beating two of his wives? Iā€™m pretty sure he has no moral compass
    49
  1432. He's going to pass all the bills, a tremendous amount of bills you wouldn't believe šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚
    49
  1433. like clockwork, Ben Shapiro is on the wrong side of history yet again
    49
  1434. Bernie Sanders was fighting for what most Americans want, medicare for all, help in getting infrastructure taken care of, raising minimum wage, he is on the side of most Americans. We don't want corporate dems. We want people like Bernie. We want progressives.
    49
  1435. It probably works by making people take a nap and staying home! šŸ˜‚
    49
  1436. Nina is amazing. The responses by the DNC and corp media is so disappointing. Excellent report, thanks for sharing!
    48
  1437. With out nhs my family would be poor and I would probably be dead as it is very expensive to treat my illness and I need a lot of medicine
    48
  1438. I'm sorry--is Ezra Klein a fucking idiot? Bernie Sanders should have pushed the Medicare-for-All bill back because the GOP will make it look bad? Talk about reaching. We know that Americans - especially conservatives, but "moderates" as well - like to play this game in which they pretend that no other developed countries exist when trying to defend their failed policies, from (formerly) marriage equality to law enforcement/drug policy to education to, of course, health care. But even within that framework, there are no credible arguments against single-payer in America right now. None. I've read them. I've heard them. They all suck. The closest to a credible case against Medicare-for-All/single-payer involves concerns over the cost and taxes such a system might incur...but then one sees that Trump and Congress just inflated military spending by another $80 billion no questions asked and one realises it's all a load of crock. TL;DR: Ezra Klein is a fucking idiot.
    48
  1439. Joy Behar go on chapo
    48
  1440. Jeff Bezos could pay his workers an amazing wage and still be one of the world's wealthiest people but would rather use his "lottery winnings" (his words) to plan a personal trip into space. In short, Jeff Bezos is a real dick.
    48
  1441. I'm commenting before watching this video, Because David tends to reel me in, So if I'm out of order i'm sorry, Having said all that.. I loved this. Like that lady was yelling for all of us. I wish i was there lol. The best line was "In a Mexican restaurant of all places?!" She was awesome:D. I know it's not really cool to carry on that way, but fuck it felt good:D Edit: Go out there and do this because it's what creates change.
    48
  1442. Youā€™re correct David, theyā€™re not interested in true debate, just raising their own profiles. And profits. And it doesnā€™t matter. Even if they did accept and get crushed there would be a bunch of vids from the right-wing channels titled ā€œBen Shapiro DESTROYS Left Wing IDIOTā€. And Fox, Briebart et al would find a way to report it in a completely disingenuous manner. Or ignore it.
    48
  1443. Iā€™m beginning to notice that Peterson is always strawmanning the argument in his responses. Especially in this conversation.
    48
  1444. Conservatives are the most Orwellian type of people, their policies help corporations and the wealthy, but they message like theyā€™re for small businesses and middle class
    48
  1445. Itā€™s amazing that a Canadian citizen knows more about US politics than most US citizens. The majority here have never even heard of Justin Trudeau. Keep up the good work David šŸ‘šŸ‘šŸ‘
    48
  1446. I never realized Canadians grew up listening to country lol.
    48
  1447. Thank you for tearing apart Ben Shapiro's argument. He's painfully obnoxious and obtuse so it's a dirty job. Thanks for stepping up to that.
    48
  1448. "Make me audition" and "you look like clowns." Really? It may well be that the deal in question was bad. Most "affordable housing" plans are. But nothing in his attitude or comments suggests that he was pushing for better solutions. This clip certainly isn't the whole story, but whatever we don't know yet about it, the national situation of overpriced housing for undercompensated workers is appalling. And Chappelle here doesn't seem to be using his fame as a platform to help.
    48
  1449. volunteering at the rally on Saturday šŸ”„
    48
  1450. I totally agree. Thanks for the useful commentary. Peace!
    48
  1451. Poor Peterson. Got destroyed by facts.

  1452. CPR canā€™t fix bullet holes

  1454. David, I am 51, living in the UK, my children are aged 23 and 18. Most of the young people are incredibly politically active. In my life, Jeremy Corbyn is the first politician in my voting life that I support whole heartedly, the younger generation are educating others, getting them registering to vote, it's so inspiring. I highly recommend everyone who wants to change the way our governments work, please watch David Cay Johnston's talk promoting his book. He is an entertaining speaker, but it's not all about Trump. He explains how to organise and motivate voters, to get our governments to work for us. They are supposed to be public servants, working for their constituents, not the Koch brothers, the disgusting Mercers , the NRA and Wall Street. I can't put the link for some reason, but I felt positive and hopeful after watching it. I love the picture of Bernie. He exudes empathy, he is the real deal. You are doing a bang up job, David! An exciting change is in the air! šŸ˜
    48
  1455. I support Beto O'Rourke any day over Rafael Cruz.
    48
  1456. I have tears streaming down my facing listening to the bereaved dad. You were right to say that if you don't feel anything, get help. I lost a child suddenly, too. There are no words to describe how it feels . The US needs to get rid of their guns. It's that simple.
    48
  1457. Seriously? I agree with your analysis, David, especially as a feminist who happens to love to wear pink. Thanks for the video. (Shame on you, Joan Walsh.)
    47
  1458. The left eating itself again. The NDP leadership chomping at the bit to eat one of their own to score media points. Of course it doesn't "look good" but stripping one of the most leftist voices from power shows how weak the party is to liberal narratives.
    47
  1459. Decent people who care about others who want to save lives!!!
    47
  1460. Cuomo is a flawed journalist, but he appears to have seen the light somewhat on this subject. Any apparently honest enlightenment from any source should be applauded, in my opinion.
    47
  1461. I remember the boycott against Maher well; I watched Politically Incorrect regularly and watched Real Time regularly until Maher's pro-Clinton rhetoric during the Democratic primaries became too much to stomach. Anyway, as much as I disagreed with Politically Incorrect's sponsors pulling their ads from the show, I never attacked the people who called for that boycott. That's what it means to live in a free society. They expressed their views and the sponsors (unfortunately) chose to side with them rather than stand behind Maher.
    47
  1462. As someone how is living at a university right now and it's heavily involved by politics, this "issue" that Maher and people like him keep going on about simply doesn't exist. There is no stifling of speech, everyone shares there thoughts all the time. Using Charles Murray as an example, he is a fool who's work has been totally discredited by actual researchers in that field so why should our tution be used to pay for a random fool to come blab
    47
  1463. The Most Ambitious Crossover of the Year! Also, I watch both the Rational National and the Humanist Report. Thank you to both of you for introducing me to interesting news in politics!
    47
  1464. Not a savvy move by the NDP. There are always exceptions to mandates, laws and life, and a seriously ill relative is one of them. At most a public reprimand for not reporting to the Party her intentions beforehand would have sufficed. Now they have shaken their voters beliefs in the Party's willingness to stand behind their own members, like mine. Ashton is too valuable to lose with this submission to corporate media pressure. Wise-up NDP, many of your supporters are not happy with this failure in optics and ethics.
    47
  1465. You just got yourself a new subscriber! Just went through a lot of your vids. I likey!!
    47
  1466. I would put the bulk of the blame on the leaders of these companies. They are so obsessed with the image of themselves as titans of industry that they choose growth over everything else. That is why they don't take salaries and think their personal charity makes them good people. And most people fall for that so it works. But some of the blame has to lie on us as customers. I cancelled my prime membership and AWS because I don't want any part in this sickness. For me, it was easy because I wasn't too invested like with the evil bank that I can't seem to break up with.
    47
  1467. The BEST video I've seen on all this, so far (except maybe tied with Emma's acknowledgement of the situation) ā¤ I will never not hype up your channel to everyone I know. I also recently said you're probably so rational because you're Canadian šŸ˜‚
    47
  1468. This helps explain why the Democrats lost seats at every level of government.
    47
  1469. Iā€™ve been a volunteer for the Bernie Sanders Campaign since June and all we focus on is spreading Bernieā€™s progressive message so that we can motivate voters.
    47
  1470. I am so glad I found this channel.
    47
  1471. Trans guy here. 46, came out 1.5 years ago. What is sooooo mind-numbingly exhausting is hearing from friends and family (and society) how hard this all is for them. Explanation after explanation on why and when they are allowed to use the old name and pronouns, how hard it is for them to see changes in my body, how I don't understand what it's like for them! And acting like I'm the assh---le when I explain how their actions and words impact me. My mother just the other day, when I took a firm stance on her continuing pronoun/name issues and her consistent anger at even the most polite correction, told me I was becoming one of those "mean trans people." People act like this is such a big deal. And it is. Because they make it a big deal!
    47
  1472. I have listened to the arguments of most progressive channels and so far you and Ben Dixon are the only ones that make sense. Private companies and institutions reserve the right to serve someone based on their rules. And this is what Alex Jones did. He broke the YouTube rules and now he is out. If I violated the rules of my job... I would be expelled/fired too. I am with you on this David.
    47
  1473. A celebrity who isn't a buffoon and actually cares about the plebeians. I must be dreaming.
    47
  1474. The right has NOTHING, they can't claim they did ANYTHING good to help people, or humanity as a whole in any way. The left does, and that is something the right can never take away.
    47
  1475. I mean, if she was vocal about the metoo campaign I think she knows people would slaughter her over her husband's past actions, hah, I'm guessing that's a big reason why she is steering clear.
    47
  1476. David Doel, this video is one of the most important releases from you or anyone concerning Sen. Sanders campaign. You and Christo opened my eyes to some things I haven't thought about before. Thanx for having him on! I'm heading to Iowa with more information on how far reaching this is. Bernie 2020.
    47
  1477. Bill Maher, at one time a respectable dissident, has sunk into the quicksand of neoliberalism and American supremacy.
    46
  1478. David, don't let the Musky fan boys tell you otherwise. This guy needs to be exposed and what's possibly happening with him dealing with the Saudis for funding is far from the ethical brand of humanitarian capitalism he pretends to promote.
    46
  1479. In America, you can be shot dead in your own backyard without committing any crimes... This story is unfortunate... But it's nothing groundbreaking.... I shouldn't be used to stories like this, but I am...
    46
  1480. Socialism: people over profits. This shit would not happen under socialism. Under socialism, everyone who can work, gets a job. They get food, water, shelter, and all other necessities needed to live a decent life. All who can no longer work receive social security and welfare to live a decent life at least.
    46
  1481. Im Puerto Rican and this is sad that we look at Bull racist Barr issues vs the actual REAL racism that goes on in the world. PR is a colony and we are always placed LAST at the table, my father was drafted in the vietnam war as an 18 y/o who could barely speak english and was NOT allowed to vote as a Puerto Rican citizen. Thank you for presenting this topic.
    46
  1482. Such a coincidence seeing that he helped pass that tax cut!! What a surprise!
    46
  1483. It makes me both sad and angry when I see Canadians like Bernier and the commenters at Rebel Media spewing such clearly racist and fear-mongering speech. I'm from a conservative stronghold riding in Alberta, and it's a regular knashing of teeth for me when I encounter similar attitudes, whether ignorant or malicious or both, in some of my own family members and neighbours, not to mention almost every local paper's editorial page, and the newsletters from my conservative represenatives. It's an uphill battle with some folks. It's doubly annoying when other white people assume that I blindly agree with them just because of my own anglo-centric ancestry.
    46
  1484. David Doel (The Rational National) is a Canadian who has his finger on the pulse of America way better than those shills in American MSM! It's obvious that Morning Joe [Scarborough] has been 'coached' by MSNBC to remember where his big paycheck comes from, and David knows that without saying it outright. Progressives should take account that Bernie Sanders is popular with fly-over America because they're the hardest hit by corporatist oligarchic policies that keep them down, and that we have a fight on our hands to defend Progressives like Bernie in Middle America at least as well as 'our' Rational National!
    46
  1485. "Behind closed doors with corporate lawyers" This should not be a thing, *ever*, when it comes to public policy.
    46
  1486. Occasio-Cortez is a great candidate. If she wins or loses she has a career in politics. I think there's more of her to come.
    46
  1487. Excellent balanced breakdown David, as usual. It's seems however your channel as well as others who dont fall in line with the establishment narrative are being trolled by Correct the Record type trolls.
    46
  1488. Your video was just interrupted by an ad of Ben Shapiro trying to sell me cryptocurrency.
    46
  1489. Thanks for breaking this down. Very interesting, and the prospects are exciting! Here's hoping between Bernie, Justice Democrats, Brand New Congress, and home-grown pressure, enough corporate Democrats can be whipped into shape to actually make things better for a change.
    46
  1490. Yeah, watching the local elections it was as if the BBC commentators were in some parallel universe where they were seeing different results from the rest of the country. Labour has the most councillors and the most councils plus they gained Plymouth and are the biggest party in Trafford. A Labour victory whatever the lying Tory media say.
    46
  1491. David, I think this is what makes you different from a lot of the other progressives on this. I lot of people I really like and watch, don't understands how this plays into culture and the social implications. Being a free-speech absolutist doesn't score you points with the right. The right is devoid of any moral highground and we should NEVER concede to that. That's why centrists lose on economics and this is ultimately how we lose what little we have left when it comes to social issues. Never concede to the right.
    46
  1492. David, Richard is a solid citizen and is a conservative progressive, with deep principles and virtue. He left the Bush II administration. He has said he will not accept the support of political action committees, super PACs, or "dark money" organizations. I have more faith in him that many democrats
    46
  1493. those doctors had scalpels! imagine what they could have done if they got through the snipers, armoured vehicles and barbed wire fence! they may have robbed a pharmacy to bring back to gaza!
    46
  1494. I was disappointed on how much Joe Rogan gave a platform to insane right wing ideologues that have ZERO credibility in the past. But I remember still respecting him because he seemed genuine and didn't parrot bullshit talking points. He was genuine which I greatly appreciated. I'm happy he's evolving on the issue as most Americans are on Progressive ideas. The most important idea being able to communicate ideas and share a common set of values that are humane. I disagree with the "left" on plenty of issues. But they are the only people who are encouraging honest dialogue and debates around facts and reason. The right is becoming this crazy troll trying to beat everyone in submission with their ideology through any means necessary. They are NOT genuine at all. They seem to be turning truth on it's head at every opportunity and taking the lazy way out in understanding complex issues.
    46
  1495. As I understand it there was actually a litter box in a girl's bathroom, for an emotional support animal. Which I'm sure the right would also make fun of but that was the story I heard.
    46
  1496. trans viewer + proud socialist here. thanks for having our back David!
    46
  1497. I have more respect for someone if they just admit they wrote it that it was wrong and apologize.
    46
  1498. Bernie is a great humanitarian! Bernie is more than a politician. He is a true Statesman. Thanks, David. Great job!
    46
  1499. What an excellent breakdown. It's astounding how lazy Joy Reid's reporting on the democrats is. So blind to her own party's failings. So important that the left stays strong with these teachers and uses all levels of activism - from within the party, outside the party, supporting unions and workers rights to put the "pressure" on the establishment. It can't just be 1 group, or one ideology. It's all of us
    46
  1500. If a progressive lost a midterm the establishment would not take them seriously as a 2020 candidate.
    46
  1501. I love how the BBC article I just read about this interviewed American university criminology professors that were apparently gobsmacked that the officer didn't immediately shoot the person and that there must've been something wrong with him. So it's not just the American cops, but the field itself in its entirety that need to be revamped.
    46
  1502. I feel the same way! I dare Joy, Samantha Bee and Trevor Noah to have Bernie on and talk policy.
    45
  1503. You nailed it. The only policy establishment dems have are republican policies. It really is astonishing how out of touch establishment dems are at this point.
    45
  1504. Incrementalism is bullshit. MLK warned against it.
    45
  1505. Great segment, man. It's so encouraging to hear. :-D
    45
  1506. I'm heated that the outrage is pointed in the wrong direction. Instead of attacking the greedy owners that refuse to take a cut to profits, instead people blame the workers who just want better compensation for their work.
    45
  1507. That's the mentality that the u.s.a. needs! I enjoyed listening to this story and ur channel is very informative....new subscriber....than you!
    45
  1508. the way i see it there are two possibilities here: 1) hillary clinton is delusional, she still doesn't understand that her name alone is toxic to any candidate she associates herself with, and she genuinely thinks she can help the party win in 2018 OR 2) she's angry that progressives didn't vote for her so she's trying to quell the insurgence of leftists into the party and literally letting her own petty narcissism destroy the dems chance in 2018 and by extension 2020 either way if she makes herself a public figure during midterms we're all fucked lol. let's hope for the best i guess
    45
  1509. There are people who work 6 days a week two jobs and still can't make it past barely surviving yet there are some assholes who claim there is such a thing as an "American dream" and that people can make it. That's absolute bullshit that dream was stolen by the rich getting richer and poor just getting poorer. Trickle down economics and privatisation is the villain here.
    45
  1510. I love Bernie too. He's one of those honest politician. I believe if Hiliary had chosen him as her VP she would have won just because of Bernie. #justsaying
    45
  1511. No one was spared, and that's a good thing. It wasn't one-sided. I loved her jokes and her incredible composure throughout it. I believe the thing people (I'm talking about viewers) didn't like regarding the apparent jab at Sarah's physical appearance wasn't the smoky eye thing but the Aunt Lydia comparison. Which to me was more of a commentary on both Sarah's and Aunt Lydia's complicity with their misogynist authoritarian regimes than that Sarah looks like her.
    45
  1512. Love it when you do Canadian focused content. Great stuff.
    45
  1513. You don't think genocide should be joked about?? Shocking! It's almost like you're a human capable of empathy and nuance! But really do they need to start testing people who go into government jobs for sociopathic tendencies? Because this thought process is highly disturbing to me.
    45
  1514. Am I wrong in thinking that Peterson wants self-identifying members of groups A,B,C, and D to view other people from A, B, C, or D primarily as individuals and not as members of their self-identifed group? In other words a plea to all white people (including the police) to stop viewing people of color as just representatives of their own group. And for POC to do likewise. That's not to deny that people haven't been or aren't treated as members of groups, and haven't been affected by policies solely as groups. I think his point is that making policies based on grouping was a bad game to play. It resulted in discrimination. It is currently a bad game to play because it results in divisiveness and unstable politics. By being identified as a mean white guy Peterson was at the receiving end of the game of identity politics, which he views as the foundation of political correctness. He would like to see this approach to social problem solving abandoned. The irony that his reaction to being labelled by Dyson is anathema to Fry's idea of political correctness shows that different ends of the political spectrum are viewing the heart of political correctness in different ways. The definition of political correctness needs some clarification for everyone's benefit. That's partly where the debate failed. Still quite entertaining though.
    45
  1515. I am so grateful for your determined focus on breaking down truth, calmly, reflectively, without judgement. Your breakdowns mean I spend less time feeling down about the news and Americans impact on the global community...and more time focused on positive change. You also give me tools and a wonderful example of how to interact with willfully ignorant people. Of which there are many in my Tampa Bay region. Love and peace to you and your family. Thank you for what you do.
    45
  1516. Already a proud supporter and for 5 bucks a month well worth it. Highly recommend for everyone since David does an amazing job at covering important stories.
    45
  1517. Could you do more Ben Shapiro impersonations? Because that just made my day.
    45
  1518. Kanye always says ridiculous things when he's going to release a album just to get attention.
    45
  1519. NYT is a cesspool of Zionists, warmongers, and Israeli apologists. It's the same paper that provides a platform to Thomas "POS" Friedman. Bari Weiss is just another soul-less tool serving the purpose of her imperialist overlords in return for a profitable career and a comfortable living.
    45
  1520. Thatā€™s why it floors me when right-wing personalities use their platforms to convince people that certain minorities are the cause of all of their problems. Despite your religion or culture, no matter if youā€™re a Christian or a Muslim, itā€™s the same type of conservative rhetoric that inspires radicalism & terrorism. Really great topic David. šŸ‘
    45
  1521. For the ppl that benefit from white privilege, equality feels like oppression
    45
  1522. Anybody hear that his campaign confirmed the "Ford Nation" crowd had paid actors? Apparently they were paid $75 each
    45
  1523. Don't forget that he has taken away rent control. He has taken away pay and raised rent.
    45
  1524. You know, I was watching a Michael video today actually and just observing him made me crystalise something I've been thinking about lately. If the left wants to win, if the left wants power, if the left wants converts, above all we have to be... cool. Just, cool. Like, warm, smart, funny, no academic rants or righteous idignation or anything like that. We have to be cooler than all the teenboy and mid-life crisis mens fascist wetdreams, which is hard enough already. We also need to have finer, clearer, shorter and practical answers for just about everything, and dish them out when interogated. Yes, its a pain and a burden but to echo Contrapoints: we need to realise we're not in a forum, we're in the circus, so its all about aesthetics not arguments. Though we need them too, of course. But vitally through all of this, every one of us needs to study up on international politics. We face global problems and the global solutions can only come from a global perspective and the global solidarity that follows such comprehensive understanding. Also, Michael reminds us (in the video I watched today) that the whole purity test stuff, the wokeness, the tone policing MUST STOP. It is vital that we learn to be comforrtable with imperfect allies. We will get nowhere otherwise.
    45
  1525. Thank you for this video. šŸ‘
    45
  1526. Nature is an awesome reminder of how things really work. There are endings, but each is a beginning too. I live near Mt St Helens and visited shortly after the burned-over devastation there in 1980. Today, the lakes and trees are luxuriant again. I lived to witness the cycle and it has affected me. Thanks for the video. Volcanos are great teachers.
    45
  1527. Waiting for Cynthia Nixon to destroy Cuomo. Also be mindful of the dems like Gillibrand that are supposed to be "feminists" are supporting Cuomo. Gillibrand, Cuomo and so many in the NY establishment want to maintain the corruption. We can't let them win.
    44
  1528. a cogent well thought out explanation as always. I can only think that this is a simultaneous power grab/sabotage from establishment plants in the org. The double speak on why they "unanimously" ousted him smacks of someone who expects to be believed no matter what. Jimmy Dore mentioned that there had been some arm twisting to get "no corp money" in the platform, and he expects that it will be introduced quietly sometime down the line.
    44
  1529. His episodes with Duncan, and Uncle Joey for that matter, are always essential imo, though, for completely different reasons. Joe gets a bad wrap from a lot of fellow leftists, primarily bc of the platform he gives to some people who are truly garbage types, but heā€™s a good dude. Iā€™ve been watching him for a few years too, and itā€™s been interesting watching his evolution. Heā€™s clearly not a right wing dude, thatā€™s just not a fair criticism, and it is something I sometimes hear. Heā€™s a capitalist, yeah, but heā€™s still libertarian/left of center, and heā€™s open about being in favor of a lot of progressive positions. I disagree with him on many counts, but heā€™s a good dude. āœŒšŸ¼
    44
  1530. Did Biden say 17 students were shot dead in Ohio? The number is 4.
    44
  1531. Great work David. Ignore the dislikes from JP InCel squad
    44
  1532. Multi nationals and corporations have been ramping up their effort to influence elections all around the world. Honestly the biggest threat to democracy would be corporations influence on politics. Here is Australia the business council has spent millions of dollars of campaigns and political influence to pass their 65 billion tax cut while cutting health care and education apart and no wage growth. Corporations need to know their place and stay away from politics as the biggest lobbiest should be the people not the corps.
    44
  1533. Dave you are 100% right there isn't a slippery slope. The other left wing channels need to calm down. Alex was a malignant tumor on social media.
    44
  1534. Is it just me, or does Chris Hayes almost immediately admit, in his tone, that there is very little effect by those Russia trolls once that reporter tells him so? How do these people sleep at night...
    44
  1535. This is not going to stop Bernie Sanders from filing his paperwork for running as a democrat in the 2020 democratic primary. This sounds like a Bill Clinton attempt to stop Bernie from running as a democrat but it's not going to work. Any qualified American citizen can run in the democratic primary for president if you meet the criteria. This new rule is just a pathetic attempt by the DNC to try to muck up the process. I think this is hilarious.
    44
  1536. Dont know if you get thanked enough for what tou do but i just wanted to say thanks for what you do...
    44
  1537. What A segment!! This was genius work.. No one can deny actual footage of contradiction.
    44
  1538. Thank you David. This is the best video yet. Respect.
    44
  1539. Never have I ever been so dumbfounded at our countryā€™s state of affairs. We really need to do something about this
    44
  1540. Just found you yesterday and already love the videos, anyone who calls out ben is ACES IN MY BOOK.
    44
  1541. Also want to add: I voted for Hillary BECAUSE of Bernie, and otherwise would have stayed home. Not that I'm happy about it, and actually kinda resent it but.... Is what it is and I don't hold it against Bernie like some people do. He did what was best for the country and tried to save us from trump.
    44
  1542. Is the Dem Party open to Moderates? NO- they only want full-on Conservatives at this point. That's why they just purged all the Progressives from the DNC.
    44
  1543. I dumped MSNBC during the primary, when the hand writing was on the wall. They are criminal. Disgraceful. Pull the plug and don't look back! You won't regret it!
    44
  1544. You can tell that she thinks never protesting anything is a vote winner. Authoritarians see power as proof of rectitude and submission to authority under all circumstances as a self-evident pure good. Because they're irrational and immoral, and thus prove themselves totally unworthy of responsibility.
    44
  1545. How can the line not just be definitively drawn at children?! I cannot believe that this policy even has any defenders. It is so difficult not to become disillusioned with society. I always knew racism and white supremacy supporters existed but I had no idea how bad it really is.
    44
  1546. After all what did the pope say that was not totally reasonable and plain common sense? It says a lot about the state of the American dystopia that simply stating the obvious is considered controversial or in any way remarkable.
    44
  1547. The woefully inadequate $4.99 I relinquish monthly in support of this channel is the best money I spend.
    44
  1548. Astounding the lengths the media will go. This is a long hard uphill battle that progressives cannot take for granted. The media especially ruthless.
    44
  1549. a good solution would be to ban corporate funding. I know it's an extreme solution however it's gotten to the point were politicians only represent these rich people and therefore don't give two shits about the rest of the people. a politician is meant to represent everyone and we need to apply that in reality.
    43
  1550. Excellent video. As an Ex Pat living in the US with medical bills i was kind of apalled by how ignorant Trumps statement was. And thats a terrifying thing because its across the board on every topic. Healthcare is unnecessarily complicated in the US. Its about making money for the insurance company's
    43
  1551. Only hack I'm detecting is Joy and I'm nowhere near a Norton or McAffee. Glad to have found your channel David, as a fellow Canadian I'm more than happy to be a Patreon supporter of yours now.
    43
  1552. Hillary should be giving advice. Then we know to do the opposite of whatever she says. The woman is always dead wrong. What better guide could we find?
    43
  1553. This guy is sick. He isn't even trying to suppress his smile. Sorry, but Hamas didn't snipe the Canadian Doctor. Trying to blame Hamas for that makes little sense, and so im glad to see you continue to do excellent work on this. Also, no one seems to be explaining how Hamas is responsible for the journalists who were shot. Probably because there is no explanation other than blaming who is at fault for this.
    43
  1554. Still waiting for Jordan Peterson to stand up for the individual rights of black lives. I wonder if he sides with conservatives in the belief that groups like corporations have rights and are considered people?
    43
  1555. I just got off work and I'll do some looking but so far outside of Canadian news I've only heard Jake tapper talk about Saudi Arabia on msm side and only David on the independent side. If we have to be the only voice then so be it. Peace, stability, and civility in that region isn't something to be quiet about.
    43
  1556. The real free speech issue is that progressive speaking truth to power are silenced and their lives ruined by the establishment. Never EVER want to hear about how conservatives like Jordan Peterson feel triggered because of gender pronouns. The real free speech is the attack on progressives.
    43
  1557. Iā€™m in Houston, TX and havenā€™t seen better coverage on this. Thank You.
    43
  1558. I can attest to Bernie's popularity in rural PA as a canvasser and a neighbor. Really unfortunate that Pennsylvania has closed primary as there are a lot of independent voters. So weird to talk to people who couldn't make up their minds between Trump ("don't know if he's really racist") and Bernie ("says he's a socialist, but sounds like a New Dealer") and had it made for them.
    43
  1559. shelter medicine and food are human rights.
    43
  1560. God I love this channel. I would urge anyone who disagrees with Davidā€™s position to watch the documentary ā€œ13thā€ on Netflix. It certainly changed the way I view matters of race & inequality.
    43
  1561. Me think the color of this person's skin and being left-wing and against White Supremacy has something to with why the "Free-Speech" Dipshits are silent on this one too.
    43
  1562. evangelicals are the last people on earth people should listen to
    43
  1563. Great video. I've been thinking the same thing about Rubin!
    43
  1564. He's a megalomaniac convinced the ridiculous pseudo-wisdom he spouts is genius. This was a fascinating Emperor's new clothes moment. If every celebrity or politician were directly confronted like this on their verbal diarrhea, we might see it dry up. Good for Van Lathan!
    43
  1565. Dave I appreciate your speticism, but anything I've ever witnessed from Richard, he's a solid dude. He may be affiliated with one party of another but he's loyal to America and has an independent, Thomas paine-esque way of 'common sense' & no fkin around mentality about him. Logically driven with good intentions, not not consumed by greed and power. He wants to take on the power. You can see his clear motivation...it's to protect murica. I see our founding fathers when I look and listen to Richard. I've always known him to be a stand up guy.
    43
  1566. Fantastic Shapiro impression... I almost thought that he snuck into your studio...
    43
  1567. We need to have our voting day extended to cover at least 3 days, with a block on news coverage so it wonā€™t affect the voting. The lines are too long in many cities, forcing people to wait hours to vote. That is really difficult for working people, single parents who have young children, those without their own transportation, the elderly, etc.
    43
  1568. I support the Palestinian people and their right to live in peace. Us Jews are not allowed into that area by decree of God so I don't understand this. This is a zionist movement planned for years and these people do not follow Tora, they follow Talmud which is an abomination and full of blasphemy and sexual misconduct. My family and friends have been supporting and campaigning for the Palestinian people for years and this is just a slap in the face to us orthodox. The soldiers, government and people who are occupying Palestine are not Jewish rather they hide behind Judaism.
    43
  1569. Itā€™s sad that an intellectual midget like Joe has ANY influence over the political discussions in this country... but it does explain a lot and proves that MSNBC is the voice of neoliberalism. Itā€™s NOT a ā€œleft wingā€ media source at all.
    43
  1570. I'm American. Lived in China for two years, Mexico for awhile, and am fluent in Chinese and Spanish. Living abroad made me realize how bad things are in the US and how our politics and media are a complete charade. My dad is a wealthy conservative who built himself up from the ground, and my brother is following in his footsteps. They only listen to fox, talk radio, pragerU, ben shapiro, etc. They sometimes listen to MSNBC to "get the other side of things." Its incredibly frustrating. All of the facts they cite and sources they give are nonsense right wing talking points and so obviously funded by big industry, but they are repeated to the point of people feeling very comfortable and legitimate in reciting them. When they start talking about it, everyone else in the family just gets quiet and exchanges looks of disgust. They have a really have a sense of entitlement the way they go about it too. Its frustrating since neither one of them has lived abroad for an extended period of time so they just can't see through their veil of American exceptionalism.
    43
  1571. I don't know why people think we don't evaluate people before they come here. I have personal experience with this from getting my wife over here. It was a hell of a process.
    43
  1572. Jordan Peterson says he's AGAINST political correctness but is appalled when someone calls him white? Man up dude.
    43
  1573. It's hilarious to me that these conservatives want us to believe that our free speech is in dire jeopardy because a handful of blue and pink haired 19 year old SJW's are trying to stop Ben Shapiro and Jordan Peterson speeches at Berkeley University.
    43
  1574. šŸ‘āœŠ Great informative video, David !! In America, can we not imagine the faces of our own ancestors in these people and practice compassion anymore?

  1575. It was not a tourist destination as far as the 60ā€™s and 70ā€™s ... a family friend used to live in a house next to the crater ( green lake) an we used to go check it out from time to time. At that time there were no other houses around the crater that I could remember.....still remember as a teenager gettin chased by bees as my father an his friend harvesting honey from a hive on the north side of the crater.... Iā€™ll never forget that place ...šŸ™‚
    43
  1576. Donating to Marie now!!!
    43
  1577. Also: damn bro your channel's blowing up, look at that already 40k subs, good job šŸ‘šŸ»
    42
  1578. This makes me so amazed my mum is a teacher in the UK and she had enough disposable income to send me to private school in the UK. Shows how backwards the US really is smh
    42
  1579. Money is politics and right wing congressmen are destroying the country.
    42
  1580. New headline: "New rules threaten to treat people humanely".
    42
  1581. Bro, keep it informal, do whatever you like. Just keep the info coming. We all appreciate what you are doing.
    42
  1582. How does someone get to this point? To have no compassion for anyone who doesnā€™t look/talk/act like them. To only value human life if it has something to offer you or your demographic. Money? Living in a bubble? Thanks for doing this show, David. You and all of the other independent progressive media outlets remind me that there are people with compassion - with decency.
    42
  1583. Bernie needs to run in 2020 we need a POTUS who cares for the ppl not corporations and the rich
    42
  1584. Killed it, David! Great video, Rubin has smelt fishy for a while now... Thanks for letting truth ring.
    42
  1585. Meanwhile, establishment media promote Oprah as the next president, on one great speech, when this woman is making several ,and actually active in politics for many years?
    42
  1586. Not just commentary, but analysis. Thanks for this
    42
  1587. It just goes to show how hollow their arguments are when confronted with logic. This current swarm of conservative retardation is the result of a public that is easily manipulated by anyone who regurgitates the things they want to hear. In other words, most people just want to hear their opinions validated, no matter who does it. Also, there is a LOT of money to be made promoting conservative propaganda, which is why Rubin became a conservative. Anyone can join, which is why idiots like Peterson are suddenly so relevant.
    42
  1588. Although arguments may be made about keeping deals and short-term economic difficulties, there is simply no way to justify supporting a regime that kills journalists in the open, that crucifies people, that amputates limbs, that crushes opposition of all sorts, and has even detained Canadian citizens and others for questionable reasons or political expediency. We cannot allow ourselves or our leaders to sleep well at night so long as people are being murdered on our watch, and with our weapons technology. It may sound dramatic, but it is the truth. Trudeau must be made by the people of Canada to stop this horrible alliance and save our reputation and our collective conscience. I will be so deeply disappointed if our leaders waffle on this.
    42
  1589. Socially liberal? Yes, but that's probably the only difference between Fox "News" and supposedly liberal media outlets like CNN, MSNBC, The Washington Post, The New York Times, Politico, etc. Just like Fox, those other supposedly liberal outlets beat the war drums for regime change, do unbelievably obsequious propaganda for the military-industrial complex, prop up the mega-rich, and actively try to suppress the upcoming populist-left uprising here in America. Aside from social issues, all these corporate media outlets are the same conglomeration, trying to keep the corporatist status quo afloat, but they don't see the populist-left iceberg dead ahead
    42
  1590. I have a teenager in school. Each time this happens and leaders do nothing we have to just fucking hope that nothing happens at my kid's school. I'm so fucking angry at their deliberate complacency.
    42
  1591. For every disastrous decision made by the people in power, there's a video of Bernie predicting it. Except this was just days apart, which is amazing. And shoutout to the 2-3 sellout Democrats who crossed to the GOP to vote against his amendment to protect these programs, including Mark Warner in Virginia. 2018 can't come soon enough...
    42
  1592. Love your videos, and thank you for the bold, progressive content. I'm a proud subscriber! :-)
    41
  1593. It's funny when these guys talk, and you replace words like "us" in with "the wealthy" (in phrases like "it'll be disasterous for us"), it makes perfect sense. Yes, it will be bad for "us" (the wealthy) because their incomes will go down a bit. Also fits perfectly with why he doesn't see Trump as a threat at all, because Trump is not a threat to the wealthy.
    41
  1594. Booker is so sharp and intelligent. Itā€™s a shame he doesnā€™t utilize his powers for the people. I wonder how many times heā€™s ā€œdied.ā€ The template for a champion is there. šŸ˜”šŸ‡ŗšŸ‡ø
    41
  1595. Love that Parliament is rowdy and cacophonous whenever someone speaks. It's so much better than the false decorum the US tries to have when someone is blatantly lying.
    41
  1596. Even Israeli women have gone up to the Mossad soldiers and said, "Where is your conscience? Where is your morality?" I have seen these women numerous times. Is anyone other than them and a few old hippies getting this? Yes, I have empathy for the Palestinian people and have for a long time.
    41
  1597. If the Democrats went to the center, they would have to go left.
    41
  1598. Good job buddy. Expose the corporate overlords for what they really are.
    41
  1599. Boycotts are purely capitalistic in nature. If people don't like your "product"...you should lose business.
    41
  1600. DD, you had me rolling when you did that impression of his annoying voice. I tried to listen to him before. But I could never get pass the robotic skin crawling voice. But as always you HIT the point right on the head!! I thank you for understanding.
    41
  1601. This is WHY I love your channel. Not only are you rational but there is a true frankness and sincerity about you.
    41
  1602. If Dianne Feinstein stood for the people instead of for her corporate donors, she could be 125 years old and still be relevant as far as I am concerned. But, she does not. She has arguably become worse than a Republican, because the D next to her name gives a number of people the illusion that she is their champion. I wish Ana Kasparian challenges her and becomes U.S. Senator. We know where Ana Kasparian stands on issues. She is tough, ethical and outspoken.
    41
  1603. admittedly this is also completely irrelevant but as far as Ms. Nixon's character Miranda never leaving Manhattan. She lived in Brooklyn.
    41
  1604. And, once again, we'll probably do absolutely nothing. I must confess that, as an American, I'm just so used to these mass shootings that I've become numb to them. Even when the Marshall County High School shooting happened right here in Kentucky, my HOME, I still had a "meh" response. I know that sounds horrible, but it's due to how often they happen and the fact nothing gets done every fucking time.
    41
  1605. I love these tough questions from Cuomo. If only they asked similar questions to establishment Democrats.
    41
  1606. I know people are skeptical but the thing you can say about Gillibrand is at the very least she reaches out to the base unlike so many other elected Democrats who seem to despise it. I remember when she replaced Clinton as Senator in 2008 she started to blog regularly at the Daily Kos to reach out to progressives and believe me alot of people didn't trust her but she kept doing it. Her sharing a stage with someone like Ana Kasparian is another example of her being willing to talk to progressives. Her comment about soft corruption is totally right. If you are only talking to big money donors then that is the perspective you are going to have. But if you are talking to your base, like she does you are going to be influenced by that perspective as well. And it makes a difference, I think that is what you are seeing here.
    41
  1607. Wow i didnt even know about Barbara lee, thanks for the info!
    41
  1608. This is why we need Nina to run for president
    41
  1609. I love this and I love her. I think this is great for progressive. We absolutely need people like her out front. Go get 'em Cynthia!
    41
  1610. This is old school Pre Rogers style City TV
    41
  1611. I don't get the vibe she was disingenuous in her emotional response. As much as I hate corporate media, I genuinely believe there are times when the bullshit becomes overwhelming.
    41
  1612. The people condoning Israel's actions seem to use the same tactic, say "Hamas" as many times as you can. Like what about the Canadian doctor who was unjustly shot? then they would simply respond "but ....hamas". Face palm.
    41
  1613. Friday Dec 1st, 10:30 pm ET... Sanders amendment to not make cuts to these programs was just voted down on the senate floor. Maybe enough people will get pissed off now so that we can vote these clowns out of office. This shit can be undone with a 60 vote majority.... 2018 is coming.
    41
  1614. Jfc, why does this video only have a few thousand views, should have at least a million.
    41
  1615. YES they can remove people regardless of who it is. Constitutional oversight over this would be stupid. Also Alex jones is endangering peopleā€™s lives on a regular bases. He is the embodiment of harmful speech that causes harm on a mass level. Absolutism is a STUPID logic that does not put context and circumstances in perspective. Comparing Alex jones to LGBTQ being aggressively demonetised on YouTube or a cannabis advocate is just plain weird and normalises Alex jones.
    41
  1616. We need multiple parties with ranked voting so that we have a 2nd choice if the 1st is effectively eliminated.
    41
  1617. Tax, taxpayer, tax cuts are dog whistle for stupid people. They don't even care if there is any substance behind what is said after TAX.
    41
  1618. I LOVE me some Bernie Sanders! Just think - HE could have been our POTUS, instead of the crazy, yellow lunatic who currently holds that title. And, he could have prevented someone like Hillary Clinton from getting into office and wreaking more havoc onto our nation, with her Neo-Liberal, elitist ideologies and hawkish military views. P.S. - I knew of Bernie Sanders before the 2016 presidential campaign, because he was a Congressman for the state (Vermont) in which my son was born! Even then, I had a very favorable view of Bernie because my son and I never had to worry about getting medical care or having to pay for it.
    41
  1619. Cognitive Dissonance, I don't believe I wrote those things but I did. I never wrote those things in the past, but I did. I have LGTB friends. The person I was then is not the person I am now, but I am that person. The first step in recovery is to acknowledge you have a problem.
    41
  1620. No, Jordan Peterson, nobody is talking about a "white privilege tax." How about you stop denying and accept that white privilege exists. BTW it was Jordan Peterson who brought race back into the discussion when he started talking about a "white privilege tax." Excellent analysis David.
    41
  1621. Great video, but I disagree with the statement that the US has more advanced/experimental treatments because we have more rich people willing to pay for them and that this is a pro of our current health care system. The vast majority of such treatments come from research universities or private biomedical companies, which the US does have more of, but that's not at all a product of the current health care system. The health insurance industry does not fund the research and development of these treatments -- in the majority of cases, we, the taxpayers, do, by funding NIH, NSF, etc. Under Berniecare, none of that would change. Also, I'm not sure on the stats, but it actually seems to me that Canada and European countries have waaaaay more experimental treatments available to patients. I have a chronic illness and am constantly looking into these things.
    41
  1622. Thanks for the interesting commentary, especially the apt comparison with FDR.
    41
  1623. 5:34 HOLY SHIT, am I dreaming??? Thanks for featuring my tweet!
    41
  1624. It's a rare yet awesome occurrence when true progressives get into positions where they can affect real change.
    40
  1625. Which why I find it sad that trumpists think heā€™s anti-establishment, if they did even a minuscule amount of research theyā€™d quickly realize that heā€™s part of the establishment.
    40
  1626. Thank you for being one of the few people who actually care enough to report on this. The mainstream media is an absolute EMBARRASSMENT for ignoring such an important story. Keep up the good work.
    40
  1627. I'm 20, and I learned CPR in high school and got my certification.... soooo. Also FYI the class is required so everyone must take it. Also I am not a doctor or anything, but I am pretty sure CPR won't save someone who has been shot in a critical area..... Come on Rick think critically dammit XD
    40
  1628. I'm writing a research paper on money in politics right now
    40
  1629. This guyā€™s no Berniecrat obv but ok for small wins. Keep it coming. Good vid btw!
    40
  1630. Is the irony lost on anyone here? This is a debate about about PC culture and is it bad or good. The person (Jordan Peterson) who is against PC culture is totally triggered. Being called on his white privilege really hurts his feelings hahaha. If white privilege hurts people's feeling so much, maybe it should be change to majority privilege instead.
    40
  1631. Really love the fact that you look beyond the surface. Great video.
    40
  1632. I'm trying to actually see what is she saying sorry for? An apologize is realizing what you did wrong and taking ownership in what you did wrong. Establishment media personnel have the ideology that their actions and choices can be washed away and forgave when its deemed negative. She simply has the attitude of Donald Trump. #AlternativeFacts
    40
  1633. when he couldn't win they praised him. but now that he can win they have to muddy the water or he'll crush them. just showing off how well connected morning joe is.
    40
  1634. NICE vid once again...You, Secular Talk, David Packman and The Humanist Report are my fav!..im gonna give my my political opinions a shot, just started my own channel!!
    40
  1635. This is great news! Props to all the activists for stopping this titan!
    40
  1636. Ford is a stooge without a plan, under Wynne she'll sell off Hydro One bit by bit and turn it into another 407 situation for Ontario .... so I can't believe I'm saying this but I see myself pulling the lever for the NDP
    40
  1637. I actually loved the ad, dystopian cyberpunk vibes and all. But I recognize that it isnā€™t for everyone. As far as the actual campaign goes, it still boils down to policies, and we need to know more. But if nothing else, among progressives Manning is both a hero and a badass.
    40
  1638. so, Joy Reid was trying to stand in the way of progress in 2009. Fast forward to 2016-2018... my how nothing has changed.
    40
  1639. The government poisons our food supply, our water supply, the air we breathe. It's only right that the government uses a portion of our taxpayer dollars for our healthcare. Trump is also destroying our wildlife by relaxing the hunting laws. It's too heartbreaking & discouraging for me to follow the changes. Among the many sickening crimes & abuses against wildlife is Trump's law giving hunters with high powered rifles the right to shoot animals from a low flying helicopter & the right to hunt bears when they are hibernating with their baby cubs. And Trump's oldest sons flaunt their barbaric hunting of endangered animals in other countries & I'm not positive but think Trump signed a law allowing ivory into the USA again. Money, power & blackmail buys whatever you want, no matter how depraved you are. Very sad day when Trump moved into the White House, selling out Americans & Democracy.
    40
  1640. Your discussion of white privilege is one of the best I've ever heard. It doesn't shame people and it recognizes the difficulty we all face while also acknowledging the additional challenges of race.
    40
  1641. Man I'm starting to like this guy's channel more and more now
    40
  1642. Chomsky Knows what he is talking about!
    40
  1643. Yes as another Canadian itā€™s always entertaining to hear the lies some Americans say about our health care system. Most of the negative things they say are not true. I would never trade our system for the American system. In fact I would never even want to live in the USA. Fear mongers just spew lies to control and keep the middle class under control and maximize profits for the corporations
    40
  1644. i think you are more than qualified to judge fashion and shirts david
    40
  1645. Corbyn! I should've known! He's awesome!
    40
  1646. I think you're the first person I've seen cover this story who mentioned that she was Kurdish, and I'm glad you covered that more at the end, because as soon as you mentioned that, I was wondering if that might have been a factor.
    40
  1647. Just watched this video loved it and subscribed
    40
  1648. Now can I say we told you so! You've made your bed now you have to lie in it. Tired of having this conversation with people who don't listen and don't care, right up until things start to effect them. You deserve everything you get. Much love from NDP/Green BC where we have a Premier who is actually fighting for us. Just a few things our NDP Gov't here is working toward and I'm sure I'll miss important things. 1. Fighting against Kinder Morgan and the building of the ridiculous pipeline 2. Building homes for the homeless 3. Building affordable social housing for those who need it in a city where no home is under $1M 4. Current public discussions with the intent to change our broken first past the post voting system to proportional representation or other viable option. 5. Changing rules around funding politicians to stop dirty money being funneled into corrupt politicians pockets (Liberal Party). Barely a year and the party has been busy making changes that benefit the majority of British Columbian's, not just the rich few who run this city meanwhile Ontario is losing funding for schooling? Gtfo!
    40
  1649. One of my favorite videos online rn. šŸ‘Œ
    40
  1650. ..Good journalism matters.Thank you!
    39
  1651. your even-handed, fair description of the facts from both sides followed by your opinion really sets you apart from a lot of the channels that are popping up at the moment. keep it up dude.
    39
  1652. My country, Portugal, is a good example of how neoliberal/neoconservative politics and austerity are absolutely ineffective and hurt the middle class. After the 2008 financial crisis, we had a center right party in power (who, ironically, got elected for criticizing the previous government's plans for austerity) that spent 4 years implementing austerity: more taxes, higher taxes, frozen career progression, cuts to social security, pensions, etc. The middle class took a giant toll because the party wanted to appease the UE and the IMF, the latter even sent a special team called "troika" to analyze our situation, that advised our government to implement even more austerity. After 4 years, the middle class was poorer, the economy was worse, unemployment was worse, AND a half a dozen of the biggest banks crashed (despite "troika's" thorough analysis, they seemed to have missed that coming). No one was held accountable for the banks, and tax payers ended up having to inject millions back into them 2015 elections come, and while that same party (actually a coalition of 2 right wing parties) had the highest percentage of the vote, there were more votes on the left dispersed over 3 different parties. So they decided to make a coalition of their own and ended up being the ones holding government. The right wing coalition called it a coup, said the "devil" was coming because a left coalition would overspend and bankrupt the country. The new left wing government ended austerity, returned people their pensions and their salaries, raised the minimum wage, and more... Results? The economy is flourishing, unemployment has been reduced significantly, exports are higher, the deficit is the lowest it's ever been in the past 40 years.
    39
  1653. For the people that think this is cute. Wake up. The news is supposed to be about news not cute sycophantic nepotism. It's supposed to be about journalism ffs.
    39
  1654. What do you expect from a man who has reporters clapped over so he doesn't have to answer questions. I suggest reporters bring poster boards and write their questions down so they can't be ignored. Those people clapping are on the job so tax payers are paying for that.
    39
  1655. Jeremy Corbyn is truly radical because he isn't in this for himself - and the neo-liberal elites just can't cope with that! They can't get to him via the usual methods, and it makes them livid! Very enjoyable to watch :)
    39
  1656. Thank you for always putting links and citations in your videos. I don't want to read the UN report, but I now have the tab open and am trying to work up to it. As always, thank you for helping to keep us informed.
    39
  1657. This is a what a REAL citizen and patriot looks like, not some angry racist in wannabe military garb. Take note trumpsters.
    39
  1658. My favourite pundit ever, Kyle Kulinski just put the best line ever for the Democrats in the States but it also applies rather heavily to Trudeau and the Liberals here: "they are as left-wing as possible within the confines of the corporate spectrum". Left when convenient, pro-corporate donor any other time.
    39
  1659. It's as nefarious as it gets. I honestly can't understand how those evil REPUKES can sleep at night knowing what they've done or trying to do! How revolting & despicable this administration are!!!
    39
  1660. Oh you nailed it at the end with that bit on Kanye. Nicely done.
    39
  1661. I consume a lot of current events news, history, and YouTube content. This channel is the only one I see reporting on a number of issues super pertinent to most people, but that corporate media does not report. Thanks for the good work.
    39
  1662. Man i really disliked Hillary but these motherfuckers acted like she's the antiChrist & now whine about Trump being attacked?? They still talk about her somehow on daily basis!!! The amount of thick skin on her can make blankets for entire fox news crew!
    39
  1663. Love the Halloween flannel!! šŸŽƒ
    39
  1664. Bernie was entirely too much of a gentleman during the primary. But you know, they were already calling him sexist, what would have been the news if he'd treated her like Obama had? If the DNC hadn't cheated Bernie, he would have won and won without being aggressive towards HRC.
    39
  1665. As a BC resident, I feel vindicated. I love Horgan and am loving the work his government is doing. They have done more for us, residents, in 3 years than the BC liberals did in 16. I hope their approval carries over to the next election, whenever that might be.
    39
  1666. We also need a march for medicare-for-all including mental healthcare coverage to deal with the root causes of anti-social violence and actually treat the mentally-ill who have been left behind by for-profit healthcare. It's disgusting how the right wing scapegoats the mentally-ill for school shootings, but is constantly trying to cut healthcare which ensures more mentally-ill enter into a downward spiral.
    39
  1667. Keep the Canadian content coming!
    39
  1668. I'm an American and therefore have an American understanding of Canadian politics (in that I have little to no understanding of Canadian politics). But if I didn't know any better, I'd say Trudeau is doing what neoliberals do best. He's pushing non-policies policies that make fascism all the more viable. I don't know who your Bernie Sanders is, but you need to find them and find them quick.
    39
  1669. Love your videos David! šŸ‘ŒšŸ½
    39
  1670. I'm a GREEN PARTY member and I would NEVER have voted for Hillary Clinton. I would have written in MICKY MOUSE before I voted for any corporate Democrat. Thank you for making that very important point.
    39
  1671. Another huge benefit of single payer is that it allows workers to choose more rewarding jobs, change jobs, or move without fear of losing access to health care. It would encourage entrepreneurship for the same reasons.
    39
  1672. "msnbc now is on the same level as fox news" they have been for some time... a skeleton just fell out of the closet... but it was always there...
    39
  1673. Ah, I knew Peterson's fragile white male army would find this. Hey, losers. šŸ‘‹
    39
  1674. Bernie's medicare-for-all announcement was the little angel on our shoulders that kept us from going astray.
    39
  1675. They don't actually want anything to do with Sanders or his policies they just want to use his name and popularity in the hope that somehow that will help repair the democratic party's much damaged reputation.
    39
  1676. Forget wether Bernie would have won. He SHOULD have won. Fuck Hillary all the way to hell.
    39
  1677. Dude, this is one of the greatest video titles ever for what the content is about. Bravo!
    39
  1678. When I look at someone from mainstream actually put their heart in the subject away from the script I really want to start crying because it reminds me that there's still human beings left in Media. Some of us here at the states have literally been trained to dis value life of others if it doesn't benefit our needs. Mainly anyting corporate, if it doesn't drive in any profit for them it's worthless. To see at least one personin MSM actually thinking about other lives lets me know that there's still some kind of hope for this country.
    39
  1679. i get my news from a canadian. great video david.
    39
  1680. I've had some wonderful teachers in my life, but I've also had some teachers who shouldn't have been left alone in charge of a room full of children. I can't help but think that any teacher who actually wants to be armed probably shouldn't be.
    39
  1681. Thanks David. My soul needed this story. I'm having a hard right now but I'm making it better. Healing, determination, and staying strong. ā¤
    39
  1682. Wow, those statistics showing affirmative action in college admissions benefiting white men at the expense of white women are contrary to the deepest held feelings of persecution of every follower of the 'intellectual dark web.' Maybe it's time to think beyond triggering the libs and white-identitarian neoliberalism? cue Peterson crying about the individual
    39
  1683. DAMN IT! Nina fires me up EVERY TIME! That's why she is in my avatar. That little clip gave me chills!
    39
  1684. Instead of dragging out citizens, drag out politicians.
    39
  1685. Thanks for doing this video. I made a comment about this very clip of Joy Reid in your previous video about her. Based on your reaction I feel I am not alone in my loathing for Joy Reid. Watching her makes me feel the same as if I am watching Fox. Let's all get her fired.
    38
  1686. Keep it up Dave, sensational work.
    38
  1687. Yes, Trudeau is a neoliberal and Canadians are under no illusion about that. The Liberal Party is actually the centrist party in the country, and the Democrats are the left-wing party (well, they are actually called the New Democratic Party up here), even though in America you think of "liberal" meaning ultra-left-wing and Democrat meaning corporate liberals. We turn it upside down on our side of the border. However, our neoliberals are much more left-wing than your neoliberals. It's a fact of life in America that everything is much further to the right than anywhere else in the world. Even the American left-wing is further to the right.
    38
  1688. Already do support you David because we need independent media to tell us the things msm does not cover!!!
    38
  1689. The most important point about economic boycotts is in a corrupt capitalist system where the citizens have no say and money drives decisions, where cops can brutally attack you with impunity, where the mainstream media either ignores you or smears you, an economic boycott is sometimes the only pacifist solution.
    38
  1690. Even if you skip the color - they shot a 50 year old, out of shape guy, that they could have caught in less than 20 yards?
    38
  1691. Man, can you imagine the psychological impact of being in 2 mass shootings? I kind of teared up at that sheriff's interview during the morning news. Then I went to work and got a text from my mom that my cousin was there, she survived thankfully but hearing she was there out a ball of ice in my gut. I'm just tired of these. My sons have to do lockdown drills at school. It scared my oldest for a while. My mom works at an elementary school and she says the youngest ones just tremble while they hide from a pretend shooter. Some kids get physically sick from fear. This is the pretend drills. Tired of it. Something needs to be done.

  1692. Why my fav episodes of Rogan are with Duncan. Duncan brings out the best in him.
    38
  1693. Amazing, 1 vote stopped the Republicans from maintaining control over the house. Who knows that 1 vote might be the difference between the state getting the medicaid expansion or not.
    38
  1694. David thank you for making this story as I work for Amazon in Miami. If you ever want to know more about the work conditions let me know.
    38
  1695. I love how Benny boy is blaming anything but the guns and the too easy access to them as the reason why these kids and even most Americans want gun control. It's both laughable because of how he's trying to deflect the blame away from his positions on guns which is not only policy, but has lead to these frequent and devastating mass shootings, and it's depressing because no matter how ridiculous he sounds, how wrong he is and how much he's both out of touch with the American people on the issues and how he's a pseudo-intelectual at best, he's still being taken seriously in the right and is there "intellectual titan" which is laughable at best.
    38
  1696. Remember a teary-eyed Trudeau promising Gord Downie to protect the rights of indigenous people?
    38
  1697. Some great points made here David.
    38
  1698. I'm slowly becoming a real fan of this channel. Keep it up.
    38
  1699. even if you hate Hamas and condemn all they stand for .....how does that explain the wounding of nineteen medics and the killing of one medic who were going out , between the main times of the struggle [in there medic colours] to treat the wounded during the lull in the fighting?. It just shows the contempt the Israeli soldiers are treating human beings on there borders , and needs a explanation from somebody and those soldiers held accountable. As far as the Canadian political leader making hay about it , if they would ask him to perhaps come down [without fanfare] and help some of those medics during lulls in border aggression , if he has the belief of his own words , that Israel is withholding there force , and let him see how he fairs, to prove the conviction of his wordsĀ :(
    38
  1700. I really like this Jagmeet Singh guy and i aint even canadian
    38
  1701. This is all the evidence that you need. Peterson is a fraud pretending he's all about free speech and condemning political correctness and can't even handle that another man pointed out the color of his skin.
    38
  1702. What is wrong with her? Is it arrogance that makes Hillary think she is relevant and has a place on the US national stage? In any other country she would be viewed as a right winger, her husband was responsible for moving the Democratic Party to the right in order to get elected. He is a deeply unpleasant man who took time out on his campaign for president to return to Arkansas to view the execution of disabled African American man so he could appear tough on crime. While I do believe that misogyny played a part, it takes real dislike to lose to the most divisive, unqualified and unpopular person ever to run for president. She should buy some integrity from someone and shuffle off the political stage. Please!!
    38
  1703. All workers need strong unions. So of course neoliberalism does its best to destroy them.
    38
  1704. Fuck all of you who defend them. Should he have run, hell no. But he shouldn't have died. Lying assholes
    38
  1705. First let me say that I'm a Jordon Peterson fan. Now let me say this: you are right.
    38
  1706. Thanks for the great discussion!!! For those interested, here's the direct link to my video discussed above! https://youtu.be/IOqk_e1JHSs
    38
  1707. This is insane & abusive, but what can we expect? They're out to gut their competition because they know people like you threaten their credibility.
    38
  1708. It should also be noted that not all the council seats were up for election this time around, at a cursory glance you can see that for Labour's 2300 seats that were up, only 1300 conservative seats were up, that's not to say elections should be made that one for one seats should be contested but rather it does make it easier for the media to make a superficial evaluation of the performance that paints the conservatives in a much stronger light.
    38
  1709. Anything that's natural, they hate it. Anything to push their narcotics disguised as medication onto the people. It's just about money.
    38
  1710. Love this video. No republican can win if the dnc was progressive.
    38
  1711. Michael Eric Dyson DESTROYS Jordan Peterson
    38
  1712. Notice how Jordan Peterson had to say PRECISE 3x? That's the moment he realized he severely lost this debate and started shitting in his pants.
    38
  1713. Nice work David. You and Kyle are my favorite political commentators.
    38
  1714. Really enjoy watching your videos. Your reasoning and arguments are balanced and well thought out.
    37
  1715. Yeah, makes sense. Found it so odd and off-putting when I got an email from Elizabeth Warren asking for support for Joe Manchin, but now I understand. They have to play the game. Unfortunately, this is how corruption snowballs. Politicians shouldnā€™t endorse while theyā€™re in office. Leave it up to the people to decide.
    37
  1716. The right wing is controlling the media , and has been for quite a long time . Even in Canada I see the media as leaning to the right . But media should have some kind of regulations when you play such an important part of the politics of the day . Like intelligent , and non partisan people .
    37
  1717. I'd just like to point, as Stephen Fry frustratedly pointed out throughout this debate, that the topic of Political Correctness was hardly ever addressed. Jordan, Dyson and Goldberg mostly stuck to Identity Politics and the political ideological divide. Now, that isn't to say there isn't overlap between political correctness and identity politics, ideology and political activism, but it is possible to talk about PC culture without having to venture SO MUCH into the left/right divide or identity politics, to the point of almost neglecting the actual topic. Would have helped if the moderator had actually defined political correctness so that everyone was on the same page.
    37
  1718. I have never trusted Joe Scarborough!! I still do NOT 'get' what Mika sees in him - and doubt I ever will!! Thank you for your excellent 'catch' and spot-on commentary!! SO great to have your voice/videos on YouTube!!
    37
  1719. For what it's worth, if they're demonetizing you, it's a sign you're doing too good a job. They're scared of you, man.
    37
  1720. Evangelicals are just craven bigoted people who use their religion as the vehicle and excuse for their own scumbaggery. They only back trump because he looks like them and he hates who they hate.
    37
  1721. If corporations are ā€œpeopleā€, then why do they have more rights than we do? Theyā€™re effectively sociopaths with limited liability, and they use their excessive wealth to manipulate our government into repealing regulations that protect our health, our wallets, & our environment. Now think about this, Wall Street is back to their old ways and hedging derivatives again while congress is simultaneously passing deregulation bills. Guess where those banksā€™ losses will be expensed when the house of cards fall? We will be the ones to pay for it even though they earn billions and donā€™t believe in giving anything back to society.....And the trolls on here call us libtards, when it is they who lack the rational foresight of wisdom.
    37
  1722. Chris Matthews wife was running for congress in the primaries in Maryland as a corporatist supported by the Clinton machine in 2016. Luckily she lost to a progressive who went on to take that seat. Chris Matthews very afflicted with conflict of interest.
    37
  1723. Remember when they said Milo and Richard Spencer would just get better. Where are they now?
    37
  1724. David she knows full well about black face being wrong! This was just an issue with Kim Kardashian and her make up line. Also on college campuses they were having black face or thug parties it was all over the national news. So she knows itā€™s wrong and since when are black people characters? I am the same age as Megan and it was never ok even in the 70ā€™s and 80ā€™s!
    37
  1725. Alex Jones literally said Liberal are coming to murder Christian conservatives and all republicans should go buy guns and ammo and wait for the civil war. Thatā€™s why he was banned. Should we allow ISIS to speak too? Nazis? Anti Semites? Racist haters? Nope.
    37
  1726. Unbelievable. Regardless of your stance on immigration, I think most of us can agree that punishing immigrants' children (who had absolutely no say about their parents' decisions to come here) is cruel, heartless, and immoral.
    37
  1727. Love both these guys, very smart honest and real, we need more speakers like them
    37
  1728. Harper set Canada back a decade. The entire country increased voting rates to make sure we got rid of him. He is despicable. Most of the political machine fear Bernie Sanders because he has been trying to, every day, move the country in a position more fair to citizens. That, more than anything, scares the lot of them.
    37
  1729. A vote for NDP over here. One policy in particular made me feel incredibly satisfied; the raise of corporate taxes. Large corporations have had their perpetual cuts for over a decade & it has only benefited them in the long run. Unfortunately, no one's talking about lowering of, or abolishing corporate welfare.....sorry, i mean, subsidies.
    37
  1730. Hey David, Kyle Kulinski of Secular Talk gave you a shout out in his last 'Secular Talk(ing) smack' video. šŸ˜
    37
  1731. Think about the example sheā€™s setting for her fans too. It seems like all of the advancements weā€™ve made in technology & connectivity in the last 10 years have helped catalyze a shift in peoplesā€™ values where weā€™re arriving at a new era where young people are getting woke & wanting to stay informed on world matters in-part thanks to comedians like Jon Stewart & Stephen Colbert for using their platforms to really try to make a difference & get people to care, rather than wasting time on the Kardashians & the Jersey Whores (no offense to whores). I hope we see more musicians setting an example by staying informed and promoting change like Cardi Bā€™s doing. I knew I liked her.
    37
  1732. DĀ², great progressive style and presentation. You present a practical solution for progressives.
    37
  1733. That woman is an idiot, American news media full of people that don't know what they are talking about and I would say they guck up 90% of the time when mentioning the UK, how dare she compare Corbyn to right wing American clowns and despots whilst promoting oligarchies, not a reaction or correction from the presenter too, useless!
    37
  1734. I'm so glad you showed the graph of how many people were in favor of Nixon's impeachment over time. I was just thinking to myself early in the video that I'd like to see that, and you practically read my mind.
    37
  1735. dead on, dont play into the rights broken narrative
    37
  1736. Also, appreciate your coverage of Trump is based on policy not drama. Too many outlets are obsessed with speculation but there is too much being ignored.
    37
  1737. Nathan J. Robinson, a Yale Law School graduate, who is trained to know and deal with all of Ben Shapiro's tricks has also challenged Ben Shapiro to an open debate. As of right now, Shapiro has refused. The closet thing anyone will get is an article Nathan J. Robinson penned in Current Affairs titled "The Cool Kid's Philosopher". He really picks apart every lame argument Shapiro makes on multiple issues. Someone even messeged Ribinson on Twitter, I believe, that they would rent out an auditorium at the University Of Michigan for the debate. Either way, it seems Shapiro will continue to "debate" students and comedians rather than an Ivy League trained law student such as himself. Ben Shapiro's fanboys will act as if he's still awesome even though he declines all of these debate challenges.
    37
  1738. I agree with Mike Hamlin. This is what happens when employees are not unionized. Employers can really screw you in a big way. I have nothing against the wealthy who worked hard to get where they are, however when you screw your employees because you feel they don't deserve a wage increase , then the owners of Tim Hortons in Coburg need to be called out and shamed. they better realize that Karma is a bitch!
    37
  1739. He got his 1% Tax Scam passed after decades and he was paid for it while doing it. Heā€™s all set. He can go and live the American Dream lavishly now. Ever see his house? Smh. He will go into the private sector and kick back. Randy was going to kick his ass anyway. Itā€™s not a mystery.
    37
  1740. Joy Reid is the daughter of a Preacher. Her family is from two very conservative regions of the world South America and West Africa. Coming from very conservative and very Christian Roots you can understand that there had to be a struggle. I myself can relate, coming from a very conservative Christian household with a father who is also a Preacher Man. Cleansing your mind from that type of conditioning takes a minute. A person can get pretty sheltered. Today I have two friends that I consider very close Brothers to me who just happened to be married to each other. The entire country is in a growth spurt including Joy Reid
    37
  1741. These are the same guys who believe climate change is a hoax and that evolution shouldnā€™t be taught in schools unless creation is taught alongside it!!? Letā€™s face it these are not honest actors, little can be achieved unless both sides are debating facts and not fallacies or false equivalencies.
    37
  1742. You asked, "Who am I speaking to in this video, because if you've watched this far, then you probably already get it." For one, you are talking to me. I have recommended your channel to several people who have called me in alarm, not knowing how to cope with the events in Gaza. I recommended your coverage because it helps to hear someone speak sanity on this situation, out-loud and to the world. It makes me feel less alone in my horror and sadness. It makes me feel more sane. It empowers me and makes the truth rise a little bit. We need to give voice to these truths. Thank you for your coverage on this. Thank you for your tone.
    37
  1743. These companies have every right to ban a person from publishing on their platform, but they could have given a better reason. Instead of saying ā€œitā€™s hate speechā€ or whatever similar thing, say ā€œhosting this personā€™s content (which often makes unfounded allegations) is too much of a legal liability for us to allow them use of our platformā€
    37
  1744. since you're starting out, i'll watch the ads at the beginning and not skip them. i gave your show a plug on TRNN and a few people watched your channel david. i'll do what i can to get you some more traffic, i like your commentary
    36
  1745. This wonderful woman needs to run for president, I'm glad she's from my home state OHIO. She's right nobody here in OHIO is worried about Russia we worried about jobs, these crooked ass cops and social issues. Worrying about Russia ain't going to help nothing here in OHIO.
    36
  1746. Neoliberal pieces of sh*t. Edit: Wow your channel is growing extremely quickly!
    36
  1747. Holy Crap. I hadn't even heard this. I don't know David, Anna's got a lot going on in her life. She would have to drop all that and go full in for a Senate seat that is fully entrenched in business as usual. Granted, Feinstein is "oooollllddd". I Lived in San Francisco when George Moscone and Harvey Milk were assassinated basically in front of Feinstein. Which alway's made me wonder way she wouldn't come out stronger for some sane gun control policies. Her acquiescence on the torture report with the CIA really raised my eyebrows If this is real I'd back Ana. In a New York minute. I don't know though, this seems kind of out there. I guess we'll see P.S. thanks for the shout out the other day. I pronounce Magin with a hard G, as in go. Love your work, keep it up.
    36
  1748. Fantastic breakdown! You dismantled him on every single level.
    36
  1749. David, you're the man!
    36
  1750. One thing that needs to be addressed with concern to this conflict. It's not about a 'fair fight'. This is not a fight. This is a massacre.
    36
  1751. This is such a well done information. I like how David mentioned how television influences culture, but most importantly, how he broke down how the right-wingers are propped up by billionaires. Really starting to love David, and he's rapidly becoming one of my favorite left-wing hosts!
    36
  1752. To me, perhaps the most disturbing thing in that video is that alleged progressive Van Jones responded to Santorum as if he was a serious person making a legitimate point, instead of calling him a fucking idiot for suggesting that it was on school age kids to solve the gun problem themselves instead of calling on lawmakers to do it.
    36
  1753. You are 100% correct. We can spend less and get more. In fact, let's rearrange our priorities here in the US and stop giving the military money it doesn't even request or need. Or how about a fair tax plan? Actually taxing corporations? Stopping the huge subsidies we give oil companies, the richest and most profitable companies in history? Taxing capital gains and the 1% like they should be taxed? I can keep going, but I think I've made my point.
    36
  1754. Always be aware of the bias in whatever media source you follow. I read a lot of BBC articles (they are less garbage than any mainstream American outlet), but I essentially ignore their articles on domestic politics and certain international stories. Whenever the UK establishment has a stake in the story, the BBC is not great. Just like the NYT, Washington post, etc for American establishment. The difference is, the NYT almost exclusively covers topics that they can insert their bias into. I expect these progressive YouTube channels to also have their own bias, which is why I also try to follow mainstream and even some conservative outlets.
    36
  1755. About Shaprio, his show, the Daily Wire, is owned by Forward Publishing LLC which is owned and managed by the billionaire Wilks Brothers.
    36
  1756. Live like there is no tomorrow!. Hug tighter. Look longer!.
    36
  1757. The Democratic leadership's pathetic attempts to win the suburbs (No we haven't forgotten Chuck Schumer's ecstatic proclamation, ā€œFor every blue-collar Democrat we lose in western Pennsylvania, we will pick up two moderate Republicans in the suburbs in Philadelphia, and you can repeat that in Ohio and Illinois and Wisconsin.ā€) has empirically proven to be an utter disaster. This political consultant-driven groupthink is conformational evidence of their deep desire to completely abandon working class Americans. Any contrived expectation, or assertion, that Orange County, CA - the birthplace of the John Birch Society - will have to align itself with a candidate touting liberal values straightaway for the Progressive movement to have legitimacy, is ridiculous on it's face. That sort of worn out effort to artificially raise the bar for a particular candidate or kind of campaign in order to set up a pretext to invalidate them later, is as transparent as it is stale and trite.
    36
  1758. I didnā€™t catch this. I was way too busy following Harry and Meghan! Did you see her veil? Or hear Charlesā€™ speech?? Or see the sidelong glance Kate gave Camilla?? And the hats they wore?? Oh the HATS! Ooh!
    36
  1759. Telling High school kids they don't have the moral authority to talk about gun reform... The cool kid's philosopher everybody!
    36
  1760. I love your natural voice, but I also loved your Bernie Sanders impression and this Ben guy impression too :)). Greetings from Italy
    36
  1761. Lewandowski's response is exactly what I feel for his pathetic life.
    36
  1762. Most conservatives have zero sense of humor... or a very simple one... It was an amazing comedic act in front of the toughest audience ever.
    36
  1763. An American could not deliver this with the same Genuine Indignation and Resoluteness LOLOLOL. Perfectly done. Thank you, dear Canadian friend David!
    36
  1764. ew ew ew. not only was ford cut from the same cloth of politician as trump, it looks like he also stole and bathed himself in trump's same putrid orange artificial oompa loompa tan. his speaking style is soooooo awkward, with the unnatural pauses and odd sudden pitch-shift emphasizing. he comes off as a completely incompetent wannabe evangelical preacher, whose failings only shine a giant spotlight on how completely disingenuous and full of shit he is. gross, vote him away, canada.
    36
  1765. Is it just me or is Trump the physical embodiment of all the worst stereotypes about Americans come to life.
    36
  1766. The most underrated video everyone living in USA should watch this
    36
  1767. There are actually some groups that do want to protect the environment based on the Christian idea that God gave man dominion over the earth, but they say that means taking care of it, not exploiting it. Some are...Blessed Earth - Serving God, Saving the Planet, Catholic Climate Covenant, Coalition on the Environment and Jewish Life, and the Christian Vegetarian Association. There are many more if you want to research them. Unfortunately, their voices are drowned out by right wing "Christians" who think we should use the planet however we want, including poisoning it.
    36
  1768. I like how you point out that Scotland is a country in the UK. A lot of ignorant Americans think Scotland is part of England so it needed saying. Also, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland the other 2 countries that make up the UK have free prescriptions too, England does not.
    36
  1769. The thing about a boycott is the power goes to the people who decide what they want to do. If itā€™s offensive enough people will boycott, likewise if itā€™s not then they wonā€™t. Obviously it was and therefore the advertisers pulled out. You can neither blame anyone but the person who is being boycotted. If youā€™re an asshole on tv and someone calls you out well maybe you should think twice on being an asshole. Bill M is an asshole and this is why heā€™s worried and says such things. Bill has become so powerful that he doesnā€™t like the illusion of power or curtains pulled back.
    36
  1770. Liked and subbed. Not just because you supported Bernie with your piece, but because the channel name checks out. Rational discussion, backed by evidence. Thank you!
    36
  1771. why tf is youtube demonetizing this??
    36
  1772. CNN would have a debate on if its raining one person will yes the other no and then CNN will say is it raining opinion is spilled we may never know. When they could just go outside and see
    36
  1773. You'd think this is obvious stuff that doesn't even need to be said, but there are still people out there that don't understand that fundamental difference. If you accept money and push a pro-corporate agenda in return like tax cuts for the rich, then you are a sell out. Accepting an investment, but not giving anything in return or return of investment does not make you a sell out because you're not selling anything for that money. This is the trick Ben Shapiro plays by flipping the issue on its head and distracting from his own pro-corporate corruption.
    36
  1774. I LOVE it whenever you make comparisons between our system to those of other countries. Our flawed education system (as well as the media) have left most Americans uninterested in learning about other countries. Calling it uninformed ethnocentrism would be an understatement. Great coverage David. šŸ‘
    36
  1775. Brand was just on Joe Rogan Experience and it was a great conversation.
    36
  1776. I like Oprah, but I don't think she wants the headache of the job anyway. Also..I'd be worried about what her policies are. You can't fool me again with the black card or woman card to get my vote.
    36
  1777. "They don't know what they're voting for" I listen to CSPAN call-in shows and can't tell you how many times I hear things like: We need to elect Republicans so we can get the minimum wage increased!!!
    36
  1778. Russell Brand's take on neoliberalism is SPOT ON! Just watching Bill squirm was priceless! Notice how quickly Bill shifted away from Bernie, while Russell would not let it go. Thanks for sharing!
    36
  1779. Neoliberalism ain't working for Democrats. Progress or Regress. Subscribe & Share- this is great commentary!
    35
  1780. i just realized your support has almost doubled since i found you a while back congrats. on an important note she might be the worst host on msnbc and she shares that network with former fox news host. progressives my ass
    35
  1781. Great video David. I agree 100%. Bernie is very genuine. That, plus his policy positions were what lifted his popularity to rock star status. #stillsanders
    35
  1782. Yes. Fascists should never have a platform.
    35
  1783. Iā€™m definitely stealing ā€œlow bar olympicsā€. Thatā€™s fire on multiple levels.
    35
  1784. US politicians joking about genociding Koreans is particularly inappropriate due to the history of the US having killed 20% of Koreans during the Korean war.
    35
  1785. I'm not sure how these wayward people come across his particular arguments and agree with them. Peterson is a fraud. Honestly though, his suit is very nice. Bad politics, not so bad fashion sense.
    35
  1786. Happy New Year David! (btw, these jokers don't even know how much a really warm new jacket can go up to. They should visit Edmonton or Yukon any of these days)
    35
  1787. You should make a video about Canadian conservative, and how they are different from USA conservative. But other than that great job on these videos
    35
  1788. Happy your back. Please don't go especially when there are too few rational voices in the media. I'm having a tough time watching TYT recently but your coverage is always spot on.
    35
  1789. Not to mention I have health insurance, and I still had to pay out almost $6000 for my daughter's birth. It cost over 1500 for anesthesia for my older daughter for an oral surgery. Even being insured, things still cost tons of money out of pocket depending on your plan. I get like 3 bills from any procedure. I get a bill from the anesthesiologist (because they don't work for the hospital and charge separately), a bill from the hospital for the use of the hospital services, and a bill from the hospital for the actual anesthetics for the procedure. It's ridiculous. What a pain in the ass being on top of all these bills is. A single payer system would alleviate so much of a headache.
    35
  1790. Hi David. 3rd video. Just subbed. I love this Richard Ojeda guy, too. But I'm exactly like you: If Bernie runs, game over. I'm absolutely a Bernie guy. But I really do like Ojeda. He's a good guy, and his direct manner of speech is how a Democrat should talk. He comes-across as an instantly likable, relateable guy who can actually talk to people. This will be interesting.
    35
  1791. I do comedy, obviously Iā€™m nowhere near as successful as Dave and I doubt I ever will be, but I gotta his comedy has changed Lots of people know him as being absolutely brilliant and hilarious, which he was on [AS] and still is, but his comedy has become a lot less comedic and a lot more performative This is fine, Bo Burnham is a performer first comic second, and heā€™s brilliant. I just feel like the reasoning of ā€œIā€™m a comic I get to say what I wantā€ is a bit weird from a guy who has clearly shifted AWAY from traditional comedy. Many of his sets sound to me like political rants with a few funny quips/stories interspersed throughout. Iā€™m totally down with freedom of speech and all that shit, I just donā€™t want this to be a ā€œcomedy versus cancel cultureā€ discussion because thatā€™s what the right wants it to be, I think this is a performative choice by a man who may or may not hold his own biases, and we need to talk about it that way.
    35
  1792. Peterson is an odd bird. His thinking is so convoluted and overly complex. I have no clue why he's so popular. I recently watched his debate with Matt Dillahunty and I couldn't believe the lack of logic Peterson displayed and I have to roll my eyes every time he answers a question by saying "oh, that's complicated" and then proceeds to complicate the answer with his verbal B.S.
    35
  1793. This is what the gilded age looks like. Hey they need that 8th vacation home in Turks and Caicos
    35
  1794. My dad's a conservative and even he's not against marijuana.
    35
  1795. Abolish ICE!! Proud to be a DSA member. This is what it will take to get our point across--we will no longer tolerate hypocrisy and child abuse and human rights violation. Power to the PEOPLE and not the corporations!
    35
  1796. He explains this so we'll. We use these techniques in the mental health facility where I work. He is great! Thank you, for this David. Something else we learn in training is the importance of a healthy diet. So many contaminates in our food and stress and exhaustion encourage us to make use of fast and processed foods.

  1797. I really like your analysis your David especially the way you eviscerated that ridiculous political article. I just wanted to add that if you want any hope of winning whether you are progressive or a Democrat you actually do not want to be associated with Hillary Clinton in any way shape or form. Because Hillary Clinton symbolizes the values many progressives are against, like low minimum wage, low Union participation and worker protection, more corporatization, larger Banks, and more fracking. Not to mention she rigged the Democratic National Committee to work against Bernie Sanders and she still has people lying for her about the faux Russia Scandal that they cooked up, even though they didn't want the FBI or anybody else to look at their servers. So I'm going to see it again if you're associated with Hillary Clinton from here on out you don't deserve to win regardless of your political affiliation, because you are supporting the elite of our country instead of the working class. And to make matters worse, her supporters hide behind the guise of breaking the glass ceiling and attempt to dismiss and discredit any legitimate criticism as openly misogynistic and hateful behavior.

  1798. Poor Joe. He represents a state that has legalized marijuana, soon to be available for retail sale in July. Also noteworthy that the MA State Police Association was adamant that when it was decriminalized in the state that they would no longer pull cars over for possession. This expedited the medical and now legal marijuana in MA. He doesn't want his job any longer.
    35
  1799. Maybe at his next event he can do a cover of ā€œWonā€™t back downā€ by Tom Petty.
    35
  1800. I donā€™t understand how this Peterson guy has gained popularity. Heā€™s not the intellectual he seems to think he is. And yes, these fragile white snowflakes have taken the art of projection to a new level.
    35
  1801. I call this behavior an attempt to manufacture public opinion against Sen. Sanders. The establishment FEARS this man n what he will do if he comes to power. MLK would be proud of Bernie, I would imagine.
    35
  1802. This guy is following Trump's footsteps. Fake populist for the rich 0.001%.
    35
  1803. Love that intro XD
    35
  1804. Omg I thought the title said "for shooting wife" and I was like, damn joy reid needs to seek professional help for the delusional alternative reality she's living in! I mean I still kind of feel that way regardless..
    35
  1805. It's like the US is stepping further and further past the provocation of war to see how much they're willing to get away with before retaliation occurs from China, Russia, or some third-party country. This behavior is down-right scary and I believe it's worse than the Cold War and Iraq War propaganda spewed during those time periods. What does it take for these Neo Cons to actually admit they're wrong for once? When the United States gets blown into pieces by a nuclear warhead?
    35
  1806. Michelle Wolf was brilliant. She has also been defending herself from some of the ridiculous tweets at her with humor, as in when she said she never said anything about Huckabee Sanders' looks, but some reporters seem to have an issue with them. She should tell Mrs. Andrea Greenspan that she'll consider apologizing when Mrs. Greenspan's husband apologizes for helping to destroy the global economy and renounces Ayn Rand.
    35
  1807. Wow you are dead accurate on addiction. I donā€™t think Iā€™ve ever heard someone put it so eloquently, and thatā€™s coming from a former-addict. I met people from all different walks of life during my road of recovery from prostitutes to lawyers, and at some point it became clear that addiction is just like you said, secondary to underlying issues like depression (or anxiety in my case). The actual drugs-of-choice became irrelevant because we were all using them for the same reasons whether it was to feel numbness, normalcy, joy, or because it brought out the best in ourselves. Itā€™s difficult when society marginalizes you like youā€™re a second-class citizen, but at the same time, it has given people like myself a newfound humility, understanding, & acceptance toward people whom society deems as lesser. Long story short, I really admire you for taking such a well-informed stance on this subject and trying to promote awareness, and you can count me in for a Patreon subscription.
    35
  1808. Incredible to see the impact that the green party has. This is a movement that the media fears and will not cover but it's for the greatest issue of our time.
    35
  1809. Jordan Peterson has the most triggered fans on the planet, for people who claim to be anti-pc and pro-free speech they sure hate their God getting the slightest bit of criticism.
    35
  1810. I bought my electric vehicle in May 2018, literally weeks before Ford won. Thank goodness. I still haven't received my rebate, though. I never would have been able to afford this car without the rebate... the idea that it's all rich Tesla snobs who are buying EVs is ridiculous. I'm a university student.
    35
  1811. We need to raise the minimum wage to a reasonable rate and then increase it with inflation.
    35
  1812. David, speaking for all us older, much older, Bernie sisters & brothers, we value & honor the young people speaking 'truth to power'. We support them & are immensely pleased to welcome them to membership in "Bernies Tribe", my description. The retrumplicans, with orange boy, created the 'tribalpolitics'now part of the political system. So the least we can do is, jump right in & make our tribe extremely visible. Show them our determination to take a stand. Let them know that we're here, & we're not goin' anywhere!
    35
  1813. Even by people outside the US, his popularity cuts across the society. Heā€™s one of the last of the dinosaurs, real politicians fighting for the people, who wants to serve the people. I hope he leaves the democrats and run as an independent. If the democrats screw him again, which they would do. The people would have lost their power, votes means nothing, if the choice is not there.
    35
  1814. If you know anything about Pat Tillman you would know that dude would have been kneeling before black people. Pat was a real man and he spoke out about the bullshit this country does. The more he learned the more he did that. Most white people are way cool with that ducking song being about what it is and having black people stand under it. A lot of white people want a lot from everyone else for their comfort.
    35
  1815. thanks for proving the Ayatollah's point, graham
    35
  1816. I'm not Catholic but this Pope has all my respect! He's not just giving lip service! He's the true meaning & true example of Christianity!
    35
  1817. "Saw the light--or money . . ." I love it. Thanks for exposing more of the creeps. So much so disgusting.
    35
  1818. They've been telling us he is unelectable for years, they've tried everything they could to undermine him but they failed. The mainstream media and the government are running scared and confused. I've already sent off my postal vote and i really hope for sake of everyone that Jeremy Corbyn wins this election.
    34
  1819. I loved it too, David. Yes, make them uncomfortable! And they are correct when they say that we should no longer be nice. I agree!
    34
  1820. Im a bald dude and I hate how these guys are among my only Halloween choices
    34
  1821. Jordan Peterson was taken out of his safe space for a brief moment, had a temper tantrum and needs to put on his diaper and go back to the alt-right crib. Dyson brought up facts while Peterson kept complaining about the language Dyson used. Who's the real triggered snowflake?
    34
  1822. It's a single test: if a politician takes corporate money, they are a tool. There is no such thing as a progressive who takes PAC money. Period. If Senator Gillibrand stops taking corporate money, I'll consider her a progressive leader. Same goes for Booker or Harris. As long as they keep taking the money, though, they're fakers who are just making noise.
    34
  1823. Today my last time I buy coffee from you. I'm worker also I will stand beside those workers.
    34
  1824. Jordan Peterson's argument isn't even accurate of present day society and how its laws work in regards to pinning responsibility and by implication guilt in things like organized crime and gangs. Police go after people and charge them with a crime based on how much you've intentionally contributed to the functioning of the criminal organization, so yeah group rights and guilt DO exists even in our present day society and law system.
    34
  1825. I think conservatives in Canada are pretty much like conservatives in the USA. They will vote for right-wing parties no matter what the leaders do or say. Ethical or moral issues will not effect how they vote, so their leaders can get away with pretty much anything. Look at how they still support Trump in America. He can lie, cheat, steal or do any kind of corruption but as long as he panders to them and plays their game, he is good. It's pretty much the same with Doug and the Cons!
    34
  1826. Great video! Thank you! Born and raised in the UK, the US healthcare system is just straight-up OBSCENE to me. Health for the well-off?! Wtf is that?! Many parts of US governance are just....mentally ill. That's the best way I can put it. Thanks again for a great video , you earned my sub, dude
    34
  1827. Chuck Todd is literally OBSESSED with centrism and "moderates", it's literally all he talks about on his show.
    34
  1828. But, but they hurt right-wing feelings....šŸ˜„
    34
  1829. just like trump ... decisions that have repercussions with no plan to replace. Let him screw everything up. Election reform NOW
    34
  1830. This is a really great point. I had no idea Canada basically escaped the 2008 recession
    34
  1831. A government that doesn't invest in health and education is a pointless government.
    34
  1832. To Ben Shapiro I would like to say, to you conservative commentators I would like to say, STOP CRYIN' YO! Get the chip off your shoulders. Just a lot of typical sour grapes here. Always negative, condescending, dismissive, mocking and complaining about something that makes African Americans feel good about elements of their culture being placed in a powerful, independent, regal light. First, you do realize this is a fictional movie, correct? Do you have the same visceral response to all fictional movies? Most fictional movies are a blend of fact & fiction. Most films have an underlying message along with being entertaining. This is basically the same; it blends historical fact as well as current fact with fiction. Why be so threatened by Black joy. You guys are sick. Get over yourselves!
    34
  1833. Not really on topic but it seems to me (being a US citizen and not knowing shit) that this Ford is as corrupt if not more so then his brother and he is gaining ground and giving the orange Cheetos (45) a run for his money on who is the most corrupt.
    34
  1834. This is why I get my news from YouTube you have people like David, Jimmy, Kyle, and others, giving objective and comprehensive accounts of what's going on not just in our society but in how the lens by which we view our own society and its problems is itself, flawed. I think the viewer should be informed in the very public manner that people like Rick Santorum are being paid by the National Rifle Administration and should not be treated as if he has a valid conservative viewpoint. For example Marco Rubio has received more money from the NRA then he has from the US government as working for Senator. At that point he is not simply sympathetic to the NRA he is their employee. This is analogous to how CNN used to pay Corey Lewandowski when he was still part of the Trump campaign to come onto the show and spread propaganda. Thank you David for revealing these hypocrites.
    34
  1835. His grandfather was one of the biggest gangsters in American history
    34
  1836. "Progressives live in bubbles as well" - best advice of the day David! We must keep open minds and open hearts. We must always be ready to listen, debate and hold our moral and ethical line. Wars are won not by better firepower (money) or raw destruction (loss of liberty and freedom), but the steady build up of the will of the people. We will take back our country one election at a time. Within each victory, we will have a mix of beliefs and sentiments. Let's not let feelings lead us, but issues. Fixing our country, requires a complete redesign, rebuilding and resurrection of our psychological, intellectual, social, industrial, financial, and moral/ethical architectures. These are the big structures, not the petty ones. And this work requires big people, not petty people. So let's be boig, go big, win big and make big things happen.
    34
  1837. So many layers of excellence to this piece - thank you! You are doing your part, and THEN some, in bringing truth, reality, and humanity back to the conversation.
    34
  1838. wonderful choices, just what we need. Keep on keeping on, your hannel is great.
    34
  1839. How does the ACLU raise $28 Million in one weekend, and the DNC can't even raise $4 Million in an entire month? The DNC is determined to lose again in 2018, and lose again to Trump in 2020.
    34
  1840. ''the younger generation now tells me how tough things are give me a break I have no empathy for it'' Is that your 2020 slogan there Joe I don't know if Biden has any presidential aspirations but I'm inclined to believe he doesn't considering a number of likely 2020 candidates have indorsed single-payer healthcare and he hasn't so he's either politically clueless or not running by the way Joe a new analysis found that young Americans make 20% less than baby boomers no empathy?
    34
  1841. Bakari Sellers really let me down. He is usually one of the moderating voices in all this political mumbo jumbo, but it appears he has taken to bashing Bernie for whatever reasons or political gain with the neo-liberal, corporate elite Democrats. Take a CLOSER look Mr. Sellers!
    34
  1842. This chanel is the most underrated Hopefully not for too long wish you the best
    34
  1843. First time watching one of your vids and I'm subbing.
    34
  1844. So Elon Musk. I used to try and defend Elon for a while, but after donating to GOP PACs and accusing the Thai cave rescuer of being a pedophile, not so much. I think I tried defending him before because in some ways he's brilliant (he learned rocket science from a book and has a (supposedly) photographic memory)) and hopes to better human society in monumental ways, but frankly he's being a hypocrit and an asshole. I realize now, the mental gymnastics I would have to go through in order to give him the benefit of the doubt for any of these incidents. I suggest Musk stick to the science and future tech realm.
    34
  1845. You hit a shame nail on the head. Thanks!
    34
  1846. I always knew the Conservative would split, but I thought it would be the more "progressive" conservatives reforming their old party; I didn't think it would be an even further right, libertarian party. But yes, shit just got real.
    34
  1847. Proud that my country could set an example! Love your videos, lots of support from a portuguese fan. :)
    34
  1848. Republicans are so corrupt and so servile to corporations they have to rely in the most uneducated, bigoted, and religious sycophants in the country as their base. Itā€™s the only way they get votes, the only educated Republican supporters are well to do and wealthy people who understand the Republican policy will help them sustain wealth and increase it.
    34
  1849. The best part about this is that the conservative party paid actors to come and "support " Mr Doug haha . I'm an Albertan I would to hear your opinion on our up coming election. Thanks love the content
    34
  1850. Nina Turner is such an incredible woman and is stronger than an army of white male trolls. David please heart my comment or you'll hurt my feelings. jk, just keep making these kinds of vids <3
    34
  1851. I think the smart decision Canada made in its judicial appointment process for the Supreme Court is only choosing from among Santa's helpers.
    34
  1852. Liberal media is non existent. It's owned by giant corporations run by conservatives. You might get a slip up from a random host on CNN or MSDNC, but that's to keep up the illusion of any type of left leaning programming.
    34
  1853. I think Ms Nina should run for president...
    33
  1854. You're "new" to me this year. I so enjoy your perspectives. Explanatory and incisive are the adjectives I find so endearing in you.
    33
  1855. Ro eventually had to give in. That's the power of the people. Remember that. No other centrist would do this.
    33
  1856. We decriminalized marijuana up to an ounce which made the smell test illegal years before we voted for full legalization here in MA. The majority of politicians are against legalization here because of links to big pharma especially around the Boston area. We voted for full legalization last November and we have yet to have a dispensary open. It was almost like pulling teeth just to have medical consumers have legal access to it. Which was legalized a long time ago. Keep up the good vids !
    33
  1857. How can you be anti LGBT and also a liberal? Even in the Democratic Party, which has been dragged more center than left, that's conservative.
    33
  1858. Is she admitting to writing those posts?? ... because I can't tell šŸ¤”
    33
  1859. I agree, I really think we put too much weight on what a bunch of landed, slave-owning white men thought would be a good idea for people like them over 200 years ago.
    33
  1860. "shooting their television" ???? ALL T.V. LIVES MATTER!!!! jk, thanks for the story!
    33
  1861. Barbara Lee is the best person in Congress. She has been fighting for people the entire time she has been there, and was the ONLY CONGRESSPERSON to vote against giving increased powers to Bush on a September 14, 2001 vote. Even Bernie didn't have the spine to do that.
    33
  1862. Elizabeth Warren is responsible for taking a republican-raised guy who had absolutely no interest in politics, and inspiring him to become more open-minded towards the world. Her efforts in Congress began to make him question everything he thought he knew about this country to the point that he felt like he was living in a blurred reality. But with an education in business & economics, there came a day when it hit him and he finally woke up. That was the day I shredded my Republican voter card and became an outspoken free-thinking advocate for the progressive movement because I believe it is our countryā€™s future and I want to be a part of it. When she talks about this grassroots movement thatā€™s taking place, sheā€™s speaking truth. But I understand why people are apprehensive to trusting her. She hasnā€™t always been the most consistent senator. And whether or not she ultimately tries to distance herself from this movement, she will always be responsible for helping to create it by inspiring people like myself to stop being apathetic to whatā€™s going on in the world. For that, Iā€™ll always be grateful to her.
    33
  1863. Thanks for the video David. I'm glad you addressed this. Ana should've deleted her Tweet and she should've apologized instead of letting this descend further into some serious negative territory for TYT. I'm stunned by Cenk's reaction on some of those videos you showed. These are some of the same people who criticize Don Lemon and others in Corporate Media for always being so pompous and doubling down. This could've easily been resolved from Ana taking down that Tweet but now it's a total runaway train. And will it get worse? It seems as though TYT has become such a big platform that they feel they can be this arrogant. They know that Trans People is a sensitive topic, one that's always being stoked by far-right authoritarian types. It's all very troubling.
    33
  1864. Please continue making videos. America needs vocal strong voices like you to counter the corporate agenda that is crushing the working class. Way too often are progressive voices silenced but you have a level head that could even sway some conservatives if they gave you the chance.
    33
  1865. I hope we Socialist Democrats can repair our broken party. We seriously need to fix this!
    33
  1866. Stephen "Let's just pretend unregulated capitalism didn't cause a world-wide recession in 2008-2009" Harper talking about how progressive economic policies would be "ruinous". What a sad joke!
    33
  1867. I completely agree with your rankings here. I'm a firm supporter of both Sen. Turner's and Sen. Sanders' policies (I personally made over 2,100 calls phone banking for Bernie's campaign last year), and yet Corbyn undoubtedly outshines them both in terms of actual progress made as well as his relentless persistence in the fight. Bravo, David, and Happy New Year from Portland, Oregon. ā™”
    33
  1868. It's obvious to 80% of the country. Unfortunately that 80% doesn't have a say in how we as a nation approach the issue
    33
  1869. Exactly right on how democrats campaign vs. how republicans campaign. Most people know what republicans stand for. Democrats don't say what they're for. They just say shitty platitudes like "oh they're just for the rich, but we're for everyone," "lead with our values", "break down the barriers", "we stand for change" and my personal favorite, "love trump('s) hate". It's like the democrats WANT to lose. Pitiful.
    33
  1870. He is Richard has been saying this for the last year. He is very ethical. He spoke about Bernie in a very good way.
    33
  1871. Perfect way to approach this with younger Neo-Nazis, especially if they have not been with these groups long. We need to reach out to these people. People like David Duke are a lost cause. To defeat them, take away their support by pulling as many people out of that world as possible. Yes, protest Nazi gatherings in your city, but learn out to talk with them and find out their motivation. You can then work to lessen it and then eliminate it.
    33
  1872. She probably thinks Tony Blair was an outstanding leader....šŸ˜’šŸ˜’ In reality, he was a centre right war criminal!
    33
  1873. Great comment, David Doel. I believe that being ignorant is not an unforgivable sin. Being complacent is. In this case, Cenk Uygur has clearly recognized his flaws and risen to the occasion. I am are regular listener of yours. Even though I am a naturalized U.S. citizen and have lived in the U.S. South since 1998, I am Canadian-born and grew up in Shawinigan, QuƩbec. I would love to hear more about your own journey. How did you become interested in U.S. politics? Do you anticipate a corporate takeover of Canadian elections? How do you feel about the Canadian Conservative Party shift to the right of the last three decades? What are your thoughts on Justin Trudeau? How do you feel about Jagmeet Singh, Elizabeth May and the Canadian progressive movement in general? I wish you tell us more about your experience running as a Green Party candidate. Thanks.
    33
  1874. I find it so disturbing how much CEO's think they're worth. Also nice shirt by the way.
    33
  1875. We don't deserve a politician like Bernie Sanders.
    33
  1876. David: well said. Couldn't have said it better. Interesting thought comes to mind...thirty years ago, I was about twenty. Had a job working in a warehouse and made approx. $13-$14 / hour. That was the average. Fast forward to today.... Cost of living has gone up since then but what is the minimum wage today? Average cost of a house or rent today compared to thirty years ago is waaaaaay up there by comparison. ....and so the spiral continues.....income disparity continues as the gap between the Doug Fords of the world and a mere mortal like myself gets wider... Essentially, for these past thirty years I have been working as hard as the next person, but in the end, I've only been treading water.... Why do little people always overwhelmingly vote against their own self interests? Why are politicians becoming more and more dishonest? The older I get the less interested I am with the whole of it. As far as I can tell, no matter the colour of the stripe, in the end the outcome remains basically the same.
    33
  1877. Great video šŸ‘ Its all about capitalism. Trudeau said he would start reperations and it was all a show "inquiries" into that many deaths, if it were white kids there would be uproar. He bought a damn pipeline, without having actual customers! 4.5 billion dollars could have gone to Renewable energy or housing on the Reserve's or maybe they could have fixed the water crisis they're having in most Reservations! He's such a tool!!
    33
  1878. If you won't judge his shirts, David, I will.
    33
  1879. from a scarfed muslim woman living in Sydney Australia, I thank you David for bringing this to light backed by research. much respect and appreciation. ps. so tired of walking on eggshells.
    33
  1880. Well she got what she deserved. Sorry to all the people who lost their jobs because of her. She honestly seems disturbed, remember she promoted pizzagate...
    33
  1881. Thanks! You are the best @David DoelšŸ’™šŸ’™, my own outmost favorite host.
    33
  1882. Jordan Peterson is a petulant, self absorbed child in an adult's body.
    33
  1883. I don't get how it is such a hard concept, nor do I understand this tendency for white people (like me) to act like this is some sort of insult to white people. It's not- it is simply an objective fact. They don't seem to have trouble realising that they have the privilege of being born in a first world country such as Canada or USA as opposed to a war torn or poor country- this is the same concept. It doesn't mean that people in those countries do not struggle, it means that they are already better off just based on where there are born. Same concept as white privilege.
    33
  1884. Good. Very good. This is how it is done. Be ruthless toward oil, gas, and PHARMA companies.
    33
  1885. I think you do a very good job, David. I may not agree with absolutely everything you post--though I far more agree more than disagree with you--but that's not the point. I know you're telling the truth as you see it, without any corporate owner pulling your strings, and that is the best anyone can do. Keep up the good work!
    33
  1886. Thanks David Another fantastic video, refreshing to see prison incarceration problem from a Canadian ā€œwhiteā€œperspective..and yes, when it comes to police culture , itā€™s about about Blue culture, not black, white or Latin , Blue lives matter and blue code of silence,, etc. . I always knew about the problem of mass incarceration, and how big business or industry it is, but it was an eye opener to see if from the documentary on Netflix called ā€œthe 13thā€ , basically sums up how this is the new slavery. Enslaving poor people mostly visible minorities , blacks and Latin, and forced to work for less than a dollar a day ( recently we saw many in the California fires working side by side with fire fighters, and most wonā€™t get hired after doing their times in prison. Thanks again.
    33
  1887. Another reason that these men are paid with stock options, is that they are taxed at a much lower rate then someone who collects a paycheck.
    33
  1888. Dave, you have rational and moral judgement on these issues that I think those on the left will eventually get around to. Bottom line is the left will ALWAYS be silenced at any opportunity. Alex Jones and Mike Cernovich to Richard Spencer want the left to be silenced and have gone through get lengths to diminish the left. We have been far too tolerant and this is about the public exercising their right to speak. If a Nazi comes to my neighborhood and starts promoting his ideas on a massive platform, frankly I have the right to push back and exercise my speech too. If the rest of the people in my hood feel the same, well that's what you call populist pushback.
    33
  1889. I am looking forward to this 35 minutes of Rational goodness.
    33
  1890. Our founding fathers also said the constitution is a living document that is to be revisited every generation and amended for the times ....and we rarely do this
    33
  1891. This is Orwellian messaging control at its fullest. Any sane person should be extremely concerned about it. This is not some small thing, and it will not go anywhere good from here. The people need to seriously rise up and speak out about it. We need fundamental change before it's too late.
    33
  1892. Blink once if you need help !
    32
  1893. Hi David, your comments are interesting and validated by the young voters who came out in record numbers, they were engaged by a positive hopeful message from Jeremy. My prediction is the Tories will implode, it will be over brexit. The right wing extremist DUP want lots in return for supporting Mrs May, the cost will be to much for some in the conservative ranks and the knives will be sharpening as I type this ready to plunge them into Mrs May's back... So a coalition of chaos has been forged, mrs May looks weak and wobbly... Jeremy Corbyn holds out a positive message, progressive and attractive. The SNP also got a 'poke in the eye' the Nationalist separatists and UKIP have been put in their place, I hate nationalism...I'm an internationalist, borders, walls and barriers cause wars... when will we ever learn!?...our children deserve to have a secure future and a society that cares that believes in human rights, not a cold hard Thatcherite market place a world where isolationist, protectionist idealism reigns Nobby Clark, Wales uk
    32
  1894. Nina Turner needs to call her ass out...yes,please! šŸ™šŸ¾
    32
  1895. 3rd parties can only exist if you are allowed second preference votes.

