It's funny, I'm totally conservative and a Trump Supporter and I disagree with a lot here. But first, Cenk is very charismatic and they both are critical thinkers and I appreciate that.
It's the whole reason I started watching them earlier this year. Whether or not I agree exactly, I very much appreciate that they are putting critical thought into their opinions and not just regurgitating rhetorical talking points.
About a year ago I was looking up reactions to Donald trump winning in 2016. That is when I found you guys. The algorithm started showing me more videos of you guys. Started to watch and was like these guys are so leftist. The more I watched the more I started to agree with some of the points you guys made, things I didn’t hear anywhere else. As an independent I love how you guys are not bias. I’m glad cenk is somewhat optimistic for trump’s term. My parents are hard core republicans but now are talking about how the health care system is terrible. No matter what trump ends up doing I’m glad more people are hearing and agreeing with some populist views. Go TYT
Ana is stumping for tariffs after citing the research data from the Biden Administration that they didn't cause significant inflation though she mentions the reason why is because the market adapted by moving goods through other countries besides China. By imposing tariffs on all imported goods from everywhere Ana is essentially advocating for inflation as high as 20% because she's either ignorant or out of touch with actual American consumers. Or maybe a bit of both.
Thank you for the insight. I do think target tariffs are an interesting thought. Prehaps it will bring about even greater change in China's calculus when it comes to other countries like the US
I really appreciate how you were fair and balanced as well as knowledgeable when talking about both Democrats and Republicans in this video. That is extremely rare, unfortunately. Every other channel seems to completely support one side and disparage everything that the other side does, regardless of what it is. You just earned yourself a new subscriber! 🎉
A little factoid that you might not know. In the name of globalism, both political parties designed a tax structure and regulatory framework that actively encouraged foreign investment in U.S. stocks and real estate. This shift has had profound consequences on wealth distribution in America. While the bottom 95% saw their share of stock and real estate ownership decline, the top 1% experienced exponential increases in value. Over the past few decades, your average take-home pay has decreased by over one-third. Meanwhile, during just the last four years (2020 to 2024), the total wealth of U.S. billionaires surged by nearly 88%, growing from $2.95 trillion to over $5.5 trillion. In 2023, U.S. companies paid a record $565 billion in dividends. Given that approximately 40% of U.S. corporate equities are owned by foreign investors, this translates to around $429,985 flowing overseas every minute via dividends paid to foreign-owned U.S. corporate equities.
lol I wouldn’t go that far he did basically say he just considered r*pe an inconvenience during an interview, a single good take doesn’t make him “super smart”
I can't believe this didn't come up more during the election, how Biden kept Trump's tariffs. I actually hadn't heard that on MSNBC. Maybe I just missed it.
Boy JD Vance seems way more comfortable and normal when he's sitting up there talking shop with the likes of Joe Kernen versus rubbing elbows with regular people in a donut shop.
When he said. "My position has changed" instantly became one of my boys, because he admits when he has had growth within his views and left the inconsistency behind
It is imperative to bear in mind that re-industrialization for the sake of reducing foreign dependencies will also bring a trend toward domestic sourcing and processing raw materials (e.g., mining) and the imperative need for stringent environmental regulation with enforcement powers. All well and good that batteries are produced here so long as watersheds are not contaminated with light and heavy metals, for instance.
Most American believe that trump had the best economy of all times, but TYT feels the necessity to make a video on how they agree with JD Vance. Nice work guys. Keep us educated.
I hate tariffs. You people need to investigate the Chinese EV market, it's mind boggling. We are so far behind. We'll be buried without even knowing it.
All politicians just say words. They don't show you actions when they say these words. All you have to go on is their history of action, be it for or against the things they say. Republicans, almost to the entirety of the group, have failed to do anything sensible related to what they say they will do. Democrats fail to do this too, but to a lesser degree, as they at least often put forth legislation that sounds reasonable to what they said even if it fails to pass. So between two parties that aren't very reliable, one is notably better than the other. Like 1% success rate with Republicans vs 40% success rate with Democrats. Not great numbers, but certainly distinguishable.
