  1. Because the political left has become too extreme and it drove people away.

  2.  @krazykris9396  ,no, and neither does Kyle. That is the point. Looking at nurses and physicians, who are on the bottom of the totem pole in terms of skill set in healthcare, is not an argument. That is similar to the high school history teacher loving teacher unions as they can keep their job when special ed and STEM teachers don't have to worry about a job as they are more skilled.

  3.  @krazykris9396  , saying "healthcare professional" is vague. What field do they work in? There are many fields in healthcare. The poll was of around 2000 adults of nurses, physicians, and administration. How many were actually physicians? And in what? There is so much being left out. Again, why do you have double standards? You support Kyle with his vague arguments with little evidence, but not mine. Tell me, why do you have double standards?

  4.  Trump 2020  , you are right in many ways. While I feel there is a portion of students who were mislead about what college is and pulled out too much in debt, in reality a lot were not responsible. Warren's idea, and same with Bernie, will give away free college to some (those who have a loan) and the ones who paid off their loan get nothing. It is catering to failure. Rewarding failure is not how we grow a society.

  5. He did not BS this question. You have to take each situation case by case and discuss with other people involved. That is how intellectuals think. They don't think in absolutes.

  6. Kyle hardly debates anyone, how can you say he is the best of the left.

  7. We do want to protect kids. You can do that while keeping your rights.

  8. "literally not a single person has given me a serious answer, and this is a left leaning channel lol." It is a dying channel being overran by trolls lately to be honest. People are no longer buying the ultra left narrative. This channel and TYT are dying. Not surprised you are not getting a serious answer.

  10. People are smarter than you think. This woman is a nut and people do not want her radical ideas. Also, pushing to end coal in WV is not going to win you anything.

  11. Uh, there is a law being pushed in CA to ban guns. Also, we have laws on the books. You say "reasonable", what does that mean? There are many wanting to ban the AR 15 when this shooting had as shotgun and a revolver and 10 people died. Are you going to push to ban those?

  12. Richard, it is pure politics. NY is a left leaning state that is for more gun laws. It is to make him look better.

  13. " First you raise taxes only on the very rich, demonstrate that this has positive effects for the country, then push more progressive taxes, show the positive effects, etc. It has to be a gradual change" I see that as eventually full government take over of the market. You may call it gradual but eventually everyone will be paying 50% or more. I regards to Denmark they are not any better than the US. I don't see why people are so quick to model them.

  14. He does

  15. Kyle is not smarter than Shapiro, not even close. There is a reason why Kyle refuses to debate Shapiro and why Kyle never debunked anything Shapiro has said.

  16. Shark Wave, there is way more to the economy than just the min. wage. Hong Kong has no min. wage and they are doing well with low unemployment.

  17. What pandemic?

  18. Really? Under Trump the nation was improving. So much so that the left had to enforce lock downs and shut down the economy, along with censoring people making Americans suffer.

  19.  @cuntycat2397  how many of those 80% live paycheck to paycheck because of poor money management? Over 70% of lottery winners go bankrupt. Over half of NBA athletes go bankrupt.

  20. Most are. They want this type of action. Leave this issue to the local government and private sector. Keep the federal government out of it as it only creates more problems.

  21.  Al Egator  when a right wing group took over an empty federal building the left freaked out. Here these people destroyed property and made threats on people and the left is quiet

  22. @73151cb based on the amount of destruction I will say most want to destroy things. And the violence was happening prior to the agents arriving. And local officials won't stop it because they are being told not to by the mayor who supports the rioters.

  24. "When it comes to money, the quid pro quo argument has always been a red herring" It hasn't because that is what makes it illegal. " Beyond a certain amount, money is virtually a guarantee the biggest donors will get what they want. " Yes, but you have to prove that is the direct cause of it. Even if someone donates a lot of money to someone there is no guarantee they will win. "You can’t seriously expect politicians to rake in millions in campaign contributions only to turn around and betray their donors. " I agree, but there is no guarantee that they won't. "O’Donnell was more than likely being tongue-in-cheek about the offer. She is, after all, a comedian. Albeit, not a very good one." I agree on both points which is why there is not going to be an investigation and/or arrest.

  25. "ok jackass I’m not granting human life to sperm or semen or a fertilized egg, pro lifers usually are." Sure, but they are a very minute group of people. "More and more MrPink you demonstrate more and more that you care about being right instead of actually being right." No, I care about challenging people. On abortion I really don't care. I am presenting counter arguments here. For you all I want you to do is simply read a court case. Educates yourself, become informed of the world around you. I am not even saying I agree with Shapiro on his abortion stance, I am presenting that side of the argument. I never say I have all the answers as I don't. I just want people on this channel to read up on the issues more.

  27. It has been around for over 4 billion years. And based on this report the climate was changing long before man was on earth.

  28. The rise came because of how radical the left has become. In the last election you had Clinton who just hung out with her buddies and Bernie who had no desire to listen to the other side.

  29. Algie, your argument is poor. Someone earning $5 million a year has a completely different financial situation than someone earning $30,000 a year. That person earning $5 million probably runs charities, a business and invests in it, is paid with stock options and so on. They probably have their money tied in stocks or in the banks which is money used to invest in other businesses and programs. Will that rich person suffer if you took that money from them? To a degree they will. But what will suffer more is the overall economy. If you take that money from them and say it was tied into stocks attached to healthcare now healthcare companies have to find other methods to obtain money which means either raising prices even more or lowering quality.