  1896. I'm a registered Green in California. Work place bullying is an important issue. It needs to be defined clearly. Allegations need clear facts. Berating and belittling should not be allowed, but what are the facts? Threats of firing for incompetence should not be made orally. They should always be put into writing as a job review spelling out how the job is not being done to standards. "Respect has to be earned" is not an example of "bullying". "Having a hostile way of speaking" is very subjective and it may have hostile intonation, but again, tone is not enough. An employer yelling at staff is not per se bullying. Thanks David for reviewing this. Seems that there is no there there. It sounds like there is a higher expectation of May because she is in the Green Party and Greens should be more kind and considerate than other political people. Based on what I'm hearing, May sounds exactly like a private industry person, so is lacking on that count. .
    32
  1897. Still listen to Howard all the time. I love that he doesn't fuck around with these people.
    32
  1898. I really liked Avi's distinction between optimism and hope. It's pretty much how I have felt for decades but was never able to put it into words because I always viewed optimism and hope as synonyms. So I'm a hopeful pessimist. šŸ˜
    32
  1899. Apparently Kanye doesn't understand history or institutionalized power.
    32
  1900. As I stated before, the lesson is.. Black Pro athletes are good enough to Work For the NFL BUT NOT good enough to work WITH THEM. As in I.E own part of a team.. it's hell trying to get in I'm sure. And that's when the steering begins...
    32
  1901. Davids shirts are WAY better than Trudeau's socks.
    32
  1902. 11:29 Just wanted to point out that the poll you referenced where Fetterman was tied was actually against Parnell. So every poll against Oz heā€™s won.
    32
  1903. Weed did help convince me psychedelics were ok. Turns out psychedelics are also ok. So if by gateway drug you mean "gateway to the 4th demension via an expanding third eye" then ya it sure was a gateway drug
    32
  1904. Thank you David for covering Canadian politics in a way that people abroad can understand and appreciate šŸ™ŒšŸ»
    32
  1905. Daddy HW Bush actually threatened to withdraw funds from Israel for pouring into Palestinian territory, something thatā€™s never happened since! āœŒšŸ¼
    32
  1906. You are awesome David and your videos are amazing! A win is a win
    32
  1907. THANK YOU!!
    32
  1908. impressive fair report...so rare these days.thank you
    32
  1909. David, I agree completely with your position. Ayahuasca and other plant medicines have a massively positive effect on people and society and those of us who have had an experience MUST talk about it. Those who haven't experienced but want to MUST talk about it. Once upon a time Marijuana was a closet, shame and fear related substance but because people spoke out (Mark Emery) now Canada at least has some freedom.
    32
  1910. She is amazing and completely spot on!....What a smart and thoroughly engaged woman she is!....She is doing what many won't do; use their fame as power to start making the changes that are desperately needed....I am encouraged to see that she feels a wider calling than being on a popular show...but I also like that she does not let the establishment paint her with the progressive brush that automatically incurs criticism and instead talks about being a "better" Democrat. that's smart...
    32
  1911. Thanks, David Doel. Became a Patron yesterday. I live in a small town in northern B.C. known as "The Gateway to Alaska", "Aluminum City" and most importantly, "The People of the Snow". I've noticed that again, American Conservatism is poisoning Canadian discussion on matters of vital importance. I don't want Canadian policy dictated to us by The United States of Amnesia...
    32
  1912. It seems to me that people in the US have forgotten the proper way to protest. Even their media personalities are saying that protesting is not civil. That is a very stupid point of view, in my opinion. There is a big difference between protesting fascist people who are supposed to be public servants and are locking kidnapped babies in cages, and merely being rude to another citizen. Maxine Waters is absolutely right in my view, but I'm one of those socialist Canadians who believes that the gov't should listen to the people in a free society. Politeness is not going to cut it here. The Vietnam War didn't end because people were polite. MLK didn't march to Washington to be polite. The US mentality is so far right that the more lefty types don't even realize it anymore. That scares me.
    32
  1913. ford sounded like he was doing a sermon, it was annoying AF
    32
  1914. Yo David, you should check out TJ Kirkā€™s ripping apart of Ben Shapiro. Very cathartic.
    32
  1915. "...he just... doesn't know... how to say the word Chinese..." LOL when your Canadian desire to not strike someone down hits it's maximum threshhold. You rock David!
    32
  1916. During the time of the last conservative government the health ranking of our indigenous nations fell sharply. They have worse health care than most third world countries...and that's a federal responsibility. I'm not surprised by Scheer's stance. He doesn't care about Canada's indigenous people either. He's a Settler through and through.
    32
  1917. Corey Lewandowski loves picking on women and children. He is a craven coward.
    32
  1918. Notice though, the individuals following Peterson become zombies. Do they ever challenge their dear leaders thinking?
    32
  1919. I am writing from Bolivia. Evo Morales term was until January of next year. He won the elections of past October 20, 2019. He won with more than ten points of difference from the second candidate. The loser did not accept the results and claimed that there was a monumental fraud. And then, all the most radical elements of the far right decided to support the loser. Mesa, the name of the opposition, decided to alienate with the fascists, and called his supporters to mobilize. Which is synonym to apply violence. To my surprise, this far right were very well organized. They have paramilitary civilians armed with bazookas. And the terror started in the streets. This movement is extremely violent, racist and irrational. Fascists. Together with the police and army had implemented the coup de ta. The paramilitary force organized by civic institutions, union juvenile crucenista, is a racist and very violent group of people. Any one that has some Indian factions are beaten, humiliated and terrorize. What happened in Bolivia today, is a fascist over throw of a Democratic elected government.
    32
  1920. Spot on, David. We had to turn to independent voices like yours on the Internet to even learn who Bernie Sanders was in 2015, and we heard nothing but Bernie bashing on MSM in 2016.
    32
  1921. I wonder why there are no scary overblown warning labels on alcohol. Alcohol has caused millions of accidents, assaults and deaths. How many has marijuana caused?
    32
  1922. Dean Cutler I once believed that. And I grant you you have a noble intention, Iā€™m sure. However you do realize that your right-libertarian/anarcho capitalist vision would completely destroy civil rights in the United States, right? It would quickly revert back into pre-civil rights era savagery. After the Civil Rights and Voting Rights Acts you get considerable more racial equality and national prosperity, despite the reduction of some negative freedom, I believe net freedom for all peoples was increased. Pure negative freedom would undermine all progress towards racial/sexual/religious freedom. Thatā€™s why during the civil rights era the bigots of the south switched from language of segregation to language of negative freedom, and freedom of association. Thatā€™s why they say ā€œitā€™s my right to live in peaceā€ or ā€œI can discriminate against who I like. Itā€™s my right.ā€ To enforce de facto, not de jure, segregation. Thatā€™s why the Republican Party of today has its strongest supporters in the same states that supported Jim Crow and made up the Confederacy, for one. Itā€™s all told to us very well in a book called ā€œWhite Flightā€ by Kevin Kruse. The local white homeowners in Atlanta resisted actual desegregation for many years after old Jim Crow laws were repealed, until the civil rights legislation came in. This phenomenon actually spread in the reaction to civil rights in the 70s, and civil rights has been able to curb it to a great extent. But they continue to be successful at it in many ways to this day. Youā€™ve heard of white flight, the practice of redlining, and the tyranny of local homeownersā€™ associations. Read the Kruse book. Understand it. Youā€™re young I imagine and so am I. We donā€™t really appreciate how terrible things were in those times. We imagined people would just play nice once you remove the state. Not true. You say we shouldnā€™t interfere in private business, well then does that mean youā€™re ok with legalizing slavery? I know slavery was often enforced by states, but often times it operated outside of the law, and if thereā€™s no government there thereā€™s very little to prevent slave markets from being established. Look at Africa. Iā€™m not talking Stalinism or authoritarianism, but you do need strong liberal (in the classical sense) government to enforce these norms. Sorry. Iā€™m sure youā€™ll come around.
    32
  1923. The suffragettes did exactly the same thing in the Royal Albert Hall during a political rally. They just kept shouting ā€œvotes for women, votes for womenā€ until they could get them down. Fantastic. They got themselves inside the ceiling the night before and waited until the meeting was at its peak and then lowered themselves down.
    32
  1924. Things like this is why people like Bill Maher and others in mainstream media frustrate me. Wether or not you agree with David it was Laura Ingram who was the bully. So David is supposed to just sit there and allow Laura to smear and spread fearmongering propaganda about David and his friends. Does Bill not realize that people like Laura is the reason why we can't have any reasonable or sensible debate on gun control. Like you said, all he did was punch back. I'm an independent, but can we please stop pretending that conservatives don't boycott or try to deplatform liberals. It happens on BOTH sides.
    32
  1925. David, that was awesome. You stayed calm, unlike me, or you "managed" your anger better. And you laid it on him. All that shit he was chucking was being paid for by the NRA etc..point after point you nailed him. Thanks for your brilliant hard work.
    32
  1926. this video is so great! i was raised by republicans and i remember believing that i was privy to some Secret Knowledge because i watched fox news rather than the cnn or msnbc Liberal News Media, but especially when i look back at coverage of things like the war on terror and the 2007-2008 financial crisis, i literally see no difference except sometimes (a lot of the times) fox news is more blatantly racist and classist and all the rest. it makes me wonder what i even thought a ā€œliberalā€ was šŸ¤”
    32
  1927. I hadn't heard of Tim Walz till you did your piece on hoping the dems would choose him for VP. Well done sir., you were correct!
    32
  1928. thank you for being consistent on social issues, and for criticizing the democrats for caring too much about rhetoric over policy without catering to the "the sjws are ruining the world!!!" side of the left. i hope more people begin to realize we can care about more than one thing at one time lol
    32
  1929. Hefty endorsement of Corbyn here. Interesting to be reminded of how hostile the establishment was towards Mandela... we take it for granted now that he is, and was, universally revered and respected.
    32
  1930. Good on Eddie Glaude! This beyond disturbing. Trump & Netanyahu are fascist thugs. The Palestinian people in Gaza are not trying attack a "border" the Palestinian people are trying break free from a concentration camp and open air prison that right-wing Zionists have put them in! How soon right-wing Israeli Zionist forgot the lessons of the neofascist Nazis. Israelis have become the very thing that they were persecuted for in Germany and Poland. Did Israel forget why they have the land they call Israel? It was given them as a place to escape ethnic persecution. What Israel is doing to the Palestinian people is nothing short of genocide and Apartheid.
    32
  1931. He is a privileged white boy that got caught with his hand in the cookie jar and is mad he got caught and has to explain himself for being a lying POS.
    32
  1932. I agree with you on Chelsea Manning. A true defender of the public's right to know about hidden examples of state sanctioned murder. One of the few who understands and practiced the Nuremberg Principle. I will be joining your Patreon subscribers.
    32
  1933. I am a US citizen, but I escaped to Canada 15 years ago...My close friends and family in America are all progressives...like you, they cannot fathom how conservatives can cling to immoral principles...for politicians, the answer is GREED...for voters, the answer is total lack of understanding...
    32
  1934. Here we go, first he's not done yet cutting to schools , he's going to cut programs, raise the cost to go to schools and do you even want to hear what he's going to do to the health system? Hey though everybody is going to save 10 cents on their gas, by the way has that happened yet?Anybody notice? Anybody? Welcome to America jr.
    32
  1935. First time I've see David get flustered by how heartless and backwards this administration is.
    32
  1936. Incredibly sad. He will pay for tax cuts by stopping all or almost all transit expansion, selling highways to his mates for toll roads, slashing disability and welfare. Best quote of the day was my neighbour "he won't be so bad". No he will be much worse than people think
    32
  1937. This just proves that Neoliberalism is more of a joke and is one of the reasons why Neoliberalism is no longer popular.
    32
  1938. Also wanted to say that I watch Kyle Kulinski, Ana Kasparian, Pakman, Breaking Points, James Li, Max Alvarez etc and your coverage in particular has recently become my favorite! I really look forward to your videos and to the perspective youā€™re spreading. Keep it up David!
    32
  1939. SubscribedšŸ™ŒšŸ» lol I love how you cover both AMERICAN and CANADIAN politics. I completely agree with your views and points in your videos. Keep up the fantastic hard work āœŠšŸ¼
    32
  1940. Biden talks one way and votes another. He voted for he worst Clinton bills. He was mr. jail them that lead to the explosion of prison population.
    32
  1941. ohhhh my goooosh i tooootally didn't see this coming! šŸ™„ She's actually a big part of what pulled a buddy of mine to the right... now he's angry, depressed, and outraged by a bunch of things that don't even effect him. Fun stuff.
    32
  1942. David, thanks for covering this very important topic. Keep up the great videos brother!
    32
  1943. I think Jordan Peterson has some good ideas, but there are flaws in his arguments and worldview. His views towards non-whites and queer people kinda shows he has some blindspots. I don't believe him to be a bigot, but he has a problem acknowledging hardships faced by those who don't look like him or live like him.
    32
  1944. Whenever things like this get reported, whether it's peaceful protesters being gunned down by the IDF, or water protectors getting brutalized at Standing Rock, the Mainstream Mefia almost always uses the passive-voice in their articles. This is because the passive-voice removes any agency from the action. You can say that "people were killed" but you don't have to say who did the killing. Not only that, it removes any mention of who started the violence (and even suggests that it was the people facing the guns, rather than the ones holding them.
    32
  1945. Protests by definition arenā€™t polite! Hey wait, I thought progressives were the snowflakes??!! Iā€™m here for it!! šŸ‘šŸ¾šŸ‘šŸ¾šŸ‘šŸ¾āœŠšŸ¾āœŠšŸ¾āœŠšŸ¾
    32
  1946. Awesome video David. Thank you soooo much for covering this article!
    31
  1947. Sorry to hear this. Shameful
    31
  1948. I'm not crying you're crying.
    31
  1949. McCleod-Skinner beat Shrader with one very simple ad. She exposed exactly how much money he took from pharmaceutical lobbyists. This was especially effective because every ad he ran was about how much he cares about high drug prices.
    31
  1950. Our Revolution backs progressive candidates also.
    31
  1951. Teachers can't teach evolution or sex Ed on top of being grossly underpaid with shitty healthcare. Yet Florida wants to give them Glocks?
    31
  1952. Great job on this analysis, David!
    31
  1953. I think Trevor Noah said it best: this administration is beginning to understand what it feels like to be a persecuted minority.
    31
  1954. Kyle from Secular Talk made a video advocating Trump being on the right side but the only issue for him is Trump won't keep his word. As a fellow Canadian , I see many progressive channels view the economy specifically trade as a black and white issue. "Trade is either good or bad" and it irritates the hell out of me. Trade is an essential part. Of course like any other thing, it can abused.
    31
  1955. Dyson destroyed snowflake Peterson at 8:35. he's mean, he's white and he's a man. he didn't say anything that wasn't factual.
    31
  1956. As a Puerto Rican I'm glad you covered this topic. I am,unfortunately,used to my country being cast aside and ignored,just like Guam and other US colonies,and by you doing this and people watching your video,I can see that we are not entirely forgotten.
    31
  1957. $77Million tax exemption each year. This Right HERE IS THAT DOUBLE STANDARD FOR BEING GODLY AND A CHRISTIAN!!!! WHAT DID NOAH DO BUILT AN ARK AND LET CRITTERS ON, WHAT DOES THIS SUN OF A BITCH DO RIDES OFF WITH THE MF ARK AND TELLS EVERY ONE TO SWIM!!!!!! MF's Built this bogus ass ark and now he won't let them in ?!!!!! āœ‹āœ‹āœ‹āœ‹āœ‹āœ‹šŸ™šŸ™šŸ™šŸ˜ˆšŸ˜ˆšŸ˜ˆšŸ˜ˆāš”āš”

  1958. I fucking love this guy.. i was HOPING someone would talk about this.. i was furious when they said this on morning joe.. i literally blew up their comment section when i heard Joe
    31
  1959. I watched your interview with Dimitri Lascaris and for the first time in my life, I joined a political party. Thank you for introducing me to a man whose vision I can agree with.
    31
  1960. I have two ads before the video. I am in Europe. If itā€™s still demonetized YouTube is scamming you. Already a patron btw.
    31
  1961. That's why I like listening to you Doel. You go beyond the surface and give facts. Great research. Keep doing what you're doing. It's great to see the younger generation still have the ability to think analytically and rationally. #Kudos
    31
  1962. In the United Corps of America, its profit before people!
    31
  1963. This was a great video! I learned a lot and Hope people like you and Jimmy Dore can get some real Democrats elected that don't LOVE war!!!
    31
  1964. This has been a heartbreaking setback for me. I am also glad to see there are options out of this dark mess. Thank you for enlightening us! Keep up the good work.šŸ™šŸ¼
    31
  1965. Imagine being on the left and standing on the side of inciting violence (on multiple occasions, this is NOT a one-off) over standing behind victims. Also the public has speech in response to Jones, how does this get ignored in the narrative?
    31
  1966. left parties have like 70% of the vote . Cananda needs Rank choice Voting,
    31
  1967. All U.S. soldiers are conservative and religious according to the religious conservatives.
    31
  1968. The conservatives are a joke of a party and have ZERO concern about the everyday people.
    31
  1969. I haven't forgotten the Mike Harris government, 80 more years we get our highway back from the Spanish
    31
  1970. holy shit david, 21k subs now. you've gained a ton in the past few months, i think mike propping you up helped to get your name out there, the rest was you keeping the audience. keep it up my fellow torontonian
    31
  1971. 'Curiosity killed the cat' Worst deflection ever. Lol.
    31
  1972. Finally, at least some regular news guy has basic sense. Can't stand the "on both sides" false equivalency. It's important that we fight this narrative.
    31
  1973. I want to say, ty David for what u are doing for our country. I know u live north, I almost moved there after the election with my two teens. But i decided to stay and fight thanks to your insight along with tyt, secular, humanist, jimmy, etc. In my beginnings of on line learning... It wasnt so great, my youtube took me to places I was blown away by. Then, i found progressives. Thank God. I'm an older (59) viewer and i found out how naive i was. To look back 3 yrs ago is amazing. Ty for all u do.
    31
  1974. @Kathy Goodwin Rho Khanna only take private donations nothing from pac's or corporations, max 2.700 USDĀ He's district is silicon valley so getting donations from rich people from silicon valley is not strange or wrong they are the constituency, even rich people are allowed to vote and donate and max amount 2.700. The point is if you only take donations from individuals you have so many donors and so small amounts that you are not beholden to them. Rho Khanna is a justice democrat so if you have information that he takes corporate money please reveal it since it would damage the Justice Democrats to sponsor such a candidate and they have to get rid of him.
    31
  1975. I'm Gen Z & I voted in Va šŸ™‹šŸ¾ā€ā™€ļø I'm sweating though no cap šŸ˜°
    31
  1976. Good job to MSNBC, and good job to you as well for acknowledging them. And thank god we still have Sanders.
    31
  1977. I get the flu shot every year yet I still got a flu and missed significant time off. I needed those sick days.
    31
  1978. How does a school kid administer CPR with an active shooter wondering the halls blowing students away?! And shame on CNN and its weak sauce, milk toast panel for letting this NRA bought out chucklehead politician get away with this stupid answer!
    31
  1979. This was one of the few times where I was impressed with Cory Booker because, like you said, it seemed genuine. Kirstjen Nielsen had that coming. And thank you for not discussing the ā€œshit holeā€ saga. Donald Trump is racist and the sky is blue, tell me something I donā€™t know. The bigger story being undercut (IMO) is what Tom Cotton & David Perdue weā€™re doing at that meeting in the first place.
    31
  1980. Wait a few years . His habits over the years will tell you where his heart is at !
    30
  1981. All the arguments of the right are mostly invented, it's because there's nothing that the conservatives offer to the average person.
    30
  1982. Bought a shirt today. You're welcome. You're my favorite Canuck. Watch you every day. Keep it coming...šŸ‘ŒšŸ‘šŸ‘ā—
    30
  1983. The worst part is, NONE of her supporters know where she stands on ANY subject politically. Their excitement is PURELY based on her celebrity. I don't get what was so great about her speech, but this certainly exposes how far we have fallen as a society. Lastly, it's insulting that people are so quick to dismiss the most popular politician in America right now, who is Bernie Sanders, someone whom EVERYONE knows what his stance is on every important political topic. What the fuck has Oprah EVER done in getting involved with political or social issues?
    30
  1984. Great show David, and great news! Fetterman is the man. If you want to watch some heartbreaking interviews search YouTube. Braddock is the petri-dish that exposes the cultures that help diagnose what is happening to America.
    30
  1985. These sorts of videos should be more common on this channel! Stand up for what Canadians have achieved, indeed!
    30
  1986. Legality does not equate morality! Thank you! Great video!
    30
  1987. Peterson tries to instill fear with his fans. Bill c16 is an example of how Peterson rather than being objective, creates these hypotheticals to freak out fragile snowflakes. Important for his followers to stop living in fear, fantasy and start looking at facts and the real world.
    30
  1988. I read somewhere that John Fetterman looks like if a "Union" was a person šŸ˜‚
    30
  1989. Warren seems to be falling for the BS that she needs Wall Street on her side to win..........oh how far you have fallen Liz, tsk tsk
    30
  1990. Nice job! Greetings from Berlin!
    30
  1991. The Rational National just donated 10 dollars:)
    30
  1992. YES! This is beautiful. Why can't these governments support RENEWABLE ENERGY! SOLAR, WIND, GEOTHERMAL!!
    30
  1993. I get your end point, it's like how creators slip in dirty jokes past censor. It's like what Bernie said, "If you ask for a whole loaf, the worst you get is half a loaf. If you start by asking for half a loaf, you're going to get crumbs." https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=t27GNsNpjhk
    30
  1994. If Bobby Kennedy or MLK was still alive, there would be outrage expressed and in the news. So, what I am saying here is that we lack heroes with the will and the conscience to add their voice to the protest of someone who has no voice. If I was Rakem Balogun, I would get myself a lawyer and sue but that may only get him back his home and a place in the community; it won't shed light on what is happening so that there is less chance that somebody else is not a victim. Sad state of affairs....
    30
  1995. We DO know gun laws stop gun violence. It worked in Australia, UK, Japan, Western Europe, etc.
    30
  1996. For a guy so concerned with individual rights, Peterson sure does want to screw over a lot of individuals.
    30
  1997. maybe he's a TR trype republican. TR was one of the most progressive POTUS in US history as a republican. his nephew was more progressive but TR * was* progressive. lets see what his platform and rhetoric looks like
    30
  1998. Davidā€™s words never fail to be music to my ears. I wish more people had this kind of rationality.
    30
  1999. Real rational voice of the left. David is not just commentary but real analysis. Also is that a new shirt?
    30
  2000. Jordan Peterson is the "I can't even" of the aggrieved entitled snowflakes on the internet. The pathetic thing is he's not an adolescent but a fully grown adult but identifies as a undeveloped teenager.
    30
  2001. The crushing poverty caused by neoliberal economic policies...
    30
  2002. Graham logic ā€œIf it doesnā€™t effect me, kill them all!ā€
    30
  2003. One thing I've started to take for granted is how you always give full context for the topics and news stories that you touch on. You do it in a way that most people wouldn't even think of. I'm extremely appreciative of that. More than you'll ever know. Great video and thank you for the work that you do.
    30
  2004. I have seen very few other online outlets covering this. Thanks for putting this story through a moral frame work.
    30
  2005. Can't help but notice some of the audience is cringing SO hard on the inside. I don't care about how he decides to use language. Talk is cheap and ultimately this means nothing for the poor.
    30
  2006. Thank you for sharing the truth about the Canadian health care system. This sort of personal testimony may be the most compelling method for neutralizing the lies of the fear-mongers in the U.S. And, Geez, thanks for the research on this one. You went above and beyond to listen to Ted Cruz as long as you did. My stomach was turned by that one little clip. It will be so refreshing when that oily character finally goes away. Good to see my state senator, Maria Cantwell, standing with Bernie, too. Hopeful!
    30
  2007. Take the win! When/if she makes a misstep, point it out, but until then, stay skeptical, but take the win.
    30
  2008. American Enterprise Institute = Libertarian cave dwellers
    30
  2009. Maybe it's cuz I just slammed a fat binger, but damn David, this was one of your best!

  2010. That teacher's speech should be on of the progressive's campaign commercials. Let the Trumpsters rationalize around her situation. And she is nowhere near alone. Sadly, Trumpsters will rationalize. I have lived all over the world, and in Asia, teacher are venerated. They are well paid. Asians understand (almost to a fault) the value of educating their children. But what do we do with Trump money (our taxes) we cut taxes to the uber rich and the oligarchies, we pump more money into an already bloated and inefficient intelligence and defense industries, while we continue to export our industrial capacity (middle class jobs). We are committing suicide for the short term gain of a few. Progressives - Avant! Vive le guerre!

  2011. I hope that Corbyn becomes PM. It would be good for everyone, in my opinion. Any sensible person knows that a strong nation helps its most vulnerable people. The UK leadership has been punishing the poor instead, making the whole nation, and hence its allies, less stable. Here in Canada, for example, I think that a Corbyn leadership in the UK would help pull us away from the 'red-scare' war-mongering that has been gripping much of the west, including UK conservatives and the US political class in particular, and allow us all to get back to forming proper employment and social service programs.

  2012. You and Benjamin Dixon have had the best takes on this. It's not hard to understand the violence enacted by Jones and the obvious outcries from the public would put pressure on tech companies to do something. Why should Jones continue to keep breaking the terms of service and why is the left defending this?

  2013. Dave do you know how much I love your work? I donā€™t skip adds.
    30
  2014. 1:50 EXACT same thing happening here in Toronto. Our politicians serve foreign speculators. How is that legal, making foreigners rich at the expense of their own citizens' welfare?
    30
  2015. "This argument that kids who are 17 should be making all the public policy" -> It's the same bullshit tactic as "people say Black Panther is more important than MLK". His shtick is getting old
    30
  2016. Slowly everyday I lose faith in humanity. Way too many stupid people or stupid and or corrupt people in the world.

  2017. I agree, she needs to be more positive in her message, kinda like Bernie. I know she's frustrated and maybe a little bitter with the government, but not everyone has the same level of distaste twrds them. We just need to ensure that the government is doing what's right for the people.
    30
  2018. Geez, and people on the left are supposed to be the ones who are a bunch of snowflakes? Also, the mainstream media's reaction to this is exactly why shows like yours are popular, David.
    30
  2019. Even though he is right it is a "gotcha question" the fact he didn't answer it only prove that. If he has first said "well that's a 'gotcha question'" then gave the quick run down on how a bill becomes a law he could then have closed with "now which one of you are going to do their job and ask a real question." but no he didn't he avoid the question and prove he doesn't have a clue what he is doing.

  2020. well the Prez did mention that he wants equal time. That's sad though. They don't like truth. I'll make a lump sum contribution when I get paid next week.

  2021. at about 1:40 Maddow, O'Donnel, Hayes are progressives WTF is that Dave ? at 3:40 ahhh there's the nuance, ...so we agree then.....Thanks for the reminder on how to listen.
    29
  2022. I also stayed up till the wee hours of the morning anticipating a win for Labour. I am all for Corbyn and voted so. Thank you for this upload, very insightful David.

  2025. cory booker would be a great candidate if he wasn't cory booker. i'm gonna start calling these people 'breezy candidates' they look where the wind is blowing, and that's where they stand now
    29
  2026. Trudeau is a neo-liberal, the Canadian version of Obama.
    29
  2027. David you are sizzling. Love the shirt šŸ˜

  2028. thanks for continually shining a light on miss barbara lee! it's odd that more figures in progressive media haven't flocked to her as well, she seems like the real deal to me. great video as always david!

  2029. De-platforming is a very effective way to diminish the influence of any individual who may pose as a threat to anyone, especially if we are speaking on conspiracy theorists and reactionary-minded individuals who would create a cesspool of misinformation. Though, it is much easier when those have a smaller circle of influence to de-platform than those with a larger base. However, the endgame remains the same and that is the individual cannot espouse rhetoric on a larger scale. Those who are ardent "free-speech activists" don't seem to understand that, in the most civil libertarian means, we police ourselves, and thus, we do have the right to object and even take action to reassure that deplorable hate speech or misinformation cannot be further spread. Sadly, they prefer to exercise a sense of entitlement, as oppose to exercising personal accountability when it happens. When it comes to social networks, as long as they have guidelines, and if individuals wind up breaking them, they have every right to remove them from their platform, especially if we are talking about individuals like Alex Jones. They are still free to speak their rhetoric, but YouTube does not have to be forced to accommodate that individual, under the false pretense of free speech. If there is a slippery slope to be had, it is how we allow those on the Right to manipulate the conversation and create a false narrative, basically confusing the general populace, who are very simple in their thinking and bring to respond in a very fear-based manner. And thus, the result of that is what occurred in 2016, when Agent Orange was elected in the White House. So, "more speech" is never the answer in this regard. That's often regurgitated by those from a position a privilege, and not by those who are genuinely concerned about providing a more equitable future for everyone.

  2030. Nice haircut and nice shirt. The most stylist guy with woke takes. Thanks!
    29
  2031. Fetterman is dissing TikTok? The same Fetterman with the strong Twitter game that basically carried his campaign? Huh. Interesting.
    29
  2032. The US have lost their way . Society is constantly exposed to negative influence from conservative governments . The moral fabric of sociaty is in regress . And the disgusting display in Israel is exposing the lack of moral compass in American society . How can you not be disgusted with israels actions , unless you have sociopathic traits .
    29
  2033. How pathetic is it that she could get rekt that hard and everybody is like "Yeah, she'll win the 'no confidence' vote tho." Is this America now?
    29
  2034. Congratulations, David! Your channel is one of our favorites. Helping me through this hellscape of fascism and climate crisis. My boyfriend and I call you Our young Canadian friend. Keep up the great work.
    29
  2035. You are absolutely right when you point out that the outrage about Huckabyee-Sanders is really a cover for Michelle Wolf's withering criticisms of MSM and politicians.
    29
  2036. I agree regarding the 'serious blind spot' on the part of the Liberals, as you put it. It's a big part of why I lean more toward the NDP or Green Party in general. Many Liberals, including Mr Trudeau, just seem to miss the point on so many issues. I believe that it's partly to do with their corporate interests. They do some very good things, but they seem to lean toward the interests of corporations, like 'big-pharma' for example, rather than providing for the needs of individual citizens. They are a little like the US Democrats in that way, unfortunately. I want to encourage them when they do well, but they just can't seem to step out of that 'rich kid' establishment bubble at moments when it really would matter and make a difference for so many Canadians. They should consider those votes for next year. If they don't try to connect with regular folks, they may hand the government back to the Conservatives, who will try to undo a lot of good work.
    29
  2037. oh and these are the same idiots who would happily call Obama the antichrist. i mean, i'm not a huge fan of Obama, but Antichrist? meh.
    29
  2038. If Doug Ford wins, Ontario deserves what it gets. There's no excuse any more, with Trump in office, we've had a good idea at what Doug Ford in charge would look like. Edited to say, Kathleen Wynne having a Hillary Clinton moment with her "magical" reference just like pony's are to a single payer system in the US, so logical and empathetic funding of our health system and Provincial Government is "magical". That's ever a reason not to vote Liberal, same neoliberal bs, different country.
    29
  2039. The right-wing is constantly making threatening post and comments, like how Cruz did before the Florida school shootings, and was reported for his comments, but nothing happened to him until after Cruz gunned down all those kids. This is complete bullshit! Ever day I become more and more ashamed of being an American. Another example of white privilege and racism that runs in our government.
    29
  2040. Private Care homes are garbage. They are told before hand when an inspection is coming and they cleanup to meet those inspections. The PSWs treat the patients poorly. The food is disgusting. The facilities are gross. You have PSWs who are paid poorly and as a result they work at more than one location. I've heard and seen it. It needs an overhaul. COVID-19 exposed the weakness in in LTC. Edit: No study was needed for this. My mother was a PSW and I heard everything and my father was in a LTC.
    29
  2041. You would think YouTube was a bridge with all these trolls, XD
    29
  2042. Tax the rich, corporations and businesses and use it to build and maintain public assets such as housing in very large numbers.
    29
  2043. What do you expect of a representative of the American Enterprise Institute?
    29
  2044. Seems To Me, People Should Start Calling Him "Doug Fraud "
    29
  2045. Another fun fact... ON's carbon tax also exempted us from the Federal cabon tax thats sladed to come out next yr, so that 4 cent savings we get now will be replaced with a 10 cent federal cabon tax on gas when the feds engage a federal cabon tax across CA. I'm no genesis but it sounds like we'll be paying 6 cents more than we do now, weird how math works eh? Plus Ford will blame federal liberals for tax hike next yr and not his own ignorance or ideology. Real simple: You don't want cancer, emphysema or multiple lung & heart problems... STOP POLLUTING!!! or make poluters pay. Wow this ain't complicated.
    29
  2046. Did you notice that when the guest speaker was first about to say, "Bernie Sanders," Joe interrupted him from saying it?
    29
  2047. I wanna say thank you to david once again for giving a voice to important news stories every day
    29
  2048. My wife was teacher in Arizona. Its time to Strike!
    29
  2049. David, these are nice wins for America! With all the gerrymandering that the Right has managed, America has "miles to go before it sleeps!" People are starting to wake up! Tribalism seems to be a big problem throughout the world, especially in the US. As a Nation, we can learn so much from all of the advanced nations of the world. Each day, we are becoming more of an oligarchy. Keep up the good work, David. I appreciate your views on the agenda without name calling. That gets nowhere! Thanks again!
    29
  2050. Best $5 bucks I spend a month David..Keep up the great work!
    29
  2051. This law was literally passed while standing under a crucifix. This is grossly hypocritical and xenophobic. It's called the "religious neutrality" bill, but doesn't ban the crucifix.
    29
  2052. the USA spends way more per capita on health care than literally every other country on earth, and we are only ranked 39th.
    29
  2053. Cernovich was charged w rape and plead it to a misdemeanor and makes disgusting rape jokes all the time on twitter. He didn't like Seder's anti rape joke. Sam & Co are hiring a documentary film maker to make a doc on #WeirdMike so the world will know what a sick fuck he is. #IStandwithSamSeder
    29
  2054. Great program, I live in Toronto, so I was able to listen live last night on the radio. I'll be sure to tune in every Sunday!
    29
  2055. I warned people back in 2012 , when Trudeau was still talking about seeking the Liberal leadership, that he would play the Obama Game: telling us what we want to hear, then serving his corporate buddies as soon as he thinks no one's looking. I was dismissed as an alarmist, a pessimist and a conspiracy theorist. I was also worried about Jagmeet Singh, at first. I was concerned that he'd only play identity politics, and ignore policy. His statement here is encouraging, and I really hope this is the beginning of me being proven wrong.
    29
  2056. I'm a progressive, and this kind of nonsense makes me want to not be a progressive. So the Justice Democrats are "horrified" by Cenk's blog post? Really? Horrified? How about you grow up and learn that just because you are offended by something, doesn't mean you have the right to have someone else fired. You don't have a right to not be offended. This is shameful.
    29
  2057. Not all Christians believe that. Luke 18:25 It's easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle then for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. The establishment cherry pick what they want out the bible to control and divide us and fatten their already stuffed wallets.

  2058. Sanders/Lee 2020

  2059. Awesome commentary!
    28
  2060. Peterson is a professional complainer.
    28
  2061. You have to take willful ignorance into account. This backfire effect is not based in rational thought, but irrational tribalism. Most adults would rather live with a lie from the comforts of there secure lifestyle than acknowledge the truth and change there worldview. This tether is more important than the truth. This logic behind the support of Trump is the same logic behind the support of Hillary. Justification of there worldview only exists within the individual voter's mind no matter if it has merit in objective reality. When you make sound points against Trump or Hillary, this doubling down comes from the individual's insecurity, the changing of their worldview, with the ramifications of your points. Those who are reachable must have already accepted the errors of there worldview in objective reality and are open to new ideas. Your focus should be on how to destroy this tether and easing people back in objective reality like in rehab. In rehab, usually the best doctors are former patients.
    28
  2062. No...you did not end this segment with Luda! I LOVE IT!
    28
  2063. There rolls the deep where grew the tree. O earth, what changes hast thou seen! There where the long street roars, hath been The stillness of the central sea. The hills are shadows, and they flow From form to form, and nothing stands; They melt like mist, the solid lands, Like clouds they shape themselves and go. But in my spirit will I dwell, And dream my dream, and hold it true; For thoā€™ my lips may breathe adieu, I cannot think the thing farewell. - Alfred, Lord Tennyson
    28
  2064. Obviously he thinks Canadians are stupid , or he's to stupid to know the difference . But the real problem with conservatives is moral competence , and the value of human life depends on the color of their skin , or religion .
    28
  2065. David - this is roughly 10 miles from where I live. Thanks for your tribute. The volume and scale of this natural disaster has exceeded most people's expectations.
    28
  2066. In-fucking believable... get involved?!?. Forget about the Bernie Sanders revolution, forget about Occupy Wall Street, forget about the Dakota access pipe line protests, Black Lives Matter!!!. Joe just lost me... talk about out of touch... Old guard Democrats need to get out of the way. Ā What with the Democratic Party cheating the Sanders supporters in the Primary... (California - Placebo Ballets - See Greg Palast's work) or New York cheating the Primary voters.... Get Involved... I say "GET A CLUE. - JOE" Ā we are involved. Joe seems like a affable, likable guy, but ITS THE POLICIES - STUPID!!
    28
  2067. I remember when MSNBCĀ  firedĀ him speaking his mind ,Ā his Ā passion to get the money out excites me, run Dylan run - thx for this Dave !
    28
  2068. No one here is going to say its rude :) This was awesome it shows people power can make changes. People need to VOTE the republican majority out. Find your local justice democrat, DSA and indivisible endorsed candidates. June 26 NY 14TH district Alexandria Ocasio Cortez against the 4th most powerful democrat in congress is the next battle.
    28
  2069. Notice how Joy Reid visibly nods at Clinton while asking her a loaded question that she expects her to agree to. Classic fucking shyster-move. It's like she's Clintons handler.
    28
  2070. So, there goes the Republican Party's last hope of maintaining the House of Representatives, and here's to Randy Bryce soon to be the one replacing Ryan. If your Party's leader won't stay to fight then what hope to the rest of the "moderate" Republicans have in this and the next elections?
    28
  2071. Privilege is being able to live in a place where you eat every day and have power and just have to walk to your sink for water, but still feel oppressed.
    28
  2072. Rebel Media was also completely silent on those issues Doel mentioned in this video. To bring this back to Canada at least, I also didn't see Rebel or any other so-called free speech warrior on the right comment on the silencing of Sophie Labelle, the transgender cartoonist who had to cancel a book signing event in Halifax because of all the death threats she received from online trolls. Hypocrites, all of them.
    28
  2073. In my family we are paying much more than 10% of our income for insurance premiums, deductibles and copays! Plus our employer is also kicking in big bucks. We can spend less AND cover everyone. It would also create a lot of good paying jobs in the medical field as there would be more customers as people get the annual checkups, tests and care that they desperately need.
    28
  2074. Look, I'm for kids going back to school. My son is going to be a freshman in high school and he has spent WAY too much time home alone all day, being isolated. He needs to be around other people, other kids, and sticking to a stringent schedule. I can only do so much when I'm out working all day and he's at home. That having been said, some parents might be too terrified to send their kids back, especially if they have health issues. Yes to masks, yes to distance learning on laptops, yes to part-time rotation schedules. No matter what my school district chooses, someone is going to be pissed. No matter what my school district chooses, in the eyes of parents, they'll be doing evil and must be punished. And assholes like Betsy Devos only make all of this worse.
    28
  2075. Anyone saying Rachel Maddow is virtue signaling is as bad as Lewindowski
    28
  2076. Thank you for this. It's a perfect distillation of why we are where we are. 1 group in this country is headed by sociopaths, possibly psychopaths
    28
  2077. Another good piece David. I like it when you take the trouble to bring all the necessary material together. Bipolar is an accurate description of confusing Joe Scarborough. At the end of it his is a disservice to America. The root cause is not ideological but moral. That's the betrayal of the corporate Dems represented by Clinton. It went against the intrinsic moral dna that every human being is imbued with.
    28
  2078. i generally find the idiots on the right to be entertaining but cernovich makes my fucking skin crawl. i've never seen anyone harbor so much hatred and disdain for women. he seriously looks like one of those guys who goes crazy after a divorce and murders a bunch of women that look like his ex
    28
  2079. But Clinton was a centrist Third-Way politician who carefully crafted her message to win over independents and moderate republicans who warned us that if we adopted Bernie style politics we would scare them away, and now you're saying that "facts" and "data" show that coveted cohort actually crossed over and voted for Bernie, an avowed SOCIALIST, and then refused to vote for Clinton?!!? Next you'll tell me that Sanders is the most popular and influential politician in the country.
    28
  2080. This isnā€™t about ā€œIsraelā€ or policy or ideology. Itā€™s all about money. And the biggest amount of money is coming from the worst people, places, and factions/sectors.
    28
  2081. The Ontario NDP needs to make policy about jobs issues because many people in Ontario can't find good paying jobs. Here my suggestion for the Ont NDP: Easier to get into the Skilled trade, punish manufacture companies are planing to leave Ontario, make minimum wage a living wage, provide free post-secondary education tuition, and much more. now that is the policies that Ont NDP needs to focus in the 2018 election.
    28
  2082. THANK YOU super informative and now I feel more optimistic
    28
  2083. Exactly. You don't beat Trump's extreme right-wing Neofascist Republican party with namby pamby moderate Corporate Dems and paid-to-lose Neoliberal centrists; you beat them with in-your-face progressives, Berniecrats and Democratic Socialist.
    28
  2084. I love Iceland policies wow just pure amazing!! I don't understand how the United States can say we are the best country in the world?? It seems like many other countries are way better and way more progressive policies and a progressive agenda. I watched one of Michael Moore's documentaries where he went to other countries and explained to the audience the different policies and way of life and it seems like they are better then the U.S.A.. Also people seem much happier. I think the U.S.A should adopt more policies from other places instead of us trying to enact our policies on them
    28
  2085. This woman is a great example for us all.
    28
  2086. As a British Canadian who also lived in the US, thank you! I love your show and that you cover things that I have a direct interest in. Also the fact your political ideals seem to line up with mine most of the time doesn't hurt ;) Keep up the fantastic work.
    28
  2087. This sort of verbal "controversy" does not impress me very much, so until now I had no paid no attention to what it was that Chapelle said that set the ball rolling. Now that I have finally encountered it in your snippet, I must say I am surprised to hear Chapelle sounding so retrograde. He did not come up with a unique and comical new spin, he's flat out saying gender is a fact when for decades now the concept that "sex is biological/gender is a social construct" went from the heights of the ivory tower to literally everywhere, it's the very air we breathe. The cutting edge of the gender debate may be mind-spinningly abstruse and complicated, but most of us are now familiar with this idea at the very least whether we are in lockstep agreement or not. It's strange for Chapelle to not even acknowledge this whole debate and the distinction between sex and gender, and resort to a flat denial instead. Is he thinking the audience is unaware of the sex/gender distinction and that he can therefore conflate the two and make it easier for himself to ridicule it or negate it? This is an intellectual shortcut not worthy of him. I think this is the point where Chapelle falls behind the culture and society he's supposed to be satirizing and turns into Dennis Miller.
    28
  2088. anytime you are upset with some one lower in the economic ladder than you, chances are you are being manipulated by some one higher on the economic ladder than you. ( i think this is a jiiy dore quote but am not sure if he lifted it from some else.)
    28
  2089. I may not be old enough (16, 17 later this year!) to vote for her but I will for sure tell my entire family who is able to, to vote for her.
    28
  2090. Dave, thank you for this video that clearly articulates the concocted smear that is "Alt-Left". I will be sharing this video. You will be getting my support via Patreon. And I will fight this "Alt-Left" nonsense tooth and nail.
    28
  2091. Amazing video! I wish you made more Canadian politics videos. I feel like I know more about the US than our own country šŸ™ˆ
    28
  2092. This is unprecedented. I'm in awe.. msm speaking truth about Israel. Yes, credit where credit due. We give reward/some love when they're doing the right thing. Hopefully the people's love will motivate them to do the right thing. And of course my man Bernie is the only one with moral and integrity
    28
  2093. Thank you, David for taking the time and effort to carefully explore this incident and cover the nuance. This is the best and most thorough piece I have seen on this.
    28
  2094. Unionize! Unionize! Unionize!
    28
  2095. People shouldn't be against diversity. Different perspectives add to the unit and make the tribe stronger.
    28
  2096. "Moderate at best" exactly. It's so unfortunate Nina Turner is the only host that get's airtime. Major corporations should bring on David Doel instead
    28
  2097. Just under 10% of the United States population has a diagnosis of personality disorder. Not all people with personality disorders are Trump supporters but many Trump supporters have personality disorders.
    28
  2098. This is gold. So they're saying that back when she made the blog post, a short time after someone hacked the blog. Then a short time after that, it was archived to the way back machine. She has lost her mind.
    28
  2099. Appreciate your honest no-nonsense analysis.
    28
  2100. Menial jobs like a grocer or restaurant worker I'm not too concerned about. But it's ABSOLUTELY important that we keep white supremacists away from jobs of authority and jobs that lives are depended on. They cannot become police officers, doctors, nurses, judges etc. As a black man I wouldn't want a neo Nazis as my doctor.
    28
  2101. I wish u could run for office here David! Thanks for caring about this country more than we as Americans do...Sad!šŸ˜³
    28
  2102. Now the best political commentary available IMO. Succinct, emphatic, sharp and thoroughly researched without being verbose and repetitive, and overbearing. Much as I am a fan, JD please take notes
    28
  2103. Perhaps people think Jordan Peterson is a great intellectual because they cannot grasp what he is getting at, and believe that his comprehension must be beyond that of mere mortals. I agree with you that his mind works uniquely, but he leaves me in a fog. Personally, I prefer a smart communicator (such as Dyson) who cuts right through the confusion. I enjoy this channel because I always understand just what it is that you are trying to say. Thank you for consistently keeping things clear.
    28
  2104. Went you $. Everybody who claims to like you should. There ought to be a way to protest demonetization.
    28
  2105. Hopefully, Left-leaning voters go New Democrat this election. Wynne is so disliked that she makes Trump look popular.
    28
  2106. I always learn so much when I watch your show. Thank you!!šŸ™
    28
  2107. Hopefully this channel grows in popularity. The only other two youtube channels that I know of that do routine commentary on Canadian politics is Rebel Media and JJ Mccullough. Mccullough leans right and Rebel Media is unhinged rightwing.
    28
  2108. Tobacco kills. Marijuana never did. Over and out.
    28
  2109. I knew you were going to have the best show about this topic. I didn't know it was going to be that creepy though, woah! šŸ‘
    28
  2110. Hi there, a viewer from Scotland here. Just found yer channel with some help. Really enjoying yer output. Thanks!
    27
  2111. AMEN, I'M VOTING FOR BERNIE ANYWAY (IF HE RUNS)
    27
  2112. As a fan of JBP, this is the best explanation of white privilege I've come across tbh - I still don't agree with the way I see the phrase exemplified across social media and left wing journalism, but I can concied that your explanation made it an agreeable idea. I still think that Dyson was embarrassing in the way that he failed to be able to argue political correctness without constantly making the debate about whether on not black people are privileged. I would say Fry and Peterson won the debate, if it wasn't for the fact that the debate didn't happen.
    27
  2113. Thank you for the calm and rational approach to this ! I saw to many people losing their mind over this, and I think the dual endorsement was the best choice he could make considering all things.
    27
  2114. Great video again David! You always make great content my friend. I found you after you did that interview with Progressive Voice and Iā€™ve watched your channel since. You do a fantastic job (for a Canadian j/k šŸ˜šŸ˜) thanks for making great content man, youā€™re one of the most sane progressives on YouTube and I really dig that your focus is policy, which is what we need democratic voters to focus on rather than just running as an anti trump campaign.
    27
  2115. You can phonebank even if you're not on Kansas. Suport outside her district and state (and even the country) is how Ocasio-Cortez won
    27
  2116. This is such a good video. I cannot believe people completely ignore this.
    27
  2117. Great piece David. Thanks and keep up the good work.
    27
  2118. Iceland is awesome!! I would like to save up and visit. I think it would be a great place to take a vacation!!
    27
  2119. Even when Iā€™m not in the mood for politics, I check out your channel because you make genuinely good content that I can tell you put work into!
    27
  2120. I agree with you 100%. Anyone who refuses to support a progressive because of their party affiliation is working AGAINST our goal of changing this country. Once progressives have a larger number elected in the party, they will turn on the corporatists. It is already beginning.
    27
  2121. What people are forgetting is that left wing groups and minorities are already being targeted. Regardless of the new designation to that far right group. Might as well have them targeted along with us than hold some idiotic moral high ground.
    27
  2122. I just discovered your channel and I instantly subscribed to it after this video! Keep up the good work!! Canada is about to face an election and, I would it if you make a video in which you break down the policies of Canada's major parties.
    27
  2123. David as always your articulate and compassionate view of world affairs speaks for so many of us without YouTube channels. Thank you.
    27
  2124. I am really getting sick of Bill Maher and my respect for Russell Brand has grown enormously after watching this video.
    27
  2125. rational i apreciate you being resonable about this topic & ms. reed but i think all those people whom mocked the kusinic, sanders & others, & berated all those people of the LGBT community & now pretend to always have being on their side should be exposed & the people whom did the right thing when it was not popular deserver to be heard more than this hacks like reed & hillary "got her mind right in 2013". thus im happy that all this hacks are being exposed & i hope she is a gonner...but knowing how the msm works, the people that defend the system get bailed out & the ones that dont get burried in smears...that wayback machine is a blessing....
    27
  2126. ā€œThis crap is too predictableā€ šŸ˜† spot on! Jesus save me from your followers!
    27
  2127. Love when you do the home grown stories David! As someone who works in education it is fascinating to see where the narrative is steered by some PC candidates.
    27
  2128. David -- I see a major problem that I've seen here in US elections: Lies are not unmasked. If Doug and Rob Ford did not save Toronto a billion dollars, that that was a huge, fat lie should have been pounded into listeners' heads by Kathleen Wynne and Andrea Horwath, and the narrator. Doug claims he is "for the little guy." He is against minimum wage, he wants to privatize, which leads to broken unions and poverty wages, and he wants to cut taxes of the rich. The other candidates, as well as the news media, are obligated to make him famous for those swindles. If people are allowed to ignore facts, they will vote on emotion. That's how we (US) got reagan's Revolution, and that's why it is still governing this country (USA).
    27
  2129. Lol great point on the Chelsea Manning issue. Wow.
    27
  2130. The U.S. is overrun with religious lunatics and it seems like a lot of them end up in positions of power. Mick Mulvaney wears his ignorance on his forehead.
    27
  2131. I am more for rank choice voting than proportional representation. I'd even accept a run-off election scenario when no candidate gets at least 50% of the vote. Either of these systems would allow people to vote for something rather than vote against something. That is what a lot of people on both sides of the political spectrum did last night.
    27
  2132. So, Bill Maher's argument is that we HAVE to be Right of other countries? That it would be somehow horrible for us to be Left of all other countries? Really? Nice going, Bill (you fucktard!).
    27
  2133. Wait... somebody criticizes you for criticizing Bernie, and in the next breath, criticizes you for not being willing to criticize Bernie?
    27
  2134. Keep the Canadian coverage coming, David!
    27
  2135. Co-pays are the main problem. You pay all this insurance and then you still have to pay out of pocket for services and medicine. MFA would solve this issue out-right.
    27
  2136. I think your explanation of white privilege was spot on! Itā€™s alarming but I know a few white people who are completely opposed to the idea that racial privilege exists and I think thatā€™s because they donā€™t understand what this actually means. Iā€™ll be sure to show them your explanation of it.
    27
  2137. Recently been watching your channel. I like it. Please do union news too like the la Times unionizing. Tyt doesn't do that enough. Sincerely, Boston Industrial Unionist.
    27
  2138. Bernie is way too nice
    27
  2139. As an American, it is nice to see you covering Canadian politics.
    27
  2140. Libertarians and small-government conservatives should be very much concerned about this abuse of government power.
    27
  2141. Great report David ! I like Mike's work too! Independent internet is vital to all of us.
    27
  2142. "Easy entertainment" ... yep, that pretty much describes our mainstream news media. Just look at how much coverage Donald Trump got in 2015-2016 compared to the virtual blackout of Bernie Sanders.
    27
  2143. I agree. The cost of not acting immediately on climate change will be far greater and the result will be irreversible.
    27
  2144. NO. The guy was NOT holding a gun and the cop could see that even though the guy made like he was brandishing one. Still kudos to the cop because the guy said he had a gun in his pocket and went for his pocket several times. When it was clear that the guy was all bluff and was trying to get the cop to shoot him the cop actually holstered his gun and got out a night stick. P.S. - there is a much better video from almost the same perspective that doesn't drop the ball right at the critical time.
    27
  2145. I just discovered your channel recently. Great job on this. You say what I think, but millions hear you, not me.
    27
  2146. Andrew Scheer is nothing more than Harper 2.0 and Harper received awards from the current apartheid Israeli government. Trudeau is certainly not a progressive on all the issues but we must be grateful that after a decade of the Cons we have a government that meets some basic level of humanity.
    27
  2147. Your channel is great. I enjoy watching you. Like how u explain things
    27
  2148. And that's what neolibs seem incapable of understanding about people acting in their own self interest and this being mutually beneficial. Yes we do and yes it is, but sometimes our self interest lies in being part of a functioning and connected society more than in getting a few more $$$$.
    27
  2149. Well done David from England. How did Trump think he would get away with it? He has really upset a lot of people here by tweeting that. He should tweet and say he was wrong.
    27
  2150. To be fair, Jeremy Corbyn does not get the chance to shy away from criticism. He is hammered from all directions, especially the right wing press. Even the BBC would have him as a friend of Charles Manson if there was even a vague possibility of doing so. The only people who don't realise neoliberalism is dead are the politicians whose very existence depends on the public still buying their schtick. They've too much invested in it to give it up now. It is how they get the working and middle classes to vote against their own best interests.
    27
  2151. What unbelievable bull shit. Can it be any wonder that the Democratic party has lost all over the place, that they lost to Donald Trump? Bernie Sanders is one of the MOST self aware politicians around. What in God's name is negative toward Barrack in these remarks? That he's charismatic? That his charisma outshines the poor performance of the party slugs? I would hope #45 himself might weigh in on this slander, tell us whether he regards it as in any way disparaging of himself? Oh, and one further thing. Suppose that Bernie HAD said something negative about Barrack, just for the sake of argument. Why would that reflect negatively on MLK, Jr.?? I have long been convinced and told to anyone who would listen that MLK, Jr. was the greatest American leader of the 20th century, and I underscore that in a personal sense. I mean, he was MY greatest leader, not just generally, but he was MY greatest leader, the one I esteemed above all, the one who led me in coming up years, who made me do stuff, who captured my ideals and my political actions springing from those ideals. Given that Bernie and I share political upbringing in the 50s and 60s, including notably being followers of MLK, Jr., I cannot imagine that Bernie would hold MLK, Jr., in any but the greatest awe. Why then would Bakari Sellars somehow infer that IF BERNIE were saying something critical about Barrack (which he was not), that necessarily reflects negatively on MLK, Jr? Why would it be an insult to MLK, Jr., to say something critical of a contemporary black democratic politician? Is Obama somehow elevated to sainthood because he's the first black man elected President? Do you think we white folks from the civil rights era did nothing to get Barrack elected? Do you think Jessie Jackson's tears were somehow wetter than ours the night Barrack won? I do not. I think we were crying from a shared well of experience, or, of course, not exactly the same, but deeply shared. There is something dreadfully wrong in Sellars interpretation of these events.
    27
  2152. Tax me for my whiteness? That is one hell of a strawman! DAMN! The discussion of what privileges and limitations does race play... suddenly becomes "they want to tax all the white people!" WOW.
    27
  2153. In 1976 while in the 9th grade I could clean buildings at a construction site and make enough at pay for an apartment rent for the month working just four days. Can this be done today? No way in hell!
    27
  2154. Really enjoyed your commentary. And yes the striking similarities between Corbin and Bernie were amazing..
    26
  2155. Good. It appears our supportive voices made a difference. Thanks for your key involvement.
    26
  2156. Ask Clinton how that worked.
    26
  2157. 1:45 even a tool like Chris Hayes had to contain his laughter at this ridiculous claim
    26
  2158. #WhyISubscribe #Respect
    26
  2159. All the progressive shows including yours have horrible NRA propoganda ads in front of them. Rather than skipping the garbage, I am suffering to the end so that you get paid, but I'll bet many aren't. Been this way almost a month now.
    26
  2160. I used to watch Rogan in his pre-Spotify days. He was really good then, and I would get annoyed by all the dishonest smearing against him, because if he had on some wacky people he would hold them to account. But since he went to Spotify heā€™s had a lot more wacky people and seems to give them no pushback. Thus I find myself really unable to defend, or even like him any more
    26
  2161. So, in the US, centrism is halfway between a centre-right party and a far-right party? What a strange country.
    26
  2162. Can't believe that not only did they kick her out for fighting against the genocide being done but they then victim blame her for other people giving threats
    26
  2163. Our heroes of the past are now the undead. I miss these old days..
    26
  2164. Yes, I can't stand the rage regarding identity issues. It's gotten to a point where it seems that we can't talk about sexism without being accused of playing identity politics. It's ridiculous. Not every mention of identity is corrupt.
    26
  2165. God, I love your channel and I love you. Thank you for what you do because "rational", sums it up perfectly āœŠšŸ»āœŠšŸ½āœŠšŸæšŸ‘ŒšŸ¾
    26
  2166. Damn, Dave, you were angry here! I'll need to come to Canada and buy you a drink after all that lol
    26
  2167. Personally, I say, "Humankind," but I couldn't care less if someone says, "Mankind." This is just Trudeau using identity politics run amok to cover for his shitty neoliberalism, corporatism, and support for pipelines. I also take it as a personal insult when right-wingers like Jordan Peterson use this example to associate corporatist, pipeline-loving, outsourcer Trudeau with us actual leftists.
    26
  2168. Americans (an gun nuts around the world) are never going to concede that guns are the issue... Even in this comment section there are people blaming anti depressants, video games, the venue anything to hold on to their precious guns. People have fetishised guns.
    26
  2169. this is great! coming from someone who worked at Tim Hortons that took away all ur benefits (no more paid breaks, shorter breaks, no free food, 10% discount only when working), this is really impressive when a small business can treat their employs better than a huge corporation and the environment at Tims was so horrible the manager and my coworkers were so toxic
    26
  2170. David, keep up the good work. Informing the people is the best way to helping our American Friends
    26
  2171. Preach brother, preach!
    26
  2172. Great show David, Would šŸ’–šŸ’žšŸ’“šŸ’—šŸ’•šŸ’˜šŸ’love to see you interview Bernie Sanders!!!!
    26
  2173. Thank you for the Canadian politics. As an US citizens, I am interested in the politics of other nations, but the coverage is limited on US corporate media and it is hard to find independent coverage. I am fortunate to have come across your channel and have enjoyed your commentary as an outside view on US politics since you don't have the motivation as a US "patriot" to spread propaganda on how great the US is when in reality it is not. As a non-Canadian, I would appreciate more insight on what this race is. Is this similar to a governor in the states? More information on each party and what policies they have been known to push is nice too. Thank you for your work David!
    26
  2174. Animator from Nova Scotia here. We all are still pissed about the film tax credit situation. Yeah, that's all, carry on.
    26
  2175. Ted Cruz is whatever position his donors are. He was anti trump until his biggest donor forced him to support him.
    26
  2176. David, I actually very much agree with most of what you said. You are right, this is in fact a culture war issue. What's amazing is that I probably would have disagreed with you earlier in the year, but the issue with Sarah Huckabee Sanders is what opened my eyes. People on the left are almost always playing defence against the the right while simultaneously defending the right as well. Trump enacts a terrible and fascist policy that separates children from their parents, a member from his administration is politely asked to leave a restuarant after a vote from the working staff; because customers there may have a problem with her being there due to the administration's horrible actions, the right makes it seem like they're always being victimized by the left, and the response from the many on the left is "we shouldn't let this happen because it might set a precedent where people begin kicking others out of restuarants because of differing political views". If the right shared this same principle, I'd agree. The problem is many on the right claim that private businesses SHOULD have the right to do just that. The right uses the left's fears of the possibility of them being censored or in some way having a privilege taken away against them. People on the right would NEVER defend the left the way the left is defending Alex Jones. This gives Alex Jones and others like him more power. Reasons like this is why the playing field is not even. I am concerned that this might set a precedent, but I am more concerned about the precedent that has been set already. If you don't learn from history you are doomed to repeat it. It is possible that this might set a precedent, but history has shown us that it is a GUARANTEE that the right will use their power to shame, silence, and defame their opposition. Alex Jones is not a victim. He brought this on himself. He has caused others to be victims. We can not continue to let the right play the victim and 'free speech' card. They do not care about freedom of speech or expression. If they did they would want the NFL to rehire Colin Kaepernick the way the left wants Alex Jones to be replatformed. The right has control of every branch of government, they most likely will in the future control the Supreme Court. They accuse the left on shutting down speech at college campuses when recent data has proven the right shuts down speech a lot more; and they are now trying to punish teachers who criticize or have disagreements with their side while trying to change academia to benefit their ideology. They accuse the left of of worshiping celebrities but they love Trump, Regan, and others like Kid Rock (who at least at one time wanted to run for office). Many people on the left did not want Oprah to run for President when it was believed she might. They accuse the left of being cult like but they are the ones who never criticize their leaders / representatives. I still remember progressives getting upset with Bernie when he endorsed Hillary Clinton and when he went on that tour with Tom Perez. I should make it clear that not everyone on the right likes Trump or is a bad person. I've ranted enough. Good video.
    26
  2177. It can't be understated that these job cuts come during a time of nearly unprecedented success for the industry. while the rest of the entertainment industry in going to hell in a hand basket gaming is taking off massively among a larger and larger percentage of the population. This is almost entirely because of greed and corporate consolidation, not any financial necessity.
    26
  2178. I gave Paula $100! And I think that was well spent because it has gone towards building a movement. This movement can grow and triumph, but for that, we need to keep giving and fighting. We will overcome! We will triumph!
    26
  2179. Cuomo's trying to paint himself as a progressive because he supported marraige equality way back in 2011. If you have to go back 7 years for an example of how progressive you are, you aren't progressive. We have to twist his arm to get him to even voice luke warm support for any policies that aren't right-wing. I was skeptical about Nixon because she's a celebrity, but the more I learn about her, the more excited I get for her campaign. I especially support her position on public schools. Cuomo's record on public education, meanwhile, is fucking abysmal. He's 100% in the charter lobby's pocket. Can't wait to vote him out and vote a real progressive in!
    26
  2180. If everyone's definition of white privilege was as reasonable as yours, I would have no problem acknowledging that I have it. The problem is when other people use it to gain something from victim status in an exploitative manner. However the way that you explained it, it is undeniable. Thank you David.
    26
  2181. The progressive wave, that revolution on the left Tucker Carlson was alluding to, is Justice Democrat & Our Revolution candidates defeating corporatist, establishment Democrats. Not only do candidates from those organizations refuse all big, corporate and PAC donations, but they're defeating those who are on the take. What Tucker Carlson is saying isn't just untrue, it's completely counter-factual.
    26
  2182. "How do these people have careers?" Yeah, call me if you have the answer, cause I'm fucking dying to find out..
    26
  2183. This is some top notch content, thanks for the deep dive into this!
    26
  2184. shopper's drug mart and rexall aren't too happy, shopper's particularily, they spend a ton of time and money lobbying for the right to sell pot, then the liberals gave it to the LCBO, i think shopper's would do a better job, but i think it should be open for any entity to sell if they meet requirements
    26
  2185. What's to prevent them from leaving? who gives a fuck, pay your fair share of taxes/wages or take a hike.
    26
  2186. The deal should be cancelled, they misrepresented their liabilities.
    26
  2187. "News Actor" You have just earned a subscribe.
    26
  2188. Loved this video. White people especially don't realize how much they benefit from affirmative action.
    26
  2189. They just make a caricature of what the left is then beat up on it. The same is done on the corporate so called left media they bring on the worst of the right to talk. This increases hate for the other tribe until it reaches a tipping point of violence. Why would the media do this? because it changes the target from hating the war the ultra wealthy and brought politicians. It Keeps the gravey train for the donors and corruption going without much opposition.
    26
  2190. Congratulations, David, on a very well produced programme in 2017. I appreciate the thoughtfulness and passion that you bring to all the subjects you deal with.
    26
  2191. i tend to be more ā€œconservativeā€, and viewpoints like this tend to be more liberal/lefty, but iā€™m so tired of this stuff too, itā€™s ridiculous. my dad was denied treatment coverage because his cancer hadnā€™t ā€œprogressedā€ enoughā€¦ they needed him to get sicker to help him? he thankfully had enough in savings to get his chemotherapy treatment, but itā€™s unbelievable. it sucks, and it can be better, i have family who live in England and their healthcare system does have problems, obviously, but it is a huge improvement on the disgusting system we have over here, itā€™s barbaric and inhumane in a developed country to do this to people. sorry for the long comment, i am just so frustrated with everything šŸ˜‚
    26
  2192. This is what gets me frustrated with Mainstream news as well. They want to get a Right Wing perspective, and that is fine, but they almost never go on to make right wing arguments or argue for their ideas, they usually just go on and propagandize.
    26
  2193. 100% agree
    26
  2194. I imagine there's a lot of people who have been really energized by Corbyn lately, he took some time to find his feet I think, but he's really grown into the role as Opposition Leader and he's winning over a lot of people by showing he has passion and principles even if people aren't 100% on board with the specifics.
    26
  2195. Thanks for this small shimmer of hope, since everything else seems gloomy right now.
    26
  2196. Thanks for the Upload, and giving this coverage to this vital issue. Jeremy Corbyn, Unlike many other people is personally determined to solve the problem using existing methods available, whilst Conservatives are happy to let people die, potentially even children can die on the street. until the alternative is proposed... Jeremy and those Socialist policies of his would make life better for the many not the few. JC4PM
    26
  2197. Oh America, your politic is so crazy and weird. Your politicians want to be celebrities and your celebrities want to be politicians. Hahahaha!
    26
  2198. One reason why alot of these establishment candidates lose is that they completely ignore the power of the internet. Both Corbyn and Bernie embraced YouTube and social media. I mean look at Corbyns Twitter compared to Theresa May. 1.1 million followers compared to 250 thousand. Corbyn did alot of interviews with just ordinary people and YouTubers, such as copa90 and JME. Bernie did an interview with TYT ect. The establishment candidates are either stuck in the 70s or simply don't understand how the internet works, such as Hilary Clinton. Hillarys internet campaign relied on vilifying memes and embracing things no one likes, ("PokƩmon go to the polls!").
    25
  2199. We need more level headed progressives like you, in America. Excellent rebuttal, man.
    25
  2200. I support you RNšŸ‘šŸ‘ Keep it up David
    25
  2201. There really is no justice in the system. Shot for not having no rear light on a bicycle, and getting arrested for that. Even after getting shot he's still getting cuffed. What the fuck are we doing?
    25
  2202. Your your expression right after the clip is priceless. What a laughing stock Hannity is. He's a car crash waiting to happen.
    25
  2203. I live in Wichita and going tot his event! Itā€™s so exciting to see Sanders here AND AOC rallying for her first time in our city!
    25
  2204. While I do see this as the only principled, reasonable stance-- I got to point out that this is good strategy too! What a stark contrast to the White House or the Clintons! Being different means getting attention, and progressives still need all the attention that's gettable.
    25
  2205. Happy New Years David, I really appreciate your content, thanks.
    25
  2206. As an Illinois resident, this is embarrassing but not surprising. Durbin (and Tammy Duckworth) voted for the $700B military budget increase while doing little to improve the lives of their constituents. They are BOTH centrist, corporate Democrats and itā€™s time for them to GO!
    25
  2207. Trudeau is so out of touch with regular people. If you're raised surrounded by wealth manners and language are held to a higher-esteem over actions.
    25
  2208. I live in New York and have been looking for a progressive campaign to become directly involved with. Opportunities have been scarce because I live near Buffalo and the JDS are focusing their efforts around NYC. I'm so excited to get involved. And who knew Toronto's subway was bad? I was impressed by Montreals subway in comparison to NYC's. It was generally cleaner and less confusing, and the ticket operators were much friendlier. But maybe I'm in your shoes, and know less than most.
    25
  2209. Question ~ why does Jordan & the Right immediately equate white privilege with the govt taxing him more? Dave described it perfectly. If a black 12 yo boy can be shot & killed in minutes, and a white college girl can go to her commencement with an assault rifle(a REAL one) slung over her shoulder, and she then goes on Faux News & cries & cries... THAT is white privilege.
    25
  2210. What a phenomenal ad.
    25
  2211. This guy is really impressive. He has good ideas, however, what blew my mind was listening to a politician who actually answers questions. He didn't clip his answers. He let everyone know exactly were he stands. Reason enough, in my book, to vote for him. One more reason it's a bummer to be an American right now. :)
    25
  2212. it's so wierd when it happens in your own backyard, it feels personal to me, i don't know anyone who was killed, but maybe just knowing it could happen here makes me feel more vulnerable
    25
  2213. Happy that I moved to Canada, from Alabama.
    25
  2214. It's okay to disagree on the tactics as long as we work together to make the push on all fronts something will happen. We shouldn't fight each other because we lose that way.
    25
  2215. This vid was fantastic. As a former-conservative myself, a lot of people within that ideology are often unwilling to listen & learn how they may be voting against their own interests. Despite how frustrated I get with stubborn ignorance, the lack of empathy, & the team-partisanship mentality, you never win a debate by getting angry or calling people names. Iā€™ve found that it is better to win an argument with calm rationality & logic (and just let them call me names instead) because thatā€™s how you know youā€™ve made them question their own beliefs. šŸ˜œ After all, Step 1 is freeing your mind of everything you think you know. Great start for TRN 2018 David šŸ‘šŸ‘
    25
  2216. There is going to be a slow denouncement of Queen HRC. All those that wanted access to what was assumed to be the future prez like Haberman and NYT donā€™t need to praise her. Also great haircut šŸ‘šŸ¼
    25
  2217. Yes David, & it's not just everything you mentioned, what the media didn't show is that the people who went to all of the healthcare protests which have been happening all over the country every time that one of these GOP healthcare bills comes up, what the media doesn't show is that tons of the protesters are carrying signs that call for Medicare for All, single-payer, or healthcare as a human right. What that tells you is that galvanizing ppl the way that Bernie has done this whole time & again now with his new Medicare for all bill, gets them involved & motivated to fight not just against something but also FOR something!
    25
  2218. "All small businesses brace for impact" Yeah brace yourselves. More people are going to have more to spend on businesses. Never want to hear conservatives talk about defending small businesses when they have done NOTHING to help small businesses.
    25
  2219. I'm so proud of Paula. I'm forever grateful for her being a pioneer
    25
  2220. BOYCOTT
    25
  2221. As a politically active Maryland resident, I can tell you that Maryland has the potential to be one of the most progressive states in the country, but the tradition here, while liberal, is caution and proceed slowly. never-the-less Maryland has: 1) abolished the death penalty 2) passed a state version of the dream act, first by the legislature, and then by voter referendum 3) passed some of the most advanced gun control laws in the country 4) passed marriage equality, first by the legislature, and then by voter referendum There are signs the go-slow tradition is changing, and Ben Jealous' campaign could well be the turning point. A Manning candidacy for the Senate can only build the progressive energy and momentum at this point.
    25
  2222. Yeh let just make the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. This trickle down economics has never ever worked and neither did privatisation of important key gov organisations. Tax the big corps properly and cut tax on small local businesses and increase minimum wage that's how you do things.
    25
  2223. This video is literally the crying laughing emoji face. Completely right about how Fox is a joke
    25
  2224. I am a Socialist, and I hate Trump...with that out of the way...I never gave a shit about who cheated on who in political families. I am more concerned with what effects the populace.
    25
  2225. Excellent choices!! I think Nina is our future in America, with Bernie as the wind beneath her wings.
    25
  2226. The real problem with a limited basic income is that it then becomes open to right wing attacks on the issue of fairness. The reason why universal health care once achieved becomes so popular is that there is no group that feels disadvantaged. The same is true of Social Security. You reach 65 and you get it.
    25
  2227. I look forward to the changes in hockey games when canadians are all high instead of drunk.
    25
  2228. Learning that democrats and progressive are not necessarily the same thing.
    25
  2229. Why people have a problem with actual progressives is a mystery to me! Progressivism = adopting policies that help people in a dynamic society! Society is always dynamic! Why canā€™t people just understand the capitalism in the purest form as it exists in USA doesnā€™t work! You need to adopt a few socialist policies to make sure the people of your country get the best for their contribution to the country.
    25
  2230. Voting Age is 18 years...that is in two years. Any one inHigh School now WILL BE VOTING IN 2020. That is a beautiful thing. A generation raised on Social Media. There is NO LIE the Democrats or Republicans will tell that they will not destroy.
    25
  2231. I cannot believe the people of Ontario are falling for this con artist! We all have heard his BS for years, when he was on Toronto's city council, so there is no excuse! We all know who Doug Ford is and it is pretty much Donald Trump Jr! How about the lie Rob Ford had never drunk alcohol, then we find out he was a crack user who drove drunk, as well as drank on the job at City Hall! In fact, the police used to watch him drink a who bottle of rum in public parks. Doug knew that all along, he just blatantly lied time after time. It was lies the whole time from both Rob and Doug! ALL FORDS LIE, ALL THE TIME!
    25
  2232. I now have even more respect for Cenk from tyt. When his old posts came out, he owned it and apologized immediately. He didn't deflect or cry about being hacked, he admitted he had made mistakes.
    25
  2233. According to the World Health Organisation rankings of healthcare, the UK is 18th and US 37th. Trump is delusional is every way, he needs to stop claiming the US is the greatest place on earth and start fixing the real problems. Honestly, Iā€™m so unaware of what heā€™s actually done other than attempt to degrade every other country and heā€™s been in office for almost 2 years.
    25
  2234. I like how 4chan /pol/ raids to downvote videos are a critical component of the right-wing "free speech" argument.
    25
  2235. This is an amazing video David! I live in one of these areas, I think this needs to be discussed more. We need to get through to these people and vids like this help. Thanks man.
    25
  2236. I think the most idiotic question one journalist asked was that even private sector donā€™t have remote work guarantees so why should private sector? Ummm they have a union and they can negotiate the terms of their contracts, thatā€™s the whole point of unions lol šŸ¤”
    25
  2237. Her and H.A. Goodman are a poisonous influence on the left, both creating videos from their basement dwellings, made after connecting delusional dots between things in order to push their agenda. Investigative journalism my ass, it's call conspiracy theories strung together by barely perceptible logic. If they had a motto it would be: "Here are the unstoppable amount of broken things in this system, and let me offer you NO solutions whatsoever while I shit on anyone actually TRYING!" They're like male and female versions of homeless people you see ranting and raving on the streetside.
    25
  2238. It's really amazing how she can say almost nothing in a monologue of 1 minute 19 seconds. It's just a bunch of catch phrases and buzzwords strung together to make sense, IF you're using your imagination hard enough and already have right wing biases.
    25
  2239. David, you watch Morning Joe, right?. I watch--not because I agree with much of what they say, but because our politicians make up much of the audience. Currently I am noticing that the usual cast of characters on Morning Blow are giving Democrats "advice" that they above all must not be "pushed left like Hillary was" (##@@#?? WTF?) and to quasi/pragmatically agree to banning abortions. That's the ticket, they all say, to winning back the mythical white people of the Rustbelt. Both convenient tactics are interpretations based on their narrow world view and it also serves as propaganda which won't offend their donors. Their advertisers are financial investments firms and drug/alcohol rehab centers. One ad grates on me in particular when--without irony--the potential investor is a millennial who wistfully gives 70 as her desired retirement age. Wow, just wow! Who doesn't dreamily think on remaining a wage slave for 5-10 years longer than one's parents?
    25
  2240. i like your shirt
    25
  2241. Thank you for breaking her silly announcement into small chunks, I would totally have skipped that part otherwise.
    25
  2242. It certainly made a difference, but I have to give credit to the 98% of black women in Alabama. Their votes saved the country from the shame of having that man in office.
    25
  2243. David Doel excellent rational analysis, stay with It, we need you work have a nice day.
    25
  2244. Guy's it's cool, I have an honourary degree, I, therefore, I understand the grad student struggle... Honourary representation matters too lol
    25
  2245. Bottom line, the uber wealthy have all the money, and will do ANYTHING to keep it, no matter who it hurts.
    25
  2246. Nice video.
    25
  2247. sounds like shes admitting it with out really admitting it
    25
  2248. indeed, American politics is based on plutocracy and a 2000 year old book of myths. just today a street preacher screamed at me that I would burn in hell if I didn't accept Jesus. these people, who are fine with the idea of other people burning for eternity for the crime of thinking critically, have a political voice. at least Canada probably doesn't have politicians who talk about the literal devil during congressional hearings
    25
  2249. It didn't take long, but you've become withion my top 3 favourite political youtubers. You, Jimmy and Kyle are all anyone needs as you each have a unique view on things and have different ways of approaching those things. Keep it up. Kyle is the straight-up news guy who gets worked up from time to time, Jimmy is the angry leftie standing up for what's right, and you're the calmer, collected, positive voice on all issues.
    25
  2250. Wow! Be as girly as you want and celebrate the goddess within. That's a woman's true power, Joan. I'm so tired of all these supposed feminists who are stuck in the 90s trying to be men.
    24
  2251. I can't believe the people of Ontario are going to put this con man in office! It's just a joke how much he is like Trump! Seriously, I have lost faith in Ontario's who I thought were more informed and too sophisticated to fall for his BS!
    24
  2252. I'm an Albertan with a generally Green/NDP social democrat ideology. I feel your pain. Some of our crazier conservative provincial-level politicians are quite frighteningly backward in their thinking on climate science, economics, justice and social services in particular, and yet the people just keep falling for their propaganda. Most of their positions on climate science alone are terrifying. People like Doug Ford may be fun to mock in the international press, but they have the ability and the will to do real harm to their fellow Canadians, and to the environment. I wish that the Liberals and the NDP and the Greens would get their stuff together, stop bickering so much amongst themselves, move away from corporate partnerships, and do more to inform the voters about the issues and what actually can be done to address them. That's my wish for my country, and I feel so frustrated when I see candidates like Ford being taken seriously. It feels like such a step back when we so need to go forward.
    24
  2253. David, I wasn't sure where you'd be on this issue. Many progressives I deeply respect (and others not so much, check Michael Tracey's hilariously stupid takes) have had this wrong. It was politically advantageous for you and simpler to take the stance that we should be free speech absolutists. It takes a deeper understanding of the culture wars to have a principled and progressive stance.
    24
  2254. This may be an extreme position, but I don't think parent should be able to just pull kids from Sex-Ed. It defeats the whole point of school to just allow the hiding of information because the parents aren't "comfortable" with it. Fact is, if parents "know best" then they can teach their kids that information in addition, it doesn't mean that they think hiding information is or just being straight up incorrect is somehow right.
    24
  2255. Great segment!
    24
  2256. Iā€™m really excited for Paulette Jordan sheā€™s Native like me but she also has the right policies which is even more important.
    24
  2257. I think GOP arguments against the bill are weak and it serves the cause to get them in the open to be knocked down.
    24
  2258. Too many purists on the progressive side. Cannibalizing your own is what causes conservatives to win.
    24
  2259. Damn David, you really broke it down this time. i had to clap to all of your reasoning. good work!
    24
  2260. Liberal MSM šŸ”« Conservative MSM šŸ”« Rational National āœŠ
    24
  2261. Bravo! Corbyn has been right in the past and he's right now.He never buckles whatever shit they throw at him.The guy is truly inspirational and is going to be PM.
    24
  2262. This was great! Cynthia Nixon had the perfect response to the Trump "problem", and why people voted for him.
    24
  2263. Diane Feinstein is unpopular with the progressive base of the Democratic Party because she is a conservative and thus her opinions don't reflect what the voters want. In any other country in the developed world, Diane Feinstein would be ensconced in the Conservative party of the country.
    24
  2264. I honestly can't get over how rational you are like in this day and age it's it's just mind boggling to see somebody who isn't off the charts one way or the other I love your moderateness
    24
  2265. Thank you for reporting on this. You are the first and ONLY outlet that I've come across that mentioned that Zephyr Teachout was working on Cynthia Nixon's campaign. I was hoping that Teachout would run again, but Nixon may be one of the few New Yorkers has more name recognition than the current governor, save a few New York Yankees. Calling it now: unless an absolute disaster happens, Nixon will win by no less than 10 points. To make sure this happens, word needs to get out: We need Independents to be registered so that they can vote in the primary.
    24
  2266. DD, THANKS! Itā€™s amazing how a Canadian stands up for the small people of the USA. Your channel breaks it down for the average person to really question what the HELL is going on in the States!
    24
  2267. As Cerk said: "GET THE FUCK OUT OF THE WAY" The progressives are coming and we gonna destroy the establishment!
    24
  2268. Can't really blame the man for not burning bridges if this guy wins. BUT laying it out on the table would get more respect that he took a side.
    24
  2269. Propagandists do what propagandists do. We know this is Fox's MO. We need proper accountability for the news media because Kirk, Carlson et al just wouldn't be tolerated in other countries. I would love somebody in an interview to pin Trump to his claims of "fake news". Because he's in a position to do something about reinstating the regulations that previous Republicans took away that's led to this shit show. If he actually thinks it's "fake news", if he actually believes it's terrible and needs changing then somebody could point to him doing something about it. Nail him to his own bullshit. We know why he wont change anything but it'd be nice for somebody to just point it out. Introduce it into the narrative. Have it in people's minds whenever he says "fake news", even those who believe his crap.
    24
  2270. What is worse - doing evil or remaining silent while inhuman atrocities are committed? When will our leaders stand up and tell the truth?
    24
  2271. The interesting thing is they don't care about Americans either at least not all of them. America is very hypocritical in the things said and the things done. If you are watching from other countries PLEASE NOTE: NOT ALL AMERICANS THINK AND BELIEVE WHAT THOSE WHO ARE IN LEADERSHIP DO.
    24
  2272. Outstanding piece. Thanks for taking the time to cover smaller but significant news with nothing but everything to do with politics - like how quickly a lake or climate can disappear
    24
  2273. I really thought this event was going to be corporate Dem bullshit. Itā€™s nice to hear some actual progressive solutions being discussed.
    24
  2274. You should always take what Ben Shapiro says with a grain of salt anyway - look into his past ties with organisations linked to and funded by the Koch brothers
    24
  2275. Group Rights are catastrophic indeed, but only when it comes to corporations and the rich who matter in our government so much so, that out "leaders" are willing to sacrifice the middle class, environmental health/the planet in general, and rig the whole fucking system if it means that the rich, who happen to be their donors, can feel comfortable at the expense of the peasants.
    24
  2276. I am a Republican and I like Nina.....
    24
  2277. Thai whole recent "freedom of speech" thing is based on the assumption that there is a threat to freedom of speech rights. And the people talking about freedom of speech tend to be the last people on the planet you would want defending it. Milo, Harris, Rubin, etc...
    24
  2278. Hillary is an attorney who understands the concept of conflict of interest. She knows the whole "show me where I changed a position because of money" is a bullshit issue, because that's not the way it works. The idea that Wall Street, large corporations and rich donors gave huge amounts of money to Clinton campaigns (both her's and Bill's) and the Clinton Foundation and didn't expect anything in return for all that money is laughable on its face. Hillary knows if she was a judge, she would have to recuse herself from any case involving companies or people who had been major donors to her. The fact that they don't have her on tape saying her vote is for sale is not the standard for a conflict of interest.
    24
  2279. At this point the Democrats have no choice, there is only way and its up. They either adopt populist progressive policies or the party will continue to decline until its dead.
    24
  2280. Amen. Democrats have lost their balls. Fuck Vox AND their product placement in Hillary's book. Maple flavored chips.
    24
  2281. I think I am SOLD on the NDP now. If what he is saying stays true.... I know he has my vote! I voted conservative last time because I felt they were the least offensive. If Jagmeet Singh sticks to and runs on what he just said, it's a done deal for me! Now onto my comments. Your basic income argument.... It's a complex argument... If Welfare and min wage becomes the same..... I am sure for some it would be hard to motivate them to continue to work.... I feel radical changes need to be made within those programs to prevent abuse.... But I do feel it would be great that if you honestly fell on hard times, that the government will properly support you... Also looking at Canada Pension.... They deserve more no doubt.... but the money needs to come from somewhere.... but if you worked min wage jobs your whole life or just a little over... How can you expect to retire and survive when your only going to get 55% of your original wages moving forward. Worse yet now you likely have all kinds of medications that are expensive.... So on that note I do hope something can be done for government coverage of that. Just like our healthcare. and Dentistry should also be considered part of health care! If he is able to generate enough money from his changes to policy, I fully support this happening! Please keep reporting about him! as well about all the other candidates in our next election! Having you spoon feed me all this is allot more easy then me spending hours digging online for information!
    24
  2282. Hah! This video was so cute! And you aren't good at selling yourself bc you are a decent person. But good video, ya did a great job here! Your excitement about a new mike- which Wow does sound different- makes u very relatable. You have a sweet, genuine personality and that comes through more and more as you get more comfortable and passionate. Keep it up!
    24
  2283. CAPITALISM LADIES AND GENTLEMEN
    24
  2284. I have been following your channel for a while now and I think that you deserve way more subscribers. You have this rare ability to discuss calmly about an issue and actually present your opinion without degrading what other people think. I hope you will reach at least 60 000 or even more subscribers this year !
    24
  2285. If you have proportional representation then it doesn't matter how much the vote is split -- seats are distributed in accordance with the vote shares and a large party still can't rule if they don't have a majority (rather than just a plurality) of the vote. Minority governments require cooperation.
    24
  2286. What part of Donald Trump is religious? He religiously loves money and power and fervently lies.
    24
  2287. He sounds more democratic than many so-called democrats we know. Still i want to see details and actions before i could fully trust any candidates. Credit to him realizing the problems of the republican party.
    24
  2288. Dave, I think I was among your first hundred followers, and today I'm still very exited when you have a new video. Your authenticity is what makes them great!!!
    24
  2289. This budget is sickening. It really shows that our President nor our government care about the people. ALL PEOPLE. Cause minorities are NOT the only ones benefiting from these programs. I wish they could actually trade places with us for a month. They WOULD NOT SURVIVE AND WOYLD LOSE THEIR MINDS. You are right, we have to get involved. This stupid parade??? In the area I live 90%of the homeless people here are veterans, so explain to me how a parade is going to help these men and some women and their children??? Such STUPID IDIOTS. UGH!! JESUS HELP
    24
  2290. As a resident of California, this made me happy when I first read about this, but of course they are ignoring progressives like Alison Hartson and David Hildebrand and throwing support behind the next most known corporate-ish democrat in the race... Also, they have denied her endorsements in the past and she has still won the races. I will remain cautiously optimistic, but still wary of the possibilities.
    24
  2291. I compliment Mr Singh for being a politician with backbone. You have more integrity than our own puppet yes men to America and Israel.
    24
  2292. Props on citing sources in the info!
    24
  2293. Woot! Fantastic concrete stuff here, David. When I was reading these excerpts from "the book" yesterday, I KNEW things didn't sound right - but it's great to have the factual confirmation. Bernie is one class act for not engaging.
    24
  2294. Horwath Horwath Horwath!!! But seriously though when are the next two debates? I don't want to miss them.
    24
  2295. Hey David, we need you man, thanks for explaining this. You are right most of the people don't know any of the facts. Canadian digital media is dominated by the extreme right like Revel media and other misinformation channels, they are working hard at dividing us with hate, making us like the US.
    23
  2296. This is shaping up to be a really great channel. Clean audio, sharp presentation and thoughtful analysis.
    23
  2297. Thank God for every Joy and Eichenwald, we have a David.
    23
  2298. Crooked Cory. You're exactly right David. They create different characters to suit their politics as if politcs is a game.
    23
  2299. I am a middle-aged white lady from Alberta, and I am totally in favour of the settlement. I was aware of the details, and saw the Al Jazeera documentary footage of Khadr being mistreated and manipulated in Guantanamo by both US and Canadian officials. I was disgusted, and am also disgusted by my fellow citizens who don't even care to learn the facts of the case. Mr Khadr was a Canadian child, tortured by the US military, and we left him to rot. I am deeply ashamed of that. I don't know if Mr Khadr is a good man or not, but I agree with the Supreme Court of Canada that he deserves justice.
    23
  2300. "And for that, Brain cancer or not, He's an asshole" Thank you for saying this, Some people want to give him a pass for voting yes, Cuz he is going through a difficult time... I'm sorry but when your vote for a bill can potentially kill millions of people and you still decide to go through with it anyway you're not a maverick, But simply put an asshole
    23
  2301. Excellent video. David and Beau of the Fifth Column still are the only 2 creator that I watch every single video all of the way through and it's always worth it.
    23
  2302. Let's be clear...WE started this crap with Iran in 1953 by overthrowing a democratically elected government to get cheaper oil. WE started it...! So NOW we blame them for all the things wrong with US! Hypocracy...the only thing we manufacture any more.
    23
  2303. I wonder how many of these gun advocates have lost a loved one to murder. I was raised around guns and even shot at targets as a teen, but since losing a friend shot to death by her husband in a church parking lot, I get physically ill around guns. I reserve my right to not be exposed to them. This argument for arming teachers which is raging while children are processing real life deaths is horrible. Empathic folks get to win this one. Time for the heartless to pack up and go home.
    23
  2304. Biden is calling on millennials to "get involved"?? Was he f---ing asleep during "Occupy Wall Street"?? ... Of course, when OWS was going on, a lot of Establishment Democrat loyalists were calling the protesters "whiners"... So I guess, damned if you do, damned if you don't.
    23
  2305. This will only get worse as a result of the right getting elected right across country and soon to be elected Federal party. The left needs to really hammer this issue and make it known in the media circles to get the word out.
    23
  2306. People who tell you weed is bad have never smoked a day in theyā€™re life
    23
  2307. No matter what this awkward excuse for a Fox segment was, I think you're 100% on šŸŽÆ about these networks trying to appeal to us "regular folks"... and the harder they try to be slick about it, the more awkward it is. ps: We ALL need a break sometimes from some of the absolute nonsense regurgitated on a daily basis! I hope you find solace in yours! šŸ’“
    23
  2308. I don't understand how someone can hate Bernie Sanders he's so great
    23
  2309. Minimum wage increases also don't go away, unlike tax cuts that will eventually go up and likely for the groups they claim to benefit now and who need it most. Love hearing about news in Canada. So rare, but for obvious reasons--it might give us ideas tut.
    23
  2310. Your faces of incredulity are wonderful in this!
    23
  2311. Bernie Sanders was too much of a gentleman
    23
  2312. More media critique stuff! This goes to the heart of how we got where we are re: politics.
    23
  2313. If this doesn't trigger a 2018 landslide or a change in the president, I'll be shocked. Hopefully the Democratic establishment won't fuck this up but the likelihood of that is.....slim.
    23
  2314. Lol Now brace for the throngs on NFT/Cryptobros coming into the comments to yell at everyone about how they ā€œdonā€™t understandā€ anything! šŸæ
    23
  2315. Congrats on the new show! It's nice to see some progressive voices on air.
    23
  2316. Is it weird that I can watch David Doel and love his style and delivery but also watch Jimmy Dore and love his style and delivery?
    23
  2317. So sad how Trump gets away with so much and the media plays a large role in their lack of coverage. Thanks for bringing attn to these issues.
    23
  2318. Wolf-pac dot com Have been fighting to remove money from politics. They are a large well funded group that have some great people working for them like Alison Hartson and Michael Monetta. I urge everyone that cares about politics to join them in this fight.
    23
  2319. I was really hoping it was a rogue pig. Sigh...
    23
  2320. Joe Biden is a creeper everywhere he goes. Plenty of photo evidence of him with his hands all over women. Not a good candidate at this time when sexual harassment is such a big issue.
    23
  2321. Loving the Canadian focused content.
    23
  2322. "People with addiction disorders." I love that. Kindness and inclusion as solutions to social problems. What a concept. We so need this in the USA.
    23
  2323. your shirt is gorgeous. has anybody gotten mad about it yet?
    23
  2324. Thank you for pointing this out here in Canada we think we are peace keepers but support USA in Bolivia and Venezuela everyone needs to know more and get involved
    23
  2325. Im loving multiple daily posts Dave.
    23
  2326. wow.. a man ive watched for the last decade broke my heart.. bill, get it together. thanks for the video! I was yelling at the tv. keep showing the media for what it is, corporate. and thats why he didn't answer the question, he didn't dignify it with a response. like susan sarandon.
    23
  2327. Fabulous edit, great analysis as ever ~ Thank you again. extremely disturbing as you get into the background of who owns the news.
    23
  2328. If Barbara runs they'll smear her as being racist and sexist lol
    23
  2329. You've made some excellent points, but it is time to fill in where the progressive option will actually provide the missing policies. Professor Richard D. Wolff could be valuable in getting Democrats back to their FDR coalition and in Canada, I see Prof Wolff as the linear successor to Tommy Douglas. https://youtu.be/yomlBtXL4Ks
    23
  2330. Keep up the great work - so clear, concise and nice shirts too!
    23
  2331. Making my 3$ worth it, one video at a time. Thanks, David!!!
    23
  2332. Just when I was starting to think that the "neutral framing" thing was being blown out of proportion. His whole argument was that it's uncouth for anyone in public office to criticize any media outlet because trump unfairly attacks them. Newsflash Brian, fox doesn't defend CNN or MSNBC against trump. They will always take his side.
    23
  2333. Gillibrand is my senator and I think you did a very good job of going through her history. I was aware of the fact that Gillibrand has flip-flopped tremendously on many issues. It's really incredible. She is obviously a chameleon. She'll change her positions on issues depending on the situation that's she's in. I'll probably vote to re-elect her next year as senator of New York since she'll probably maintain her progressive voting record in that position, but you clearly can't trust her to be a progressive as President.
    23
  2334. The fear-mongering about socialized medicine and government programs in the United States is ridiculous. I happen to live in fairly Conservative/Republican area, and I can tell you for a fact that there are people here that regurgitate this Ted Cruz-style dogshit 24/7. Just as an example, in my area, Conservatives complain and/or subtly MOCK RETIREES about receiving tax money as a retirement plan. (Social Security). Some of it is envy. Literally, my Conservative neighbor was snarkily saying ''I paid for your retirement'' and condescendingly mentioning ''you're a civil servant.'' (referring to my retired father and the fact that he was a government employee.) Ooooh, those EEEVILL government employees! scary ghost noise Moving back to the original point; I swear, this anti-government program hysteria can get out of hand in the United States. In my experience, it can get to the point of low-grade teasing at those who are on Social Security/Welfare/Medicare etc.
    23
  2335. Great, a Big Iceland Sell Out! What's next seltzer?
    23
  2336. Gotta go with Corbyn. He defied all expectations to make major gains in the House of Commons in a snap election that was thought to be a Conservative Party rout. This man ended the neoliberal "New Left" reign in the Labour Party. He successfully accomplished what Bernie is attempting to do with the Democratic Party.