I dont know, tarriffs may have not caused inflation but it still raises retails. Speaking as a worker for a large retailer. A few years ago they raised tarriffs, vendors raised costs, we raised retails. 🤷
Tariffs on high tech items are a quite a bit different than tariffs on sneakers and car parts and 99% of whats sold at Walmart when it comes to working Americans wallets.
@bobby5678-ck2tc does white nationalism prevent corporate lobbyists from buying congressmen, senators, and presidents? Does it encourage manufacturing in the U.S. and collective bargaining?
@Yourdeadmeat69 it's okay, it doesn't have to be Trump. I want less lobbyists influence on elected officials, manufacturing in U.S. and collective barging.
Tariffs are a tax on Americans unless your plan is to put tariffs on products that are also produce domestically and you want to make the foreign made products more expensive and less desirable than their domestic competitor. Otherwise, the foreign manufacturer just tacks on the cost of the tariffs onto their products price to the consumer and we all pay for the tariffs, not the manufacturer.
Regardless of how horrible liberals think he is - if I have to have someone NEGOTIATE trade deals against other nations - I want Donald Trump. He's a tough SOB and will get us the best possible terms.
I can't speak to liberals that are a part of the Democratic party, but as a progressive, my problem with Trump is that he is not different than any other President. For over half a century now, it hasn't mattered what party was in the Oval, the house, the senate or judicial, the American workers have been knee capped and their lives have gotten worse with each passing administration, even after Trump's first term in office. The delusion that the country is where it is solely because of Biden is idiotic. Trump shut down that beautiful economy supporters talk about. Had Trump won the second term, he would have been in the same boat Biden was in at the beginning of 2020. That economy wouldn't have magically appeared again. Those checks they fawn about were only in their hands because the Democrats passed the resolution. The Republicans voted against it. Trump delayed those checks going out to make sure his signature was on them. He's a brilliant BS artist. The parties are two sides of the same coin. They answer to their donors. Trump said as much on the campaign trail and shockingly, no one batted an eye. We live in an Oligarchy now and we are in the second gilded age on steroids at that. To fix it, one can't keep voting the better of two evils into office and expect a different result. Trump is not the great savior everyone thinks he is. Obama wasn't either. All of it a delusion. They are running on a populist playbook and throwing it in the garbage the minute they hit the oval.
What the left doesn't get about Trump is everything is a negotiation. He takes an extreme position and the media flips a gasket and he's unpredictable, and it's all for position. He moves the overton window by taking a nutty position and then what would have seemed impossible suddenly is feasible. It is the art of the deal. It's just strategy.
Tariffs generally not good for the economy. There can be an exception if in this case China was subsidising the cost of manufacturing, an argument can be made for tariffs. It can also be done in retaliation for tariffs imposed by china on imports, but this can lead to further escalation.
Poor Anna, why would you believe anything that JD Vance said you know what Trump wants to do? What does it matter what the vice president wants to do? Stop carrying the Republicans water like they might do something right.
@jeffreyengland2960 In that case why did you make a vague comment? Taxes weren't the only subject here. Keeping jobs in the US was something Trump attempted to do through tariffs and punishing companies who shipped jobs offshore. Trump wasn't all bad. I don't see anything wrong with lowering corporate tax rates what's important is to close the loopholes and deductions. That's something no one ever does. We can say 5% or 75% and the the effective tax rate stays the same, or zero, or even negative. Kamala. Trump, Biden...it doesn't matter. They answer to donors and PACS.

The tariffs are like having to pay a membership fee to sell your products in the US if you pass the tariffs down to the consumers, the consumers will purchase American made products or product offered for cheaper
I feel like that is a very pro American worker position. That being said....I don't think Vance would actually do anything that would help American workers.
Most of the Chinese factory jobs are going to be replaced by AI and robotics within the next decade. Worrying about bringing those jobs back is kind of insane.