  30. No it isn't. They took the risk and died. Was the situation in Mexico really that bad?

  31. For the most part those who struggle are because of their own doing.

  32. Why? Congress has a lot of power.

  34. Actions speak louder than words. Bernie does not want any of those things.

  35. You don't have to lie about the GND, it speaks for itself. It is a joke. That is why Kyle has no objective argument to support it and only says "there is a poll" but references no actual poll.

  36. They do. The problem is that most homeless people suffer through mental issues. The resources are not there to help them. And when I say resources I do not mean money, I mean doctors and healthcare professionals.

  37. I watched the video. To start, Shapiro is not wrong. Since WWII federal government spending went from 14% of GDP to 20%. Since 1960 defense spending went from 10% of GDP to around 3% of GDP. Government spending is going up and it is not due to military spending. As for Kyle's remark on us spending more than the next X countries combine. If you combine the GDP of those nations and look at defense spending in terms of percent it comes to around 2.5%. In the US we are around 3%. Sure we are still higher, but not by much. It makes sense that we spend more on defense then them combine as we have a much larger GDP. It is safe to assume we spend more on education as well compared to many of those nations combine. Kyle is being very deceptive here.

  38. What rhetoric of his was white supremacist? And what racists policies is he pushing for? Please give examples.

  39. Because it is those on the right that actually understand the issues and are not rioting.

  40. The Mother Flickers, point by point 1. On the furniture comparison he was not comparing universal healthcare to that, he is comparing healthcare to that. He is saying something factual, that healthcare is a commodity where someone has to provide it. Also, what is true is that healthcare is not a free market. There are many government restrictions that caused a monopoly that made it so prices have gone up. His comparison to furniture is that you can decide what type of furniture to buy and shop around which improves the quality and lowers the price. For example, I bought a cheap chair and it has lasted me over 5 years. It is comfortable as well. You can't do that with healthcare. Now yes there are some cases where it is life dependent and you can't shop around, but that is what insurance is for. That is a different discussion but you should be able to shop around for insurance. But many forms of healthcare you should be able to shop around for such as an x-ray for example. He made the comparison to LASIK that is not tied to insurance and has become cheaper and better over the years. His point was correct in that we lack a free market system in healthcare which drives up prices. I will post a video on that along with an article on how the government hurt the free market system. 2. I cannot comment on Israel so I will have to plea ignorance on that. I do not make comments on issues I have not looked into. 3. Money does equal speech. Unless there is quid pro quo there is nothing illegal. There are many ways to support a candidate. You can post signs up (which someone pays to print off), you can rally, you can go door to do, etc. That cost time and money. Some people donate money to a politician they support so they can pay to have signs made and do commercials. When people donated $27 to Bernie that was so he can pay for his campaign. There is no difference between that and someone posting a sign up. As he put it would Bernie rather have TYT give him $10,000 or dedicate an entire channel to kissing his ass? TYT supported Bernie by giving him free advertising. You can argue that when a company like Planned Parenthood gave money to Clinton it was so they can benefit, but there are a few points there. One, there was on guarantee she would have won so there is no guarantee they would have obtained something. Two, even if she did win there is no guarantee they would have obtained something. Three, when people gave Bernie $27 they were looking to benefit as well. So it goes both ways. Also, on TYT giving Bernie free advertising, many on the left, including Kyle, complained about Trump getting free advertising from the media. What does that mean? That means to campaign you need money to create and air commercials. That money is speech. I will post a video. 4. Some facts on spending. Since 1960 defense spending went from 10% of GDP to 3%. SS went from 2% of GDP to around 5%. Medicare went from 0% to 3%. We spend more on SS than we do in defense. Over the years defense has been getting cut while medicare and SS have been increasing. They are a bigger problem in the deficit. He is correct in saying that SS, medicare and medicaid are around 60% of the budget. He also never said "cut", he said "restructure". Now can you say that means cut? Sure, I will give you that. In all honesty it is much more complicated than that. But sure, let us say he meant cut. What he said isn't wrong. I will post you links on that. Here is your problem, you are not thinking critically. I am not saying Shapiro is correct. I am not saying that I completely agree with Shapiro. What I am saying is that he is a critical thinker and has legit points. And if you want to counter his arguments you have to understand his position and give a rebuttal with critical thought. You fail at doing that. You just reach for talking points that are easily torn apart. You scream "he wants to cut social security" without understanding the full picture. You scream "he supports money in politics" when you never address his side fairly. This is why Shapiro is growing and someone like Kyle has a dying channel.

  41. He isn't wrong. You have to come up with goals first and then policies to match it.

  43.  @justin5368  , people will follow Kyle no matter what. Kyle has a long history of poor reporting. This is not the first time. Maybe people will see Kyle for who he really is with this video.

  44. Trump did, the fact is that trans people have high rates of suicide. Those are people who are not psychologically stable enough for the military.

  47. Considering how Trump attacked CNN, it is safe to assume that CNN is just projecting right now.

  48. She is dumb.

  49. Good question. The CNN town hall debate was the complete opposite of that. People on the right are looking to engage in it to a degree. But right now the left isn't. This is why they are parading children as opposed to having an actual discussion. To me one of the reasons why Trump won is because we are not having intellectual discussions. There was a time in the 90s we did, but right now we aren't and it is disturbing.

  50. The two worse taxes, in my opinion, are the property tax and the payroll tax. The property tax is the government deciding how much your property is worth and than taxing you. It is taxing income that you don't have.