  2337. Our condolences to the families of the victims. Always loved visiting Toronto, and have never felt unsafe there. The police in Toronto are well-trained compared to American cops at this point in history, which shows in how well they handle tense situations like this.
    23
  2338. Thank you for pointing this out to me. I didn't really get the chance to look at the official statement from JD. I hope they still hold the course that they were originally set on, as far as policies and donations, but I'll try to keep a better eye on them. Very good show, by the way, this was my first time watching you. Very calm, collected, and informative.
    23
  2339. That caller was painful to listen to. When it comes to free speech, the right are disingenuous. They donā€™t care about your freedom to expression.
    23
  2340. Such an easy, simple answer. Makes you wonder about the Democratic Party and all the money they spend on consultants...why didn't any of them think of this? Oh yeah, I know...they run for their sponsors, not for the people.
    23
  2341. I'm 63 years old and I want some teeth, so you know who I'm cheering for.
    23
  2342. Was this Video Demonitized? There was no commercials....
    23
  2343. The imitation of Benā€™s voice has me dying!!! šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚ Iā€™ve been fully vaccinated since February and I still wear my mask indoors in public.
    23
  2344. So initially she does what you almost NEVER see with people in positions of influence/authority do in America... apologize and take responsibility for their actions. Comendible! And since the newly uncovered articles are essentially more of the same, all she really had to do was reiterate her initial apology. Yet she chooses to employ a Trump-level-of-stupid excuse that an elementary school student could debunk. I can't stand her but certainly she can't be this daft. What am I missing here? Did she suffer a head injury? Or does she reckon she's ascended to the point where she can say whatever she wants and it doesn't matter because her followers will believe her? Has she gone full Trump?
    23
  2345. "No one deserves special rights. ALL people deserve the same rights." This is exactly what BLM says too.
    23
  2346. Hey David you should use something like preventative or first strike instead of preemptive. Preemptive implies that there is a legitimate current threat to the us and the other country is on the verge of attacking us and makes it seem ok for us to attack. We see this repeatedly in the news but unfortunately it's a lie and the us isn't about to be striked by North Korea nor Iran and this feeds into US imperialism. Thanks
    23
  2347. The denim shirt is the best look when breaking down the biased media narratives ;)
    23
  2348. Exactly right @ 7:43, I mistakenly thought Hillary was a stronger general election candidate and supported her because of that. I was wrong.
    23
  2349. Speaking of triggered PC culture, at least 3000 of you came out of your way here to this relatively small channel just because it had a negative opinion of your daddy figure. This seems like a lot of concern about other people's opinions for a group that expresses such supposed confidence in their leader's performance.
    23
  2350. Thank you for covering this video. I am a dental hygienist and a huge fan of your show so this made me excited! Haha Dental professionals and specifically dental hygienists are at THE HIGHEST RISK for coming into contact with viruses and diseases. Also, FYI a dental office is probably the most dangerous place for people to be in right now (other than large crowds) due to the fact that we create aerosols with almost everything we do. It would be interesting if you covered how the ADA lobbied the hell out of congress and the CDC to get offices to open back up despite what I just stated. Itā€™s disgusting. Anyway, this woman is lucky that I wasnā€™t the person talking with her. I am the nicest, calmest bish youā€™ve ever seen and would have made her feel absolutely ridiculous. She spoke with her lawyer? Hahahaha! okay, butterfly pants šŸ™„
    23
  2351. Thanks for making this video.
    23
  2352. I could listen to Richard Painter bash Trump all day. Heā€™s always right on target. Hopefully heā€™s changed his ways, Iā€™m always willing to embrace anyone who decides to do the right thing.
    23
  2353. I started reading Manufacturing Consent last week and it's really helping me make sense of these bizarre "fact-checks" coming out of our papers of record. When I thought of them as journalistic entities striving to be truthful and accurate I was confused as to how they could keep making these mistakes and contradictions. Chomsky and Herman's framing of them as a propaganda model whose output is filtered through corporate and government reliance and pressure was shocking and clarifying for me. Now I get my news from The Intercept and The American Prospect and am much less frustrated.
    23
  2354. We neef to run this video on a loop when the DNC tries to prop this loser up in 2020. I am a boomer, I lived thru that too. Yes things were difficult then, but there are equally bad things millenials are dealing with now. One of the worst is losers like Biden selling us out to his big donors to enrich his own family at our expense. Putting his big donors wallets before the voters. He needs to get the hell out of Bernies way, and let millineals and Progressives fix the mess he, the corporate Dems and Repubs have made of the country.
    23
  2355. I agree, he undermined his own great questioning.
    22
  2356. As a progressive liberal canadian, just wanted to say "Thank You" for telling people the truth about Trudeau. He was NEVER a real progressive.
    22
  2357. I love Nina Turner... promoting policies and solutions for the Average Citizen. She is a strong sensible voice and a breath of fresh air.
    22
  2358. I was polled by email from the DNC. I added at the end of the questionnaire that I would now only donate to progressive candidates directly. Simply don't wish to waste money for a party that doesn't truly represent the working class.
    22
  2359. I can't stand Ben Shitiro. Never found a guy who pretends so much to be smart. He's dementing the minds of average people, en mass, I think he's worse than Alex Jones, who only further dements the very stupid.
    22
  2360. I love this channel. Thanks for the time you put into it. I Appreciate it.
    22
  2361. So he's basically Canada's version of a Donald Trump.
    22
  2362. David, you are spot on! I really like how honest you are.
    22
  2363. lol They also have that weird monotone voice as well that's creepy as shit.
    22
  2364. Bernie Sanders isn't a revolutionary anarcho-communist, so it is kinda silly to expect him to live a dirt poor lifestyle.
    22
  2365. A lot of white people will feel triggered by this video. I'm white, but we need to be taken out of our safe spaces and for once read a history book.
    22
  2366. I just clicked cuz of Mulvaneyā€™s forehead
    22
  2367. I'm really proud of these young people. They are the future of this world and my generation (I'm 47) was just way too passive about issues. The youth of today are not. I am an American abroad and I will vote for Bernie if he runs in 2020. I'm done with establishment yokels.
    22
  2368. As far as conservatives using Hollywood, don't forget the most famous NRA president was Charlton "Cold Dead Hands" Heston. He was NRA president from 1998 to 2003, retiring when he was officially diagnosed with Alzheimer's.
    22
  2369. I told you elsewhere on a thread that even the BBC do not give Jeremy Corbyn, or the Labour Party in general, a fair shake. Now the controversy is deciding which Jews are acceptable to meet as the "mainstream" Jewish organisations like the British Board Of Deputies and the Chief Rabbi (Orthodox) are apparently bent out of shape about the meeting. Recent Newsnight programmes (BBC2) have had old pictures of him in front of the Kremlin in the background while discussing the nerve gas issues. Another blatant subliminal smear with sinister implications. It is depressing and frustrating but the BBC bends over backwards to keep the right happy , who ironically always accuse it of being a nest of lefties. There is no winning this one.
    22
  2370. Ohhh, looks like Peterson fan boys stormed your channel judging by the thumbs down. Is it me, or does it seem like these sycophants don't have a father figure in their life and latch on to someone like Peterson?
    22
  2371. Warren is an academic.I love that about her because it means she's into researching the bullshit that most of politics is. It's why she calls out Wall St when they talk shit. She's better educated on the topics than they are most of the time. However academics learn to "master" one area and collaborate with other experts to produce a paper/work. Elizabeth Warrens problem is when needs to collaborate with someone whether its on staffing choice or precise military budgets which isn't her expertise she gets caught out because all the people she reaches out to are corporate Dems who are all pro-war Hillary supporters. I like academics in politics as they're generally better at researching the details of policy compared to half the idiots who seem to vote based on the name of the bill and nothing else.
    22
  2372. I love Nina because she is consistent!
    22
  2373. Good analysis of the poll itself, below the top line the Bernie numbers are far better, his number with Young, Independent, and non voters. All the groups who have to be energized, and where the parties upside potential is.
    22
  2374. Love seeing David get worked up about outrageous issues like how there is always money for death but nothing for life. Usually he's pretty chill but I think he has every right to get pissed about that one. This channel gets better every time I watch and if it wasn't for the fact that Youtube throttles shows like this he would be way more popular. Support him through Patreon if you can since there is an option for only three dollars a month, which I jumped on.
    22
  2375. That was great information!!Thank you šŸ˜Š āœŒšŸ¼
    22
  2376. I think Bari missed the implications of her words. How is Hamas supposed to know that Israel will kill unarmed people for just protesting? Bari if you read this then you should be able to come to the logical conclusion, you just actually said Israel is horrible. So Bari and Bill the Moron, 60 plus innocent people were slain by snipers and 2000+ injured by them. I guess those people shouldn't have run in front of those bullets huh? You can't see a problem? You don't see a problem with Israeli and American policies? The US is currently killing thousands of innocent's and terrorizing how many countries with it's drone program? The US supports over 70% of the worst regimes on Earth with little care. Right now, we are supporting a genocide in Yemen. Go freedom and human rights! While Jared is standing at the embassy spewing bullshit about freedom and human rights being so important to US and Israeli values, those values were on full display while killing innocent UNARMED Palestinians. The only conclusion I can come to is you people are either stupid, lacking in empathy, or are just plants and mouthpieces.
    22
  2377. Oh no - that guy IF in the US, cops would DEF shoot first before even considering to talk to the shooter.
    22
  2378. Well. I guess it good to know that the USA is not the only country that has crooks for politicians.
    22
  2379. My Dad is a Black homeless non-US citizen Trump loving Christian. Yeah, wrap your mind around that cognitive dissonance because I refuse to. I just hope I don't get a call that a fellow racist Trumper attacked or killed him for being in "their country". Rest of my family are "any Blue will do" types so they'd vote for Kissinger if he ran as Dem but I can at least persaude them :/
    22
  2380. for Canadian News, I follow you.. I have almost zero respect for the CBC, CTV, Global and the Print News Network.... Thank you for your great work... Cheers from the GTA :D
    22
  2381. If what Mark is saying is true (which is arguable) then why did Trump call on Acosta in the first place? He could easily chosen to ignore him altogether. Seems more likely that Trump got the base-pleasing confrontation he was looking for, not the other way around as was claimed here.
    22
  2382. ........and one more thing, because Mr. Browning will be keeping his old windows, he will be paying more to heat his house as well come wintertime ....... bloody Conservatives....
    22
  2383. does he not realize this is the strategy that LOST the election???
    22
  2384. So I'm not the only one who feels this way towards Dave. Also I notice the Far Right can be just as PC.
    22
  2385. I'm a West Virginian and that dude is really f'n weird. There's no way he's going to be elected for anything.
    22
  2386. I wonder how many Super delegates Kamala Harris already has. One has to ask, "Is she already inevitable?" I mean, to anyone other than big business and monied interests that dictate public policy.
    22
  2387. Couldn't hide the pure joy on your face any better than that, David? Yeah, neither could I when I first heard. ;) After all the damage he's done to us, Paul Ryan can't show his face in public anymore and would likely lose in the next election--those are more believable than going home to play with the kiddos as his main reasons for stepping down.
    22
  2388. I think the world of Sam and his TMR show. I take his show as humor, but with a serious message. Screw MSNBC, oligarch MSM.
    22
  2389. Here's another illustration of Hillary's lie that Bernie copied her policy proposals, only making them bigger: May 19, 2015, Bernie introduces bill to make public colleges and universities tuition free http://college.usatoday.com/2015/05/19/bernie-sanders-issues-bill-to-make-4-year-colleges-tuition-free/ August 10, 2015, almost 3 months later, Hillary proposes debt-free tuition at public colleges www.wsj.com/articles/hillary-clinton-proposes-debt-free-tuition-at-public-colleges-1439179200 The Wall Street Journal headline notes that Hillary's proposal "provides ammunition against surging Bernie Sanders" Hillary was always trailing Bernie's policy proposals, but proposing something less. It's the exact opposite of what she claims in the book.
    22
  2390. As a proud Jeremy Corbyn voter and supporter, I totally agree with you. Could watch Jeremy talk for hours on the subject. A genuine man that actually fights for us from the working & middle classes. Theresa May and the Tories are going to stretch this government out for the maximum 5yrs before Labour and Corbyn have to sort their shit out again!
    22
  2391. Also I should say that I think this election could have gone differently if Horwath and Wynne had gone after Doug Ford much harder than they did. They did to some extent, but it wasn't nearly as harsh as it should have been. What I was desperately hoping for from them was for them to take Doug's most-repeated slogans (like tax cuts, hydro rates, "for the people", etc.) and rip them apart savagely and without mercy. They should have been hammering that message non-stop, that tax cuts means tax cuts for the rich and service cuts for you the regular people, and so on, and then repeat it ad nauseam, and in such a way that exposes what a blatant fraud Doug Ford is. They could show him as a rich elitist, a career politician, a corrupt crony of developers and other big businesses who wants to sell off Ontario piece by piece while enriching himself, and so on. I really didn't hear enough of that from Horwath and Wynne, and you need to do that against someone like Doug Ford who has portrayed himself as a populist. You can't hold back against a guy like him.
    22
  2392. keep making great content david, we need all the rational voices against these Republican lites as we can get. Im still waiting for Scarborough to yell "get off my damn lawn you progressive kids", it'll happen sooner or later as they view all progressives as 18 year old college freshman
    22
  2393. What the hell is he spinning. Ratifying the constitution took a 'group' to do so. The Bill of Rights was validated by a group who voted. He is an idiot. "To support the general welfare" ..right their in the preamble. "In Order to form a more perfect Union"- thats a group. Its not 'group rights' that he is against, its 'diff groups than his'.
    22
  2394. An excellent perspective.
    22
  2395. Lets not forget that both Philip Seymour Hoffman and Heath Ledger's family also have been trying to bring awareness about the opioid epidemic... Big Pharma needs to be held accountable for all the grief they caused to many families!!
    22
  2396. I think white privilege is not about individuals it's about the institutions, but some people like Peterson personalize it.
    22
  2397. this is why I hate all politicians.. everything us about their political agenda and not the american people.
    22
  2398. Same is happening here in Australia. The liberal opposition "conservatives" want to close the safe injection sites which have saved thousands of people. The conservative solution to drugs is totall war without actually finding a solution to save lives and help people on a safety and health level. "This is happening in Victoria so this is a state issue rather than a federal issue"
    22
  2399. Harvard acting like a little bitch. nice work David
    22
  2400. Thanks David. You make a very well structured and researched argument.
    22
  2401. Finally. The long and up hill battle begins. Make an international project group and international program. Make international and national laws that work together.
    22
  2402. The United States has more mass shootings than any developed country combined. More than Russia and China and the closest country in gun ownership to the US is yemen and even they are not close to the 400million guns owned in the US. It's absolutely insane that the solution for that would be adding more guns.
    22
  2403. Dr Jordan B Peterson :The right has not occupied the social sciences and the humanities& the left clearly has. The statistical evidence is overwhelming.. Dr. Michael Eric Dyson: Sir, what about IQ testing in terms of genetic inheritance? Dr Jordan B Peterson : ....
    22
  2404. Now if we can only convince Sessions..
    22
  2405. Yet RT is not 100% free. I watch RT Arabic and itā€™s a mouth piece for the Russian government. I was born and raised in Iraq and I can tell what Propaganda sounds like. We know that Russia is not Sweden or the us or Germany. Russian ppl need help to build a new society away from fear and dictators. RT is not 100% pure. But I am not saying that our guys working for putin but I donā€™t think they understand how dictators brains work unless you live in a dictatorship and you being educated at the same time to understand why things happening that way.
    22
  2406. Thankyou David for reporting this. This situation is disgraceful, the deck is truly stacked, and if media does not bring this to the public arena, it will continue.
    22
  2407. Totally agreed. Thanks for putting those clips together, I honestly had no idea how much Morning Joe had seemed to 'get it' regarding Bernie in the past... It just makes their reactions to him even more mindbogglingly confusing. Sometimes it seems like they're actually 'seeing' what's going on with 'the Revolution', but others, it's like they're being stubborn & parroting the Corporate Democratic talking points (where they try to 'dismiss' Bernie by not acknowledging what he has & is continuing to accomplish). Maybe it depends on who is 'sponsoring' their show on any given day? xD
    22
  2408. And fourth, the proposed pipeline doesn't actually follow the same path as the current one. It takes "shortcuts" that the cut through literally every major watershed of the lower mainland that the current one was deliberately constructed to go around. Given the history of spills all along the current line (not just at the so-called contained pumping stations), this is an utter disaster waiting to happen.
    22
  2409. This movie is from marvel not some independent black owned company.the fact that he has a platform and followers is scary
    21
  2410. Have I ever told you your channel is awesome? Well, just in case I forgot... your channel is awesome!
    21
  2411. Man you are so good at this, You remind of Humanist Report and Secular Talk. Also if Theresa May wins I give up hope on humanity. If England lets her hold power they lose all right to laugh at Americans for electing Trump.
    21
  2412. Not only is David a real progressive, but he's not insane when it comes to feminism either? I rate damn man keep the content coming.
    21
  2413. I just subscribed and am quite impressed with the content. Keep exposing these corporate democrats!
    21
  2414. I appreciate how honest this channel is. Glad there is some level of introspections when you criticize the Green Party to when you knock down faux right wing ideologues. We are too selective of what teams we want to be on and we need to be able to say when something is deeply wrong.
    21
  2415. LOL, yeah. "Neck-and-neck", with Labour nearly doubling the number of councillors at the end of the counting, compared to the Tories. "Bad night for labour", with them winning the highest number of councillor seats compared to all parties. The Blairites need to be purged from the party.
    21
  2416. Jordan Peterson talks for 30 minutes and says absolutely nothing
    21
  2417. Thanks for showing this. While the corporate media focuses on Russia and Stormy Daniels outlets like you are showing what's really happening in America.
    21
  2418. The Hill-bots have no idea that Bernie has espoused these same ideas since the late 80s when he became a Congressman. Hill-bots have no idea that when their heroine backed a similar health-care idea in the 90s, the person literally standing behind her when she announced it was the biggest supporter for this in the House of Representatives...Bernie Sanders. They know next to nothing about policy, in most cases, their only answer to any question last year was to bring up the eventual candidate's gender.
    21
  2419. Goddamn. I would LOOOOOOVE to see a Turner-Pence VP Debate.
    21
  2420. It's even worse: The wounded cannot get treatment; as a result, limbs are being AMPUTATED. That's men, women and children. Some IDF snipers wear T-shirts depicting a pregnant woman with the legend, "One Shot, Two Kills." Israeli settlers are picnicking as they watch and applaud Palestinian civilians being murdered. Meanwhile the world's governments and corporate media are complicit in their, on the one hand, silence and on the other, complete distortion of what is clearly wholesale murder bordering on genocide. Dear Bebe: When people - many of them Jews - say that you are behaving like a Nazi, THIS is what they mean. Are we ALL Anti-Semites, simply because we hold you to the same standard we do the rest of the world?
    21
  2421. I'm not 100% sold on Gillibrand yet BUT she's exponentially better than Harris & Booker! Not only she's giving correct messages but also she's bringing some really fascinating progressive bills forward... something Booker & Harris aren't doing! It's not like she's gonna win the democratic nomination; so we'll find out how she votes under a Bernie or Warren presidency & judge her later! I also don't like progressives who still are calling her a conservative etc & attacking her ... she clearly is not! & if we're gonna keep attacking people even when they start actually DOING things we want them.. then it serves nobody any good! I am still a bit skeptical but i am extremely happy to see her not only SAYING she's gonna do progressive things... but that she's actually is DOING it! Can't attack her for that!
    21
  2422. Bill maher is so full of shit hes criticised hilary too during the primary why is he avoiding what happened durring the primary
    21
  2423. Wanted to hit the LIKE button over and over. Rep. Lee was clear and direct, David was clear and expanding analysis - Ā  Ā Mulvaney is immoral and cruel not to mention being a hypocrite - An ash cross indeed!
    21
  2424. Notice Graham and Count Cassidy smiling when being schooled by Bernie?
    21
  2425. David, thank you for using your voice and platform to speak out on this tragedy. The universe, karma, will not forget your humanity.
    21
  2426. There's something blatantly missing from the argument made in this video about having or not having money. All of the published articles about this stupid issue call Sanders a socialist. In so doing, all of them are indirectly perpetuating the same falsehood that socialism in the 21st century necessarily equates with Communism as it was during the Cold War. None of them make the distinction that Democratic socialism that Bernie promotes exists in countries where there is highly successful free enterprise and that Sanders has never suggested that he is against free enterprise or even wealth but rather he vehemently argues that those who are wealthy must contribute fairly to society, as he has done his entire life, beyond the call of duty. What all of this boils down to in a sly manner is the same old archaic anti-communist fear-mongering smear tactic associated with the McCarthy era.
    21
  2427. I think we should constantly be challenging the use of coercive institutions (such as prisons). We should strive to reduce them and (ideally) get rid of them entirely. All drugs should be legalised and regulated, no one should be imprisoned for possession/consumption of drugs. PERIOD.
    21
  2428. Dave, I have Facebook friends who at first glance seem normal, rational and reasonable but would fight to the death to prevent gun laws. Itā€™s not just congress, itā€™s our depraved, irrational inherently American gun culture that must be changed too.
    21
  2429. Great story; great lesson in civics.
    21
  2430. Why is it such a bad thing to admit you have advantages in society? As a straight person I have some advantages but as a woman there are areas where I do not. It's ok to admit this and be aware. Most white people would never want to be put in the position black people are faced when a cop pulls them over. Facts bruh.
    21
  2431. Kanye West has broke the stupid meter. This is what happens when you become obscenely rich . You think you can say whatever stupid thing you want without having to be worried about being judged.
    21
  2432. Just as David talked about being socially self-restrained in his earlier life, my relative, due to similar condition, struggled mentally/emotionally and ended up killing someone in pure paranoia driven spree. This is always a tragedy with no positive outcome, and so many people's lives will never be the same. Most people with mental conditions live and function as contributory members of society, but a tragedy - such as this one - reminds us of the complexity, cruelty, and frailty of a human being, especially during times of "robotizing" the mind.
    21
  2433. Awesome analysis, as usual!
    21
  2434. It's all fun and games for these fools and praised Brenie when it seemed like a long shot. Now the sudden when Bernie is the most popular politician in the country, he has to be taken down.
    21
  2435. Every American citizen should watch this video
    21
  2436. I suffer from Endometriosis, a chronic pain condition, and I'm recovering from surgery. I use THC and CBD to reduce my opioid and alcohol consumption. I don't know how accurate all of this study is, but these results don't surprise me.
    21
  2437. Can any of the critics of just stop oil point to any protest that wasnt met with the same level of disdain or contempt? Also, can you tell me which type of protest you believe will have everyone stand up in applause and take up the cause with them?
    21
  2438. Congratulations to the people of Brazil for electing a psychopathic authoritarian as your president. Have fun with your new dictatorship because you are too stupid to learn the history of the last dictatorship.
    21
  2439. Informative, interesting and inspirational. Thank you for another great video. You help me to have hope!
    21
  2440. Really good video. We have universal health care in Australia, it has its problems but everyone is covered. A strong bipartisan approach is the only way the USA will get Universal coverage. But while Fox News is still spouting its propaganda its not going to happen.
    21
  2441. Iā€™m from Arizona, and it absolutely breaks my heart how little our teachers are getting paid. Several schools had to cut short on the school week because of little school funding. We rank 45th in the nation when it comes to quality education.... itā€™s a mess. Our students and hard working teachers deserve so much more.
    21
  2442. Thanks David, I was not a Jagmeet fan I liked Nikki Ashton and I wouldn't have watched this interview. I liked his answers and your commentary and I will have to watch the full interview when I have more time.
    21
  2443. I agree with most of what you said but the reality is gerrymandering, lack of common sense of most voters and the electoral college is the reason we're in this effed up situation we're in I personally feel we've been in a constitutional crisis since 11/8/16 On a side note please don't take this wrong but Ur handsome young man I'm not into you like that I'm old enough to be Ur mother I just have a habit of giving compliments!
    21
  2444. Ha! Awesome video! Probably the best video I have seen that illustrates MSM, including MSNBC who pretends to be left. We love you Dave! I'll promote this video to all the progressive channels I donate to because I want this video seen by as many people as possible
    21
  2445. She brings up Domestic issues more often then others. She has a basic common sense approach. -- I don't get the feeling she is wrapped in race only and gender only. Identity politics isn't her thing, when she really could make it her thing and use it to her advantage....she chooses not to do that; ....... she seems ......genuine.
    21
  2446. Isn't ESPN owned by Disney? Diversity when is convenient and status quo when diversity would matter
    21
  2447. Hillary Clinton sees voters as bumbling idiots that need to be convinced that shes the best candidate for their own good. Bernie Sanders sees voters as intelligent people who generally know whats wrong with our government. He lets his actions speak for him, she tries to spend billions to cover up her own record. Clinton thinks voters are sheep, but her and her cadre are the real sheep if they can't see past their own Washington bubble to understand what the American populace is struggling through. Fuck her, never voting for that turd no matter how many times she runs and how horrid her opponents are.
    21
  2448. LoL love the beginning, "Here's Laura Ingram talking about... whatever" --- perfectly sums up every segment she's ever done. Also, Kulinski had an interview with someone recrntly where the interviewer made an interesting point. The idea that what is considered "elite" is a completely different thing depending on whether you're talking to a leftist progressive (where "elites" are the establishment in power) ooor a joe bloe Republican (where "elites" mean celebrities and "the leftist media"). I thought this was an interesting thought.
    21
  2449. I am happy to say that I will be voting for her. Cuomo should not get a third term, it is time for a change.
    21
  2450. Saul Barraza I wouldn't trust RT when it comes to Russian news due to the I clear bias. Most Russian media is very pro Putin and lacks diversity of ideas. I do like how RT is able to have a diverse range of ideas including Progressive ideas when it comes to covering the US and other areas.
    21
  2451. Dylan is awesome, hope he wins, his voice would be a welcome change!
    21
  2452. Not only will the average person save money because they are not paying monthly insurance premiums, the actual cost of their included care will be $0. (Insurance here in USA rarely covers 100% of medical procedures, and there is usually a deductible to meet anyway. In many HSA-based plans, a very high deductible into the thousands of dollars).
    21
  2453. America needs the humility to admit that it needs to learn from other countries and stop thinking that it is the almighty big brother who tells the world what to do in EVERY FUCKING THING. The USA is dying by a thousand cuts.
    21
  2454. Someone went to the Anthony Weiner school of damage control...
    21
  2455. Notification squad where u at??? We lit
    21
  2456. This Peterson guy cannot distinguish among political correctness and being bad mannered, rude, vitriolic, mean, disrespectful, arrogant and self-righteous. He is all the latter and then whines that he's a victim of "political correctness" and claims to be an advocate for free speech. Pathetic. He spins all the free speech hysteria to his advantage so he can be "freely" rude mean and disrispectful. He's such a farce. That selfhelp book of his is a compilation of third rated borrowed philosophy and pseudo-science rants completely placed out of context. But I guess his average worshipper can't even notice that
    21
  2457. None of these seem like particular instances of bullying. Maybe they're a little odd or off-putting, but not bullying.
    21
  2458. "Liberal" is not the same as left. The "liberals" are all about keeping the status quo with some fake "social justice" sprinkled in. One example would be: M.L.K. was supported and received funding from these "liberals" until he started criticizing the U.S.'s foreign policy and the system of capitalism. They were outraged that he would do such a thing and all of these "liberals" threw him under the bus. It is the same story with whistle-blowers like Chelsea Manning and people who threaten the war machine. Bernie also talks about this: https://youtu.be/a2BtaHi16jY
    21
  2459. David - I too am Canadian. I think you didn't stress enough the fact that we can choose our own Dr.s. And that once you visit your Dr., you don't see the bill. The Dr.'s office has a billing charge chart and that's what they use to bill the government directly. You can also pay more for example if you want a private room in a hospital or go to a private hospital for that matter. But given the standard of care our hospitals provide, that is where even our Prime Ministers go when they are sick. Hey didn't Rand Paul (?) come to Canada recently for some procedure? Anyways - Keep up the great work!
    21
  2460. Allow for subjectivity, opinion, empathy. You are good. I look forward to watching you grow. The next Glenn Greenwald?
    21
  2461. Great picks, the ones who have stood by the common ppl and for the common ppl
    21
  2462. It's funny, I like the Ruben Report. Not because he's an intellectual hero or something, but more because he's talking to interesting people. He talks to a lot of dipshits though. No doubt about that.
    21
  2463. Dylan was awesome on MSNBC...back when they were truly representing the left. I am just sick at what MSNBC has done to Chris Hayes...sooo disappointing
    21
  2464. I'll say it until I'm blue in the face we can not get anything done until we force money out of politics. Every study shows bills are not decided based on the will of the citizens. They're passed and in many cases written by lobbyists on the behest of corporate or the wealthy donors interests
    21
  2465. This was a good video. Watched this after The Young Turks' (Cenk's) take, and while we should "know when you won", I also appreciate Dave's "take it with a grain of salt" perspective. This is why I LOVE independent media.
    21
  2466. krasner is making serious changes, it's amazing what a DA can do to transform a city
    21
  2467. Tweet 1: "This diversity is part of us and should be celebrated." Tweet 6: "More diversity will not be our strength, it will destroy what has made us such a great country". Talk about being a leader on how to make up your mind... This guy should be running in the Confusion Party of Who Knows.
    21
  2468. I watched Cory Booker give this speech earlier in the day and I found it very moving. As you said, the passion is very welcome. The highpoint was when he challenged the secretary to spend 73% of her time and effort on fighting white supremacists. I hope that comment hit home and continues to resonate. Thanks for covering this.
    21
  2469. Jordan Peterson fan-boys can't handle logical arguments, everything with them boils down to blaming SJWs! They call the left snowflakes but as soon as a black guy called them white, they melt like the SJW's they claim to be against. They don't care about the political correctness, they only care about the politics and the racial issues. They are fundamentally anti-equality because they think it somehow means less for them
    21
  2470. I actually heard progressives on the radio criticizing Bernie for not voting for this amendment. I don't know how they didn't see it was a trick.
    20
  2471. Liberal party is right wing, or center at best
    20
  2472. That tweet doesn't even make sense. Anyone with cone sense and knows even a little about Bernie sanders knows that's BS
    20
  2473. I'm gonna take a strong pass to consider her an ally to my community. One can change, and I respect that, but the only reason she made that apology was to save face, it wasn't sincere at all.
    20
  2474. So, you guys can now walk around with an ounce on you in public... LOL, hmm think it's time to migrate from America to Canada:^) The pardon issue though, that is disturbing and sad. The 4 plants is kind of low too, I hope you guys fight to increase that later.
    20
  2475. Damn, this is legit my favorite progressive channel.
    20
  2476. David, the MMT reference is wrong here. Ontario is not an issuer of fiat currency. Unlike the federal govt they need to tax or borrow in order to spend money. However, I agree that Ford's plan not only hurts low income workers, it also robs the govt of revenue. A stupid ideology based plan rather than a thought out plan. What else would one expect from him?
    20
  2477. Yeah no kidding that's not going to meet demand. There's basically an illegal dispensary on every street corner in Hamilton, Ontario, with more opening up in basically every empty store front that exists, and they're all consistently busy. I have never gone and there not been a lineup. This is going to fail harder than anything. It sucks, but legalizing weed is going to force me to go back to buying it from dealers.
    20
  2478. I'm Jewish and love Isreal, but their Right-Wing government needs to go.
    20
  2479. This demonstration by both the Israeli and U.S. Governments further proves that conservatism is a dangerous mental disorder.
    20
  2480. This channel and secular talk are my favorite channels kyle is crazy and wild, but objective, and your balanced and objective I love it!
    20
  2481. I just listen to his rant and I still donā€™t get his point. Heā€™s upset over a marvel movie about Black Panther because black people are excited for it. Iā€™m not black but Iā€™m excited for it too. No one is treating Black Panther like itā€™s like Obama becoming president
    20
  2482. He's not too bright, perhaps. Doesn't realise that people can see what his motives are.
    20
  2483. I find this input helpful. helps me see whats really up. thanks dude:)
    20
  2484. Rubin is absolute garbage and it pains me that someone like Sam Harris continually props him up (he even supports him on Patreon). It has made me legitimately question Harris ability to see through bullshit when Rubin's failings and hypocrisy are so goddamn obvious
    20
  2485. I canā€™t speak for Texas, but Iā€™ll be at the polls this Tuesday to vote for Connor Lamb (D)in PA-18 special election for Tim Murphyā€™s seat. I hope we flip it. There are more registered Dā€™s than Rā€™s. They always say that itā€™s been republican for years but thatā€™s cause the Democrats hasnā€™t challenged him in years. He had no opponent in 2016.
    20
  2486. When someone applies for a job , they must have the talents and abilities to perform the work . But conservatives who couldn't understand the Morality involved with society , can be elected to office without the job qualifications necessary to perform the task at hand . But if you want to work at McDonald's , you still must have certain qualifications for the job . This is the definition of insanity on a public scale .
    20
  2487. Thanks David!! Loved the Video!
    20
  2488. How bout kids instead of looking to someone else to solve their problems..... I'm speechless. Saint Rick, you mean, somebody like adults, like lawmakers, like the Government, those somebody elses? He need SBR - Soul-Brain resuscitation.
    20
  2489. Let's face it, Shapiro probably doesn't care about the movie at all, or 99% of what he talks about.Ā  He's just an opportunistic Victim For Hire appealing to a bunch of entitled internet crybabies.Ā  And laughing all the way to the bank.
    20
  2490. Brand is 110% right. Neoliberalism is what gave us this rotten administration, as well as these violent movements on the left and the right. The longer we tolerate politically correct "liberals" with right wing policies like Obama and Clinton, the worse the political climate will become, the more the right wing will grow stronger, and the further we move from actual leadership. We can't afford another "compromise". The left needs to show some GUTS, or one of these elections we may just get "literally Hitler". How about a Trump with competence and a vision? I don't think any of us want that, but that is what we will get if we don't demand leadership. If the left doesn't care to lead, the extreme right WILL fill that vacuum sooner or later.
    20
  2491. her tweet about david is not the reason she deserves a boycott. all the other shit she pulls is why. so the reasoning behind it seems flawed to me but if the end result is her taking a break or losing her show then it works out for me tbh.
    20
  2492. .....How did moving the embassy benefit Americans? Flint can't drink an embassy, the homeless including veterans can't live in it, we don't get any of Israel's healthcare with this move, hell corporations don't even get a kickback from this so WHO IS THIS FOR? The massacre of Palestinians on top of it makes me furious as its all needless violence over needless actions.
    20
  2493. You're smokin hot David
    20
  2494. ā€œOn the wrong side of historyā€ is probably my favorite predicate of this era. Joy Reid & MSNBC are really on my shit list. Rather than using their platform for something greater than themselves, they waste our time with insignificant salacious matters and attack the one member of congress who has consistently been on the right side of history for over 50 years. Donā€™t mind the Machiavellian swamp spending half of its time selling legislation & deregulation for campaign funding. Nope, Bernie is the real enemy because heā€™s a man with a conscience and is beloved by conservatives & liberals alike. God forbid if anyone ever unites the divided states of America. Seriously though, everything about this video resonates with me as a gay man. We couldnā€™t have come this far towards achieving equality without our straight allies, so thank you! I love that your viewership keeps growing. Keep doing what you do David. šŸ˜ŠšŸ‘
    20
  2495. Taking profit out of a service does not remove the quality. In fact, the demand for profit growth forces industries to cut quality to increase the margin while forcing consumers to pay more for less. This is kindergartens stuff. Basic life sustaining services should not be for profit, period. Why is that so hard for many Americans to understand?
    20
  2496. ā€œI get tired, I must say, of people defending a system which is dysfunctional, which is cruel.ā€ That quote is incredible. I wish Bernie would use attacks like this more, because it digs into the moral bankruptcy of his opponents ( and also conservatives as an added bonus) and thatā€™s very compelling, but also very important.
    20
  2497. DAVID I LOVE YA BUDDY! Excellent find! My dad watches ESPN with Steven A and Max Kellerman all the time, so even though i'm not into sports i see them talking about stuff a lot. And i could always tell that guy was a progressive who had to moderate his tone for his parent company, cause you really have to be in order to be a smart person who works in the NFL, racism, double standards and unethical behavior is everywhere in that organization.
    20
  2498. people forget that more people voted for other partys in total than pcs
    20
  2499. Great video; it pairs well with my own on the topic. One thing: Svend Robinson has clarified his remarks and has said that the information (like the article) has not presented to him in the proper context
    20
  2500. As a WOC, what bothers me is that it has been our community that has kept the democratic party alive. Largely white male politicians have counted on women of color to keep this party afloat while they do the bidding of corporations. Seeing this new wave of progressives like AOC, Taleb and Ilhan is inspiring and they are fighting for economic AND social justice. What kills me is when I see progressives say it's one or the other. We can promote both.
    20
  2501. I sent you $20 from PayPal , thank you for the informative videos.
    20
  2502. Lewandowski is a fascist monster.
    20
  2503. Great video, but you should have covered those two people in the front! LOL That dude rolled his eyes and the girl with him was just like -_- and leaned over to whisper to him. I imagine they were like "Are you fucking kidding me with this attempt at pandering!"
    20
  2504. Ugh! I canā€™t stand Joy Reid and Hillary Clinton. Theyā€™re not helping the country move forward. Go away!
    20
  2505. The worst part is so-called progressives making fun of her because she showed heart over babies being jailed. This whole situation is terrible.
    20
  2506. dont forget Crystal Ball, Josh Foxx and, of course, the legendary Dylan Rattigan.
    20
  2507. Thanks again. Im loving your videos!!
    20
  2508. I love that you're progressive, and David you are soooooo HANDSOME!!! You're beautiful on the inside and outside. I enjoy watching your videos for many different reasons. I wonder do you realize you're the most attractive man on YouTube.
    20
  2509. Hey Dave. If I stare at your eyes but with my peripheral vision look at your microphone, the microphone turns into a small glass of Guiness.
    20
  2510. He seemed to imply that Millennials are retreating into 'wealth and privilege', which is silly were neither retreating NOR do we have any wealth. I think he is remember the Boomers of his own which DID have huge numbers of conservatives who did exactly that, the picture were given of the whole of the Boomer generation being liberal hippies is far from true, remember Nixon actually WON the youth vote. Millenials are vastly more unified in their liberalism then generation since the Greatest.
    20
  2511. If only more people took a step back to look at the big picture from an objective perspective rather than misdirecting blame at the disenfranchised , when they too are negatively affected by the same underlying problems. I think thatā€™s why Iā€™ve become such a fan of this channel. David has a good heart, something sorely lacking in our society & among world leaders today.
    20
  2512. WHAT?! the man pays his taxes (he let us see them, unlike you-know-who), he's fighting for higher taxes, what else would you want?! I don't care how much money someone makes, if they fight for progressive ideas, I'd embrace them. It's really very simple. Is Bernie's toilet paper the next target? if he was found at Costco, he'd be targeted as a cheapskate? What is the point of wasting ink on such stuff?!?! gross. And it's not even a "fashion" thing (even if he did buy it), it's a freaking warm jacket, needed for crappy weather, that'll last for a long time. Lies Lies. Newsweek - you ain't our friend.
    20
  2513. We need more people like Corbyn in this world! If Corbyn and Sanders were running in the same country, whichever that may be, I would try and immigrate! I know that Larry Sanders is getting old, but Jeremy and Larry would be great together! Just my humble opinion. another great video!
    20
  2514. I was about to be like "Dammit is David gonna blame this on Shapiro" and I feel ashamed that I don't know you better than that
    20
  2515. Just became a patron. I hope you can keep up your thorough analysis of current events.
    20
  2516. Seriously, you can't call yourself a civilised country if you don't have free healthcare. People before profits...
    20
  2517. Thank you for clarifying what the real impact Medicare will have on the Insurance industry. More Progressive channels would do well to follow that example and stop feeding right wing and corporate fearmongering on how it will destroy their current medical coverage.
    20
  2518. Ontario better go all the way NDP and skip the Liberals as we did in Alberta. Look at us now. Unfortunately Nutley is eating Conservative cereal for breakfast being scared of oil money swaying the elections. Instead she should squish the Corporate Media and make them tell the truth or else. She should have a media team working on the problem full time.
    20
  2519. I really like your show. You present the issues very well. I cannot believe that the establishment have so little on Bernie Sanders that they have to point to his jacket as being the thing that nullifies his outstanding career as an advocate for the people of this country....its sad....
    20
  2520. Zepher Teachout is not a name you tend to forget! I proudly donated to her campaign.
    20
  2521. Nonononono, you don't get it, David. When Ben Shapiro talks about "expertise in a given issue" what he means with that is "having the same view as I have". No matter how much you studied, no matter how much you're an expert; conservatives will dismiss it. Harvard degree or not.
    20
  2522. Thanks for reporting on this.
    20
  2523. What a fragile Little Snowflake this Peterson guy is, lol, jeez
    20
  2524. The Bee Movie recently came on Netflix, and me and my family decided to watch it for the meme. I largely enjoyed, but as the movie went on I noticed something sinister. The Bee Movie is fascist propaganda. My family thought I was insane but it's true. Let's look at the story here. Barry B. Benson, faced with the soul-sucking repetitiveness of proletarian life working for Honex, decides to try to free himself and goes outside of the hive. After doing outside stuff, he figures out that bees are being exploited by humans, because humans are expropriating their honey/surplus value. Barry, having achieved class consciousness, starts a lawsuit/proletarian revolution. Barry, with the help of the bee proletariat, wins. Post-scarcity is reached, and fully automated luxury bee communism is achieved. It should be paradise. However, this is not where the movie ends. Because of some bullshit mismanagement, bees just stop doing anything, including pollination. The world's vegetation begins to die, and Barry has to deal with the guilt of closing his class-traitor girlfriend's flower shop and spelling the end of life on earth as we know it. To solve the issue, the bees work with the humans to solve the crisis, and afterwards, bees continue to make honey and allow humans to use it. In other words, they solve their problems by ending fully automated luxury bee communism and promoting FUCKING CLASS COLLABORATION. How dare Jerry Seinfeld imply that fully automated luxury bee communism would doom us? How dare he try to tell us that fascist class collaboration is the answer? Who knew that by watching and sharing increasingly accelerating apian cinematic memes we were helping the enemy? I don't beelieve it.
    19
  2525. I Love this guy!! ; )
    19
  2526. Hey man I find you lately on almost every important issue being spot on. Get going brother I subscribed and I look forward to your content. You came out of nowhere and you are doing good man great coverage of legitimate things.
    19
  2527. You read the comments under your videos. That's a big start if you want to know what real people think.
    19
  2528. Holy shit, your impression of Shapiro was spot on!
    19
  2529. Hillary's $275 billion infrastructure plan was not only 10 months later than Bernie's proposal, but it was in reality a giveaway to Wall Street, a "public-private" infrastructure plan that would have Wall Street borrowing the money from the treasury at nearly nothing, private companies doing the projects, and taxpayers paying tolls and fees in perpetuity. Hillary's plan was just like Trump's plan. Bernie's plan was direct federal investment, and the associated good paying jobs to do the work.
    19
  2530. i know emma vigland has her ear (her parents support and fundraise for se. gillibrandt) i think emma has givven her advice and she did a few things and it worked. i think she has got positive feedback and rand kept going with it. i don't think emma is her top advisor or anything, but i think she took her advice and used it to her benefit. it's not that crazy when you think about it
    19
  2531. Di-as-pora
    19
  2532. 6:39 stellar takedown of Rahm Emanuel
    19
  2533. You are so RIGHT ON! Just because you're related, does make you entitled! We must get rid of all these Establishment Dem's, for they literally have DESTROYED the Democratic Party!
    19
  2534. These people act like they stayed the same people after years in office and selling out. I think they really believe it. They really don't understand how sold out they are. Just like the rascists, they don't see it
    19
  2535. And who among us is surprised? Those who voted for this nit-wit? What's that old expression, "Ford me once, shame on you. Ford me twice, shame on me." Is this "proposal" even within the jurisdiction of an Ontario Premier? Wouldn't this have to be decided by the City of Toronto? What a circus! Good luck Ontario.
    19
  2536. Dude you have my sense of humor.
    19
  2537. ā€œIā€™m for the little guy,ā€ and an ā€œun-a-ford-ableā€ fundraiser... I see Doug Ford is a dealer in severe irony. šŸ¤£
    19
  2538. Hey Rick! Most students are taught CPR in school, so how about you talk about the real issues.
    19
  2539. So I've been in Canada for over 10yrs and my dad has been denied a visa to visit 4 times because "he has family in Canada". They seem to think he wants to stay but 1. He's 74yo and has been travelling the world since he retired 2. He is a well paid retired doctor back home here he would be broke 3. He has properties and pretty much a lot of ties back home. They still won't let him in. He has visited my sister in Ney York multiple times. And yes we meet in other countries. It is the process, I'm not the only one with same story. And I'm not a public figure or journalist.
    19
  2540. Thankyou David. It was refreshing to see a moral response. Unfortunately, 1 person is not enough to stop this. This is madness!
    19
  2541. I'm an Australian and watch you regularly. Love your integrity. You are fair and consistent in your commentary. Your inciteful comment, has helped make me far more aware of the actual facts and underlying motivations. You deserve more recognition. Thankyou
    19
  2542. dont vote for this fool OMG Harris all,over again
    19
  2543. Wow, Dave, great moves! Keep it up! Proud of you.
    19
  2544. Wow thanks for making another great video showing the reality behind the claims of these politicians. I really hope Doug Ford does not win.
    19
  2545. TCt83067695 Great observation. I was a big fan of Samantha B until she basically dismissed all Progressives as loons and asked "what do you motherfuckers want?"
    19
  2546. The NY Governor controls the MTA which oversees the NYC subway and bus system. And it is dying. Bus ridership has been declining due to too many cars clogging the roads (Uber and Lyft aren't helping) and making them too slow to bother using. There are no more OEM spare parts for the outdated subway signal system and have to be manufactured in house at great cost which makes it problematic to repair them quickly when they fail. Track and signal, and station renewal is happening at such a slow pace that there will always be a good part of the system that needs to be in a major overhaul. Delays in the subway is a constant occurrence. Constant slow track work means subway lines are diverted to other routes that can add 30+ minutes to your commute. New Yorkers are sick and tired of it. I know I am.
    19
  2547. Great video David, this is such an important issue and unfortunately the mainstream media thinks pornstars are more important to talk about than real issues that are affecting us here in America. As always, I appreciate your opinion and your content. āœŒļøāœŒļø
    19
  2548. Be sure to check out Doug Ford's antics when you get back. He seems to think he was elected as king :P
    19
  2549. At the end of the day, this all boils down to the pure and utter AUDACITY that an AMERICAN would dare to run for the office of the President of these United States. What?! Someone actually participating in our democracy that we all have exhorted people to do so since...FOREVER?? It's a primary, not a coronation...there is supposed to be a difference, but obviously we were all wrong about that one, weren't we?
    19
  2550. The Conservatives always had that power. There's never been any need to invoke it before because cops have no qualms about going after Indigenous or left-wing protests.
    19
  2551. I'm loving these videos on Doug Ford and your crazy Ontario politics. It's great to know that we Americans aren't the only ones with front-row seats to a freakshow. šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚
    19
  2552. The Gracie Pictures sound being kept in really hit my nostalgic brain
    19
  2553. mike from humanist report has the best kitchen, david comes second and jordan from TYT politics is last for sure. mike has a beautiful kitchen, no offence david lol
    19
  2554. The CBC has some great people working for it, don't throw the baby out with the bathwater on that. But, yeah, I read this article and your analysis is correct. The writer has a huge capitalist / investment bias when discussing Brazil.

  2555. I am just shocked at what the U.S. has come to. This is absolutely absurd. You could tell he was lying throughout the entire thing!!! Like oh my god and where gonna have this guy as a Judge for a VERY long time! I mean Iā€™ll be in my 60s before he dies!!! And this guys is gonna be interpreting law!!!

  2556. As a New Yorker, let me try to explain the Subway. For about the last decade it has been in horrible decline. Sandy exacerbated a lot of issues, but ultimately the subway was built to last about 100 years over 100 years ago. Delays and shutdowns have become a consistent problem, especially for working people during rush hours. There are plans in place to shutdown one of the largest lines for two years because it is in such bad disarray. Meanwhile, prices have skyrocketed. Yes, by most other city standards our subways are expansive, but to those of us who live here, there is a huge decline from the efficiencies a mere decade ago. In the centers of tourism and wealth, the subways still run fine, but for the tens of millions of commuters it has become the worst part of our day.

  2558. Mindfulness meditations helped me balance my inner struggles and deal with them in a healthy constructive fashion. Itā€™s a practice, a habit, but one greatly worth it. Great video and breakdown on this unique topic!

  2559. I agree with The Rational National. I am a Canadian also, and have been looking on for many monthsĀ with confusion, horror and fascination at the whole Trump saga as it plays out in the US media. The Democratic leadership seems to be willfully blind to progressive ideals. It's difficult to believe that they are not doing it for the money. In any case, why would a conservative vote for a 'conservative liberal' when there is an actual conservative already available? Someone like a Bernie Sanders would surely get votes from allĀ types, while 'republican-lite' Democrats only seem toĀ appeal toĀ a limited group of voters. People want issues to be resolved, not endless campaigns with endless promises. They want healthcare, living wages, and affordable education and housing. They want relief from the endless stress of fearing for the future. They don't care about the Democrats' vague message of solidarity against Trump and the Republicans. They want their government to get to work and stop putting all of their resources into election finance and war. That's my gut reaction to folks like Morning Joe.

  2561. I absolutely love this guy. There is no really NDP history in my province aside from the Orange wage of Jack Layton. I'll do my best to to have them elected in the province. We need to stop moving to the right slowing catching up with the USA. Trudeau is a bought puppet and we need to kick him out.
    19
  2562. I wish Canada had a Jeremy Corbyn. One day...
    19
  2563. White male fragility is a thing. Jordan Peterson played the victim here.
    19
  2564. Oooooh, Jeremy Cooooorbiiiiin ā™” he is the voice of rationality within the insane British governments. And I LOVE Bernie forever ā™” Nina is powerful and will need to decide if the Dems will be her best political vehicle, because so far they have ignored or smeared her. We need Nina!
    19
  2565. I'm glad nobody was around when I heard you say " get back in the locker" because my laugh sounded like a shout šŸ˜­.
    19
  2566. Its a minor miracle AOC is even on the list
    19
  2567. I just want to thank you David because as an American I donā€™t get any information about our neighbors to the north of us. Because of you I am learning so much about Canada and itā€™s politics, I think I have a general understanding of how a parliamentary government works now because of you. So thank you for your hard work bringing information that the mainstream media would never dare to touch.
    19
  2568. Rational National, you missed the best point about Carlson's inane comments about Sanders. Carlson claims that Sanders has crafted some good legislation, but that it won't pass because the Democrats are bought and paid for by corporations. But don't the Republicans control both houses? If the legislation is so good, and Republicans are the real heroes who fight for the people of America, then the legislation should pass easily.
    19
  2569. Another reason to make a universal basic income truly universal is that it limits the ability for it to be attacked by those who don't receive it
    19
  2570. "Liberal media"... is there even such thing anymore/ has ever been? Mainstream media robotically follow the agenda of their donors and bosses, however insignificant, or simply twist the truth. or simply avoid coverage of what really matters to the most of us.
    19
  2571. Go David! Thatā€™s what you call RIGHTEOUS indignation! Preach on my brother!
    19
  2572. I really thought people voted for Hillary out of fear of(for?) the alternative. It's incredible to me that anyone actually thought she was a good candidate. I was listening to Woman's Wednesday on XM. They LOVE Hillary. They say she lost because of sexism. They talked about Gellibrand, Warren, Harris running in 2020 like it's a fait accompli never once mentioned Bernie. Not sexist at all. Also, never once talked about Kshama Savant and her battles against the Dems in Seattle. Why not? Because she didn't run on who she was but on what she is about and Hillary ain't about shit(in the vernacular you suspend the double negative rule)
    19
  2573. Great video, David! Just like you I DON'T GET IT. Bernie REALLY cares. You can go back and watch clips of him talking about the same things in the 90's. He has had the same message for decades now- take care of the people rather than the millionaires. I agree that Bernie comes across as an honest guy who wants to do the right thing, and just like you I don't get how some people just don't see it. But beyond that, those HC supporters act like this is not a democracy. In democracy, we have premieres, and he was one of the candidate. The idea that she should have automatically won the elections suggests that we live in monarchy. This is NOT a monarchy and therefore they could not anointed her to be the leader of this country. Looks like some of HC supporters have some growing up to do.... Oh and BTW- blocking you on Twitter sounds like the mature thing to do.....Lol
    19
  2574. I had to pinch myself. People are really starting to pay attention, are truly disgusted with politics as they are and have been for so long, and are saying "we're not taking it anymore"!
    19
  2575. David is so cool he lets his guests speak without interrupting and asks relevant questions I really enjoy his style.
    19
  2576. As a graphic designer I wanna make a pitch to be his main designer as he dresses like the kind of guy that throws money at anything and I'd like to be that anything. But then my conscience and reality kicks in making me think he probably uses some 3rd world bloke off Fiverr.
    19
  2577. Thanks you for keeping us informed.
    19
  2578. The next slap in the face to progressives will be corporate neocon Dems like Manchin, McCaskill, Heitkamp and Feinstein providing the votes to make war monger Mike Pompeo the next Secretary of State, after he becomes the first nominee to be rejected by the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and McConnell brings the vote to the full Senate.
    19
  2579. Disappointed in the GTA where about 50% of people canā€™t afford rent. This will bite us in the ass greatly.

  2580. If she is willing to come clean, which it seems like she is doing. Iā€™m all for it and give her 100% support. Good on Donna! Iā€™m proud of her. This is a step in the right direction and gives me faith the party.
    19
  2581. AS a Progressive, Trudeau is an empty suit.Just like Obama.
    19
  2582. Perfectly said. This is the stance those on the left need to take in order to start winning.
    19
  2583. David just to add with your example of wallmart they not only use the government to top up the workers ultra low wage to profit the company owners they then find loopholes to not pay taxes to the government that has to fork out all the extra money to their workers. This leaves it to burden the middle class slowly turning them into the working poor while the rich continue getting more and more tax breaks. The effect is a ever increasing divide between rich and poor.
    19
  2584. @whyamimrpink78 This is why no one takes your argument seriously... > Taxes to pay for endless wars? No problem. > Taxes to pay for corporate bailouts? No problem. > Taxes to pay for tax cuts for the rich? No problem. > Taxes to pay for 1.3 trillion dollar Republican budgets? No problem. > Taxes to pay for a clean and habitable planet for ourselves and our children? OMG WHO IS GOING TO PAY FOR THAT AAAAAGGGHHHH!!!!!!! And thatā€™s why your argument will always be laughed at by anyone capable of critical thinking.

  2585. NHS staff were marching to keep the NHS, not privatize it. The NHS is 70yrs young. The first and best healthcare system in the world..Trump can keep his ''Death Spiral'' healthcare.

  2587. Thank you David for not selling out!!... this is why I support your channel through membership and through super chats.
    19
  2588. I love the closing line "Get the f*ck outta here." That needs to be your new sign off.

  2590. Itā€™s become a nightly ritual for me to stream progressive news from my tv while Iā€™m doing homework, cooking, or whatever, and you are the only one who always gets me to stop what Iā€™m doing and listen. Donā€™t let anyone tell you otherwise, your voice is a gift. Never stop using it! šŸ˜‰

  2591. holy ending rant. that was godly.
    19
  2592. Excellent! A breath of hope for the people.
    19
  2593. I watched Dore's interview, this Boogaloo guy used the platform as a recruitment tool and Jimmy was to ignorant to see this
    19
  2594. 10k subs! grats brother. you got there pretty fast since you've been posting regular videos. good job canadian kyle!

  2595. Joe not talking really did deserve a shout out!
    18
  2596. Wow more exposure! hopefully you will be doing this full time soon.
    18
  2597. Leave the green belt alone!
    18
  2598. One of the problems with capitalism is how distorting to the human mind wealth is. The richer you get, and the more powerful you get, the less empathy you have. It is incumbent upon society to rein these kinds of people in, tax the shit out of them, and redistribute their wealth.
    18
  2599. I just discovered you and your rational takes
    18
  2600. Once again David you show how you are one of the best political commentators on the Internet. No bullpucky, straight to the point, easy to understand. If a conservative like Amash can read the Mueller report and clearly see that it calls for impeachment, how is it possible that Pelosi can't see it.
    18
  2601. If only there was a way to get David to preach to Evangelicals.
    18
  2602. Why does espn systematically want to get political but censor political statements and other random bull shit (see robert lee) at the same time lol. you can't have it both ways.
    18
  2603. Nice breakdown Dave. Good job.
    18
  2604. love your channel man, you and the notorious Kyle K. are killing the progressive YT game!
    18
  2605. News is coming today that Renata Ford (Rob Ford's widow) is suing Doug for money lost because Doug ran his business into the ground while still giving himself generous compensation and bonuses. So not only is he a liar, but he's also a terrible businessman.... just like Trump.
    18
  2606. I love this podcast. You both are so fun and funny! My brother is an actor and played Ted (the guy who had an affair with Skyler) in Breaking Bad. Congrats on your marriage, and thank you David for saving my sanity...I found you during The Pandemic šŸ˜… Do more of these i love spending time with you! I am 62 and feel like a proud mom. Happy New Year!
    18
  2607. Dude I am SOOOOOO happy i found your channel!
    18
  2608. 400 000 people joined the Labour Party when Jeremy Corbyn was elected leader ! Cā€™mon you whack job !
    18
  2609. No car manufactures have the disgusting work safety record of Tesla. Musk is a monster.
    18
  2610. great piece
    18
  2611. You frequently put out videos that I don't see others covering, admittedly its a narrow scope since I rarely trust anyone other than you, Jimmy Dore and Kyle Kulinski. Still though, kudos to you for the consistently comprehensive coverage.
    18
  2612. A lot of people are going to try and cash in on the progressive movement. It is going to take a couple of election cycles to weed out the impostors, but at the very least, people are starting to see which way the wind is blowing.
    18
  2613. YO! Just earlier i was thinking if there ever was an election won by 1 vote. It's like you or google read my mind dude lol
    18
  2614. Corbyn destroys the repugnant and reactionary right and the backstabbing neoliberal Labour left.
    18
  2615. Ken Shaw except they dont. they always try to be reasonable. like we all motherfuckin should.
    18
  2616. No judgement, I watch it too. Mostly because they get all the key figures to come on and be interviewed and occasionally Joe and Mika will ask tough questions. I'd rather watch the interview first hand than read someone else's interpretation or see it somewhere else edited and out of context. Also for moments like this morning, when Joe reveals stuff about the inner workings of the network.
    18
  2617. Coming from a guy like Biden. Who doesn't have to worry about SS & Medicare disappearing. Because he will be collecting what all congress people & Vice Presidents do. You notice Congress ISN'T cutting that? They also got to Opt out of Obama care and we had to pay for that. They would also have been able to Opt Out of Trump care, which WE would also be paying for. My Generation has ruined just about everything, our fathers & mothers generations made right. And the generation that will suffer the most, because of all that was ruined? Millennial's. I hope that unlike my generations "hippies"? These Millennial's wont also "sell out" to the highest bidder. Meaning going to work for scumbag corporations, or Wall St, or in the healthcare organization ( also known as Healthcare Insurance companies, or Pharmaceutical companies. ) The way my generation also did.
    18
  2618. One of Bernie's best debates ever.
    18
  2619. David: l signed up @ 18 with the Canadian Forces to 'learn a trade', and within 3 short weeks discovered that the only trade the army teaches is obedience & how to kill. Got tf outta there in 4 weeks and went to a proper Trade School, while on UIC benefits. (Unemployment Insurance Compensation) If that hadn't existed l'd probably still be on welfare... 40+ years later.
    18
  2620. Thank you for spreading the truth.
    18
  2621. How is the whole province not just laughing these candidates out of the room?
    18
  2622. David, not only do I love your show but your style is amazing! Always have the best shirts.
    18
  2623. Iā€™m a huge Ben Dixon fan. I respect his opinion more because he doesnā€™t mind pissing off his viewers when he has an alternate perspective. A new North Star is a great idea and a necessary one.
    18
  2624. Awesome news! more women, more social democrats!
    18
  2625. Can't imagine any Canadian commentator or politician possibly arguing against a policy by saying "Sir John A. Wouldn't have done it"
    18
  2626. If these people don't do this they lose their jobs. You saw how many stations there were. Most news casters in the US are non union, because of bullshit rules that have been set up.
    18
  2627. I can tell that you kinda want to either laugh or scream because Joy is being that person. It's okay David we all want to scream/laugh.
    18
  2628. Thank you @TheNationalRational for spelling it out in lay-mans terms so the neoliberals and republicans, moderate democrats, and independants....can then understand why it is that the Democratic left or Socialist left is largely supressed or drowned out by the many who stand to gain from never allowing you to "have it so good" and see an increase in your standards of living... Ironic and immoral considering their standards of living (Senators, Politicians, Congressmen) have been inflated or topped up by bribes, lobbyists, and the Public...only one of those are continually rejected.
    18
  2629. Trump being president has really stressed Jen Kirkman to the point of insanity. Thankfully, Bernie continues to make sense.
    18
  2630. Such a good video. I didn't realize any other nation had experienced anything similar to what we're going through here in the US. I guess its not surprising Canada and the US are very similar in governing. It won't surprise me if our fight for medicare is nearly exactly like the Canadian one. With it being implemented in one state and basically proving itself as sound policy and being used as a model for the country. I thought that would happen in California but a corporatist shill decided "Nope! Let's not even talk about it!"
    18
  2631. I have listened to and read a lot of Jordan Peterson's work and it would be hard to refute that he is a brilliant clinical psychologist. But when it comes to economic, sociological and political issues he should expand on his current body of knowledge to reshape his current views that are biased towards putting the onus and blame on individual responsibility rather than our current socioeconomic systems.
    18
  2632. You're awesome, man. Keep doing what you're doing. I'm from Toronto and was always more than relieved to be able to enjoy universal healthcare. Two-faced, avaricious sellouts like Crowder, Shapiro and Rubin don't care about anyone or anything but their own pockets and egos. I despise them.
    18
  2633. So happy to hear someone in a FPTP country argue for proportional representation. I live in Norway, but I'm a dual US/Norwegian citizen and have lived in both countries. FPTP is barely democracy, and the UK and Australia are also hurt by its continued existence. Under proportional representation, all districts/ridings/precincts/what-have-yous are multi-member districts, so representation is accorded based on the proportional vote. This means that "splitting the vote" on any side is just not a thing that happens.
    18
  2634. Hear, hear for independent media! Thank you Rational National. We should support your work financially as well. Please give reminders.
    18
  2635. As a citizen of Ontario it will be my pleasure to not vote for any of these jackasses. The problem here is the same as with all Conservatives; If their opinions are not made the priority then the entire group they feel they represent "wasn't listened too". The fact is Conservatism is dying and this group of clowns is doing everything possible, including walking all over their own conservative values, to remain relevant to their own fears!
    18
  2636. As bad as Trudeau has been, the conservatives would have NEVER brought this forth. Also, the reconciliation would not even be on schedule. Even if both are half assed, at least it's here. SPOT ON DAVE! Legalizing should eliminate the "law enforcement" aspect. People have been smoking dope for centuries. "Needing time" is a lie to pander to those who still believe in reefer madness. Abolish all LE involved in drug "enforcement" and put them towards sex crimes, which have been thrown on the back burner for generations. A dope dealer doesn't even come close to the dangers of fraud in our government. WE pay police and politicians. Time for both to represent us! The rhetoric should be, we are legalizing because prohibition has not worked, is not needed, was put in place by racists and still disproportionately effects minorities and poor people. Period. The "black market" created "medicinal" cannabis. They are heroes...not criminals. Criminals are criminals. Also, cannabis is cannabis, there is no "medicinal" cannabis...it's just cannabis. Sliced bananas are bananas. Someday, idiots that are against this, and those "for" it "for the children", will no longer be. But yes, step in the right direction.
    18
  2637. MOORE LOST THE RACE!!!!! PEDOPHILIA AND RACISM DIDNT WIN! THERES STILL HOPE!! ā£ļø
    18
  2638. All Fords people do is complain, I've never thought life in Ontario was that bad. Ford has no plan for anything but it doesn't seem to matter to his supporters.
    18
  2639. How can Jordan Peterson be for the individual but have such hatred towards transgender individuals. They are going totally against social norms, the collective, group mentality, etc.
    18
  2640. 1- cut military spending by 85% annually 2- start a gun recycle program with incentive. 3- mandatory 2,000 word report issued to police for every circumstance involving the use of their firearm. Even aiming their firearm would be subject. 4- mandatory 5,000 word report issued to citizens for every circumstance involving the use of their firearm. Even aiming their firearm would be subject. 5- form a gun census committee tasked with keeping tabs on how many guns are in circulation, compared to how many guns they would like to see in circulation. 6- invent light saber
    18
  2641. What a great interview. We need to learn from our past mistakes. The biggest threat to humanity is near and we canā€™t even get the president to admit it. Internationally weā€™re not doing enough.
    18
  2642. Poor baby Jordan got his feelings hurt. What a victim man child.
    18
  2643. It's so disgraceful how the left is the side truly being silenced. There are so many grifters that make 6 figures on patreon-like sites alone because they claim the right is being silenced but issues on the left never are brought up. The Left has been black-listed COMPLETELY by the mainstream.
    18
  2644. We have become desensitised to his hullshit.
    18
  2645. A gvt for the people that is open for business? We really need to bring politics to our schools. I don't think people know what that means for voting for a PC gvt. People keep being charmed by empty words instead of look at the policy and how it'll affect you. Again, the low information voters won it for conservatives. No wonder conservatives are against free higher education. Hopefully we won't make the same mistake in our province and re-electe Couillard or the CAQ.
    18
  2646. They already are, david covered this in his video how we keep getting fired from college campuses and marginalized (Colin Kapeernick) and the right does nothing but try to control the conversation and debate. Hence why this is a really good video.
    18
  2647. Yes! You nailed it again, David! What we need most isn't a negative strategy but a positive vision for the future.
    18
  2648. A sober and rational analysis. I too am for a kitchen sink approach. Personally I think the Democratic Socialists of America is the way to go, I believe they are the American counterpart to the UK's Labour party. Though I support the movements of the Justice Democrats, Draft Bernie, and The Green party. I also recognize and understand each of those groups individual motivations. Ultimately I believe all of these groups have the same goals. Only by all of these movements working together can Neoliberalism be upended.
    18
  2649. Nobody cares because it is behavior consistent with what we already know about him. An affair with a porn star. And...? At least this was consensual. Consensual sex between 2 adults is at the bottom of the list of things we need to be worried about. Way more important things going on.
    18
  2650. He's even worse than his brother
    18
  2651. The media need to learn that the 1% is just that. They only count for 1% of the votes, much easier for the Democrats to appeal to the people in the bottom 50% because they only need to improve their numbers by a few points and the house becomes a landslide for the Dems
    18
  2652. Wow she's awesome ! Straight to the point, she wrecked the shit out of him, I wish more people were as straightforward as she is... Maybe in the future, congresses and governments all over the world will be full of people like her :)
    18
  2653. David, the reason you (and I) don't understand why people are like that is because you are a fundamentally good, moral person. We aren't in favor of needless suffering, we are alright with other people doing what they want to do to be happy as long as no one is getting hurt. The people who would deny other healthcare for being different are just...well...How to put this... They typically just mindlessly obey whatever their authority/religion tells them to do, or they are venomous tribalists who freak out and are terrified of anything that's not part of their norm. The crazy part is that those people will then turn around and harp on and on about being "the most moral" people. Because "Follow the tribe!" and "Keep things exactly the same!" are how they perceive morality.
    18
  2654. See Joy that's all we wanted. But really she'd be given more credit if she just did it from the beginning. She just another democratic hack not willing to take responsibility. It's about the fact that there had to be a week of wasted time looking into this for her to finally say "yeah I'm sorry." So I find it disingenuous as well. Why is it hard to own up to mistakes? You take the L and you Learn from them.
    18
  2655. You need to become an official politician translator
    18
  2656. Thanks David - love your show. No Oprah please Democrats.
    18
  2657. When I saw this video in my feed I had my fingers crossed youā€™d do the Ben Shapiro impression, and I was not disappointed. But really youā€™re not being fair because Bens wife is a Dr and he went to Harvard. Because thatā€™s relevant to every conversation right? Since he feels the need to let everyone know that 7 times a week šŸ˜šŸ˜šŸ˜. All jokes aside, how long will it be before people like Shapiro and others who take money from the NRA to give his ā€œunbiased opinionā€ start claiming that we need to arm students as well as teachers?
    18
  2658. man that crazy hot maniac NRA lady had nothing but empty platitudes
    18
  2659. Been reading Tommy Douglas by Vincent Lam. It's amazing what the CCF/NDP accomplished in their beginnings. Avi sounds like he could definitely help us get back to those ways of thinking.
    18
  2660. Besides the blatant bigotry which obviously drives him, Trump is showing his only main policy goal and political philosophy is to be mindlessly against anything Obama did, no matter what. He's a friggin man child that thinks everything to do with Hillary or Obama is bad, and while Im no fan at all of neoliberals, not everything they did was entirely bad, like DACA.
    18
  2661. Great video, more Canada stuff please!
    18
  2662. Hey man, just wanted to reach out and compliment you on the content you create. Great to see some intellectual Canadian content talking about what matters in our nation. Well done man!
    18
  2663. I don't know if you noticed but this is very important. When she is sitting on the train at the end of the ad she is looking up with a light in her eyes and then she looks at the camera. Very, very, very powerful positive subliminal signal there. She's gonna win!
    18
  2664. I'm a Boomer (60 years old) and trust me, things are way worse now! What a prick this guy and all the people who cheered are. I feel for the Millennials and am grateful I was born when this country was still a livable place for the middle class. I'm sorry your generation gets trashed so much. It's so unfair. You've inherited a shitty country from us. It's unfair.
    18
  2665. Don't forget that they never get close to 40 hours a week. That would require full time benefits, or at least the option of benefits.
    18
  2666. This is what've been dealing with in the States for years now. It's really despicable....2 Master degrees!!! And the tell you "pull yourself up by your boot straps."
    18
  2667. I never knew the history of socialized medicine in Canada--and how difficult it was to enact. Thanks for sharing this information. Every American should watch this and understand what the establishment is up to in thwarting our chance for Medicare for All.
    18
  2668. Thanks for the awesome analysis david . i thought maher would get his marbles back during his break but , No !
    18
  2669. One of the best Ben Shapiro Impressions I've heard. Good work on the video in general as well David.
    18
  2670. What the fuck does Joy Reed know about the UK election? Fuck all thats what šŸ˜‚

  2671. The whole Conservative campaign was a smear against Corbyn saying that he was a terrorist sympathiser and supported the IRA, then they form a government with the DUP, who actually did support the Unionists...... ummmmmmmmm....... I've never been so angry, they have awful views and May has just done this so that she can stay leader, it's unbelievable, but it'll only last a few months, then another general election, bloody brilliant
    17
  2672. Because of people like you, Nick. You are why Democrats can't win elections in a liberal-leaning country.
    17
  2673. She's unbelievable, send hope to my country

  2674. Hello from Alberta. I have a similar reaction to US people arguing about healthcare. They're so far behind in understanding that basic healthcare is a human right that is respected in a civil society in this modern world. Yes, Canadian provincial plansĀ have muchĀ room for improvement, but if you're in need, you are cared for. My spouse had toĀ use hisĀ work-based plan to cover his incomeĀ while he received cancer treatment this last couple of years, and though we have a budget crisis because of a reduced employment income, we are not destitute, as a comparable US couple would likely be by now. Our money troubles come from the private side of our affairs, not the public coverage from Alberta Health, which is reasonably good for most health needs except for, unfortunately,Ā optometry and dental, as mentioned in the video. Listening to US people in the media talking about healthcare, gun control and refugee strategies tends to turn me off. The frustration factor is just too high for me to handle without getting unsettled over it.
    17
  2675. Thank you for the job you do! Take care of your mental health ā¤