Vance is hateful and unprincipled to the core, but he is intelligent and knows how to explain nearly any issue to sound favorable to his programmed and paid position. Thank you both, Cenk and Ana, for being intelligent, nuanced, and HONEST with your independent coverage of these topics!
Whatever happens the politicians will ensure their corporate donors are taken care of and nothing will change for us normal folk. That’s the way it’s always been and the way it always will be.
Tariffs are complex and nuanced. It's depressing that people don't pay more attention. A simple rundown of trumps steel tariffs is a good example. The steel tax increased the price of steel in the US by 15% - that's good for the steel industry, because it was surviving by the skin of it's teeth. It's not great for US manufacturers making products with high steel content (like cars etc...) because their goods become less competitive and imports rise. So a better approach would be to place tariffs on imported finished goods with high steel content - except that a president can't do that, because it's not a national security issue.
I've tried Wegovy and Zepbound and I had massive GI problems because of it. My stomach would be hurting so badly that I couldn't stand up. And not like cramps, it was like stinging pain in my stomach
The Chinese government subsidizes certain industries with the goal to destroy those industries in other countries so yes you do have to put tariffs on certain things.
@@AJxxxxxxxx Good comment. I agree here. As a long time viewer of TYT, this was a gradual organic shift, and one I have witnessed and appreciated as an Independent.
i dunno i would think increased competition would benefit consumers. Some of those Chinese minivans are 🔥. Allowing competition might cause US companies to do better
You can't afford it. That's the problem. EVERYTHING you buy in the store is there at a price you can afford because somewhere down the chain there's a guy working for 2 dollars a day. (Or its subsidized) Why does Taiwan produce all the chips for the US? You think Google and Apple can't make their own factories? We need Taiwan to make those chips with Taiwanese salaries. You cannot have a chain of 10 people getting paid 15 dollars an hour, and not have the final product cost way more than most people can afford. We cannot afford western salaries for our production chains. You know what a serf is? It means a poor farmer, from like medieval times. A serf would have, maybe one suit, one jacket, a small house, a set of furniture, one acre of land, and maybe a cow or two. That was a poverty. Can you afford hand crafted furniture? A tailor made suit? Two cows? A HOUSE? We are DIRT poor, being cheap sold plastic junk to convince is we are better off than we used to be. It's a house of cards.
Was surprised to hear Cenk's view that he is more of a free-trade guy. Pleasantly so, since he articulated the nuance of that and the difficulties and challenges. Also appreciate the balanced view of the facts on tariffs and the similarities in the previous Trump administration and the Biden administration.
Comparative advantage is what is the challenge for western capitalism. Look it up. It's in the wealth of nations by Adam Smith the father of capitalism. He believed in free trade.
Thank you Cenk! I love your educated, fair and balanced commentary on international political and economic policy. Your years of education and background on both business and legal matters is insightful, interesting and informative. You always give me new perspective, reasonable and critical thoughts and views based on the truth. I come away from the show often learning something new and you relay it in a very relatable easy way to understand so I greatly appreciate that in your coverage. Been a member for a long time and stay tuned regularly. Thanks for the last twenty years plus!
I do not believe in free trade. Free markes yes. If you want to service a market you have to produce goods and services in that market. Import export are goods and or services that can't be produced in that market. This would eliminate cheap labor market incentives for companies and put back competition in the market served. Driving down cost in that market.
One of the big differences between the US and Chinese companies is US companies pay a lot for healthcare for their employees. The Chinese government pays for Chinese employees healthcare. That makes it hard for US companies to compete. We need universal health care, Medicare for all in the US and we wouldn't need tarriffs.
I would like to correct something. Chinese does not pay health care for every citizen for example there are those in the rural economy that do not have healthcare because they move so often they do not have a permanent place of address.
He has explained his reasons for changing his opinion of Trump many times - you can find out what he's said with a simple Google search. That's more than anyone can say for Kamala, who hasn't explained the reasoning behind a single one of her policy flip-flops.