  2676. What a disgrace.
    17
  2677. Good take on wikileaks man. I didnt think about it that way. The data on the powerfull is still true. But the tactics i now see can be seen by the powerfull as treasoness. But stil the data is true.
    17
  2678. Great ending to the video :D
    17
  2679. I almost had a critical thought about my beliefs. Please help
    17
  2680. 5:42 What he said was bullshit. I work for a Union and some idiots tried to decertify us all over Healthcare. We still have to pay a monthly premium. M4A wouldn't cost us anything and would allow my employer spend more on yearly wage increases.
    17
  2681. Huh? So she says "these protests have been going on for weeks"...then goes on to say that they..."moved up the date to coincide with the opening of the Embassy." So which is it? On-going, or well timed?
    17
  2682. "Not sure what that means, but its weird." I think your reactions to the quotes in this video are hilarious!
    17
  2683. I'd like to say that this surprises me, but it doesn't. Black-skinned people are so obviously discriminated against in the USA. I was extremely angry to hear this and my heart goes out to that young man; I wish I could do more for him than simply not be a racist! I really like your channel, David, and would like to say that although the quality of your reports is top notch, I also very much like the fact that you don't look like Walter Cronkite or Dan Rather, etc. I hope that doesn't offend you. Please keep up the good work!
    17
  2684. Pharmacare is one of those rare political issues that would actually directly impact my life, and the lives of my family and friends. I agree, in that this incrementalism is a waste of time when we know the correct path is available. True, universal Pharmacare, shared across all Canadians.
    17
  2685. I call her tomigotchi
    17
  2686. DAMN!!! This needs to be shared...a lot.
    17
  2687. While I agree with you that Correct the record was just as bad as the Russian troll farms, the major difference is that one was set up by American citizens who have 1st amendment rights, Russians don't have 1st amendment rights. I feel like people need to look at this as a campaign finance issue, if we didn't already allow corporations to influence our politics (and didn't have incredibly lax campaign finance laws and dark money), the Russians wouldn't have been able to do the same thing. Publicly funded elections and getting more transparency on social media and TV political ads would solve this issue easily. Unfortunately the MSM doesn't want that because of how much money they make off of elections, so instead they only want to put a band-aid over the issue (and an incredibly damaging band-aid I might add) instead of going after the root cause, big money in politics and the notion that money is speech. This is a problem which started within the U.S., the Russians just exploited it, but MSNBC and CNN will never tell you that. P.S. Love your videos David, you always have a much more nuanced view of things, which is really refreshing, keep it up!
    17
  2688. the fact that they hid it let you know Max Kellerman hit the nail directly on the head.
    17
  2689. I had a foot surgery and got 50 Oxycodone, the surgery didn't go well so I had to have another a few weeks later and got 50 Hydrocodone. In total I took 6 pain pills the whole time...94 left over but a lot of people would have taken them all as prescribed. It's easy to see how people can get addicted by just having one procedure done.
    17
  2690. A tax cut for someone making $17,000/ year at Walmart is pointless. As much as I can't stand Wynne, I have to concede that Doug Ford is an idiot.
    17
  2691. Amazing impression. Lol.
    17
  2692. I think some of these people keep mixing sensible with ā€œsensitiveā€ both these words mean totally different things. I was taught to always mind my words and think of what I am saying before I say it and now somehow that is considered sensitivity instead of mindfulness. Itā€™s either people were dumbed by social media and the internet or they have become less mannered.
    17
  2693. I didn't used to listen to 1010 but I will now!!!
    17
  2694. It is repulsive what Trump's govt is doing to the people. If the spineless GOP and DNC let him have his $30m parade, America will have to salute the orange ape with 'Heil Trump'.
    17
  2695. Another intelligent well thought out clip from David. This guy has a wonderful talent of clearly explaining a situation and more importantly seeing things from all sides. Keep it up brother!
    17
  2696. After she said she was against Medicare for all and described it as a "government takeover of healthcare", just like a far right Republican would, I don't care what she has to say about anything. She needs to retire.
    17
  2697. As a white man myself I entirely agree that Petersen is a mean white man, a derailed rotten conservative. Having grown up in apartheid South Adrica I know a lot about mean white men. I think I heard him correctly when after saying that science and the humanities are occupied by the left he added that if they were occupied by the right he would object equally. Does that mean that he is against the humanities? This would be barbaric. He cites Nietzsche and others. He has objected to resentment of the poor or left but no one resents as he does. Just look at his face.
    17
  2698. The Democratic Party has been Moderate Republican for the past 30 years! That's the problem!!! That's why they are wiped out and we have a minority radical right in power! Yet we still have the Neo Liberal Center, Center Right trying to undermine Progressives! The problem is America does not trust Democrats anymore they say one thing and do right wing things!
    17
  2699. You sometimes hear about the "bubble" the mainstream media lives in, and nowhere is it more apparent then when it comes to this absurd idea that Democrats like Feinstein are too far to the left.
    17
  2700. Amazing story. Just proves the "war on drugs" is complete bullshit. Amazing how much of a difference a compassionate approach can have instead of an oppressive authoritarian one. The only thing that could of made this story more amazing is any data related to how this weakened black markets and cartels, if it did.
    17
  2701. She actually is giving solutions to our problems and even though she is a celebrity I hope that she can use her platform for us. Thanks for another strong video David.
    17
  2702. Increased policing wouldn't have done anything. In fact, they already had an increased police presence before this shooting because of the recent spate of gun violence. That helped the police get to the scene faster to contain the damage, but it did not prevent the shooting from happening. Conservatives won't be happy until we live in a police state. By the way, conservatives are now accusing the police of a cover-up and of being ISIS-sympathisers just because they won't blame this on radical Islam without evidence. I guess they don't really like police unless they are supporting their bigotry.
    17
  2703. Good video! Another extremely important advantage of safe injections sites is that there are large cost savings through prevention of diseases and overdoses. It's a much more affordable approach. I personally believe in them because it's the right thing to do because the war on drugs has failed, but some people only listen when talking about money unfortunately.
    17
  2704. There was a proposition on the ballot a couple of elections ago in Ontario where in addition to the seats won the traditional way, some more seats would be assigned to parties on the basis of the popular vote. That would have addressed to a large extent the vote splitting issue. I voted for that proposition, but unfortunately it failed. It seemed that one reason it failed was because people didn't research and understand it. If only we had voted for that proposition, we might not be in this situation now. Fucking people voting against their own interests....
    17
  2705. Thanks David your analysis. This is an unprecedented betrayal, and an immensely stupid strategic move. We are losing the only ally in the middleeast that only asks for mutual protection. The suadis, the israelis and the Turks all have larger regional ambitions which they are more than happy to drag us into. God i hope something will be done... but It's not looking good. Biji Rojava
    17
  2706. I flew from Washington DC (US Citizen) to Ottawa to attend a international security conference at the Canadian National Defence HQ back in 1997. When the customs man asked me if my visit was business or pleasure, I told him why I was visiting Canada. I was brought into an interrogation room and spent the next four hours waiting, answering questions, waiting and finally they let me arrive. I have no idea what set them off. Must we always be judged by the weakest intellects? - Doit-on toujours ĆŖtre jugĆ© par les intellects les plus faibles? Yes! Oui! Maybe I should not wear my Flyers jersey at Canadian airports? Here is a funny/not funny look at immigration - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9fB0GBwJ2QA
    17
  2707. Stephen Frys' reaction to the response from Michael Eric Dyson was very telling, he knew his point was inarguable and devastating! Fry is an extremely intelligent person, unlike Peterson. Funny to see all the anti-social justice right-wingers getting triggered over the fact Dyson called Peterson a "Mean, mad white man", as if he was being racist when he was simply calling Peterson out for exactly what he is. A hateful and angry white guy, not merely because of his race but because he views everything through a lens of white persecution
    17
  2708. Grateful to have swum there!
    17
  2709. Nicole THE LEFT IS ALREADY AND HAS BEEN UNDER ATTACK
    17
  2710. Iā€™m an Ontario student, and yesterday we just had walkouts. Iā€™m proud that our students are learning about the source of our cuts. I knew my province was going to hell the second he was announced as the PC leader.
    17
  2711. So, even in Canada, we can have semi-automatic guns, but what we do is limit cartridge sizes to usually 5 rounds, which I think makes sense. Other things I think they should push for, licensing for guns, enforcing safe storage laws, universal background checks. Would be interesting to hear some other solutions or ideas
    17
  2712. Dave, folks like you and Sanders make me proud to be a progressive. I hope you're right about everything here, and thank you for your work man!
    17
  2713. For a second there I thought that Politico article was from the onion wtf?
    17
  2714. People serving in positions of government authority have a duty and absolute responsibility to serve in that capacity with truth and respect. Maxine Waters is absolutely right to support our instinct to push back publicly on those ā€œauthoritiesā€ who are failing to serve with appropriate integrity. Sarah Sanders is one of those persons who steadfastly refuses to carry out her duties with truth and respect for the press or (by extension) the people. She sure isnā€™t responding to the members of the press when they attempt to hold her accountable for her consistent lying and obfuscation. Therefore we as citizens on the streets must take over the pushing back in public places along with other NON-violent strategies in other places. Well said Maxine and David.
    17
  2715. When I got divorced soon after opening my own retail business, I had to go on food stamps until I built my business up. I don't know what I would have done with out that and local food shelves to help me survive.
    17
  2716. Many on the left are opposed to UBI because they don't understand it, they're afraid of a world without work, they want to protect status quo welfare, or myriad other reasons. It took me a while to warm up to it as well. Give them a few more years, they'll come around.
    17
  2717. This is what happens when Goldman Sachs et al are the only constituency you listen to.
    17
  2718. The good thing here is that Bernie will destroy everyone in the 2020 election, the Democratic party made a mistake by pushing the Russia propaganda so early, by 2020 it will be old news and their earlier incompetence will be the focus in 2020. They don't stand a chance and Bernie will be president for as long as he lives with Nina as VP.
    17
  2719. Cory is not wrong but he is laying it on so thick. It seems disproportional to what is going on in the moment. I think he should have released a video statement or done an interview instead of doing it here with this woman. He should be pushing for impeachment if he's this angry. (Also yes @ my fav shirt)
    17
  2720. Just wanted to say I got my husband into your channel and it's nice to bond over agreeing with someone. It's great to have an eloquent progressive voice to listen to together. So thank you!!
    17
  2721. Increasing urban sprawl, throw some more cars on the road for the urban commute, hack into green space while developers stuff their and Fordā€™s wallet, whatā€™s not to like? He will be a corporationā€™s publicly funded servant. All that land will go to public housing, yes? Ford is breathtaking conservative cliche from way back. Heā€™s going to hammer those voters that consider him on their side. If your not rich, he does want to know you, unless he can buy your vote with $20, and a hotdog. Good grief, sometimes I just wonder what people are thinking when they get taken in by that crap.
    17
  2722. It's time to let the NDP have their shot at the helm . When Rae was in power the global economy was in recession, and a bad one at that . Also if the conservatives happened to be in power during that period , things would be a lot worse off today .
    17
  2723. DD, Your channel is my outlet from political depression.
    17
  2724. Well done! I love your work!
    17
  2725. Great point David!! Thanks so much for pointing out that if Dems are in power no more EXCUSES!!!
    17
  2726. Your last statement would make more sense if the bill did not specifically make an exemption for Christian Iconography and symbols. As Neil Macdonald stated in his article for CBC, they passed the law barring religious symbols while sitting under a cross and a Virgin Mary Statue..
    17
  2727. Iā€™m pretty sure I remember internal documents from Facebook (Meta) blatantly saying they are afraid of the right wing backlash if Facebook moderates their content. To the point that Facebook was actually boosting the radical right content in an attempt to appease the creators and avoid their rage.
    17
  2728. Lot's of sensitive snowflakes on the Peterson pole judging by the thumbs up vs thumbs down ratio. I just subscribed to this channel by the way....
    17
  2729. It's really tough for the parties that don't have any elected representation (we have a Libertarian Party as well, but hardly anyone has heard of them). However, at least on the federal level, the Greens have one seat in the House of Commons and in fact do participate in the debates. Here in BC, the Greens even hold the balance of power with their three MLAs. So, though things could be better, things are looking up.
    17
  2730. #bringbacktheshirtofroses
    17
  2731. Best review of this case I've seen, because it shows the background. Michael Cohen's testimony to Congress in 2019 was heroic. Thanks for being better than any TV news coverage I've seen all day. Subscribing.
    17
  2732. I work for a state in the US and one of the great benefits is the healthcare is second to none. One of the downsides to that is my pay is 20% less than it could be if we had single-payer healthcare in the US. My work pays $25k for each employee every year in healthcare, employees only have to pay 10% of that. It's absolutely astounding the things companies can get away with just because they have "good healthcare plans".
    17
  2733. We need a lot more democratic-socialist/social-Democrats in office. Did you hear about Sarah Smith? She made it too David. It took a really long time for them to call her race. But she made it through šŸ˜
    17
  2734. Let me make this clear. Criticising Israel is not anti-Semite or anti Jewish. The Israeli government is an aggressive government that's oppressive and un accepting of Palestinians and they are not helping the two country solution.
    17
  2735. Bernie is waking a lot of people up,.. ESPECIALLY in the rural demographics..
    17
  2736. great video david, btw, see those latest polls? i told eric grenier that the NDP would surge. when you dig into them, you see a real flakey liberal and green base super solid PC and a solid NDP base. this is gonna be a strategic vote election for the ages, probably mirroring bob rae's win
    17
  2737. I'm glad secular talk mentioned you as a good political source for Canada. You just got a new subscriber.
    17
  2738. David, donā€™t sell yourself short, your shirts are always on point. You have more empathy in your baby toe than all of the Koch clan put together. The Donors got what the wanted and now Ryan has set himself up to seek the destruction of social security. Iā€™m sure the money bags shirt will sell out, just like Congress. Could you comment on the sickening sycophantic praise Trumpā€™s Cabinet and Republican Congress have heaped on the ā€œMighty Leaderā€? Itā€™s totally frightening, so similar to North Korea and harkens back to a certain 1930ā€™s rally in Nuremberg.
    17
  2739. David, you seem to be a kinder man than I am... It's something I appreciate about you. Thanks for that. I love that you're Canadian and would like to see more Canadian content on your channel. While American news is important, we Canadians often forget that we live in a wonderful country with political issues of our own. Cheers!
    17
  2740. "In the free market of ideas, the good idea will always beat out bad ideas"..... In what universe ???? If that were true, war, bigotry, and prejudice of every kind wouldn't exist. Humans are not rational creatures, we aren't computers and everyone has a bias. Yes, we sometimes do act logically but there are also times were we act illogically and driven by emotion. Sometimes subconscious bias influences our perception of reality.
    17
  2741. So far i love this video. But i just had to pause it to say something. not a criticism by any means. its more a funny side thought comment. You said ilhan is likely to win her race because its a very blue district. now i dont know what the cook report says .... Ok nm i just looked it up its D+26, i had actually heard somehwere i think it was on 538 that i was actually D+52. but before looking up the real number i would have totally believed the later number. the last place winner on the dems side of that race had more votes than the total number of all the votes cast on the republican side! in fact, if you double the number of republican votes cast and cut Ilhan's vote total by half, she still had more than twice the number of republican votes (despite doubling them!). So yeah its a VERY BLUE district!!! =) sorry, i just had to comment about it cuz my coworker and i were so stunned by those numbers on election night.
    17
  2742. David you are going to be huge in this progressives space of ours. I would love one day to do a podcast with you. I am not as knowledgeable as you when it comes to politics but i can hold my own. I would not start a channel if i didn't think so. me and you have so much in common when it comes to progressive politics. I am an avid Justice democrat supporter. But yet just like you i believe in draft for Bernie. But i just think the justice democrats is the better method to get change done faster. I also love Jimmy by the way Jimmy did another video about Seth Rich where he says that there is not enough evidence on it. I also do not do any videos on seth rich cause i don't think there is enough there to do a video on it. But at the same don't care if someone Believes in it. And many other things that we have so much in common with when it comes to this movement. Anyways you are smart well spoken there is no way that you are not going to blow up.
    16
  2743. good point on canada and dental. i remember jack bringing that, up saying it was outrageous that we don't cover it. on the healthcare issue, non-americans just don't get the private insurance thing. why don't you just include it into your taxes like everyone else? everyone else does it and it works fine. some countries do it better than others, but everyone does it better than the US does.that's just a fact, you pay more and people who get government care get a bit of the shaft. why not everyone pay a bit less and get the best care available based on need? maybe the super rich don't want to have surgery on the same table as a poor person, they don't want to "catch poverty". or they think they deserve better then everyone else because of their status. probably the latter
    16
  2744. I despise Ivanka, and the fact that she "stood in" for her father, while she claims that she "stays out of politics" (even though she has an office in the White House) is ridiculous. However.. she looked great doing it. What she wore/how she looked was just about the only thing about the situation that isn't deplorable.
    16
  2745. Holly crap, there is intelligent life left on this planet. For a fleeting moment kid, you gave me hope. You actually get it. We need more like you. Not left, not right, but people who engage in that old, long forgotten practice of... Thought.
    16
  2746. I love you both!
    16
  2747. The problem lies in the voters as well. You have to be a party member, paying your dues, and take marching orders from their rich donors, or you are not a Democrat. Wait, what? If liberal Democrats truly care about pulling the American political system back from the right, they need to stop making excuses for their elected officials and realize they are simply not fighting for them. They are the ones who make the remark that Bernie's progressive policies are like a dream, but you would think they would rather have someone fight to get the best possible outcomes rather than handicapping themselves with "incremental change". Bernie's been saying the same things in Congress for decades for crying out loud. I am pretty sure Bernie would love his fight end in a dream come true. The worst part is how they allow Republicans to set the tone excusing Democrats for not being able to accomplish their goals. Progressive policies aren't possible because Republicans will obstruct, but of course they will! They are fighting for what their constituents and donors want and our Democratic officials need to do the same on their end with US being the people they listen to, but as long as the voters don't put their feet to the fire, they won't care. Obama needed to fight for the single payer option and not outright take it off the table as he did, and by doing so, he weaken his position in the negotiating table from the start! It's amazing how many Democrats don't see that stating "we have to be realistic" without noticing that that's not how you barter. You set the price you ultimately want and come down to what the buyer is willing to pay. Democrats are the worst negotiators in the world, but that's probably why many business owners are Republicans.
    16
  2748. OMG! How did I ever miss this channel? Speakin' my language! New sub.
    16
  2749. Good video, thanks for informing us of what can be done to inform the world about big oil plans to destroy what is left of the earth. Two thoughts: reasoning with oil executives is not gonna work - they have already drank the koolaid of personal enrichment at the expense of the planet...they don't even care about what they leave behind for their children, except in monetary terms. Second thought: you can't reason with the far right Christians either, because they build their faith around personal enrichment, and think that because Christ is gonna return at the end of some Apocalypse, earth only needs to last around 6000 years or so. Just plain nuts.
    16
  2750. Stephen Miller says that the administration decided to do this, a zero tolerance policy. But NOW the narrative is that itā€™s a ā€œDemocrat Lawā€. Which is it guys?
    16
  2751. Subscribed This whole thing is so epicly stupid that I have a hard time believing that it isn't an intentional attempt at halting the momentum that progressives have achieved post-election.
    16
  2752. Contrary to what Jordan Peterson thinks, political correctness isn't just a left-wing thing. It happens within every circle. To be sure, it does happen on college campuses and that's a problem. But it also happens in establishment circles. There are just some things you can't say on MSNBC or CNN. That's political correctness.
    16
  2753. i think one of the best things about your channel is that you constantly remind us that canada isnt a fairytale utopia and that a society needs to do more to maintain equality than just putting a pretty face on everything. obviously y'all are doing better than we are here in the us but so many american liberals aren't willing to do enough to truly change anything...thanks for breaking the illusion for us lol
    16
  2754. I hear a lot of "we need better politicians" but never "there's too many to get things done." There's too many shit politicians and we need better ones.
    16
  2755. I think Ford is against everything, I have no idea what he's for, he doesn't seem to have any policy ideas. I don't believe understands how the economy works and the money creation process, so it will be a sad day if he wins.
    16
  2756. Haha this guy's so savage. Like bitch dont show up to a gun fight without getting your facts right. Dont you know who David Doel is?
    16
  2757. Ā @bradbloom5649Ā  even if they remonetize the video, you don't get any $$ for the views prior to then. Especially for a news channel, that means that you lose out on almost all the monetization potential. For news commentary channels, very few watch old videos (unless it's an interview or something), so it's basically not worth it from a profit perspective.
    16
  2758. I too am deeply moved by this event. To have empathy for the suffering of others, for the people, for the plants, animals and even the insects shows you have a heart and compassion. Keep strong in that gift. Donā€™t let your compassionate heart grow cold and hard. Everything does move in cycles but we still FEEL and that keeps us humble. As long as we keep our heart open and kind towards each other, and the world we share together, then we can feel the wonder and the beauty too, when it comes...and it will.
    16
  2759. Everyone knew Bernie was going to propose a Medicare-for-all bill. The GOP was going to use the specter of the bill anyway. Their simplest pitch would be to pass this bill or else the dems were going to propose a gov't. takeover of healthcare. And without a bill to base it on, the GOP could turn single payer into any bogeyman they wanted. Bernie's bill makes it harder for them to lie about what the progressives want to do. P.s. David needs to move to the U.S. already. He already knows more about our politics than most of us do. Lol We need more smart progressives.
    16
  2760. iā€™m from boehnerā€™s district and i canā€™t tell you how many people i grew up with that either are/have been hooked on heroine or who have overdosed and/or died ... we could have used that support here a long time ago. fuck him.
    16
  2761. 12:32 article: "tucker's mother left the family when he was six. 'totally bizarre situation- which i never talk about because it was actually not really part of my life at all' he said". huh. i'd say he talks about it all day every day at work, subliminally.
    16
  2762. You're a handsome guy. You can be the next Magic Mike. I can feel it. I'm rooting for you sir.
    16
  2763. This is a surprise to literally no one on the left....now can they do the "(corporatist) Democrats are super liberal"?
    16
  2764. Davidā€™s ā€œworking class versionā€ of networks that cater to business interests is actually a fantastic insightful point. Iā€™m a little shocked I have not heard it before since itā€™s just this beautifully irrefutable strong argument that is obvious once you unpack the assumptions underneath ā€œbusiness networksā€. Good job. That should become a progressive point in heavy rotation on screen/audio/print media & with colleagues/fam/pals.
    16
  2765. Glad to see that you`re out there trying your best to report what goes on around the world. You seriously remind me of NPR/KCRW. You obviously have a slight bias but you do your best to be objective than most mainstream media. Hopefully you grow on this channel a lot. As soon as I am able to help you by becoming a patreon (need a job first lol), I`ll donate straight to your account. Great job David!. Happy New Years!
    16
  2766. Journalists,medics,cripples were targeted,why?
    16
  2767. I realised a long time ago that Dave Rubin was an intellectual fraud, glad to see others pointing it out.
    16
  2768. Raising the minimum wage will help mitigate wealth inequality and lift many people out of poverty.
    16
  2769. Legalize that dank!
    16
  2770. I watched this video, and then I immediately watched it again. So well done, I always look forward to your work.
    16
  2771. peterson opening clearly shows he knows he is talking bullshit, he just side steps it and call what is a reaction to oppression (what he calls tyranny), another oppression he defends that authoritarianism ought to exist on hierarchy and how that is legitimate because "society has ways to circunvent and correct that" in the same breath he criticizes the people who react and fight against such oppression he is not ignorant, he knows what he is doing, he is just a perverse intellectually dishonest person
    16
  2772. Right-wingers seem to love to feel like victims. Peterson looked like he was about to cry over such a "mean" comment, remember, these are the same people who say to not be so sensitive and to have thicker skin.
    16
  2773. I can't believe it took me this long to come across your channel. Excellent research.
    16
  2774. Your Leviticus explanation is literally the greatest argument I have heard in a long time!! Long live bacon and sharp haircuts! Fight the power!!
    16
  2775. Love seeing more and more progressive YouTube channels popping up. This just shows how strong the progressive platform is. Keep at it David!
    16
  2776. I agree, one of the most misused tactics of the right-wing is this bullshit false equivalency. Why are people so stupid to fall for this?
    16
  2777. Sounds like the Cons care more about bowing to US corporations than helping Canada, hmmm now if only there was a word that. Also welcome back, David and next time don't leave without telling us! Its the darkest timeline anything could've happened to you, you emphatic beautiful man ;__; I mean hope you had fun in France.
    16
  2778. Damn David, I think you're on to something there. I would love to see Ana Challenge Feinstein. Ana would make an excellent Senator.
    16
  2779. "Is that American?" Yes. The right to assembly and the right to petition and boycott are some of the most American god damn things.
    16
  2780. David, I just love getting my real news from you and other progressive channels. You deserve so many more subscribers. RATIONALITY IS SEXAAAY
    16
  2781. OMG where did THAT Barak Obama go???
    16
  2782. I just became a patron. Thanks for all the great work you produce.
    16
  2783. I like to say if you want to know everything you need to know about Ben Shapiro - watch him interview Paul Ryan and basically cream his pants in the process.
    16
  2784. Makes perfect sense David. YouTube/Google has sold out. Look at the first example s all have ties to major media companies, old media companies. And you old media does not want new media to shine. YouTube sold out to old media and their advertisers, plain and simple.
    16
  2785. and THIS is why when we do implement m4a, its important to keep private insurance out of the entire game. if you allow them to ride alongside universal healthcare, they will eventually weasel their way back into the game
    16
  2786. This is so awesome!!! Love to see this valuable info getting out there more and more. Director X is an inspiration. Thank you!
    16
  2787. Also, there is a "clear answer", and that is, while Clinton would have been a better choice, it has no bearing on what progressives do now . Not only that, but the golden rule is that you never blame your voters. It is absolutely understandable why people didn't want to vote for Hillary in the election. Now we unite and get behind progressives and move on. We move the fuck on and ignore the Mahers of the world who want to relive elections.
    16
  2788. District 2 resident here. Voted for Eastman, 10/10 will vote again in November. Thank you for your coverage! Love the show, keep up the great work!
    16
  2789. I have NO IDEA why so many old fucks HATE Bernie!! That motherfucker is EVEN FIGHTING FOR THE PEOPLE THAT HATE HIM!!! So much fucking respect for Bernie, he's the only reason I can even still stand to be involved with political shit. That man is a light to this world and I will truly mourn when he is gone from us.
    16
  2790. Between this and him just completely giving up on electoral reform completely despite that being a key campaign promise, and his support of the TPP...Well, lets just say that I'm REALLY not likely to vote Lib next election. The NDP tend to do better in Quebec anyway.
    16
  2791. I'm the mother of a high school freshman who participated in the national walk-out. Before he made his decision on whether to participate or stay in class, I told him many times that it was fully his decision and that I'd support him no matter what he decided to do. So when people say that the left is mobilizing these kids, I say, "Oh honey, it's way worse than that: these kids are mobilizing US!"
    16
  2792. THANK YOU!!! As a Canadian I always found Americans worship of the founding father's creepy. I respect Plato, Neitszche, Bakunin, and others... But they aren't GODS. As time progresses, values are reevaluated... No man/woman should be considered infallible.
    16
  2793. After they got PUSHED into it by Martin Luther King, Jr and other members of the Civil Rights Movement. That's who I THANK every day of my life. Read a book, watch a documentary, and here's a quote: "Power concedes nothing without a demand." - Frederick Douglass
    16
  2794. I wonder how much public support is now left for the Liberal government in Canada after seeing how the Trudeau government handled weakly and wrongfully on issues like the climate change, Gaza Massacre and many more policies revealing how weak they are in front of the US and how they refuse to do the right things for indigenous community that he sworn to protect in his campaign? What a disappointment! Trudeau is just a pretty face.
    16
  2795. Vote NDP.
    16
  2796. Thank you yet again...for your fairness and your balanced logical way of reporting...i am so grateful to you
    16
  2797. Isn't it ironic that no vids discussing medicare with senior who have it appear on the lame stream media. Come to think of it, you do not see on independent media either. Everyone says that seniors are quite happy with medicare but no one asked to to stand up and say so. I am a senior on medicare and I would gladly stand up and tell lindsey graham a thing or to about his statement that it is falling apart.
    16
  2798. If Roy Moore wins this election, Talibama will join Arizona on the list of states I will no longer visit or spend money in.
    16
  2799. A problem with the offshore tax havens is that they're international in scope and demand international cooperation to resolve it given that much of this money resides in the undeclared profits of multinationals. As far as trickle down goes, it's nothing but 8 figure annual bonuses that trickle down to the corporate executives who cook up these cunning shell game schemes to shield earnings from the CRA. The CRA, incidentally, had it's operating budget drastically slashed by the Harper Conservatives so that forced the Liberals to restore funding which they have done so but they haven't given the CRA the resources it needs to do this major kind of work in tracking down the booty. The NDP genuinely care about this issue as stated, so they got my vote on this issue among others.
    16
  2800. This like Mike Harris all over again. We are still trying to get over his mess.
    16
  2801. Santorum has such tunnel vision on this issue! He will do anything to make this NOT about guns, which is so narrow-minded and 'off the mark', but typical of sychophants to/of the NRA!
    16
  2802. Just shows how much they care about our future.
    16
  2803. On behalf of my generation, I apologize for not having the guts to change these arcane, destructive and unjust laws. Now we are in our 50s, 60s and 70s, in power, the majority of voters, and can't find the fortitude to free ourselves. Instead, we let the worst politicians, law enforcement and the justice system take away our liberties, conduct racially biased imprisoning and in effect ruin the nation.
    16
  2804. No, people are literally starving and children are being bombed in a U.S. backed genocide, fuck his "hard life" There are a million things the NYT should be reporting.
    16
  2805. Why are the poor always the victims? Because we live in a capitalist system. This is so simple and obvious. In places like Norway it is not jobs that are important, it is the workers. You can't make life better for everyone if you protect outdated jobs and pay. Trump helping coal miners stay coal miners is utterly stupid.
    16
  2806. I don't want to censor anyone but it is a fact that people kill what they fear, and the more and more scared you get someone, the more and more helpless you make them feel in the system, the more and more they will likely look to take action in other ways. You can't expect those other ways to always be prepper mashed potatoes.
    16
  2807. It's kind of like doctor tiller the baby killer with bill Oreilly
    16
  2808. I had a coworker who was black named Anton, but he went by Andy on his resume to get the job interview. He had to pretend to have a white guys name to get a job interview
    16
  2809. Israel (the government) is its own worst enemy. Every time they do things like this they cause MORE people to be disgusted by them, fulfilling the belief they have that everyone hates them a bit more with each incident. Stupidity incarnate. All over a book which NO ONE can prove is not fiction. Might as well be murdering people because they don't know how to find Waldo.
    16
  2810. David always loving your content! Youā€™re the only person on YouTube that I joined their patreon. Keep up the good work and bringing the passion for the truth!
    16
  2811. Fake news hipster David Doel is covering me very very negatively. Not nice!
    16
  2812. Even though Doug Jones is an establishment Democrat, I was OVERJOYED and very pleasantly surprised when that anti-gay, theocratic pedophile lost (my reaction was the GIF of Carlton from Fresh Prince dancing). I hope we never have to mention Roy Moore's name again. P.S.: You-Know-Who called for an election recount; and it was so obviously desperate and petty that even FOX "NEWS" wrote an article basically telling him that it's over, and to shut up and concede defeat.
    16
  2813. Aye! Congrats on the 10k
    15
  2814. Make no mistake, there's a clear reason for the embassy move. It takes a neutral zone, and wrongly legitimizes this area as belonging to Israel.
    15
  2815. I wish I could give more thumbs up. I already watched and liked this already but I had to comeback for the re-watch. So much good preaching (from You And Max) was in this video.
    15
  2816. The whole thing was weird...
    15
  2817. You are quickly becoming my favorite progressive voice on YouTube. This is some of the most in depth coverage I've seen on this story, I doubt I would have even heard about the situation with Jim Justice if not for this. Keep it up, man!
    15
  2818. I loved how he mixed up group rights with criminal justice, two totally unrelated things, and then add up to spice collective punishment. As if every single leftie from liberal, democrat to communist is inevitably going full MAO or Stalin.
    15
  2819. Damn.. this was good. Perfect way to cover it
    15
  2820. I used to volunteer for dogwood, back when everyone was protesting against the pipeline. The NDP helped greenlight this pipeline. No mystery why they are doing this. I already signed the petition, but tomorrow I will give them a call and spread the word with my friends in Vancouver.
    15
  2821. If he's a good guy, how the hell did he end up working for Bush? This dude better repudiate everything he ever supported on the Republican side. All sorts of establishment types hate Trump, but that doesn't mean they are any better than Franken was, or Hillary, for that matter.
    15
  2822. Historical moment we are living in after all!! Who knew it would take Trump's nonsense to question the historical two-party system. baby steps? in which direction?
    15
  2823. I don't even understand why ANYONE listens to people making millions of dollars to tell us their supposed version of the "news". Who the hell needs another rich person's opinion?
    15
  2824. That was the best deconstruction of the Ben Shapiro schtick that I have ever seen. Worthy of a Raymond Burr performance. It is just too bad that the public is not discussing how to follow up on such insights. What social media has been doing is listing free standing statements instead of actual discussion of ways of collectively dealing with things like the shallow thought massaging from right wing manipulators.
    15
  2825. He was even a carpenter! Lol
    15
  2826. You are exactly right. This is mother nature teaching us the most important lesson we can learn. To experience the present moment fully, because nothing lasts. Few things teach this lesson with the beauty that Hawaii does.
    15
  2827. I think a lot of people watch this vid and got defensive of Chapelle instead of understanding the message. You are completely right, intend vs impact is the issue. Dave may not have meant harm but his words were harmful and he needs to understand that rather than get defensive for being called out. His opinion on gender, his opinion on terfs and his opinion on JK Rowling were all wrong and harmful and no those were not jokes, those were his opinion in a special to help set up a joke. He meant what he said about those things which was harmful. It's not that hard to understand.
    15
  2828. Corbyn is the most rational leader.
    15
  2829. Worst admin. EVER.....
    15
  2830. Yes it was, it was like night and day. No worries about going into debt over a cough, and everyone just seemed way more happy and friendly up here. Best decision of my life.
    15
  2831. I am at a lose for words . I dd not leave the computer yesterday when I was working because of this tragedy. I still cant believe it. But that cop made me feel better somehow. And this video by David is very well done. But I still cant believe it.
    15
  2832. The Rational National god i adore how clear and concise you are in your delivery in your videos, youre very talented
    15
  2833. The WHO definition should be more widely known especially for people like Chappelle.
    15
  2834. So if you die in the line of progressive activism Hillary will not only forgive you for having been a racist, sexist, basement dwelling white male Berniebro, she will retroactively rewrite your legacy to be in alignment with a narrative that serves as propaganda for her dark money "resistance. " How incredibly gracious she is, if only everyone could be so lucky to be worthy of such recognition. #imwithher
    15
  2835. I met Dr. Brill at the Mohave County Fair this year. I'm glad Gosar's brothers and sisters are supporting him. He's a huge supporter of Bernie Sanders, and worked on the Senator's Presidential campaign here. He supports universal health care, which is a huge issue with me as a disabled American. He's just about as progressive as they come in this area, and has my full support.
    15
  2836. David, my husband and I really enjoy your videos and love your point of view. Thank you for all your hard work and standing up for the beliefs of the majority of people.
    15
  2837. I just sent a donation to Levi Tillleman because of this. He supports universal health care and opposes assassinations by military drones.
    15
  2838. I agree with your overall point, but to me, this isnā€™t a big deal. The press secretary deals with the media, not policy, and will pivot to align with who he/she is working for. When hiring a press secretary, you probably only care about how good he/she will be in handling the media, not the minutia of his/her policy opinions. For example, all of trumpā€™s press secretaryā€™s have pivoted to defend him, despite probably not agreeing with him on everything.
    15
  2839. David she fooled you baby and I love you I hope you really REALLY we're not fooled by her like someone crying wolf so many times and the wolf is finally there and got there asses cus they LIED SO GOT DAMMMM MUCH NO ONE CAME TO HELP THEM it's ok to give ppls or certain one's the benefit of the doubt but her no and ROSEANNE no when they keep doing the same things putting there foot in there mouths 4give them yes but b careful of them and ppls like them šŸ™āœŒ.
    15
  2840. Medicare for all and single payer will never be a reality if you don't take the support of those who are not naturally progressive! Get over the purity tests!
    15
  2841. Keep doing more David, I really enjoy these conversations!
    15
  2842. My husband voted for Trudeau because he wants legal weed, I wouldn't have put that above my principals but he's been an activist for years on this issue. I think a lot of people thought the same, but to my mind he could have gotten a better deal with the NDP. I"m an immigrant so I don't know all the in's and out's and history of Canadian politics but I know a corporate tool when I see one and to my mind Canada has to take a chance on the NDP next election and the NDP have to make sure they run on real progressive issues. So far so good here in BC, I'm really loving the new NDP/Green party coalition here, they are doing things that I as a socialist/progressive approve of and none of this PC bullshit that does nothing in reality for anyone but piss off people who might be on your side otherwise.
    15
  2843. I had the joy of swimming in this lake at 3 different visits to the Big Island over 10 years. It was left wild, and took 15 minutes to walk down into. My most romantic memories are from this sacred place. Deepest thanks to Pele and to the land owner who allowed access, for this treasure while it lasted. Forever in my heart...
    15
  2844. Bernie would have won. Thanks establishment dems, media, Super D's, HRC camp, you gave us Trump.
    15
  2845. It blows my mind how quickly Bernie's supporters forgot the message of his whole goddamn campaign "NOT ME US". Like I'm Canadian, and I was prepared to move to the U.S. if Bernie was elected. And the moment COVID hit, after the Dem party congregated to cut the head of the hydra, and he stepped down to try and fight the longer fight, EVERYONE was so quick to call him a sell-out, or that he was a plant, etc etc. Like the everyone was so quick to jump down a 70 year old man's throat-- like the guy didnt have a fucking heart attack and got back up the next day. The problem was that all these supporters just expected Bernie to fix everything, with no real expectation on how hard this is gonna be. Bernie didn't let them down, they've let him down.
    15
  2846. Love your videos David! Great, thoughtful content. Keep up the great work! Iā€™m starting a new job on the 29th and when I do I will be supporting you on Patreon!
    15
  2847. Alberta has been gradually lifting the minimum wage since the NDP were elected here.
    15
  2848. All the other political channels I watch have been putting out horrible content lately, but David continues to put out the good stuff. I hope you end up doing this full time. We need people like you in the world. If anyone asks what I'm thankful for this Thanksgiving, I'm seriously going to say The Rational National.
    15
  2849. I have just become a Patron! It's the first time I have ever done it on any news show. You have great content, presentation and I like your no bull approach. I also appreciate your coverage of Jeremy Corbyn. He is the only hope for the country.
    15
  2850. Get ready David Doel Because Oklahoma is next and maybe Arizona after that
    15
  2851. Man this about to be the us 2016 election all over again with the dumb far right winger winning without the popular vote, anyway it's always great seeing Canadian news on your channel!
    15
  2852. If the same circumstances unraveled in the U.S. he would have 50+ bullets in him. I'm very impressed by how it was handled. Now he can actually be questioned and the story can have closure, instead of him dying and the story wrapping up with "well, I guess we'll never know."
    15
  2853. Sanders would win by 10 points easy. nation wide.
    15
  2854. Everybody in the establishment is complaining Bernie is too old to run. Meanwhile, Joe Biden's just sitting there, saying: "Kids these days, they don't know how good they got it! Back in my day..." Jeez, grandpa, give me a break!
    15
  2855. Absolutely agree; playing at holier-than-thou morality tales at the expense of the people is short-sighted, vain and stupid.
    15
  2856. Reading the comments, it makes you realize, thereā€™s a lot of smart people that care about this country. ā€œMillenialsā€ get a bad wrap from older generations, yet itā€™s us who will vote into office the ones that will make change. Or we will run ourselves. Cheers you American legends šŸŒŠšŸ‘
    15
  2857. good piece Rat Nat, great observations and conclusions
    15
  2858. I demand more Canadian content. I KNEW Ford would win..... Canada is alway at least a year behind. lol
    15
  2859. Thanks! I love your podcast. Keep doing what you're doing. We need your voice.
    15
  2860. From my time as a student here in the US. Stuff got stolen from teachers rooms constantly, add a gun and yeah that's defiantly getting stolen. I even remember a school laptop was stolen one time.
    15
  2861. David, Thank you, so much, for caring about America and itā€™s people. I really appreciate your show and incredible insight as to how things work. Itā€™s interesting learning how Canada functions too. I really think that the only defense against all the corruption (anywhere) is to have people informed as much as possible and, hopefully, choose correctly to heal society. You are part of that defense so, keep doing what you do and know itā€™s appreciated.
    15
  2862. The largest battle happening right now is between the establishment whom are beholden to corporations and the people that believe in humanity before profits. The left/right battle is just a distraction, this is so much bigger than political affiliation. Great video.
    15
  2863. Ted Cruz is the same slimy politician who threw his principles out the window after Trump insulted his wife and father, by turning around and phone banking for Trump. And he's going to sit there and say he's a "real man". And when confronted on his own name change on CNN he brought up how his parents immigrated from Cuba and worked, as if to say they weren't one of the 'bad immigrants from Mexico'.
    15
  2864. Yes! And it's frustrating that some ppl don't get this. They think it's because he's working for the Dem party & that he simply doesn't want ppl to Dem exit. Bernie is about the issues & he just wants ppl to vote & to participate in the political process. Especially young ppl. He knows that that's what it will take to overcome any rigging & to change the horrible course our country has been on.
    15
  2865. Your style if informing folks is one of the best out there. Not only do you not preach, denigrate, or offer closed end opinions, you actually also read your comments, respond, and sample many of them for further discourse. Perhaps the next step, beyond tuning your processes, is to offer the means to graduate the issues you discuss to the action level, or point people to places and other folks where they can put ideas into action. Sadly, I am being increasingly turned off by sites I used to really appreciate and enjoy because they devolved into opinion and disparagement columns, and nobody needs those. Thanks for what you do.
    15
  2866. as a canadian. this is so embarrassing ....
    15
  2867. Thanks for sharing David. Really good piece. Agree 100% that we need to get out and show/feel/live our gratitude everyday.
    15
  2868. Essential to keep supporting news that is not bought by anyone BUT the people.
    15
  2869. Tell DICK the center is to his left.
    15
  2870. Ok itā€™s personal now, I want Comcast and Verizon run out of business.
    15
  2871. So this comedian, Jen Kirkman, BELIEVES that Bernie Sanders is a paid "chaos agent?" Guess she grew up "BELIEVING" that "Get Smart" by Mel Brooks was a TV documentary series chronicling Agent Smart's continuing battles with Chaos Agents? That makes as much sense as her incredibly misdirected rage over whatever slights she has endured as a woman being focussed on a gray haired father figure like Bernie Sanders while she embraces THE MOST DISTRUSTED AND DISLIKED AMERICAN POLITICIAN, $HILLARY BILLARY, INC., EVEN MORE DISTRUSTED THAN TRUMP & CO., INC. for chrissakes! Let's benevolently hope that Jen Kirkman's career affords her the health insurance Mrs. Bill Clinton couldn't even IMAGINE as a reality for ALL Americans. She'll need it for many decades of deep psychological therapy if she continues living in such a personally unreflective and verbally violently lashing out manner - based ONLY ON HER UNPROVEN BELIEFS THAT FLY IN THE FACE OF HISTORICAL RECORD! Chainsaws and sex - that's this Jen Kirkman's "contribution" to political discourse in this already politically beleaguered nation? Preacher Jen, of the $hillary Billary, Inc. cult, do unto yourself what you'd wish for others!
    15
  2872. Ive had discussions with many people about medicare for all and what i find is that the people who oppose it are willfully ignoring the data. They talk about death panels or how the US is to divers to make it work ( which is coded racism ) or any other talking point and when I point out that in Canada we have a single payer and it works lots of untrue things get said and the responses i start getting are things that dont have anything to do with healthcare.
    15
  2873. Steve Casarez Did you actually read the article you are referring to?
    15
  2874. Doug Ford is nothing short of a corporate pig. If this criminal fools the people and takes Power , we will be set back 20 years. When you have a larger more active amygdala, along with a smaller less active anterior cingulate cortex, morality becomes a difficult concept. How else do you explain the Republicans trying to jail 20 people 70 years for braking a window in protest . Or 10 people 10 years for laughing while the window was broken. Or five different states trying to pass bills so you can drive through a crowd of protesters. How obvious does it have to be. Google. Conservative brain VS Liberal brain.
    15
  2875. half the dems would be right of harper and 3/4 would be right of mulruney. obama boasted he was in line with reagan.......not something to brag about
    15
  2876. I always love your shirts lol
    15
  2877. And you're foolish if you believe the gas companies will pass on that four cents savings.
    15
  2878. keep these videos coming! i love your canadian videos and i share them with the green party in halifax. you may know some of them.
    15
  2879. Love the Alex Grey art in the thumbnail <3 Psilocybin and DMT infused Ayahuasca are the pathways to profound understandings. I'm of the belief that hallucinations experienced by Biblical figures, are simply misunderstood psychedelic experiences. What Im disappointed with, here in Hamilton, suddenly its more difficult to get weed as of yesterday, Oct 17th. We had dozens of rec weed dispensaries, that have all closed down due to bureaucratic bs. Im back to buying from a dealer lol... When it comes to psychedelics, start smaaaallll and be patient, sometimes the experience can take a while to come into full effect. Dont over do it or you might have a bad time.
    15
  2880. Political power is a zero sum game. What you lose in representative government, you gain in corporate tyranny. David Miller gave the key word to unlock this shady backroom plot: "Developers."
    15
  2881. Man this guy need a break after what he went through
    14
  2882. this guy is good
    14
  2883. Theres been big Liberal policies that were further left than ndp (whos doing the basic income pilot?) ndp? ha they blew it last election letting liberals campaign for infrastructure spending vs their balanced budget and legal marijuana vs decriminalizing possession, wonder why they were gutted, real hard. I don't get why Wynne is so unpopular, sure hydro sell off is a tough choice but go down the list and people like the coal power gone, investing in infrastructure, 15$ wage, the cap and trade program that just brought in half billion dollars to use in green projects and the economy is strongest of any in g7 countries don't get what some people are on her about makes me think it has to do with her being a gay woman or just about time for a change but don't know how can stomach Doug still, will have to see where this goes over time.

  2884. Great video Well done!

  2885. The lobbyist of the insurance industry have bought our government along with other corporations there for they will continue to serve them instead of the American people. People of the US love to vote against their own best interests.
    14
  2886. "for the little guy"
    14
  2887. Off topic, but you are gorgeous šŸ˜¢

  2888. Steve Bannon is such a populist no one wanted him at the New Yorker festival.
    14
  2889. Good choice.
    14
  2890. You need far more subs. Keep doing what you do.
    14
  2891. I normally don't give money but I am now. I gave last year to David Pakman so it's going to you instead. It's only $60 but I will help with what I have to give. Best wishes and thanks for your stuff!
    14
  2892. As an American, I hope you will continue to cover Canadian politics. This is interesting.
    14
  2893. I decided to become a patron. This is the fourth progessive channel I am supporting. And proud to do so.
    14
  2894. The center of the state of Vermont is on the same parallel as Toronto. People who live in those Northern latitudes typically own at least one good coat. How could someone think that this was even a story, let alone the basis for a hatchet piece?
    14
  2895. The sad thing is that many ppl think CEOs deserve this kind of payments without knowing that nothing works without the actual working forces. So cost cuttings and layoffs are easy ways for these C levels to show profit and improving business. Thanks David for covering this, your logic is right on the point on this issue
    14
  2896. ISPs have: 1- engaged in anti-compeditive collusion to create regional monopolies and price fixing. 2- bribed congress to destroy internet privacy 3- subverted democracy to destroy net neutrality. 3-strikes, you're out, time to make it a national/municipal utility and utterly destroy these companies. They've proven without doubt that they simply cannot be trusted with a utility vital to the information age.
    14
  2897. Many gay couples have children either by adoption or by donations of egg, sperm, or both. So ignoring this FACT, if they didn't have children because they were gay, they be more ecologically friendly and help preserve both the human species and most of the life on this planet because they wouldn't be contributing to overpopulation. Why are right-wingers so simple minded? "More is better!" They have no understanding of balance or complexity, only all-or-nothing thinking.
    14
  2898. Any business plan that relies so heavily on a low minimum wage, to the extent that the business itself will be disrupted or rendered unprofitable, is not much of a business plan. I have zero sympathy for any company whining about shrinking margins, my sympathies lie entirely with the poorly paid employees and I am willing to accept whatever portion of the minimum wage increase that must be passed onto the consumer. If my morning coffee at Tim Horton's for example, rises from $2.25 to $2.50 ... so be it.
    14
  2899. Yes! Had to comment and I NEVER comment. Great video and this caught me SO off guard. Effective David, very effective.
    14
  2900. Also, why don't people like Cloobeck just join the RNC?!
    14
  2901. Bringing single-payer into the conversation is exactly what needs to happen. You can't have a debate about healthcare without that being a central alternative to private solutions. Trying to keep it out of the conversation is gross political negligence.
    14
  2902. Just became a patron. I love the no nonsense way you present yourself.
    14
  2903. As for Peterson's claim he isn't part of the right... on matters of race, culture and gender, he most certainty he is. For all non-white male groups, he utterly discounts the damaging impacts that group based stereotyping (using less explosive language here) has on their livelihood and well-being. He discounts the serious damage that historical processes have caused on non-white male groups, specifically people of color, and how these processes continue to hinder their progress today. He tells such group instead, that their perspectives are rooted in conspiratorial, grievance based Marxist/postmodernist thought (as if the latter is the natural byproduct of the former), and that they should pick themselves up by their bootstraps. Meanwhile when it comes to disgruntled white men committing violence/hating women, he says society should intervene. And when called out for racism, sexism and blatant double standards, cry foul. That is textbook mainstream right-wing politics. That is Tucker Carlson in a nutshell.
    14
  2904. BOOM. You explained it in 10seconds.
    14
  2905. WTF does Hillary know about strategy? Wasnt much of a strategist last year, was she?
    14
  2906. I was a victim of this nonsense on two separate occasions. I live in China and have a Chinese wife. When my mother became ill we wanted to visit her. My wife was denied entry twice. When I returned to Canada alone I was told by my local Representive's office that I had enough documentation to apply for my wife to be a permanent resident.As my livelyhood is here, I have come to the conclusion that I should remain in China permanently. I am very disappointed in Canada in this regard and now my mother is gone my wife can never meet her.
    14
  2907. Harris may not be a receiving money directly from the health care industry but she is a member of a democratic power block that is. Would she stand up against those members or is this just another show along the lines of the Trump resistance? We've been fooled before. Once bitten twice shy and we've been bitten repeatedly for decades. I'm not cynical I'm just skeptical.
    14
  2908. I live in Massachusetts and have been to Amherst a few times to visit friends before. Yeah. The campus is huge. A vast majority of the people you're going to encounter just walking around outside are going to be students at UMass Amherst. At the very beginning of this video I thought the allegations were going to be that he was dating his own students, because his status as mayor only makes a difference with his staff, not the rest of the population. It's baffling to me that anybody thought they might be able to make a case out of this. It embarrasses me that it came out of UMass.
    14
  2909. Where was Ed's voice when George W. launched an illegal war that killed thousands? Silent... As with you David, I don't know what to think... Allow me to take a breath or two...
    14
  2910. Bernie is much brighter and more intelligent than Trump it's unbelievable how he didn't win, not to mention he has a conscious
    14
  2911. Another part I laughed at when Ford stated you can used to child care credit to get whatever child care you need. Then said you can used it to get a Nanny. How can you choose when there is no day care spots to pay for, I guess since he had a Nanny he think everyone should be able to afford one. He is a walking Joke, and I am voting NDP.
    14
  2912. What irritates me is that the people who would care the most about this under any other president always give Trump a pass.
    14
  2913. Hey David, great video as always. I thought this one in particular was very well put together and as always enjoy your opinion and point of view. Keep making great content my man, I always look forward to when you release new material!
    14
  2914. This is nothing but republicans canā€™t get young people protest for anything thatā€™s humane lol
    14
  2915. thx. I really enjoy all your shows. And I'm 58 yrs old. There r a lot of us out there who would rather have progressive candidates since we live on SSI and hope that they will make a difference! Keep them coming.
    14
  2916. lol - I liked your final assessment of Tom Watson at the end. Jake seems to be the most willing to let progressives speak out of the MSM, and not try to spin what they say; he did that Q&A livestream with Bernie in Texas the other day too.
    14
  2917. Take a deep breath, and start all over again. Progressives should be working relentless, ceaseless, ruthless till they succeed. This is NOT a terrible result, David is correct. You HAVE to focus on the process, the result will arrive when it has to.
    14
  2918. David, you are the man!!! Thank you for a good articulated argument about the lying right!
    14
  2919. your flower shirts are like the Obama tan suits, triggers the haters
    14
  2920. David Doel, that is the most fantastic video of THE YEAR! I only wish that there was those on The View who could call out Meghan using the points you presented! So AWESOME!
    14
  2921. Great point about how the media controls the narrative ā€” they choose what to focus on.
    14
  2922. Trumpism has elevated racism and intolerance to mainstream legitimate positions so that now racists and bigots are no more afraid of speaking and acting on their convictions. The second step is to put them in positions of power at all levels. I think I saw a piece somewhere about the Trump administration trying to pack the courts with right wing extremists often with no qualifications for the bench. If they succede these abuses will happen more and more.
    14
  2923. Well done sir..
    14
  2924. One tiny nitpick: I feel like maybe the eco-terrorism in the 70's shouldn't be equivocated with fascist terrorism now. People did eco terrorism far softer and with the intention to do something against climate change, fascists and racists on the other hand literally do theirs to murder people for who they are biologically.
    14
  2925. Great job Dave. I have been disappointed in the CBC as of late. On the BC fires and Ontario floods with out a mention tying it to climate change. In regards to min wage I see reporters out in the field interviewing small business owners or min wage workers. The owners say they have to do lay offs. The min wage worker says, well costs will go up so its a push. Never is there an economist or journo doing what you just did. Look at the numbers. Min wage has been increased a million times in a million jurisdictions. There is so much data out there but lets interview the min wage worker and see what they have to say about macroeconomics. Oh ! but wait!!!!! a protest at timmies...lets get resources on the ground at the location.....drama!!! Ratings!!!! yay!!!!....so American it hurts.
    14
  2926. Great video David. It's policies that should run the campaigns, and that is what Jeremy Corbyn has done here in the UK, with the Momentum movement. We still have too many establishment types, but it's happening, slowly..
    14
  2927. I get KOMO news from Washington here in Canada, I have already complained to my cable provider SHAW here in Canada about this propaganda outlet. I understand some media outlets will have a political bias, it's been going on since I was a kid in the 80's and it'll take a better generation than any previous to change that (I have high hopes for this one), but this is outright propaganda and it does not to my mind reflect the values of the Canadian people.
    14
  2928. As far as what happens when someone on the left does something like this, I have two words: John Edwards.
    14
  2929. Thanks for doing this David, thanks from south of Italy, thanks from a Napoli supporter.
    14
  2930. The GOP are fucking horrible. Corporate Dems no better, but DAMN, the Republicans are MONSTERS.
    14
  2931. Thank you for the video, just for those 11mins and 42 secs. I envisioned what it would be like to have Universal Healthcare here in the USA, then I woke up...
    14
  2932. Great analysis, some interesting thoughts on top of a really entertaining debate ā€“ I disagree in regards to him using the racially charged phrase 'mean mad white man' though, precisely because it played such a large role in exposing Jordan Peterson's fragility. I hear what you're saying about treading on egg shells a little more when the audience is so sensitive about particular ideas and language, but the heated exchange which that phrase provoked and Peterson's retreat into being offended by his use of language exposed his hypocrisy and in fact, his white privilege and uncomfortableness with it, brilliantly. For me it was a master stroke in the debate and allowed Dyson to make a series of great points whilst Peterson squirmed. Not something most people are used to seeing as he usually controls conversations so well. He may have turned many off in the moment and he obviously lost the vote at the end, but I thought it was a really clever move that longer term will prove powerful in this on going debate. Nice video, just subscribed.
    14
  2933. Jordan Peterson is eloquent and exhudes a certain charm that many of his young followers find very attactive. However, behind that layer, deep down, there is an intolerance and hatred that he rationalizes to himself and others as a righteous struggle against evil forces that would corrupt, enslave and destroy civilization, namely, Marxism and Postmodernism. However, he refuses to understand that Marxism and Postmodernism are complex, diverse historical movements in which many of their major thinkers often disagree with each other. He is very skillful at using logical fallacies, like strawman, false cause, red herring and unwarranted generalization. He seems to be almost a cult figure as exemplified by the vitriol that many of his followers throw at anyone who has the temerity to say anything critical of him. I wonder how many of his followers have read Karl Marx, Rosa Luxemburg, Antonio Gramsci, Theodor Adorno, Herbert Marcuse, Max Horkheimer, etc. Or when it comes to Postmodernism, how many of his followers have read Jaques Derrida, Michel Foucault, Jean Baudrillard, etc.? And not just read, but how many have honestly, with an open mind, tried to understand what these thinkers said? It's a lot easier to read some quick Wikipedia summaries and to believe that one has understood those thinkers, and then to believe Jordan Peterson's interpretation. What I find most disturbing in Jordan Peterson is his desire or need to impose on his students his own distorted interpretations. Sure, there is much to criticize in Marxism, Postmodernism and in what goes on in the culture today, but to demonize Marxism and Post-modernism and to want others to accept that demonization is not what an open minded, responsible educator does.
    14
  2934. Another sellout corporate Democrat that wants to appeal to the moderate base in the Republican Party. turn his back on the left Progressive wing of the Democratic Party. Ask Hillary Clinton how that strategy work for her. These Democrats care about one thing and that's corporations and rich people. we can all owe that to Bill Clinton because he turned the Democratic party into a party that sought all out the rich corporate interest and the elite billionaire donors to replace unions and workers as a source of money. They sold the Democratic Party to the rich people for price. Give us your billions and will do your bidding. to hell with the unions and The Working Man. All of the policies coming out of Clinton's Administration and Obama's administration have benefited for the larger degree the rich and the corporations. they refused hold the rich, Banks, and their corporations accountable for the crimes and in justices that they've done. they refused to free the American public from the grip of the military industrial complex that fills the coffers of these rich people and their corporations. NAFTA was a giveaway to the rich. The Affordable Care Act was a giveaway to the rich to the insurance companies. Obama made the Bush tax cuts permanent another big plus for the rich. Clinton deregulated the financial sector another big win for the rich. Bill Clinton decimated welfare. Obama didn't end the never ending wars in the Middle East that keep sucking money out government Treasury because these puppets are handpicked and groomed by the rich to deceive us that we are living in a democracy. They talk all these Grand lofty leftist ideals. They know the language well but they also know how to sell you on the line that my hands were tied. I had to reach across the aisle. better yet with Obama ,the obstruction argument, but Republicans could not obstruct him the first two years he had total control. neither bill or obama did anything to do away with right to work laws, which would be a big boost to unions. Neither bill or obama bring the minimum wage up to what it truly should be which is right around $21 an hour. Neither one of them did anything to fight the prison industrial complex that the rich and EnRich themselves off of. Bill Clinton's crime bill only made the prison industrial complex more potent. Obama didn't hold any of the bankers that caused the crash in 2008 accountable. Not a single CEO went to jail for all of the financial destruction they sowed. People lost their jobs. People lost their savings. People lost their homes. People lost their 401K retirement. some people lost their lives because they couldn't take the fact that he lost everything. some people committed suicide. some people lost all of the above, But the fat cats on Wall Street got richer and so has Obama. Obama has collected I think about $120 million dollars from the bankers since he left office. It's his back pay. The same way the clintons have collected their back pay for their faithful service to the rich and their corporations and Banks. Hope we can believe in? NOPE! Obama took hope and turned us all into DOPES. You can't even get them to stand for the fight for $15 min wage. However now that there's a Republican president and everything is controlled by Republicans they will pound their chest and make all these GRANDIOSE Progressive demands because they know they don't have the power to do it. if they ever do happen to get the power, they will be doing the same thing the Republicans are doing now with what they promised their base. They will be reneging and lying and backtracking and saying we can't do it. we don't really know what to do with how to start it or we don't have a plan to get it started. It is all an elaborate con game.
    14
  2935. It's terrible that the PCs won, but the NDPs are now one step closer to taking the province. If the Liberals fail to regroup for the next election, and the Conservatives turn out to be the gong show they appear to be, the NDP will take the province.
    14
  2936. "non traditional feelings of empathy" Perfect line! David you're so good at breaking things down, and always informative.
    14
  2937. Loved your high voice mime of crybaby Peterson.. perfect!
    14
  2938. Democrat shills need to take several seats. Bernie has been doing this for 3 years now. Also DNC hack donā€™t really give a shit about Abrams. Where were they when Stacey Abrams was running in the primaries when they were rooting AGAINST her?! You know who did endorse her? Bernie Sanders.
    14
  2939. Jordan P. I watch TYT on a pretty regular basis. Kasparian is on the level. I also never saw Sanders being duped, as you describe, at all. Sanders is not the least bit bull witted to buy into establishment Democratic nonsense. Neither is Kasparian. She held her ground in her debate with Anna Coulter , and then some. She is an entirely viable candidate, against Feinstien. I like Kulinski, Doel, and Figuero as well, buuuuut neither of them has talked about running for any form of office, that I am aware of. Even if they did, Kasparian has a more recognized face than any of them, and more to the point, she is strong willed and sharp as a tack... if you have seen her in serious debates with Coulter and other conservatives, about 2 months back....you'd be eating your words , brother šŸ˜‰šŸ˜Š
    14
  2940. I would absolutely love to hear more about canadian politics from you!
    14
  2941. Hey David, I tagged you in this clip on my Twitter post. No shout out with the 'like' or retweet, but you are using my edit. C'mon man.
    14
  2942. I don't like very many videos... But seeing as triggered people are voting this video down, I had to. Pathetic world. We talk about reality so obviously it's "race baiting".
    14
  2943. LOL The look on your face when Kasich said what he did at the end. Ā Every POTUS invoking their god has gone on to rain down bombs on humanity killing tons life and creating tens of thousands ofĀ refugees. I don't want these types of politicians to stop using those statements. Ā It helps to easily identify them. Ā We should, as an exercise, go back to the 80s and 90s to see was and voted against all of the deregulation which happened under Reagan, Bush(41), and Clinton.
    14
  2944. Thank YOU for sharing your views on Russell Brand and his refusal to allow Bill Maher to shut him up when he was explaining why Hillary was not necessarily a good - or lesser of two evils - candidate! To date, Russell Brand is the ONLY person who has been able to complete his entire (progressive) viewpoint, as a guest on Real Time with Bill Maher! I had been waiting for a long time for someone like Russell Brand - or anyone - to NOT allow Bill Maher to interrupt him as soon as Maher might object to what they were saying. Bill Maher's handling of Dr. Cornell West was beyond reprehensible and extremely rude! It took someone like Russell Brand to plow through Maher's attempts to shut him up and complete his Progressive talking points. BTW - Has anyone else seen the Morning Joe show when Russell Brand literally had Mika stuttering and searching for words? It was a rare sight to behold! And Brand did not do anything nasty or unprofessional. He simply pointed out the obvious!
    14
  2945. It's ironic that Peterson was on the side of the anti-pc debate, yet spent a lot of the debate being offended at being labeled as white male and arguing that Dyson was making assumptions about him based on his race and his position of privilege while using mean words. All the while claiming; "I'm not hurt, I'm not offended".... Yeah, they can't see how they are the exact thing they claim to be against; sensitive, snowflake, PC SJWs.
    14
  2946. The story got about as much coverage, as Bernie Sanders did in the primaries.
    14
  2947. Cool video, great point about WHO we should be voting into power.
    14
  2948. I had the same thoughts while watching Morning Joe this morning. Cenk and Bashir were awesome.
    14
  2949. As a progressive US citizen, I truly appreciate having this information. The Canadian struggle shows us exactly what we're facing and how to win. You really provided a great service. The Rational National is quickly becoming one of my favorite YouTube channels.
    14
  2950. Government standing up to corporations? Wow! Way to go NYC!
    14
  2951. This is state-sponsored genocide, folks.
    14
  2952. David you can give me CPR anytime you want to. Also good video. Rick Santorum is literally one of the worst republicans in the country atm. I remember back in 2012 he wanted to ban pornography. I'm also really tired of CNN's neutrality bias. Rick is just wrong, objectively, but CNN makes it look like his position has the same weight as those who are trying to actually do something about this. It's frustrating.
    14
  2953. Mindfucked.
    14
  2954. My exact reaction, lol. Mmmmhhhmm...
    14
  2955. It's his only chance to win, and people are being disingenuous if they deny that. You want third parties to be politically viable candidates? Me too. We need electoral reform for that first. The Democratic Party sucks, yeah. It really does. But if you're asking the best hope for progressive policy in the US to run as an independent, then you're asking him to lose and you're asking for Republicans to win. That's just the horrible reality of the system. If you're serious about third parties and independents, then you should be pushing for electoral reform. I put that issue right there with campaign finance reform as the two most-needed changes to US politics. I know it's not what people want to hear. But you have to separate your anger for the Democratic party from what is actually politically viable. And also do try to remember all the amazing and inspiring people who run as Democrats on the local level. Not everyone is Chuck and Nancy.
    14
  2956. So does he have a replacement for "group rights" or is he going to suggest something is a problem without actually coming up with a solution? Also if you don't want group right then apply absolute equality for everyone. David explained it perfectly and very reasonably I am still going to wait for the Peterson zombies to jump in here whining and bitching.
    14
  2957. I am so proud! Can we pause and just appreciate that a 75-year-old self-described socialist independent from Vermont has achieved rockstar status? This is what I'm talking about! He is the most important political figure in America since MLK.
    14
  2958. we are sick of the rich running this country in the ground. and laws being made based on racist old white men and women
    13
  2959. What a great analysis. That's why I just subscribed.
    13
  2960. I find it so absurd when twisted pseudo-arguments about race are used against left-wing economic policies. The only way this could make sense was if everyone who was not white was very rich end therefore the only people who could care about issues like inequality and minimum wage were white people.
    13
  2961. Once again, David, you are Spot On! No matter what is on Hillary's mind, concerning her decision in the mid-terms, it would certainly be counterproductiveĀ to anything labeled as progressive. By the way, have you noticed, and correct me if I am wrong, there seems to be a blackout of anythingĀ progressive in the media? Trump and his administration seem to be sucking the air out of any and all that has a potential for good.
    13
  2962. Ben is a moron honestly, and that health insurance quip about needing to be a doctor was great given Ben's arguments against single payer. I personally refer to him as Ben the Strawman Shapiro.
    13
  2963. It's rarely a problem when a republican does it. But if a liberal does it, they get impeached. The contrast is amazing though, considering how the right in America tend to be the most religious people. But when it comes to republican candidates or figures, all they have to do is hold a Bible or quote one scripture and these people become absolutely untouchable in their eyes. Just look at Roy Moore. But then again, all you have to ask is what if Obama... and you'd see the double standard in full display. Imagine if she said he was horrible in bed- it's a libel suit waiting to happen for her. Then we'd be subjected to how great he is in bed from him constantly, and you'll get random women saying the same thing. So I'm sure she said that to prevent a libel suit or any sort of backlash.
    13
  2964. Scheer can't actually name any alleged attacks on free speech because by doing so he would invoke the far right crazies that made the accusations and thus tar himself by association. That is the painful balancing act the CPC has been trying to walk since the last election - pretending to be moderate while relying on an increasingly immoderate base. Harper was able to hold that balance (until he started pandering to bigots himself in the last election) but Scheer is in way over his head.
    13
  2965. great report on this strike in W Virginia David!
    13
  2966. Thank you David for your very passionate coverage of this issue!!!
    13
  2967. Thanks for this video David. You popped up in my recommended, disappointed I didn't know of you before. I subscribed, keep up the great work. I've had the issue of trying to argue with Clinton supporters but it seems they're allergic to facts and make up facts of their own.
    13
  2968. Owing a gun in Canada is a responsibility, not a right. The idea that an semi automatic gun against the American military that has more funding that is greater than the next 8 top nations combined is ridiculous. It may have been possible in 1700ā€™s, however, the passage of time gives a clear perspective of how limited this amendment really is. How about starting with a solution that a majority of Americans want: universal background checks over the entire nation. The congress needs to have representatives that will pass this legislation, so go and elect people that follow the peopleā€™s will. Removing gun show loop holes, and then that legally selling an automatic weapon in a parking lot person to person. There are so many easy solutions that America could take but hasnā€™t, I am hopeful that a change is coming soon. It truly depends on a cultural shift to make the change and after a constant barrage of mass slaughters at an ever increase rate, people are edging towards some effort at sanity. And to be clear, America does not have sane gun laws, none really. Unless restrictions, yes restrictions and limits, are made at a nationally level, you might as well be whistling in the wind.
    13
  2969. I love Iceland! #bluelagoon
    13
  2970. I've never seen someone break down so much in a debate. Peterson can't handle reality so he has to create an emotional safe space for his hysteria.
    13
  2971. I think this kind of rage is what happens when a whole generation has been sheltered in safe spaces from reality. I guess the theory back when they were kids was that if they were treated oh so gently they would grow to be loving and kind. I guess that one is blowing up big time in the country's face. We who watched helplessly used to hope and pray when these kids eventually did have to face reality they would grow-up fast, instead they regressed into infancy.
    13
  2972. rappers with political consciousness are part of why i love hip hop. killer mike is another hip hop bernie supporter who has an awesome political message in his rap. his track 'reagan' is a blistering neoliberal take down of the past forty years that samples a reagan speech about the iran contra affair...classic political hip hop at it's finest. the political has been part of hip hop from it's beginning as a genre. not surprising that cardi b is open about her political views. all good rappers are. bernie's shout out to cardi b is great; maybe bernie has been stumping with killer mike again hehehe
    13
  2973. my fav vid of you so far, will become a patreon in the new year

  2974. this is entertaining. . .yet sad. the grown-ups are playing kids again - taking no responsibly for their actions

  2975. Happy Canadian thanksgiving.

  2976. She should spend her Christmas sofa surfing, in hostels, b&b's a d refuge's then say again how homelessness implies living on the streets.

  2977. right wingers think you say the word, "hamas" then the debate is over. its a buzz word for conservatards and msnbc too apparently
    13
  2978. I actually appreciate you discussing this. For me, it has never been unclear or doubtful how worthless, awkward, and sometimes even nefarious Ingram's show can be (from the clips I've seen on those covering her). This CLEARLY demonstrates the sheer, well, stupidity of the dynamics (and, as you shared, strategies) of these people. BTW ,Can't thank you enough for your fresh, honest, and brave perspectives. Deeply grateful for you.
    13
  2979. I love your direct honesty
    13
  2980. Thanks for the research David. I'm ashamed to say i always fawn over his charts on morning Joe. I cant believe he's practically a criminal. Shame.
    13
  2981. Smart approach man, well done on the video, I'm subscribing.
    13
  2982. Jordan Peterson is a freak of nature that somehow has convinced men in a life-crisis that the solution is to hate on trans people and immigrants.
    13
  2983. This young man David Hogg is the voice of reason. Amazingly brave and presenting calm facts too.
    13
  2984. I really appreciate your last comment there, anyone watching any videos should 100% then go and research themselves, hell you should just apply that to your life researching subjects for yourself is a critical skill
    13
  2985. Ha! Your Bernie Sanders impression cracked me up lol Great video. I agree with all your points. Hillary is still trying to blame others for her loss and doesn't accept any responsibility whatsoever. That is a quality of a narcissist. She needs to get her head out of her ass already. I'm sick and tired of her yapping about this shit. She needs to put on her big girl panties (or granny panties. whichever) and move on.

  2986. greed greed greed,,,they pay them low wage they work hard and this is the thanks they give the workers that make the money for them
    13
  2987. My comments on these issues: 1. Colin Kaepernick demonstrated for the purpose of improving this country. Mind you, the NFL owners were eager to welcome Michael Vick,who actually killed dogs. This is an indication of what greedy scum the owners, and others on the same page, are. (I anticipate that some will need to hear this -- I'm a two-Purple Heart vet. We do not expect more of a voice than anybody else.) 2. I do not trust Elizabeth Warren, but I don't think she is a neo-liberal. I have vowed that I will never vote for a neo-lib again, only because she is lesser of two evils. I did for HIllary, but that was the last. 3. This whole neo-lib disaster that we live through is really a synonym for the reagan Revolution. We need to realize that, and we need to realize that reagan must be discredited so that we can destroy the paradigm that it instituted, and which has prevailed in this country and the rest of the world since 1981.
    13
  2988. Sigh: Biden and Trump are both trapped in 1980. Biden has done good work, but I blame him for the Bankruptcy Act of 2005 that protects college loans from bankruptcy, and he protected Clarence Thomas from other accusers. šŸŽ­
    13
  2989. The right has unfortunately succeeded in muddying the waters on this topic. They want to use "free speech" as a shield against the fact their views have become socially distasteful and lament the days when they could be proud bigots and not have to pay the consequence of public ridicule. They have free speech, but free speech also means others can let me know what they think of their views, including by protesting. Free speech does not equal safe spaces for racists
    13
  2990. Even if there were 60,000 jobs "lost" due to minimum wage increases (and not in fact 60,000 fewer jobs created out of 400,000+ projected new jobs), the minimum wage increase still might be a good thing, all factors considered. If fewer people need to work two or more jobs just to make ends meet, then it'll be easier for the remaining unemployed workforce to find one available job for themselves.
    13
  2991. I just found your channel from someone on the Jimmy Dore Show...glad he mention you. Keep the good work..
    13
  2992. Wow logical and to the point you just won my subscription
    13
  2993. Thanks for the rational view on this.
    13
  2994. 100% agreement with your take on this. Like you said, the problem isn't that people like Chomsky signed this - the problem is that people like JK Rowling did. Clearly they're coming at the issue from very different angles.
    13
  2995. Lmfao that impression though. šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚
    13
  2996. Wow, that stat about Clinton to McCain voters is really interesting. When people hate on bernie supporters, that is a good stat to throw in their face....only half the amount of Bernie supporters voted for trump than Clinton voters voted for McCain. Hindsight is 2020 y'all.
    13
  2997. Again, excellent, clear and concise presentation of the facts. I value your commentary, for it's lack of emotive dramatisation, whilst offering intelligent instruction of fact. Bravo David. Thanks from the Aussie who is learning World truths.

  2998. itsinmyvein - I'm having a lot of trouble understanding what you're saying in your post. At one point, you characterize different races as being different species. And you describe them as not being able to or not wanting to reproduce together. Neanderthals were a separate and distinct species from homo sapiens sapiens, but the two groups reproduced together. Not only that, they produced viable offspring, and there are many homo sapiens sapiens living today with Neanderthal genes. Then you started speaking of North Koreans being a separate and distinct race. There has only been a separation between North Korea and South Korea since 1945. My father is older than that. No new "race" was produced by making a geopolitical boundary 73 years ago. And then you claimed that Native Americans were a separate and distinct race, when they actually descended from populations in Asia and share many of the same genetic traits with those populations today. There was no genetic analysis, when Europeans first arrived that demonstrated that Native Americans were a separate and distinct race. I'm not sure why you identified yourself as a student of behavioral biology, either. If you understand the scientific method, you should know that it doesn't use appeals to authority. And, by your own claim, you're just a student anyway. And behavioral biology isn't the same thing as studying the genetic traits of various populations of humans (although, maybe you had some course that you think informs your positions). I could post sources to support my previous post, but that's not the subject of this video. In addition, I really don't care to fight that fight. Almost everyone has been socialized to believe that there are separate and distinct races of humans. To many people, it's a significant part of their sense of self. They want to believe that there are separate and distinct races of humans. And there is even a lot of race-based scientific research because almost all scientists have been socialized to believe that there are separate and distinct races of humans and there is a good deal of funding for such research. But none of it is scientifically valid because none of it uses discrete samples.
    13
  2999. Sorry Ben, facts don't care about your feelings. It's so revealing he's paid by the NRA and will do anything to sell out. Thank you for exposing this fraud that is really against students free speech.
    13
  3000. Iā€™m actually glad you donā€™t address Timmy, youā€™re a smart dude who doesnā€™t need to lower your content to address that idiot. I also agree with you 100% that sheā€™s just playing a character and chooses her selective outrage based on what her bosses at Faux News will get ratings. Sheā€™s essentially there to give old men boners.
    13
  3001. Well said! Thank you šŸ˜€ now subscribing!

  3002. this is why progressives have to be active in politics. is booker controlled by his donors yes but he also can be controlled thru the power of public opinion and progressives making their voices heard. booker, gilibrand and harris all in their own way shifted to the left mostly in rhetoric but also in some of their positions. Phone them, write emails, go to the townhalls and ask questions
    13
  3003. Thank you for the great video. So important to point out the faux progressives who rely on the base to get elected, then stab them in the back. Especially on environmental/wildlife issues. We can fix mistakes in many other policies- but this is one area in which they cannot be undone. This is a major issue both in Canada and the States...and around the world.
    13
  3004. Who let this man be the leader f his party again?
    13
  3005. Wow why doesn't Barbara Lee get the same hype from MSM similar to Kamala Harris?
    13
  3006. Jesus, Hillary's loss really has revealed the nutty side of the Democrats, who often bought into the corporatism.
    13
  3007. You were great on tyt btw
    13
  3008. I am an Independent and look into individuals as you mentioned needs to be done. Because I did look into Trump as a candidate, I did not vote for him. On the other hand, because I looked into Bernie Sanders, I would have voted for him. It is clear Bernie Sanders is the top man to run against Trump in 2020. And one of the reasons people who are listed as Independent voter's do not vote for an Independent candidate is fear their vote will be wasted. Look into it.
    13
  3009. I agree with the guy below, keep it up, yours and other voices from the progressive left are very much needed and indeed vital at the moment. The more poeple who can wake up and see whats happening the better of most of us will be.
    13
  3010. yeah , lots of people in america fell for that 'cut taxes 'headline .
    13
  3011. Learn from America don't elect a Trump like figure.
    13
  3012. Too many people believe that doctors' prescribe medications honestly! That cannot be further from the truth. Most doctors' have no idea what they're prescribing - they get their information from drug company representatives. The drug company reps are trained by the drug companies who want to sell the public as many meds as possible. I have been harmed by BIG PHARMA. Do people have any idea what over-prescribing medications has done to the opioid and benzodiazepine epidemic? NEVER take a prescription without researching what the medication does - is really intended for - and how to safely stop taking that medication. Doctors' are not that informed. BEWARE.....
    13
  3013. Thankfully he lost tonight. And they are now saying the Rethuglicans are now in an open civil war.
    13
  3014. I think one thing that people need to keep in mind about the counter protesters is that if they did get violent was that violence validated based off of self defense? Anyone who is on the side of "defending" the white supremacists never think about or address that as a possibility. Based on what's been seen I imagine that if I see a bunch of white people with torches, shields, bats, and firearms my first thought is that someone is going to get hurt. In addition them chanting anti semitic and homophobic things I imagine that anyone who is not white who opposes them will be met with the end of a bat or be on the wrong side of the gun. I just can't believe that our way of thinking is off so much that we today in 2017 have to deal with rallies of white supremacists, and the potential of others dying. Meanwhile some mainstream news outlets throw open the possible debate on whether or not this is an act of terror or not, when it as a fact indeed was terrorism. We need the right kind of change fast.
    13
  3015. Quality report David. Love your work, keep it up!
    13
  3016. I love how the whole book (judging by the leaks) is lies and excuses, but the cover inadvertently tells the truth: What Happened? Hillary Rodham Clinton.
    13
  3017. Anytime black people like anything that thing must be attacked. But not because of racism....no! Racism is a myth, dont you know? The dog whistles are getting ridiculous.
    13
  3018. David, love your. Show. People stay in the Democratic Party because, unfortunately, they canā€™t vote in the primary where the candidate is chosen NY would have gone for Bernie if some republicans could have voted for a democrat. Itā€™s very frustrating , but this is the only reason I stay with the party. Iā€™m hoping there are progressive candidates to choose from. If we could get rid of closed primaries it would be a huge step for democracy...along with the electoral college & ā€˜superā€™ delicates
    13
  3019. Jesus.... THEY ARE THE CENTER!!!!!
    13
  3020. Great video David!
    13
  3021. I could never vote for Trudeau or support Neoliberals again. I'll keep voting for progressives, NDP, greens and your channel! Thanks for your work!
    13
  3022. In Swiss papers they covered this tragedy and the Waffle House tragedies in a very subdued manner. I have an interesting theory. Could it be that both tragedies were committed by white males? There was no mention in any story that this was "TERRORISM". In fact, there was a car attack in Germany and they said several times in the story "This is not terrorism!". I can see that they cannot sell their brand if it is not a brown middle eastern perp. Switzerland and European media is supporting the War Machine. Dave, this was a good post, which shows that you are very Rational. It is nice to seeing that you live up to your name.
    13
  3023. I love the show so far almost 1/4 through. I hope this works out for you, youā€™re my favourite source of news in Canada.
    13
  3024. You gained a new follower. Love your content.
    13
  3025. The fact that so many voters seem prepared to sign a blank cheque over to a bunch of politicians is tragicomedy at its finest. It isn't just Doug Ford who doesn't have a platform, it's the whole PC party. The only way he would become premier is if Ontario voters elect enough of their candidates. They, not just him, would form government. Hopefully some of them would know how bills become laws, so that the "endless bills" he promised wouldn't be literally true. Good grief.
    13
  3026. This is one of my fav videos. Facts. Figures. Chart. You're like the Steve Ratner of youtube (even tho he's a douche)
    13
  3027. Great video! Thank you šŸ¤—
    13
  3028. Oh my god Barbara Lee would be perfect. <3 Why doesn't she run for president in 2020??
    13
  3029. So you are Canadian? No wonder I like you, and the way you think! :)
    12
  3030. I totally agree with you, Mr National. I think the reason why this journalist thought she had Jeremy over a barrel is because in 1984 (when I was 15šŸ˜ÆšŸ˜Æ) the Northern Ireland peace talks were in complete disarray. Jeremy C had a large hand in negotiating the deal that eventually brought about peace. It was pure shit stirring on Sky's part, which is why I will not buy into their TV subscription service. Not only is it shit stirring, but it goes to show that there are no depths to which Murdoch's henchmen will stoop, no one's sensitivities they care about. It wouldn't matter to them if - as a result of their shit-stirring - troubles in N.I. Started again. As long as they could point their finger at the person they were attempting to destroy. If anything, I think Rational National does Sky News a favour by insinuating that one interviewer was at fault. It was the whole network, that's been out to destroy Jeremy Corbyn ever since he gained a position of power within the Labour Party. He is dangerous to Sky, because,it's largely owned by Rupert Murdoch who stands to have a much higher tax bill should Labour under JC ever take power. Tony Blair, the last labour leader who won an election here, was more right wing than even Margaret Thatcher was totally bought out by Murdoch - you scratch my back and I'll make sure my newspaper group will cover you favourably. Corbyn has more scruples than that. The fact that Sky won't ever come outright and ask, "Why do you want to raise taxes for the super-rich, thereby depriving Rupert Murdoch, our boss, of a few quid?" shows that they know how incorrect the question is. So they try to find something else to string him up with. It makes my blood boil.
    12
  3031. I don't watch MSNBC, but I wouldn't mind seeing close-up shots of your mug more often.
    12
  3032. Good job on this video. I just found you today, subscribed right away. Your rants are great! Up there with Cenk and Jimmy Dore in my opinion. Continue the good fight.
    12
  3033. Love Nina tell it like it is!! Not everyone can handle real shit.
    12
  3034. Just got turned on to David about a month ago. Now part of my regular viewing list of Lee Camp, Jimmy Dore, Kyle Kulinski, Tim Black, and, of course, Mike Figueredo. Thanks. You cannot realize how important what you all are doing actually is.
    12
  3035. Great video that is very insightful.
    12
  3036. Fantastic segment, Mr.Doel. Cheers --
    12
  3037. For me it really hit me how far right the Israeli Government truely is when Netanyahu supported Trump pulling out of the Iran Deal. I know, very late to the game a lot of you think I am, but much better late than never in a lot of cases, especially this one.
    12
  3038. Ā Susan MartinĀ  The billionaires have been shipping our jobs overseas and they want to automate what's left.
    12
  3039. For anyone who is misconstruing David, he say ā€œuses unverified speculation as the basis for his Hunter/Joe Biden storyā€, obvi hes saying the spark of interest for even starting down the road, not that the guy doesnā€™t have facts-David said all that in the video. I think it is very courageous for David to have used this as a time to evaluate his own method and purpose and he put a journalists perspective out there for us to see from different intentions. Really honest, takes a lot to take about yourself like that on this platform. Good job, keep bringing us more to think about David!!
    12
  3040. I'm not usually one to defend Obama, but it's customary for the president to allow the opposing party to submit candidates for his or her approval. So, he bears responsibility for approving Pai, but not choosing him.
    12
  3041. Wow thank you. Now i have concrete data to drag any fool that blames Bernie for our current Trump infliction
    12
  3042. Iā€™ve said it before, Iā€™ll say it again: Never trust doughy white guys in expensive suits.
    12
  3043. That thumbnail! šŸ¤£šŸ¤£
    12
  3044. "...they can't control the narrative anymore, because they are now realizing 'Oh my god, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was able to beat Joe Crowley, an establishment Democrat, even though she was outspent 10-to-1. That means the money can no longer completely control politics as it once did.' And they're scared shitless. And you know what? They should be." Beautiful (12:10)
    12
  3045. She did just vote to raise military spending
    12
  3046. David, thank you for this video. Millions need to see it.
    12
  3047. You nailed it on the head. Our system is designed for the wealthy. I work with international students and I tell people all the time that Canada and the US are not in the business of opening up their doors to poor people from other countries. Canada and the US will take you if you have something to offer, a skill, a business venture, some special talent, etc. And as for international students, you can ONLY attend university in Canada and the US if you can prove that you can cover your expenses and you must SHOW that you have the money in the bank ready to go in order to attend. If this student had to work more than 20 hours a week, it means he really struggled to be in Canada financially and he really could not afford university here, so Canada let him go on a technicality. They (Canadian government) did nothing legally wrong, but they just proved that you need money to be there and they are not really looking to take on people that need financial help.
    12
  3048. It wouldn't be so offensive if Biden wasn't part of the Democratic Party leadership that has been instrumental in creating the problems that the USA and the world is facing now. He is also clearly living in the memory of past accomplishments, which in reality was a set of false accomplishments that did not achieve nearly as much as Biden and others like him want to believe. I'm a Baby Boomer. I lived through what Biden lived through. I've spent much of my life opposing the kinds of damaging policies that Biden and other corporate owned establishment political leaders from both the major parties have been forcing on to the country and the population. As a father of a millennial and a just post millennial, I don't need stats to know how difficult things are for millennials as a group. Biden should take his opinions and stuff them.
    12
  3049. Susan Sarandon is the real victim of sexism, of what happens to a smart woman who has her own opinion and doesnt go with the herd. She gets shunned and ripped to shreds by other women. Men arent the enemies.
    12
  3050. Thank you for covering this side of the topic. We need commentary like this
    12
  3051. I just assume that the heads of MSNBC threatened Joe and Mika about talking against the Establishment talking points.
    12
  3052. Wilson Patterson Using Nazi as a boogieman? THEY HAD NAZI FLAGS, you thought that they were doing it as a prank? I said that I support their right to have their protest NONVIOLENTLY even though I don't agree with it, anyone who says other wise is not for the first amendment.I'm just saying that, I don't have to support what they are protesting for and I have the right to criticize and outright show no respect for those opinions because they aren't respectable. As a 19 year old black male, both the confederate flag and the Nazi flag mean very negative things and has been used to inflict harm in people like me and other minorities. Also, for the last time, THE DEMOCRATS DIDNT START THE KKK. The democrats and republicans switched during the civil rights era because the "Dixiecrats" didn't like LBJ giving black people civil rights and he republicans were using the southern strategy to lure those people to heir party. That is a fact whether you want to believe it or not.
    12
  3053. God, saying the Nazis were somehow leftists is just ridiculous, and it seems to be the new talking point for the right. Just because it has the word "socialism" in the name, does not make it socialist or leftist for that matter. Back in the 20's, Socialism was very popular in Europe. Many groups that weren't anything near socialist used the term because it was so popular, and made it seem like it was on the side of workers. The National Socialist party might have been somewhat leftist in it's formation (before Hitler), but even that is a stretch. When Hitler joined and was proclaimed the leader of the party, it took a hard turn towards the right. Hitler basically changed the party in order to attract hardliner conservatives who were afraid of a communist uprising, which helped the party rise to prominence. So, no, it was a right-wing party. These kinds of things happen all the time, for example, after WW2, the word "Democratic" became very popular. Hence, you have North Korea being called the "Democratic People's Republic of Korea", even though they are nowhere close to a democracy. And that is not the only modern example. Why don't you guys just admit the nazis were right-wing? It actually does not de-legitimize modern conservatism at all. I'm on the left, and I admit that communism was leftist, and it was a horrible system, but that doesn't mean EVERYTHING on the left is wrong.
    12
  3054. I wish it was mentioned how David Wright was suspended and demoted from ABC News for admitting he was a socialist in what he thought was a private conversation in February 2020. Like a lefty was cancelled just for being a lefty, not for even giving their opinion And this was THIS YEAR.
    12
  3055. I am from Italy and with 47.000 $ (I assume net salary) you could live a good life here, and believe me, Italy is not cheap. So, at first, I thought that it was not so bad after all. But then I thought: oh, they have to pay for healthcare, oh maybe their Universities are expensive, and they probably have to pay something for their pension from that money. Well, in that case, I guess it's bad.
    12
  3056. How many fake account are in this crazy comment section???:-D There is no chance, that too many people are so blind, and brainwashed:-D
    12
  3057. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WGpcsYr-mOU Here is Ben saying you don't need a degree to be an authority. Like how many levels of hypocrite can Ben get on before he is realised as a hack?
    12
  3058. MSNBC sucks... Sam is better off on his own... Ultimately he will have more credibility being independent... Anyone who is paying attention knows independent online sources is where we are all going
    12
  3059. Brilliant exposition, David, of the effects of this corporatized pharma cartel. I'd like to see some real development of worker coops in pharmacology, and maybe we could see some means of communicating how to get the public interest to prevail in this area, on World Health Day, April 8.
    12
  3060. Hate speech is not protected by the 1st Amendment. I understand the point that Michael Tracey is trying to convey. However, these very people who he is defending are the same people who would highly support firing people based of of race, religion, and sexual orientation. Further more, these people through their very own rhetoric promote violence against "others" who will then be representing your business. An rational employer in seeing this would realize that not only do they give their business a bad name, but they may also be a threat to their business, other employees, and their customers. <- that is bad for business and society.
    12
  3061. Alan W Yeah I enjoyed Samantha Bee too for a bit. She had some fresh points at first, and every now and then still does, but then the damn hit pieces on 3rd party candidates, followed by their favorite tagline "Damn BernieBros". Then she smeared Jill Stein when she went to support the protesters at the Dakota Pipeline and spray-painted on the bulldozer, and just called what STEIN did a crime, without even mentioning why Stein was even there in the first place, or even talking about DAPL.
    12
  3062. David, I'm really liking your Canadian political coverage and analysis and I would love to hear what your thoughts are on the current spat between BC and Alberta. My position is that I am grateful that John Horgan is showing courage and leadership in defending the BC coastline against what we KNOW will be a leaky pipeline and the fact that our local orca population is stressed enough with current tanker traffic.
    12
  3063. The Republicans are going to attack you no matter what. If they're not attacking you, you're almost certainly doing something wrong.
    12
  3064. Poor poor Americans have only accumulated over half the world's welth., And have five percent of the world population.. poor poor Americans.
    12
  3065. I hope you young people know that the work you are doing is so very important. We need to get rid of all these old cronies from a long ago time and replace them with younger people.
    12
  3066. You do a great service with ACTUAL journalism. Love your work, sir. Keep it up
    12
  3067. All the right wing can do is lie, smear and use propaganda to attack since their policies and ideologies suck.
    12
  3068. one more thing. doug ford is the smarter brother, and he's stupid. imagine how dumb rob really was
    12
  3069. Jordan Peterson; "would you tax my white privilege?"... No, what a stupid and loaded question! What the reasonable left wants is equal opportunity. But simply giving equal opportunity by eliminating racial discrimination and bias doesn't magically solve the problem. It's systemic, the entire social and economic structure needs ground up reforms and time to reach a position of equal opportunity, starting with education funding, a proper social safety-net and police and criminal justice reform... No one is wanting to take anything from you, no one (except the extreme SJWs) is expecting equal outcomes in spite of equality.
    12
  3070. Weirdly, Bernie not dwelling on how he was cheated has at least some people foaming at the mouth, declaring him as a 'sellout'. I can't tell if they are being honest or not. Either way, they don't seem to get that looking back is the job of the people so Bernie can move forward without sounding like the whiner.
    12
  3071. Thank You for this video!!! I was desperately hoping for you to make this :). I have an idea for a video series. It's obviously just a suggestion, but I think it'd be a good idea. Here's my idea: A short overview over a few Premiers of Canadian Provinces. Maybe from Provinces with a nearing general election, or just the most prominent provinces or Premiers that stand out. Again, it's just a suggestion, but I would love it and I hope I'm not the only one :) Thank you for your objective and valuable insight, David! Greetings from Germany, Aaron
    12
  3072. loved the historical photos, fantastic video, thanks
    12
  3073. Think of all the news that David simply can't cover because he's one person doing everything himself. Practically everything that happens every day isn't reported because generating revenue is the only thing that matters. Reporting the news isn't even on the priority list anymore. The Rational National is one Canadian trying to bail out the ocean with his teaspoon and we appreciate it.

  3074. There's over 150 dispensaries in Toronto alone. There's gotta be something we can do to let the provincial govt know this is going to be a disaster.
    12
  3075. On some level, everyone who is part of the Trump administration or supporting their agenda knows what they're doing is horrible. Outside of violence and harassing their family members, have at it, let them feel at least a twinge of guilt and shame for what they've done. And even that is infinitely more civil than anything the other side advocates. When this idiotic fever dream finally ends, no one will be patting themselves on the back for how well they treated the Trump administration.

  3076. I remember watching David all the time back then in the afternoons...back when MSNBC did at one point have a somewhat progressive slant. Now all those people are gone, Ed Schultz(who was last on RT America), Keith Olbermann, Dylan Ratigan(now on TYT) among others.....only Rachel remains and she has become apart of the problem. Funny how Bill Press was one of those establishment media guys but has switched sides to TYT as well when Bernie his friend ran for President. Great video on David, David. Its just amusing seeing all of these guys switch sides. Joy reid being somewhat moral or principled on the topic social justice just blows my mind considering where she is now, just like rachel apart of the problem

  3077. piss on timmies in coburg. i will never go there.
    12
  3078. I watch both of these shows and am never disappointed. (David and Christo)
    12
  3079. 100% agree. Policy is first and foremost, but it is a strategic advantage to have diverse voices that can represent different communities. There are some that completely ignore that identity does play a factor but we don't live in a utopian society where everybody has equal opportunity. People of color are largely marginalized, trans people do NOT have the same rights. Read a history book and grasp that capitalism counts on groups of people being oppressed. "Racism is crucial to the system to keep Blacks and Whites at a division so both were and are a source of cheap labor" - James Baldwin

  3080. Have you seen the pic of Beto as a little kid wearing a shirt that says BETO on it? I guess he changed his name when he was 5 years old. Or he had political aspirations in kindergarten.
    12
  3081. So glad to know that ordinary people have the opportunity to listen to this. The interviewee has a historic and rational perspective that is rare to hear.
    12
  3082. In my opinion, something largely missing from the gun control debate is the aspect of demilitarization.
    12
  3083. Notification squad also love your videos
    12
  3084. The Rational National OMG YOU LIKED MY COMMENT! I love your show so much. I will always support independent media!
    12
  3085. Gotta love the boot lickers....Always on cue...Of course, SchroedingersCat2.0, you do know that 75% of the businesses in Venezuela are privately owned?...And,being an economic genius that all Right wing boot lickers are, you did know that Venezuela never diversified it's economy away from oil production, right?... Wanna know another place that hasn't properly diversified it's economy???...The province of Alberta....Guess what province would be in an almost equal heap of economic trouble (Probably more since Alberta is land locked) if it were it's own country???...And,of course, being knowledgable about history ,you do know what ideological types Adolph Hitler and Benito Mussolini aligned themselves with to seize power, right? Now, go back to The Rebel, give Ezra Levant your money every time he does a "pledge break", and, pretend you understand anything...Con boot lickers are the best useful idiots...
    12
  3086. Just joined in support for you David. I'm sorry for the delay. You deserve a much bigger medium. Here's to building it.
    12
  3087. Saw you talking on Twitter about demonetized videos again. Sorry you have to deal with that shit. I don't make a lot of money, but I wanna go ahead and give a small backing on Patreon because I think you do a great job (specifically, you do great policy-focused progressive commentary without demonizing the other sides).
    12
  3088. i like your bias dave :)
    12
  3089. Bernie hands Cruz his ASS. It can't be any more telling that Cruz is a complete sellout. I don't know about anyone else but I don't care how much money I am offered, I would never go on national television and make a complete ASS of myself like Cruz does here. Is he not embarrassed? Is he not ashamed? Does he not realize that he is nothing more than a pansy cum guzzler of the Koch brothers? This wasn't a debate, this was a comedy skit. Thank you, Sen. Sanders, for doing what progressives should be doing, not just politely disagreeing with these corporate shills, but actually calling them out, embarrassing them, then mocking and ridiculing them. Now is not the time to play nice.
    12
  3090. I love your presentation of the argument. The country, & all its people are doomed. It's never going to get better. The period with power are simply scared.
    12
  3091. Every word that David spoke, chimed exactly with what I have seen going on here. I am worried about our post-Brexit future : As a left leaning by default intellectual. (not by choice but by natural state), my own status in the future of this country is potentially as tenuous as that of Corbyn. This will be followed by a weeding out of dissenting voices, which the Labour party has seen coming too and disavowed any connection with any assumption of socialist tendencies.
    12
  3092. Hey, I'm 65 years old (woman) very progressive! I hate Shillary with every pore of my body. I've been watching Bernie for ages and when he decided to run for president, I had to volunteer. There are so many of us here and we don't watch corporate news at all.
    12
  3093. Donna is effing loco. What did she think would happen when she released all of that? Seriously?? I think that now she is trying to cover only because she is probably getting so much shit from dems.... I was really hoping that she just finally decided to come clean....
    12
  3094. Love having a legit political youtube commentator who deals with American AND Canadian affairs, keep doing your thing man. I'm from Quebec and didn't even hear about this, fucking wild haha
    12
  3095. Great video, well said. Here in london wasn't very competitive massive ndp numbers. Take the good with bad, hopefully people gain a sense of contrast in the next years if things are handled badly that could give ndp a chance. Liked wynnes agenda did good for the time she had, minus that 1 thing, should have been remembered for great job, they were more left than horwath in 2014 and it served people and the province well. Glad to see horwath with better platform this time and it worked alright. Keep it up.
    12
  3096. Just wanted to say that while Mexico is on the "good" end of the NAFTA trade deficit that's only the case because of how low the mexican wages are and they've been kept low precisely because of NAFTA, most mexicans would be better off without NAFTA too.
    12
  3097. Concerning some topics i like Jordan Peterson, i knew Jordan had some fragility as many White people do but Michael Eric Dyson just destroyed him .... wow .... smh
    12
  3098. Love seeing these guys together. Bernie 2020!
    12
  3099. Just by being called Progressives, progressives are already being defined as a third presence in the political atmosphere, something that up until the 2016 election was already thought to be impossible. This progressive presence is already redefining what it modern politics is in the 21st century on its very existence. At some point that will lead to redefining the public perspective on the two party system as well.
    12
  3100. I started laughing uncontrollably at 3:15 and your reaction of "What is this?! What are we even talking about?!" fucking hilarious man
    12
  3101. I'm so glad you mentioned the Montreal screw job šŸ¤£
    12
  3102. Well good for her and thank you for explaining. Excellent
    12
  3103. You said it. Bernie is genuine, compassionate, honest, straight-forward and trustworthy.
    12
  3104. Just made my monthly contribution David. Thank you for everything you do.
    12
  3105. Hey Chuckie... it's not the hypocrisy it's the FASCISM.
    12
  3106. The Primary has been over for months. While you're focused on alienating the majority of the Democratic party for your sycophantic obsession with a failed political dynasty the rest of us are busy fighting the real threat of Fascism in the United States. LEFT IS BEST!
    12
  3107. That whole "run a bland status quo run of the mill democrat" just goes to show that the democrats don't want to help the American people. They simply want to "Win". Win meaning being and power and do nothing. Corporations pay Republican to lower taxes on them and then pays the Democrats to not undo those tax breaks and still gives we the people the illusion of choice by pretending there's still a democracy. Strong Republicans and weak Democrats is what gets them rich. Both parties argue on social policies, not so much on economic policies.
    12
  3108. meanwhile Hillary is having brunch with billionaires

  3109. Congratulations on 40k subscribers! Been here since 10k, happy to see you grow David! You get regular shout outs on the other progressive channels too now, which is neat. Keep spreading truth! šŸ’œ

  3110. I donā€™t think the FCC would let murder be nationally televised.
    12
  3111. That last quote is DEVASTATING
    12
  3112. Jeff Weaver is such a hero. He was even on Jimmy's livestream on Saturday answering questions
    12
  3113. You shouldā€™ve seen Dave Rubinā€™s AMA on Reddit. It was a shitshow with him avoiding questions and giving half-assed answers towards others.
    12
  3114. One of the best upcoming progressive channels. Great work!!
    12
  3115. It was normal among my friends honestly but I grew up with a lot of older gay men around me as a girl. I still have mostly gay and bi friends who were pro gay marriage and fought for gay rights since forever. There are a lot more gay and bi people than straight people know because a ton of us stay closeted and a lot of people don't know the extent of gay history in this country. I will always be disappointed by so called liberals and progressives who didn't care about my community until it was trendy.
    12
  3116. David - collectivism and solidarity is how you change things. Santorum reference to what are you doing "individually" is meant to disempower. They do the same thing with climate change.
    12
  3117. This is not related to politics at all, but I really like that button up shirt.
    12
  3118. Are we just gonna ignore the fact that at the bottom of the article it says that Carlson applied to the CIA but got rejected so he turned to journalism??? LMFAOšŸ¤£šŸ¤£šŸ¤£šŸ¤£ 12:44
    12
  3119. Ā @imacmillĀ  Trump wasn't banned for criticism. Trump was banned for using Twitter to incite violence.
    12
  3120. Youtube and advertisers don't like "controversial" content. Even rationally discussed content that should hardly be considered controversial. There's also too much trust in auto-filters.
    12
  3121. great analysis i have my own numerous issues with the rubin report and you did an amazing job
    12
  3122. Maybe it's cuz I'm Canadian, but when I hear establishment liberal apologetically talking about universal healthcare, or dismissing... It's so profoundly repugnant to me that I can't feel anything other then revulsion. These wealthy, out-of-touch msm-types feel so comfortable equivocating about healthcare, cuz it makes no difference in their lives. The worst part is, these guys all travel, so they know that Canada, EU, UK, and a dozen other countries have universal healthcare.
    12
  3123. I saw you on Humanist Report boi! Keep makin appearances on progressive channels and ur channel will easily break 6 figure subs
    12
  3124. Great video! Just subscribed love the channel. You should definitely do a video on Jodan Peterson. Would love to here your perspective on him.
    12
  3125. Youā€™ve been doing some great work lately! Keep it up! Love this channel!!!
    12
  3126. chokinonashes61 surname Yeah David is great I'm a patron
    12
  3127. Love myself some Nina Turner as well. She's super inspirational.
    12
  3128. Mike, David, Kyle and Jimmy were my main news channels for a long while. Itā€™s been 2-3 good years since Iā€™ve bothered with Jimmy. Jimmy followed the money much in the same way Russell Brand did. Jimmy used to crack me up. I get bashing corporate Dems, but Jimmy never says anything around Reps anymore. Like when is the last time he said Donnie Tiny Hands? He wouldnā€™t dare say that now. He sold out and it worked, I guess. He has over a million subs and a lot of that is due to right wingers flooding his channel.
    12
  3129. International tragedy and feel-good stories used to make headlines. Your solution I believe is a great way to increase international empathy. Most Americans couldn't tell you what's going on in ttheir own cities. So it's hard to be optimistic.
    12
  3130. Congrats David, on hitting 20k subscribers!
    12
  3131. David, very true and powerful words, Thank you!
    12
  3132. I like hearing from someone from the perspective of a person who is not an American but I'm also interested it world political trends. I'm not your average American who buys into national pride or the other propaganda we are fed from the time we start school if not sooner. Thanks for your awesome channel. I'm glad to have found it.
    11
  3133. that is painfully obvious by what she said lol
    11
  3134. David on point once again lol. The only argument I would've made differently is when you brought up how she wanted a female president. What I would've said to that is that we should vote for whoever has the best policy positions - things like age, race, gender, and religion shouldn't matter when choosing our politicians - just whoever has the best solutions to the ills of the country.
    11
  3135. Don't forget about the "Brand New Congress" group also. Sort of like Justice Democrats, except they support progressive independents and even progressive conservatives. Love your show man, just discovered it and now it is part of my daily rounds.
    11
  3136. "They " think that by suppressing opposition to the establishment actually will work in today's world. They can't realize there only feeding the fire if their own demise. So yeah......fuckem
    11
  3137. My favorite Meghan McCain Moment was her railing against ā€œsocialismā€ while sheā€™s sitting on millions in inherited wealth.
    11
  3138. White privilege manifests when a white Yale student calls the police on a black Yale student for sleeping in a common area. It is clear that the white student feels entitled to have black person removed from a place she doesnā€™t belong. I participated in a seminar on becoming a financial advisor years ago and was advised by an overweight mess of a white woman that I would better suited to inquire with US post office.
    11
  3139. Great video David! I'm a Black woman and Yes to Bernie & Nina!!
    11
  3140. Why do people listen to Shapiro again?
    11
  3141. Up to 27K! Keep it going DD!
    11
  3142. she works as VP of the american enterprise institute, a supposed foriegn policy advisor society, basically a bunch of corporatist warhawks.
    11
  3143. This man gets it. #HigherThinking
    11
  3144. David, I want you to know how much I love your take on politics. My husband and I live in an incredibly red state and your clips make it easier to live among these Evangelical hypocrites. Thanks. Please keep up the awesome work.
    11
  3145. Even if it was graffiti, it could still be removed. They are rocks people. Rocks . Get some damn perspective on what is going on in the world. And past acts by JSO should tell you that nothing they do has destroyed any work of art in the past.
    11
  3146. Just opened a membership on Patreon. Sorry about $crewTube.
    11
  3147. Finally found some solid progressive channel beside Secular Talk.
    11
  3148. Thank you for this David, and all your other vids.
    11
  3149. I have watched my 81 year old, former FDR loving mother become brainwashed by FOX News over the last 15-20 years. She can't see the hypocrisy of not supporting Medicare For All when she is on Medicare. She has benefited from many tax payer funded programs, including one last year that helps low income seniors make their home more energy efficient at $0 cost to her, yet she rails against SOCIALISM! The only thing I can do is hit her lovingly, but firmly with facts, like showing her the almost $7,000 hospital bill we received for our child's single night hospital stay. Her reaction was "That can't be right." to which I replied "You're damn right, it's not right. But, it is correct." Sometimes I think I may be reaching her, but she lives too far away and apparently, I'm no match for Rupert Murdoch.
    11
  3150. Completely agree with you, some people just don't understand nuanced positions. Just because we like that she co-sponsored the bill, doesn't mean we are all of a sudden die-hard supporters or that we would even vote for her. We really have been pushing some of the more centrist democrats towards progressive policies recently. We can't push people away after they actually take a position we would otherwise like, just to be spiteful. The democrats actually have this problem with Trump, when he does something dems actually agree with, many people disagree with it just because Trump did it. It also reminds me of how republicans dealt with Obama, policies they agreed with before Obama all of a sudden are the worst policies in the world because Obama did it. We need to be principled if we are going to win people over to our side, otherwise we just look like partisan hacks who won't be happy no matter what. If a politician finally comes to our side on an issue, and we still shit on them, why would they even try to please progressives in the future?
    11
  3151. Happy New year David Keep up the good work šŸ‘šŸ½
    11
  3152. Really well put David!
    11
  3153. Great post! Gives me hope!
    11
  3154. I went to college with Danica Roam! Woohoo!
    11
  3155. As I recall it, we tried to get involved- it was called Occupy- because your administration wasn't championing us and it wasn't championing the issues we sent you to the White House to fix. How did you respond? By beating the shit out of us and crushing our movement and then spending the next half decade you had in power still not championing us or the issues we sent you to the White House to fix. History will not look kindly on the Obama administration, and it certainly won't look kindly on Joe Biden.
    11
  3156. If they did alternate polling they could have had more entertaining headlines "Turkey Sandwich beats Trump", "Lampshade leads Trump in prospective matchup", "Stained Dildo would shaft Trump in 2020", "Starbucks Coffee would destroy Trump" Okay, the last one is a little debatable (maybe the beverage tastes different in the US)
    11
  3157. David ā€“ Typical Canadian modesty. I think you're already one of the best political analysts out there.
    11
  3158. Nina, Ro, Bernie or Tulsi go on TV and people tune in. I suspect the Democrats may be running a test to find out where their electorate stands. Maybe their latest loss got their attention. Unfortunately it may be at a very high cost. If we even continue having elections, if Trump doesn't bring down the country, I hope the Dems start pushing for congressional seats. They don't even bother with mail in ballots. Maybe some of the leaders, unlike Pelosi, are finally starting to see what this might cost us, especially internationally. Even if we continue to be amongst the world leaders and don't become a third world country I wonder if we will ever be trusted again. I am grateful to some of our congressmen who are traveling internationally trying to reassure our friends around the world. Including Tulsi Gabbard who made an unofficial trip to Syria to find out for herself what is going on there. Bernie, and, I believe McCain who made trips to visit Europe and Great Britain. I'm not sure if anyone has made it up to Canada yet. I don't know if the Democrats will move back to the left where their voters are though because they recently took another step to the right. With a right wing party and a far right party Democrats and left leaning Independents have no one to vote for. Republicans don't often vote for Democrats. WTF?
    11
  3159. This is an excellent segment! I love the integrated analysis. Bravo.
    11
  3160. Notification Squad!!!!!
    11
  3161. Medicare for All will work easily if we tax the living shit out of people like Steve Rattner.
    11
  3162. I live in Maryland. Itā€™s a democratic state, but nowhere near a progressive state like CA. Nonetheless Iā€™m voting for her.
    11
  3163. Fadi Yashouh stop with this false equivalency! The Obama administration did NOT separate families!!! They were detained or deported together!!! If something is wrong Iā€™m all for calling it on any administration and I have, but with truth and facts!
    11
  3164. All of those windows, etc. being upgraded to more efficient models would also have had a positive impact on energy consumption requirements, and therefore carbon emissions in Ontario.
    11
  3165. Paid Consultants, like Neera Tanden, come up with faux talking points to smear Bernie. These talking points are then fed to their favorite pro-establishment Broadcasters and repeated. Example: "Bernie should wait, he's being selfish'". It's a highly coordinated effort. And, they don't actually believe the smear/talking point. They want to tear down Bernie's popularity, because they need a pro-establishment, pro-Wall Street politician to install on Hillary's old throne.
    11
  3166. I'm not even Canadian and this pisses me off.
    11
  3167. Thanks David. Great that you called out Harvard on their weaselly spinelessness.
    11
  3168. Itā€™s like watching the birth of a liberal Tea Party movement. With the big difference being this movement is here to help people. šŸ‘šŸ¼šŸ˜ƒ
    11
  3169. David we will support you, don't worry. I'm your patron, of course. Please continue - we watch you always.
    11
  3170. Ā @racheleaston43Ā  now they have nothing to hold on her while she is able to more pointedly address the issue. Had she doubled down sans apology, people just would have continued to try to discount the validity of the point by making it about anti-Semitism as opposed to the influence of money in politics. In fact, the outcry likely pulled more focus to the actual problem to begin with, and now perhaps some of the people who were not aware of that are able to think on it and form an opinion that it's wrong.
    11
  3171. The irony behind this particular view espoused by Graham is that it makes people who oppose you far more likely to want to bring the conflict to your shores. Only care about yourself? Willing to engage in actions because it won't affect you anyway? Ok, we'll level a couple phallic structures in your homeland and kill a few thousand people while we're at it. Now how does it feel? Funny how being selfish is fucking shortsighted as hell.
    11
  3172. This time, Maddow nailed it, she showed true empathy; I think she has the ability to be a true reporter, she just needs to do that more and teach CNN and other mainstream news stations a lesson or two. Itā€™s really sad how we have become a nation of apathetic zombies. Mr. Lewandowski is just a dude, not a man. A DUDE does what this scumbag did on national TV, most likely for money and just to try and make an ass out of himself. A MAN would understand the impact that parents and family, when together, can make in a childā€™s life, regardless of race, creed, genders, languages, and what have you.
    11
  3173. Really happy that thereā€™s a progressive alternative news source in Canada since Canada is so neoliberal that itā€™s hard to find someone who can get through all the bullshit and platitudes and ask the right questions
    11
  3174. Pat Tillman sounds like a guy who would kneel with Kaepernick - in recognition of dissent being the highest form of patriotism...
    11
  3175. He has a shady past and he is screwing his family over ! Imagine the screwing Ontarians will take if this crook is elected.
    11
  3176. David thank you for bringing up white identity politics. Few people actually admit that its a thing that's possible because the right wing and specifically the far right controls the political narrative in this country.
    11
  3177. Half the country doesn't even know Puerto Rico is apart of America
    11
  3178. One of the things Ana from TYT said when she finally came out and talked about Dave Rubin was that he was extremely lazy but still wanted to get a six figure salary. This clip shows that this is obviously true, he couldnā€™t even be bothered to do the slightest bit of research.
    11
  3179. If you reduce taxes, you have to reduce services like healthcare! Ford is full of it, saying he will cut taxes but improve services, with what money? It makes no sense at all Ford is a conman!
    11
  3180. Subscribed! Why are Canadian boys soo good looking??? šŸ˜‰

  3181. Future Prime Minister vibes from this guy
    11
  3182. Does there really need to be another corporate party? Interesting how all other progressive countries have a variety of leftist parties that have capitulated centrists to their positions.
    11
  3183. News is the wealthy paying rich people to tell the middle class it's the poor's fault.
    11
  3184. This may be the understatement of the century, but it seems to me, based on your examples, that they're targeting videos that critically address "neoliberals," "centrists," and "Democrats." This makes sense, given that Google has been censoring and manipulating searches since at least the 2016 primaries. They would specifically sanitize the recommended searches when you typed "hillary clinton" while promoting the most negative choices when you typed "bernie sanders" or "donald trump," and I specifically compared the recommended searches that came up with Bing, Yahoo!, and several others -- Google's was uniquely positive toward Clinton and negative toward Bernie and Trump. In essence, the media power elite realized that progressives were getting a foothold, not just in terms of ideas but in terms of money made as partners through YouTube, and set up a story about one hate video getting an ad... and the rest is history. I sorry this is happening. As an American, I appreciate a Canadian's perspective on my sick country -- and mean that in a medical sense, not really as a value judgment.
    11
  3185. Who isn't mental when they go out to kill people on purpose? Yes mental health is an issue and we all know this, but it doesn't help that they're also able to get their hands on guns in most cases legally. They aren't isolated and separate issues, they walk hand in hand and both need to be addressed, not with arming more people, but with reasonable Gun control. Of course it's not going to immediately stop all shootings forever but if we don't start somewhere to try to fix this then we certainly won't get anywhere and in that time more people are going to get killed.
    11
  3186. Can you say ā€œcultā€?

  3192. OMG! Can all these old weird thinking people just go away (stuck in the past old farts)... they all had their turns and they fuc'd it up for the generations coming up behind them - let the Millennials give it a try - I'm a old black woman and I trust the vision of the Millennials GIVE THEM A BREAK dammit.
    11
  3193. So, he's some weird father figure talking tough to the millennials in an effort to get them to "buck up." Its not going to work. They know exactly how they are being screwed and they know that Joe Biden is part of that picture. excellent show...you broke it down perfectly. He seems all over the place to me too.

  3194. about bernie treating hillary with kid gloves...yeah i definitely think he did..but i kinda give him a pass on that myself. i mean that's one of the reasons i really like Bernie, he's just a genuinely nice guy who doesn't like to go low if he can help it, he's not a politican who can speak like Obama in a suit and then turn around and do the opposite, he's just got a message and you can tell he means it. i don't think he would have won the primaries due to the DNC against him and the name recognition being too little too late, but still, i get what your saying.
    11
  3195. Besides the fact that the PC claimed $0.10/L in the campaign, even that $0.04 goes away... Prices are going up anyway, so by the time its implemented, it'll be eaten by the usual uptick in gas prices! My car only holds 50L of gas. Should I really be that thankful for $2 savings per fill-up? Please!
    11
  3196. Oh my gosh yes Iā€™ve found a fellow Canadian! And thank you so much for talking about this. As a teenager in high school I find it extremely infuriating that people like Ben Shapiro keep pushing the idea that these kids couldnā€™t possibly be fighting for gun reform because they feel itā€™s a logical thing to do, but that they are being influenced by the media and their teachers etc. I mean they donā€™t feel safe going to school anymore! Of course they are going to do something about it!
    11
  3197. Great vid. I really appreciate you taking the time to read the comments. It means a great deal to me.
    11
  3198. I want this guy commenting on a chess game. Or better yet, a golf game... right next to the golfers.
    11
  3199. thanks you soo much , bro. you speak from my soul and I doubt my dad wld have thought a white guy wld speak for me. how we progress! keep going!
    11
  3200. That's how you know that the establishment is SCARED!!!! I'm going to contribute to you because I can tell when they see someone who is hitting them right where it hurts. Keep going David!!!!
    11
  3201. Baby bro kept it real. Find out who a man REALLY was BEFORE you speak at his funeral... yeesh. Rest in Peace, Brother Tillman. Thank you for your service and example.
    11
  3202. Class warfare. Plain and simple. The billionaire class throws a tantrum every time they are forced to be decent human beings and, in the process, cut it all, pointing the finger at "regulation" and "government interference." It's petty bullshit. Period.
    11
  3203. Australican I agree with you wholeheartedly. Corbyn was instrumental in the good Friday agreement that brought peace to Ireland, and yet the media love to smear him as an IRA sympathiser ā€œbecause he was talking to themā€. Must take a special kind of stupid to not realise that an agreement is only reached by talking to the parties involved. He is not a war monger, as many would paint him. Blair on the other hand, is a different kettle of fish entirely!
    11
  3204. David Doel looks like a white Drake.
    11
  3205. Am loving these response segments!
    11
  3206. If you think people like Bernie Sanders or Elizabeth Warren are left wingers, you should go back and read some of FDR's speeches. FDR was far more radical than any of today's so called left wingers.
    11
  3207. If the pressure from progressives is enough to change the positions of establishment people, they should be commended for it. I mean when they come around and change their positions and then they still get shit on,... what exactly is their incentive to change their positions in the future? oO The main take away is that progressive voices can affect real change. Having unrealistic purity tests isn't a winning strategy. None of this means that people should be suckered in. It's just about holding people accountable and making sure they represent the people.
    11
  3208. I know, it's insane right David? " we'll tell you what happened and what to believe" seems to be the motto of All state-new schans! But pple in the UK know really well Labor got a victory!
    11
  3209. David presents in a clear, concise manner and uses graphs, charts, quotes, etc. on the screen to support his points. When I listen to some other progressives they appear to be unprepared, ramble, and I feel I am wasting some of my time, but never with David.
    11
  3210. They are gonna pull Trump in long enough for Trump to state "CNN is fake news but Breitbart is the gospel" aaannnd that's when they are going to blast him! Knowing that he would lose credibility by going back on that statement. Bannon is evil, smart and strategic. A horrible combination for the aspiring Orange Dictator
    11
  3211. DAVID I love your videos but this one... couldn't be more dead on! thank you! I've been getting pounded by Sam Harris and Peterson supporters lately and I've already shared this video in the green party fb forum. do you know what Jagmeet is running on yet? so far I think he wants to legalize drugs? beats me. I really hope green party gains traction. I've always said I don't know why the green party in the states and here should join forces, even just to help eachother out more.
    11
  3212. I sent $5, I know it's not a lot but I hope it's something ā¤ļøšŸŒ¹ Thank you for working hard to get us the truth.
    11
  3213. Great job on this. Such an under reported issue.
    11
  3214. Fetterman looks like a bouncer. Please keep out the corrupt Republicans and right wing Democrats.
    11
  3215. Neo-liberals are obsessed with identity politics in order to distract the masses while they implement pro corporate or top 1% agenda. Peterson has some good points in regards to the dangers of post modernism and Identity politics I.E. (the radical left) unfortunately I feel he'll turn himself into a character of pure right wing 'social justice warrior' bashing in an intellectual form if he keeps riding the wave. I wish Politicians could debate policies for all people instead of constantly pitting us against each other.
    11
  3216. I'm doubling down on Bernie. I still have my Bernie sticker on my van and now have a "Medicare For All" sticker next to it. I've joined Our Revolution and Justice Democrats. It's time to keep the faith and get all of those Bernie/Trump voters back into the fold. I truly believe most Americans want single payer, a $15.00 minimum wage and free public college and university education. We just have to show them the way and not get distracted by sideshows.
    11
  3217. Doesn't Medicare for all make ACA look less leftist? Plus, now we don't have to blindly support ACA to block TrumpCare. We can offer an alternative. It's like saying, no don't spend tax dollars building new nuclear plant with waste products that need guarded for millenia. Instead build biogas plants (sorry, channeling fully charged episode on Hinkley point C). We need more than "NO"
    11
  3218. When she ( Freeland), says ā€œ all parties ā€œ she does sound like Trump when he said ā€œ the are people on both sides to be blamed, referring to the white Supramacists. As good people..
    11
  3219. Ima play conspiracy theorist here for a second. What if Pelosi really doesnā€™t want him to win, and since she knows how toxic her brand is, and that she tarnishes everything that she touches, sheā€™s thrown her support behind him I tha hopes that heā€™ll lose? lolol, probably not, but itā€™s funny to think about.
    11
  3220. Always wondered why America throws folks into jail for smoking a joint, but then l found out about Paid Prisons & slave inmate labour. I believe it was Haldeman that described Nixon's (and the CIA) promoting drug use amongst the 'lower' classes to "keep 'em stupid & complacent", but l could be wrong. Oh looky! Some States and even certain Countries are making pot legal... and raking in the tax benefits. No surprise that Bayer-Monsanto wants to patent their synthetic shit and keep the natural stuff illegal. (l guess screwing the farmers over corn seeds wasn't enough for them) Hmm...
    11
  3221. You and Russell Brand are right - When Democrats don't represent the voice of working people, Trump will be inevitable. I see from the clip that Bill Maher is concerned about Healthcare. So it would be nice if Bill used his platform to shine a light on "Medicare for All".
    11
  3222. Not with bitumen running through it. That shit is highly corrosive to carbon steel. They are reporting since 1961 but the tar sands project didn't begin until 1967. So that's 6 years without a spill. Each spill is also not that same small amount. At 4800 liters that spill is about 32 barrels. (approx. 150 liters per barrel). The Trans Mountain had 1 spill in 1985 that was 10,000 barrels. http://calgaryherald.com/business/energy/timeline-key-dates-in-the-history-of-the-trans-mountain-pipeline
    11
  3223. Similarities between the corporate Democrats in the US and Liberals in Canada is truly striking.
    11
  3224. Keep at it, David! This is just the kind of incredible piece that has the ability to ignite hearts and minds of all stripes (other than grotesque teacher demonizers, who should all go extinct). Really appreciate your tackling of these larger issues - the balance is remarkable.
    11
  3225. Ironically after Biden made a name for himself viciously going after the black community he keeps trying to hitch his failed political career to prominent black politicians and it's gross. The fact the Biden is even thinking about doing this is pathetic. We all know Joe has a terrible record with black people. He was a tough on crime politician who made his career scapegoating minorities and fear mongering about drugs and crime. He wrote the disastrous crime bill exploded mass incarceration. And his positions on segregation are inexcusable.
    11
  3226. I'm looking forward to see all the self proclaimed "Freeze Peach" advocates pick up this story, on a REAL free speech issue, bring attention to it and condemn how law enforcement has acted in this case! But better not hold my breath on this one, or it will risk turning into a real "Blue Lives Matter" issue when I die from asphyxiation....
    11
  3227. Since Americans form all their thoughts from worshipping their TV I guess this comment won't matter...Max is exactly right!!!!
    11
  3228. These cheap shots prove that the establishment is worried about Bernie's popularity. Any politician that speaks out for the average American is an enemy of the Oligarchy.
    11
  3229. Happy New Years guys. Be safe!
    11
  3230. Have really been appreciating your work. By far my favorite progressive commentator right now. Hope you keep getting the support you deserve.
    11
  3231. Why is it right-wingers never care about ethics or morals or common decency or honesty or anything but self-interest?
    11
  3232. This poor guy's life was destroyed when he was 8. I learned about Omar Khadr years ago on Democracy Now! Amy Goodman kept his name out there when he was still in Guantanamo and interviewed him regularly once he was released. The interviews were nice. He's a really decent guy and very moving. I prayed for him and some of the others because of Amy's coverage. When I listened to your report, I cried. Thanks for covering this. I love your work.
    10
  3233. I'm from NJ. Yeah, we elected Booker, but we don't trust him. Good on you for calling out his dishonesty. In his case, it was obvious when he was mayor. BTW, with all of Hillary's baggage, it wasn't the left haters or the Clinton haters that cost here the election. It was her disingenuous nature. Even those that liked her, said it. There were two kinds of Trump voters. Those who voted for him, and those who voted against Hillary.
    10
  3234. What an odd twist...wtf.
    10
  3235. All excellent points you have made about the DNC. Great job David! Keep up the good work.
    10
  3236. I found this channel a few days ago and have watched several of their videos since then. I really like the job your doing Rational National. I don't think I've disagree'd with a single thing you've said. I gladly subscribed and I hope as others have mentioned that your organization takes off. Keep up the good work!
    10
  3237. Thanks for the vids, keep up the good work!
    10
  3238. Biden's running, because the banks and corporations that run this country, are paying him to.
    10
  3239. You need to realize this, America: This RADICAL REVOLUTION OF THE PEOPLE Bernie is talking about, happened in my beloved Sweden in the 30s (ish). The idea was "Det Svenska Folkhemmet" (The Swedish Folkhome? Populationhome? Well, you get it), introduced by Per Albin Hansson. And we've been flourishing ever since. Calm down, America! Sit down and realize the facts; taking care of your people FIRST makes for a healthier country in all matters. Right now the US is so fucking company-driven. Your extreme capitalism has to be balanced out with basic fucking traits that you as a person living in a developed country SHOULD EXPECT. Seriously, every other developed country is doing this radical thing. Relax and give a fuck about each other already. This is basic shit. Love this video! New sub šŸ‡øšŸ‡Ŗ
    10
  3240. There we go I like it when you get back on kicking the establishment. Roseanne has always been an idiot. This is real news.
    10
  3241. Awesome journalism, once again! Thank you.
    10
  3242. I joined the Liberals and helped get Justin elected to leadership and then PM What a huge error. I resigned from the Liberals early last year over pipelines. There is nothing more important than the biosphere. Nothing. To claim otherwise is wrong. I spent last night congratulating people on owning an oil pipeline. Everyone thinks it is disgusting. He's lost Ontario over this
    10
  3243. It's worse than that, people are dying in the cruellest of ways. A report has already deemed the 120,000+ 'excess' deaths (and growing by the day) as Economic Murder. Since that report was made there have been more than 10,000 deaths in the first seven weeks of 2018. https://www.thelondoneconomic.com/news/conservatives-accused-economic-murder-landmark-study-links-120k-deaths-austerity/16/11/
    10
  3244. The Rational National I am a patreon already David what else can I do so you keep making videos
    10
  3245. As a citizens of the UCA! the United Corporatocracy of America I must ask is this a step toward corporatocracy and away from republic Canada! if so turn back now! The USA has been UCA for a long time and you know how much that sucks my value as a person is zero!
    10
  3246. ā€œLook at how unhappy these pot smokers appear!ā€ Well yeah, because if any of them so much as cracks a smile youā€™d jump at them for it, saying theyā€™re probably stoned and not able to take things seriously. You canā€™t win with some people.
    10
  3247. Very good analysis! I have been adjunct at universities for the past almost 30 years.
    10
  3248. You missed another safeguard of the Act which requires each province to first approve of its use with in their territory
    10
  3249. Subbed ya, Bra! Good luck with the show.
    10
  3250. Thank You for what you do David Doel.
    10
  3251. That tweet from Kyle was on point they will never admit to it cause they don't care about policy just lying to get elected and more votes. Cuomo backed off of the free college proposal not that long ago. Nice try to lie JB. Cuomo is a total corrupt elitist piece of crap with half measure proposals to try to shut up progressives and DSA's like myself. Andrew's son really isn't that much different from with his status quo B.S on CNN.
    10
  3252. The only real lesson to take away from this is that sexual allegations are effective at taking down a candidate. Still, I'm glad that Doug "Put the Klan in the Can" Jones won.
    10
  3253. Hey David. I always appreciate and enjoy your content, thanks for your hard work. I'm curious though... since you're Canadian what triggered your interest in US politics? Would you consider doing a video on it?
    10
  3254. I work at Canada Post (different union from CUPW). This strike has been so bad for the workers. I would have preferred forced arbitration instead of kicking the can down the road. At least Canada Post is showing some good will. Every striking employee is immediately getting $1000 and a 5% raise with back pay from January 2024. I hope this gets resolved before May.
    10
  3255. She should just give them the finger and go elsewhere now, she doesn't need them.
    10
  3256. This is exactly the reason Hillary lost and the DNC is on life support! They continue to distance, discredit, and disenfranchise the imodderate left and youth voters. Hillary could have won the election simply by conceding to bring Bernie on as VP. But by drafting Kaine, she showed her true allegiance to the political status quo. Now all the establishment democrats want to blame those who are the future of the progressive agenda for their epic failure.
    10
  3257. Everyone prefers Davids shirts instead
    10
  3258. Damn what is with all the pissing and moaning on this chat? You can't watch one video you disagree with without plugging your ears to everything else he says? Christ.
    10
  3259. Tostitos?
    10
  3260. There is going to be a serious trade war if Trump implements this policy to countries in Canada and Sweden. While the premise is right, we need to impose high tariffs on countries that exploit labor like China, he has zero strategy to elevate unions. Thanks for your outsider voice.
    10
  3261. We are truly talking about 40 dollars a week per worker difference with a one dollar pay rise if you are making millions in profits this is truly just pure greed. Disgusting.
    10
  3262. I make just barely over 29,000 and my job has benefits which I can't afford. It eats over 200 bucks out my paycheck every 2 weeks. So 6% more in taxes is better than the con job the insurance companies do. The whole year I did have it the premiums were so ridiculous and covered next to nothing so it was never used. I still avoided going to the doctor because I couldn't afford it. If Bernie got this going life would be way less stressful.
    10
  3263. I tore my Achilles in November and ended up paying less then $100 all up including meds and an operation I'm still weeks away from getting back to work and the whole way thru i've been getting 80% of my wages thanks to acc. so glad I live in New Zealand
    10
  3264. It will take more than gun reform to help the US. If you want to compare Canada and the US, you must first look at the culture itself. For hunters, sport shooters, and collectors in Canada, the privilege of possessing a licence is valued. The understanding that bad behaviour could find that privilege revoked is reason to keep yourself out of trouble. In the US the ā€œright to bear armsā€ relieves the need for responsibility because itā€™s not a privilege. In my opinion itā€™s the mindset of responsible gun ownership that will have to change in the US and that will take regulation and time.
    10
  3265. Corporate media doesn't talk about poverty because they are rich executives. They are television personalities with personal make-up artists and wardrobe consultants who are so rich that they are completely out of touch with Americans struggling to claw their way back into the middle class. And where are the wealthy RFK-like leaders with the courage to touch the families of Appalachia or visit the discarded class living out of their cars after losing their homes during the global economic collapse caused by deregulation of banks?
    10
  3266. This is the best work I've seen out of you in a long time, &I've been following you for a long time,+David Doel! You impress me, (not an easy thing to do!)
    10
  3267. Another really bad company to work for is UPS. I worked at the 43 street hub in Manhattan. When I worked there from 78 to 90 there we had at least one fatality and several severe injuries and I am talking broken bones and crushed limbs that I just knew about and hundreds of worker comp injuries from the grueling manual labor there. Most of the people who were hired there were usually young men just a couple years out of high school. I left when in 90 I was out with a sprained back and I was warned by the orthopedist that I saw back then that the job was going to destroy my body and quit as soon as I found better work. At 62 I now have arthritis in several spots in my body that the grueling work I did back then my have contributed to. My advice to any young person is that you should avoid working in places like this because you will pay the price decades later from all that grueling work.
    10
  3268. I fully agree with you. Jones broke the terms and conditions MULTIPLE times which lead to a lawsuit. He doesnā€™t get preference because us on the left are too scared that the right wonā€™t defend us. They NEVER will. Free speech hypocrites like Dave Ruben will never defend the left.
    10
  3269. ''The Rational National'' is a great name for this channel because this guy is very , very rational in his reporting !
    10
  3270. What the establishment doesn't understand is that we don't support Harris because policy matters to us. It has never been about sexism. I'm sure pretty much every Bernie supporter would have supported Elizabeth Warren. Unlike conservatives and corporate dems, we don't believe in identity politics. We didn't support Bernie because we liked the way he looked. He's a Jewish socialist with poor posture and messy hair. If it weren't for policy, we probably would have rather had the first woman president.
    10
  3271. Great segment
    10
  3272. Sir, you have a new subscriber..... we need rational, intelligent thought and discourse -- thank you An excellent, cogent and rational rebuttal to the utter madness, and twisted, sensationalist, propagandist, yellow journalism rubbish that now passes for the "main stream media". There are a number of Presidents born into wealth (here mentioning two plus, but there were many others), that fought FOR the people - both FDR, JFK, (and RFK, although Bobby was taken out before he could swear the oath).... were called "traitors to their class" and were despised. They were despised by "big steel" "big pharma" the MIC, big oil, the rogue intelligence thugs, on and on...... They plotted and almost succeeded with a coup against FDR - it was exposed by General Smedley S. Butler (who went on to write "War is a Racket")..... Going back to Bernie --- I must assume that he should never accept a gift from a loved one, that he must shop from a dumpster, and live in a tar paper shotgun shack. Bernie's record is long and proud, going back to his being jailed during civil rights marches, and fighting against the loathsome Vietnam war .... they can not refute his record, thus they attack his clothing...... truly vile, childish and despicable.
    10
  3273. Please, DON'T EVER stop reporting the truth and doing research. <3 God bless, fellow Worker.
    10
  3274. This has put me in an awkward position where I have to defend Sam Seder. And I fucking LOATHE Sam Seder! He's a gaslighting hack who can't stop punching left and encourages trolls to harrass people he disagrees with. But fired over a JOKE?? Taken out of context by Mike "She Was Probably Asking For It" Cernovich, no less?? This has to stop. On a side note: It's worth mentioning that Paul Joseph Watson only defended Seder after Kyle Kulinski fact-checked him and told him to be consistent on free-speech. This actually makes BOTH of them look good--Kulinski for demonstrating how to fact-check the Right, and Watson for actually having the integrity to switch his position when someone he disagrees with proves him wrong (bar's admittedly low, but it IS Prison Planet so...)
    10
  3275. Iā€™m from Spain. We have +20% unemployment rate, fascist parties in the government for long time. 1Million families without any income. Worst press in the whole Europe. The most corrupted parties and much more. We have ZERO shootings. Why? Guns are forbidden
    10
  3276. The corrupt Liberal Party, like the even more corrupt and far more blatantly pathological Conservative (actually Reform Party, under the Con label,) Party, are owned and operated by such as the Koch brothers and any other major corporate/billionaires polluters and wealth-drainers who pay them and both are in with corporate coups masquerading as 'trade deals'; Canadians would have to be utterly propaganda-blinded to fall into the Two-Corporate-Party Trap (as in the US) and to vote for either corporate Party when they have the Greens under Elizabeth May and it appears that the NDP may, once again, actually be the NDP, working for humanity and Canadians.
    10
  3277. Thank you so much for the language comment.I'm so sick of people talking about how trump isn't very presidential in his speech and ignoring the actual policies and actions. Its all a media storm over nothing rather than a look at what's actually hapenning
    10
  3278. well fuck... I don't hate Warren anymore. I didn't really hate her..was just frustrated, but that last comment did it for me. I think I'll stop being hard on Warren.
    10
  3279. I haven't heard any condemnation of these murders from the Canadian government. The Liberals, as well as the Conservatives, always seem to pander to the Jewish community and ignore the Muslims in this country. If Trudeau doesn't come out against this violence then I totally wash my hands of him.
    10
  3280. My Dad was an industrial engineer. His idol was Frederic Taylor, who would time workers with a stopwatch (Google It!) and tell them to eliminate unwanted gests. Amazon uses algorithms and the monitor to do the same thing. As well as punishment! I have been involved in ergonomics, though I am not titled in the field. The Anglo-Saxon approach is to have engineers take a few medical classes and they become ergonomists. The Italian approach is to have medical doctors take a few engineering courses and they become ergonomists. Have you ever noticed that Italian products seem to fit right! That is my preference. I have a used Tesla and a Nissan. I have a reservation for the Tesla Model 3, but my daughter and I will not take it since we find the Nissan more fun to drive. The Tesla is based on autonomous driving and the controls are through a touchscreen and are not convenient. I also hope to be involved in renewable energy production. We have decided to use a Chinese system that emphasizes using workers instead of robots.
    10
  3281. So I guess that means non stop wars are free? I never see anyone bitching about how we'll pay for those.
    10
  3282. Lori Smith Ha ha ha. If we had it your way we wouldn't have police, the Military, road construction, the post office...or a hundred other programs that get paid for with our collective tax revenue. Single Payer is also cheaper than what we have now. It's almost like you have no clue what you are talking about.
    10
  3283. Some of the best coverage of U.S. politics done by a Canadian. Strange but Thank you David for laying out the truth in a Storm of political Smoke Screens.
    10
  3284. Another great show my guy....keep doing what you're doing.
    10
  3285. Now I know you're a Right wing boot licker ( undoubtedly hiding behind the infantile title of a "classic liberal") Re. your question ( that you added after the fact...another trait of the Right wing...subterfuge)...Trudeau is a conservative as he, and his Lib's, are Ā also into the maintenance of the economic status quo. Has Mr. Trudeau, and his Lib's, done anything re. the unsustainably low corporate tax rate?...Has Mr. Trudeau done anything about the massive public to private wealth transference ( see: Triple P's re. infrastructure)? Anything about wage stagnation?...Anything about Bill C-51 ( the surveillance state) other than renaming it?...Anything about electoral reform? Subsidies to profitable oil and gas corporations? I'll await your Albertan/rural Canadian response on those...The Lib's are Con's with a smile...They DO give the odd offset on social issues. This is what they use to differentiate themselves from the Con's ( like the corporate Democrats in the US). On economic matters, and that is where the rubber meets the proverbial road, I defy anyone to tell me the difference. Re. That you actually think the Nazi's were of "the Left"...Again,now I know you're a Right wing boot licker...I suppose you think that, because of the verbiage, East Germany was called the "Democratic Republic of Germany" and it was also a "democracy". I also assume the because of this that Eric Honecker , and his STASI< were staunch defenders of democracy?...And seeing as you're a fan of definitions and a fan of "running a country like a business", let's get one from the source and not Mr. Webster..."Fascism should more appropriately be called Corporatism, as it is the merger of the state and corporate power..."...Benito Mussolini...He was the co-author of the Fascist manifesto, by the way... The rest is a miss mash of Paul Joseph Watson/ Jordan Peterson pseudo intellectual drivel I'm not prepared to spend any time on...And my point stands... You're a Right wing boot licker,drunk on your own version of identity politics and economics, and The Rebel is where you belong..

  3286. That was a great video and analysis of a "soulless" politician. I think that Canadian elites are freaking out beyond belief at what is happening in the United States.The majority of Millenials are adopting socialism and rejecting capitalism.To go back to Canada,households have suffered from neoliberal policies and have never been in so much debt while the 0.1% is accumulating insane wealth.It causes a huge sentiment of insecurity and it's human to try to find out what is the source of those problems and here comes the racist conservatives who are there to divert the attention from a class war perpetuated by the elites to anyone who isn't white heterosexual and upper middle class as the causes of Canada's economic woes.It is so important to fight that racism in order to demand the end of neoliberalism.

  3288. Thank you! I felt the very same way when I saw this and you showed very good evidence of Joe hypocracy without saying it.

  3289. Its amusing to see idiots like Maria Perez desperately grasping at straws in her attempt at taking Bernie down a peg as you explained perfectly David Doel using FDR as an example people who have money aren't hypocritical for decrying wealth inequality when there actively trying to combat and speak out against it as Bernie has done for decades as someone who wasn't born into wealth its also simply no one's business what he spends his own money on.

  3290. I watched this episode also, and I was physically jarred by this exchange. Ms Weiss and Mr Maher horrified me and I felt painfully sad. I also felt that perhaps Dan Savage was gritting his teeth and clenching his muscles very hard. He seemed uncomfortable with this hate-fest, to say the least.

'Well if you're a socialist then why are you wearing nice clothing???' >Trotsky, Lenin, Bakunin, Marx, Engels all wore suits. >Many prominent socialists/marxists/anarchists came from the upper class. >Some of the most successful socialist experiments were done by utopian socialists who had a lot of personal wealth and could thus tangibly alter their capital distribution and their workers' standard of living. >Implying only free-market capitalism allows for discretionary spending. >Implying socialism, nevermind democratic socialism, nevermind social democracy, nevermind American social liberalism necessitates an austere lifestyle. >Implying Bernie is not god.

  3296. Hillarymen: nothing more than another glorified fan club and likely doing double duty via their followers for target clients. No wonder they act like crazed and defensive Swift and Beyonce fans. However, Daou and Watson definitely know what they're doing and are no doubt paid opposition, or trying to be again. Watson's CauseWired site says enough, even if it's comical that his services include communications and marketing as well as social media strategy. Yeah, kinda fail on that one, boyo. Nina ā¤. They need to have her on the panel with those two, just so we can watch as she eats them alive, using the things they hate most: facts and reality.

  3297. I never understood why so many people don't vote. I've only missed 2 midterms in the last 20 years. When I don't like the major candidates, I vote 3rd party. I despise both parties, but sometimes either can have moral people. I'm not religious, but I'm ideologically very egalitarian. That makes participating in democracy the closest thing to the feeling of going to church that I get. The voting booth is like the confessional booth, where the soul feels cleaner for taking part.

  3301. Free speech doesn't mean lack of consequences. In part the media spin she is required to put on her stories can easily backfire. While the upside of being an anchor for cable news is you make a lot of money there can be a line crossed in the partisan propaganda. People sometimes strike back in a way that gets you demonitized. How can I feel bad about that when YouTube media stars get demonitized for nothing more than reporting? Probably because they are providing the cable news with some serious competition.

  3304. I think YouTube was right to removed Jones. Let be real, Jones knows exactly what he is doing if not after the pizzagate fiasco. Jones know that his listeners are the most stable people who will go out and harass whoever Jones tell them. The parents of sandy hook victims have to constantly move because of harassment from his listeners. You canā€™t just go ā€œthey are crisis actor, rapist, murderer, pedophile, blood drinking satanist! Do with that what you willā€ and be ā€œoh I didnā€™t mean for all of those horrible things from happeningā€ Jones bought this on himself

  3305. Great video as always David, couldn't agree more!!!!! Definitely encourage people to watch or listen to Tommy Douglas's mouseland speech. Pretty much sums up our current predicament. Have you seen the movie: Prairie Giant? If not, i think you might enjoy it quite a great deal. Very inspiring, and definitely entertaining. Not completely historically accurate, but certainly close enough. Tommy Douglas was such an incredible figure, and one not only us Canadians can appreciate and admire, but one our Bernie supporting brethren to the south can admire, and find inspiration in as well.

  3308. I truly appreciate this interview for our local candidate and fellow xwilkway/Halfmoon Bay resident. I appreciated the opportunity to hear his views in your longer, less "sound Bitey", format. Getting to hear his thoughts, background and platform was helpful in establishing my opinion for the upcoming election.

    10
  3317. Yeah, as a gay person who's dealt with endless bigotry because of it, I'm super sick of the shenanigans where we pull things up from years ago to demonize people. I get it more than most, homophobia is gross. So let's leave what's gross in the past, celebrate where we are now, and continue moving towards a better world. Everyone has the right to evolve and change their identity, including Joy. Joy lying about it I can't defend though, nor do I want to. It's a shame cause had she been honest she could have been a testament to change...

  3318. Is Steve Rattner a mole for the Republicans in the midst of the Democratic Party? Oh, yes, silly me! The DNC would rather lose to Republicans than back progressives on the Democratic ticket. As long as corporations donate to the Democratic Establishment, the DNC doesn't care about the fate of the poor and middle class.

  3320. Sounds a lot like what happened when Obama began healthcare reform. Except, he actually did give in & only worked with insurance companies while kicking the grassroots out of the process (i.e. Nurses, unions, & other groups who were for single payer or at the very least a public option).

  3328. In my opinion, we have to try all these reform ideas, but personally what I want to prioritize is what the Tea Party did; reform from the inside. The election system itself is heavily rigged against 3rd parties (state ballots, media, debates), so the Democratic party is our best vessel. The Tea Party RAPIDLY and successfully moved the Republican party farther right, and I think if we put our hearts into this and and put effort into progressive reform, with time (may it be 2 years or 5 years or even 8 years) the Democratic party will cave. Yes, I'm well aware of the fact that the Republican party responds to its base better, but I think senate races with progressives challenging the establishment will eventually chip away at the corp. Dems. Remember, this ''progressive'' movement has only been around 2 years. In time we WILL succeed. The 20th century Progressive movement before us prevailed, and we can do it again. Have no illusions, it won't be an easy fight, but it is one we MUST fight. The progressive movement of the 20th century forever changed politics (for the better) and had a lasting legacy that was ultimately gang-raped by Raegan and Clinton. Keynesian economics was at one point a standard, (Teddy R., W. Wilson, FDR, JFK, LBJ) but now it's demonized as ''communism.'' Time to shift the paradigm back LEFT!

  3329. I feel that the statement of the DNC having a fundraising problem is a null point. A fundraising problem for whom? They've made it clear that they are not a party for the people. The DNC wrecked our chance at having Bernie Sanders our president. I don't think they deserve your advice. Also, I really like all your videos and thoughtful analysis, very glad I found your channel.

  3331. Almost everything Shumer said to do, was exactly what Waters was recommending. She just didn't say one had to be nice about it . I agree with Waters and you David. 60 to 80 million died ending a failed, flawed rational, pursued by the first Trump in 30's/40's Germany. NEVER AGAIN NEVER AGAIN! NEVER AGAIN! NEVER AGAIN! NEVER AGAIN! NEVER AGAIN!

  3340. I live in the UK and I DEFINITELY saw it coming!...I absolutely wondered in disbelief at how long the Conservatives thought they could get away with the level of Austerity they were inflicting on the working class of Britain. Theresa May's campaign for election was to say the least dire! How detached and far removed she was from the electorate that she thought the whole thing was about Brexit...Wrong!...the referendum was about Brexit...the election was about US ..it was about our needs..our health service ..our education service..our social care service..and also...it wasn't just the younger generation who voted..never underestimate the grey voter!..Dementia tax..cut in pensions..removal of winter fuel allowance..there was the alchemy! I LOVE Jeremy Corbyn..I love the fact he is tough..he has spent the best part of his Political career on the back benches..attending rallies and protests on weekly basis..always supporting the underdog..he has been MP in his constituency for the past 34 yrs..his home..lifestyle to say the least is modest..people can RELATE to him..he's one of "US". You are right.. he will be elected.. and he will serve as PM.. and he will be remembered as a fine Prime Minister.Watch this space x

  3341. You're 100% right. Senator Obama was a likable guy who was worried about the national debt, immigration enforcement, and rooting out corruption. That all changed when he became President. Oops.
    9
  3342. Most of my family is a mix between centrist and progressive liberals and those who are sort of both. We get into some heated political arguments and everyone gets mad... Lets just say some of us get our news from TyT, Secular Talk, Democracy Now, Ring of Fire, The Humanist Report, The Intercept and some of us probably never heard of any of those outlets and get most of their news from the New York Times, Washington post, NPR, and Sam Harris podcasts. I am sure some of you can imagine what Thanksgiving is like. Lots of arguing but pretentious liberal arguing. There has to be at least one meltdown per family get together.

  3343. Not to sound sympathetic, but these types of things always make me wonder what went wrong in their lives, I just can't imagine being that much of a piece of shit
    9
  3344. Exactly. I really want to trust Greenwald, but he relentlessly attacks Democrats (not that he's wrong in doing that) and at the same time pulls punches when it comes to trump, the republicans, putin etc. The point isn't that he's wrong in his criticisms, but does plenty of speculating when it comes to the guilt of his list of villains. I saw him on Tucker Carlson and it made me nauseous. Carlson is a disgusting dilettante, racist, sexist homophobe who pretends to be an aly of the working poor; to hear him fawning over Greenwald's criticism of the Bidens made my skin crawl. I'm not looking forward to a Biden Presidency and seeing the Clintons parading around in the Oval Office again, but we must remove the cancer before anything else.

  3345. As someone from Britain it would be absurd if someone used King George III or the Duke of Wellington to argue a political point today.

  3346. As a Quebecer, I've got a couple of things to say. First of, let's note that the Quebec's liberal party is the right wing party in the assembly, let's not fool ourselves. Secondly, this is important to note tant a couple of years back the Parti QuƩbƩcois tried to ban all visible religious symbols for public employees, not reciepients, which actually would be king of secular, I think it's unessessary, but as a quebecer I know how people hate religion here, not just ''other religions'', all of them, so I get where the sentiment comes from. What the liberals tried here is to implement religious neutrality, not the saparation of church and stat, but neutrality which is different. They tried to end the debate but haven't because their law is really dum. You gotta understand, with winter, it is sometimes a necessity to have your face covered in quebec, believe me. This is now a law that can be implemented, it's realy dumb. thirdly, it is interesting that the Liberals did this because they are the party taht most imigrants vote for, and they usually feel targeted by those mesures. The liberal party isn't a xenophobic party overall, they just wanted to close a debate but ended with a dumb law. Finally, it is very very important to understand the views people have of religion in quebec. Recently I saw a poll stating that only 34% of people believed in God, that's realy fucking low. The catholic church fucked us up so bad we ended up hating every thing reminding us of religious control of people. This anti-religious symbol sentiment is not all racism and xenephobia, English Canada tend to judge us very rapidly without trying to understand our history and culture and it gets really fucking frusfrating. And btw, for fucks sake, take the old fucking crucifix down my assembly.

  3350. Thank you for not feeding into the misinformation and naysaying about this matter. Some refuse to believe what has happened here is a massive change for the better. Superdelegates can no longer vote on the first ballot. There is never a second ballot. This means the superdelegates are practically a non-factor. And no, Tom Perez is not going to cancel the primary results and nominate a different candidate. Believe Nomiki Konst, this was a long and hard fought battle and progressives won. There's more to do, but the superdelegates are no longer any threat if you thought they were to begin with.

  3353. Trump is using the present difficulties in the NHS as a definitive argument against the provision of health care in line with his own point of view. He is NOT a politician and certainly doesn't act like one. Government by tweet is very immature and based upon opinion not fact, Trump snatches sound bites and presents them as irrefutable facts. The NHS may be having some problems at the moment but it has saved my life at least twice and my wife's at least once. I don't need convincing of its worth.

  3354. This is one of the issues where I'm speechless when I read the comments on my "liberal" newspaper's website. Everybody's basically saying it's the Palestinians' own fault for getting shot, and the Israelis are just defending themselves. Cognitive dissonance! Thanks for being a voice of reason.

  3357. Megyn Kelly is always saying something that can either be racist or extremely ignorant, she has a long history of this. Is she, as a person, racist or ignorant? Who knows, but honestly, she doesn't really deserve a national platform either way. Neither descriptor makes her a good person to give us the news or political commentary and I'm tired of hearing that having standards makes me "too PC."

  3358. I really appreciated what Mr. Roland Martin explained - and when he stated "there is a big difference between His-Story and History! So aptly put! I am a 71 year old Canadian - who - just a few years ago, learned what was done to OUR Indigenous peoples when a Tuberculosis Epidemic began to decimate their population - our Government at the time, did basically NOTHING about this - because it was assumed only our Indigenous population was affected, so what the hell, let 'em die off! However, WHEN this terrible disease ALSO began affecting so-called White people - well then, MY GOD, the Canadian Govt. at the time "We have to DO something"! They then made sure the Indigenous people had their own hospitals - the whites had THEIR own hospitals! When it was discovered that a certain experimental surgery, which entailed the removal of a rib - DID NOT work - Doctors stopped doing this to patients in the so-called White Hospitals within 6 months! In the Indigenous hospitals - this failed experiment was STILL PRACTICED for THREE YEARS!!! THIS is why, to this day, you can still see some Indigenous Elders who were subjected to this disgusting practice - they appear slumped or not fully upright. I WAS NEVER TAUGHT THIS HISTORY IN SCHOOL! WHY NOT!!!! I am SURE no one is taught THIS or any other UGLY CRAP our Canadian Government has practiced -- anywhere in my country. WHY NOT!!! THIS IS PART OF OUR HISTORY - instead we are taught his-story or their story! This is DISGUSTING!!! How can ANY COUNTRY learn, grow, and advance toward a more peaceful, respectful understand of so-called "others" and become truly ONE, as a nation, as a global entity, as anything humane - IF WE ARE NOT TAUGHT THE FAILINGS OF OUR OWN GOVERNMENTS!!! PEOPLE EVERYWHERE, whatever our nationality - learn from our mistakes - not our successes! I am FURIOUS at my Canadian education - and at ANY country's educational system that does NOT teach TRUTH! TRUTH IS POWER!!! I want TRUE HISTORY taught in every single one of our schools - right across Canada - THE above and every other UGLY Piece of History is our RIGHT TO KNOW as citizens of our country! TRUE HISTORY - NOT HIS-STORY.

  3359. Thank you for your fair critique of this discussion. Everybody else has been unfairly knocking Dr. Dyson. So far you are the only one who has given an intelligent and fair assessment of both Dyson and Peterson's debate. Again, thank you. I subscribed and looking forward to hearing some more from you. GiGi.... I have a question for you, how did you get so woke???
    9
  3360. We need a true democratic socialist to head the NDP. She advocates for nationalizing certain sectors of the economy. The best plan I have heard of hers is establishing a crown corporation (government business) to manufacture generic drugs. This is the type of thinking we are missing in the political debate in Canada. We don't need another Tom Mulcair centrist. I fear that the NDP is going to play it safe again with someone like Singh. I also fear that people will just assume Niki is too young to be Prime Minister. Bullshit.

  3361. This is an embarassment. Why the hell can't we invest all this money in renewable energy. I will do whatever it takes to assist the people out there protesting this pipeline. I wish I could afford to fly out there and do it myself.

  3362. I hate playing the race card but lets think for a second here. A group of black liberal men are kicking someone who is already down on the ground. One of them is waving around a sword. Police are present. How does this play out?

  3363. Well in a way it would probably be best that he doesn't know how to get a bill passed.

  3365. Exactly David! (around 10:40) People who need money, when getting it, put it right back into the ''Economy''. Proven and so obvious.

  3366. I am concerned that so many Americans do NOT know WTF is going on TODAY in AMERICA! WAKE UP AMERICA! Thank You! DAVID DOLE!
    9
  3367. So spot on David! I found this particularly frustrating because Sanders is pushing for a policies that would align the US closer to our system - and Trump rather, the opposite. It makes me question what Canada would look like if Harper had absolute power over our laws, and if his time in office was spent pushing so hard away from our deepest rooted policies. I often think the the conservative movement in CA is moderate compared to the US conservatives, but I'm beginning to question that (esp. in these days of FordNation). Will be subscribing on Patreon as soon as I can!

  3368. Don't give excuses for your topic Dave. You are doing great work and give clear and honest coverage of (mostly) important issues. Every once in a while covering a less important issue is good for diversity šŸ˜‰

  3369. The NDP are the only party that can steal Liberal and PC votes. Wynne has a 12% approval rating and there's a massive group of voters who's main reason is to oust her, the NDP/PC swing vote is much bigger than the Liberal/PC swing. The NDP are the only ones who can dig into that 44%, this isnt me being partisan, all polling backs this.

  3370. That thumbnail is great. šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚

  3371. Thanks David, you and Cory Booker changed my mind on Trump's comments. I see why people would find them so offensive when facing down death threats on a daily basis. It is also nice to see our leaders speaking out and not just the endless drone of SJWs on the Internet who have long since lost their credibility flying off the handle over every misspoken word. I'd love to see this kind of discourse become the new norm, such that when someone is upset they speak out complete with an argument and well-reasoned points as to why something is a problem instead of just screeching I'm offended and hurling back insults. That kind of knee jerk over-reaction has simply desensitized people to other people's pain, not revealed it.

  3373. I'm sorry, but the idea of the government controlling marijuana sales disturbs me a little, especially if they're closing down privately run ones. Consumer goods like this should be regulated intensely, but private businesses at the same time. Sorry, but this is one area where I sympathise with the right.

  3374. i'm named after my uncle. he's a smart guy but he's Stephen Harper when it comes to politics, except more vocal and upfront. he thinks money/the market should determine everything. I choose my times to push back carefully, and emphasize that it's best to disassociate from the whole right-left spectrum. He's often been misinformed, so I correct him on facts and offer other stats. I want to tell him that better democracy is the solution to capitalism, and that people not money should decide things, but I have to break it to him carefully...
    9
  3375. For the longest time I was voting Bloc in federal elections. Not because I want independence or that I think Quebec should have a bigger influence on policies, but because I'm strongly opposed to Conservatives and Liberals emphasis on serving the elite, and that because of our political system, there is no way for the Greens or the NDP to have much influence. Bloc was the party that maximized the influence of my vote towards peace and reducing the wealth gap. With this alliance, I do not regret switching to the NDP last election. If they keep pushing for populism - politics for the majority, not for the elite, I'll keep supporting them. While Bloc has moved towards identity politics, NDP has moved away, which is why I switched last election.

  3379. Went to the Human Rights Campaign channel to see Cynthia Nixon's whole speech. Interestingly, there was only a heavily edited clip which carefully, and completely, scrubbed any mention about economic justice, and focused exclusively on Identity politics. What does the Human Rights Campaign and the former 2016 Democratic Presidential candidate have in common besides just initials ? They have both endorsed Cuomo.

  3380. Captain Skittles so how do you protect yourself from the government (and the US citizens irrational fear that the government is going to take control of them) when the government has pilot-less drones, tank, APCs, hummers with Gatling guns on them and as far as I'm aware, you don't. Don't forget that these people are trained to kill and you are (highly likely) not.

  3382. Your analysis makes sense. Push Progressive policy from the outside & inside, by working to elect Progressive politicians who have not been bought by Corporate interests, Wall Street or Big Donors. There will be challenges, absolutely, "It always seems impossible until it's done." Nelson Mandela

  3387. You may not have ever met Elizabeth May, but I have. She's still the smartest, most articulate, strong, progressive politicians we have in our country. This doesn't sound like bullying. It sounds like a couple of snowflakes who can't handle dissent or criticism. It also sounds like a typical "you'd be so much prettier if you smiled"-type attack on a strong female leader. Thanks David for making this video.

  3388. As a Brazilian citizen and American citizen I cannot thank Bernie enough for this exposure . My country is suffering and lula being in prison is the biggest scandal ever in our country . I was already a Bernie supporter but this almost brings me to tears . Thank you sir, Bernie 2020 šŸ‡ŗšŸ‡øšŸ‡§šŸ‡·

  3393. Thanks man. I like your raw-style kitchen videos. It kinda feels like a conversation with an opinionated friend that I largely agree with. It works. I probably shouldn't spend so much of my time watching demonetized political YouTube videos but since I do it anyways, you're among the best. It's odd though that they seem to have stopped paying everyone that I frequent. It isn't right. They must've figured out that when people have opinions they'll share them for free. It's the people that are paid for their opinions that are the problem.

  3396. We do give certain groups rights -- like charities, religious communities, and corporations. And groups can be held responsible for their actions, as in terrorist organizations, supremacy groups, and companies, etc. The difference, I believe, is in groups coming together vs grouping people together. When people come together there is a purpose, and a shared goal in mind. When people are grouped together it is by association, which is fallacious. Black Lives Matter isn't a group based on race, but on advocating for equal treatment because of the very fact that law enforcement often treats them (individuals) as a product of a group based on race. Jordan Peterson's argument is a straw man.

  3398. I think more Canadians have a better view of the living nature of the constitution because it has been revised and massively changed fairly recently. Depending on your age, you or your parents will remember when it happened. Many Americans have come to see it as some kind of holy document delivered from god, and to consider changing it would be patriotic blasphemy, despite the fact it has been changed several times to reflect a changing country and society

  3403. David you should mention that Andrew Cuomo is massively corrupt. His long time right hand(hatchet) man Joe Percoco, whom he called his adopted brother and "my father's third son" was convicted in US Federal Court for soliciting and taking bribes from people doing business with the state. Yeah Cuomo very vulnerable. Our mass transit systems are breaking down daily and our schools are getting shittier. He is not liked very much upstate because the economy up there is still shit. Remember the Rust Belt extents east from Pennsylvania and Ohio through the Mohawk Valley of Upstate New York.

  3404. I estimate I will have paid about $100,000 in National Insurance taxes over my working life. Those payments covered my wife and children too. Now I'm retired I don't pay the tax. In my life I have had cancer treatment, radiotherapy, knee cartilage operation, emergency appendectomy, and various visits to the doctor for minor ailments. I didn't have to pay anything at the point of treatment. Do you think I got a good deal? Even if I had never had a days illness in my life, I would have been happy to pay, because my fellow countrymen who weren't so fortunate will have had the treatment they needed.

  3405. Done, he's got my vote. All his answers were solid. JT was a necessary move away from the regressive and insular Harper Cons. However JT is a neoliberal, just like Clinton & Obama. They know the socialist lingo, but they're corporatist shills through and through. It's time for the progressive future.

  3408. I voted for Trudeau before I understood much about politics. I voted only on legal weed and getting Stephen Harper out. But I hate the weakness coming out of Trudeau's plan to deal with climate change in particular. Hopefully we can get our country away from this suicidal industry once and for all.

  3409. Another fantastic video- You always break it ( the headline) down clearly. I absolutely loved Michelle Wolf- she was kinda perfect for this year. Isn't the President usually at the dinner to absorb much of the flack his 'Trumpettes' had to endure- then return the banter with a witty response?

  3411. I read a good article today which actually makes the argument that even current Liberal supporters need to vote NDP. The argument being that voting Liberal does not force a minority government for either party but likely guarantees a Ford majority win based on the distribution of votes. https://www.thestar.com/opinion/contributors/2018/06/04/liberals-must-vote-ndp-to-protect-ontarios-progressive-legacy.html

  3412. Why pass a law like this, if not to divide people? I'm a secularist, and I support the removal of religious symbols from governmental buildins, and work. But while riding the bus?? It's unnecessarily invasive and it targets the poor (cause spoiler alert: rich people don't have to ride the bus.

Great content! šŸ‘ šŸ‘ šŸ‘ By the way, just to answer the question posed at 8:22 Conservatives probably, for the most part, would not be on board with collectivised, public internet providers.

  3425. I'm making sure to talk to my 14-yr-old about the current state of affairs, including net neutrality. His friends talk about all these issues, too, which is so encouraging! Regarding the vote today, we knew it was going to happen. My hope was (and IS) that it will be defeated in court, through Congress, or within the states or cities. I'm so glad that my state (Washington) is doing something. But hopefully this will be defeated nationwide....

  3427. I found out about Bernie through Thom Hartmann's show awhile back but it never occurred to me that he would be what he is today. I would think of the guy as a some old dood who have nice things to say but I didn't think much. Nevertheless I still thought the things he spoke about was great if it were to pass. At some point during the election I saw the guy and I was like .."oh shit-he looks familiar..OH! its HIM! I guess he was serious". It was only later that TyT and other indie news started talking about him..about this time was when the wave was gaining momentum.

  3428. Interesting that the downvotes actually don't have many arguments. Two thoughts. 1. On the video itself. The current internet-obsession with "principles" lacks any understanding of nuance or the word "principle" itself. To most so-called free-speech advocates: all speech is equal, all speech should be encouraged, and all speech should be represented in the mainstream. I really appreciated your breakdown of this issue because you hit back against the idea that if one supports free speech, one must also support the subsidization and propagation of that speech or they are unprincipled. This is a false dichotomy and a ridiculous idea in general. 1a. It's very difficult to have this discussion in this manner without appearing to be an apologist for one's own side while condemning the same behaviour of the opposite. While I think you did well, this is a point We - as in The Left, broadly - must make often and must support with as much evidence as possible, logical and experiential. I've been thinking of it in terms of a logical syllogism, which would be ideal, but I have not yet found the simple, decisive, convincing argument I'm striving for. By what method can We achieve this in the same way the absolutists achieve have? 1b. Maher actually is being principled - if his position is that all speech among public figures should be debated, discussed, and criticised without fear of such significant harm to their private life. Just as you are being principled in your own position. He's certainly incorrect on the bullying part, though. 2. The best counterargument against the boycott, in my estimation, is that no mob-mentality should be encouraged in any charged issue, especially when it comes to one's career and health (losing one's job and experiencing public evisceration is certainly not good for one's health). While I may be in favour of certain results, I actually do disagree with the method Mr. Hogg is using to achieve his desired outcome. The Center and the Left are coming together to boycott Laura Ingraham, but what will happen if the Center and the Right come together against a socialist, communist, or "social justice warrior?" This is not a slippery-slope, it is a reasonable comparison, and I believe the result will be the same. Such extreme tactics should never be employed against one's enemies if they do not wish to experience the same in response. Nor should they prod a hungry wolf. Further, Mr. Hogg appears to be advocating boycott of Ms. Ingraham largely in response to her unprofessional criticism of his private life, not due to the views you allege. In my opinion this is a significant tactical flaw, as it allows those broadly concerned with the tenor of political debate to criticise Hogg's escalation of the situation, rather than engaging with the substance of any argument against her show. Thus, I do hope that Hogg and others learn from this and their next target is properly deconstructed, as Nathan Robinson so expertly did in his article on Ben Shapiro ("The Cool Kid's Philosopher"). Great video as always, David! Cheers

  3429. Ryan Matthews I pay 1315 a month for my family of 3. I still have to worry about large deductibles and max out of pocket costs. As for the " socialism" of single payer so is police and fire. It's more about practical solutions than ideology. I had an insurance claim I had to fight to get paid for a mastoid surgery. How about the 25 years I paid in but barely used?

  3438. I used to hold an absolutist position when it comes to free speech, based largely on the notion that ā€œsunlight is the best disinfectant,ā€ as they say. According to this notion, itā€™s better for the common good that hateful ideas be allowed a platform where they can be exposed to public scrutiny and criticism rather than being forced into the shadows where they can malignantly fester without any checks against them. Surely, the reasoning goes, once brought to light, bad ideas will simply wither and die once people realize just how hateful and/or idiotic they are. Well, how terribly naive and optimistic that turned out to be! To the contrary, itā€™s become painfully evident in recent years that all manner of deeply abhorrent ideas and hateful ideologies are remarkably attractive to a disturbingly large segment of the population. With that sad reality in mind, my objections ā€œde-platformingā€ purveyors of hate speech have diminished considerably of late, especially given how weā€™ve seen time and again the tragic consequences of inflaming the worst instincts of some people with hateful rhetoric.

  3440. Jeff Sessions seem to want to be the morality police people and he has no right to. I wonder what skeletons are in his closet, we all have them. People who point out other sins usually have a boat load of their on. He's probably has the alcohol industry as a donor to the republicans and the prison owners as another. I'm so sick of these people trying to shove their religious views on people, I believe in God, but you can't force your views on other, I'm against that.

  3441. I just watched a bunch of your videos, and I'm glad I found you on YouTube. I have watched Secular Talk, TYT, David Pakman etc. and I always wanted to see somebody from Canada doing similar commentary/independent media as those channels but with a Canadian point of view and focus on Canadian politics. I like the style you present your arguments and you communicate your thoughts very clearly. Sorry if this comment is irrelevant to this video :P I wish you success in the new year!

  3458. I think David Dayen's assessment of the nurses strategy is wrong. I think the nurses are wanting to direct the grassroots energy towards single payer, it's like directing a flood - and Rendon decided to stand in the way so they are going through him. Once they have gone through him the will power through the next obstacle and the next until the hit Prop 98, then they will power through that as well I daresay. The establishment Dems have become artful at bleeding the enthusiasm out of the base to keep there donors happy. They passed a similar bill under governor Schwarzenegger because they knew he'd veto it, yet now they don't even put it to vote? If anybody else was doing this kind of campaign I might believe it was political cynicism, in this case I think it's that the Nurses have their hand on the pulse so to speak and understand the grassroots, and the California legislature and system very well. I believe the nurses are also intentionally making an example of Rendon specifically to send a message to anyone else who wants to stand in the way of single payer. Something similar is happening to the IDC in New York state senate.

They even got spending money for transportation and food every month. 4 of the 5 now have DOCTOR degree's and nice, high paying jobs. The 5th has a masters because he didn't want to finish his last year of education. She did have to wait 2 months for a hernia surgery, but only because it wasn't life threatening. She herself had waited years to go do anything about it, so what was 2 more months? FREE by the way, no bill when she got out.

  3495. Its not rocket science. You don't have to be a POC to care about civil rights. You don't have to be a woman to care about women's issues. You don't have to be poor to care about income inequality. To even present this as something printable is an absolute embarrasment. The saddest part is, morons will jump on this as if it's a valid criticism of Bernie. Idiots Ha! When you made the point he didn't even buy it himself...omg. So much seconhand embarrasment for Newsweek, poor dumb little darlings šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚

  3496. Great research and presentation once again. I did not know, for one thing, that minimum wage has historically been calculated according to average wages. That makes so much sense! I am looking forward to when good sense once again rules the world. Thanks for nudging us in that direction.

  3499. As a campaign manager for hundreds of Google Ads accounts, and previous Google Ads agency rep, account suspensions occur stupidly often and can regularly take days to get fixed. I agree it was a big disadvantage for her campaign, but there was likely no foul play. It's possible, but more likely was just a dumb auto-triggered suspension for "suspicious payment activity." At the highest tiers, there's probably people and systems in place to prevent this, but I can't confirm how that works.

  3500. These guys like to portray themselves as unbiased sophisticated arbiters of moral neutrality but they just sound like children. They can't even admit to unconscious bias. It's like they don't live in the real world. Rather one where everyone treats each other exactly the same. You can't have politics without identity. Yeah black people form a large voting block for the Democratic party yet the Republicans are made up almost exclusively of whites. There only seems to be public outcry against to one of these identities. More than that, they've built and monetized an entire industry out of white male aggrievement and they of all people are gonna be protectors against it? Laughable.

  3508. Very intelligent expose of international. law. What many people in the U. S. do not comprehend is that laws are written to deter threats, force, and intimidation. War is anti-thetical to International and internal laws. Congress only have the force-of-law that is given to it by the people and not by operation of law as the Government and the media and several alternative media outlets push. As a legal researcher with over 11 years of contract law and commercial law experience, I can state this with 100 percent certainty.

  3509. David Doel - THANK you for saying what I have been thinking for a very long time now! Any savvy person KNOWS that you aim high and hope for something between medium and sort of high! If you shoot low, you will never get anywhere close to medium, much less HIGH!

  3510. Lov ya. Dont know ur name, but been listening to ya for a long time and know ur in Canada. Ty for fighting for us. My neighbor is my friend, and my friend is my army. And we will take the fight however we can get it (Manning). We need ALL kinds of fighters...

  3511. The protest is about awareness to police brutality / Seems the narrative is being changed .....

  3512. Oh crappola ! As much as I appreciate theĀ generally on point observations and humor of Bill Maher, he misses WHY Hillary Clinton was so bad. She was a shitty candidate that had LOST previously to a basically unknown in Barack Obama. Usually, itĀ had been the Republicans that run the previous loser ( Dole '96, McCain 2008 ). People knew EVERYTHING about HRC in 2008, and rejected her then. HRC also ran BOTH TIMES as the 3rd term of Bill Clinton ( that also lost with Gore 2000 ), and NOT as the 3rd tem Obama. That would have been Joe Biden, who most likely would have prevailed against tRump.

  3514. Still loving your work, David! 41k is nothing to scoff at.

  3515. It's absolutely ridiculous that you don't have 100,000 subscribers at this point.
    8
  3516. Excellent video David! A lot of the research that you presented in the beginning, I wouldn't have even known about until I watched this video.
    8
  3517. Oh what I would pay to see Michael Brooks dunk on these clips
    8
  3518. I completely agree with you about Mike Figueredo. Ā He's really been on top of this issue. Ā I'm subscribing to your channel because you seem to be on the same wavelength as him and you are in Canada. Ā I'm in California, in my mid-forties, and voted for Bill Clinton in 1992. Ā I got so high on the Democratic National Convention that year, I thought FOR SURE the whole Reaganomics thing was going to be turned around. Ā The first year he was in office, the "don't ask, don't tell" policy about gays in the military was announced. Ā My bubble sure burst! Ā I realized that he was a liar, a cheat and a player like Republicans Reagan and the elder Bush. Ā The only essential difference is that the new Dems would throw a few more crumbs out to people. Ā Now look at the Dems a QUARTER CENTURY later! Ā I voted for Bernie Sanders in the primary, after having registered Green in 1993. Ā I refused to vote for Hillary Clinton. Ā She is symbolic of the rot in that party. I don't want to ramble on any longer. Ā Just want you to know that I'm currently on disability for a stress-related condition (after doing all the "right" things to "improve" myself) and seeing young people like yourself and Mike doing what you're doing gives me so much inspiration! Ā Keep it up, especially for all of us progressive "warriors" that have fallen (temporarily) by the wayside.

  3519. It looks like YouTube is trying to take a bigger share of your earnings. You should be able to dispute this with YouTube. They are breaking their agreement with you. Some algorithm is flagging videos so YouTube can make a lot more money while everyone fights to get their videos monetized again. An investigation needs to happen.

    8
  3522. So glad I subscribed to this channel. Itā€™s the free-thinking sources of knowledge and ideals that lift the veil and disillusions people to that fact that nothing is as black & white as it seems. Itā€™s important to question those in power and keep an open mind rather than submitting to blind loyalty. I think that is something the Progressive Movement has embodied very well.

  3523. More of a socialist but thanks

  3524. Try searching for times Dave has defended pro Palestinian speakers getting kicked out of colleges around the country. Also search for the other free speech ssgss warrior Ben Shapiro, you'll get crickets. These clowns don't really give a shit about free speech, is all an act.

  3530. Dude throwing out "billions" in expenses for human survival in his bs argument yet the GOP is willing to add hundreds of billions into the military budget, and bleed out TRILLIONS on 7 or more foreign interventionist wars. LOL. Oh yeah, trillions for the rich class in tax cuts, and billions on bail-outs for the banks etc, as AOC said.
    8
  3531. Indeed. Once again, I appreciate your rational approach to this matter. As Nomiki Konst said on twitter, Donna Brazile is not in leadership. She has been in the past, but at this point, there's really nothing she can do. Perez supports these changes. The Rules & Bylaws committee, which had no Berniecrats, actually went further than the Berniecrats were able to in negotiations in the Unity Reform Committee process. People do not understand the process and how this all went down. As for Donna, she even reiterated on twitter the point that the superdelegates have never overruled the pledged delegates. She just feels unappreciated or something. It's not a big deal.
    8
  3532. Thank you for talking about Jordan P. His views are so toxic.
    8
  3533. Also a lot of people sadly don't want to think about negative stories that affect "other" people, like Flint. The Roseanne thing is more entertaining than talking about dead people or people in poverty.
    8
  3534. Melvenia Myles more bs YouTube comments
    8
  3535. Well done David, one thing that came to mind hearing this message is how even the poor and marginalized can buy into this terrible message that clearly goes against their best interest. I say this because I work a very blue collar job, no one here is making much money but too often I hear my colleagues defending the rich and powerful with this exact Republican argument. If interviewers don't pose a counter argument some people will take it at face value unfortunately. MSNBC is well aware of this. Manufacturing consent 101.

  3537. Thanks for covering Paulette Jordan, David. My home state of Idaho desperately needs the breath of fresh air that she would surely be. We've been run into the ground by stale old conservative white men for too long now. Idaho is largely ignored on the national stage, so this is exciting - I was so happily surprised to see she had won!

  3539. Thank you, great job! Don't forget Brett's testimony about him being legal to drink in Md. during high school. He was 17 when the laws in Maryland changed to 18 the summer of 82. He was not grandfathered in. He openly lied about that too.
    8
  3540. I remember the outcry of passing out clean needles at the beginning of the AIDS crisis. "Let them share needles and pass AIDS on to other addicts and die!" was the response by many in the USA. When it became obvious that hemophiliacs and transfusion patients were dying from AIDS as well, somehow that convinced more politicians to come on board with clean needles. But hundreds and thousands of people have to die first--people that rich, white folk generally don't give a sh*t about. Please, don't vote for Doug!

  3541. @CD80 Jimmy Dore....really? The griftiest grifter who ever grifted on this planet... According to everything i know about and witnessed from Jimmy Dore i can say with certainty that there's nothing TYT or Ana need to be called out for. If Jimmy Dore told me it's raining outside i would leave my umbrella at home.

  3543. Britain has declared Marijuana a medicine...which in fact it is. Cannabis is an herb. The Canadian government STILL considers it a dangerous drug. So - crappy government controlled stores will be legal (so-called)...yet, MORE money will be needed to police everything concerning Marijuana. This makes no sense at all. However, it does mean our taxes will go up, we will still be considering a medical herb in the same light as heroin, cocaine, etc....and people will STILL be put in jail for having it on their person. This whole thing is a ludicrous joke. What a waste of time. Bet the big pharmaceutical companies are rubbing their hands in glee!
    8
  3544. Thank god conservative danish ppl donā€™t blatantly lie! Iā€™m a European! I had cancer! I suffered in Los Angeles for treatment! I went to U.K., and within 3 months I was cancer free! The waiting list as rightly pointed out is demonized illegitimately! The waiting list is for those who can wait, in order to ensure those whoā€™s illnesses have to be treated immediately get that treatment and lives are saved! Thatā€™s how a civilization works dumbasses!
    8
  3545. I don't see identity politics as always bad. Acknowledging that certain minority groups have a disadvantage due to discrimination and forming policy to correct that, isnā€™t a bad thing. Do I think DEMS have been overly focused on it ?...to an extent, yes. But I don't see it as inherently bad.

  3546. Teenkitsune Only for a month or two than he slowly decrease in relevance. The only people that will see him as a mayter are his fans, not the general public who disgusted by Jones.

  3547. Ro Khanna and Tulsi Gabbert in the house came out against it while Bernie Sanders condemned it in the senate. What happened in Gaza bothers me very intensely as does the feelings of anger at betrayal of the people of Iran and the dreadful plight of the people trapped in Yemen where there is an ongoing genocide being carried out against them. I feel for those in Syria with their country in shambles and endless bombing makes their lives so insecure. Need I even go on about shameful attacks in the middle east.

  3549. I think Alain de Bottonā€™s insight is very true. Although theyā€™re not news, vlogs share the same ā€œidentification-inducingā€ qualitiesā€”I watch a few (from Asia, mostly) regularly and actually do care more about what happens in those places where the vlogs take place. Whatever problems YouTube has, it and other media-sharing platforms have made an almost inadvertent contribution to doing what de Botton suggests.

  3550. Nice shirt ;)

  3551. David, thank you. I hope you can do more commentary on Canadian politics, I understand your main demo is prolly American. But I feel like there's no Canadian perspective at all so I appreciate this.
    8
  3552. ffs we still aren't letting her off for the leaked question? She's more than forgiven in my eyes.
    8
  3553. 5:26 Yeah, unify progressives & Democrats behind Bernie.. that was the whole point.. Clinton was never really an option to many folks.. We needed something new. We got it, but Bernie Sanders would have been a positive step instead of a negative one with Trump.

  3558. Outstanding journalism here. Thank you for taking the time to get past the headlines and being honest and fair in your reporting.
    8
  3559. The current Trudeau hasn't particularly proposed real policy changes on the basis of 'multiculturalism'. The suggestion of 'Trudeau's multiculturalism' is probably directly referencing the father Pierre Elliot Trudeau's multiculturalism which led to the Charter of Rights and Freedoms and the language protection rights that we enjoy today, some of which have been used by Quebec to protect French language signs, while other places have used these laws to protect their right to do business in Italian, Mandarin or Portuguese or Punjabi other immigrant languages thus serving the part community that the larger companies leave behind. Bernier's rant is just another example of conservatives trying to turn back the clock to a supposed 'golden age' that never really existed.
    8
  3560. Great job, David
    8
  3561. I like you talking about canadian issues, you don't really hear much about that.
    8
  3562. I do find it a bit humorous that the "cancel-culture" the right usually freaks out over tends to be the "free-market correcting itself" (which is something the right props up) to consumer responses to things like harmful stereotypes or people making racist remarks (which is also something the right props up). It points the priorities of a great many on the right, in supporting racist remarks or harmful stereotypes over their economic ideologies.
    8
  3563. Great interview! Heidi's one my favourite public feminists.
    8
  3564. Nita Turner is the best choice.She has always spoken truth to power and seems to be very aware of what the most important issues are, i.e. , decent jobs and decent wages,universal health care,tuition free college or university or trade schools, ending police brutality and reforming the flawed justice system,among others.

  3566. Donald is the epitome of the Ignorance - Unfounded Fears - Hate trifecta. The white evangelicals KNOWINGLY elected a lying, cheating, bigoted, fraudulent and racist sexual predator who said that the scripture that has most influenced him throughout his life is ā€œan eye for an eyeā€ and that he never needs to pray for forgiveness.
    8
  3567. Bernie Sanders is one of the only politicians that stands up for working and the poor people. Now Elizabeth Warren and Al Frankin also fight for us but Bernie is the face. Why doesn't anyone speak about Nina Turner running in 2020
    7
  3568. That guy totally contradicted himself. He said, "America's too dumb to realize we're in a war," then a minute later, he said, "I'm not saying the average American is dumb." Well, you either think the people are dumb or you don't - it can't be both lol. This was entertaining. Good work on these videos, David.
    7
  3569. i think you may be the only online progressive host in Canada. Keep up the good work.
    7
  3570. I agree! I also think our dental should be universal as well as our eye care. The health of our teeth is very important to our overall health, bad teeth and gums use to kill people and can stil make people chronically sick so it should be covered by our healthcare plan. http://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/adult-health/in-depth/dental/art-20047475
    7
  3571. All this jacka$$, IMO, was doing was yanking the chains of millions of vulnerable people who are in desperate need of medical care. Sen. Sanders didn't need to vote in favor of this to prove he supports single-payer, medicare-for-all. #TeamBernie #PresidentSanders #Bernie2020

  3572. Two of my favorite channels. David mike is an amazing person he helps me when i ask him for advice he is a good guy. And David i told you that you where going to blow up you are just to good at doing progressive news I knew it. You and Mike should do more of these you are two of the smartest guys doing this. I hope one day i can reach to both of you're levels.
    7
  3573. Yes! Yes! Yes! You nailed it, David

    7
  3578. Dave Francis no its just a fundamental difference on who you prioritize. Republicans support anything and everything for business in particular big business while democrats support the worker. Ever since this top down approach beginning in the 80s the income inequality gap has skyrocketed. Ppl don't buy this bullshit anymore, nice try tho
    7
  3579. You guys are the best Secular Talk, The Rational National, The Humanist Report, I wish you the best

  3583. I think she'd be great in the House or Senate, and seeing her topple Diane Feinstein would be great -- but she'd have to be open, direct, and unapologetic. We have to stop worrying about "impugning the characters" of people who have none. We need progressives to replace corporatists, and who better than our loudest advocates?

  3584. New to the show, loving the content, will be back again

  3585. Things we could do immediately are decriminalize, then legalize (and regulate) all naturally occurring drugs. But even before we did that, we could make these drugs readily available to people. People hooked on opioids and other drugs could go to "drug dispensing centers" and get a minimum amount of the drug on which they are addicted. This would cause the demand for drugs - from cartels - to DROP! Addicts would no longer have to engage in illegal, immoral or criminal behaviors to get these drugs. By getting a minimum amount of the drug on which they are addicted, they could be STABILIZED!! And during this period of stabilization, outreach workers could meet with them and find out what THEY want and need for themselves and their lives. They would NOT be treated as if they were damaged, flawed or BAD! The problem with so many countries - and the USA is one of the worst - is in the way we approach mind-altering substances in the first place. Our country sends out very mixed messages about them. On the one hand, alcohol, cigarettes and caffeine are legal. All three of these substances can - and do - lead to death in the people who use them. On the other hand, drugs like marijuana, amphetamines and heroin are illegal. Why do we legalize some - but not the other - drugs? Much of it depends upon who is using them. Cocaine was legal in this country back in the 1920's. It wasn't until People of Color and members of other minority groups started using them (and this became known to government officials) that the government decided to make them ILLEGAL!! In essence, our government used the legal system as a means to punish members of minority communities. And once they did this, they could have police pick them up and charge them with a crime for using substances. Once charged, they could throw the book at them and put them in prisons and jails. Once imprisoned, they could use the inmates for slave labor for a variety of companies and jobs. A lesser-known motivation for charging and imprisoning People of Color was to turn them back into slaves. A whole lot of people were not happy when People of Color were freed from slavery. THIS was one, very effective strategy these folks could use to, in essence, engage in slavery practices but NOT have it called slavery.

  3587. Andrew Wilson 1. Nobody ever compelled him to speak a certain way. His whole rise to fame is based on falsehood. 2. Explain how pointing out someoneā€™s race is racism.

  3588. Canadians are far less stressed than Americans. Canadians enjoy universal healthcare, more paid time off, better educational system, and a higher standard of living. Most Americans are on the verge of snapping financially, mentally, and emotionally at all times and thus are far more likely to become extremely violent. Decreasing the number of guns in the USA would certainly help but will not solve the problem of the extreme stresses generated by a society based on malignant predatory capitalism.
    7
  3589. Anecdotal, I know, but this video showed up as "Recommended for you" which your videos rarely do for me. First time was before I was subscribed, and how I found your channel. So all these details which may seem unimportant to others, like what words you use, do actually matter on the evil youtube. ps... Thanks for the great videos on both Canadian, and American, politics, much appreciated!
    7
  3590. Sam Rothschild The point is implicit, but I'll spell it out for you: It's perfectly reasonable to de-platform an instigator of political violence and terrorism, regardless of that instigators political affiliation. Especially for a media entity who might be legally liable for signal boosting said instigator. If anything, it would be un-principled not to do so, considering the human suffering that is being enabled. But let me guess, you're also opposed to twitter and facebook banning ISIS accounts? Free speech, right?
    7
  3591. In my opinion it isn't that Diane Feinstein is 80 something years old, it's that her mind stopped growing, you know, old and wise didn't happen and isn't happening with Diane Feinstein and then there is her lack of integrity, her bought soul & lack of compassion for what's "really" right for the people & then fighting for it instead of fighting for how much $ makes it into her pockets & that of her donors.
    7
  3592. The Corporate Democrats want you to trust their strategy. The same people LOST OVER 1000 seats in the last 10 years. They lost the White House, the Senate, Congress and Supreme Court. Their strategy is CLEARLY not working. What's Sanders strategy? Continue to shine a spotlight on "Medicare for All" which made the "Graham-Cassidy" proposal, LESS palatable. And, hold rallies, ENERGIZE people to call their Senators and protest. Was Sander's strategy effective? Hell Ya!
    7
  3593. Great channel, always good insight into what's going on in my country here in America as well as vids like this that can educate Americans on Canadian politics.
    7
  3594. Shame on Bernie Sanders for running a good, clean primary campaign that focused on the issues people really care about and energized folks who had lost all hope in politics thanks to ongoing corporatism and neo-liberalism that failed to correct the problems facing this country. That fucking prick. He should have known better. It was HER TURN. That's why she didn't have to campaign in Wisconsin and Michigan and the mid-west. (obviously, this is a joke)
    7
  3595. The real problem is when you realize the sheer amount of energy ETH coin wastes in terms of fossil fuels, and that every new NFT ( typically backed by ETH Blockchain) is exponentially worse for the environment. It's actually, believe it or not, a climate change issue.

  3601. What really gets me is that advertisers don't want to be seen promoting "controversial" content, but have no problems advertising on CNN during coverage of the Las Vegas shooting or other tragedies. It's pretty clear where Google/Alphabet/Youtube's loyalty lies and it's certainly not with the creators that make this place what it is. I really hope you can keep on doing what you are doing, you do good work and you don't deserve to lose out on hard earned revenue because of systematic bias.

  3610. Rubin has jumped on the "go along to get along" bandwagon. He has pretty much become a Trumpsucker for profit. There is no doubt in my mind that Rubin desires to suppress voices that do not elevate him and his own personal youtube business. This is the polar opposite of championing free speech. Good call, Rational National.

  3617. He's so quick to dismiss the student activists based on their age, meanwhile he was writing conservative propaganda at 17 . So does Ben think his early writing should have been dismissed or ignored because he was a teenager at the time? As for expertise, well they aren't gun experts but some of them have seen their friends and teachers get mowed down, so I think they have better insight into what and Ar15 can do to the human body than Ben does. He's so full of shit. How is this guy seen as smart? It's like when they hold up Paul Ryan as an "intellectual" because he read Ayn Rand once.
    7
  3618. I worked auto/home insurance....but the reality is all insurance would be better off with single payer systems. We should be getting rid of worthless BS jobs and implementing a UBI. why pool our money for accidents or bad events, for someone to take away millions in profit

I have met Bernie and find him to be an honest, caring person. The fact that he refuses corporate money makes him public enemy #1 with corporate democrats but its the main reason he has credibility with me. You cannot take corporate money (as did Hillary) and pretend you still represent the interests of working people. The two are incompatible.

  3626. Nobody should be doing anything except trying to defeat the Graham-Cassidy bill? Then why's this stupid chick on a book tour and not doing everything in her power to stop the bill? In fact, where she's been in the healthcare fight this past year? Talk about being AWOL on something.

  3629. Biden may have fought for civil rights, but that was in his younger days. Now he seems to be in league with the big banks and the giant corporations. Look at his favoring the bankruptcy bill as an example.

  3630. I think that most of us Canadians, and likely most other people internationally, are confused by this unique and disturbing mindset. US people seem to have an obsession, even a fetish, over their founding fathers and their constitution. They are very religious and behave in a worshipful way toward their lawmakers and their guns. It seems cult-like to me, similar to the dynamic in North Korea where the people are drilled by their leadership on who to love and who to hate and how to think in general. It's a scary thing to have in a neighbour at times, and it seems to be getting worse in some areas. Hopefully, this is not a clear picture of the majority of US people, but it's difficult to tell from the outside.

  3635. Completely agree with you David, you are a voice of reason and that's why I subscribed. I am sorry to realise that among progressives there are so many gullible people ready to buy into conspiracy theories.

  3636. The "Right's" belief in and support for Trump is religious in nature, and this is how you know. He defies each and every moral precept these people at least claim to have and yet he remains untouched by any of these revelations in their minds. He breaks nearly every substantive promise he ever made on the campaign trail. There is no standard that applies to us that also applies to him -- he is above it all. He moves in mysterious ways, and they simply trust that it's all for the greater good. The so-called Left has similar reactions to Obama's broken promises, but nothing like the Reich -- I mean, the "Right" -- has to Trump's lies, misbehavior, corruption, and crimes.

  3639. Heard about you from Kyle. It's nice to have some one finally cover Canadian politics in such a professional way! I'd also like to point out that in early October, the NDP proposed a movement in the House to start negotiating with provinces on implementing a universal pharmacare system. This was in light of Statistics Canada's analysis on the issue. That movement go a total of THREE liberal votes. So I think that this is all noise the Liberals are trying to kick up prior to campaigning and are going to use it to undercut the NDP's platform.

  3640. I never recieved my voting package and could not vote. Never able to fix this in spite of many phone calls. I wonder how many card carrying conservatives were disenfranchised in the leadership race?

  3641. RE: Elizabeth Warren It's not just her stabbing Bernie in the back. It's her backing of the $700 billion to the war machine Bernie is on that committee too. It's her lack of attention to Standing Rock, when she claims to be a Native American too. It's her fundraising with Wall Street in Martha's Vineyard. Is she better than HRC? Certainly. But she's a great cheerleader when she knows Progressives are going to lose.

  3642. cardi is real america, she worked her ass off in her own way and sheā€™s come so far but sheā€™s still connected to the workers and the struggle because thatā€™s where she comes from. i love that people are so surprised that sheā€™s smart! she keeps people guessing lol great video!!

  3648. Meghan is the embodiment of white privilege in the flesh thank you David for showing just how ridiculous Megans grandstanding is. A Somali American who grew up in the worlds biggest refugee camp In northern Kenya (where the poverty indecies are at the highest in the world) to overcoming all those difficulties whilst still being able to stand for office once she became a citizen. Women like Omar have to go through the mud only to occupy acres of empty land in white conservatives' mind space. They could literally be worrying about human rights abuses which they pretend to care about but only become vocal when sustaining their feeble attempt to grip onto power attained through Racism and violence for the last few centuries

  3650. Mike Jo Bari He didn't draw any conclusions, he just stated those facts as valid. As much as I wish race were not an issue, and ignore irrational arguments and cries of racism, pointing out that politics has mostly been controlled by white males is not a wrong thing to do. #1: It's true. #2: The cause of it is in large part racism and sexism (both implicit and explicit, implied and institutional). A persons characteristics besides their moral or rational qualities should be ignored, but that doesn't mean we forget history and close our eyes to any potential vestiges of the racism and sexism of the past. So, we remain vigilant. That's the smartest thing to do in my opinion

  3652. This video is splendid and important history. Premier Tommy Douglas of Saskatchewan, 16 December 1959: ā€œIf we can do thisā€”and I feel sure we canā€”then I would like to hazard the prophecy that before 1970 almost every other province in Canada will have followed the lead of Saskatchewan and we shall have a national health insurance program from the Atlantic to the Pacific.ā€ The Medical Care Act adopting a policy of universal health care was passed in 1966; by 1972 all the provinces and the territories had joined in the plan laid out in the 1966 legislation. Douglas was been named ā€œthe greatest Canadianā€ in a 2004 CBC Television program based on a Canada-wide, viewer-supported survey.

  3653. The old guard love to scream about how the young generations are lazy etc. and I just laugh these kids are informed & resilient. They control a very powerful platform in the internet. They only know a government that's screwed them over no FDR no Kennedy only Bush and Obama who screwed them in favor of the M.I.C and corporations. They finally see a man of integrity which is damn near a unicorn to them. These politicians have no idea of the power these kids have and they're not going to roll over like many of their parents did and vote lesser of 2 evils. I truly hope they are the catalyst to kill the duopoly in America

  3660. I use CBD oil medicinally for my nausea. It's the only thing that's worked (no anti-emetics or anxiolytics or anything else worked). The process of getting a prescription, and then ordering it from expensive government sanctioned medicinal cannabis retailers is retarded though. Dispensaries are an easier and more cost-effective option.

  3667. Galaxy So far as I can tell the Democratic party doesn't have a message. Which is why they are decimated at every level of government. It was Chuck Schumer that decided to abandon the base. Ā ā€œFor every blue-collar Democrat we lose in western Pennsylvania, we will pick up two moderate Republicans in the suburbs in Philadelphia, and you can repeat that in Ohio and Illinois and Wisconsin.ā€

  3668. YouTube owned by google and the American "intelligence" organizations want us to get all information from the 6 sources that they outright control that reports only government talking points and nothing in depth. Don't back down. Please don't become like David Pakman or Cenk.

  3677. You're 100% correct Dave, Bernie is the best honest voice out there, and he never spent money to get people to go after HRC supporters on twitter. Trying to discuss on twitter and article commenters of HRC supporters, who most were female ,who would Block me, insult me, and all manner of cutting off any rational debate. I don't mena they aren't rational but didn't want to discuss unless I was also a supporter maybe, I dunno. I voted for Dr Stein, the best woman candidate.

  3679. Roy, I do believe you are talking out of your ass. "Society is better of with dispensing with that identity politics nonsense and start judging people as the individuals they are." -- cool. Let's all just magically do that enormous society-wide shift without at all addressing historic and systemic inequality or implicit bias because it might make people like Roy feel a bit ooky in their tum-tums.

  3681. So few good takes out there, but this is one of them. It's like people forgot that part of being a progressive is caring about bigotry. The number of so called "lefties" who are making fun of Maza or claiming there are bigger problems forgot that bigotry is supposed to be a serious issue that the left cares about.
    7
  3682. Dr. Lori Smith you obviously don't know how to use YouTube because it shows on your channel all the videos you liked and your whole subscription list are conservative channels... so please don't lie. Thanks

  3683. I live in ND. We have a petition out now to initiate a measure to legalize recreational marijuana. We voted in medical last year and they say it will take another year and a half to roll it out. The state legislature took out most of the measure and changed it.............so the people are pissed off. 64% of us voted for medical and figure we will just legalize it. We have good chance to pass it. We are not sure how our Republican state legislature will handle it given the Sessions problem.

  3688. Glad to hear progressives are making a difference all over the country. This is what gives me hope that things are looking up for those of us that actually care about the average person. That said, your shirt looks like heaven went on a weekend bender, had a few fish bowls too many and puked all over a piece of cloth! Kidding. Really, I am, but wanted to give you s### for the fun of it!

  3689. Thank you for the common sense breakdown of hypocrisy in the republican party. The party that is bought and paid for by big business.

  3690. DJ Al Gore Free college in New York is a sham meant to appease the public. The legislation benefits only a very small sector of the population. I'm speaking from the point of view of a student at University at Buffalo (state school), coming from an extremely impoverished family. You have to be within a certain income bracket to qualify for the scholarship, and then the scholarship only covers tuition costs not covered by other financial aid. This includes federal and state loans. If your coming from a family who can spare nothing to support you, you'll basically not benefit from the scholarship at all, for the reason above, and because much of school costs are not tuition (fees, housing expenses, essential school supplies, etc.). At the end of the day, I still have to juggle full time school (part-timers don't qualify for aid) and a 20-hour work week at my job in order to stay afloat, and my grades (and psychological health) reflect that. That's why Cuomo and the republican democrats in the legislature passed it; because it's a smoke screen.
    7
  3691. I love Rachel Maddow and have watched her show since she began on MSNBC. It was there that I was introduced to a senator named Sanders from the state of Vermont--who was a frequent guest--and where I discovered what it meant to be a progressive, a term with which I was not even familiar. I am grateful to her for that and so much more. I found it stunning that she probed Ronan about NBC. Maybe people of integrity are just getting sick of all the games. Time for exposure, whatever the personal sacrifice required. That's the sense I get.
    7
  3692. Pai is trying as hard as fuck to appeal to millennials by acting silly. its really fucking gross.
    7
  3693. I agree completely about the ad not being so great on it's own. Besides the dark tone and lack of positive goals/policy proposals, I was rather disappointed with the line "We don't need more or better leaders, we need someone willing to fight". I can see what she's going for with it, but the message isn't strong logically (better leaders are those willing to fight). I haven't been found her to be a strong speaker in the past, so I feel she generally has a lot to improve on. All that said, I very much hope she can get there. She certainly has proved herself trustworthy. I hope this will be recognized through the smears that are coming.
    7
  3694. LMAO NOT THE SOUND EFFECT!!!! Dave, sometimes your coverage on somethingā€™s irk me but Iā€™ll admit I never busted out laughing until today. Thank you for that! šŸ˜† šŸ˜‚ šŸ¤£

  3695. David your awesome man! I have always listened to Ben Shapiroā€™s videos. And Iā€™ve always seen through his BS. He does use his fast talking to intimidate and confuse people. I think thatā€™s why he is difficult to debate. But when you slow his crappy nasally voiced videos down you do realize how much of an elitist he really is. Also how full of shit he is! Any how, keep up the good work brother!