Think Kamala is talking about the steel & aluminum tariffs the were a disaster and caused massive job loss and tariffs to be placed on our agricultural exports, resulting in farm foreclosures and sales, which were repealed
lol just because she doesn't blindly follow theft doesn't mean she is spinless, the establishment left has thing they need to improve on, to earn swing votes
The real problem with manufacturing in the US (we absolutely do need manufacturing back in the US) , the problem is it will not increase jobs for americans (to a statistically significant degree). The reason is that manufacturing is automated by machines. Electronic manufacturing now does not even require a human being at all in the manufacturing process (a complete humanless production). And now with AI (via LLMs) and robots (Figure1, Tesla, Boston Dynamics), now even more people are no longer needed in the plant.
Not really true yet. Even Tesla run by Elon who has every selfish/greedy reason to replace workers can't manage that feat. More likely white collar jobs will be replaced with AI software before blue collar jobs get replaced by robots. Of course both are still workers and need protection.
They are now getting paid by Trump campaign to pretend they are against Trump while pretending to support Harris. They talk about Trump 10x more than Harris. Trump's face is on every video Thumbnail. It's always about the money isn't? Greed does not discriminate. Booooo TYT.
The sad part about us is stuff being made in the US these items usally cost more and people are pissed about prices right now😂. example is When a tv cost 400 made in china and a tv with the same specs made in yhe us would cost 200 or 300 more then yhe one made in china

Ana needs to be able to seperate what right wingers say and right wingers do...., she already does it with democrats... But every time she promotes JD Vance it's always because of his words. And frankly I'm tierd of her double standard... Go make money on fox news I'm sure that this grift will appeal to fox viewrs
Right, why does she suddenly believe what they say she knows they lie and have been lying forever how is she suddenly this naive?
@@Kokomole she turned hating Democrats her main focus.... Sad thing is it doesn't matter what her politics are if all she ever does is criticize the left.
@@Kalandrian I think she’s always criticised Dems, they all have and they have also criticised republicans they do both on here. What’s different is her supporting republicans, and weirdly admiring them, that’s new.
@@Kokomole look I'm no fan of the Democrats but I can clearly see a difference between the Democrats and Republicans.and she will weirdly defend Republican talking points while railing on Dems for the same things. About a year ago she said she was leaving the left, recently she said she wasn't a leftist. And most of her attacks are leveled at Dems and protecting republicans the effect is you are projecting support for republicans... If she was defending voters that would be one thing but she is protecting politicians that's not someone who has my best interests at heart. Of course TYT has always gone after Democrats, but it so out of balance with Ana anymore.. defending JD Vance? Defending Trump because Project 2025 wasn't written by his own hand.... That's a bridge too far in my book.
@@Kalandrian I think it's a weird phase of hers rn. She said recently she doesn't know her political stance, mainly because of left extremists, which..really, you're feeling wary due to extremists? Wait it out ig.
The tariffs are like having to pay a membership fee to sell your products in the US if you pass the tariffs down to the consumers, the consumers will purchase American made products or product offered for cheaper
Wait! Is Anna pro Trump now?
Of course not. They forget Elon Musk has Chinese loans and factories in China. He's also been invited by the Chinese lawmakers more than once.
Always have been
Would you kill your mother if Trump told you not to?
Vance will make a fine Vice President!
I feel like that is a very pro American worker position. That being said....I don't think Vance would actually do anything that would help American workers.
Great fiery piece!
Strange times huh 😅😅😅
TYT really needs a foreign policy expert. The issue with China isn’t really tariffs, it’s subsidies.
It's both
GE made 7 Billion and paid 0 tax and got 423 million rebate.
They aren’t even paying their minimum rate.
But what would happen if they removed the Tariffs? At a point where the economy was o. The verge of collapse
Most of the Chinese factory jobs are going to be replaced by AI and robotics within the next decade. Worrying about bringing those jobs back is kind of insane.
Somebody’s lying 🤣🤣
Kernan looking at his holdings
Vance is hateful and unprincipled to the core, but he is intelligent and knows how to explain nearly any issue to sound favorable to his programmed and paid position. Thank you both, Cenk and Ana, for being intelligent, nuanced, and HONEST with your independent coverage of these topics!