  3696. On point

  3697. As Mr. Trudeau loves to so persistently remind us, "it is the year 2018". So it is definitely the precise time for the federal government to not only take action on medical prescriptions and dental health but also address the lack of mental health policies so desperately needed in our "modern society".

  3698. This was hilarious, Thank You. I needed that laugh.

  3699. Chris What you have just said here is about as far away from the reality of whats happening over there as you could possibly get. You use the words "threatened by the Palestinians" Just look at who's killing who and in what numbers, when you've done that, look at who's getting killed . Does a child walking home from school playing in the street sound like threatening behavior to you, because that is also who is being murdered by the Jewish state. Look at the clips again of the latest killings what % of the people from Gaza are throwing rocks. Answer very few. You seem to be saying that makes it ok for the Jewish state to behave like this. Don't justify this slow genocide, call it out for what it is.

  3700. One thing about Finland that really impresses me is that fines for traffic violations are based on income rather than a flat amount that some can pay easily while others can end up in debt. Just imagine if we all paid exactly the same income tax. Would that be fair? Of course not! So why is it fair that we all pay the same amount for traffic fines? And we know the wealthiest people sometimes won't be required to pay anything all just because of their social status. If this doesn't indicate that the U.S. favors the rich over the poor, I don't know what does.

  3701. They can definitely win if voter turnout is high. Low turnout is the main reason for so many Republicans getting elected.
    7
  3702. Ty for this video. I appreciate your ways of thinking - it's very insightful. I did feel like more people would sleep under Biden, but that implies a lack of belief in our movement overall. Either way, unless trump grabs a dictatorship, the older generation is dying off and eventually change will have to happen.
    7
  3703. Amazing research, I had no idea this is what MSM meant they have a way to make things look way more bleak than they actually are. People need to understand this, and your research and reporting is exactly what we need.

  3711. Reed honestly believes that HRC lost the election because of Bernie... which is completely wrong. Sanders voters would have never voted for her anyway. How incredibly entitled or just stupid the elite & the corporate owned media monopolies think they can try to smear the most popular Senator and expect us to vote for the two most hated public figures for POTUS?! Really? Plus now there is independent media at our finger tips so the masses are seeing past the bias owned medias BS narratives and lies. True Story.

  3715. This news story is like so many news stories that the media uses to control public sentiment and public opinion. In 2010 Barack Obama authorized the assassination of an American citizen, in Yemen. This citizen wasn't charged, or convicted of any crime. This goes against US law and policy. The administration was sued by the ACLU but nothing came of it, the issue was a minor talking point in the 2012 election. There are laws and protections that are supposed to prevent the government from illegally entering your home, seizing you property, and imprisoning ANYONE of us without just cause, much less terminating a human life. Omar Khadr is a born Canadian citizen. Like every other individual on this planet, he has the right to his beliefs, religion and to pursue those beliefs as long as they don't infringe on anyone else's rights and freedom. The Iraq war and every other war since which the US has spearheaded in that region has never been supported by any Canadian Prime Minister, except the Conservatives under Stephen Harper. While I might not agree with what Omar Khadr did in going to war, regardless of which side, he is entitled to follow his conscience and his God. After being captured as a child soldier he was taken to Guantanamo, tortured denied his basic human rights, and left without the protection of every Canadian citizen, which is guaranteed by our "Charter of Rights and Freedoms" because of his beliefs, and the side he chose to support. The Stephen Harper government basically left this child to die. If this was a child captured by the Germans in WW2, and the possibility to return this child to his homeland presented itself, it would have been done without a second thought. The Honourable Prime Minister Justin Trudeau did the right thing in acknowledging and righting the abuse of a Canadian citizen. He made sure the laws and rules of our Charter of Rights and Freedoms are applied to every citizen, and it isn't determined by your religion, your ethnicity, or any other affiliation, than you are a Canadian citizen. I don't believe in, or support wars, but the media which is controlled by entities who feel it is appropriate to take away peoples rights in the court of public opinion and have their causes supported as wrong as they may be, needs to be addressed.

  3718. Negotiating with your enemy about the terms of war is a common thing to do. It doesn't necessarily mean you're having better relations so I can understand why Maxine didn't want to get bogged down, but yes Maxine calling Tracy right wing shows how little TYT is known in some circles unfortunately or she just doesn't care. It's the same with Liberals who call anyone who didn't vote for Hillary, to be a Trump supporter. As far as I care about Maxine's shove, she was walking away in a "talk to the hand" mode.

I don't always agree with David but i have a lot of respect for you buddy. And from a fellow Canadian who is trying to spread the progressive msg. I want to say thanks for that honesty

  3723. In England, I'd be considered a hard far right conservative, however, I am a centrist who has lots of beliefs that are both on the left and the right, but the main thing I love about this channel is that it's constructive and explains points that differ my own and I still feel like somehow there is a possibility that in some ways I'm right in certain situations and you're right in other situations.
    6
  3724. I feel that in general Americans are sold on single payer. The progressives online seem to still be pitching single payer when the momentum is already on their side. The issue is the establishment and how the donor class is who the elected officials are responsible to. In addition the corruption within the two party's. Look at what happened in California with the Dem leadership and subsequent shelving of the single payer bill that was making its way through the process.

  3727. David...most people know what your saying. But the people in America...we've been conditioned to not expect anything from our government, even if we would love it. We have to fight to even protect the decades and decades old policies we already had, let alone expanding anything. Its a sad situation because it was not always this way, but powerful forces have forced a narrative for many years about privatization and the power of corporatism, and its hard to break that which it infects every layer of your society, from healthcare, to energy policy, to unions, workers rights and pretty much anything having to do with leading a successful life for the average person. Bernie awoke a hidden beast in American thought that was dormant. If he had not joined in the primary, Hillary would be President and we would not be talking about single payer healthcare, medicare for all and a leftist populist ideology. But because he forced those messages, he broke the illusion of the democratic party as the people's party.

  3735. This is exactly what I've been talking about a long time ago. The labels should be gone. We should get past the fearmongering and adopt policies that works for our current situation no matter if it's from a conservative ideology, socialist ideology, or communist ideology. Stop romanticizing capitalism the same way communists romanticize communism and marxist ideology! It has its use, but it doesn't work all the time and it doesn't always apply in all situations! Learn to be flexible and care more about the people!

  3736. Ā @jbennett8030Ā  - Then consider yourself someone from a position of privilege who have not read my post thoroughly, nor have a profound understanding on the concept of free speech. Not once had I mentioned government intervention, in which where the idea of the free speech is where it would play a significant role on the lives of many, including you. You may want to hold off the fallacies.

  3737. Even though I'm not surprised it got passed today, I'm sick to my stomach. The GOP has no morals, shame, or basic human decency.

  3738. Neoliberalism has taken over the economy, politics and thought. It is eroding -no, destroying -culture and all that is worthy in human nature. It is a future without a vision or anything of substance.

  3739. Dyson did a great job here in the debate. No one is brave enough to call this pseudointellectual out on his bullshit. JPs argument about "what percentage" is ridiculous. It's akin to saying, "How much black paint do I have to apply to my face before it becomes black face? Does a dot count?" It's a mindless retort, and completely obfuscates the simple realities of race relations in the US. Privilege is obvious to anyone who has any sense of how the world works. I have had a tough life. And yet, I understand that my personal circumstances in life would be even harder had I possessed melanin in my skin. I wouldn't retort by saying, as Peterson has, "you know nothing about me or my background!". It sounds so childish, and intellectually dishonest. How is this so difficult to understand? You have to be oblivious not to notice. It's no wonder why Dyson exploded as he did. Although, his explosion was precise and cutting. So you have two options, either blacks are genetically inferior and that's why they suffer. Or, everyone is pretty much the same, we are all the same species, but some struggle more than others for psychosocial reasons. Since race is meaningless in the study of anthropology, since there is more genetic differences within a racial group than opposing racial groups, the answer is clearly the psychosocial option. Identical twins given to poor and rich foster homes had different IQ scores; The twin living in the rich household had 10 IQ points higher than the twin raised poor. We know how IQ is affected by environment. It's why no scientist would claim that IQ is only a genetic factor but of various factors. Btw, when is JP going to that church with Dyson?

  3740. Omg thank you! I've always felt this way too!!!

  3741. I am an Ex-Pat living in Switzerland and was wounded by my Trump supporting brothers when I said something after Sandy Hook. My daughter and her friend decided not to take a road trip to America since they thought Americans were too crazy. I always wondered why a Canadian was so interested in American politics and life, but I see that your opinions are very interesting. The gun nuts always point to Switzerland about guns since it is a national sport to shoot rifles. But I think that the Swiss are heavily invested in weapons manufacturers and so they probably are behind the inaction. America has been taken over by foreign influence, but Putin has nothing to do with it. Look up in your history books about the Trilateral Commission. Good on you David, my hearts and prayers are with you, but I will also send you some dinero.
    6
  3742. I agree with you about teachers. When I was a kid I had no problem going to school either. But, my friends and I always wanted a B-B Gun. I think most 'adults' today only need a B-B Gun to satisfy them; because they never grew up! Kids are happy with video games.

  3743. Dude, as a gay man I would never be seen in that shirt lol. But then again, most gay men don't have my country boy look. Glad I could shed some light on it lmao!

  3744. We need more Sidney Powell impressions from Dave.
    6
  3745. thank you for your show :)
    6
  3746. I simply adore your analyses. Others scratch the surface, you go deep and comprehensive. Please don't stop.
    6
  3747. Agree completely. This methodology is a farce, a ruse, a lie. How stupid to politicians and industrialists think we are? I guess it is not a matter of how they feel about us, given they can freely work together directly against our best interest and the interest of the environment.
    6
  3748. Steve Bannon and David Frum are 2 sides of the same coin. One wants to terrorize abroad the other at home.
    6
  3749. He is being paid by a libertarian organisation i assume they want him to be quiet when it comes to leftists. Sellouts dont care about principles.
    6
  3750. Hey David. I was one of the ones that gave a thumb down on the original Kamala video......However, I really do appreciate that you took the time to read our comments and responded with this video. I am a relatively new follower/sub and love the way you explain things. You are so thorough and to the point......I actually just signed up to your patron and am now supporting your patreon monthly. Thank you again for your work and for constructive comebacks. I appreciate you. Keep up the great work.
    6
  3751. Last First How many years have you followed American politics? 37-38 years for me. I agree with Doel on third parties in the US. We don't have a parliamentary system, and we can't build coalition partnerships due to it. Dividing the left from the left-leaning center leaves a conservative/extremist plurality which will win. I also agree with Bernie that we need to build from the bottom up. We are succeeding with this model. Pay attention and you will see that this is true.
    6
  3752. The Rational National lol no, you're at his level man. One of the three leftists I have ENORMOUS respect for, right up there with Noam Chomsky, y'all two, Jimmy Dore and the Humanist Report
    6
  3753. The fact that she wrote a whole fucking book making excuses for herself, while Bernie writes books about policies and helping Americans, well... that should tell you a lot about why she couldn't unify the left.
    6
  3754. I was a democrat progressive. The DNC chased me off. There is no way we can unite with a party that so deeply intrenched with the oligarchs. They have already lost us and yes there is a litmus test for a progressive candidate. They must not have corporate donors, they have to be in favor of the Sanders platform.
    6
  3755. On page 666 of Hillary's book of excuses, blame, threats & delusion she clearly lists The Rational National David Doel for also being the blame for her loss. make sure to sub The Rational National. Great work
    6
  3756. Thank you for being an outlet the wants to improve the party NOT just find a new establishment talking head to push incrementalism. We need bold progressives.
    6
  3757. Americans just like fighting fire with fire. And money.
    6
  3758. TRN - 2 points - thanks for going over comments. I've never seen a show do that. It increases the connection between you and us and among us and our encourages meaningful participation. Many of us have lost jobs, and it is a terrible thing sometimes; and other times, it's a blessing. Don't let it bother you. Get your UE checks and get back out there. You'll find work.. Thanks for a great show.
    6
  3759. I am a supporter of Ben, but he didn't do his research in this rant. He forgot that when Trump became president we took a huge leap backwards..TBH i'll rather raise my kids through the bill clinton and george bushs' eras. Black panther shows minorities kid that if you try hard and if you follow your dreams you can too be successful. Ben is wrong for saying that the message is so we can tell our kids they can be superheros...it's not, it's so we can say not all superhero are white..and if you work hard you can be Chadwick Boseman, not black panther.

  3760. Quebecois are only one generation out of the crazy catholic maniacs theocracy powers given by the "English" to keep the Quebecois in ignorance and keep em docile. Those feelings towards religions don't come out of no where. I resent all the bullshit the catholic have put in my head when I was young. That said, I don't think we should tell civilian peoples what they can or cannot wear.
    6
  3761. Clinton copied Michelle Obama's statement, "When they go low, we go high." The thing is, the only one currently in the public eye actually doing that is Sanders.
    6
  3762. Wait who writes an essay on a shirt? šŸ™„ Btw David, you need to wear your "grandma's curtains" again. Ppl hated but i thought that shirt was dope
    6
  3763. That son-of-a-bitch makes me so glad I live abroad each day. What's most disconcerting is how people can't see right through him. I have Asperger's, and I'm supposed to be socially inept, yet he's transparent to me as a pane of glass. Maybe I'm not so stupid after all. It also disturbs be that he thinks he can act that way on national television. I have never seen anyone in my entire life behave so unprofessionally for a position like this. And this I worry might set the precedent for younger generations in that they'll think it's okay to behave like this and then our values in America will reach rock bottom.
    6
  3764. Very well said, compassionately stated. This is why I can watch one vid after enough, you say difficult things but in a very clear but compassionate way.
    6
  3765. Awesome handling of a mindless heckler. Class act!
    6
  3766. Really digging the faster pace. Your editing is on point as well. You would do really well with a sort of Phillip DeFreanco format. PS: lose the "hi!" at the beginning. lol Go with like a "I'm David (Doel). Welcome to (You're watching) the Rational National." All is well though. Love your channel.Cheers!
    6
  3767. I'm not even gay, but you're handsome bro.
    6
  3768. Go away Hillary, just go away. You lost against an obvious fraud and the most despised person ever to run for president. You are just embarrassing yourself now.
    6
  3769. Thank you Dave, you're doing really good work here. Education is the foundation of society, and you're leaving your mark.
    6
  3770. Republican Lite, jeez I truly hope they don't take that into consideration.
    6
  3771. And then Obama turned out to be, everything he's accusing Hillary of being. lol. Welcome to American politics 101. Wonder why I'm NOT a liberal Democrat anymore? Hellooooooooooo! I am also NOT a Republican/Conservative either. NEVER will be.
    6
  3772. Hey David!! Love the channel! Can't believe you didn't do anything for hitting 500K subscribers?!! Love sexy political nerds!
    6
  3773. High five! šŸ– (that was my comment šŸ˜†)
    6
  3774. I was one of the protesters who walked out of school in protest of Fordā€™s government. Over 150,000 students did so. Thanks for shouting us out. #StudentsSayNo
    6
  3775. You're a little behind the curve. No shit, its paid for with taxes. Education and healthcare is an infintely better use of our tax dollars than pumping it into our sickeningly bloated military budget and bailing out rich people and companies
    6
  3776. Lori Smith, no kidding genius. /s Nothing is free. That's why we pay taxes. Rather than stating the obvious, you'd do better to think about what those taxes should be spent on and compare that to how the government actually spends its money. Most of my tax money is transferred to large corporations for services or products that don't benefit me in the slightest. That's not what I want my money spent on. Health care, something every other modern nation manages through the government (typically with better results than our own, like Switzerland) would at least funnel more of that tax money back to me... the person who paid to begin with.
    6
  3777. Lori Smith, you mistake failed communism for democratic socialism. It is you who should look around instead of repeating Republican talking points. In Europe in every country there is a socialist or socialist leaning party which periodically runs the government with no disruption of society or economy, every country has universal healthcare and most importantly, you will find no conservative party so greedy or stupid to talk about abolishing universal healthcare and adopting the US model. Ask yourself why.
    6
  3778. Great video! It almost brought a tear to my eye. I'm just so proud to be a Canadian, and proud of how we have built such an amazing country. And Bernies right! Change does come from the bottom on up. Politicians need to fear the ppl, not the ppl fearing the government. They need to know that if they don't represent our needs, they will be out on their arse, looking for a new job, and not some cushy lobbying job making 7 figures. So keep pouring it on my American friends! And don't stop until them corrupt arseholes in Washington feel the fear of the populace for not representing their needs. If one of the smallest, (pop wise) and, actually very conservative province in Canada can do this, you can do it too! And it's worth it. I'm yet to meet any Canadian, even extremely conservative Canadian that would want to get rid of our Universal Health care for your system. Once even one state gets it, it will spread like wild fire.
    6
  3779. In the old days they would cut out your tongue. Today they demonetize you.
    6
  3780. Increasing the budgets social programs like food stamps is a sign that corporations and the super rich are taking too big of a share of the profits instead of paying their workers a living wage. This BS of trickle down economics has to be called out each and every time till anyone spouting belief in it is seen as an imbecile.
    6
  3781. Again,Thanks David! Proud to be a Patreon supporter of your channel. You rock! šŸ¤˜šŸ½ā¤ļø
    6
  3782. Thanks I needed that info
    6
  3783. Great video, keep up the good work!
    6
  3784. Yup, right from the start it's been about protesting police brutality, and from the start right wing opinionists has tried to link it to disrespecting the flag and the military!
    6
  3785. You nailed it. Rubin is an act targeting a certain audience. Even his video about Trump and the NFL was dripping with hypocrisy. You have the President of the US telling sports team owners to fire any players who engage in speech he doesn't like. But for Rubin, this is "concerning" but ultimately ok, not a big deal, and maybe even good, because Trump didn't actually use the force of law to make the owners do this. Meanwhile, if some college students shout at someone on a stage, or tell school officials they shouldn't allow certain speakers they dislike, they hate free speech and are the greatest threat facing the country (Rubin actually said this). The fact that they aren't using the force of law either, and aren't in any position to do so in the first place, somehow does not let them off the hook the way it does Trump. It's a joke. He's funded by the Koch Bros and Libertarian orgs to pump out right wing propaganda. And he saw a market for himself in the anti-SJW crowd on Youtube. His output exists to pander to that, not to support free speech in general.
    6
  3786. This latest event has pushed me into full blown existential horror. A literal torture-supporting, military-coup-desiring, homophobic fascist took power and is saying he wants to utterly destroy the rainforest that are the main source of oxygen for the planet...And literal taxpayer-funded news is like "doot de doo, hey, this 'firebrand' being elected could be REALLY great for business! :D". And the second you get mad about stuff like this, the powers that be wag their fingers and go "CIVILITY! You're the real problem here! Besides, both sides do it!" I look at the way the world is turning, and how apathetic or even supportive so many people are of this further slide down this death spiral, and I feel like I'm watching a bunch of people with government-sanctioned-power trying to wake Cthulhu or Azathoth on purpose. I...Don't want to live on this planet anymore. Can we get Mars terraformed within the next 10 years so I can just get the hell away from here before these maniacs destroy the planet?
    6
  3787. J Bennett, no YOU are the one being ignorant. You and your "anything that I say is socialism and facts be damned" attitude are really turning people off to your side. Your blatant disregard for knowing what socialism is verses you mislabeling an ideology for your own ill purposes. Look here to see what socialism is really about: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/socialism And socialism isn't the same as communism. Communism is a system with no state, classes, and NO MONEY. Even the USSR had money. Try to get around that will ya?
    6
  3788. @J Bennett If you look at socialism from the framework of "in practice", you still don't know what you're talking about. Socialism is a broad term. There are many kinds of socialism. Democratic socialism is one form of socialism that's practiced by almost every western country in Europe and also by Australia, which is also in the title of the organization that protested in this video the DSA (DEMOCRATIC SOCIALISTS of Amaerica). What you are referring to is "Communism" which "in practice" IS NOT REAL SOCIALISM OF ANY KIND. THE USSR, China, and other countries that practiced Communism were only socialist by name alone. In reality they were either authoritarian governments or flat out dictatorships. Just like The Everyday Liberal Show stated just stop and get your shit together, because frankly, in this day in age, nobody is being fooled by the rhetoric your espousing.
    6
  3789. As a Kyle listener just discovered your channel today, youā€™re cute, eloquent and smart, thatā€™s whatā€™s called charisma:) keep the nice work dude!
    6
  3790. Matthew Grimshaw I think hes referring to the alleged goal of winning elections for democrats. At that level they are objectively failures, however, they are working as intended to keep and maintain the business model they jave had for the past few decades.
    6
  3791. Good analysis Ā thanks
    6
  3792. It sounds as though the White House literally wrote his speech.
    6
  3793. I wish u did more videos on what going on in Canada ... There are many things happening here that will effect ppl in the states and not everyone is aware.. Not to mention a lot of Canadians know more about what's going on in America vs their own country
    6
  3794. I like this guy.
    6
  3795. Liked and shared vid! āœŒšŸ¾
    6
  3796. David -- You are absolutely right about Daily Kos and Molitsos himself. Many of us who were skeptical at all about Mrs Clinton were permanently banned from Daily Kos. I remember a comment from a Kos-member who defended ronaldreagan! The Daily Kos is a neo-liberal promotional site, and Molitsos is a wealthy person who promotes his own interests, nothing more profound than that.
    6
  3797. Lol then you should have been scared since birth, America IS actually a democracy with many socialist policies... Medicare, medicaid, religious tax exemptions and positioning in politics, SOCIAL security, child protection agencies, Taxation and other transfer payments.... No country can be a true free market and will always have socialist policies Pure free markets/capitalism is amoral and anarchical
    6
  3798. A new David fighting the big ugly guy, just like in the Bible. We need more exposure for your excellent program.
    6
  3799. You are sooo handsome, and you're a progressive. It's a win-win!
    6
  3800. But we do know what the Democratic Party stands for, representation for the rich, and lip service for the rest of us.
    6
  3801. So clear, so well-researched, so thoughtful. This is what journalism should look like. Thank you.
    6
  3802. For the record, I'm SO fucking proud of this generation! Keep in mind that they are now paying attention to politics and the legislative process, and I believe that most of these high school kids will not fail to vote in 2020, because they'll damn sure be old enough. And think about this: there are more of them than the baby boomer generation. So put that in your pipe and smoke it. :)
    6
  3803. We need more honest reporting when it comes to the Palestinian people and Syria. Thank you.
    6
  3804. "...and the media is activating these kids..." No, Ben, their friends getting shot activated these kids. And while school shootings rarely happen in Canada, when they do, and even two people die (as with the city of Taber, in 1998) it's treated like a BIG deal. In America, they practically hand out mass-shootings with Happy Meals, by comparison.
    6
  3805. You are so right! There are more people on the streets, lying on sidewalks than I have ever seen and I am a senior citizen. Regan was a selfish, self serving man, who really didnā€™t care about the average citizens, let alone, the less fortunate. He started this nightmare and Republicans consider this ā€œ business as usualā€. Regan even took college aid from students whose parent died. How low will they go? They cater only to the rich, while making false promises to get votes. I cannot understand how some people are falling for these con artists who are only interested in the wealthy few. We need major changes in our government! Trumpā€™s wifeā€™s jacket displayed Republican sentiments perfectly. They really ā€œ donā€™t care ā€œ. How sad for America.
    6
  3806. Finally, someone talking about this video who caught "West Virginia People." Seems kind of racist to go after Swamp Captain Cocaine Mitch for having a Chinese wife, but not knowing any adjectives isn't the same as calling someone "Chinaman."
    6
  3807. Spot on as usual, David! Thank you! The only thing that bothers me here is when Warren says "fighting." "Fighting" is an old word that serves to divide people. But now, I think the aim is not to divide people but to bring people together. There are lots of other good, positive words that could be used in place of fightingā€”like "working," for example.
    6
  3808. Elizabeth May doesnā€™t support BDS but a few years ago we had a vote in the party and the vote was to support in the membership at the time in greater numbers. She didnā€™t like it but had to acknowledge that the people of the party supported BDS. I wasnā€™t aware the Greens no longer support BDS.I always have made it very clear that they would have no backing from me as long as they didnā€™t back BDS.
    6
  3809. Hi David. Thanks very much for covering Canadian politics. In the last year I've become preoccupied with American politics and I like your perspective on things. I'd be interested to see if there are any other good youtube channels that deal with Canadian politics as I've been unable to find anyone besides you that I find interesting. I don't watch the "traditional" news and follow a wide variety of online new programs. Thanks for what you do David.
    6
  3810. Loved this one... well done. Drilling down into the dates and point by point logical retorts really makes some of your videos my faves. Keep it logical, factual, and policy-based and you'll always have my ear.
    6
  3811. Hey, David, I don't come here for the scenery, but for the discussion. You are beautiful whatever the setting. I appreciate your point of view, you seem to interpret current events with a great deal of common sense. As a Canadian myself, I am somewhat removed from American politics (thank god!) but because it is important to us and the rest of the world I have followed that news for some time. (And also because Trump is so outrageous!) When Bernie came to my attention in 2016 he quickly became the voice of sanity; while Trump and Hillary cast aspersions on each other, Bernie explained his ideas and brought real hope that a better future is possible. The DNC block of his nomination was horrifying. As long as money is the key to winning an election, where the party that spends more is more likely to win, and as long as big money can call the tune once its puppet is elected, the individual has no voice at all. Bernie has made us realize this, and in his dedication to justice for everybody he has shown us that there is a way forward. We have to step up NOW to vote for the people who have been infected with his vision, to infiltrate the monster and deflate it from the inside!
    6
  3812. At this point, anyone who says they are conservative or support conservatives are either ignorant or dumb. Wanna know how you can tell they are dumb they say something like ā€œI know a friend that is...ā€ and ā€œIā€™ve looked into [insert whatever] and it is horrendous [or insert whatever they say about it being bad without any actual fact]. Also they make up bullshit because they believe they are holier than thou. Uses their religion as a moral compass instead of actual logic aka ā€œanal sex and sexting is badā€ because I think itā€™s bad instead of actually educating kids on sex ed. Sex education is important. Anyone telling you otherwise needs to grow the fuck up
    6
  3813. I think the biggest problems get to talk with people that act unacceptable in our culture when we see so many other heads of power act so stupidly or lack common sense, we all only want to put up with so much of it at a time. It's just putting all the anger aside and treat people like there people and solve problems with some understanding but more with the source of every problem one by one with common sense.
    6
  3814. Usually, these videos only reinforce my beliefs, but Iā€™m surprised to find that my belief was changed. I was against identity politics, but now i see that identity politics are important, but it needs to be done correctly
    6
  3815. 1:13 and that's when you know David's about to show the receipts Yes Somebody pls send this video to my girl Emma Vigeland
    6
  3816. Good work again David ! Anything that exposes the alleged ā€œ free speech advocates ā€œ !
    6
  3817. facepalm - Obama's cabinet was literally (by literally I mean actually) chosen by Citigroup. You had Monsanto lobbyists running Clinton's campaign. It goes on and on. Are progressives hopeless and scary, or just more informed, and frustrated at the destruction of the world for the momentary gains of a few? It's not about a "purity" test, it's about not being tyrannical, genocidal and ecocidal maniacs who are killing us all.
    6
  3818. You're absolutely right.
    6
  3819. Is it possible to get an answer from Youtube management to this question: "Are there any videos regarding US foreign policy and Israel, that aren't in lockstep with the official position of the US State Department, that are monitized?"
    6
  3820. I never thought the Conservatives would select a leader worse than Harper, but here we are.
    6
  3821. Brilliant commentary, love the balanced perspective and especially loved the jon stewart tie in. So good.
    6
  3822. Love this show. Such a true, honest analysis of Trump supporters.
    6
  3823. Collection letters...the message is you owe us your money and your vote. We don't owe them shit because they've abandoned their progressive policies.
    6
  3824. 7:50 Davidā€™s KS impression šŸ‘
    6
  3825. Zephyr Teachout is a phenomenal personality. Her stance on corruption builds optimism regarding Cynthia Nixon.
    6
  3826. Thank you for keeping it REAL and I like you and your show. Greatfully for you pushing TURNER, SHE IS DYNOMITE. She is stark contrast from joy reid who is prejudicial.. fact.
    6
  3827. thank you. Fine commentary.
    6
  3828. I agree that this might indicate a turning point, where the 'mainstream' media is finally expanding beyond interviews with establishment types, such as Clinton-staffers, Pelosi, Schumer, and the like. One silver lining to the Trump regime may be that the media has been shocked out of its bubble a bit, and journalists are starting to realize that their job is supposed to be in defense of democracy and freedom of expressionĀ over profits.

  3829. David is MY Rational of the Year!!!

  3830. Dyson took a samaria sword to him. I agree David destroyed is s very rare word but that is what happened
    6
  3831. He sounds fucking awesome.
    6
  3832. Unionville is THEE most corrupt place in Ontario, an enclave for foreign (ie Asian) money launderers and speculators. Why build affordable houses when you can build $1 million condos and mansions that can be taxed at $10K a pop?
    6
  3833. Those goddamn technical difficulties always happening when people start questioning the system or bring up progressive ideals. Looks like we need more deregulation and lower taxes so they afford better equipment.

  3834. I'm 16 and I know how a bill becomes a law

  3835. By ending DACA Puppet-Trump is trying to APPEASE Steve Bannon, Breitbart News, their Donors and followers. Nothing else. Puppet-Trump used to support DACA in 2008, but now that the Mercers are pulling the strings in the WH decisions, things are different. Cheers. P.s.: Cool T-S
    6
  3836. Hey, grats on 60k man. Keep it up! This kind of segment perfectly combats the right's projection in calling Cortez stupid. To disagree with anything she said here is the definition of stupidity.
    6
  3837. The emotion factor brewed in flowery speeches can project a lovely mirage which might not have anything with the reality. Most of such talks are simple platitudes. It's fabulous to entice ppl to improve their lives, but it's more important to seek the underlying reasons as why we are where we are and ppl are in so much distress. Good analysis David, thanks
    6
  3838. Most important video ever.

  3839. You look good in any shirt, David.
    6
  3840. David you are the best. As a gay man thank you for bringing this up. Honestly I donā€™t consume a lot of other channels and I rarely see these types of people you are talking about but what scares me is how many people are consuming this hate. This is one of the biggest reasons why orange head is in the White House. Youā€™ve got a new patron šŸ‘šŸ»

  3841. David Doel -- I have never understood why people think of so many obtuse reasons for voting for one or another candidate. Underneath all the confusing talk about deficits and personalities, we all know that elected officials' actions are best predicted by their party affiliations. In Canada, PCs are the party of the rich, the rich are usually owners of (at least) rather large businesses. The normally want to pay rock-bottom prices for labour, not be restrained by regulations, and not pay their taxes. PCs arrange government to give businessman those conditions. It should not be a mystery that if you are a major employer, you vote for PCs; if you are an employee, you vote against PCs. If the NDP might give employees better conditions, employees should vote for NDP. If a person is living well in a safe job (who has that?) or on Canada pension, maybe he wants nothing to change, and that's the Grit party. I don't know why voters keep wondering what to do every election.
    6
  3842. Its obvious that the NDP got the best leader of the three but Humpty Dumpty (Ford) got one big card. He will cut taxes for the rich. They will pay for advertisements and the less intelligent Ontario citizens may vote for him. Like Trump he probably LOVES the uneducated. The NDP must repeat their main message very often without stop to get it across.

  3843. I work in the animation industry. Back in the 90's, a Disney animator was negotiating his contract. He asked to make, in one year, what Michael Eisner, the CEO, makes in one hour. He was told that they couldn't afford to pay him that much. I think having a maximum wage is just as important as having a minimum wage. I would craft legislation that says the top paid person in a company can not be paid more than 25 times what the lowest person makes. Therefore if a CEO makes a million dollars a year, the lowest person would have to make at least $40 000. That doesn't stop the CEO from making more, if he wanted to make double that, 2 million per year, that would just mean that the lowest paid guy in the company would have to get a raise too, to $80 000. And I just used 25 times as an example, I don't know what the actual number should be, there needs to be some study and evaluation done to determine the actual number, could be 25 times, could be 10, 15.
    6
  3844. Off topic, but I love that shirt.
    6
  3845. I just want to point out that I very much like the pun in this title.
    6
  3846. Dude, your Ben Shapiro impersonsation was fucking hilarious. šŸ˜‚
    6
  3847. Please pass this around to educate those whom will listen. Or wont lol
    6
  3848. Establishment democrats have been making fools out of themselves since 2016 trying to slander Bernie Sanders. Its pathetic and laughable at this point. Sorry Dems, if you want to be relevent again your going to have to give up special interest money.
    6
  3849. Right on!! When someone shows you who they are, believe them. He's a fraud!! He's sounds foolish!!! I can't believe people actually follow him smh.
    6
  3850. 15:56 he did mentioned about dental care earlier... (will try to find the time) but what I'm worried about is that he didn't mention mental care! Is huge problem in our system and a lot of chronic pain/conditions patients are not elegible for disability nor are physically able to work full time so we don't get benefits. Same goes with medications, I sometimes have to go without it because I can't afford it. The situation takes a huge mental toll on you and counselling, cognitive behaviour therapy, and pain management education is needed to be a functional human being. But none of those are covered!
    6
  3851. Its a really insightful observation that we have empathy for those we feel we understand. When our schools and our media do not introduce us to the world, it becomes a barrier to empathy.
    6
  3852. "No good deed goes unpunished"! Bernie signed an agreement in order to run as a democrat which said he would not be tough on her. He honored his part of the deal and they cheated him! šŸ˜” Bernie fell in line even after was cheated. He actually won but didn't speak out because he was so loyal to the DP; didn't want Trump to become president and to protect his family...what happened?? All of the above!! šŸ˜« We would all be better off now had Bernie fought back against the wicked narcissist!! Instead, we got everything he was afraid of!! šŸ¤¦šŸ»ā€ā™€ļø
    6
  3853. Bernie has been consistent on policy...that what the corporate Dems fear.
    6
  3854. Chris Warmuth You do realize the protestors had no weapons right? Only rocks and tennis rackets. Those could hardly be used to kill someone. I would think that if the palestinians were there to cause violence, they would bring actual weapons (i.e. their own guns). Also no IDF soldiers were killed. All the dead and wounded were on the side of the palestinians. Call me crazy but it seems to me like the IDF are the ones inciting violence, not the palestinians This is not the first protest the palestinians made. But every single one has ended the same way. The palestinians peacefully protest, the IDF opens fire and all the resulting casualties are on the side of the palestinians. Even if you think that what the palestinians are protesting is wrong, that is not an excuse to gun them down in cold blood.
    6
  3855. Keep up the good work, David!
    6
  3856. Jason Kenny is a fraud, problem with Alberta is you can trick conservative voters quite easily.
    6
  3857. +Furious Styles -- where's your data on this issue? I found one that studied 20+ years worth of data, and they came to the conclusion of "no". Here you go, the consensus report by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine for 2017; https://www.nap.edu/catalog/23550/the-economic-and-fiscal-consequences-of-immigration In it they state that "the Economic and Fiscal Consequences of Immigration finds that the long-term impact of immigration on the wages and employment of native-born workers overall is very small, and that any negative impacts are most likely to be found for prior immigrants or native-born high school dropouts. First-generation immigrants are more costly to governments than are the native-born, but the second generation are among the strongest fiscal and economic contributors in the U.S. This report concludes that immigration has an overall positive impact on long-run economic growth in the U.S." The immigration policy has absolutely nothing to do with living wage increases; wages have been stagnant for decades, and the lack of regulation on the issue is what lead to the drastically shitty decline this country has been in. That problem has been around waaaaaaaaay before DACA, and way before any significant influx of immigrants. Besides that, I find it odd how on the one hand folks say immigrants hurt wages for the working poor, yet simultaneously fight against any effort to raise the wages of said working poor. Priorities in this country are out of wack.

  3858. This is one of your best videos
    6
  3859. Thanks
    6
  3860. Great clip! Love this show!
    6
  3861. Wow this top news segment is awesome, keep doing them!!
    6
  3862. you are always on target Dave!
    6
  3863. I am glad that I joined your Patreon acolytes...your Jeremy Corbyn analysis was first rate - and your views on Nina Turner are extremely worth taking note of...
    6
  3864. Wow those kind of videos that analyze poll numbers and media manipulation in general are truly amazing and eye-opening, thanks David ! People are really woke now, they can't lie to us as much as they used to...
    6
  3865. We needed this kind of reporting. Tanks David.
    6
  3866. Since the Democrats knew the motivation for the bill amendment and it's ultimate fate, they should have unanimously called Daines bluff and voted "Yes". Not only would Republicans be the party taking away the A.C.A. to give tax cuts to the ultra rich, they would also be on the record as having denied EVERY American health coverage. That would seemingly be a HUGE weapon for them to have in upcoming elections and help win back some that have sworn off voting for Democrat candidates. Seems like yet another wasted opportunity.

  3867. Great to see a well rounded insightful comment on British politics and the media from across the pond.
    5
  3868. Love this channel!
    5
  3869. If it's true that 60% of Americans favor single payer Medicare for all, it's got to be because we understand WHY it's the way to go. The remaining 40% need to be educated. Maybe have panels of people who are already are on Medicare explain how they like it. Ask them to come on TV and tell their individual stories.
    5
  3870. I did shrooms once and after that I was more open-minded and it was easier to get in to politics and look beyond my own personal bubble. Also made me more empathic towards people's struggles. You make some very good points
    5
  3871. Good analysis - we need stronger connection between ALL progressive parties throughout the World - the Corporate Giants are global and influence Govts to push their greed agenda, we need that same reach in order to block them. Good luck mate, you are helping to make that happen.
    5
  3872. amazing summary!
    5
  3873. Wow just found this channel. You're great dude! Can definitely see this channel growing fast real soon
    5
  3874. Good video David.
    5
  3875. Get it Nina. I am definitely #teamninaturner
    5
  3876. I must say, this channel pop up on my Feed for some reason and this video had me very interested...the dems just don't like to say they lost for whatever reason in their mind...the fact that one Progressive vs corporate progressive debating on why the party is unpopular now I have my own views on that but will talk to long to explain...but as a black conservative I do appreciate when I hear commentary on liberals that wants to tell the truth in regards of why their party is very unfavorable with most of their supporters...I don't mind hearing the other side about issues that we can both agree on...I am not a rhino like most...I am open to hearing a great discussion on issues
    5
  3877. I knew it! Almost 15k subs!! You, David, are a keeper!!! Thanks for all you do!!!!
    5
  3878. Glad to hear i wasn't the only one on this side of the Atlantic that watched BBC for hours on end on election night lol
    5
  3879. Didn't know you're a fellow Canadian!! I like you more now
    5
  3880. Corporate democrats employ the same dishonest tactics against the Bernie wing, as Republicans do against Democrats. As a matter of fact, the Republican party is now off the chart, corporate Democrats are what Republicans used to be, and the Bernie wing is what Democrats used to be during FDR days.
    5
  3881. As little as a single contribution is, it makes a difference. Go David, you're making the difference! Keep it up!
    5
  3882. U make me proud to be Canadian.
    5
  3883. Great video - so glad I subscribed.
    5
  3884. There are places in the country that's never heard a true progressive vision. The Kansas special election & Montana proved that. In Kansas, the dem came closer to winning that district since 1994. In Montana, the dem came closer to winning that district since 2000. You just gotta give it a chance.
    5
  3885. you are a hero, post more shit
    5
  3886. The sad part about all these establishment dems "coming around": they're just trying to improve their image so they can get voted back in. If they really cared about the people, their voters, then they would have done better BEFORE everyone started noticing and giving them crap.... I say "Out with them, anyways!"
    5
  3887. great analysis :)
    5
  3888. Just subscribed. I'm super excited that Mike introduced you. You'll be a wonderful addition to my daily news people. Have a great day!
    5
  3889. He's doing the right thing for the wrong reasons.
    5
  3890. Well said mate, from the UK!
    5
  3891. Why is no one talking about overturning Citizans United and getting big Money out of Politics?
    5
  3892. I'll never stop supporting you.
    5
  3893. David, I am going to share this. This video was very rational, easy to listen to and hopefully can reach a lot of people. Let me just add something. I am in my mid 40's. I am not rich. I have never made more than 35 thousand dollars a year in my entire life. Not much right? If I were in my 70's and travelling all over the country and my career depended on me not getting sick and catching pneumonia, i wouldn't consider buying a 700 dollar jacket an extravagant purchase. Indeed it would be an investment in my future. Was Bernie expected to buy a used jacket or something from Walmart? And yes, it wasn't him that bought it like you correctly pointed out. it was a gift. Thank you for this awesome video debunking the hit pieces.
    5
  3894. Part of me wants to give an exposition on the destructive consequences of Trudeau's terrible policies on fossil fuels. The other part of me just wants to summarize the issue with three words: "DIE, NEOLIBERALISM, DIE!"
    5
  3895. More people need to hear your voice Dave, more people need to think about these issues
    5
  3896. Chris Warmuth ...he said on a video about Israeli soldiers murdering protesters. Hamas committed atrocities, but to say Israel isnā€™t committing atrocities is simply insane.
    5
  3897. Kapahoe Beach and Green Lake gave us some of our very favorite memories. We and other family members used to rent a house with a private lagoon that connected to Champagne Pond both of which had many kinds of fish and sea turtles. We noticed in coffee table picture book of the big island an aerial photo of both the house with green lake just on the other side of the highway but we couldn't figure out how to get there. Finally a neighbor said the lake was on private property inland from a gate just across the road which appeared locked. He said the owner had moved to another island and left the lock open so that locals could enjoy the very scenic lake but otherwise the lake was unknown to most on the island. It was an awesome experience but nothing is permanent except the pictures we have taken of this and other places lost to the forces of nature.
    5
  3898. I really liked Rubin when he was on TYT. It has been disappointing to watch him morph into a "classical liberal". Now he's just a mouthpiece for the alt-right.
    5
  3899. You were pretty sarcastic while reading her quotes, yet still... not nearly as sarcastic as she sounded. Great impersonation, OmgšŸ˜‚
    5
  3900. If she wanted to unify progressive maybe she should have picked a progressive vice president instead of Tim Kaine. That is when a lot of people finally wrote her off.
    5
  3901. No but really tho, your shirt is bomb af
    5
  3902. And here I thought that the notion that putting money in ordinary peoples pockets actually stimulates the economy, was a no brainer and self evident. The majority of customers and consumers are also workers. Keep them on slave wages, and they can't afford to buy stuff. Give them money, and they redecorate the living room, buy a new car and take the kids to Chuck E Cheese or whatever. Why is this so hard to understand?
    5
  3903. Doug Ford has his work cut for him. I know what the polls say but I think something about them is wrong. I am in a riding that went liberal for the first time since the 40's and so know quite a few conservative voters. While he has the diehards that is it. People say they don't like Wynne or how the government is run but do not think she is doing that bad a job at keeping things working. I don't think platitudes will change minds, he will need actual policy to change minds and the old conservative message does not resonate beyond the base, which is not enough.
    5
  3904. Wow you really broke it down, thank you David Doel.
    5
  3905. Incredible. Dems need to lose all seats & power due to their corruption & lies. You are incredibly intelligent & hot!
    5
  3906. So encouraging to hear this news and what it means. People like and subscribe so it will be easier for him to continue. Keep up the good work we do appreciate it.
    5
  3907. Amazing video, David; it's nice to know some more about Canadian history in terms of the universal healthcare fight. Loved listening to Bernie at that event the other day at work. Also, the flower shirt! :)
    5
  3908. This total lack of ANY compassion or empathy on the right thru this Trump era is what will define the them. They have become a CULT lead by an incompetent, narcissistic Facist w/ dementia and driven by fear + cold blooded racism. Nothing more than modern day Nazis protected by the illusion of American Acceptionalism spoon fed since grade school.
    5
  3909. Yes boycott Tim Hortons! Lets put these greedy minimum wage earners out on the street.That will show them. I'm still boycotting over Tim's pulling of the enbrige pipeline adds. So now I'm double double boycotting. Plus no more tips either.
    5
  3910. Maddow is wonderful she was one of the first and only reporter who reported on Flint Maddow does care and tries hard to bring progressives and progressive policies. I watch Rachel every night.
    5
  3911. I wish there were some way to get across to the rank and file GOP voters the truth about what the Republican Party has done in the past and is planning to do in the future to screw over the working class in America. If they understood the effect Republican policies have had on their lives and how much better off they would be without them, the GOP would NEVER win another election, no matter how much they cheated, gerrymandered, and lied.
    5
  3912. Great video Dave.
    5
  3913. Thank you, thank you, thank you, David!!! šŸ‘Rep. Barbara Lee is awesome! I so hope that she will run for Feinstein's seat!
    5
  3914. I love the format here, it's great
    5
  3915. AGREE!! He should have gone harder on her. If he did... #BernieWouldHaveWon
    5
  3916. Great video David, this is one of my favorites from you so far.
    5
  3917. I love how you use Wayback Machine to expose Joy. I can't presume to know what changed politics although it's easy to make an assumption, but her responses are somewhat telling.
    5
  3918. in other words politics is tough and some "punk ass bitches" {dave chappelle} got upset, do better, be undeniable. I also worked in the green party and i can say this is 100% bs. once the toronto star got wind to this they jumped on it, now replanting it in other places and responses that equally make her look bad. would they do the same thing if she was a 20 year old thin women, probably, she is a socialist lol great work david.. she just cried at the meeting a year after that terrorism.. waiting for the hate to start being printed. i spoke to gary buriel, (i think that's how u spell his last name), he knows of your show and likes it. He's the leader in Halifax.. you should run again! but in the east coast where you could really win. ill work for free ;) PS also congrats on being calm and cool.. its why i stay in the background.
    5
  3919. Damn did not know this about Pat Tillman! Knew he was great as it was but wow!
    5
  3920. Apparently the extra words 'freak', 'embarrass' might give a tinge of bias and make a person looking solely at titles be happy with the clicker. Maybe someone who works at YouTube takes personal liberties on this stuff. It's kind of screwed up. You've created a lot of quality work intended for YouTube with the understanding that they would treat your work fairly. And they are profiting off your work no matter what. It's unfortunate you have to deal with this. I hope it gets fixed. Not just a compromise, but genuinely fixed to help you keep going.
    5
  3921. Rogan had Cornel West on the podcast and said it one of the best convos he's ever had on the show. Had Kyle on 3 times and calls him his favourite political commentator. Why on earth is he still letting these grifters come on the podcast?
    5
  3922. Comparison of the left to the far right is so ridiculous. One gave us the Klu Klux Klan, lynchings, Islamaphobia, white nationalism. The other gave us the weekend, right to organize a union, better working conditions etc.
    5
  3923. Perhaps you're right and it is a smear. The establishment turned the word "liberal" into a dirty word in the 90's. Now that it's not such a dirty word, the establishment is trying to invent a new derogatory term for the populist left. In the early 2010's the new dirty word was "socialist". I've gotten tired of these word games. Calling names is what children do.
    5
  3924. Slam dunk!
    5
  3925. Hm, the bit where you mentioned, "if the Dems don't speak for soemthing then we'll just keep swinging back and forth" --- EXACTLY. This is, in fact, what both parties are counting on. This is the modern establishment's whole frigging trick. Have a horrible Repub do horrible shit, then throwdown a useless neoliberal who does nothing good for the people, until they get sick of that person... in steps another monster from Repubs... gets tired of that person, in-step another useless neoliberal... rinse, repeat endlessly and in the end both parties win because they're doing everthing their donors want under an illusion of democracy. It's quite genius, in fact. I think this is where the progressive movement comes into play because it's the ONLY hope America has of breaking this disgusting cycle of shit. Also, excellent commentary as usual. As a subscriber since you first got started, and a patreon supporter for the past few months, you've absolutely grown in your confidence and ability to lay down a narrative. Bra-freakin-vo, sir.
    5
  3926. okay first off, I love your shirt! Also I want to point out that I'm entirely for Medicare for all, HOWEVER! your disregard for the jobs that would need to transition ( whether it's from the insurance companies or other employees/doctors/researchers working under the private insurance companies or big pharma) sends me red flair signals. and your comparison to the collapse of the coal industry proves that you know very little about the lasting damage it had in southern states and that a lot of those jobs that needed to be filled were left vacant and caused large amounts of unemployment especially in my home state of Virginia. With that said I COMPLETELY agree that Medicare for all is a must do by any means necessary bill, it still irritates me that you were willing to just brush off the POSSIBILITY that a lot of people could lose their jobs and be forced to find new workplaces or other jobs in their fields entirely. I'm just saying that its something that needs to be talked about with more consideration and planed on accordingly for the future. I don't want to give the Republicans a single INCH when it comes to something as important as this bill! I hope you get the time to read this comment because I love your show but I felt this was something that needed to be said. Thank you! and I hope you have a great day
    5
  3927. This action by Trudeauā€™s government is honestly heart breaking. His defense of it is disgusting. The liberals have no place in government if theyā€™re unwilling to commit fully to addressing the climate crisis.
    5
  3928. Great point David
    5
  3929. Clinton still does not get it! What these neocons sell is hopelessness and trying to convince people that progress or solutions is "unrealistic" and she has not woken up yet that this bad ...whats unrealistic about living wage and access to education????
    5
  3930. Doug Ford is ruining Ontario. Please give attention to the NDP and those fighting against this buffoon and his cronies.
    5
  3931. Those "final notice" mailings are disgusting. I remember when Rachel Maddow did a segment on her show in 2016 about how the RNC was doing this same thing. Theyre just 2 sides of the same coin.
    5
  3932. Your assessment of this question is absolutely true. Doug's slick statement will imply that he will increase incomes of the citizens, yet no PC ever has or ever will do that. The want the employee to get as little as possible so that the employer can get as much as possible. That is their raison d'etre. I doubt that this story will ever be stressed on CBC, The National, etc. Doug will be just like Mike (Harris), a discredited money-grabber.
    5
  3933. Its amazing how like 3 pages in her new book could trigger me so hard, world class narcism.
    5
  3934. Thanks David for naming Corbyn as the rational of the year! Donā€™t see much coverage of him in North American media
    5
  3935. Thanks!
    5
  3936. I like this channel not just for the insightful commentary, but also for the intelligent commenters
    5
  3937. I hear what you are saying about bans when it comes to say alcohol or drugs. But there are laws against selling organs and sex trafficking, so on some things, a total ban on might have to be explored. Disclosure: I am for bans on types of guns and types of gun paraphernalia (regulation of guns in general).
    5
  3938. I agree. Positions should be argued based on merit, not by what the founders would think. That being said, I am against ANY change to the 1st and 2nd amendments (outside of getting money out of politics and overturning citizens united). Repealing the first in an attempt to censor the extreme right will inevitably backfire and censor progressives. Repealing the 2nd will harm rural communities who rely on firearms not just for protection, but for economic reasons.
    5
  3939. great vid.
    5
  3940. Agreed. As a 60 year old woman, your views embody the future of our country. Thanks!
    5
  3941. Calling for a maximum wage. The NYT is a piece of work and is completely out of touch.
    5
  3942. it hurts me SO BADLY that a canadian has a better understanding of the us than its people do
    5
  3943. "Ideology is not the form of radicalization..." This should shut up people like Sam Harris, Bill Maher, conservative Islamaphobes, and the New Atheist that insist religion is the root of terror attacks.
    5
  3944. What's really stupid david, is that trump IS NOT DUMB. He literally said the exact opposite years ago when immigration came up he said "How can you throw millions of people out of the country who have no support system anywhere else?" he knows what he's doing. A lot of people(not saying you) make the mistake of thinking he's just incompetent, no way, he knows exactly what he does and what he said
    5
  3945. I hope the money helps!! I'm going to be checking to see if your videos are without adds. I don't like bullies trying to cause the little guys problems. Wishing you the best
    5
  3946. I actually love her running for senate, but her ad looks more like a teaser for a horror movie...
    5
  3947. And it's a deceptive "moderate" he's talking about. That's a DC moderate, which is right-wing compared to general U.S. populace and far-right compared to the rest of the world.
    5
  3948. When I first starting watching Joy Reid, I really liked her because she appears very likable and has great charisma. I think a lot of people like her for those reasons. However, when she started attacking Bernie Sanders, I began to take notice of what she said or tweeted about him and became repulsed by her deliberate inaccuracies and hypocrisy. Now I just do not watch any of her programs. I think it is very important to call her out when she is lying as she has so many viewers and followers on tweeter.
    5
  3949. Mulvaney's lack of humility is staggering.
    5
  3950. When the most "liberal" new channel does this shit.... So much for the mainstream media being super "liberal". Neoliberalism and corporatism is cancer
    5
  3951. The militarization of the police should very definitely be opposed by libertarians! All that money spent to control the population in the most obvious, oppressive, and expensive way possible. If you are okay with this, you are not a libertarian.
    5
  3952. Selina Vickers is a HERO to us Progressive WEST VIRGINIANS!!!Ā Ā We do exist!Ā  PROGRESSIVE WEST VIRGINIANS!!!

  3953. If I were Melania I'd care!!!!!!
    5
  3954. Ok, but that shirt is #fire. Political commentary as well lol.
    5
  3955. Milesā€™ whole discussion of the Ottawa trucker convoy and his interactions with angry online right wingers was just the perfect shot of good olā€™ boy Canadiana I needed šŸ˜‚. Accent of triggered meme response guy was perfection.
    5
  3956. Yet another great video! To your defense, I feel like you cover everything intellectually while still holding on to a bit of humanity that makes your point of view even stronger. Don't let anyone change that! How'd you land a libertarian though? I mean, you may be good looking but that can only get you so far!

  3957. I heard someone say the ā€œAmerican Dreamā€ is to be a millionaire the other day. Really? I always thought the American Dream was to have your picket fence, to own a home & comfortably raise a family. Thatā€™s all I want. Fuck being a millionaire. The last thing I want is to hoard a bunch of money while other people struggle to get by.

  3960. Great video as always, thank you for giving exposure to this. I am stunned by the comments on Jordan Klepper's show, The Opposition. Kobi Libii did a piece on conspiracy theories, I think it's called Red Pill'd. It's a satirical show, taking the piss out of these people. The comments shook me!! They think it validates this crap, something called QAnon. Sorry for my rant, but it's freaky! I wish I could afford to be a patron, but no money at the moment. Love your channel. From a Corbynite in the UK.

  3961. You know, he was everyone's last choice at the party convention. But in order that NObody won, they all ended up voting for him. Great way to come up with a loser for leader.
    5
  3962. So you care more about party labels than about the people those labels are attached to. I will never understand such a position.

  3970. I appreciate this video, and your channel in general. I've been in a very dark place for the past few days, fearing for the future. But videos like this give me a little bit of hope. I don't think healthcare for all will happen in the US. But it *might*. And I need that little glimmer of hope right now. Sitting on the couch in dispair won't do shit. Thank you for giving me some much needed perspective. You're great, and you need more subscribers.

  3973. Paula-Jean thank you so much for fighting the good fight..please run again next time!!!!!!!!!!!!

  3974. I really wish people would listen to this man on this subject instead of tweeting and retweeting how we should just punch them and take away their rights.
    5
  3975. I'd also like to thank you. I live in the UK. London, England to be precise. I've been watching your videos for a while now and I'd just like to commend you on your extensive knowledge and humanity regarding social issues. So once again, thank you sir and keep doing what you're doing.

  3976. I think we are having a big problem with the caveats employers seem to be taking advantage of between hiring fulltime employees versus part-time employees, with the latter being cheaper for them. PT or contract employees do not have the same entitlements or benefits as fulltime employees, it is much easier to terminate them, and employees do not have to guarantee 40 hours of work per week. PT employees can also be paid much less than fulltime employees by considering them as "entry level", which is not clearly defined. Unions have been declining when we really need them, people think dues are a reason to not have a union, but they will fight for you and protect you. It's worth it to have their expertise and knowledge on your side. We need some form of regulation for PT & FT, with a minimum requirement of FT employees based upon a complex consideration of company size and business levels etc. Or to require that only actual entry level positions are paid minimum wage, with wages increasing with seniority/responsibilities/education etc. FT is only described as "35-40 hr/wk". Most people are being grossly underpaid, and no one who works should be under the poverty level, or struggling to make ends meet. Often employers offer extra hours, so you end up working 40 hours, but your schedule is only 25. All the FT with none of the benefits. We need better wages and better management of tax dollars. That would make a huge difference in our quality of life. $15/hr is great for minimum wage, but any job that isn't entry level should be paid more than that, we shouldn't all be paid the minimum simply because companies want to pocket more money. It's disgraceful mistreatment of the people they rely on to make the company profitable in the first place. * Edit, that job loss myth doesn't take jobs created into account either.

  3977. I'm not crazy about your shirt but you still look cute. I would take Warren over Booker.

  3978. Thanks David for showing me the tactics that guy uses to manipulate his audience. I'll be looking from now on at the way these people use their speech and not just what they're saying. This channel rocks:D
    5
  3979. Nope because he understands the modern meaning of the term and is not concern trolling about a subject you do not actually give a fuck about.
    5
  3980. I became a patreon a couple of weeks ago because I really value what I learn from you, I never miss your videos. I'm grateful to have voices like yours available bc we'd never see/hear the truth as you speak it anywhere in mainstream media. TY David!!!! ā¤ļøā¤ļøā¤ļø
    5
  3981. Good piece David. Sad though that we live in the reality where these good folks actually had to discuss these terrible issues and come up with the means to change them. Sad indeed.
    5
  3982. I very much agree that shame is ineffectual at getting people to vote for something but think that shame can prevent people from voting for something. For example I think that shaming a Trump supporter isn't likely to make them vote FOR someone else but it does, I think, have an effect to prevent them from supporting him or someone like them going forward when done correctly. That said this is not a great method and is hardly the only way to sway opinion but humans are a social species who are very capable of feel shame.... especially when that shame is justified. I voted for Obama. I feel shame for it and I'm going to try and never do something like that again.
    5
  3983. @David Doel; great vid again. And, on a different note, dunno what ya did on patreon but it's finally working for me. It's done! got your back bro! (well, for what I can afford that is). :)

  3984. "Shut the fuck up & go away" damn SAVAGE

  3985. Fast-talkers talk fast so you don't have time to process the stupid shit they're saying. Case in point: Kids don't watch the [news] media, so how can they "be activated" by it? Appreciate you showing your sources, David. So important these days.
    5
  3986. Ford does not care about this issue as his record clearly shows, the list is already transparent and accountability means nothing in this context. The fact is the amount of money we are talking about here is a drop in the bucket as far as provincial spending is concerned. He whines about this while at the expense of the deficit plans to hand out more tax cuts to the very richest. I am mad at liberals for acting like cons in privatizing hydro, that no reason to vote for cons.
    5
  3987. Normally a Green voter, I voted Liberal in the last Federal election to get Harper out finally, and because our local MP is a decent guy. I will most definitely be voting NDP next election to try and remove Trudeau. This is the oil soaked cherry on top after binning electoral reform and going through with weapon contracts with the Saudis. Great video David!
    5
  3988. Very good commentary! Thanks.
    5
  3989. Right on. I just wrote about the Alabama election and weā€™re in total agreement. Doug Jones won in large part because of the African-American vote on Tuesday, Dec. 12, 2017. He also won because Roy Moore was a horrible candidate who drove enough people to vote for Jones or write in another candidate. If not for the allegations, Mooreā€™s nutty self could have easily won. Sadly, the Democratic establishment will take all the wrong lessons from this. They believe that centrism is the answer but it is the scourge of the Democratic Party. Itā€™s a huge reason why many people lost their safety net during the Clinton years it and it is part of the reason the party is decimated across the country. Also, centrism signals the Democratsā€™ capitulation to the Republicans. Centrists do not make good candidates, but populists do. Again, Jones won due to extenuating circumstances. Jones only won by a point and he didnā€™t even win half the vote. There was a perfect storm created in the aftermath of the Harvey Weinstein revelations and the amount of fail on the Republican side. Democrats would do well to take care of the people who really make up their base and stop with this cutesy centrist BS. BTW, I love seeing the amount of research you do for your videos. Hereā€™s the post I wrote for anyone whoā€™s interested: https://shmaltzandmenudo.wordpress.com/2017/12/13/if-you-told-me-that-alabama-could-turn-blue/ I made it scannable for the most part, but the best sections are at the end.

  3990. Awesome piece. A question I have for the vets, is the national anthem played before every mission or deployment? Why is, for the most part, the only time the national anthem only played at sporting events? Why is it that the national anthem's last verse not sung or used? When was it Constitutionally legal to force people to stand for the national anthem? The national anthem didn't exist until 1812 or so...

  3993. Sadly this is the least surprising story through the election. I wish you weren't so quick to give him the benefit of the doubt. Pleading ignorance is not an excuse for blatant corruption. Isn't corruption the biggest reason for the Liberals problems in the polls? If the Ford campaign doesn't have a staffer capable of ensuring election rules are followed, that is their problem (personal responsibility right Cons?)
    5
  3994. How do such ignorant people get so much power? This is sheer lunacy
    5
  3995. I find the biggest issue that many citizens in the U.S. have with social supports is generated from their struggle to pay their rent/ mortgage, utilities, health care, car insurance/payments, nutritional needs, and other life expenses. Because they struggle they feel like everybody else should too. Therefore, the idea of free community college, universal healthcare, Medicaid, snap, and other social services are seen as unfair. Truth is making 27k a year with two children and $800 rent $250 utilities, automotive expenses, and about $450 a month in groceries does not qualify for any help with child care or other assistance in many states. People are angry and need to focus. I cannot even imagine the type of backlash I'd hear from my msm-news-propaganda-drinking family if I ever said I supported housing the homeless or a basic income. You'll never guess who does the name calling in political exchanges in my family?! Hint, it's not me the "ignorant libtard." I'd never assign as liberal. I'm progressive all the way.
    5
  3996. RATNAT - Very good, unique and productive idea. Feedback improves the show's issue targeting and report quality, and increases viewer engagement. Get well.
    5
  3997. Whist I do agree with you that communism is bad. I do have to note that there weren't any major socialists who were running (and Bernie was a Social Democrat, not a communist). it was mainly the neo-liberals who pretty much rigged the system in their favor to get Clinton who pretty much ignored middle America.
    5
  3998. Canada has healthcare. The US has wealth care.
    5
  3999. David itā€™s all BS. You do an awesome job focusing on what the U.S. masses are dealing with. Healthcare, Education for all, $15 fair minimum wage, infrastructure rejuvenation, Campaign reform and getting out of all of these wars. Iā€™m way over the other distractions.
    5
  4000. Dave, go on the Rubin report...... right now. Bring back his confused alt-right base! I say confused because most are former leftists who got turned off by neoliberal identity politics.
    5
  4001. The point David made about running for down ballot races is so true. Not only local and state governments have more impact in the lives of its residents, but itā€™s important for progressives to have a good bench, so that if they decide to run for Congress, they have not only the experience but also the name recognition enough so that voters would not make the mistake of voting for the other candidate because the progressive isnā€™t well known in the community. So itā€™s important that we build our bench and build experience in government.
    5
  4002. Youā€™re my only resource for news David! Keep it up
    5
  4003. Thank you for informing me on the Canadian seen. You right about Bernie SANDERS - thanks for saying that! I sense a growing Momentum with the Progressive Left.

  4004. Trotsky was correct even according to HITLER HIMSELF who said something along the lines of, "We could have been stopped if there was a concentrated effort to strike at the heart of our movement during its infancy". Someone could reply with the actual quote if they'd like but what I said was an apt summarization. This is also the goal of anti-fascist action - to make it impossible / unpalatable for fascists to participate in civil society, through violence (punching a Nazi, confrontation at rallies) or ostracization (publicly outing them, getting them fired, etc ). It is about doing everything you can to crush fascism in its infancy - this includes voting. Look up the "Battle of Cable Street". The public forcibly confronted the Nazis and beat their ass. It is also VERY IMPORTANT TO NOTE that in the Battle of Cable Street, the police protected the Nazis. The police will not be on your side, so expect to get teargassed, shot, or arrested. The most important part is showing a united front to make it VERY CLEAR that it is THE COMMUNITY being INVADED by outsiders. Organizing your workplace and cooperating with other unions and community groups to drive them out is a way of doing this.
    5
  4005. Once again,right on the money .Thank you for this video and insight of and remembrance to Pat Tillman .Trump doesn't deserve the right to utter his name ,much less try and use him as a symbol and for his own gain. Deplorable par usual.
    5
  4006. Big fan David. Fellow Canadian as well. I love you unbiased views and wish the world would think like us. I think the U.S. is facing it's worst division since I have been alive and I'm 50. As far as the U.S. goes, the division for sure is worse than it was under Bush. I know the media has a heavy hand in that.
    5
  4007. I was skeptical when I first heard Cynthia Nixon was running for governor of NY. Thank you, David, for giving me much-needed information - via her ad - on who she is and what she is running on/for!
    5
  4008. Why didn't they have a live Boyz2Men impromptu benefit concert that they could cut to, like they did when people were protesting outside CNN? Thx for showing this!
    5
  4009. Yeah, a lot of people pointed out Bernie's failure of calling Hillary out in that debate. What's not known is whether if Bernie pulled his punches intentionally or whether he just blanked out, which could be a sign of his age. Now if he intentionally pulled his punches, then many people might be correct that his decision to pull his punches might have cost him the primary as you illustrated someone with orative charisma & "alpha male" assertive stature would go for the decisive win as Obama did. Now, I understand the DNC rigged the primaries such that Hillary was the presumptive entitled nominee and that Bernie was not even supposed to get close to her, and no matter what happened, she was in all likelihood going to win the primary, but in hindsight, it would have been interesting to be in a universe with this choice being different.
    5
  4010. I like Pat Tillman too. He was an atheist.
    5
  4011. David has anyone told you that you're one good looking dude? Also i just think we need stricter background checks and a massive expansion on mental health services, which is something that is best achieved with universal healthcare. Its also worth noting that BECAUSE of our lack of a public healthcare system, many of the victims have to rely on unreliable private charities like gofundme for aid, which is horrible.
    5
  4012. Donā€™t care about the background love your show.
    5
  4013. I think your right. Bernie and his works will go down in history # stillsandersā™„
    5
  4014. Hillary Clinton would have to move left just to GET to the center.
    5
  4015. That stupid reporter is ever so subtly trying to smear progressives. Also, I think its more like 80% are progressive, and 20ish% are the corporate types. Just unfortunately the corporate types have a louder voice with all the money behind them making them appear more of a majority than they are.
    5
  4016. The public should be widely shown both his voting record and his donor list. Joe's not benevolent, he's a benefactor.
    5
  4017. Really great video, thanks for making this. I don't know if I could have sat through the original 2 hour interview, I prefer to have your concise summary of it.
    5
  4018. I'm glad this mentioned that you have to run on something positive that people want. Ads that focus on the negative about the opponent instead of a positive that people want ultimately backfire.
    5
  4019. thanks to Bernie and medicare for all may have killed the Republicans' trump care bill. yes '

  4020. Jorge Flores Do you not think they are mere human beings? Their thinking has been twisted, but by what? You cannot hope to change their minds by screaming at them or punching them. That only alienates them further.
    5
  4021. This is why David is the Rational National. He's able to break the down PR that the mainstream feeds to us and break down the facts.

  4022. Dave Rubin: Free Speech , but only when that Speech fits in my narrative

  4023. Thanks

  4024. Not a huge Perez fan, but to be fair, as I understand it he's not going to be teaching a regular class... as a senior fellow he'll be part of a seminar that meets maybe 6 or 7 times a semester. It doesn't really seem equivalent to me.
    5
  4025. Im still shocked its 2018 and the u.s. has still no universal healthcare system. Kick your politicians in their asses americans! They should do their work.
    5
  4026. Thank you! You hit how we feel SPOT ON! Not only is it movies, itā€™s television, commercials (and if weā€™re in commercials there arenā€™t biracial females with black males. Or black women with a particular demeanor like the Popeyes woman šŸ™„). In magazines, EVERYWHERE! Thank you. Please school more white people.
    5
  4027. I cracked up when you switched to Raphael's Ninja Turtle voice.šŸ˜… Really didn't see that coming. Becoming the Canadian version of the awesome Kyle Kulinsky, lol. Anyway, keep speaking the facts, and more of the hilarious delivery, please!^^ And of course, your counter-arguments are right on every point as usual, imho, David.

  4028. I'm a hardcore Bernie Bro. Any ally of Medicare For All is a good thing.
    5
  4029. There are no genuine conservatives anymore. And thatā€™s a shame. Shapiro, Crowder, Rubin, Prager, and their cohorts are all paid shills by billionaires to promote an ideology that benefits them financially. It doesnā€™t take an extraordinary level of intelligence to notice this. It makes me long for the days of Dwight Eisenhower and Richard Nixon.
    5
  4030. I love you so man keep it up

  4031. Thank you for talking about progressive candidates! Especially those who don't get enough recognition.

  4036. Dr. Lori Smith no such thing as attack dogs since the dawn of time political opponents have been at each other's throats. You talk about watching different views yet your whole watching list is 90% conservative and the rest are buzzfeed and such. I don't care what's your political affiliation what I don't tolerate is bullshit. For 10 years the conservative media has been throwing bullshit into peoples ears about the left being "snowflakes-cucks-communists-anti free speech..etc" while giving bigots and dickheads a pass under the first amendment and crying on Fox when getting criticised. So you saying that Michelle went too far is just out of touch. Your generation let things go till these corrupt assholes took over my generation is not a stand by generation and we don't tolerate bullshit

  4037. Still nervous about Kamala with all the Clinton donors sucking up to her but this announcement makes me excited. Good on her!

  4039. Ontario voters better smarten up..they're getting snookered believing BIG Doug Ford..he's nothing but The Bull Shit Man!!
    5
  4040. That last point though, yes, in their ever growing pursuit to hoard as much wealth as possible, they further push people to the left. A few years ago I just considered myself a typical liberal Democrat. But hell, at this point, even I want to "seize the means of production".
    5
  4041. It's amazing how there's really nothing at stake for her, yet she continues to lie with impunity.

  4042. You just got another subscriber. šŸ‘

  4043. I have yet to hear someone I perceive as being on the left verbally assaulting people of color. I have yet to hear people on the left celebrating when they watch their rights being taken away. I don't see people on the left celebrating because their children will most likely die from something that was either preventable or treatable. What I do see every day is people being shot , arrested, having 911 called on them just for being.
    5
  4044. That's so messed up. They're demonitozing several of you who are speaking out. Sent you $20. Hope it helps.

  4048. Your right. A larger pool of population would make it cheaper per capita.
    5
  4049. We need more rational compassionate Canadian culture. Thanks!
    5
  4050. She is IN-FUCKING-CREDIBLE at answering questions. Holy fuck, we have an extremely young and talented Bernie Sanders on our hands here folks.
    5
  4051. What a piece of shit, the lady asking the question too. I have never heard any Bernie supporter flat out say they hate rich people or billionaires, we hate rich people that DO NOT PAY THEIR FAIR OF TAXES! A secretary shouldn't pay the same as the billionaire that owns the company. We are not anti capitalism, we are anti CORRUPT capitalism. Cenk is 100% right, these fucking clowns have absolutely NO IDEA they're in a tiny fucking bubble. They do no realize that the Democratic party is supposed to be for the PEOPLE, not JUST the very rich. These fucking clowns think THEY'RE the oppressed ones?? Fuck off. It exposes the party and leadership as the corrupt sell out pieces of shit they are.
    5
  4052. Where does this hatred come from???...Well,she looks like one of the rejects who probably gave money to Ezra Levant and religiously watched The Rebel....
    5
  4053. Hopefully working class Republican voters realize their getting railroaded on every single economic issue. Its hilarious how fiscal conservatives vote for a tax bill that adds over a trillion dollars to the national debt. The only thing Republicans stand for, Ā is whatever their wealthy Donors tell them to. Ā I cant even begin to say how many times i heardĀ someone say how Trump is a business man and how we need a business man in the White House. Yea a rich business man with zeroĀ concern for his laundry list of ethics violations.Ā  Knuckle drag, Bible thumpĀ America strikes again
    5
  4054. Progressives can't have it both ways. You can't attack Harris if she didn't cosponsor medicare for all, but then attack her for cosponsoring medicare for all as well. You have to give credit where credit is due. You can and should be skeptical of Harris, but you can't refuse to give her credit for supporting a very good bill.

  4055. Youre not gonna shame me calling me a Bernie-bot. Ill take it :D
    5
  4056. It's a shame because I've been watching the reboot and I genuinely like the show. It's a shame that the ignorant words of one of the actors has to ruin it for the rest of the cast. Sarah Gilbert, Laurie Metcalf and John Goodman are very funny and talented actors, and the show was well written. It's a shame Roseanne couldn't keep her shit together for the benefit of her coworkers.
    5
  4057. Is anyone else going to acknowledge the great Mario shirt you're wearing?
    5
  4058. Good video, but I have to disagree with your analysis. Lee Carter ran as a Dem in a swing district where Dems get >40% (https://ballotpedia.org/Virginia_House_of_Delegates_District_50) and he managed to secure >50% I ran in a deep blue district where the Dem usually goes uncontested and I got 30% as the first Green to ever run in the district. It's also a district that's gone 3rd party before (Working Families Party). I agree with you that no independent will win a presidential election anytime soon. But using a side by side of Carter's race and my race isn't really evidence for that.
    5
  4059. i get why people love firing automatic weapons, but people dont need to own it themselves. i propose a compromise, we can relegate semi-automatics and automatics to well monitored and licensed shooting ranges.
    5
  4060. Quite frankly I donā€™t give a fuck why sheā€™s doing what sheā€™s doing. All that matters is that sheā€™s doing it. Sheā€™s done a great service to progressives by putting the DNC as an insider, and I think that far outweighs her participation in rigging the primary. Getting hung up on the past rather than focusing on what people are doing in the present isnā€™t very productive
    5
  4061. I just saw https://www.npr.org/2018/01/13/577888963/chelsea-manning-files-for-senate-run-in-maryland I hope you do a video about it, David.
    5
  4062. I love your channel.
    5
  4063. Great video David!
    5
  4064. David, you should do more videos about Canada
    5
  4065. We already spend trillions of dollars on healthcare without getting the results we are paying for. No copays, deductibles, or premiums would save the average family at least $10K a year. This really is a no-brainer
    5
  4066. which is exactly why the only way i ever watch msnbc is if progressive pundits are picking it apart for how unbelievably stupid these people are. Ā i wish someone would give ME $30k/day to be that stupid. Ā just for a month.
    5
  4067. i actually disagree with most of the points made but David so likeable i can't help being a fan of this channel
    5
  4068. Howard Reasor Actually, Rolling Stone has always had it's fair share of great reporters! Most importantly, we wouldn't have Hunter S. Thompson's masterful works! You statement is blasphemy for the entire Gonzo Journalism movement!
    5
  4069. It's not about who pays more, it's about how resources are allotted and how workers are exploited. I'm not interested in living in a society where working 2-3 jobs for $7/hr is becoming the norm or as Bush puts it "uniquely American". If it were up to corporations models in China or Bangladesh would be ideal.
    5
  4070. Is Joe Scarborough really that stupid or just that dishonest? That's what I'd like to know.

  4071. I appreciate your rational and views on things. Thanks for your work!

  4072. Well said mate, well said.

  4073. and by commenting we help him grow! I think...

  4074. Another question is how far we the people can finance politicians.

  4075. I genuinely love your channel. Really good stuff. No affectation, no yelling, just clear-headed analysis. Looking forward to following your stuff. How old are you (if you donā€™t mind my asking)? Just curious.
    4
  4076. This reminds me of your video on "privilege". It's more that minorities have an intrinsic social disadvantage, and it shows in these kinds of situations.

  4077. Just came across this video while watching the humanist report, watched the video and subscribed.
    4
  4078. I kept thinking through this commentary "this is stuff that should be common knowledge, just generally accepted information" and then I realized, this stuff that David is saying NEEDS to be said. It isn't sad that he is saying it, it is sad that there are so many people that need to hear it and many still haven't seemed to have received the message. Thanks David for being a genuine voice in a sea of the disingenuous.

  4079. INFORMED COMMENTARY. REFRESHING.

  4082. Found two ads from the PAC and GOP connecting him with Pelosi with the former actually pretty effective than the latter. It was a quick guilt by association attack with the usual negative hits on Democratic issues. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r-cVw5Csxc4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wlV96-nNet4 I do not watch MSNBC anymore and with things like this happening it's not hard to be relieved from it. However, Democratic friends of my do and it's certainly something to ponder on how to not put them on the defensive and realize what's going on.

  4083. Unbelievable, that Trump can say John McCain is a loser because he was captured and he doesn't like people that were captured. For someone that never served in the military to say something like this is absurd. Trump got daddy to get him a medical deferment that kept him out of the draft.Ā Later on, daddy also pulled some strings and got Trump aĀ high draft number of 356 out of 365. I guess giving him a draft number of 365 would be a little to conspicuous.Ā He claims he loves this great country but slithers away when it came time to defend it. He now wants the support fromĀ Veterans? Are you serious?Ā How can any veteran support this psychopath? This is just one issue out of many, that make this LUNATIC unfit to be the "Commander in Chief".Ā Ā What a hypocritical maggot!

  4085. The Rational National - I would like to know what you think of the Justice Democrats, Brand New Congress, etc., that are directly challenging the establishment Democratic party. It seems like The kind of "team sport" view you're talking about is indicative of why the establishment should fail (on both sides). Anyway, subbed!
    4
  4086. I think the most important thing is to keep the stream-of-consciousness vibe you've kept so far.
    4
  4087. Thank you for covering this David. We need all the pushback we can get from the anti SJW "BLM is a terrorist organization" people. Someone has to care about systemic racism, even if it makes people feel uncomfortable talking about it and want to play projection as if they are the victims.
    4
  4088. As an American I agree with what you said and I think that the majority of Americans who are educated on this issue would agree too. I do believe we should have a single payer system for not only general healthcare but for all aspects of health, including dental. However insane it may be that we are fighting to keep our private insurance plan as it currently is is because it is better than the republican plan which is not really a healthcare bill but a massive redistribution of wealth from the bottom to the top, or reverse Robbin Hood as Bernie called it. Yes I and a lot of other Americans want single payer, but we also know its not going to happen over night. Insurance companies and medical practitioners are making a ton of money because of the way the law is currently structured and they will fight this every step of the way. But if the American people keep fighting then we will win. It may not happen in the next 4 or 8 years but we will get single payer.

  4089. absolutely

  4091. Awesome video, this is becoming one of my favorite channels for politics.
    4
  4092. I like you. Have only seen two shows but will search you out again. How do I feel about Greta? Sad because she did offer a different view and the platform for seeing more people not espousing the progressive line. I consider myself a progressive but one who wants to hear the other side- and one who can still hope that some kind of dialogue can come back into existence in this country. Hateful to have both camps shrouded within their 'party lines."

  4093. here in UK 89% of the population are favourable of our signle-payer system. In America, as I speak, under Obama care have a 55% favourability towards the system

  4094. @The Rational National For the most part you did a good job, but you missed some key facts here... The cop was dishonest about the reason he pulled Castile over... He actually pulled him over because he thought he looked like a robbery suspect... If you wanna see some racism, then look into how he concluded that to the dispatch.. he said Castile had a "wide set nose" like the robbery suspect or ya know basically most black people... so essentially he pulled over Castile cuz he was black and was hoping to get an arrest or something on him.... then this horrific travesty ensued. The judge presiding over the case also didn't provide that information to the jury.... as to why he was actually pulled over in the first place.
    4
  4095. Awesome video....

  4096. I'm glad I found this channel, keep up the good work man.

  4097. The researcher who created MDMA actually called it empathy.

  4098. Thanks for that David. A very fair-minded analysis.

  4099. Great commentary, David.

  4100. If people have never been hungry due to an economic or political condition, they never understand why we complain and are dissatisfied with the establishment. When Corbyn presented himself and his message in the early leadership hustings, he touched my emotional strings. From the bowels of my stomach I just said this man if believed will deliver for the rest of the world. Despite being an immigrant I engaged with my zero hours contract, permanent employees telling them to support him. They just laughed. I engaged the young but were rather more a tuned to mobile phones. As a retired teacher I knew the importance of planting seeds in their minds. I guess my work paid off as there was a record turn out of the young.

  4101. Congrats on the 11k. Cheers --
    4
  4102. YES!! Outstandingly said.
    4
  4103. Hillary stabbed Bernie in the back on the gun issue ... that was quite clear ... Bernie called it a "low blow" ... he was being kind to her, in my opinion
    4
  4104. This video is so instructive on why people like Pelosi, Feinstein and Schumer can never support true FDR-style populism. The Dems are in a classic hostage situation--support warmed over policies and keep the corrupt gravy train going and nobody gets hurt...except we all get hurt (99% of us anyway) in the end.
    4
  4105. The OAS asked for new elections, Evo accepted it but the opposition said he can't participate in the next elections. And the militaries forced him to step down even though his term only ends in January.
    4
  4106. It's a free market free-for-all now. No rent control. No foreign buyer's tax (get ready for Toronto to look like Vancouver when the OREA starts luring all the money launderers here) Minimum wage freeze. Land sold off to big developers. Green belt paved over. And cheap beer! Yay! The Left has to really start distancing itself from SJWs, identity politics, and feminism. It's poison to true progressives who are fighting wealth inequality and political corruption.
    4
  4107. If Nina Turner ran for president in the last election, I have no doubt she would be elected. She seems like she has all of the upsides of Bernie and Hillary and without the downsides of the latter. She seems almost too good to be true! Sheā€™ll have my vote in 2020 if she runs.
    4
  4108. Wow this is great news! Love your perspective David. These are important issues but did anyone else see the alien with the ear buds in the video?
    4
  4109. As a former heroin addict and former heavy meth user, something Brand and I have gone through, I love Russell Brand's eloquence. His speeches about the drug war, especially from someone whose suffered it's effects, are amazing, well thought out, and would be easy to put into action if we got rid of this neoliberal bullshit. I suggest everyone watch his speeches by looking up youtube videos where he speaks about different subjects. His arguments are brilliant, they are very well thought out, hard to disagree from an ethical, public safety, and cost perspective. His politics are progressive and he seems to genuinely want the best for the vast majority of us. He's a great representative for progressives, one of many, which is much more than I can say for the #Resistance nutjobs.

  4110. TIL Canadians say "sore-y" instead of "sorry"

  4111. I accept your right to where tacky shirts. I wear flannel shirts everyday, which is no better.

  4112. I love how much passion Bernie has especially in the last speech
    4
  4113. Yep, absolutely correct!! I live in California, and would definitely support Kamala Harris IF SHE WOULD ONLY REFUSE CORPORATE $$$$
    4
  4114. Great take on this David, not enough people have explained why this matters to the larger culture, which should be obvious but a lot of people donā€™t think about it, and I think also have short memories of how homophobic our culture was just a few years ago. In retrospect it wouldā€™ve been worth it for Pakman to make that point to Rogan, who sees things in a very isolated reductionist individual level sometimes
    4
  4115. I ā¤ļø your videos man. Great work! Thank you for all you do.

  4116. You are AWESOME! Great breakdown.
    4
  4117. Well done!

  4118. Regarding, "U can only vote for one person" Not exactly. I could for example vote in the democratic primary for the most progressive person I can find to help shape the party and make them better and I could vote for someone else in the general if I want. Regarding, "you need to concentrate your energy on one." You care too much about parties. Vote for good people. People who share your values and concerns regardless of the party they are in or you are doing the exact same thing as republicans and democrats who blindly support their party.
    4
  4119. Love it, stopped, watched the debate, now back, you picked the best clips. I agree, witnessing actual decorum was a pleasant change, no need for the gotcha moment, just an honest discussion of differing perspectives and different points of view , just presented to consider, like it should be, so refreshing. Definitely not a debate, (but you're correct on how you suckered me into the clip) the necessary evil of algorithms and monetisation for good work. Thank you, thoroughly enjoyed the "debate" and analyses.

  4124. I agree the ad does seems too negative, though all the points in it are correct. I know the opposition is going to use that against her in their own ads, claiming she is anti-government. They have already been smearing her as a convicted criminal even though she was arrested for exposing war crimes the US Government did but SHE went to jail!

  4125. For me it's Nina Tulsi and Bernie

  4126. Al Franken was on Jimmy Kimmel and never mentioned that he co-sponsored Bernie Sanders bill. Al Franken only spoke about ACA. The Republi-Dems gave no intention whatsoever of actually passing Single Payer. Mark my words.

  4127. When the Liberals did it, the Conservatives screamed and cried and threw hair-pulling tantrums over it until the Liberals made it illegal for anyone, including themselves, to do it anymore. But what does Doug Ford do at the first opportunity?

  4128. Wow this is very educational...thank you...rational national.

  4132. Thank you, our media has labeled Corbyn a communist spy, a communist, antisemitic and a Russian Sympathizer all in the space of a month, and that is just the BBC. I should be happy though because in the 2017 election he was a terrorist sympathizer of the IRA and had "connections" to Hamas...

  4133. Dude literally said his fear was that the American people would "get hip" to how we're being screwed. Like. That's just something that people openly say now.

  4136. Sillicon Valley ALREADY silences the left. How do these lefties not understand. I get being principled if this was a rational society, but it isn't. We can defend their rights to be nazis, incite violence, what's next promote pedophilia on the internet? Oh wait I guess that happened to Milo and where the fuck is he now?

  4137. 6:02 and on needs to go viral. Very good closing. Thanks for the honesty but also the reality haha

  4142. Thanks for digging for us David. Helpful stuff.

  4143. Bernie truely knows what turning the other cheek really means. It's a sign of strength, discipline and will. A psychological skill that only very few humans have learned.

  4144. So lemme get this straight dyson using free speech made a statement about Jordan Peterson. Jordan Peterson immediately gets triggered and writes of dysons free speech because he doesnā€™t like what he said...oh iron E

  4146. Thanks! David, I love your take on American politics and always watch your videos. Don't know why I haven't sent a Super Thanks before this. Thank you for all you do. Comment on this video: Where's Lyndon Johnson when you need him?

  4147. The right wing argument is it will hurt the economy. In fact the economies in Scandinavian countries are doing much better because there is more money in the pockets of the middle class

  4150. As an Australian I am also amazed at this deification of the Founding Fathers. If the Constitution was so immutable, why were there at least 10 amendments in the first 10 years, when the founding fathers were still active in public life? Why did they make the Constitution so easy to change (by international standards.) It is much more difficult to alter the Australian Constitution and ours is not a political document at all - more of and administrative documents dividing tasks between State and Federal Governments.

  4155. On the contrary he refuses to be caught up in a "wrestling" match. The media would love some "scandal" and "infighting" to report on. Nope. Not gonna happen. Classy short answer, taking the high road - and then back to the issues. -- now fortunately he has a lot of supporters online he do not have to count in such strategic limitations. Let's the Twitter games begin.
    4
  4156. Dave, sometimes you stun me with how direct and accurate your point can be. But you will hit a home run if you take it to its full, logical, final step: ending classism and creating equality for all humanity! If a progressive desires to own the moral high ground, then they must own EVERY debate by using human equality as their means and their goal. You will win every time. Lefties demand economic equality, and right wingers always respond by pointing out that individual failings exist in society. Their argument is a divisive distraction. A coup of ideas. But progressives have the keys to beat them at their own game.

  4157. Sir, you got a new subscriber. Keep freaking doing what you're doing... All the best!

  4161. Man I am so happy to hear someone bring up the 'food desert'. It is absolutely real and I currently live in one. No close transit, no job availability, groceries from a Dollar General (and happy for that because the other option is the gas station or a liquor store). It's awful and then transitions into health issues which opens a whole different can of worms. Wish more people would recognize how common that is in this country.
    4
  4162. Thank you!!! I'm a baby boomer and my first rock and roll concert was actually the Beatles in '64! In the 60s along with Bernie, I supported the Civil Rights and Feminist Movements and I marched against the U.S. war on Vietnam. I worked on Bernie's campaign as a volunteer. Every time I see the video you played of the teenagers in DC I'm moved to tears! So many of my friends in my generation don't get it and they didn't support his campaign. I can't wait to work with all of you when he announces his campaign (fingers crossed!) one year from now! Don't forget, campaign 2016 kicked off in April 2015.
    4
  4163. Excellent analisys.
    4
  4164. I must admit I did this myself with the Same sex Marriage debate here in Australia prior to the vote. Many people were going to vote Yes or No based upon what they already believed. I would simply point out two humanitarian reasons that we should vote yes, to truckies. The first was that people that have lived together for 40 years are separated at end of life in institutional care because their union is not recognised. The second was that de-facto relationships allowed the children of the deceased to claim a persons estate even though their living/surviving partner was a part of that accumulation. Simple things that heterosexual couples take for granted and see as a right. I didn't beat anyone with the idea, I just shared it as my main reasoning to vote Yes even though I have not connection to the Gay community. One fella rethought his position and the other could see the point but still thought it unnatural.
    4
  4165. I used to assistant manage a Taco Bell. Every once and a while my manger would hire some person who just got laid off from and office job or was retired. They were gone in two weeks. Not fired but they quit. People who talk about how easy fast food is hasn't worked fast food in a couple of decades. Jessie Watters would have been in tears half way through one of our Monday lunch rushes.
    4
  4166. Thanks for the superb coverage of this incident, David. Better than I have seen on the MSM, and I am glad that you looked at the social estrangement problem with empathy. Social neglect is one of the biggest pathologies of neoliberalism that treats people and society as mere expenses, and has no prescription for helping to build social solidarity or ways of enabling people to be gainful, accepted citizens.
    4
  4167. In my opinion, just the FACT that Alex Jones is directly responsible for parents of the sandy hook murders not being able to visit their childrens graves without being HARASSED by his STUPID FANS is enough for me to say, FUCK ALEX JONES..HE GOT EXACTLY WHAT HE DESERVED!!!! FUCK EM!!!!!!
    4
  4168. The Clinton-Obama primary was SAVAGE compared to the Clinton-Sanders primary. See the real truth is that it was SENATOR OBAMA who made Senator Clinton damaged goods. God, memories are short...
    4
  4169. Completely agree with you with Bernie Sanders running with Nina Turner as VP. There are also strong cases for Barbara Lee (as you said), Keith Ellison, Cornell West would also be amazing, but I doubt he'd run, Angela Davis though I'm not sure how well that'll go over with liberals. The list can go on. There's just so many people that have done a great job putting all their effort into social justice and progressive values, and like Bernie says "Not me, us!", any great progressive can take the part of presidential candidate if Bernie decides not to run as long as they have a left populist platform and agenda. This is about all of us. We would just need someone that can get their message across succinctly and intelligently, and can respond well to any question, which is why I hope Bernie does run.

  4170. So Ontario voters are just as easily lead with fake populism as Americans. I watched Ford in some debates and he looks like Trump. A complete and utter MORON.

  4171. Hi David, my first comment ever on YouTube. I would gladly watch you on another website and boycott YouTube forever for this! Can you, Humanist Report, Secular Talk, Jimmy Dore, and TYT get together and choose an alternative website that won't screw you guys?
    4
  4172. john1cheree Yeah black face was acceptable in our culture in the past.....around the same time blacks were being lynched. The cast of Hamilton are various races playing historic figures that were white...and no one painted their skin to look the part, because a persons skin is not a costume.
    4
  4173. Thank you for making this video, best analysis so far.
    4
  4174. At least the Cult of Ben hasn't swooped in on THIS video's comments section, as they did for your takedown of his nonsense about black people liking Black Panther.
    4
  4175. I love Nina Turner. And Barbara Lee.
    4
  4176. I am a financial and ideological supporter. Your phlegmatic and nuance analyses are a breath of fresh air in all the internet hyperbole.

  4177. Thanks!

  4178. Thanks!

  4179. Scandinavian conservatives are way more honest with their ideology then other right wingers They đon't lie to package their beliefs because they know they would be exposed by an educated population.
    4
  4180. Uh huh. We all know Bernie flies around on private jets, rakes-in millions every year sucking-up to Wall St in paid speeches, and lives in a ten million dollar mansion--OH WAIT, SORRY, that was HILLARY who does all those things. How could I be so careless to confuse them?
    4
  4181. Great video David! Apologize? Hillary Clinton? You really are fair!
    4
  4182. Daaaave !!! missed you buddy....feels like weeks even though i know it has only been a few days.
    4
  4183. Summer Solstice, still he won just because a small percentage of Republican voters refused to back up a pedophile. It's not about labels, it's about policies. I don't care whether a candidate calls him or herself centrist, progressive, liberal or socialist, I care whether the candidate is going to work for the best interest of their constituency or serve their donors.
    4
  4184. Every day I get on Youtube after work and check out the new videos from all of my subs, and yes TYT is one of them. I really like TYT and get alot of my news and commentary from them. However there is one sub that I look forward to seeing the new video everyday the most, The Rational National. Keep up the good work David!