U know nothing about vance , go watch eric weinstein's interview with Chris Williams and he would tell you 😂
Yeah, the guy who went to Yale and has a wife and kids and goes to church every Sunday is totally unprincipled 🤡
I disagree. He does an absolutely terrible job at those things.
I wish people discussed it with the same nuance he did that it isn’t all or nothing with these policies.
Whatever happens the politicians will ensure their corporate donors are taken care of and nothing will change for us normal folk. That’s the way it’s always been and the way it always will be.
That's how is ment to be. And is working great. People divided on half, fighting each other while leaders and corporations enjoying in money.
I actually said this when DT gave all of them tax breaks, only give breaks to those who manufacture here.
Tariffs are complex and nuanced. It's depressing that people don't pay more attention.
A simple rundown of trumps steel tariffs is a good example. The steel tax increased the price of steel in the US by 15% - that's good for the steel industry, because it was surviving by the skin of it's teeth. It's not great for US manufacturers making products with high steel content (like cars etc...) because their goods become less competitive and imports rise. So a better approach would be to place tariffs on imported finished goods with high steel content - except that a president can't do that, because it's not a national security issue.
automation is the aim for manufacturing
Friendshoring is the way
Sorry Czenk, but you're wrong brother. I am an Economics Student from India and I can tell you why you're wrong.
Can you tell him why he’s wrong instead of just saying it lol
Good analysis, Chenk.
Oh, this is a chenk segment? Thx for letting me know so I can skip it before I get invested
I've tried Wegovy and Zepbound and I had massive GI problems because of it. My stomach would be hurting so badly that I couldn't stand up. And not like cramps, it was like stinging pain in my stomach
The Chinese government subsidizes certain industries with the goal to destroy those industries in other countries so yes you do have to put tariffs on certain things.
The decussion is in an article labeled How Washington Learned to Stop Worrying and Embrace Protectionism.
it's crazy how tyt has actually started to adopt common sense
They are trying to stay relevant and save their careers.
@@danieldenton5721
Don’t be smug about bro, the more liberals we could convert the better, that means more conservatives votes
@@AJxxxxxxxx Good comment. I agree here. As a long time viewer of TYT, this was a gradual organic shift, and one I have witnessed and appreciated as an Independent.
Kissing the ring of a felon is not common sense.
Anna praising another Republican. What a shocker. He doesn't mean anything he says. Anna is the next Dave Ruben.
i dunno i would think increased competition would benefit consumers. Some of those Chinese minivans are 🔥. Allowing competition might cause US companies to do better
They look good cosmetically but are trash
You can't afford it.
That's the problem. EVERYTHING you buy in the store is there at a price you can afford because somewhere down the chain there's a guy working for 2 dollars a day. (Or its subsidized)
Why does Taiwan produce all the chips for the US? You think Google and Apple can't make their own factories?
We need Taiwan to make those chips with Taiwanese salaries.
You cannot have a chain of 10 people getting paid 15 dollars an hour, and not have the final product cost way more than most people can afford. We cannot afford western salaries for our production chains.
You know what a serf is? It means a poor farmer, from like medieval times.
A serf would have, maybe one suit, one jacket, a small house, a set of furniture, one acre of land, and maybe a cow or two. That was a poverty.
Can you afford hand crafted furniture? A tailor made suit? Two cows? A HOUSE?
We are DIRT poor, being cheap sold plastic junk to convince is we are better off than we used to be. It's a house of cards.
Was surprised to hear Cenk's view that he is more of a free-trade guy. Pleasantly so, since he articulated the nuance of that and the difficulties and challenges. Also appreciate the balanced view of the facts on tariffs and the similarities in the previous Trump administration and the Biden administration.
Comparative advantage is what is the challenge for western capitalism. Look it up. It's in the wealth of nations by Adam Smith the father of capitalism.
He believed in free trade.