  4185. That thumbnail slayed me lol
    4
  4186. Great feedback! I loved the truth in which you spoke in! I watched the entire debate, it was dope & ur right I was confused on y Peterson was upset about the colorism thing, Iā€™m called black all day long lol šŸ˜‚
    4
  4187. The comic relief at the end could only be pulled off by you. Youā€™re classy and coming at things from the correct perspectives. Your show has become my FAVORITE on the internet or television since I began watching Bernie- supported programming in 2016. I do also enjoy Trevor Noah - he has gotten better since Covid hit. But your presentation is the most consistent and best presented. I love the single-topic format. And your thumbnails are easy to find!! (Trust me, I look for them. Ha) Great job!!
    4
  4188. Yeah, the progressives are the wack jobs. Thatā€™s why progressive countries are consistently voted as being the happiest. Tell that to the Roy Moores of the world. Republicans voters got the candidate of their choice (ugh) and Democrats did not (Bernie). So sister, your reasoning is SERIOUSLY flawed.
    4
  4189. I agree with Mr. Doel. Her announcement stinks to high heaven. She claims she'll stop taking corporate campaign contributions, but I wonder how many people realize the DNC is corporate owned and I'm sure she'll get a ton of laundered corporate money though that corrupt organization, as well as numerous "fundraiser" organizations (like the one established by Hillary Clinton) that claim to support progressive Democratic candidates but somehow only fund the corporate establishment candidates doing Wall Street's bidding. If you intend to contribute to a truly progressive candidate, do so DIRECTLY and not through the Daily Kos or the DLCC, or any other outfit funding corporate DINOs. Kirsten Gillibrand tends to vote according to her corporate and well heeled contributor's demands. She tends to promote liberal causes (at least give them lip service) when she's running for re-election, but not so much between elections.
    4
  4190. I could not believe Fran Liebowitz calling him self-absorbed.
    4
  4191. Also, I agree with you 100% in regards that the problem with Canadian piracy is that we don't have access to anything and thus consumers, like me unfortunately, have to resort to piracy like methods, like having an American IP, just to be able to access those sites.

  4192. He's loud mouthed bully, and failed businessman that had to be bailed out, and who doesn't really understand how the economy works. But I thought all that was obvious.

  4193. Doug Ford is bought by the elites. He's a wolf in sheeps clothing and will do more harm to the working classes. He doesn't care for the little guy, he's a fat cat with his fat cat friends.
    4
  4194. Hey! I really like your delivery, David Doel. I like the sound of your voice, the way you speak, and how you present yourself, not to mention the content of what you're saying. You are right next to Jimmy Dore in my ranking, keep up the good work.

  4200. Excellent tribute David !

  4201. Sell your own products & get your own advertisers. TYT has figured it out. YouTube will start paying again eventually. Your videos @David doel generate thousands of views per video. You can leverage this into sponsorships. Small to Midsized businesses desperately need viewership & exposure to compete with the monopolies.

  4202. Yours is an interesting point of view here, but I think that it's positive that Republicans congressman and senators are coming out more to criticize Trump. They might have, for whatever convoluted political reason, thought that this was the opportunity they needed to begin turning on him more, or to test the waters for doing so with relative safety. It is a relatively minor issue even if they're right to criticize him, which I think there's a good argument that they are. Despite being a minor issue, it could be a first move that begins a major anti-Trump trend within the Republican party. They're mad at the things he's said about guns, they're probably embarrassed about the allegations of colluding with Russia during the election, and Trump is anti-trade, which is contrary to at least some common line of thinking in the current Republican tradition. There is much reason toĀ make moves to set the stage for replacing him with a better Republican come election season.

  4203. Armimg teachers and school staff is a absurdity. To get control they want more guns in the very place that have seen violence in? REALLY? How many of us think that is hust insane? I know I DO. Thats like saying combating a radiation leak, with even more radiation. How insane would that be?

  4207. You nailed it at 9:00. People at the top (through mouthpieces like Shapiro, Rubin, Crowder) distract you with cultural issues so you wonā€™t focus on the actual problem which is the greed of the people at the top. Thatā€™s what Thomas Frank first wrote about in ā€œWhatā€™s The Matter With Kansasā€ way back in 2004, and Republicans have been successfully ramping up this strategy ever since to divide the electorate along cultural instead of class lines, and the Democratic establishment has betrayed the people by not fighting back against this, out of their own self-interest and greed and corporate allegiances

  4209. I have been an admirer of Richard Painter's since he brought a lawsuit against Trump for allegedly violating the Emolument's clause of the Constitution. His sassy delivery in such a droll manner has piqued my interest since "ground zero" "Who woulda thunk it"? Based upon what you revealed in this clip - and more - I have felt like a kindred spirit of Mr. Painter's. If I lived in Minnesota, I would most definitely vote for him.. I dubbed him my unexpected anti-hero who made sense every time he was featured in a clip. I still have that view/opinion of him, and it continues to grow and expand over time!

  4210. Excellent analysis. My take on this ... generic minimum wage is irrelevant, we need to crunch the data to form a geo-related (a word?) living wage. Consumers are invigorated by a living wage, any existence of a Politically/Corporately set minimum wage stagnates economies. Essentially, if you are wealthy, you do not buy/need 20 pairs of jeans. You need the living wage masses to go wild and clothe themselves. Actively sabotaging a consumer economy to benefit a negligible percentage of citizens will foment social unrest/turbulence. And where the rubber leaves the road, the out numbered financial elite would rather loose money than loose status.

Also, Kyle said in a Kyle & Corin Podcast once that he is regularly in contact with Anthony Atamanuik, who plays Trump in The President Show. I say 100% Ana Kasparian is in Congress by 2019, whether as a Senator or Congresswoman.

  4223. I don't care if a new candidate supported Clinton, all I care about is what issues are they going to support while in office. Likewise I'd support a corp. Dem. who starts supporting Single Payer, Fight for 15, ending foreign wars & conflicts as well as police abuse, fixing our infrastructure, & making public college free or at the very least affordable, supporting the two state solution & getting money out of politics. Truth is we shouldn't be ideologues like Joy Reid who only support ppl based on cliches & platitudes or worst yet party line.

  4228. I loved the moment when it dawned on you that it was actually 2018 and that the elections were less than a year away. lol. Sometimes I feel like that, but in the US, with our midterms coming up and so much on the line going forward, I feel like the primaries and elections aren't coming soon enough. Need to put more progressives in the house and senate and i am ready to do my part.

  4231. Dave, youā€™re missing the point about the financial contributions. Framing the issue as one where someone changes a position due to a financial contribution, as Hillary does, is the Citizens United position ā€” if you canā€™t show a quid pro quo , Clintonā€™s saying, itā€™s OK. In Clintonā€™s view, thatā€™s ā€œjust the way Washington works.ā€ But, of course, thatā€™s completely wrong. Being bought and sold by large donors constrains the agenda before anyone even thinks of a single vote. Clintonā€™s whole campaign was about how some thingsā€”popular policies like Medicare-for-Allā€”will ā€œnever, everā€ happen because she takes that constraint as a given. Sheā€™s so enmeshed with money and politics, itā€™s normal to herā€”she just canā€™t even understand what the problem is. Bernie obviously does.

  4235. Yeah, great point there: Bernie also wrote a book. In it, dose he whine and complain (despite the fact that he has tons of shit he could legitimately complain about)? Is it about himself? Fuck no, its about the political revolution he obviously cares so deeply about. Compare that with Hillary's book about "me me me", and she just seems like a selfish troll.

  4240. Not trying to be a douche but how much does it cost to put up a channel like yours ? I love what you do but basically you're just giving your insights and opinions on topics of the day. Same as I am doing. Yes I know you put a lot of time into it. I put a lot of time into trying to educate myself on what's going on in our government and economic policies. I think you will get enough support to keep doing what you are passionate about. As do I but I don't do it because I think that's my ticket to riches. Much like authors if what you say is of enough interest then people will pay to hear what you have to say. Don't get me wrong, it sucks that Google/ YouTube has to try and squash public discourse but they aren't banning you. Just cutting off your purse strings. Thereby discouraging those like you from making this your life's work. Keep doing what you're doing. You are building your brand. Explore other avenues of revenue. Maybe you won't get rich but you'll never work a day in your life if you truly love what you do. You are very good @ what you do. You'll get by until we get another way to be compensated by another medium provider. Every band wants to be a rock star but not everyone gets to reach that level. But the true lovers & artists keep doing what makes their life fulfilled at whatever level they can keep doing it. Like Debbie Lusignan, Tim Black, etc... you have a following that will support you. I don't believe it's about the money for you so don't make it about the money. Do what you love, it comes through. When people see that they'll come through for you. Best of luck , I will support you in your endeavors because you do the community a noble service.

On the point of algorithms tending conservative, on my audible account I keep being recommended 12 Rules by Jordan Peterson because I listened to a course on the Analects of Confucius and The Anxious Generation. Neither of these books/courses have anything to do with self help, nor are they political writings and yet my number one recommended for the past year has been Jordan Peterson, the conservative pipeline in these algorithms is blatant.

  4245. Basic income can be applied like the Tax credit is so the amount would be tied with income and would decrease as you make more money. The other option is to give the same to all and you would get it back when you pay your taxes in April. The other thing that people don't talk about with basic income is that there is a bunch of people that are employed to investigate Social seucrity fraud in provinces. You could use these people on corporate and the rich tax evasion investigations. The savings and gains would pay for basic income.

  4249. I don't think I've ever heard a right wing republican spew this kind of vitriol towards Bernie, yet you have demented Clinton supporters, like Kartman, who seem to be endlessly obsessed with hatred towards Bernie.

  4255. I have an idea on rebuilding Puerto Rico, our inner cites and blighted industrial towns leveraging Bernie's plan. I am a Bernie Bro but admit I was unaware he had a similar plan. Here's the deal called Inside Out and Bottoms Up Infrastructure Renewal: 1. Inside out is the rule that says the majority of the labor force, the guys with the picks the shovels, the jack hammer, the labor must come from the unemployed native inhabitant (whether the island or the inner city or WV coal town or my home town, Chester PA). Inside out also means the white collar work, the financial planning, the civil engineering, the urban planning, including multi-purpose neighborhoods, architecture, hybrid renewable power grid and seeding the ability for sustained industrial capacity (jobs), are done by students, interns, grads, and post grads who come form the communities effect. This means HBCU, Puerto Rican schools, Community colleges, local state school, and native graduates. The skin in the game is brown, black and white skin, aligned to the neighborhood or community. This ensure a major chunk of the money is spent on blue and white collar labor from the inside out. An outside in imports labor from outside the community. There is little to no distribution of earnings to benefit the community. There is little to no lasting benefit to locals either. Their pride, like the air, is sucked out of the people. They sit, like animals in the zoo, withing for their cagfe to be cleaned and some food and water left in the dark corner. 2. Bottoms up - The companies who lead the redevelopment, or reconstruction, or resurrection (pick a word) effort are small banks, and small businesses. These business must lead the financial and infrastructure planning but must hire from the inside out through apprenticeships and subcontract to start up cooperatives (employee-owned small businesses, professional and manual labor. Doing so ensure the proper distribution of funds throughout the work force, and a focus on the objective, rebuilding for the present and future well being of the inhabitants. At the same time, you have funded a job and skills training program, where workers learn a trade, like masonry, carpentry, even modern alternative energy skills. You have also taken the folks form the towns an villages who went to school an placed them next to savvy, more senior business and professional people where they learn real-world business, social, technical, and engineering, panning, manufacturing and lifecycle skills. A Top Down methodology begins with the largest investment banks, largest engineering firms, and the largest city planners and real estate developers. They all will take a significant cut of the funding for high salaries, bonuses, befits and other remuneration. Their work will not employ indigenous people, but the haute classe, from the blue blooded universities, and privileged classes. Their objective will be the highest return on their investments by taking the grant money and putting it to work to gentrify the area, creating office space, apartments and town houses to be filled by the rich, many foreign (international) wealthy. I don't have time to go on. I am a slow typist and as you can see make a lot of mistakes. But eh idea of an inside out and top down is the best way to create more jobs for more Americans that resurrects our fallen, blighted communities, incorporates the latest in alternative energy generation, the best ideas in urban planning, and plants the seeds for renewed growth in our industrial capacity. This reduced poverty and crime, provides good work for our under and unemployed, for our kids coming out of college, for small businesses, regional banks and local governments. I realize I under-expressed the need to pull in manufacturing companies into the master plan, but you get the idea. It would be damn sad if Goldman Sachs and Halliburton get the contract to rebuild Puerto Rico or any place. Thanks .

  4256. What a conceited, selfish prick. Not everyone wants to be a billionaire, you know. It's not "aspirational" for me to be like this greedy, out-of-touch, vapid loser who thinks there's nothing more to life than hoarding money, than conspicuously gorging himself at a lavish banquet right in the middle of a widespread famine while the planet boils and multiple species are going extinct at an alarming rate. My own fiscal "aspiration" is to finally have basic financial security for my children and I so that we can, oh, I don't know, maybe have a decent home, take a week's vacation every couple of years, get a proper education and someday retire in comfort and dignity. We're not asking for a lot, and we're all too happy to work for it; I work too fucking hard to struggle so much to feed my children, to live paycheck to paycheck. Yes, sometimes I skip meals so that my kids don't have to. Yes, I once nearly died of sepsis from an easily treatable illness simply for lack of health care coverage. And yes, affordable housing is so scarce where I live that my two kids and I have been tripled up in my mother's spare bedroom since January because even most 1 bedroom apartments are wildly out of reach here. Food, health care, and shelter; I'm not asking for a lot when I work so hard to feed and nurture people for a living, especially when I live in the richest country mankind has ever seen. But people like this sanctimonious asshole aren't satisfied with merely being fabulously wealthy. They want to buy our government too, so they can continue to siphon our own meager wealth on up to themselves. And they won't be satisfied until they have all of it. Whew! You were right, David, that really pissed me off! Especially since he name-checked my own senator, Ron Wyden, who is just a corporatist in sheep's clothing. At least we still have Sen. Merkley here in Oregon, who actually fights to get money out of politics.

  4258. NAFTA did turn out to be terrible, however it had nothing to do with China. NAFTA stands for North America Free Trade Agreement, which means the US, Mexico, and Canada (i e. North America) can all import goods duty free across each other's borders. I'm not sure how it affects Canada, but I know in the US a lot of US companies moved their operations to Mexico for cheaper labor since they could then ship the goods to the US duty free once NAFTA was instated, so it was definitely an incentive for them to move shop to Mexico, which of course put the American worker out of a job. I'm quite familiar with this since I make a living clearing cargo imported to the US through US Customs. I've had to claim NAFTA for some of my customers' goods. Just wanted to clear that up for you. šŸ™‚

Will be interesting to see if people in Ontario gravitate toward social conservative ideas like TGA. Amazing how of course they all want to cut taxes (and that would be great of course), but in terms of spending both TGA and Doug Ford in particular said "we'll find stuff to cut", didn't convince me they have specific ideas on what can be done.

  4281. Hi David, Absolutely love the show. Just a small clarification: at around 20:50 you say that had the Tories been in power, the Justice Minister would have gone for the DPA. Just want to clarify that the decision of whether or not to grant a DPA ultimately lies with the AG and not the Minister of Justice. I know this is confusing because JWR was both AG and Minister of Justice, but the distinction is important as there has been some discussion as to whether or not it should be possible for both of those positions to be held by the same person (I think it absolutely shouldnā€™t). But on the substantive point that a Conservative AG would not have thought twice about giving SNC a DPA, I absolutely agree. I am sure there are loads of examples of corporate cronyism in the Toriesā€™ closet that we will never know about because no Tory would dare stand up to their donor class.

The Libs did that with the hydro thing and everyone fucking hates them for it (for good reason) and this chucklefuck comes along and says: "Lets do that but evEN MORE THIS TIME!"

  4294. David, I realize this is a commentary. But your opinions will have more strength if you back them with facts. You said that the Dems were going after Republicans in the last election and that is why HRC chose Tim Kaine. Yes, that is true.

As someone who ran as a local candidate in the past, I believe you're aware that what's on a website is not representative of the entirety of what you're running on. Even though Jones is running for senate, which seems like something that should have big, national implications, the races are often heavily focused on local issues. So let me give you a brief rundown of things Doug Jones is on record as being for. Doug Jones has publicly called for protecting teacher's unions and expanding funding to public schools. Doug Jones has advocated for strong, protected voting rights laws (one of the very most important issues in the US, period). Doug Jones has advocated for expanding Medicaid in the state, advocated for Healthcare as a human right, and has endorsed universal Healthcare. Doug Jones has advocated for public investment(!!) in jobs across struggling rural communities. Doug Jones has also advocated for a living wage - and let me stop you for a moment as well. A living wage in and of itself is a huge commitment. A lack of specificity on this issue is not inherently negative. Perhaps more importantly, we need to get this idea of "$15 or bust" out of our heads. $10/hr in Alabama is likely a living wage across most of that state, and a system that guarantees a living wage to everyone could be effectively regulated county-by-county. While most of these seem moderate or "establishment" in a national context, Doug Jones is likely the furthest left candidate for national office in Alabama in two decades. He is certainly the furthest left Democrat. Leftists should be cheering for his victory and immediately pushing him to be more specific, more committed, and more progressive. Lastly, on the topic of voters, enthusiasm and the party. Doug Jones is not the most charismatic guy, no issue there. But we should not be looking at this on an individual level. There are critical flaws and failures in the structure of the Democratic party that have nothing to do with political issues. As the party currently stands, it could magically have the strongest, most popular platform ever, and many of these candidates would still lose! You cannot consistently win on charisma or issues alone, you also need the systems behind you that make everything go. I'd highly suggest tuning into the Democratic Reform Commission and listening to what folks like Nomiki Konst and Nina Turner have to say, if you haven't already. I really rambled after all! I really do hope you read at least a little bit of it. Thank you for the video and cheers.

  4305. Furious Styles Dumbass if you knew anything about economics, you would learn that immigrants are not the reason why jobs are hard to find. It's called technology and capitalism

  4306. Come here to steal David's fashion style, stay for the great commentary on politics.

  4307. She cheated and rigged the primary so there's no he may have won, it's SHE STOLE IT! Enjoyed the rest of your review though.

  4308. Canada does need a strong voice for justice to the planet and all it's people, not that fake liberalism.

  4309. I rolled my eyes so hard I saw my brain when you said John Kerry. He needs to let it GO; no one is interested. I definitely agree that having black women on Bernie's side and showing that he doesn't just want another all white all male team around him will help him a lot. But to be completely real with you, I would vote for him again without even having to see one more speech or sentence from him or his team.

  4310. oh god were still suffering from Mike Harris! We dont need another punch in the face
    4
  4311. I see where your coming from, but the feelings among a lot of the Left is that words aren't enough. Obama talked a mighty progressive game, but governed to the Right. Harris might be willing to change her actual policies to be progressive, but she's going to have to prove this. The California Democratic leadership (both congress and the governor) and Obama have showed us what they do when they get power, i.e., not fight for actual progressive policies, hence our strong distrust. Now we're stuck in a position of having to fight like hell for someone who has fought consistently for the policies we want (e.g. Sanders) or, if the Democrats rig it again, get behind another potential Obama who gives us a lot of the talk we want but for whom we have zero faith will actually deliver. You can thank Obama and subsequent Democratic leadership for this distrust. It's been empirically earned. We wouldn't be having this argument in 2009 or even 2013.

  4312. Also can I say I appreciate this clear and easily understood analysis!

  4313. Thanks for covering this!

  4314. It is outrageous when I have friends who voted PC, and are super right winged while they have kids and lower-middle class jobs. They actually think they are going to save money because of lower taxes(which turns out to be a few hundred dollars maybe). But they dont seem to realize that NDP would offer free university which would translate to possible 50-100k in savings alone! Not to mention dental care, daycare, healthcare and prescription drugs etc... enjoy your fake tax break. I just don't get how people cant understand this

  4315. Well said David, drop the big money,

  4316. Guns are one of the most effective methods for killing others or yourself. The easier they are to get, the more deaths you have. It's not that complicated.

  4317. Can you do more videos like this? I like the polls, I want to ask questions on twitter too. Cool to see feedback and get a general consensus of what people are saying.

  4318. WOW!!!!!! and we thought that "Fake News" is just an American feature. I see the that Murdochism has infected all of the British media save the Guardian.

  4319. Sanders has had the same views and ideas for decades! SNL did that skit where Kate Mackinonn transformed into Sanders, from Clinton! Hill even said she didn't think it was funny. No sense of humor, I guess.

  4320. Great video. Sharing.

  4321. Keep up the good work. On point again.

  4322. Medicare ... Medicaid ... Tri-Care ... Obamacare ... Veterans Administration ... Humana ... Carillion ... Etna ... etc, etc, etc ... Americans don't really want to solve this problem, especially Republicans, (but Democrats too), this is a major cash cow for Insurance Companies ... extorting Premiums from sick Americans to pay doctors to save their lives ... what a scam ... they will never change this, it's too good to be true for American Capitalism ... and Americans buy into the scam that they are free ...
    3
  4323. Thank you for speaking my mind, thank you thank you thank you!

  4324. David you are starting to be my favorite progressive channel. As soon as I'm able I really am going to make a donation! Excellent work!

  4325. As a New Zealander watching all the way from Perth, Western Australia (yes, quite the mouthful), I only started taking an interest in US politics the moment I learned about Bernie Sanders and his progressive platform and having the courage to stand against the 1%. And then, Jeremy Corbyn emerged as UK Labour Party Leader along with the mass media smear campaign launched against him at every turn leading into the Brexit referendum and of course, last week's Snap Election resulting in his ultimate surge in popularity. Such an astonishing result that was. For a long time, I have been in search of independent media challenging what the corporate wing has been churning out over the years and funnily enough, that all began with Russell Brand's Trews lol. Then I stumbled upon TYT, which lead to the likes of Jimmy Dore, Kyle Kulinski's Secular Talk and The Humanist Report AND NOW most recently - your show, so I thank you for providing an honest and for lack of a better word, 'rational' point of view where other so-called progressive platforms choose to attack other outlets for disagreeing with their POVs (not naming names), so keep up the good work indeed, Dave. I'll become a Patron for sure - no worries mate! :) In other news, however, NZ is holding an election in September, just saying. Our last PM John Key was a stooge for Obama and was blatantly in support of the TPP which I do believe his resignation was the best thing he ever did. Furthermore, also believing he resigned because Trump became President which "was" going to derail his hopes of the TPP ever going ahead. Key was a Merill-Lynch banker on Wall Street btw so that too oughta tell you something. Anyway, NZ needs change as much as the UK and US but we're still a long way from the style of policies that Corbyn and Sanders are offering.

  4326. Great video Dave

  4327. You make sense David, too bad the people who need to hear it, won't.

  4328. It's what's called American exceptionalism. Americans have been taught since birth. To believe we are far superior to all other nations. But while the idea that the United States is uniquely virtuous may be comforting to Americans. Too bad it's not true. At one time, we may have been. But we are FAR, far away from that America anymore.

  4329. I decided to patronize you because of this video!
    3
  4330. Your channel is incredible!
    3
  4331. I've been listening to people like Kyle Kulinski, Jimmy Dore, and Mike Figuerdo for years, and I've only just found your channel. You're pretty awesome, I'm subbing
    3
  4332. Good points David!
    3
  4333. Completely agree with you on this, David - there is no one walking the middle path anymore in US politics. The Republicans have already sold out long time ago, the Democrats are divided, and the people have lost. Keep up the truthspeaking!
    3
  4334. You just got another subscriber. Very well done analysis. I'd like to see Ms. Turner run for President!

  4335. Nina Turner needs to be the first female POTUS!!

  4336. Hi David, I started watching your channel about three weeks ago. I was searching for a fresh perspective on U.S. politics, specifically, the Democratic Party. I was immediately captivated by your political analysis and rationale, which, by the way, you could not have chosen a better name for your channel. As an American living overseas for 20 years, I detected an objective and intelligent tone to the topics you discuss, which is very refreshing. It's no wonder you have tripled in subscribers in less than a month. Although, I don't agree with some of your opinions and analyses, I do believe in how you do, what you do, and your reasons for doing it, That being said, I'll be giving $10.00 per month to your channel. You are the second person after David Pakman that I contribute to, and I wish I could give more. Your intelligent, logical, and critical thinking when discussing political issues gives me hope that we can disagree in issues and still have a common ground

  4337. Excellent video. I just found this channel and I will spread the word.

  4338. already subscribed some time ago. Like the Rational National

  4339. She doesn't support a livable wage.. ? There is a huge problem with that..If you can't get a livable wage , then like so many, you work as many hours as possible in a day.. And STILL can't make ends meet. What about school? How many can't take time to better themselves by getting some kind of higher education? IF you spend all your time working just to survive. HOW do you better yourself? If you are in a job, that doesn't give you the opportunity for pay raises ,job advancements.. HOW do you better yourself? We tried tickle down since Reagan and it hasn't trickled down, its been sucked UP... Just look at a graph of income inequality since Reagan.. Google it.. Time to go back to what worked .Before Reagan.

  4340. Random memory, I still find it weird to hear from a Hillary supporter that he would have voted for Bernie if he had won the primary as if that would have been the hardest thing for him to do. Also, if they were to vote for the lesser of two evils, wouldn't that apply between Bernie and Hillary? But no, his trip to Nicaragua and what not would've been cannon fodder for the Republicans!
    3
  4341. Thanks for the Canadian perspective. I didn't know about you guys not having access to dental care.
    3
  4342. Wow, thanks, that was so interesting! Lets get David going on some of those green backs! THIS SHOW MUST GROW!

  4343. i respect u

  4344. Way to go David, "Rational" is you and your analysis, keep up the tone, keep up the intelligent analysis and keep up the good work.

  4347. Great seeing you and Mike talking. I've always thought you two are much alike.
    3
  4348. I really like your videos. I wish I would have found it a long time ago. You're educated, you do your research & you truly care, not only for your country but ours & others as well. Keep up the good work & never stop trying to get the truth out there!!

  4349. Whoa. You've gained 4k subscribers in just a few weeks... good job!! Informative channel

  4350. If there was ever a time to give me a shoutout, it would be on this video.

  4351. Nina needs to run for president or as Bernie Sanders' running mate period end of story. I hope Maxine waters was watching. I love her but she is wrong on this issue of Trump
    3
  4352. I had Sen. Turner on my radio show two Sundays ago! She was amazing!
    3
  4353. I Agree with You, David. The Situation is about the Establishment versus Populism, and, similar to what Bernie Sanders was up against, Jeremy Corbyn was up against a Corporate Owned Media!! ~ Facebook became His Friend, and His Manifesto went Viral!! ~ His Authenticity, Compassion, Humanity, and Foci on Peace and Equality, All Shone!! ~ Shine On, Jeremy Baby! ~ Beam Up into that Prime Ministerial Seat ASAP!!
    3
  4354. A very good summary indeed! What the people in the UK had this time was a clear left and right choice and from the left and Corbyn a great sense of hope after 7 years of austerity which did nothing but make the rich richer and the poor poorer. The right campaign was dismal propped up with disgraceful smears from the right wing press. Corbyn shone and I'm proud to have voted for his party. The labour party fully costed manifesto is not a pipe dream that some would like to say it is, but a hope for a brighter fairer society for ALL the people of the UK. Labour under Corbyn galvanised the young and disenfranchised in droves to come out and vote (many for the first time) not because of 'freebies' but because of a vision of a fairer society, he was electrifying in his campaign.

  4355. Excellent channel. Better than The HR and Secular Talk imo. You, David Packman and Jimmy Dore are my favorite progressive channels now
    3
  4356. 60% of us want single payer. We have shit for choices for our elected officials. They are all against it because they get paid off by various groups. Until we get money out of politics, it's going to be a long, slow crawl to the finish line

  4357. Dude, you are crushing it with this channel. Cheers --

  4358. Well stated and presented as usual.
    3
  4359. Well done!
    3
  4360. I'm so anxious about tomorrow & will be going straight to the polls after work however, my biggest concern is the majority of mainstream media (owned by Tory supporters) has been scaremongering & tearing Corbyn down. That's where the masses get their news so it makes me sick thinking May can still win this!
    3
  4361. thanks for calling this out
    3
  4362. excellent as always!
    3
  4363. very good assessment of what happened I just hope more Caucasians would wake up to the truth the truth is Black Americans African Americans are Americans and we deserve rights we deserve rights now
    3
  4364. I'm a socialist myself and although I'm in no way neutral the youth's voting behaviour and grime artists, magazine and celebrity endorsements plus activism through social media opened people's eyes. The only thing that has kept Theresa May holding on by her fingernails is a group of right wing extremists (that's putting it mildly by the way) and the right wing press who influence the stupid, ignorant and gullible. To be fair the national mainstream press threw everything including the kitchen sink at Jeremy and he still got a massive vote share and a lot more seat in the House of Commons in the next election the press will have no ammo and the Tories will be massively discredited. I hoped labour would win but this is a decent result none the less.
    3
  4365. Very informative. I've seen this footage discussed on several shows (Secular Talk, The Daily Show, The Young Turks) and they all play the initial clip (0:19) but none of them show or discuss any footage of the aftermath (5:15) where the police officer talks about his experience.
    3
  4366. I think everyone should try psychedelics at least once, everything you said is true. It allows you to see things from a different perspective, basically what empathy is, seeing things from an others view point. It shows you everything isn't so black and white, right and wrong, its a matter of perspective. And its not even like you have to abuse it, I do mushrooms perhaps once a year, haven't smoked weed in weeks, rarely drink, its not like you are a degenerate because you sometimes indulge in these substances. But some people are so brain washed in their ways... funny thing is, the one thing that will help change their minds is what they are so against!
    3
  4367. New to the channel, really enjoyed that! Keep up the great work!
    3
  4368. Wait wait wait. Did she just admit that she was homophobic to her gay friend and hurt him deeply but still denies that she made the homophobic blog posts? If your going to admit to being homophobic and degrading gay people to their face then you can at own up to a couple blog posts...
    3
  4369. Thanks!
    3
  4370. The other BULL SHIT LIE Republicans always love to spout is that everyone makes nearly the same pay. Totally a LIE as well. My friends son already makes almost as much as his mother does. because he went into a high paying field. Robotics engineering. For FREE! He was offered a job at the company that makes Scania trucks, you may have seen them on the road here. They are lime green & kind of funky looking. He turned that job down. He was barely out of college and had a tremendous job offer. 5 years and he will surely be making way more money then is mom is. I am actually more "Left" then she is, lol.
    3
  4371. YouTube doesn't like anyone who talks about politics outside of the neoliberal bubble. If you're further left or further right than the neoliberals, too bad no ad money for you :( I hope that some bigger progressive channels give you a shoutout or something maybe your audience can grow that way and you can get more supporters who will donate to you.
    3
  4372. Argued against the Democrats coming out in support of gay marriage back then. Now she's arguing against the Democrats coming out in support of Medicare-for-all, free public college, a living wage, ending the wars, etc. Glad to know she hasn't really changed her anti-progressive stance...
    3
  4373. I Also got the feeling you were being generous ti Greenwald. I've followed and admired his voice since before Snowdon, but that doesn't make him immune to criticism. It can be disappointing to see our hero fail this time around... he's been drifting into some strange territory over the past year, a bit like Matt Taibbi, in their scathing hatred for corporate democrats (which I feel too) they've been finding more common ground with right wing talking points and sentiments than i find comfortable to admit. He sounds out of touch and vendicative,like you indicate, channel energies into a winable cause, don't waste it in these few days before the election just to appear like you're making a difference. Plus its not like the Hunter Biden story hasnt been talked about all over the media, Just watch Fox news, Glenn sounds like a pundit of theirs
    3
  4374. Roses are my favorite flower. The fabric is beautiful.
    3
  4375. Exactly! The right wing especially rely on fear of basically EVERYTHING. Yet they claim they're the alpha's. I just see a bunch of whimpering pussies.

  4376. Good old Bernie ,the amendment king !

  4377. Excellent video David. I shared it. I hope ppl can understand this & not let this tax plan go thru.

  4378. As I watched coverage of the election, it seemed clear Bernie was easily the best candidate. I couldn't understand why he wasn't getting coverage, and it wasn't just NBC. It was all the news stations. The only people trying to give him coverage was TYT. SO NOW WE KNOW THE REST OF THE STOREY.
    3
  4379. I thought the Bernie Bros were the violent ones...
    3
  4380. What happened Hillary won, by 3 million votes. And the electoral college gave it to the worst candidate in history. And Bernie you're still here the most popular political person in the country. And were still here to still saying we told you so to the Democratic Party. Whether it's Bernie or candidate he endorses 2020 can't get here soon enough. Still feeling the burn. šŸ”„šŸ”„šŸ”„šŸ”„

  4381. It is so weird hearing about all of the things that you as a Canadian don't have to worry about when it comes to health insurance. I know people who have stayed at a life sucking job for decades purely because that job offered a comprehensive family health insurance plan. Health insurance benefits are a form of compensation here, and can be a serious cause for considering one job over another. That is one reason I was so outraged about the Burwell v. Hobby Lobby supreme court case. They essentially said that 'because of our religious beliefs we can decide what our employees do with the compensation that we give them'. You can't tell your employees that they can't buy beer with their paycheck, why can you tell them they can't get birth control through their insurance?
    3
  4382. One time my mom had an irregular splotch on her arm that could have been skin cancer and it took several months before they had time to take a sample and send it to a lab. I can't remember exactly, I think it was four months. It wasn't cancerous, thank goodness, since it took so long. Obviously, early detection makes an enormous difference in the success rate of treatment for cancer, but clinics in the U.S. apparently make you wait for months. I don't know what people are referring to when they talk about waiting lists and "death panels" in Europe, implying that care in the U.S. is somehow first rate and lightning fast.

  4383. It's not random. It's the corporate oligarchy dropping the hammer on anything that goes against their establishment narrative.

  4386. 1. Morning Joe is playing word games. He equivocates between "Democrat" and "Leftist." Yes, most faculty members at U.S. Universities are Democrats. That doesn't mean they're leftists. 2. The people that run the universities (Chancellors and other sorts) are much more Republican. 3. Many departments and individual faculty increasingly rely on external funding, since the federal/state governments limit and cut spending at universities. This gives groups like the Koch brothers [1] influence, if not direct say, over faculty choices at universities. ** 1. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/sep/12/koch-brothers-sought-say-academic-hiring-university-donation

  4387. That's what the right does. 1. Invent strawman 2. Complain about invented strawman 3. Tell everyone how we need to destroy invented strawman.
    3
  4388. It has nothing to do with offensive in the way we would understand it. What it is, is offensive to power. To the established orders and narratives. You, Kyle Kulinski, TYT, etc. You're all being demonitized, marginalized. At 9m11s you had it down right. They are strangling descent in the crib with the weapon a capitalist society has. Your income. Kyle in a recent video also pointed out how the media is also washing the left-wing side of the story out of all discussion of YouTube demonitization. If you read or watch news on issue from outside those effected, you'd think it was only right-wing hate programs under the thumb.
    3
  4389. Yep. And thank you David. It is so important and beneficial to point out manipulations, to help people begin to identify and pick up on it when it is employed, or maybe I could say instead, deployed. I wish they would get a few on the right who could point out the manipulations in MSM and right-winged media, to help them to think more about some things, and of course also help them think less about some other things. But then again, that whole approach would have to break down pretty quickly, as any would soon have to cease being right wing, as it wholly operates today, so we won't likely ever see such as that happen. Maybe a few right-Libertarians would become left-Libertarians, which would help a bit.
    3
  4390. Corbyn is taking on the establishment corporate powers- and winning!!!! Yes he is a perfect Rational Choice!!!

  4391. David glad you're discussing this and interested and care, this country is circling the drain. Need all help it can get young and old with some common sense which is not common.
    3
  4392. "Do you have basic knowledge of govt?" ... "Aha, a gotcha question!" Wow.
    3
  4393. Ya your videos are offensive, to the neo-liberal establishment. They are are trying to snub progressive voices like yours, Kyle (Secular Talk), David Pakman, all of the left voices. But stick it out, I believe you guys will eventually win.

  4394. To change them hostile takeover style.

  4395. Great piece. It is good that you point our President Trump's cowardice when he was a young man, where he could have served or chosen to protest. By doing so you continue to remind the world, the great paradox that exists where cowards send the brave to die, and cause the brave to rise up and question. If only all of us, those who served and those who publicly resisted, would join together and demand justice be served on the cowards. For their reasons were many, and none honorable. They robbed the people's treasury of their money, their liberty, their children, their health, and their lives as well as the same of their neighbors they attacked. And now, in their final act of detestable desperation, and grotesque hubris, call on our patriotism, to condemn the protester, and continue to do injustice to the veteran.

  4398. Good reporting

  4399. He literally described an example of affirmative action for white males in the video. What is soft minded is complaining about something not being in the piece while it literally was ... that makes your complaint look "Dumb"
    3
  4400. This guy is an A$$! We don't have a problem with people "doing well". We have a problem with those "doing well" not paying their "EFFING" fair share of TAXES!! When you get rich off the backs of others, that is NOT "WELL"!
    3
  4401. Dave, you and people like you are the hope for the best future of this country. Keep it up.
    3
  4402. You're 100% right about the importance of psychedelics. Sounds like lunacy to anybody who hasn't tried it, but it's all true. There needs to be a safe, legal, supportive context for using psychedelics in our society. David, do you know about the psilocybin ballot initiative in Oregon for 2020? It's a very responsible proposal. https://psi-2020.org/the-measure/ I think it can provide a good example for other states and countries to follow as well.
    3
  4403. I have been talking to other you tubers about how an artist/vlogger/video content creator co-op and a video service similar to youtube would really benefit all you tubers that have been demonetized. A standard corporate shareholder business model will always do this to us. People are trying things like Twitch, but its not enough, we need something where the content creators all have a voice and a share of the profits and where the establishment media cannot put a stranglehold on us. I would love to hear your thoughts on this. Thanks, Dean

  4404. Man I miss the Obama from that speech, that's a true progressive there. Massive shame he wasn't like that as president.

  4405. I am a Joy Reid fan but do feel the opinions shared in this video. All of the mainstream news broadcasts are too extreme - no unbiased news out there. I plan to subscribe to this channel and see if I can get some unadulterated political news for a change.

  4406. As a GenXer, you Boomers did change the world. You destroyed unions, shipped good paying jobs overseas, ended pensions, crashed the stock market, jacked up the cost of higher education to start and keep young people in perpetual debt, increased our incarceration rates to the highest in the world, and stopped holding those responsible for these messes criminally responsible just so you could make an extra buck. To quote Bob Dylan so maybe you'll get it: Come senators, congressmen, please heed the call Don't stand in the doorway, don't block up the hall For he that gets hurt will be he who has stalled The battle outside ragin' Will soon shake your windows and rattle your walls For the times they are a-changin' Come mothers and fathers throughout the land And don't criticize what you can't understand Your sons and your daughters are beyond your command Your old road is rapidly aging Please get out of the new one if you can't lend your hand For the times they are a-changin'

  4408. So what is Joe saying that the left should abandon fighting for the equal treatment of minorities and adopt the tactics of the right of ignoring or outright denying institutional racism in the justice system? Look, I agree the Dems have been overly focusing on identity politics but I'm not going to outright abandon it. There is absolutely nothing "unifying" about downplaying or ignoring discrimination against marginalized groups of people at all.

  4411. Remember the first debate in the primary, where Bernie spoke directly with conviction and the other candidates thought about the best way to answer? What I have observed about Elizabeth Warren is you see the wheels turning, just like the other 4 initial candidates not named Bernie Sanders.

Just pick two ignorant/ arrogant quotes from the so called president like: " The beauty of me is that Iā€™m very rich.ā€ " All of the women on The Apprentice flirted with me ā€“ consciously or unconsciously. Thatā€™s to be expected.ā€ Proof he is an out of touch rich boy. I'm sure he's not the only one. I think the Dreamers should STAY - become full citizens and ALL the rights that go with it !

All my adult life I wished for us to have someone like FDR and Eleanor. Whenever I see him on Youtube, I am filled with love. I wish I could send you some money, but I got sick and I was forced onto Medicaid, which took my pathetic little teacher's annuity and all my Social Security. That's the USA. I love your videos. I look for them every day. Loved the one about your Peru experience> I've never tried it, but I'm curious -- I have long-standing chronic PTSD. All the best and thank you SO much.

  4423. I don't even think young Cenk's comments are that offensive. Like, back in 60s, progressive folks advocated free sex and stuff and derided those kill joy puritan types, right? What's wrong with urging people to enjoy more sex rather than, say, being greedy and bellicose? I don't think it's malicious or anything. Plus, Cenk didn't force anyone to do anything. He just expressed his sentiment. Probably it's a little insensitive, but by my standard it's definitely not an "extremely disturbing sexist" comment. WTF...

  4428. Love the coverage of Ontario politics, but I sorta wish you'd gone beyond the sex ed stuff from that debate and into some of the other crazy, such as how all of these candidates want to get rid of the province's cap and trade system and replace it with nothing. That is not only socially irresponsible, but also fiscally moronic considering they've all agreed to run on the People's Guarantee, which only manages to pay for its promises due to retaining a form of carbon pricing. And then when these candidates were asked about this fact, they all suggested a value for money audit to cover the costs, which was a measure that the People's Guarantee had in place, and some of them even estimated it would save less than their platform suggested it would. The only candidate who even acknowledged that this measure was already mentioned in their platform was Mulroney, and she just sort of hand-waved it rather than addressing how it clearly would not be enough.

  4429. Let me get this straight.

  4431. Great video. Shared on Facebook. I will note that Hillary isn't the only reason she lost. Interstate Crosscheck and other examples of massive voter disenfranchisement in key regions played a big role. As much as I despise her -- and I do -- I have to concede that, in an honest election, she would've won -- barely, but still would've won. Greg Palast has done great work in tracking the effects of Interstate Crosscheck and shown that the numbers of would-be Democrats, mostly minorities, who were summarily removed from the voting rolls in key states was greater than the margins by which she lost those states. All of that being said, though, it shouldn't have even been close enough for something like Interstate Crosscheck to have a significant effect, and that is squarely on her and her campaign alone!

  4439. I really doubt you're good at your job, that or you have a different target audience. A 4 minute video here would convince nobody who's slow enough on the uptake to buy into this kind of BS in the first place, there are a lot of subtle assumptions and prejudices that the people on the clip rely on, which have to be dismantled a piece at a time, and David did just that.
    3
  4440. David, only a few questions / commemts here in general and not being patronizing and these can be rhetorical obviously. do you incorporate SEO / keyword research? Just testing freestyle can help too while learning the more technical stuff that one doesnt know yet. For instance try simple tests like adding a politically relevant banking topic bc 1st national bank of texas is trending or has a high payout ad search. If someone says Hillary always reply when you can adding the word Clinton because it ranks higher with both words. Bernie Sanders? throw in 2016. Bernie Sanders 2016 is highest ranked. This are just random madeup tweaks or examples. Need more than twitter to draw more viewers. Need other owned sites as both draws and $ streams and backups, like syndicating your videos and content across media. People have complained about losing hundreds of videos. Heartbreaking stuff. Cant one request review of any demonitization with standard cut and paste replies to save time? Do the videos in question say they were demonitized or are there just no adsense ad bot matches from adverters at this time? Campaigns begin and end and advertizers change paramaters. Like they may not want to be on a national anthem protest video etc. after the first week when things get nastier so they exclude those matches on videos. Or they just want the first week of a video. You already know a this type stuff, so who am I talking to. You know about how the ad bots work now by checking out key things about your video, your audience, the devices they use, the comments, what they are guessing are your audience demographic etc... advertizers have their own bots and prowl and go bid in bot to bot auctions with youtube bots arbitraging the bids. Creators need to get an overview if they dont already have an idea of how to find the best ways to work the arena so to speak. I would be sure to put an educational fair use statement in the descriptions of videos when using video clips, including news clips, from others? Avoid other ppls music (and use nice free music) but I think you already avoid the music issue. which is a little saddish bc music is so good. but tricky. There are free tools that can help with optimization to improve your earnings where small techniques and tweaks and tips can add up. I will be back with one sample link to a guy on youtube who has a recent listing of top ten free keyword tools. https://youtu.be/qclUCIApN_o look in his description of his video he has the links. FYI on this video of yours I got three different ads run. google, kfc and a wordswift or some program that helps fill out forms automatically. Edit: do triple stack playlists? your playlists are under utilized. linked / affiliate marketing? where do ppl order your tshirt mug cap calendar etc? Where is your downloadable ebook... A Canadian's View of The State of American Progressive Politics? based off your channel. Sponsors. Mail Time where people send you money and gifts to your PO Box. Honestly some ppl will do that rather than PayPal or Patreon, but that too.

  4441. David, when you have a seven-digit dollar bank account, don't lose your empathy. I think it's pathetic that shitty channels like WatchMojo has 18M subs, while you, the Majority Report and others have so few. TYT is huge in terms of online news, and still it's not even close to the largest YouTube channels. What does that say about us as a people. (Rhetorical)

  4446. I find it interesting that the Republican Tax reform (IE tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations), raises the taxes on everyone at least 2% while giving the top earners a tax cut of about 4.9%. The corporations would only be taxed at a maximum of 20% from 35% which I find interesting that the majority of corporations only pay about 20% now. Looks like the corporation will now effectively pay no tax at all. https://fas.org/sgp/crs/misc/R42729.pdf

  4453. Congratulations on your radio spot. I would like to hear your take on why Trudeau jerked Canadians around when he promised electoral reform that would make everyone's vote count in the 2019 election and then reneged. Do you think the Liberals and Conservatives felt threatened by the fact that some form of Proportional Representation was found to be the most fair and democratic of all of the options they studied?

Find that clip whereby Hillary had a breakdown, when Obama brought up NAFTA, several times during their Primary. I believe its when she had her staff find Rev. Wrights Sermon and took it out of context! I'm sorry, Bernie DID WIN the Primary, and you KNOW, he was CHEATED! With all of Hillary's CRONIES in many of those states, FLIPPED, TRASHED and cheated Bernie out of MILLIONS of votes/ballots! CA along, whereby they called the election, before all the ballots were counted! BERNIE DID WIN and like John Kerry, did NOT FIGHT nor CONTEST the outcome!!!! This is what pisses me off about WEAK ASS DEMOCRAT'S! If they did this to a Republican, no way in hell would they have gotten off that easy! Remember Al Franken and that Republican he won against in WI? It took MONTHS before Al was allowed to take his Seat in the Senate! This is the only thing I RESPECT about the reTHUGS, they FIGHT, no matter how WRONG they are!!!!! and Dem's refuse to fight, no matter how RIGHT they are! I am ASHAMED & DISGUSTED with the Democratic Party and why I am an Independent!

  4484. "Ford ran for the 2014 Toronto mayoral election and lost. In 2011, Ford promoted an alternative plan for the Port Lands district of Toronto, including a monorail, a boat-in hotel, the world's largest Ferris wheel and a mega-mall. The plan was ridiculed in the media and council voted it downā€”including by members of the mayoral executive committee. Ford caused controversy after revealing that his brother Rob would be served a subpoena if Rob's friend and driver Alexander Lisi went to court over charges of extortion. Ford commented that the subpoena was in "payback" of Toronto Police Chief Bill Blair not getting a contract renewal with the Toronto Police Service, saying "This is why we need a change at the top", in regards to Blair's contract. Blair filed a defamation lawsuit, demanding a written apology in exchange for dropping the suit. Ford apologized verbally and then later apologized and retracted the comments in writing. An investigative report by The Globe and Mail published in May 2013 alleged that Ford sold hashish at James Gardens for several years in the 1980s, based on interviews with anonymous sources. Ford, who had never been charged with an offence, denied the allegations and accused the newspaper of unfairly targeting his brother, then-Mayor Rob Ford. The newspaper defended its report and its use of anonymous sources at an Ontario Press Council hearing, which dismissed complaints against the newspaper and found that its coverage was "fair and ethical". Ford said at the time that he planned to sue the newspaper for libel. When asked in a 2018 interview why he had not sued, he replied that he had decided a lawsuit would be a "waste of time". In regards to Northern Ontario, Ford criticized the Liberal government for not proceeding quickly enough to develop the Northern Ontario Ring of Fire, saying that he'd get on a bulldozer himself if necessary. His comments in regards to Ring of Fire development have been criticized as being "simplistic" and disregarding the patience required to negotiate with Indigenous peoples in regards to land claims and ensuring Indigenous communities receive a share of any economic gains." Yeah, "not" a loser, I guess.

  4487. Thank you for being level-headed about Wiki. As well as knowledgeable. You can pretty much instantly tell when people have not watched even one of Assange's videos and have just bought whatever they've been sold about him/Wiki. I do not believe they had a horse in the race with regard to the election. (And if they'd had stuff to share about Trump, they wouldn't have tried getting it from them through messages with Jr.) Also, if they'd held on to what they had on the DNC/Clinton and then shared it after the election, that would have been favoring the very people/institution being exposed. Talk about immoral. (And even still the leaks would have caused major problems if leaked afterward.) Assange also said they, like the American people, also were watching polls and thought Hillary was going to win regardless of what they leaked.

He can exercise his free speech and I'll express mine by not watching or following him.

  4501. David Doel, I just started watching you and so far your analysis is steps above the other youtube left leaning political and news channels. While you seem in the millenial age range you are more classy and articulate than this demographic of these channels I have seen thus far, including the highest watched one with older hosts. I would rarely say this to anyone unless I saw big appeal potential and high channel growth coming, but read what James wrote below and lay off slang cursing or cussing as some call it. You dont need it. Your measured presentation style and voice are more professional than most of the cable news outlets. Really great work you are doing with how you cover things and expressing your own unique points of view. I will keep listening when I do agree and listen closer when I do not agree because I usually learn something.

  4508. Greed? Such projection. "Socialism" involves the government having nurturing roles that support the society as a whole. It's the opposite of greed. Greed is what the corporatism that Republicans promote is all bout, valuing corporate and other special interests over the general public's interests(when it comes to the roles of government and where taxpayer money goes). Currently, legal brides provide a direct avenue for companies to get favors from the government, siphoning taxpayer money by asset stripping nurturing government roles. Be it allowing a factory to run dirtier, or creating laws that promote monopolies, they cash in through their positions and by investment in the industries that they favor. You see it across the board from the Republicans, and it's the epitome of greed. They promote irresponsibility. Companies that rely entirely upon a taxpaid society and consumers for their profits, must be expected to pay back into it. That's nothing like theft, unless you have the critical thinking abilities of a child, and are unable to see the obvious flaws in that right-wing talking point.
    3
  4509. I think this is spot on. If voters cannot clearly differentiate between the two party candidates then it would make no sense to run them. This is only feeding into the narrative that there are no or small differences between both parties and that is NOT how Democrats should want to run or be viewed in similarity to Republicans. I think Democrats need to stop underestimating the power of convincing arguments to change the minds of voters. ''The south'' is not one big monolith of pro-life extremists. There are people who are already moderate on most social issues and there are people that can agree to disagree. But you have to have authenticity, strong convictions, arguments, presence, and relationships in the community.

IMO Chapelle knew what he was doing with saying shit like being Team TERF and gay people taking jobs from "more deserving people". Like, if you're gonna say people need to stop being offended, then maybe realize we're not offended but tired of lazy, bigoted jokes done at our expense. Also, he basically pulls the "I have a trans friend" card at the expense of a woman that can't even speak for herself anymore. Like, do you know that with absolute certainty that she wouldn't have called you out on these "jokes"? LGBTQ+ people get punched down enough with oppressive garbage and are especially more oppressed in most parts of the world compared to the U.S. Even if it isn't as extreme as other countries, LGBTQ+ people constantly have to worry about others in society denying even basic shit like housing just because of who they are. Fuck outta here with this, "you don't understand Chappelle's message" crap. You wanna talk about absurdity in the world? How about you change people's minds and not let the absurdity of life take over like the bathroom bill shit across the country. I'm so tired of this shit.

  4515. Snowflakes who cry about people like Kaepernick taking the knee during the US national anthem don't even realize the hypocrisy of their complaints. Singing a song about the "land of the free and home of the brave", while chastising another for risking his professional career by making a statement about all of the injustice the country actually represents. It seems to me, that Kaepernick stands more for freedom than his opponents actually do, and he's certainly more brave.

  4517. David -- Unfortunately, my income is so meagre that I can't be a patreon. Yet speaking for the needs of people like me is central to your purpose. Like your complaints with youtub, my employer does not pay me what I honestly earn, and the reason is that the employer prefers to steal my earnings and keep it for "themselves." That, of course, is likely the motivation of youtube. As the US electorate should have known for decades, this is exactly what the reagan Revolution and the subsequent rise of neo-liberalism, exists to achieve. The suckers who have brought us this mess continue to revere ronald reagan, and nominate Hillary-type creeps who intend to intensify this process, when the government's proper role should be to protect citizens from criminals, such as thieves. You recently said that you might like to migrate to the USA. I don't recommend it, but if you do, realise that this outrage is supported by (apparently) most Americans. Theft of others' earnings is apparently believed tobe"The American Way."

  4524. Thank you for your videos. They provide some of the most balanced and rational political commentary out there. (Okay, that was a pun but it is also truth. The choice of name for your show was perfect!) Hope your job hunt is going well. Its a tough market in this economy, but my take on you is that you are a clear minded, intelligent & articulate person with both drive & initiative. People like you are valuable in any market. Something positive will happen soon, if it hasn't already. BTW, are the chips Tostitos?

  4527. There is also a difference between an intellectual point that I don't agree with, and an uncalled for ad hominem attack. Ingram wasn't an innocent intellectual making a counterpoint to Hogg's argument. Ingram brought in a completely unrelated thing about his college applications, and completely mischaracterized the tenor of what Hogg said. She used an intellectually dishonest red herring to create click bait. Ingram was clearly using her much larger platform and financial clout as a cudgel against an accidentally famous high school student. Of course Hogg should call attention to this... And remember, the advertising executives had the choice... Obviously they found Ingram harmful to their brand. That's not on Hogg... Laura Ingram is a racist, and doesn't care about poor people. Unfortunately for Ingram those positions don't help companies sell dog food and razor blades in 2018. It's called demographics and they're not on her side.

  4537. You know, this clip is actually huge. It's a first hand account of corruption in the democratic party. Now whenever the Hillbots and establishment shills demand that the left unite behind Pelosi, Shumer, etc., we can just show them this clip. If you want a democratic party for the people, these establishment shills need to be run out, it's that simple. As long as they're in power, the party will not act in the interest of the US citizens.

  4553. It is good to note that even those numbers BBC reported wasn't the actual numbers. The numbers you see there are the difference gained/lost from last election so in actual fact it was better for labour and worse for conservatives! Plus in Wandsworth which they are yapping about Labour actually got the majority vote and never in history has it been a swing so in actual fact these fuckers are shitting themselves. I'm pretty sure they will be talking in corners about replacing Theresa May. They are getting thrashed by Corbyn's big time and that's with all the power of the Blairites behind them.

  4566. I watched that clip yesterday and I kept shouting at my phone in frustration. These people built a world working for the few instead of a world that works for everyone equally. A civilised country has three basic rights healthcare,education and safety. Yet these elitist dickheads who have been enslaving the working class for decades driving them into poverty and draining them of dignity donā€™t even believe in the peopleā€™s right to be healthy if not rich. Medicare for all is one of the best human achievements and been proven thro countless studies and applications that it provides a healthy population,less bills and more efficiency.

  4574. Maxine made NO call for any ā€œattackā€ and David never advocated for any violence whatsoever. You can follow and unfollow anyone you choose but itā€™s disingenuous to put words in peopleā€™s mouths that completely change their message. Both the senator and David are advocating non-violent truth telling with respect. But itā€™s no time for being ā€œniceā€ to people who are failing to carry out their responsibilities as ā€œleadersā€. But not being nice and polite does not mean anyone supports violence. Just stop making stuff up.
    3
  4575. You seem to think that a call for a relentless protest against members of the government (a protest that is against the policies those officials represent, not the persons themselves) is the same as harassing minorities for no other reason than hate. If you heard an encouragement to violence in the video, you must be projecting. Trump and his administration are actually pushing for the spread of racism, bigotry, vote suppression, authoritarianism and outright violence and blaming the left when the inevitable result is that the situation gets heated is rich. First you show respect, then you can demand respect. Spit on your neighbours and don't be surprised if you get spit back. This administration are grown adults and it's high time they learn this basic rule of social interaction that normal people learn at kindergarten.

Wall-Street deregulation und the bombing of Yugoslavia. I mean... GREAT!

  4600. The only reason I have an idea of the conditions in Alabama, lack of water in Cape town,the teachers strike in West Virginia, etc. etc is from independent media. I live in a metro area, so when I'm downtown there's TV's every where. Every time I see one and it's mainstream news it's Russia, the latest dumb shit Trump did/ said or Stormy.

Meanwhile, we need to defend the BDS movement, we need to defend independent media, we need to push back against the adpocalypse, and we need to push back against the Russia narrative and it's use as justification for censorship.

  4614. mott orcycle Your spin is strait out of the mouth of corporations who write your talking points. Pretending the min wage increase helps the "upper class" folks and not low income families is not well connected to reality. This response of yours does not even make sense. Prices always rise and you can not show they have risen faster because of this change. The lowest paid people getting more does help with the collecting of taxes (which helps us all) but also puts more money in the hands of those workers creating additional new demand which translates to more jobs. No one ever hires anyone unless they have need of that person because the demand requires it. The path to retailers getting electronic checkouts was already happening long before the min wage and blaming them on the increase is silly.

  4615. "you're not so different from Joy Reid" .... I think arguing in bad faith and arguing in good faith is a big difference. Both are form of propaganda... but the dude from the Rational is laying down the facts to inform you.. while Joy is pushing a narrative regardless of the facts. But if the person was a real listener... he would know that already.. He just wants to see it as both side and fish out hypocrisy on the cheap.

  4618. 'Becoming' corrupted is a description that is more than a little late. I haven't thought much of her since her Monsanto vote. She talks a good game. Glad she says something. But her votes are what are most important, when it gets down to it. Only eight Senators voted against growing our bloated military budget and keeping the Military Industrial Complex (Corporations with government military contracts) in their profits at our expense. She wasn't one of them. She was one of the 89 that voted for it. Corker (R-TN) Gillibrand (D-NY) Leahy (D-VT) Lee (R-UT) Merkley (D-OR) Paul (R-KY) Sanders (I-VT) Wyden (D-OR) https://www.cnbc.com/2017/09/18/senate-passes-700-billion-defense-policy-bill-backing-trump-call-for-steep-increase-in-military-spending.html https://www.senate.gov/legislative/LIS/roll_call_lists/roll_call_vote_cfm.cfm?congress=115&session=1&vote=00199#position Remember the Trump/Schumer/Pelosi meeting of the minds session recently?

Coming from Canada, if you say youre just giving money to "welfare" cases, right winger people will go CRAZY And we actually need some of their votes... there is not too much of a difference between some right and left wingers, problem is a lot of right wingers just havent realized how corrupt corporations are

Yeah, for every clip you show there, there's another of Scarborough basically stating that Sanders doesn't know what he's talking about, etc. And the comment he gave on "Trump is a one-off, Sanders is the real revolution", he only said that after Clinton had secured the nomination. Goddamn, I hate MSNBC. It's literally just propaganda for the billionaire-class Liberals and the DNC.

  4634. I don't hate her but I really don't trust her What Steve did really locked in my hated for Wall Street and the fact that she could of stop that and didn't is something I'm not about to forget I'll have to find the link but here's one story While one West Bank kicked out families and Harris was on post Forgive me for being bleeding heart lefty on this one but I broke into when I heard it Anyways, a little girl got sent to the principal's office for putting her lunch in her pockets, when the principal asked why she said because my parents ( who lived in a van) haven't ate today. Those people kicked out by one West Bank went through that while Goldman Sachs raised CEO pay, while Steve munuch or whatever banked off of misery, while kamala had power to change it but instead profit herself off it, it's one of many reasons why I couldn't support Hillary it's why I said any friend of Wall Street is my enemy because I can't get behind that. Anyone who doesn't have a moral conflict with shit like that will never get my vote So while I don't know enough to like or dislike her I know enough that I don't trust her I don't trust greed no matter what face you put on it

  4637. In other words, instead of Trump going around saying that every thing is "rigged" against him, the real rigging was being done by Clinton. Imagine if it was Bernie against Trump? The orange buffoon would have been eviscerated into fucking pulp!!! All hope is not lost guys. Bernie will come back bigger and better!

  4638. Jimmy Dore covered the same issue. Such a travesty to see this happen, but we have another voice out there fed up with our oligarchy, not democracy, that the MSM loves to ignore. Thank you, David!

  4644. Thanks David, I like that you comment on the comments. It's very interesting and it shows that you are open to feedback. I like the way you ask for money too. You aren't trying to sweet talk anyone, you just lay it on the line.

  4649. At this point, I feel like the only solution is a one state solution named Israel - Palestine and all these extremists should be jailed or tried before the International court of Justice, Netanyahu and his cabinet for the continued oppression of Palestinians and Hamas for their atrocities. This land clearly needs moderation.

  4650. And there's a ton of cherry picking by these people. The same people who jerk-off into GW's powered wig would have a spastic fit if you told them the founders' opinions on standing armies and large corporations, especially banks.

  4656. Australia has similar laws, i.e., the Racial Discrimination Act 1975. From wikipedia: The Act makes it "unlawful for a person to do an act, otherwise than in private, if the act is reasonably likely, in all the circumstances, to offend, insult, humiliate or intimidate another person or a group of people; and the act is done because of the race, colour or national or ethnic origin of the other person, or of some or all of the people in the group." See the wiki article on "Section 18C of the Racial Discrimination Act 1975" in particular. I like having such a law, especially for the reason David mentioned about creating an awareness among people that you can go too far, even if the law is rarely invoked.

  4657. Sorry you have to deal with this shit dude. Honestly, I wish I could help you, but too many people are asking for money these days. I already subscribe to TYT Network, already donate to Justice Democrats, and am a Patreon for Kyle on secular talk. I wish you the best, but I honestly cannot afford to keep giving.

  4658. Thank you David for Everything you said in the 1st 5 min of this video re Warren and Biden-your understanding from a woman's point of you just what happened there is why YOU are my favorite of all the (mostly male) Progressive Independent YouTubers I watch- none of them addressed that moment as you did. Great job. I also LOVED the moment where Bernie calls out the health care industry as "dysfunctional and cruel" and called out even MORE importantly the Democratic Party for its corruption in protecting the status quo

  4659. You Kyle and Mike are favorite political commentators

  4660. David, my first time ever viewing one of your videos. I'm a Scotsman. Firstly, thank you for correctly referring to my Country as an actual 'Country' and not as many of your American compatriots call us 'British' or 'UK'. We are indeed a separate country and passionate about it. :-) We don't recognise the 'UK'. A dear friend of mine is a PhD academic who advises our government on the NHS. It is indeed free. The marches are a result of an aging ailing population placing pressure on the system and a conservative English overlord government trying to do a Trump with funding cuts. Btw, whenever I hear that sicko Trump refer to my country or try to claim heritage to it, I feel sick in the stomach. He is HATED with a vengeance in Scotland. You have no idea how much! https://m.youtube.com/watch?t=12s&v=3pbTmXsfiYk Please do all you can to eradicate your American Taliban. We, the world are affected by his actions and we are watching him embarrass you. All the best.

  4661. Oh lord who the hell cares what you are wearing David..thats NOT why we watch your program..wear whatever you want to wear David..THANK YOU FOR KEEPING ME INFORMED ABOUT THAT CREEP IN THE WHITEHOUSE AND ALL HIS CRONIES!!!!! keep up the great work..RESIST!!!!!!

  4663. Likewise, other countries have laws and constitutions but they are living documents, not some kind of holy text, unless they are saying the people who wrote these documents are psychic and could see 100's of years into the future then its insane to say you can not change things or should I say make amendments. Its bizarre that they say the second amendment can't be changed when they have already bastardised its meaning. It was originally to make a militia, the founding fathers didn't want a standing army and they needed a militia in case there was a war and also for slave patrols. As soon as slaves escaped, a militia was formed to hunt them down and return them to their owner. The owning of human beings as slaves was also a protected amendment until it was amended to end that practise but listening to Steve Scalise if he'd been around roughly a 160 years ago he would have argued to keep slavery, after all its part of that unchangeable holy constitution. I don't know what word comes to mind to other people living in free western style democracies about how some American's act on their earlier politicians and laws but I can think of two words, irrational and insane.

  4664. One I am a Black American so I know of what I speak. Joy Ann Reid is a survivor of the MSNBC purge of "Black Whisperers" like Melissa Harris- Perry, Toure, Al Sharpton and Tamron Hall(who apparently being Lawrence O'Donnell's girlfriend was not enough to save her) when the Obama Administration was coming to an end. She has somewhat of a following among black female professional Baby Boomers and Gen Xers. She is featured from time to time in black media mainly magazines. I am sure that having survived the "Black Purge" is more than enough a motivation not only just tow the corporate Neo-liberal line but to be a super duper reliable and can be counted on to bash Bernie Sanders and truly progressive proposals like Medicare for All at any given opportunity. She is a Harvard Alum with three children who if not at college age are definitely approaching it. Ivy League tuition are a bitch.

  4665. Will this be a daily thing? I could listen to you talk for hours everyday. Also cool to hear your transition and how that affected your politics. Policy is the priority and way to gain power.
    3
  4666. Canadian also here with a thought about "Draft Bernie": I decided that if Bernie S. wants to run against Trump for POTUS as a Democratic Nominee, that's great, and what the draft Bernie group needs to do, is to convince him that, should the Democratic party cheat him again, he will run for POTUS anyway, and that there will be a progressive base supporting him. They should establish the new party in any event, so that Bernie can win under a banner other than Independent. I also realized that if Bernie wants to save the foresaken country, then awesome, but if he doesn't... well, I can't blame him (even though he seems to be the only one even near the plate)

  4671. Ā @monsterram6617Ā  Dude, You have made several value statements about the value of race, religion, and culture that I would argue are as equally unable to be demonstrated as "true" as you think religious claims are, especially considering that there are a great many people in this world who objectively place greater value on all those things than you seem to. If you know of some cosmic subjective standard by which you can tell that these things are not valuable that you are especially privy to, then I would love to meet Him. ;) All jokes aside, I am not sure what any of this has to do with the video lol. But, whether you like it or not, "diversity" IS policy. The alternative, by definition, is white people running everything, or black people, or Muslims, or heterosexuals, or yadda yadda in a democracy that is not made up solely of any one of these groups. I assume you agree that is not ideal? So I fail to see what is wrong about talking about it in the positive fashion that Rational did. Unless you don't agree, and that's fine, but then, if you say "I just want the best people", well, then I'm just letting you know that I am the best people :D. Followed closely by Bernie and is badass diverse council!

  4673. The conservative hypocrisy showed its true colours. They criticise safe spaces and snowflakes while fully embracing these ideals to themselves. Progressives need to be on the attack to show people that the conservative "ideals" are just a bunch of bullshit they apply to everyone but themselves

  4674. Exactly David. Protest with your wallets ppl. If enough ppl cared enough to pull out from patronizing these large corporations, there will be a definite change in the fcc ruling. No point crying about it in our respective echo chambers

  4686. ā€œLand of the freeā€ were workers have no dignified life or jobs. Were corporations control every aspect of your lives. Were the system as a whole is stacked up against every aspect of working peopleā€™s lives. Were water,electricity, justice system and every important aspect of our lives has been bought by the private corporations. The justice system and police are meant to fuck over the little guy in this country. Look at how Paul manafort was treated in a way these poor black kids will never be treTed in their lives.

  4687. Even conservative policy people (pundits, think tank members, etc) from Denmark are better than the American versions! Thank you Mr. Kirkegaard for honestly answering the question and helping to slay the lie that socialized healthcare in Europe is terrible!

  4688. Bernie didn't want to be just like everyone else. He really only attacked back, when it was necessary. He had US defending his back most of the time.

  4690. I was someone who previously had a negative response to you about reading Donna Brazile's book. I've changed my mind on that and can't wait to get a copy. I've seen several excerpts and clips w/her. She sees the things we seen, she was treated in a similar way to how we were treated as outsiders, she gets it! (yes, she doing some backtracking, I summed it up to DC friends and that she's still detoxing as former cult member herself) Speaking of cult: A couple months ago I was watching the show exposing Scientology as a cult (Leah Remini), it suddenly hit me that Clintonites were actually showing signs of intense brainwashing and being cult members. Perhaps Donna has watched it too! Lastly, I think Joe was spot on and glad he challenged Donna and said all he did, it needed to be said. I used to watch Morning Joe regularly and agree with your assessment that occasional they have some great shows.

  4691. How many times is the left going to be right only for mainstream democratic liberals to arrive at the same conclusion when its far too late? The so called 'grown ups in the room' that liberals like to believe they are, need to wise up already.

  4692. Love how your commentaries are well researched and fair. I always get new insights into American politics from your videos and not just an echo of my own opinions.

  4697. Really enjoyed the video - as for talking to teachers - Doug Ford didn't talk to teachers! I am a teacher and the PCs did not come to talk to us during our AGM (OECTA) and while we were having our AGM, OSSTF was also having their AGM and the PCs did not speak there either. However, both the NDP and Liberal leaders came and addressed both assemblies. Maybe Doug has a neighbour who is a teacher and spoke to that individual.

  4699. Funny the irony, PC party, is the conservative party, politically correct, lol. Progressive Conservative, that's an oxy moron if there ever was one. Lol, this is hilarious. They can "pull out" of the sex ed, lol, so rife with irony. Also, you got a shoutout on Secular Talk's video about Gillibrand and Booker no longer accepting corporate pac funds.

  4700. Ā @LazyEyePoliticsĀ  I think there's a natural tendancy to feel this way but, really, it also kind of others in a subtle way. The attitude that David is expressing is "they got caught doin' it at work and, as they would at any job, got fired for it...this isn't a big story, move on!" which is probably how every left-winger would feel if this had been a male and a female staffer who got caught doin' it in the Senate building. And, yeah, I know that's just the nature of straight priviledge, but isn't that the point of being an ally in the fight for equality? It shouldn't be a bigger deal that it was an LGBT couple than if it had been a straight couple. I mean, you say you're an ally, so you're presumably straight, and if had been a straight couple would you feel that they made you as a straight person look bad? So I just don't feel that LGBT people should need to feel that this somehow reflects on them.

  4701. Is there anyone on Morning Joe, who is not a major league hack ? Ā Corporate Media protects Corporations and Americans lap it up, even Progressives ... this is why they don't buy into Medicare for all and the taxation that comes with it - they prefer their corrupt capitalism. Time to leave the USA to rot away in their decline ...

  4711. If a cold goes for more than 4-5 days. You're dealing with more than a cold. In my case it's usually sinus related. I'm guilty of not getting enough sleep. When you're sick, sleep is too important to ignore. There's no such thing as superman, so, stop that shit, David. Get some rest. If you're not healthy...how can we possibly enjoy listening to you, if you're ill? (I'm good at giving out advise, and never following it myself.) ;)

  4713. I am a "white person" and a resident of Toronto perhaps the most multicultural city on the planet and I love our multicultural policies. I can walk out my door and experience the entire planet's peoples and cuisine and culture without having to spend $ on a plane ticket and everyone here gets along with each other regardless of whatever is going on in their homeland. That is what makes Canada a beacon for the world and zip model for every other country to follow..

  4714. Great choices. All deserving. What I like best about these individuals is that they are unapologetic about their views and unlike much of the MSM do not waste a moment "being fair" and giving voice to views and positions they find thoroughly unacceptable. As I have said before, the MSM give equal time to the village idiot and the PHD. Which for me mean, they have no core values. Greatness and evil have equal importance?!?!?!?!. Why?

  4715. How the fuck is deregulation going to help make these companies pay their employees a fair wage so the government stops subsidizing the extra costs? What the fuck is Tucker Carlson even talking about. He's such a joke.

  4716. tasha ceton, my employer health insurance didn't change with the ACA. But now I also have Medicare. With the dual coverage I have the best medical coverage, no co-pay and zero for prescriptions.

  4717. Watch the Bernie clip again. It is even less of a deal than that. He clearly gestures to something off-screen as the reason why Jane needs to move. Then Jane looks to see what Bernie was pointing at and realizes that he was right. She agreed and moved to the other side. We can't see what it is but she definitely agreed that it was something that she needed to step away from.

  4718. The Rational National plus doing it this way has longer lasting effect. Even if person believed 'This guy is a hack', they would fall for the next guy. Unless one explains the actual arguments and tactics and reasoning. It takes longer to get persons to intake it. But once it happens, it is essentially like vaccine. Next hack guy comes along probably dressing the BS in different coating, person will still go 'oh wait a minute this boils down to this BS argument I know already, that doesn't pass muster because X, Y and Z reasons.' The only real solution to BS like this is educated critical thinking people. One can never be at every place to beat down everyone spewing BS. So the real way is the explain the logic and rational so people have personal BS radar. So in the end one doesn't have to beat down all of the BS. People will do it themshelves. But it in the beginning takes time and effort both on the educator to time and time again explain the rationals and arguments and listener doing mental work eventually to go 'oh this isn't about who says this or how it sounds on the surface, it is about the arguments underneath.'
    3
  4719. It is easy to see the impact of the consolidated ownership of corporate media. Whenever a politician has a new book to promote, or a celebrity has a new movie or project to promote, you see them on talk show after talk show, morning shows, late night talk shows, the Sunday morning political shows, The View, etc. In the last few weeks, it has been Hillary Clinton, then Donna Brazile, then Biden, all with books. Hillary's book was published by Simon & Schuster, owned by CBS. So 60 Minutes got her first, then Colbert, then she went across all the other networks. I doubt they even call the shows about availability, they probably just put out some communication that says here are the dates and times we're doing all the shows, and here are the conditions.
    3
  4720. David I have added you to my favorites and checked "The Bell' for all Notifications from your channel. I am never notified when you post a new Video. I thought I should let you know this as it is happening to many independent news organizations on YouTube

  4721. Oh! And by the way. I am one of the older generation (proud, old hippie protester lol) that you speak about. The DNC should get copies of your videos (wish I had the equipment to do it lol) maybe they'd get their heads out of their butts & learn something from you. I'm a Senior/Disabled Woman, who has bi-racial children & grand children, who's been there, done that. I'll be 64 in September & Hun if you can impress me, then you could get through to anyone. Head up, stay strong & committed & keep trucking!!

  4722. So I'm just curious. I'm a 17-year-old asshole who lives in Texas, and I have no idea what the big issues are facing most Canadians. What are the big issues that most Canadians are talking about today? I'm glad you accepted this interview BTW. I'm a huge fan of the Humanist Report, and it's nice to get the perspective of someone who doesn't live in the US. Here's to hoping your channel continues to blow up!

  4726. As an Independent voter who not only changed her registration to Democrat , but also donated money as well as time to support BERNIE SANDERS IN THE PRIMARIES, I do NOT feel like my voice was heard or respected.

  4728. Oh, Iā€™m an American and I think this health care debate is insane. Itā€™s crazy to see how many people want the ACA, compared to how few wanted it before (and far too many Americans didnā€™t know that the ACA and ā€œObamacareā€ were the same thing). While the ACA is better than the old system and itā€™s certainly better than this abomination the Republicans are peddling, Iā€™m ready for a single payer system ā€¦ yesterday.

  4730. love your message of hope, I too stayed up all night, thrilled with the result, but the Tories will do anything to stay in power, and will form a coalition with the DUP. But, this election has elevated Corbyn and the progressive movement, and effectively destroyed Mays career. That is undeniable. The only reason May will survive this is because there is no one else in the Tory govt that is an obvious choice to take over.
    2
  4731. thanks for a Canadian view of US politics, David. I appreciate it! We (US) rarely see anything of other countries and it is a detriment. the MSM keeps us in a bubble, you are so correct!

  4736. It wasn't just that media misunderstood, they actually worked against Corbyn. Especially the supposedly neutral BBC, who ridiculed and misrepresented Corbyn and his supporters. Coverage was absolutely and blatantly biased. The newspapers were even worse, of course. Added to that, there were some nasty campaigns within the Labour party itself, trying to get rid of him and put him down; completely unprecedented!This is a great result!
    2
  4737. I'm in shock. An intelligent American, something that I haven't seen all that often. Maybe he's Canadian. David Doel surprised me. Rational thought is not something I associated with Northern America. As they say, my bad. Keep it it up young man.

  4738. bail9418 You mean the most liked politician in the country? The one with support leagues ahead of Trump? Also...8 more years of Trump? You're not mathing very well.

  4739. Read about it. You seem to repeat platitudes, but know nothing about it. Right NOW we have "government control" guaranteeing private companies profits above our nation's health. THAT is sick.

  4740. Excellent analysis. It's propaganda for conflict. I signed up on Patreon today.
    2
  4741. ahhh, now I get why I like your perspective so much. You are a fellow Canadian and a green party member. I am in Richmond BC and have voted green for every election except when Tredeau was running. I felt I needed to use my vote strategically to make sure Harper was ousted. I have never liked the NDP because of their utter failure to govern in BC plus something about them always seem shady, maybe bc my dad was a conservative and some of his bias brainwashed me. I am coming around and liked what I heard in national leadership debate. The next federal election will be one that I will have to pay close attention to as I would prefer to return my vote for the green party. I rally wish we had ranked choice voting. It would make these decisions a lot less difficult.
    2
  4742. I'm very happy with the result. In fact, I don't think I've ever been this happy with a defeat before. May's arrogance got her majority swept under her feet and now she has to form an alliance with far-right Irish Nationalists. This has been an utter disaster for the Conservatives and has strengthened the left - and the youth.

  4746. Lets be honest to all. Whether you like Jeremy Corbyn or Not. I can actually show you UK newspapers that were hostile and went pass the mark in personal attacks on the man. He showed dignity and professionalism most of times when ever he was asked to appear on the " UK Media". Theresa May, lost a lot of credibility around the Uk in regards to her refusal to debate to the nation about her Manifesto against Jeremy Corbyn and the Political leaders from the Uk - leading up to the debate about their manifesto. PEOPLE DON'T FORGET THESE THINGS David Cameron (TORY) called out Gordon Brown (LABOUR) to appear on a live Debate and he really didn't want to appear. And eventual he did When Theresa May and the Tory Party finally did come out clean about the Tory manifesto - it shocked alot of people around the UK - even amoungst Tory supporters - who couldn't believe what they were hearing. And to top it all it wasn't costed!!! The Labour party lost the General Election that is fact. But, they "Won" over the minds of a lot of people around the country as they wanted to discuss policies (*which they costed!!) - instead of smearing people/s. People want to know what yo are going to try an help them - Not wanting hear about "Smears" about people all the time People general do not like "bullies"; and the countless amounts of peoples that have come out and stated that they were wrong about Jeremy Corbyn is eye opening as well. The same peoples/media outlets that were for the Tory party are now attacking Theresa May and why did she call or an early election and her manifesto.....

  4747. you are correct on all counts the tory party are in the final days of power hanging on by any means possible may was never going to make it and is the best thing that ever happened to the labour party.

  4748. Thank you! New sub.

  4749. Your awesome bro. Kia kaha!
    2
  4750. the mainstream media in the UK went into overdrive with it's attacks on jeremy Corbyn, it underestimated social media and the ill feeling held against themselves and the tory party, I don't think this is over as there is so much to be pulled into question. there is a wind of change coming and Corbyn is a huge part of it

  4751. Rick Rouse i dont think you understand what universal healthcare is or how it works

  4752. Nice to see these progressive channels popping up. Enjoying your commentary dude. Nice when on a train ride. I'm a Belgian btw. But I do like to follow America's politics.

  4753. Great piece David loved it. You need to cut down the B'S. I want a female president but I want the best person who will fight for me and my family which is bernie

  4755. Well said, as usual.

  4756. Kasich is really...not good on some things. He's the Governor of my state and I've seen both the good and the bad he can do. He does manage to portray himself as an independent thinker, but it's in a way that's not unlike Third Way Dems in the 90's. That said, I do appreciate him spending time and effort going out there and speaking up. One thing you didn't mention is that his lines of argument hit nearly every point that needed to be hit. He criticised process, good, necessary. He criticised the idea of healthcare as an entitlement - excellent. He criticised the bill's function in lowering premiums - something very few people are discussing. Unfortunately, I've seen no Democrat present such a coherent argument against the bill. Also, thanks a lot for talking about the Canadian perspective! That was very interesting to hear.
    2
  4757. I love this video

  4758. You nail it here. Perez in a moment of honesty.
    2
  4759. Mike and David, thank you for always providing your viewers with substantive, unapologetically progressive content/commentary. I fucking love you dudes. Please do more videos together! šŸ’š Campaign finance is the root of the rot. We are an empire in decay. The people just want to be governed by good government, the wealthy don't want to be governed at all. I have no fucking idea how anyone could be proud to be an American.

  4760. I just subscribed! I'm with Nina!

  4761. Great analysis. Thank you.

  4762. There is such a huge disconnect between real people and what the news portrays, they are two different worlds. When I watch the news all I see is propaganda and a very scary world, but then I walk out my door and the sun is shinning a birds are chirping. They want us divided and afraid. All this divisiveness is such a phycological game on the American people. We all need to disconnect from the brainwashing box!
    2
  4763. Corbyn is going to be the future PM of the UK. #JC4PM
    2
  4764. Brought up some very valid arguments. So this douche shelved a bill that was at the minimum symbolic or potentially a good starting point. Which makes said douche corrupt and stupid.

  4765. Great post david, I hope your posts blowup

  4766. I want to move to Canada. Soooo bad. I'm Jimmy Kimmel without the money and fame. It's terrifying. Republicans act like everyone with pre-existing conditions deserve it. She was born with it. They also never get the human potential. People aren't throw away. She's so smart. Really, she's been tested. She's been reading since three. She scored very high in visual spatial learning, so the patterns and math section was her best. She's a future engineer...except she's going to have to choose between her third heart surgery or 80,000 in student loans. She should get medical care AND an education. I live in Seattle...I could walk...if they let us in šŸ˜¢

  4770. Great rebuttal, David!!!!

  4771. You are tres cute. Keep it up.
    2
  4772. I am a conservative but recognize pragmatic, honest, and genuine people. I like this lady alot.
    2
  4773. I think it's simply that the people in power don't understand how little they're trusted any more. Corbyn comes across as truthful and genuine, and regardless of his policies, that's refreshing in itself.
    2
  4774. I like what you said about people being wrong and then thinking about and questioning why they were wrong. I did that after I voted for Hillary in the primaries and the election, and she subsequently lost.... A lot of people went straight to blaming Bernie supporters. I went on the internet and started searching for "why Hillary lost". All the people who blamed Bernie supporters were the same people who never thought Hillary would lose.... So I decided to start listening to the TYT, David Pakman, Jimmy Dore, and now The Rational National. Thanks. My eyes are open.... O.O
    2
  4775. WELL SAID.
    2
  4776. Ironic, as I was escorting my wife for some abdominal surgery at UVA , I walked passed a stone figure of Thomas Jefferson with the words " Good health is happiness " or something like that. I wasnt aware he weighed in on the matter. and I guess the irony is that all the pricks that invoke the constitution let right and center and how wise and forward thinking the founding fathers are , are the same shit stains that no trouble denying healthcare to the vulnerable, I dont believe in god but man I wish I was wrong sometimes.
    2
  4777. Having stayed up for 24 hours (matchsticks propping open my eyelids and plenty of coffee) to watch the results come in, I've just woken up and watched your video. Always good to listen to your views and have subscribed. Looking forward to your vids over the next 3 or 4 months until our next GE :)
    2
  4778. The Rational National Good to know, Corbyn is also in the higher digits though younger than Sanders, and sincerely hope that Labour here do win the next GE, which might even help cement support for Sanders to command the Democrats to a more left wing stage. It's just even better that around 70% of my generation voted, it's just crazy. I hope that support doesn't drop.
    2
  4779. David, I adore you. Loved your interview with Mike at The Humanist Report, but MSNBC sucks eggs now. It's no longer progressive. YT is where I get my news. Oh wait. You just kinda said that. Sorry. Bows to you.... :) Phuc all the cable news. I'll take you all on YT anyday. And Common Dreams along with Democracy Now! and more. I'm 57. I've seen enough to know who I am. And I'm a progressive who voted for Jill Stein. Interview her in 2020, will you please and any Greens running for office even if it's just for dog catcher. People put Jill down, but if the Greens don't run a prez candidate every 4 years, they'll never be allowed to be an official party. I mean, how rude and wrong.

  4780. Intelligent. Just subscribed.
    2
  4781. Great video as usual. I hope your subscriber base continues to grow because more than 10K people should listen to your insightful, clear, and concise analysis. =)

  4782. Kasich is one of those people I'd trust as president only with a Democratic Congress.
    2
  4783. u are so right!!
    2
  4784. That's why I love black women need more of them in leading positions so much common sense
    2
  4785. I love how they're not yelling at each other about Rachel Maddow and Seth Rich, God rest his soul. Just issues. I think that's the difference between these guys and the Goodmans of the world. The shit talk. I'd rather see commentators analyze the government as opposed to criticizing other media. You guys both restore my faith in the real left almost daily. Thank you.
    2
  4786. I seen both the interviews you talked about and was amazed at how strongly Kasich was speaking. Great show, you brought up many things to think about! Thank you
    2
  4787. Luv the video, luv the commentary. Nina is the real deal who gives a fuck and that is who you want in a leader. Not that dumbass in office right now.

  4788. Stumble upon your show. You're awesome! Subscribing for sure!
    2
  4789. This is a liberal I can listen to
    2
  4790. I did not believe Corbyn could do well in the election because of the powerful Murdoch and I thought the young would be too lazy to vote. Fortunately, I was wrong.
    2
  4791. your coverage is great and it gets people to open their eyes to the Republicans and Democrats
    2
  4792. As a teenager now I honestly dread entering adulthood and worrying about all of these unnecessary price walls for things as simple as healthcare and college, especially while knowing that the rest of the world doesn't even think about any of it.
    2
  4793. dude, I pulled my credit report and it's hit all because of medical bills. bills, that quite frankly, I don't even know how real they are. not only does it affect me short term financially, but it even makes it more expensive to buy a car and makes it harder to live in a nice area.
    2
  4794. excellent discourse once again.
    2
  4795. You guys are awesome:)

  4796. My grandfather and my grandmother are 86 and 84 and have as much energy as I do age is not a factor

  4797. Refreshing Views... Clear, Concise, Accurate< Truthful And Eye Opening. So glad I Found Your Channel David. Subbed :-) Keep Up The Fine Work

  4798. Another important progressive voice. I bet you'll reach 100k subs before this year is up. Greetings from Sweden
    2
  4799. Can I just say. I think you're analysis is fantastic and your hair is gorgina!!
    2
  4800. I think you're right, and frankly, Dayen's article just reeked of disdain for the nurses and other people who are pissed off. So instead of informing us all of something we might not have known (I didn't because I don't live in California), he accused good people of lying and playing power games. He may indeed be right in terms of the funding issue, but Dayen is a schmuck of the highest order.
    2
  4801. Very well explained and you say just what I feel. There are a lot of people in the media and political class who are admitting they got it wrong but have you noticed how many can't seem to bring themselves to actually say 'I got it wrong'? Instead they say things like 'No-one saw this coming' or ' Boy, did Corbyn improve as the election went on!' The worst are the Parliamentary Labour party. They openly criticised and tried to undermine Corbyn when, if they had backed him, Labour could have won this election. Yet, some are already trying to manoeuvre their way back into the shadow cabinet. It's sick. Don't they realise, that's why they failed. They are prepared to do anything to get power and to aline themselves with any ideology that gets them it. They are prepared to compromise on their beliefs. People can see that Jeremy Corbyn isn't. That's partly why he's so popular.
    2
  4802. Lets help this young man with some moo-la, hes great! Subscribed and love it. More money, more clips ill bet!
    2
  4803. These establishment idiots in our country always ignore the obvious. Obama had a similar message to Bernie Sanders in 2008 which is why he won in a landslide. His popularity started to dip only after it became clear that he had no intention of fulfilling his populist promises.
    2
  4804. I'm glad you said that.
    2
  4805. good job david doel good points ...
    2
  4806. just stumbled on your channel a week ago and I really like your uploads. Thank you man.
    2
  4807. The perspective of the US health care system from people from other countries makes me facepalm about our health care every time. Single payer just makes soooo much sense.
    2
  4808. I understand the sentiment completely, and in the case of the United States and Britain, and likely the rest of Europe, a socialist revolution seems on the rise, and for good reason. Corporations have really manipulated their political systems unabashedly. Now the chickens are coming home to roost, and the backlash is nigh. But Canada is a bit different. It's been implementing progressive policies incrementally, and the neoliberals that run Canada are actually liberals (and also literally Liberal, as in their party name). They have their buddies in the corporate sector, but by and large the corporate sector likes all of the social programs implemented by the government, because that means they have less social programs that they need to implemented for their own employees. Also for the most part, corporations don't bear a big burden of the social programs, it's mostly paid for through income and sales taxes. Corporate taxes in Canada are pretty low. Corporations have no reason to be against social programs, and actually benefit from them. So unlike American Democrats, who are neoliberals but are actually old-school conservatives, Canadian neoliberals are old-school liberals. So there isn't really a groundswell of support for NDP or other far-left parties, because the center-left party has been by and large responsive to Canadian's demands. This happens in both the provincial and federal levels, the Liberals seem to draw on massive support because no one is really too worried about them cutting social programs. Now, I think one problem with the Liberals is that they get into power and do break some promises. Such as Trudeau reneging on his promise to reform the Canadian electoral system, because now that he's in power, he's happy that the existing system got him elected. If he was smart, then he should have gone through with his promise, and likely he would've been voted back in with another majority because he actually did keep his promise. For that reason alone, I'd be inclined to vote NDP this time.
    2
  4809. When even democrats describe single payer healthcare as a "government takeover", it blurs the fact that it's still privately owned but publicly paid for. They never describe it as Medicaid expansion. In Canada our income taxes are about 5% higher...a paltry amount considering what we get for it. My wife had elective surgery to remove adenoids last week. Total cost to me...$9.....for parking! #lovemysinglepayerhealthcare

  4810. His tweet storms bring into focus how irrational he really is and how unsafe we are with him running the country

  4811. Good reporting David !!!

  4812. Subbed!
    2
  4813. Joy Ann Reid is like a Sony/M$ fanboy. I knew I subbed for a reason. Fabulous analogy!
    2
  4814. You have a great channel. We need to start seriously focusing on reaching out to Joy-Ann Reid [viewers] / MSNBC viewers, who are being misinformed by her hate of most of the non-establishment left in the Democratic party. Maybe they will be more receptive to your arguments due to your calm demeanor and the fact that you're Canadian. * edit: clarified in brackets, no I don't think reaching to Joy-Ann Reid is worth our time :)
    2
  4815. we as millennials need to start gathering our young blood so Bernie can have daily transfusions if need be.
    2
  4816. oh David I hadn't even considered that Kasich may go Independent. Great insight!
    2
  4817. Just a shame Americans didn't vote Bernie Sanders, but the right wing media gave him virtually no air time compared to the monstrous man child they now have as a president
    2
  4818. I have that exact same shirt!!! Another great show!!!!

  4819. You killed it Dave.

  4825. Another great post David

  4826. Started watching your post when you was on 10k David, you have moved to 4k pretty quickly next step 100k keep it honest and from the heart, even if its controversial and David you will get there I have no doubt. All the Best Ā Old Jack de Barstard

  4827. Damn, what an awesome and powerful video. You got it dead to right.
    2
  4828. Very dope to see this. I feel from your videos that you are both able to consider all points of view which you're discussing, but with the underlying understanding that helping your fellow human beings is what is most important. Wishing you both the very best of luck. -Emcee Kavi

  4829. Another great commentary. Thanks!
    2
  4830. Woah, Scary Shirt. Good show. Thanks.
    2
  4831. Iā€™m excited about finding your show a month ago and really interested in how you are going to bridge the gap between liberals and conservatives in your show. In my opinion, it is impossible to do. Many of their political perspectives are in opposite sides of the spectrum. Anyway, I continue to watch you to find out how and wish you the best.

  4832. great video bud

  4833. Great video sir would love see labour wipe out Tories and SNP here In Scotland

  4836. Great stuff .. really enjoying your vids.
    2
  4837. Good work mate
    2
  4838. The Rational National Maybe you're right but the media firestorm surrounding the tweet definitely distracted from the more important news items of the day. The press and everyone shouldn't let ourselves be so easily led on. Keep up the good work with your channel!
    2
  4839. David, thanks for speaking on this. I'll add that from 30,000ft this looks very similar to political behaviour on any motivating issue there has been during my lifetime: there's no incentive on either side of the single-payer issue to kill it. Arguably, it is (currently) the most motivating issue that get's constituents to the polls, as it were. In my opinion (and I'm curious to know your thoughts on this), I see zero incentive for either side of the aisle here, politically speaking, to legislate this issue to its obvious conclusion: Single-Payer Done and Done. As long as the Left can motivate voters with a message of "we're fighting FOR single-payer", the Centre is balancing on an message of "make the status quo-better" and the Right is focusing on a message of "we won't let government tell you what to do" - all sides (politically) win here. Do citizens win with this? For fucks sake, no. However, in State Assemblies and Congress there is ZERO incentive to advance on of the few remaining motivating issues. Not resolving this issue gives ALL sides a political target and, to politicians, gives them an opposition. Without opposition they'll have to... come up with new ideas? Innovate? Surrender to the needs of humans to co-habitate? Pfft... how would they raise money for that? (I say that very tongue-in cheek, certainly.) Well... that's a sufficient rant, methinks. I'm glad to have found you and grateful there's a voice like yours contributing.
    2
  4840. Great reasoned post
    2
  4841. You mentioned Tommy Douglas gave Canada our Universal Health Care System... but you didn't mention that he is the Grandfather of actor Kiefer Sutherland. Fact! So if Kiefer Sutherland's Grandfather can give our country universal health care, there is no excuse for the USA not have medicare for all.

  4842. Lov ya dave

  4843. Very interesting way of seeing it, well argued and presented. Keep up the good work David

  4844. ...to her fuck'n face, I love it!!!...we owe fascist no comfort in this world...
    2
  4845. both sides are the same. the far left wants to pass single payer and free college end the wars stop the drug wars and pass a green new deal. and the far right want to rape the planet destroy human rights and murder their enemys yup completly the same
    2
  4846. Love your sources and clips. Keep that up--It's good to have a timeline.
    2
  4847. Do people seriously fall for this "I saved taxpayers money with tax cuts" bullshit? No you you didn't. You cost them money in the form of more expensive and poorer services and infrastructure. Good video BTW
    2
  4848. Dumbasses disliked this video
    2
  4849. I think a lot of people are correctly pointing out that his comments were kind of tongue in cheek, but I do wanna point out that he wrote a worse post calling women in Miami whores. I donā€™t think he should have had to resign though because a) it was just words and b) he seems genuinely different now, I mean he devotes his life to promoting progressivism
    2
  4850. Excellent and accurate analysis. Thank you.

  4851. people are stupid, nasty assholes, that's how Ford has a degree of support. Oh, and Wyn is despised far beyond what she deserves (even I fall prey to that with her/the Liberals)

  4852. You had me at the Bob Cole name drop.
    2
  4853. Thanks for this David! Keep up the good work and nice shirt as always
    2
  4854. Ahh yes Jeff Bezos agrees with Bernie Sanders on most issues which is why he ran 16 hit pieces onBernie Sanders in 2016 at the Washington Post in less than 24 hours. Which is why Washington post is always smearing Bernie Sanders and progressives. Heā€™s a self identified libertarian for fucks sake
    2
  4855. Fuck Dave Rubin. He's a wannabe-Peterson character riding the anti-SJW money train. Peterson himself on the other hand is hit and miss. On one hand he'll sit down with Russel Brand and have one of the best podcasts I've ever seen, and then on the other hand he'll turn around and say morality comes from a belief in God, and morally "good" atheists actually believe in God they just don't know it.
    2
  4856. The fucking nerve tucker carlson has to point out that the democrats take money from big coporations meanwhile ignoring the fact that republicans take MORE. He's taking an issue that leftists point out and can be solved by leftist policies and making it as if it's OUR fault.
    2
  4857. Thanks!
    2
  4858. Good rebuttal David, you're a sane voice in a sea of fucking madness, keep up the progressive message!!
    2
  4859. It's sad that our country is complete shit on Environmental protection. On this specific topic, the Liberal Govt. hasn't been any better than Harper's Conservatives.
    2
  4860. Bang on commentary, as usual.
    2
  4861. SHOUTOUT TO NOMIKI FUCKING KONST. So many people in the "dumdum left" just called her a shill for being involved in the Democratic Party. Well, she's been successfully pushing for change while you just kept bitching about Hillary in 2018. Politics takes involvement and organization, folks.

  4865. Yeah and the grass roots is the Progressive wing of the party. NOT the liberal part.

  4866. Very interesting backstory on the guy. I only knew of Pat Tillman because I googled him after that Family Guy scene.
    2
  4867. i'm watching Jordan and Kyle less but David and Mike more. the quality of their videos are better and they seem not to rant as much, points are concise and less repetitive (which is amazing for David since he doesnt edit his videos like Mike does)
    2
  4868. I don't use this word lightly but neo liberalism is a cancer. It's a scam that has allowed big business and wealthy individuals to act like gangsters by snuffing out competition, polluting the environment and rigging the economic game in their favour. I've always thought that one paradox with neo liberalism was that it was neither liberal nor is it new, in reality it's totally incompatible with democracy.
    2
  4869. Jesus fucking christ. How can the PC even have a lead.
    2
  4870. Wait was he expecting pity or something? This guy, who thinks it's just hilaaarious to lock women in rooms, nearly suffocate them and try to rip off their clothes? Nah dude, it's clear to any good faith observer that he lied about multiple things...that he didn't have to lie about! Is there literally ANYONE who believes he's never been blackout drunk? And Lindsay Graham should shut the fuck up and take a moment to consider all of the deaths he's caused with his deranged foreign policy views.
    2
  4871. Excellent analysis, looking backwards is always illuminating and I would hope to see more of this approach in the future.

  4872. David Doel = Good Man. Well done mate. Canada is the best

  4873. You're so sexy David! Oh my goodness! You're toooo hot!

  4874. Thanks!

  4875. David this was an amazing video! Your passion and knowledge of subject matter are unrivaled. Especially in comparison to those hacks in msm making 30k a day! New patreon supporter here. Everyone who watches should consider becoming a supporter of the channel. This is one of the few ways we counter the bs in msm

  4876. FYI - if greedy billionaires want to move out of this country go the fuck ahead. No need to give these guys more tax breaks
    2
  4877. You fully misunderstand the point of society. Civilization exists because humanity recognized that rate of survival and ability to thrive was much more attainable when we live and work together for the betterment of all. Survival of the fittest describes only one component of evolution and certainly has little to do with why humans choose to live in a society. To follow your line of thinking it would be pointless to treat the sick, to develop vaccines or care for the infirm. The gross majority of humanity has recognized that working together progresses our collective need for survival and most of us understand that circumstances you experience beyond your control should not be a limiter in your ability to experience a fair and equal opportunity to thrive.

  4878. YouTube is soooo ridiculous !!!

  4879. i find americans are a lot more religious the canadians. i bet they're thinkin we're all heathens now up here lol
    2
  4880. Weā€™re fucked and thereā€™s nothing to do so fuck it. Thatā€™s leadership for you everyone. They denied it existed for years, then when they see the facts believe itā€™s all pointless. We need environmentalist policy quick, screw your oil industries.

  4881. Omg!! Best videos I've seen in a long time...Glad I found ya! It's happening!! It's really happening!! GO justice democrats! GO bernie's revolution!!!

  4882. Mr. Doel you are the present and preparing for a big future. I am so glad to have found you. You are a voice of what I call The 21st Century Spirit of Youth Revolution. The hope of the Nation lies in young intelligent progessive thinkers like yourself and Ms. Alexandria and all the Justice Democrats, Democratic Socialists of America, TYT, the Majority Report. CNN, MSNBC, are impotent corporatist/corporatism's humanoid talking heads - tethered to their paymasters by earplugs! You and your friends are standing on the verge of a major paradigm shift! Continue the work you are doing, the funding will come. Please let Alexandria know we all know they are gunning for her and we have no doubt she would never stoop to debating haters and idiots that challenge her. I thank you for the way you presented a superb differential diagnosis on the sick way that CNN talking head tried in vain to hoodwink her and how the moneyed talking head are clueless and deceptacons!

  4885. The notion that wanting diversity is being "anti-white" is absurd. The bottom line is that we are a diverse nation... and our representatives should reflect that. If our representatives where disproportionately minorities he would still call for diversity. And that wouldn't be "anti-minority" either. I agree that first and foremost policy is what is important. I'm not about to vote for Palin because she's a women or Ben Carson because he's black. But our representatives should represent the people, and not only in policy but in backgrounds. It makes them better able to understand us in a way a non diversified group can't.
    2
  4886. Generally, as a rule, when it comes to policy in his own country, Trump rarely knows what he's talking about. When it comes to other countries he'll get it wrong 9 times out of 10. In Canada, whether I go to my doctor or go for open heart surgery. I pay nothing. The speaker is right, it's a distraction and if he lies about this . What else is he lieing about?
    2
  4887. Better fast in your seatbelts, its going to be a shit show, now that the PC got in. There goes minimum wage, plus more cuts to come, and the rich will have it made. I voted NDP, because I really wanted Andrea to win. I even got my friends, co-workers, and spouse to vote NDP. My community voted NDP. What has this province come down to, voting for a dumbass? He was awful at the debates. It was so bad, I seriously could not stop laughing. He had no platform, don't people think that is a pretty big gamble? Who knows what he has planned. All I know is that its not going to be good for the "little guy". I agree with all your videos about him, he is really a liar and full of shit. He was telling people what they want to hear. All I have to say is that he better not fuck up
    2
  4888. I love that Bernie supporters are more young educated people but since fox news is the most populair news media in US, im guessing the most people are uninformed or have no time to collect information in order to make the right choice. Anyway, Hilary's book is not what she thinks but what she wants people to think and I watched Sanders interview on Stephen Colbert and with comment left there, I have to say many people are still buying her BS.

  4889. Thanks!

  4895. How is " The Buffoon " alias Edsel Ford , for the little guy ??????????????????? He was born with a silver spoon up his ass !! People that buy into his bullshit , I don't understand . He has never , ever had to worry about money in his life !!!!! And then some working man will vote for him ! WHY !! The Cons have never been for the working man and his family . He supports corporate welfare AT THE EXPENSE OF THE WORKING MAN !!!!

  4896. Thanks. You are a sane moral man.

  4897. You can tell she is bullshitting because she used made up examples like ponies and not things that actually happened.

  4898. A businessman doing whatā€™s best for business owners, any surprise here? Representing people? No, for rich people, silly. A terminally ill Conservative party ineptly electing one of the worst possible leaders they possibly could, a gift to the opposition parties. Rob Ford reduces bus routes, attacked low wage earners and was called a populist politician. The press cynically promoted this cover story while downplaying his actions that harmed voters who cast a ballot for this business elite. The conservatives will gladly sell off any item of public worth in a cheap effort to lower taxes, in particular to those that need it the least, giving scraps to the people who need it the most. The Fords and their political beliefs are toxic, I find it ridiculous that anyone experiencing Toronto under Mayor Ford would have any brains to vote for another.

  4900. I agree I think Joel Osteen made a mistake and he corrected course pretty fast. I've watched him with Oprah and he seems very sincere. Sometimes falling down is a good think to wake you up to your own failures.

  4901. Unfortunately all the sick f**** senators are okay with this. I don't know how these people sleep at night it's f**** disgusting.

  4902. Some very good points made here. Insightful and thoughtful analysis.

  4903. David, your heart is the in right place, you're going to get lots of shit heads online that wouldn't like what you have to say, this is that, Fuck them, keep going and I'll subscribe on Patreon.

  4904. Add a link to your favorite book/cd/etc. to the description in your video, to your Amazon Associates Program. You get about 5% of every sale forever and ever. If you wonder why: because Youtube was ultimately taken over by Google. See Dejanews. http://www.fastusenet.org/blog/what-is-dejanews-where-did-it-go.html By the way my channel of many years was blocked for some mysterious reason. They never said why, so I'd have to guess. http://newsbreaks.infotoday.com/NewsBreaks/Google-Acquires-Dejacom-17652.asp Why Dejanews was important: "DejaNews revolutionized the nature of Usenet. First, it offered a Web-based view of Usenet. Although Web browsers dating back to Mosaic include the ability to read and post on Usenet, many users never explored those features. DejaNews' Web interface exposed Usenet to millions of Web users; in fact, many new users thought that DejaNews was Usenet." What happened when Google took over: "As for the Google takeover, Deja's rich structured-searching functionality was lost, replaced by Google's much simpler interface. Google admitted the shortcomings of its search interface, while attempting to emphasize the positive: "The current beta service available on this site lacks browsing, posting, and many other important features. We are working hard to provide these. Due to the logistical and financial constraints of the Deja service, there was no viable way to keep the service going. Now that the Usenet data has been safely archived, we are focusing our efforts on implementing these important features. Please bear with us during this transition."" ""Deja Refugee," who requested anonymity in order to protect professional relationships, also noted the link-rot effect of the abrupt switchover: "As of February 12, all the major search engines, including Googleā€”and some Web sites of Google's own search engine customersā€”now have THOUSANDS OF INDEXED WEB PAGES WITH LINKS GOOGLE HAS BROKENā€”links to Deja articles which no longer work. For that matter, many of Deja's postings themselves contain links (also presumably now broken) to other postings. In other words, Google has instantaneously devalued the content it acquired." "Search engine experts also took note. Greg R. Notess commented on searchengineshowdown.com: "The database is considerably smaller and the search features much less powerful than we had on Deja last week.""

  4905. RatNat, YouTube is run by a PC woman who is a Hillary/Corporate libbo. You Progressives are really disliked heavily by them because they unfairly blame you for Hillary failing. So Progressives get treated in the same unfair way as conservative leaning sites (many of whom are lefty, but turned to discuss right stuff).
    2
  4906. David, your videos are quickly becoming my favorite. This video is so good and echoes so much of what I want to say when I hear those on both sides of the aisle bashing identity politics. This vid and the one about Nipsey Hussel are gold. Thank you for your work and due diligence on all the topics you explore.
    2
  4907. Too bad I can only thumb up this video once
    2
  4908. David, you ARE one GOOD LOOKING, FINE MAN! Hummmmmmmmmmmmm! Being as Progressive as you are, makes you so much more appealing!
    2
  4909. The Rational National People read into your comments according to what they think they hear. Since you weren't ranting and raving, they assumed you were complicit. I apologize on behalf of my fellow American citizens. šŸ˜‰

  4910. At a town hall event she refused to back single payer because she "didn't want the govt controlling your healthcare". I wish someone inquired if she told Hillary the same thing when she was embarking on her disastrous attempt at creating universal healthcare back in the 90"s. And when Feinstein cobbled a feeble excuse, that same person could have chirped that Diane was just a wet-behind-the-ear 60 yr old back then and wasn't so wise
    2
  4911. Uh-Oh!! Kamala Harris better watch her back!! Nancy Pelosi and Diane Feinstein (among others) are NOT going to like THIS!! Or, could it be that she is just saying this to garner more support/votes? Hillary Clinton did that, and it didn't work well for her! Nope! The only way I will believe Harris means what she says is if she takes a firm, public stand on getting big money out of politics! And that means NOT accepting donations from a Super-Pac, big businesses/corporations and/or any of the one-percenters!
    2
  4912. Thanks!

  4913. Good information/stuff. Thanks David. Makes me furious!
    2
  4914. Please please please let Bernier start a new party. Remember when there was the Progressive Conservatives and the Canadian Alliance? They were very ineffective and allowed for Chretien to maintain power. It sounds like he wants to wants to create a Populist right or rather Racist-Libertarian party to contrast the Harperesque Sheer politics.

  4915. This comments section needs to take a nice big deep breath lol.

  4916. Wow that image was truly powerful. Itā€™s insane that government officials will ceaselessly spew bullshit propaganda when images like that can be accessed by anyone within 10 seconds.

  4917. Side note. Nice Leafs hoodie. Even though I'm a life-long Wings fan and Lightning fan, I would like to see the Leafs win the cup. The last time they won it was the year I was born!

  4918. Thanks!

  4919. Pelosi and Bernie are 2 distinctive and separate factions. To bundle the 2 in an irrational depiction of progressives exposes Bennys ignorance and agenda bating bullshit.

  4922. I was sucked into fascism like a few years before the alt-right became a thing (thank fucking god I got out before it got as big as it did) and I got out by myself, it was fucking horrible and painful and it involved a seriously bad existential crisis. Its basically the same as leaving a cult, because that's how fascism (and esp nazism) works. Its not just politics, it tries fill that spiritual void, giving you an identity and a connection to some mythical past. There's religiosity (sometimes literally) and pageantry, Walter Benjamin nailed it when he said fascism is the aestheticization of politics. If someone reading this ever finds a friend or family member falling down the fash rabbit hole, the sooner you reach out the better. I think Christian and AOC both give really good advice, and I really wish I'd had that to help me out. The only reason I managed to leave was bc I could never fully swallow the race pill, and eventually it dawned on me that I hated everyone I knew that was also into fascism/nazism. Just keep in mind that fascism is irrational, so for some people pure rationality won't work so well.

  4923. Geez if only I could take off that shirt to see whats underneath. Ok getting too personal here but we all know its true.
    2
  4924. "What the Democratic Party is is who the people in it are." Exactly. That's why I rejoined, to try to work within the party and support local progressive movements and people through the party. As for the national stage, there would have to be a good progressive running. If Bernie runs again and does it as a Democrat, I'll support him.
    2
  4925. You got it right. You cant hunt other progressives and Survive as a Party.
    2
  4926. Could've been because those videos had 'registered content' in them? It might be worth investigating the rest of your demonitized videos to see if they do too contain registered content from the big networks. Good luck.
    2
  4927. Nothing against anyone who is wealthy, but being greedy when it comes to very hard-working employees, that is one step above slavery. When you consider the long hours on their feet and the fast-paced environment, day after day, and you want to pay them as little as possible, it is the same thing as stealing from them, after they give their all everyday. I don't support greed or slavery, I no longer go to Tim Horton's, and now have discovered that there are many coffee places that sell better coffee any damn how !

  4928. thx for doing this show

  4929. Lets be fucking perfectly clear here from someone who grew up long before the internet was a thing ... you have more free speech "NOW!" then any other time in human history ,.. you can sit in your kitchen and literally spue out any and all ridiculous ambion infused notion that crosses your mind ... and in some cases even make a living at it like Alex Jones did .... however these platforms you use today are a business not your fucking privilege to use , and its fully in these social media business to set limits on what content is acceptable and they can to make money with. You know that last world changing political rant you just tweeted or up-loaded to youtube ... to social media platforms it's just another can of soup on the shelf ....LOL
    2
  4930. Congrats, David, you're finally a big time YouTuber! YouTube even gave you your complimentary a$$ fuck.
    2
  4931. The pattern is clear. It sounds like all your "anti-establishment" videos are being cut.
    2
  4932. Good video

  4933. if thats all you took from what he said that's extremely disappointing. did you miss his wheelchair analogy? why do you feel threatened when ppl say white privelege but are okay when we install wheelchair ramps so its users have the same access to the places we do?

  4934. Children are being abused and will suffer permanently from these actions 1 -That this is happening in my country 2 - that Americans, any number of Americans support it 3 - the our Government is proudly doing it 4 - that our government is defending it 5 - that Democrats with righteous Republicans have not en mass, put on an all out onslaught to change the actions 6 The some Americans don't care 7 - that pundits like Fox come up with scenes to provide that flag-and bible-draped justification 8 - People lap up everything Fox says
    2
  4935. Social security, Medicare and Medicaid are not ā€œfreeā€ stuff. I have been paying for these future retirement services via taxes my whole fucking working life. You want to now alter the deal and cut my benefits while raising the retirement age? Well, fuck you. I want my money back plus interest. You can go fuck yourself.
    2
  4936. Letting them talk is much worse though. If they get to talk freely without protest, their ideas are normalized. This is really problematic, because disagreement can only do so much. In fact, merely disagreeing with someone rather than protesting them will make their ideas seem more credible. It's similar to when CNN invites climate change deniers to a discussion about global warming: It makes it seem like their position is just as valid as that of actual scientists. Similarly, debating fascists will make their ideas seem just as valid as yours.
    2
  4937. Canada's print media is already controlled by so few people, we MUST protect the internet!

  4938. Ā @therationalnationalĀ  I tell you, David, I don't know if you watched it live but their courageous actions literally made me stop what I was doing, listen exponentially more intently, and it gave my goosebumps. That's a power-of-the-people accountable democracy in action. I've never felt the way that I felt, watching something on TV; they spoke for all of us and, regardless of the outcome, I, and millions of men, women, and children who are victims of sexual assault in any and all capacities, will be forever grateful that they got in a representative's face and forced him to face the nation of voices that have been muffled for too god damned long. So, SO proud to be an American in that moment.

  4939. The Rational National You're one cool Brotha, and I so appreciate your entertaining commentary, and the fact you actually realize the truth of what's going on. Stay woke....

  4942. Used to like watching Bill Maher, but his views on the Isreal , Palestine situation just turns me off completely. I well never understand how someone can be this one sided . If 62 Isrealies had been shot , holy fuck , you would never hear the fucking end to it. I hope pay back comes soon , I can't understand why the rest of the world don't do something about this murder of unharmed people.
    2
  4943. David killed it again! Thank you for your work sir!
    2
  4944. I think Andrea Horvath won this debate. Ford didnā€™t look prepared for this debate. Wynne looks her focus was more on attacking Ford and not the over spending like she has already done. If the election was tomorrow Iā€™d vote for Horvath and the NDP.
    2
  4945. I used to like Maher but his support of Clinton is troubling. Russell Brand is the real deal though. His views on the world are engaging and he really cares about the lives of ordinary people.
    2
  4946. Great Video as usual, David. I'm just so embarrassed that I voted for this guy, with his non-stop virtue signalling, not bothering to even try to do electoral reform, taking vacations almost non-stop, as well, basically telling the natives in BC to go fuck themselves with this stupid pipeline. But hey, at least he finally followed through with legalizing cannabis, so thanks I guess, Trudeau. Looks like I'll be voting Green from now on.

  4947. Love how real and aware you are brother. Your eyes are open and you see past the Bullshit. Loved this Content! Subscribed

  4948. OOOOH Damn, its real up in this debate. I mean HOLY SH-T Balls yall. Jordan Peterson just got hit HARD. These so called intellectuals on Youtube need a complete and utter destruction of their BS. I'd love to see Sargon, Milo, Richard Spencer, Roaming Millennial, get their asses CLEANED by Dyson in the best possible way, and that will shed light on their bullshit. I get that the population is shifting, but claiming a "white genocide" is actually "Holy Shit we are on the wrong side of history and are afraid to admit our wrongs." This is not relegated to free thinking white people , but those who fall victim to screwed up conspiracy theories about being replaced. As a human being, its hilarious that people are so stuck on race. As a black man, i feel EXACTLY what Dyson said, and when truth comes about, snowflakes like Peterson get triggered. Peterson already knows brown people get stereotyped the worst way possible, so he should not be so appalled about being called a mean white guy. Peterson seems to be all hot and bothered about exposing himself. Not shocked at all. Rational National Thank you for understanding things the way you do. We need more people to call out the bullshit of these dishonest clowns.

  4949. Well done ! Brilliant !

  4950. As a southerner who went to college in New York and fell in love with Tim Hortons coffee and loathed Starbucks, I can safely say I'm absolutely disappointed but not at all surprised. Fucking asses.
    2
  4951. I'd offer that David picked the best part of this debate. Dr. Peterson (whom I really like) stepped all over himself. And Dr. Dyson (whom I also really like) carried the day. I only hope that Prof Peterson watches this video over and over and reach out to Prof Dyson, for a more deeper expansive discussion on the social subjects of our day and of all times. Dr. Peterson mantra in the individual first, last and always, and it is a solid way to approach life. I am my best person, I will put my best foot forward, I will remember to carry myself with principles and virtue in tact. If I don't there is nothing I can (or anyone for me) to be of any value to society. Good. What he leaves out is how in reality, groups of people decide not to be their indvidial best, but their individual most degenerate, and collectively, bigots and racists, and intolerant toward others that they group into "inferior" others, worthy of their scorn. Peterson's solution is to be your best and the rest will take care of itself. he is right. But the reality of those that do not prescribe to their "personal best" approach create the destructive world we live in, and create others to group in defense. In the end, we have weak individuals forming powerful groups creating groups of victims. Why Dr. Peterson fails to see, let alone address this is beyond me. Still, I am grateful for his work, and take it as great parts and, in this case, terrible parts.
    2
  4952. Loved this video, especially your point at the end. I never thought to contrast this kind of news with the lack of news about the highest earners in our society. It seems like a completely legitimate argument to be had about the minimum wage-is it too high? But for the highest-paid workers, the conversation becomes about attracting talent and rewarding effort. I say, if we can question whether someone's wage is too high, we should be able to question whether everyone's is too high, even the millionaires and billionaires. $15/h is nowhere near "too high"; shame that our media values hysteria and conservative values over worker rights and decency.
    2
  4953. Thank you for saying this, me as a Norwegian I've thought about the same thing. This crazy obession with the founding cock suckers and the constitution. And after reading Howard Zinn's "peoples history of the US" I understand that the cock suckers were oligharcs themselves, trying to shape the laws to supress people without property, woman and non whites. I discovered your channel after you defended Jimmy Dore against that impolite prick Sam Seder. Keep it up.
    2
  4954. This is an obvious move by establishment media paying YouTube to push down the voices of the progressives on YouTube. They claim that it is meant to be about demonetizing hate-speech, but the majority of the channels they claim to be attacking in this way are practically unknown, with fewer subscribers than 500. I've only just discovered your channel.
    2
  4955. Keep doing what you're doing David. I know it's hard when youtube is demonetizing your work and it's important to support independent channels. We have to remember youtubers don't gain anywhere near the support or have the manpower that establishment media has. Glad you keep coming out with great content.
    2
  4956. I am not objecting to that :). My point is that I believe you can frame it better. Not sure if you feel the same but I am always annoyed when an author is interviewed on some show to push his/her book and answers "read my book" to questions :P. This felt the same to me. Love the intro though. Short, distinct and not too loud :).

  4957. Holy shit I got mentioned in a youtube video. I can die happy now. That said your answer is pretty good.

  4962. The pay toll highway 407 was the death nail for the PCs as the selling of hydro one was for the liberals. This act brought up every major scandal the liberals had and laid it at Wynnes feet and her corruption was compounded by the fact of her campaign promises being so numerous as to look like bribes. I don't think the NDP have made a breakthrough either as if 40 seats is the best they can do when the liberals completely collapse means the liberals do have a path back to power though it is not the next election as it will probably take 8 years for people to forget and PCs to get enough of their own baggage. The PCs have a real problem as getting back to a balanced budget is an issue we are paying 8 cents on every dollar right now to service it and it is a big concern to parts of the pc base. Its going to be close to impossible if he gives tax cuts and reduces the gas tax. While the liberals did not advertise it that enacted 268 of 315 cost saving measures to streamline and make government more efficient. This means to return to balance either big cuts will take place or taxes will rise. I am not sure if Doug won on populism or the strength of the brand. I think the PCs won in spite of Doug Ford and these populist "promises" not because of it. Finally while I agree that Rob Ford was a terrible mayor, he was a very good councilor, he built his brand on that and I would say he was not a fake populist.

  4979. Yeah, YT has also demonetized my channel, which is only 1 year old, until I get a total of 10,000 lifetime views, which seems arbitrary! Ā I believe that the larger trend, however, is to sanitize the internet and make it "family friendly," like a G-rated movie, which happens whenever Yahoo buys a new media service like tumblr. Ā Even Google is censoring the internet, and when sued by leftist/ socialist sites, were threatened by losing their domain name permanently. Ā It's all very fascist!

  4984. Im loving these comments man, we have some serious mfs out here across generations ready for REAL CHANGE. That means calling out bs from both sides and sticking to values. Lets get it 2020

  4985. Got an nra ad before this video, let it play all the way through (on mute, of course). Enjoy the ad rev, David. Fuck the nra.

  4986. Thanks!

  4987. I have a feeling that if the Liberals had a light, happy attitude, Conservatives would find something wrong with it. Like, "The LIberals aren't taking this issue seriously enough!"

  4988. Have no idea who you are, never ran across you but suddenly your their. I think this sucks how they fucked you over. So I'll sub to you, can't say I'll always look you up, but hey I'll try to help you.

  4989. David Doel you should run for a political office. I wish I had the opportunity to to vote you or someone of your character combined with your knowledge and intellect into a position that would help our country.

  4990. THANK YOU DAVID FOR STANDING UP TO THE NEO LIBERALS SMEARS AND LIES ON MSM!

  4991. I wanted to apply to Harvard, but now I've changed my mind.

  4992. We have a similar state-run system here in PA to what Ontario is going to do with weed.. It is the alcohol sales system. Consumers hate it, politicians hate it. Everybody hates it except the worker's union, and it stays intact.

  4993. David, you need to read the works of Dr. Richard Wolff, a brilliant Socialist Economist! Ā He's a personal hero of min; also watch his videos on-line, since he has a show with Democracy Now, I believe.

  4994. This is such bullshit. Just became a patron. Keep going, Mr National!
    2
  4995. Once again David , another brilliant factual assessment showing how adept some politicians are, when spreading bullshit, to con people.

  4996. lov ya David

  4997. Thanks for posting this! Haven't heard a thing about it here in the US.

  4998. why do people treat these evangelicals seriously when they don't stand for anything that jesus christ stood for? They are vile, racists, homophobic, xenophobic, selfish etc. hughhhhh, america
    2
  4999. Oh boy. Isnā€™t he full of himself? I think there may have been a time in our history where people really did work hard and earned what they made. What you say is true, David. Iā€™m a conservative and I think the majority of us feel the same as you do. We believe in working hard, paying our fair share, and playing fair. I am as disgusted by entitled, corrupt Republicans, who have sold their souls for a shekel.

  5004. Come on, Joe labeling the progressive movement as a "rich thing" is 100% disingenuous effort to smear legitimate working class economic interest. This fucking class warfare where the rich / media class are trying to paint the interests of regular people as some how a thing made up by "rich liberals" I could punch that fucker .... I dont know how you watch that show.
    2
  5005. Hi David. It's your conservative friend/republican. Listen, David, I have a new appreciation for Bernie because of your channel. Things are going well for us, but my concern is that Bernie has not received justice for the crimes the DNC committed against him. I hope that BERNIE gets another swing at the apple. I'd like to see how Bernie would do against Trump. That is the only just solution. What do you think?
    2
  5006. You have some really weird and dense commenters.
    2
  5007. THANK YOU! I watched that clip and thought, "What the hell?!" She's been saying for months that the Democratic party needs to stop being so 'radical' and become more moderate, which I thought was stupid and yet in this very clip she admits that Republicans will ALWAYS vote for the republican in the race so why the fuck should the Democratic Party listen to her?!
    2
  5008. Thank you for putting it on bro

  5013. I made a comment on another video about how it's hypocritical to say that "now's not the time to talk about gun control" when tRump is the first to talk about immigration control when there's an attack somewhereĀ by an immigrant. Someone responded with "well, that's becauseĀ there's an immigrant attack EVERY week in Europe." Really? Because I'm pretty sure that America has more shooting deaths on a weekly basis....

  5014. I was lucky enough to live in Hawaii for three years on the North Shore on Oahu (Mokuleia) . Here is the cottage I lived in for the last year until I left to live in Korea: https://www.tripadvisor.co.nz/LocationPhotoDirectLink-g6695454-d557618-i36488139-Owen_s_Retreat-Mokuleia_Oahu_Hawaii.html. Hawaii is a living, breathing wonder. A new island began when I lived there. The volcano blew on the big island in the early 80s as well and destroyed lots of real estate, turning what were supposed to become dream homes into lava land. If you have a chance, you must go but go where tourists do not go, meet the Hawaiian and Polynesian people, and enjoy Hawaii as they do. Study Hawaii's history and you will learn how American businessmen, using American Marines stole the kingdom, and ruined much of Hawaii's innocence. But Madame Pele is not to be messed with, and Kilauea proves it. e kākoŹ»o i nā keiki HawaiŹ»i. I'll leave you with this song - Aloha! - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MZibxHUPOUw&list=PLXozQUzMPLL3UUsNnLQMQWZtVbPOZD9B0

  5016. We have collectively owned private corporations here in Norway. They are run similarly to other corporations, but the profits are spread to all members / shareholders. Can you imagine that Wal-Mart / Amazon owned collectively by customers and profits is spread out to millions of customers / members
    2
  5017. This scares me because I AM trying to move to Canada, I'm applying for a college in Vancouver, I'm working with an immigration lawyer from Montreal, he'll I'm planning on depatriotizing from the United States as soon as I get settled in. Now of course I don't have a criminal record, legitimate or not, and I'm white so unfortunately I have white privilege, but even so this scares me. It also sickens me that this happened, in Canada of all places, yet he had no problem getting into the U.S. which is far more racist and nationalist especially under the Trump regime.

  5018. Utube needs to join the left, you need to keep fighting the good fight.

  5019. It was nice to hear David on DOOMED with Matt Binder the other day. Keep up the good work.
    2
  5020. The closest thing to liberal media we have in this country is RT, and the damn channel isn't even available in most households. CNN has a corporate bias and never talks about the issues, same with MSNBC, except they try as hard as possible to weaken progressive voices, and after that you have FOX, who are conservative. Is criticizing one of the worst administrations in presidential history considered "biased" to conservatives now? Fucking ridiculous.
    2
  5021. The Luda quote was gold! Keep it up, great videos.
    2
  5022. You are so right about how people hate to identify as liberal. It has a negative connotation, especially here in the south. You could walk up to smone and ask this: Do you believe in Medicare for all? Yes. Do you believe in gay marriage? Yes. Do you think the US spends too much money on wars? Yes. Do you think we should have common sense gun laws? yes Should the government do something about helping people with student loans? Yes So you're a liberal? OH HELLS NO! I ain't no (shudders) liberal! Why you trying to insult me? smh Fucking dummies, I swear.

  5025. What the fuck did I just watch? He heard her, he just chose not to answer. Doug Ford is HORRIBLE politician who can't be trusted! I knew he would be. Not only does he not answer questions, but he gets his people at press conferences to clap to drown out reporters wo ask questions. It's a disgusting display! Doug loves Trump he admitted this on camera. Those who voted for him and are being affected by his policies get what they deserve. He showed himself to be a liar and a sneak and they voted for him anyway. Too bad! I don't feel sorry for his supporters. I feel bad for people, like myself, who didn't vote him and have to watch this shit show.
    2
  5026. But honestly, what Hellerman is saying is not news to anyone. Most athletes know exactly how the scales of power are titled in favor of the owners. It was good to hear it but honestly it will fall on deaf ears unless more athletes start pushing against this insanity. The NFL would crumble if its' Black athletes decided to not play or continuously took a knee unless Kaepernick got signed again.
    2
  5027. Either Cenk or Kyle from Secular Talk said in one of their videos that, while no major challenges have announced against Feinstein yet, 'don't worry... we're working on that'. Justice Dems set to announce new candidate next month. Now it all makes sense.

  5034. The absurdity of the "Hamas marched out children as human shields" line is immense. If there even was any truth to that, why wouldn't they welcome said children with empathy and compassion by taking them in and showing them a better life? Why wouldn't the response be to unarmed civilians being used as "instruments of whatever that bullshit talking point is" to show people that they can offer something better than Hamas? I think that shows the true nature of Israel in that they don't want to offer them anything better, because they don't see them as human and that they don't want them to be around as they take over more and more land.

  5036. Thanks for the reply. subbed !
    2
  5037. Love this video. I honestly don't understand her point where she won't support a policy because the right does? Isn't that the whole point finding policies and ideas where we can all agree? Other then that one statement and policy disagreement she is a awesome candidate. Wish we had more people like her in the United States. I also wish we would have the conversation here about universal pay

  5039. "I didn't start with anything..." Says a guy whose father, when Stephen Cloobeck was just 17 and still in high school, bought a 50% share in The Jockey Club, a condo building and timeshare property in Las Vegas. You don't buy half a hotel unless you're pretty wealthy. So yeah, Stephen Cloobeck didn't start with anything - except a rich father. And did Stephen go off on his own to make his money from scratch? Maybe waiting tables to pay for college? Not exactly - he went into business with his dad, selling condos and pocketing some nice profits. A real rags to riches tale!

  5040. This is irrelevant but this guy is so handsome. Lol

  5043. David always has the best ways to explain things in a mostly objective or (depending on the subject) a nicely done subjective point of view. That's why I subscribed a long time ago. I always try to see the positivity in everything and David does too but at the same time, knows his values and stands firm with them. Even I don't completely agree with some of his stuff, in the end he can explain it to where I understand where he is coming from.

  5047. I'm 55 yrs old, I thought "older" people are supposed to have "wisdom" an acquired" knowledge", what a bunch of crap. Why should the "youngins" respect their "elders" when their elders show themselves to be COMPLETE morons?
    2
  5048. Biden's generation gave us Trump. He can fuck off. The younger generation forced equality for the marriage for gay people. Your generation had good job prospects and pay ranges could afford you a life...millenials are typically screwed with all those part time jobs.
    2
  5049. So Trump confirms himself a thief. He steals a dead hero's character to prop up his racist stance. Nice.
    2
  5050. I could not agree with you more .. adopting the least popular social positions that are already owned by the GOP is a losing strategy. Being a half wishy washy version of a republican is a failure of a strategy that will keep on losing.
    2
  5051. Thank you so much for calling out bullshit when you see it, and thank you for explaining white privileged so clearly. Keep doing what you are doing man I appreciate it.

  5056. What an idiot. Ā Doesn't he know about student debt?! Ā About income inequality? Ā How many wars are we fighting? Ā Vietnam ended, at least. Ā When will any of our wars end? Talk about out of touch! Ā  Ā Right, Joe. Wealthy Americans are ā€œas patrioticā€ as Americans with a lower income. Way to motivate millennials to register as Democrats. Ā  Boomers are the dumbest generation.Ā I say that as a 63 year old.

  5058. I have one point of contention with the "you have nothing to worry about" statement - but it actually agrees with your overall argument. YouTube has had multiple controversies around restricting access to and inexplicably punishing channels that produce LGBTQ+ content. Users viewing the site in restricted mode - something parents use to filter out content that isn't meant for children - often have these channels totally filtered out, with few if any of their videos visible. This is true even for channels specifically geared towards LGBTQ+ youth. And this is just one aspect of the ongoing treating of this demographic on YouTube (and on other sites besides, including Twitter and digital storefronts like Steam). So these users actually do have a lot to worry about. This, though, is why you're still right that the slippery slope argument is fallacious. Because we're already at the bottom of the slope - anybody who tells a trans content creator that they shouldn't be excited about Alex Jones getting the boot because they might be next doesn't understand that these creators are ALREADY being hit with unfair treatment. ALEX JONES is the "next" on the slippery slope. The same is true for Twitter, which refuses to punish Alex Jones and openly lies to its users by saying that Jones as never broken their terms of service - many users can tell you about how they've had accounts suspended or otherwise punished just for calling Jones bigoted after going on one of his bigoted, conspiracy-theory-fueled screeds. So do you really have nothing to worry about if you're not constantly peddling conspiracy theories and hate speech? Well, you do, actually - turns out marginalized people are also marginalized on the internet. Big surprise. But that's exactly why nobody can defend Jones by saying that we'll be next - we were first, actually. YOU'RE next. And that's a good thing, because at some point we have to step back and accept the burden of needing to look at the world and decide what is and isn't acceptable. And Alex Jones is not acceptable.

  5060. Excellent video!

  5061. There's several videos of ballot boxes being stuffed. Plus 77 fucking percent of the vote.
    2
  5062. Exactly. Where are the free speech warriors to defend this left-wing black man for voicing his opinion? Oh, that's right, they're a bunch of fucking hypocrites.
    2
  5063. Australians thought the same thing, until they had a mass shooting in Tazmania. 6 months after that, there were effective gun laws in place, and people had to register their weapon or turn them in. They did and they're fine. No more mass shootings in 20 years. How many mass killings in the US this year?

    2
  5068. Of course Megan McCain lied about Medicare for all. She's a pampered little snowflake who never once felt the struggles 90% of Americans go through daily. The whole "how are we gonna pay for it" bullshit is exactly that, complete bullshit! We pay for it through our collective taxes you prim and improper twit!
    2
  5069. @The Rational National At ~8:45 of the video: Keep in mind that that 45,000 number you gave is from the Fraser Insititute -- a Conservative Think Tank. One that has been caught manipulating their numbers multiple times. They have a vested interest in inflating that number as much as possible. (And they still couldn't come up with something convincing!) How did they manipulate? Well, a huge proportion of those numbers are vacationers/snowbirds/travelers who were already in the States and needed emergency care!

  5077. Why does cnn hire these fucking clowns!?? Rick who? What substance do you have to add to this discussion? Should we see how much money he has taken from the nra? Or do their kids need to get shot in order for these dumb asses to care? And i don't think any Democrat takes nra money, this is exclusively a Republican issue or cause of.

  5078. I like your YouTube channel a lot. You're a super smart guy and you support your videos with a lot of evidence and information. I'm trying to get more people to check out your channel. Also my roommate thinks your handsome.

  5079. Happy Thanksgiving Day, David.
    2
  5080. Thanks!
    2
  5081. It seems the right wing dominance of local tv and radio is a big reason why Republicans still get the amount of support they do from regular people that they do nothing to help.
    2
  5082. Omg thank you, great coverage.
    2
  5083. So right about the misplaced outrage, children and innocents being gassed? Yawn. No drinkable water in Flint , (and way too many other places.) Oh well. Using money to give to rich people who have NO NEED for it and taking away from poor people trying to eat and have a roof? They don't give a darn. Fuck them.
    2
  5084. Doug Davis your statement lacks any type of subsidence. We are now in a day and age where capitalism is on his or hers last leg. Tell me it what Society that you take public-funded utilities or services and transfer them over to a private organization and get a better product for cheaper? Democratic socialism in its name tells you exactly what it is that people vote for what the people want to fund. If your statement would have said nationalist socialism leads to Communism I wouldn't have anything to disagree with.

  5085. A+ Show!

  5086. Goddamn conservatives. All they end up conserving, is *cockamamie lunacy*! PC is not so much a misnomer tho - privatized progress for the rich, socialized stagnation for the rest! šŸ™ƒ NDP everyone!!! I'm scared that Canada is going down the tubes at this point. My province is doing away with so many unions, hospital budgets are being slashed! Seems like such a slippery slope we're on.. and it seems like our politics here are becoming Americanized, because the people are becoming Americanized. We need intellectual leaders, and progress! A social democracy, and a meritocratic technocracy! I wish and hope this for the future of every country in the world!
    2
  5087. I say these tweeters are the ones being insensitive about race! They're the ones being so hyper-focused on race here! And I really hate how people like us are lumped in with people like that because we're lefties. And they tarnish the reputable means of proper social justice. Neurotic idiots.
    2
  5088. i love this video, David. spot fuckin' on.

  5089. Thanks!

  5090. Joe Scarborough and Mika are frozen in their Beltway mentality and are pandering to the same Beltway TV watching crowd. Democrats are not the only ones to use ID politics. Repuglicans do the same. They pander to gun nuts, anti-abortion fanatics, evangelicals, confederate revanchists, racists, people with tons of money and the like. The main difference is that they are mostly older white male voters. Democrat politicians are too nice and are too willing to compromise and avoid conflict.
    2
  5091. Quite possibly the best video that you've ever done.
    2
  5092. Anthony Fantano linked me to your channel, subbed!
    2
  5093. that's admirable and honorable! )) I wish I had your patience when it comes to Trump. You are right though, this is the best way to engage the other side! And thank you for trying to reach out from Canada! (humbling moment of realization that I should be doing more for my country, lol)
    2
  5094. I dont get the "bernie bot" remark. Is agreeing with bernie more timea than not male u a bot? I have seen u critique him in number of vids. Unlike Hillary bots that see no wrong, no hypocrisy, no issue with her or her lack of giving 2 REAL shits about the common ppl. That person is an idiot!
    2
  5095. Thanks!
    2
  5096. You are correct - Cooper could have framed the question in a positive way by asking: "Do you think that by being an independent you will benefit the Democratic Party?". Or "Do you think by being an independent you can encourage independents to vote for Democrats?".
    2
  5097. Criticizing the "liberal"/Killarist establishement in US and the establishement in UK is offensive now.
    2
  5098. Valid points; however the party as a whole is a fundraising platform. Unless a candidate finds a way to be distanced from the DNC (I'd argue Sanders did so much) then even if they're not directly taking contributions they can (and do) receive those funds indirectly through the party apparatus. It's very sophisticated. Still, good on you for speaking your mind on a controversial topic such as this one. We need more independent (and courageous) thinkers. Which leads me to question why I'm not uploading my own videos already. (I'm an anonymous coward, it seems.)
    2
  5099. Ford's favorite 5 favorite statements this debate: "NDP are Bad" "My Friends" "For the people" "Cuts" "Massive spending" because fuck making a platform and solid clean cut policies.

  5100. Hey! From David to David... would you do more Canadian-themed content?
    2
  5101. That dude started out as a White Male in a white supremacist nation. Dude shouldn't try to tell me he started with nothing. He started with privileges that NO POC experience!
    2
  5102. Syncopator Google Alex Jones, first page is his website infowars. Literally one more click and you're listening to his show or watching if you prefer video. He's not out in the wilderness he's just as accessible as before.
    2
  5103. If I were you dude I would start diversifying putting your content on other platforms, if anything this experience has proven to a .lot of youtubers, that you can't be reliant on one service for your main source of income or even to keep your content up sometimes. I mean it takes only bandwidth really to mirror a video on like vidme, or other services, (they do exist) Basically everybody has gotten smacked but "preferred content providers", which is usually bs mainstream media. I know it sucks but its not really about the unoffensive content, other factors are at play here, but I'm not sure what, and what Google's motivations are but its clear its intentional, I don't think its just supply-demand economics on advert serving tbh.

  5107. I agree with David

  5109. I just discovered this channel. I watch a number of (more or less) progressive channels and this one, after only four videos, is shooting to the top of my list. EXCELLENT factual reporting and well-reasoned opinions. Thanks to the young progressives who give me hope that they might salvage the ideals that my generation seemed to have but then abandoned in favor of money. (70 year old white man)

  5110. Good going David. I lived in London, Ontario in 1969 and 1970 and that is the kind of system needed in the US.
    2
  5111. I joined your Patreon just yesterday, because of the demonetizing purge going on. Best of luck, and thanks for all you do.
    2
  5112. keep it up thinking of subscribing,i find your comments sober and refreshing,none of that ranting and raving..
    2
  5113. I'm sorry you're dealing with this bullshit. I recently found your channel and have subscribed and enjoy your content. I hope they stop doing this to you guys. This hurts new political channels more than it does old channels. You don't even have a chance to be popular. Ugh.
    2
  5114. That ludacris quote tho guys... David's killing it lately. Too savage for his own good
    2
  5115. I love how David looks at all the possible angles. It would benefit Wall Street to have progressives question or outright say Warren has sold out. I think Warren is still with Progressives. Takes more to convince me otherwise.
    2
  5116. This is an excellent video, noting that both strategies can work in tandem: strengthen the Green Party, and support the new Progressive Justice supporters trying to transform the hollowed out Democratic Party. Both strategies combined in Canada to win medicare for all there.

  5117. I'm a 60 yr old White man and I'm telling you that Biden is either lying, delusional, or Senile.Yearly tuition at your local State University was only a couple hundred dollars a yr including books and fees. Both parents had jobs that offered Health Insurance and retirement packages. Most family's on any given block in suburbia had a mortgage. Great paying Union Jobs were in abundance and Uncle Sam was spending on Infrastructure creating more great paying jobs. Almost NONE of this is being offered to Main Street America TODAY, including our Millennials. S/U/X/-IT Joe!! You're just another out of touch and failed Corporatist Democrat working for USA Inc.

  5118. I must admit, this is the first time I've actually heard Corbyn speak, and I'm sad that I didn't look him up before. This might be only a small sample on one issue, but in US news, even 'reputable' ones, tend to make him out as some kind of wingnut. Clearly, this isn't true.

  5119. Are all Canadians as fine as David? He's edible. Like a lollipop šŸ­ šŸ˜›

  5120. LOL love the quote at the end.

  5121. As a nurse Doug is a dangerous man. If the NDP win will I finally get my Rae Day cash back as promised? Wynne has done a good job and not related to a liar nor gifts cash to rent a mobs Now where did the Ford Bros get their cash from?

  5122. Keep hitting the nail on the head, David.
    2
  5123. You and David Packman are so smart and well organized. I'll do whatever I can to keep you going. Keep up the good work.

  5124. that is the gayest shirt ive ever seen, love it. it like my grandmother's teacup. you're awesome.

  5125. Progressive Conservatives have nothing to offer Canadians. Ontario can't elect these morons.

  5126. First off a shirt is a shirt. No offense but people need to stop letting every little thing bother them. I'll admit I was a little disappointed at what appeared to be some disregard for people's jobs that David showed, but he's also not an economist. It's hard for a single man to have all the answers; with that said, it's unlike the coal industry because there would still be jobs for people. Those people would just have to become government workers imagine if Medicare for all were to pass today how many sick people would go to the doctor or for medication or some surgery they need. There is still a need for these transactions to occur and for the notification and medical histories of millions of Americans to be given to the government. We would need knowledgeable proficient workers to get this done in every state. Especially since we are no longer disregarding people for preexisting conditions. Unfortunately, there may be some job loss or transfer, but there are some people who are working just for their health insurance and want to retire, but can't afford to paying premiums and deductibles. Medicare for all will also increase jobs with small businesses and may create more small businesses because people are no longer worried about paying for health insurance for their workers and can focus on other aspects that may improve their bottom line. That said I'm not an economist either and this is all speculation.

  5127. Claiming the anti-genocide protestors are just "pro Hamas" reminds me of 2003 when protestors against the Iraq invasion were "supporting terrorism". Pro-war people have to resort to lies and ad hominem, because they have no real justifications.
    2
  5128. I LOVE your videos David. Even when (or especially when) I don't agree with you on a given topic, you make me THINK! And that can only be described as a "good thing"!

  5130. Based on this video, Iā€™d love if Ana does the Mar-a-Lago interview on The President Show + announces her candidacy. She could easily justify doing it on That platform based on a) the audience is her likely voter base, and b) politics and entertainment media are absolutely interconnected in this neoliberal Trump-ian era. It actually makes sense to announce a real campaign for a candidate resisting this admin (and itā€™s supposed opposition) using a late night comedy show, which relegates the presidency by artfully + humorously emulating it. Also ā€“ The Young Turks has a connection to the show, as both Tony Atamanuik (with comedian James Adomian) and TYT did their own sponsored tours with Fusion. They are a collaborative force, and I think Comedy Central is connected to a deeper vain in this country thatā€˜d be a positive force for the Kasparian campaign. Just feeding the rumor, though... šŸ˜‰
    2
  5131. Just saying. You're very cute. And I love your videos.
    2
  5132. Greedy management and a corrupt establishment have caused main stream media to work against the wellbeing of the people. It's a toxic, abusive situation that have resulted in unsustainable oppression. They fear progressives because they want to end the abuse and crimes!
    2
  5133. just some idiot fucking up. Canadian immigration/border control is famous for it. Always err on the side of extreme caution.
    2
  5134. I am impressed and grateful for this piece, David. Canada has some extreme corruption risks. GO PUBLIC on CBC covered a series of crimes against banking clients in 2017. This resulted in the Parliamentary Banking Committee holding hearings in June 2017, and Finance Minister Bill Morneau asked the FCAC Financial Consumer Agency of Canada to comment on these crimes before he acts. The FCAC issued a report on March 20, 2018, that shows no comprehension of real rule of law standards, and brushes off criminal abuse with a glib euphemism of "mis-selling". In the meantime, the elderly in Canada are being deprived of the protection of our actual laws. It would be great if you could look into that aspect of Canadian corruption. It needs the Rational National treatment--- so people can see the paper trail of deceit that serves as Canadian policy at the provincial and federal level. A lot has to be done.

  5135. Great Video šŸ’ŖšŸ’ŖšŸ’Ŗ
    2
  5136. David great insight as always. Big big fan of your show..
    2
  5137. @David Doel; I wonder why you cover more US politics when in canada we have our own BS to deal with. god knows we have plenty of our own bullshit to unveil to the public and we also need to stir up our own populous to start voting with their brains instead of the their asses. We can't afford another dumbass like trudeau in office!

  5138. Go Max Kellerman.

  5139. Just signed up as pat...!

  5140. Amazing video! Thanks David!
    2
  5141. We're about to have the most progressive congress in history. That wont mean shit if Trump is still President. Get off your computer and go join your local DSA, join some local orgs, sign up to work for some local progressive campaigns. That's how real change is gonna happen.
    2
  5142. This is complete bullshit. I've only been subscribed on your channel for 4 months now and I've learned a lot from you. Still support ya. BTW how do you manage to get more gorgeous every video?
    2
  5143. The worst part of the Billionaire is its presumption of that money equals effort. If you work every day of your life dawn to dusk and you never make it out of poverty its because you are stupid and lazy. That is a self-serving fantasy of the morbidly rich and those who idolize them. It is based on the myth that you can make it in a capitalist society if you work hard enough - if you are poor then you didn't work hard enough. In truth it's a lack of morals that allows you to exploit your workers and take advantage of the system to hoard wealth. The Billionaire is neither necessary nor deserved, merely ruthless.

  5144. My uncle was a part of the film industry in Nova Scotia...he worked on films like Titanic, K19 The Widowmaker, and Moby Dick. He has since needed to go onto unemployment because he is unable to find reliable work now. The Liberal McNeil government are Neo-Liberal shills who have destroyed an entire industry in Nova Scotia.
    2
  5145. First of all,why is she even asking this guy? And why should she care what this one person thinks?This dude looks terrified. Shouldn't he be frightened of white supremacists and people running around with automatic weapons? With his attitude,why doesn't he hop on the GOP train? What is his actual ideology as a democrat anyway? Nothing is mentioned beside his obvious terror and Donald status .David is absolutely correct in that they are advertising their corruption just by entertaining this conversation,by him being her guest and seeming to be unaware of what they just revealed as if it is totally normal and acceptable for this one guy to be her single guest , who has on one one's with a cable host and multiple US senators and can threaten them with his fearful opinion WOW, is the corruption so everyday,deep and normalized that it probably floats right over the heads of most viewers,not setting off the appropriate radars and alarms?Additionally,if Mr billionaire( uhh-oh I said the offending adjective and it is interesting that he identifies the word as descriptor rather than noun) is not into the GOP tax cuts and other cow towing to their wealthy donors ,what is this terror that strikes his heart in regard to progressives ?He is on a pedestal but it is simply subconscious and therefore so is the fear of the fall? David puts a spotlight on Another relavent topic and gives us an excellent take on this skewed disfunctional, obfuscated issue that may not be covered anywhere else or by anyone else but the estute David Doel. My extended babbling rant is over...I certainly was triggered!
    2
  5146. A suggestion on attacking him...he will gut services, he will destroy services. Education gets worse. Health care gets worse. You'll loose your pension. You won't get a raise, and might lose your job altogether. Sure he talks out of both sides of his mouth, but just call the crap for what it really is...there is no ambiguity. He knows how to prop up the rich short term & ruin society.

  5147. That photo of Trump, Melania and Baron is so ludicrous it resembles Willy Wonka.

  5148. Great video.

  5149. I just found you through Jimmy Dore, Kyle Kulunski, and Humanist Report. ā¤ļøā¤ļø Thank you for your service David.
    2
  5150. David, you need to expose just what the American Enterprise is? It's right wing, corporate funded, think tank that wants to cut consumer protections, cut taxes, and cut environmental protections. https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/american-enterprise-institute/
    2
  5151. YT is using an algorithm that checks words and thumbnails in partnership with corporate advertisers who basically have cast a wide net of what they don't want to "support". The video actually being offensive, hate speech, etc does not matter anymore, just use the wrong "thumbnail" you'll get demonetized :/
    2
  5152. This analysis is spot on dude.

  5153. Nina Turner is unbeatable in a democratic presidential primary and general election.
    2
  5154. Ben Shapiro is an idiot. This is another major problem with the media in this country idiots like him on both sides given major platforms to spew nonsense. These so called journalists never challenge them or make them provide facts backing up their bullshit
    2
  5155. Rat Nat, Couple of points: First - How can you dare complain about fanatics when you are a Maple Leafs fan? (kidding, not - Go Flyers!). Second, isn't Parkhomenko a Russian Name? Wonder if this is just another game they play to effect the elections? Third, Daou is the reason the Democrats are dying in spite of the easy lay up the president, his administration and the Republicans are giving them. Verrit is a Russian slang word for lonesome self pity. As I listen, it dawns on me that Daou may be a plant, not for Hilary's sake, but to drain energy from the effort to unify democrats. I believe the personal catharsis is long over. This is either a ploy from outside forces to divide the democrats(center, left, progressives), or someone with self esteem issues.
    2
  5156. That's what I'm talking about David! Do more stuff like this pleeeease. Educate us plz. We don't all have the time to find this information but u have built credibility w me over the months and ur climbing my friend...I c u ^_^ at 30k now man! I'm not the only one who appreciates u. DON'T STOP. I am one person but ppl like me r ignorant...not dumb. Continue to provide rational argument and evidence and educate those of us who r to distracted by the trivialities of life. Stay on ur path sir...u never know how far u'll go ;)...

  5157. I am now thy Patron, good sir. Take my $3 and bring forth knowledge.

  5158. Don't do it if you don't have the money but he has a right to try and make a living doing what he does. I'm sure he isn't trying punish you but rather he is just trying to do something to thank his patrons. Don't overthink it and don't spend the money if you don't have it to give.

  5159. She should have never served a day in prison. She put her ass on the line same as Snowden for the people. I'd vote for her or donate to her campaign.

  5160. I frakin' <3 this Canadian dude.
    2
  5161. Great video! Thanks!
    2
  5162. That dude who commented was up on himself about donating to the Red Cross!? Let's pleas all get it together concerning that fucking organization.
    2
  5163. Fucking disgusting. History will eventually look back on these times as a distinct low-point in human civilization. At least in the Dark Ages, we could hide behind our shared level of legitimate ignorance. Now our ignorance is just willful and deliberate.
    2
  5164. Great video.Minimum wage should be closer to $20 in large cities like Toronto.Wage inequality is insane so vote against Ford and his party.
    2
  5165. Thanks!
    2
  5166. Always grateful for your perspective but it was the moment you did the voice that I found it necessary to tip you...
    2
  5167. What the fuck does Jordan Peterson call class action law suits? A group made of individuals. Does he not understand how the law works? Does he not understand how things get done in society?
    2
  5168. Every time I think about those kids, I feel sick. This administration makes me fucking sick.
    2
  5169. I am shocked that liberals would pass a bill like this! This is terrible!
    2
  5170. I love these videos on Canadian politics man, keep them coming. I think you might be the only online news show I've found that covers these stories.
    2
  5171. OMG, you're right. I just had a conversation like this where I was able to validate a person who was saying white privilege was bs and not reflective of them. I somehow got them to see that privilege was a form of positive stereotypes and it was of course NOT TRUE about them, but that all stereotypes have nothing to do with who we really are but instead speak to how we are interpreted by others. Unfortunately, it was a short-lived understand because he started insisting that if it's not 100% true all of the time that a white person will be treated better than a black person then white privilege is false. But he did take off of his page some garbage statistics about how black people are always killing white people. So I think at least he understood race/stereotypes are more about how we are perceived than who we really are. I feel validated in my approach because of this video.
    2
  5172. Is there an appeal process when YouTube demonetizes? Do they have to justify their decision? Whatever the case, this is bullshit. I wish you had other options. Love your stuff, man.
    2
  5173. David,I think you are amazing and I am going to Patreon and I m going to Team YouTube on your behalf .Not that I am anyone .They will probably ignore me,but I am gonna try! We sure as Hell need more voices like yours.
    2
  5174. Just found your channel. I'm liking what I'm seeing so far. Keep it up. Subscribed.
    2
  5175. As someone who lives in Canada, I'd vote for David if he were running to be my MP.
    2
  5176. I used to think I was right leaning independent until I broke things down policy by policy. Now I realize I'm pretty progressive. I think more people would discover the same thing if they went policy by policy.
    2
  5177. The Rational National, bravo! And next time, to spite the critics, choose a pink roses pattern. Cheers.
    2
  5178. Wasn't there a story about a "kid's litterbox", and it turned out to be the litter box for an ACTUAL cat that one of the teachers had at the school? I feel like I remember reading about that.
    2
  5179. I consider myself mostly conservative. However, there are some progressive youtube hosts (you, Kyle Kulinski & Jimmy Dore) that I enjoy watching. I cannot stand Joy Reid. Joy Reid is not a progressive. She doesn't give a shit about issues. She's just a Democratic Party apologist. If Hillary Clinton filmed herself peeing on her desk, Joy would defend that. If Ted Bundy were a democrat, she would defend him. She needs to get her head out of her corporate democrat ass.
    2
  5180. I love it Davey! I hope he gets screwed!
    2
  5181. Lmfaoo Doug ford looked like he was gonna have a panic attack when he asked him that question šŸ˜‚, the look on his face was priceless
    2
  5182. That moment when you are Chris Hayes and your producer starts screaming into your earpiece that you have to shut that shit down.
    2
  5183. Very good reporting David! Looking forward to more of this sort of thing in the future.
    2
  5184. Ok fair enough. Apologies, I am in he middle of writing essays and looking for excuses not to write them, so my nit picking levels are at an all time high.
    2
  5185. Because you're not repeating the Democratic establishment party line. Google which owns YouTube undoubtedly has people who are not pleased that you are not parroting MSNBC. YouTube would probably crush tyt today if they could.
    2
  5186. Neoliberal politicians cut government spending --> public institutions (health, education, etc) breakdown --> neoliberals say government is unable to deliver quality services --> public services privatised --> costs of services increase -and quality often decreases --> the less weatlthy struggle to afford basic services, becoming poor, less healthy, and under-educated
    2
  5187. good video
    2
  5188. Love this program.
    2
  5189. The debate never ends though. The Frasier Institute has been putting out lying study after lying study about Canada's system for years. Some are stupid enough to believe it. Corporate shill lobbyists in all countries should be banished to Baffin Island or Siberia to eek out a real living rather than live as parasitic entities off of real working poeple.
    2
  5190. I like that The Rational National isn't like Secular Talk matter a fact I had a falling out with that show when I found The Rational National. Granted I don't dislike Secular Talk but offered more opinionated and doesn't talk about solutions. All I have to say is about The Rational Nation is like tyt politics and Secular Talk is TYT news, TyT new and Secular Talk more opinionated, and TYT Politics(Jordan and the guy that report on the hill) seem to me better followers of the stories that they report and with less opinionated. I like this show and how he isn't under the TYT umbrella that I know of.
    2
  5191. David, really good explanation about access. In fact, all around great video.
    2
  5192. Love when you do the reports on the 'home front!' Trudeau has to date just put a sunnier face on business as usual.
    2
  5193. Danielle Pletka knew exactly what she was doing on the behalf of her American oligarch masters. Equating populist socialist movements in Europe (in this case the UK) with the right wing nutjobs here in the US e.g. Trump, Don Blankenship and Roy Moore in the minds of mushy centerist low information American voters. She knows damn well that Jeremy Corbyn is an orthodox Labour Party leader but that is the point.
    2
  5194. That makes a lot of sense. Thanks for the update. I do feel like this does help me understand WL a little better.
    2
  5195. Consider yourself hugged, thanks David...
    2
  5196. thank you - very interesting
    2
  5197. Nothing looks funny when you don't take the money. Stay clean - avoid the green. No one can talk trash if you don't take the cash. No one is able to holler if after you left the meeting the table still has stacks of dollars. The devil can't buy your souls if you pockets have big holes. All good Children need a home with Matriarch, don't get turned out and trafficked by the oligarch. The true way to keep open financials is to follow the advice of The Rational National. Somebody stop me.....
    2
  5198. The Rational National Understandable because she has communicated a lot of what progressives like and in the current climate people like her really stand out. I guess we shall see how it goes. Those corporate Dems have a lot of money backing them. Thanks for responding though. Havenā€™t gotten a lot of responses from YouTubers so good on you. Have watched you for about 2 months now I enjoy your perspective and your break downs of current political events.
    2
  5199. "I'm for the little guy" ... sounds like Trump. He can't even articulate. Hey Ford, We have 2 Doctors in Quebec (Couillard & Barette) and still healthcare is shit... And i thought Americans were idiots... Seems Ontarians are not far behind...
    2
  5200. Garth Brooks leans solid left.
    2
  5201. More proof that Ben Shapiro is a moron. His site thinks Feinstein is a 'hard-line liberal'.
    2
  5202. LOL @ Jim Justice...
    2
  5203. I debunked this ridiculous lie for 2 of my coworkers in about 30 seconds of googling and asking "who do you think is cleaning the litter boxes? The janitors?" But Bro Jogan, multi millionaire Podcaster with a production staff can't figure out comically silly lies. Either he's dumber than he even seems he's just a useful idiot or he's a right wing propagandist intentionally.
    2
  5204. Thanks!
    2
  5205. Love your videos. Found out about you through Jimmy Dore. Please continue.
    2
  5206. Enjoyed this very much, thank you!
    2
  5207. If you write off politicians because you disagree with some of their positions or actions then you will write off everyone. Hell, I don't agree with Bernie 100% of the time. Warren for the most part has been on our side. Certainly in the top 20% of current Democrats. Her actions brought to light in this video are disturbing. We should keep them in mind and act accordingly. Just don't overreact...yet.
    2
  5208. Top bank executives said the same thing about Hillary Clinton's campaign rhetoric. I have a hard time believing such comments are some kind of underhanded plot. It feels like the establishment assuring itself that it's safe to continue with the current strategy of buying off both sides. Anybody who voted to increase the already disgusting and indefensible "defense" budget will never get my support. Bye-bye Al Franken and Amy Klobuchar. Thanks a lot for putting more bombs in the hands of our insane man-child president.
    2
  5209. If your system needs to be "reformed" repeatedly, maybe it is fundamentally broken?
    2
  5210. None of the videos you showed are offensive in any way, it's just legitimate news!
    2
  5211. David is goated for liking Valkyria Chronicles
    2
  5212. Just discovered your channel. Love it. We need more voices like yours, secular talk and Jimmy Dore.
    2
  5213. 3:30 she's a bimbo bubble head who doesn't mind the negative attention in return of a juicy cheque. I think she will say anything to get the ratings going but dummy Tomi doesn't get how this will come bite her in the ass if they passed the policies she supports. She was against Obama care while being covered under her parents plan šŸ¤¦ā€ā™€ļø
    2
  5214. That explains why I see 15 a day it seems like. Thanks for explaining. I love your show!
    2
  5215. I am 36 and support the party going solid left of Center. These establishment Democrats are in a bubble. You lost to Trump because you screwed over the only candidate that was for the American people! Sanders! Half of the country didn't vote. Last years election was a huge excuse my language fuck you to Washington DC. Americans know you were trying to shove a Corporatist Warmonger down our throats. The games are up and you know it!
    2
  5216. Thanks!
    2
  5217. Judge by her votes, not by speculation
    2
  5218. You do such a nice job!
    2
  5219. Finale a commentator who has not lost his mind!
    2
  5220. David, your accent betrays your Canadian-ness, and I have always wondered why you focused on American politics. Thanks for clearing that up. I love your rational voice as a Progressive and will promote your videos as I can.
    2
  5221. Dude youā€™re on a roll. Really enjoying your videos lately. I think you are really creating a name for yourself
    2
  5222. David Doel for Emperor!!!
    2
  5223. David, Maybe you should just do a couple of pop culture fluff vidz here and there to keep monetization. "David Doel's Top 5 hottest Amazonians from WonderWoman." JS. Btw, I just became a Patreon, brother. Fight the power.
    2
  5224. Holy shit JP fans are fucking fragile.
    2
  5225. "Reality vs donors"... love that viewpoint
    2
  5226. David , said the same about him before the election . And the stupid assholes that voted for him , can't understand this . THE BUFFOON at his best , screwing over the average working Joe .
    2
  5227. I'm so glad this Rational National called into Sam Seder's show. This dude has the right tone (not into infighting on the Left), and when I saw Cloobeck's comments on Twitter, I had similar reactions. Anyone reading this, pick up Thomas Frank's book 'Listen Liberal'. We, the Working Class, need to take back the Democratic Party. We need candidates who talk about the Working Poor (sadly, Sanders hardly mentioned us) and the Middle Class. Cloobeck, we don't want money in politics. Don't give us another dollar. We don't want your money; we want our party; we want real Left-wing policies.
    2
  5228. Great clip and thank you!
    2
  5229. I'm engaged....4.5 billion for a friggin pipe line using our tax dollars.BULL SHIT!!!That should have been a national referendum.Let the people of Canada vote on something like this.I don't think it would have passed.MR. ENVIRONMENT!!!

  5232. watching your take on this subject open my eyes. I don't use drugs never had nor will. truthfully, it disgusts me and the image of someone doing so unsettles me. However, for the better of my nation sadly the USA, there is something to gain from Portugal's take on drugs. Shame you arent a politician, seen several of your videos and along with the humanist report, your ideas and views could change many lives.
    2
  5233. Lol huge corporations who control the media, covering BS politics with talking heads 24/7. That only care about access, donā€™t rock the boat and are pro war pro establishments. Liberal media my ass
    2
  5234. This is one of the best videos I've seen in awhile and while some people will always see (insert minority here) a certain way it's fuckn wrong! I had a long conversation with a friend last night and he was convinced that the Jews run the world... the entire time I'm thinking "are you fucking with me right now?" But I realized he actually believes that shit... And I work a 9-5 so I only get to talk to em so often but because he's not working he has dived face first into that bullshit... I just regret not being there... hopefully I can talk some sense into him...does anyone else have a friend like that?
    2
  5235. Thank you for this video ! I was looking for the canadian point of vue on such an important issue
    2
  5236. It's truly sad how ignorant and misinformed a lot of conservative folk are. I follow several conservative news channels as well as a few establishment channels to keep up on the latest propaganda and hypocrisy that takes place. The information given to people on the right is nothing but fragments of truth wrapped in lies and delusions. I bet there were many who were watching Tomi and agreeing with her every word like idiots. Michelle was attacked all the time. I even remember when they made an issue because she wore a dress and had her shoulders revealed. I swear reading through the comments in those news outlets makes me misanthropic and disheartened about society, especially because they speak with such conviction. Ugh im praying the progressive movement keeps its momentum. The baby boomers will have all passed soon and hopefully we can rectify all the damage that has been done in the last 30-40 years smh.

  5239. I really feel for ya, man - wish I had answers. See Google fucks in my building every day. They do not strike me, in general, as kind or thoughtful people. I realize that's a bit sweeping, but it's not a good vibe, let me just say. At any rate, have upped my Patreon from $2 to $3. Wish it could be more. Peace...

  5242. The BC NDP didn't criticize Dogwood when they were phoning Green Party members and encouraging them to strategically vote NDP. Even David Suzuki got on board and voted NDP and encouraged others to as well. What a double standard!
    2
  5243. It's amazing to me that he sounded identical to a Republican, because he was repeating right-wing talking points. He just admitted that he wants the Democrats to be Republicans. Jesus Christ, RIchard Nixon could be a Democrat with how right-wing they are at this point!

  5245. That is an interesting point to call it ā€œracially disadvantagedā€. However, the economically disadvantaged situation can change if America corrects its economic situation (stops letting the wealthy few hide taxable income and make corporations pay taxes, i.e.). Skin color and other things that will never change make the situation a bit different. The problem can always re-occur once the white underclass is no longer an underclass. And I can imagine that black people must feel that reality on a daily basis. I know that people with hidden disabilities feel that fear.

  5248. I don't know who this Jen person is ,but she certainly seem to lead with fear, followed by healthy dose of ignorance as do other Sanders detractors and dissenters.Another great segment from David who is wonderfully creative and inventive in his dissemination of essentials. Thankfully,he always seems to have his finger on the pulse of substantial issues that have certainly aided and illuminated in my sorely lacking portfolio since the horror that is Trump forced my attention to the political landscape.I wonder if David would provide us with a bit of a bio. Would love to know how his fair, impressive and strategic mind was molded.šŸ˜€

  5250. Ben Shapiro needs to shut the fuck up. seriously, you have to be an idiot to think that stronger gun reform isnt needed in America. These dumbasses need to actually read the 2nd Amendment, you arent a "well-regulated militia". You can give them (conservatives/right-wing/Republicans) all the data in the world and theyll still pull shit out their ass that has no factual basis in reality and the media doesnt challenge them. Also, Im pretty sure he made up bullshit about 100 people messaging him and saying that they were bullied. Sounds like another person who makes up bullshit hmmmmmm
    2
  5251. Dave, as a Canadian, I watch you because you cover both American and Canadian politics (just like they do on our Canadian mainstream media). But unlike them. you don't just cover the same things as they're more focused on Trump and the supreme court nominations than they are about progressives in the USA trying to change things for the better! And you're one of the very few voices from Canada that I find interesting (or that I mostly agree with!), maybe I am just missing others but I'm glade you're here at least! I am still searching for someone who does a good job like you do in my language (in French!) and covering specific QuƩbec-related political stuff. Not that I really need it to make my mind on issues but I'd certainly enjoy that!

  5252. Saying that "kids today will learn from one another when it's legal, despite the allowable age to consume, kids are going to harvest weed, kids are going to experiment" is a ridiculous argument. Alcohol is just as dangerous (arguably more dangerous than) cannabis, and in most homes, it is readily available to children/teens under the legal age as well. Are we going to ban alcohol for this reason as well? All in all, many awful arguments by MP Peter Kent
    2
  5253. While I like your idea of dragging the gun nuts to the left, the democrats in this country would never have the balls to even attempt it. It's a sad reality and it leaves me feeling hopeless. Keep it up though, I like the way you're thinking of new possible solutions.

  5254. Thank you so much for creating this video! I came home today to find a handful of my content which had been fine for months, has been demonetized. I have had no issues up till now with YouTube. For whatever good it does I requested a review and even altered anything out of my title, descriptions and tags that might not seem advertiser friendly. The one video I had demonetized at first has been under review for weeks with no change.....but now today I find it popping up on more of them for no reason it seems.... My content only consists of reviewing my action figure collections. For anyone that has watched my content I try my best to avoid any profanity, sexual content, politics, religion etc..... I also use no music, clips or pictures at all. Glad to see videos like this showing support for us and understanding on this whole issue.

  5255. Fucking obnoxious. I cannot stand this guy because the #resistance loves these kinds of guys. They love that he puts a bandaid on a gushing wound that is the struggling middle class.

  5256. The only upside to Hickenlooper running for president is then EB out of Colorado. As a resident of Colorado I advise no one to vote for this man he has fought all our efforts to ban fracking, he is fought us in our efforts to legalize marijuana and he opposed are single-payer healthcare plan in 2016.

  5257. Any way the wind blows with Doug Ford. He's previously described himself as socially liberal, socially conservative, a few years ago he claimed gay men he befriended have slept in his Chicago residence, now he believes schools shouldn't teach kids that its ok to be gay... The Greenbelt reversal... His wife was Jewish for a day... Who wouldn't trust Doug Ford? Oh, and he's such an outsider - being the son of a millionaire former MPP and all. A real authentic commoner.

  5262. all the pundits i watch get demonetized...now you are legit dave ;-) Ā i also bust my ass to make a living doing what i love so i feel for you. Ā i am totally disgusted with google for doing this to you guys. Ā you are offensive to the establishment boo. Ā that's why the progressive pundits get demonetized.

  5266. I live in BC, fuck the pipeline, I love my beautiful GREEN province and I support Indigenous rights. We need to move towards renewable energy, NOT towards fueling multi billion dollar companies at the expense of the planet and BC people. NDP should know better!!! The amount of money that would actually go towards creating jobs and boosting the economy is NOTHING compared to the long term success going renewable would create for not only BC and Alberta but for the entire country. As an NDP and Green voter I'm very disappointed in the Alberta NDP. They should be looking out for their people, the NDP is commonly the party for workers and they're not doing that, they should know that going renewable is the only long term solution, and the only one that would not destroy the middle class in the province. This story is an amazing accomplishment but the actions of the NDP are soul crushing. Good job showing the country that you're just like the liberals and conservatives, only interested in filling your pockets no matter who or what it hurts. Disgusting.

  5267. Ben Shapiro called Dianne Feinstein hard-left. We can safely disregard anything he says, ever. That is just blatant dishonesty. See his article titled "THE STUPID PARTY: California Democrats Reject Hard-Line Leftist Senator Dianne Feinstein For Insufficient Radicalism" at the dailywire

Thanks for taking the time to reply.

  5271. When I was a salesman (hated it) I was faced with this problem all the time. I found the empathy thing to work well. I started off agreeing with them -- either finding some aspect of their argument that was correct, or by outright lying. Then point out some aspect that wouldn't change their minds, but which is an exception or contrary information that you think they can agree with. Get them agreeing with you. Then slowly turn the argument by pointing out bigger and bigger problems with the position you have agreed with. If they stop agreeing, stop the argument and pick it up at a later date.

  5272. Thanks!

  5273. Sounds suspect - you are correct. Need to be further checked out.

  5275. I love that you're focusing on this. So many people don't have a clue what the 1st amendment means and free speech and all that. But when a govt agency stifles your speech, THAT is what is protected by the US Constitution, in a very specific manner. You're a fucking Canadian and you even get it. Also, this guy with a Spanish last name, on may 5, wrote a post against ICE, and 24 hrs later ICE is banging down his door and threatening him. Also 1dt amendment violation. These examples need to be added together and shown to the American people who don't seem to realize this is exactly how Nazis came to power in 1930s Germany.

  5277. OK...got you, Mary's choice for sure. Great piece. Whenever I hear questions about mainstream media, I've trained...well, you all bring it out...myself just to think: "Follow the money". You can never go wrong. Way to go Michelle, that third clip about how much mainstream media owes T(he)Rump was "Oh sure, that explains what all the huffing(ton post) was all about. Keep it up, David and Mary.

  5278. THIS. Food deserts are a literal thing. I grew up in an area that didn't have a real grocery store for miles. You had to drive ten or twenty minutes away to get any kind of fresh produce. The only "grocery stores" were these little corner shops that sold wonder bread for five bucks and a can of beans for 4 bucks. If you didn't have any reliable transportation you were stuck eating crap. It's honestly something I didn't think about until I got older and moved to a better neighborhood were I am surrounded by at least five or six grocery stores in reasonable walking distance.

  5281. +Wild Bill The issue is that too often they aren't given the benefit of the doubt. How else do you explain the "shoot first, ask questions later"- mentality that has been caught on so many cameras? In situations like that there literally is nothing a black kid(for instance) can do to avoid ending up on the wrong side of a gun. If some kid looks at toy guns in a shop that the shop ACTUALLY SELLS and the cops show up and gun him down immediately , what should he have done according to you to avoid being mowed down? And why doesn't that seem to happen to white kids? Do you think race might play a role in those scenarios?
    2
  5282. +Wild Bill Riiiight it's all one big conspiraceeeeeh! I find it amusing that it seems you HAVE to deny that race might be a factor in anything. Always some other excuse, can't even make the slightest concession. What about black people being arrested and convicted at much higher rates for drug use, despite both demographics using at roughly the same rate? What's your profound excuse for that one? How about the median wealth for whites being 134k$ compared to just 11k$ blacks. Do you think there is a problem there? Or is all of that just due to black being so very very lazy?

  5283. This human shield bullshit rhetoric has to stop. such a garbAGE argument

  5288. Not surprised Shapiro's irresponsible bullshit led to violent acts. It was only a matter of time. Of course, his BS only works on dumb people as everyone else would notice inconsistencies between what he's talking about and real world facts. They would notice that what he's saying doesn't add up, ignore him, then move on.

  5292. its quite obvious what is happening; the mainstream media is losing control of the narrative; the election showed that; now they will try to destroy alternative news

  5293. Hillary and Joy Ann Reid will take every excuse to put down Bernie Sanders. Two hypocrites doing what they do best.
    2
  5294. When conservatives say ā€œThe extreme leftā€ they have absolutely no idea what they are talking about. There is no unified leftist organization or groups in the US with any power. A leftist is generally an anarchist, a communist, or some specific kids of socialists. They oppose capitalism, hierarchies, and many other things that liberals stand for. The left is not liberal. American liberalsā€”democratsā€”are conservative centrists by all political measures apart from the stupid rhetoric of American pundits and propaganda
    2
  5295. There have been many videos posted about the stunning comments Captain Baker made about the Atlanta shooter. This video was especially helpful because you included information about how to deal with anti-Asian hatred. Thank you. It's really hard to know when and how to call out hatred.
    2
  5296. Thanks! Your explanation should help progressive activists to understand that the health insurance & pharmaceutical industries will be joined by the AMA and ADA in opposition to Medicare for All! A workable system should establish rational, equitable limits on all aspects of health-care costs, including the ridiculously extortive rates that many American physicians, dentists, specialists and med-labs charge! This will be a hard battle against well-funded sources of propaganda, bribery and political corruption; let's pitch this battle with exceptional energy & activism, starting in California!

  5297. Hi David. H3H3 did a really good job in their most recent video on this that reveals what is going on as far as corporate media being favored over original non corporate creators such as yourself. Styxenhammer666 who I don't necessarily agree with also made a 4 part video series on the subject that made some good points yesterday. If you have the chance I would watch them, especially the H3H3 video. Thanks for the videos, you always bring a fair view on things.

  5302. I think the Democrats will go for a more progressive candidate after seeing what happened with Hillary. There are a few things that we need to learn though. If a progressive wins the primary, the establishment will need to support 100% and if a centrist wins it, progressives will need to back 100% as well. We can not afford to hand another 4 years to Trump and his army of hellish demons. Look at all that LGBT, Immigrants, people of color, muslims, disabled people, veterans, women, etc have to go through because of Trump. We will have to stick together better this time.

  5303. I can't believe the stupidity that comes out of these paid officials ...It baffles the mind . Another governor is saying he is going to supply " river rocks " to the kids to throw at the person shooting at them ...seriously ???? How incredibly stupid & ignorant of these people . Hoping their voters look at this garbage & send them to the street where they belong .

As a nurse for many years, the health system is also rigged, too complex and the system and employers are culpable for the state of health of the many. I am subscribing and sharing and hope others get the message too.

  5316. I lived in CA when Feinstein was mayor of SF. She vetoed a pay equity bill because she said the city couldn't afford it. Now we can't afford healthcare or free college -- even though she just voted almost a trillion dollars to the MIC. It's obvious what her priorities are, and they do not align with mine. I hope she is one of MANY corporate Democrats who find themselves looking for work after the next election.

  5317. I used to think abortion is "murder" and slut shamed a lot. My internalized misogyny was so deep seated due to years of Christian indoctrination, it took me a couple of years to turn my views around by listening to people outside my comfort zone and researching. Now I'm a socialist feminist atheist. LMAO PEOPLE CAN CHANGE. I don't think Cenk should be demonized for something he "thought"/wrote about in a fucking blog almost two decades ago.

  5323. I voted for Hillary and changed my perspective from watching you, the ring of fire, and tyt. I used to only watch msnbc.they made it seem like Bernies policies would never happen. When she lost I wanted to see what other people in the world were saying. Now I watch progressive shows and a few on msnbc like Rachel Maddow and Lawrence O'Donnell. I now like to add different perspectives. I used to watch Joy Reid but I no longer do because of the videos you have made and I now know the truth about her and don't want to hear her lies. Appreciate the show and hearing truth and facts

  5329. one of my favorite parts about the republican defense against gun stats is that "a good portion of those are suicides" yeah... maybe we shouldn't put guns in the hands of people who might KILL THEMSELVES, or be irresponsible enough that they might do so accidentally. How is that the defense of anyone with a brain in their head?

  5337. The Rational National I 100% agree! Seth Rich is a rabbit hole much like 9/11, the Gulf of Tonkin, JFK, the Clinton Foundation, and so many countless more. I appreciate your content and context use and supply. You are definately a channel I will follow for basically ever. You are insightful and widely avoid the horse and pony show that American Politics has become. I highly respect you and value your opinion and channel, with the majority of your content I agree with. I just happen to view the criminal cartels in our government to be just as messed up as the policies they push. I hope that 20+ years from now this era of American history will be viewed as the "Great Oppression" and constitutional amendments can be put in place to prevent our country from reaching this point again.

  5339. Hi David, Thanks for not turning your comments off as so many of my other fave progressive Youtube truth tellers have (probably because they are being financially and socially suppressed by anyone on Youtube who doesn't conform to the oligarchy so they are forced to make money from paying commenters). I used to go to Youtube to escape the corporate (everything) that spewed from television. For me the comment section used to be a great place to debate or even just learn other's points of view, (as long as one could sift through spammy and mean comments). I am still subscribed to your show but why was this warning blocking me from viewing your video unless I clicked ok to watch? And there is an additional warning below the video as well. I took a screenshot but don't see anyway to upload it here. I'll try to on Twitter

  5340. OMG, you just opened my eyes to this son of a bitch. Thanks Dude

  5341. Trudeau has been elected 3 times running on a progressive agenda but doesnā€™t follow through. Canadians get our best ā€œfor the peopleā€ legislation when a minority Liberal government has to work with the NDP and is forced to keep some of their promises. Imagine how much better it could be if the governing party was actually committed to moving our country forward for the 99%
    2
  5342. That was a great conclusion Mr.Doel! Your clip really shows how weak the journalism and journalists are now, when a parent of killed child has to be the one to do their work. Well done!

  5349. Actually he, as I do, support an all fronts approach. I support efforts of a hostile takeover of the party and I support building alternative parties if hostile takeover isn't successful. (or even if hostile takeover does succeed I STILL want viable alternatives) I support progressives. That is the important label to me. I don't care if someone is a democrat, green, independent or other. I'm happily not a registered democrat but I'm also fortunate to live in a state with an open primary. If I had to I'd register at least long enough to vote in the "democratic" primary. Leave room for nuance in your thinking. Be willing to support the guy getting fucked over in the audio even if he has the audacity to run as a democrat. That is very different that being willing to support corporate dems. Nobody is saying you should be doing that.

  5357. Thank you for your insight on Canadian politics! I'm German-American, but with the madness in American and also, to some extent, European politics, I got more and more interested in what's going on north of the Canadian border. So far I haven't gotten far beyond monitoring leadership changes and federal election polling. I'll look through your "older" videos about Canadian politics later, but I'll ask you anyway. What are your thoughts on the New Democratic Party in general, and also specifically the last leadership election? What are your general thoughts on Jagmeet Singh? And do you think the NDP has suffered since the passing of Jack Layton and do you think there is a connection between his absence and the party's decline? Greetings from Germany!

  5367. Like Kulinski pointed out, the thing to avoid here is "Damned if you do, damned if you don't." Harris should be encouraged for this move, because we need more support for health insurance reform, not less. At the same time it obviously doesn't mean that it's time for us to let her off the hook. This does bolster her credentials, but its not anywhere near to the "corruption credentials" that she amassed prior. Encourage support for the right policies, but keep pushing. We made her move.

  5371. I'm for helping those afflicted by the opioid epidemic. However, where was all of this compassion for drug users and addicts when African-Americans where seeking it. During the 80's, 90's until now the only help African-Americans were offered was and is incarceration. Now, since young White-americans are hooked we have an epidemic but when African-Americans were asking for help they were ignored and scorned. Whites=no jail, Blacks=jail. Can you please explain why this is the case?

  5386. must say that I agree with you re. basic income. What is best about the Basic Income idea is its universality. I think the points you made were sound. However, my main concern is that, as soon as you limit a program to certain populations, it effectively becomes means tested. Means tested programs are much more vulnerable than universal programs. They also breed resentment as invariable an eligibility line must be drawn and those who fall short will easily fall prey to propaganda about the laziness of recipients. Think about people in the States whose anger at Medicare recipients is based on the fact that they fall just a hair short of being eligible. They feel they are being penalized for being marginally more successful. It is also a problem with Obamacare. That being said, I'm still unsure about basic income and would like a conversation about a Federal job guarantee as a possible alternative. https://www.jacobinmag.com/2017/02/federal-job-guarantee-universal-basic-income-investment-jobs-unemployment/

  5391. 01:24 Danielle Pletka: "When political parties picked people, this kind of stuff didn't happen." The American Enterprise, Institute, through Donors Trust, is funded by the Koch brothers. AEI also employs: Charles F. Murray of The Bell Curve https://www.aei.org/scholar/charles-murray/ Ayaan Hirsi Ali of The Innocence of Muslims https://www.aei.org/profile/ayaan-hirsi-ali/ Christina Hoff Sommers or Freedom Feminism https://www.aei.org/profile/christina-hoff-sommers/ Get the picture. When Mary Pletka speaks, the Koch brothers speak. And they want less democracy, because it gets in the way of their profits.

  5395. i've been describing myself as a socialist for years. Ā i am loving the fact that we are winning all over america proving that the scourge of mccarthyism and the right wing brainwashing of the cold war is finally being penetrated. Ā we can all see that capitalism in it's current predatory incarnation is designed for the 1% and hurting the 99%. Ā all this success will do nothing to influence the democratic party though. Ā in the past year, time and time again the mainstream media and the consultant class have made it clear they like the status quo and are fighting tooth and nail to keep lining their own pockets while the rest of us suffer. Ā the fact that they keep using the same dirty tactics to keep progressives out of the party and out of office means they will keep representing the manager class instead of the workers. Ā the fact that the democratic party refused to support lee carter is nothing new. Ā they did the same thing to kshama sawant in seattle. Ā they don't want us. Ā we need to organize into a bigger party than the small time parties like democratic socialists and socialist alternative. Ā but it is so very great to see that socialists in america can be loud and proud and WIN ELECTIONS. Ā eat it democrats

  5397. Thank you so much, David. Sorry I caught this excellent segment late, but I'm trying to "sell" you to my boyfriend, and your argument is exactly what we've been trying to convince others to do for about 20 years. Obviously your regulars totally disagree, but you tried admirably.

  5398. I was late to the online left scene, Dore had already become the fake left grifter he is today. The first real Jimmy Dore lore I learned was when Ana from TYT made that video about how Dore was offensive and abusive towards her. His response was so vile, it was immediately apparent to me that everything Ana had said was true. I've watched hardly anything he makes cos he's so unlikable. That nasty laugh of his makes me want to drop kick my phone out the window. But I saw that piece he did on those "journalists" following Greta Thunberg around. They were obviously bad faith but Dore said Greta was wrong for blanking them and made that crack about autism. It's a shame he has an audience who buy his fake left grift. I just keep hoping they'll see something made by someone like one of you and the scales will fall from their eyes.

  5399. "When you just open yourself up to anyone who's willing to give you money" That was a very classy way to call Senator Manchin a whore, David. I approve. On an unrelated note: The last consequential vote Manchin recorded in the senate, was to confirm "Bloody" Ginas' appointment to head the CIA. "Hashtag Resistance, hooray!"

  5404. he was tasered, the shooter had a taser. why did the shooter use deadly force? This man was riding a bicycle. He was not a threat. How much more degrading did police have to make his life, and that of his family? The jefferson missouri murder happened to one of two teens jaywalking. The murderer cut off the jay walkers and pulled a gun almost immediately. The victim was running away, but he stopped and surrendered because he was overweight and out of breath. and then he was executed. for jaywalking.

  5405. I know some on the left still believe that "love trumps hate" bullshit, but I agree with Waters here. The right shoves shit in our face and we are expected to lick it up and give them a blowjob. Well no thank you. We need to let this administration know they we aren't spineless like the corporate Pelosi democrats. Not anymore.

  5406. Jesus Peterson is a loser. It's politically incorrect to call him an angry white man? More specifically "White"??? By the person who is supposedly arguing against political correctness? Peterson, the man who claims that no one deserves to be respected but has to earn respect from him, expects that he should be respected?

  5407. Even before Doug Ford opened his pie hole, I knew he's been full of shit from as far back as when Rob Ford was mayor. That entire family is full of shit. Even being all the way out here in Quebec, I can tell that Doug Ford is BS. If a 'frenchie' can tell you that the Ford family is nothing but a genetic anomaly of nature, I think that should tell all you Doug Ford supporters something! God damnit I'd like to lose touch with reality now and again as well! So, can someone from On send me some of that Koolaid? Everyone else seems to be getting better drugs than I do. Wake the fuck up Ontarians!

  5409. NAILED IT. I was just telling someone the exact same thing yesterday. Be pro choice and pro gun regulation and pro equality for all races and genders and sexual preferences BUT REFUSE to talk about it as much because a) the economic issues NEED TO BE the issues we tend to legislatively, and b) being vocally pro choice, or gun control, pro sex change operation in ladies room, ESPECIALLY while NOT putting economic issues front and center, is a BIG FAT LOSER IN SOCIALLY CONSERVATIVE DISTRICTS AND STATES! (and probably even swing states and moderate districts) The Democrats are fucking around. They know what they have to do to win but they don't want to do that.

I said, do you know you're working for a company that pays their employees in slave wages? He looked at me like I was a demon or something (he works in management) I think he actually never thought about it?? We haven't talked since then.... I just sent him a text saying "Congratulations for working at a company that can take criticism and change shyt for the better of the people"

Not easy to do...go Russell!

  5424. If Elon Musk was a socialist, his factories would be worker co-ops, he'd have shop floor workers on his board of directors, and he wouldn't make a dime more in his paycheck than the lowest-paid worker on the shop floor. The claim that he's a socialist when he busts unions and pays his workers shit just shows that he's a complete scumbag.

  5429. I'm so happy I found your channel. I supported Corbyn's bid for leadership from the very start, and he's actually what finally got me into party politics. The new manifesto gave me and my friends so much genuine hope so we were all very positive. However as time dragged on I began to lose that hope, especially due to living with far right parents who constantly went on about the impending failure of the labour party. The only thing we had left were the polls, which seemed too good to be true. I even went to bed early on election night because I was scared to face the results. It wasn't so much a lack of faith in the policies, but more of a fear that most of the public were too easily swayed by the tabloids and the BBC bias (something I watched within my own family, years of daily mail and nothing BUT the daily mail turned them into reactionaries). Anyway waking up to that result was a huge relief and a sign that things are changing. I feel like now that we've been given this small, strange victory there's no going back and we've been boosted with new momentum :)

  5473. As someone who lives in Quebec, Mr Singh is so damn right about the bloc in that clip. The bloc exists only as an opposition party, by nature it can't ever form a government, so the whole mission of the party is to represent the interests of quebec as an opposition party, and win concessions for quebecers. When the party made a resurgence a couple elections ago I was hopeful like everyone else, because they seemed more left leaning and they spoke like they had real objectives to accomplish. But all they've done since then is obstruct parliament and refuse to cooperate with anyone, which is a complete failure on their mandate to get concessions for Quebec. What's the point of being represented by an opposition party if they never get anything passed? And worse, right now it seems like the bloc is thriving on making federal politics dysfunctional, so more quebecers lose faith in federalism, rather than actually getting anything done.

I must be frank and tell you that you saying, "if Bernie would have done this, he would/may have won" totally dismisses the fact that Hillary frikken stole, rigged the election process. She cheated!!!!! So this makes your argument in that statement - obsolete. This election fraud issue must never EVER be overlooked. She undermined our election process and crapped on our Democracy!

You really think Nazis need what he or any other black says to feel justified? You think a black person agreeing or disagreeing with them TRULY affects their opinion? You think they really weren't sure whether or not to be RACIST until Kanye or another black person VALIDATED it for them? Please. Kanye is a loud mouthed idiot at times. Been that way over a decade now. This comment he made is annoying as hell, but he won't increase RACISM with it.

  5532. Thanks you. We need rational voices on so many matters, especially on the issue of Israeli apartheid. The Jewish Israeli government is conducting a mass scale killing of the Palestinian people. I cannot accept American hypocrisy to overlook this - we support Ukraine but also support Palestinian obliteration and apartheid. To make no distinction between Palestinian civilians and Hamas is sick. For the West to only further support Israeli policies and make Israel the sole victim when Palestinians FIGHT BACK after repeated provocation/attacks from Israel is sick. The West is more than complicit in a slow-brewing genocide.

  5555. David, I love your channel, but I was a little disappointed with the way you portrayed many progressives' beef with Warren. I definitely take issue with her not being more bold when it comes to endorsing Bernie, being honest about the primary rigging, opposing DAPL, etc.Ā  But for me, it goes well beyond that to some of her policies. Take two recent examples: she voted for the historic increase in the military budget and to increase sanctions on Russia, Iran, and North Korea!

  5572. It's surprising how many people believe CNN or MSNBC is "progressive" or "liberal" or "left leaning". They are not as far right as FAUX news, but at best, they are just right of center as they are very much corporatists.

  5573. Do I list in the description of my channel that I cover issues dealing with South Africa? No. But Rubin puts in his description and angles himself as this leader of 'free speech' issues. So your analogy is broken. Rubin is a fraud and you just helped me prove it, thank you.