Thank you Cenk! I love your educated, fair and balanced commentary on international political and economic policy. Your years of education and background on both business and legal matters is insightful, interesting and informative. You always give me new perspective, reasonable and critical thoughts and views based on the truth. I come away from the show often learning something new and you relay it in a very relatable easy way to understand so I greatly appreciate that in your coverage. Been a member for a long time and stay tuned regularly. Thanks for the last twenty years plus!
Omg the grift
Lol if you think this a grift, you might need to pay more attention to the words being said. You want to be lied to, obviously.
I do not believe in free trade. Free markes yes. If you want to service a market you have to produce goods and services in that market. Import export are goods and or services that can't be produced in that market. This would eliminate cheap labor market incentives for companies and put back competition in the market served. Driving down cost in that market.
One of the big differences between the US and Chinese companies is US companies pay a lot for healthcare for their employees. The Chinese government pays for Chinese employees healthcare. That makes it hard for US companies to compete. We need universal health care, Medicare for all in the US and we wouldn't need tarriffs.
I would like to correct something. Chinese does not pay health care for every citizen for example there are those in the rural economy that do not have healthcare because they move so often they do not have a permanent place of address.
@@clipbitlocker the Chinese employees who work for Chinese auto makers have their healthcare paid for by the Chinese government
15% corporate tax = 0% corporate taxes with all the writeoffs
Is there any information available as to the pledge followers have to take
Thank You "Jake" !!!
Question for JD why are you the VP candidate for someone you think is like Hitler?
He has explained his reasons for changing his opinion of Trump many times - you can find out what he's said with a simple Google search. That's more than anyone can say for Kamala, who hasn't explained the reasoning behind a single one of her policy flip-flops.
@@jasonmolgren-vn9od are you taking the piss? He said Trump was like HITLER!
Think Kamala is talking about the steel & aluminum tariffs the were a disaster and caused massive job loss and tariffs to be placed on our agricultural exports, resulting in farm foreclosures and sales, which were repealed
That’s the problem you don’t know 😂😂.
Does Walz have any economic policies?
what was Pence's economic policy? That's what I thought... pucking rednecks man. GROW THE PHUCK UP!!!
Anna we know all we need to know about vance....FLIP FLOPPING SPINELESS HUMAN BEING. 😳
lol just because she doesn't blindly follow theft doesn't mean she is spinless, the establishment left has thing they need to improve on, to earn swing votes
Targeted Tariffs can protect US interests ... but simply putting a 20% Tariff on EVERYTHING is a Trump Sales Tax.
Why don't you pay my share of tariffs if you think they are such a good idea Ana? I can't afford products as it is.
What Trump saw and spoke about American dumb leaders since 1988. Is still hard for them to comprehend.
The real problem with manufacturing in the US (we absolutely do need manufacturing back in the US) , the problem is it will not increase jobs for americans (to a statistically significant degree). The reason is that manufacturing is automated by machines. Electronic manufacturing now does not even require a human being at all in the manufacturing process (a complete humanless production). And now with AI (via LLMs) and robots (Figure1, Tesla, Boston Dynamics), now even more people are no longer needed in the plant.
Not really true yet. Even Tesla run by Elon who has every selfish/greedy reason to replace workers can't manage that feat. More likely white collar jobs will be replaced with AI software before blue collar jobs get replaced by robots. Of course both are still workers and need protection.
Wait. This is TYT right???? I thought they were Communist, what happened?
They are now getting paid by Trump campaign to pretend they are against Trump while pretending to support Harris. They talk about Trump 10x more than Harris. Trump's face is on every video Thumbnail. It's always about the money isn't? Greed does not discriminate. Booooo TYT.
The sad part about us is stuff being made in the US these items usally cost more and people are pissed about prices right now😂. example is When a tv cost 400 made in china and a tv with the same specs made in yhe us would cost 200 or 300 more then yhe one made in china
That's not really a problem the locally made stuff is better quality. Sick and tired of cheap lousy made in China junk we get here.
We can tax corporations 100% in taxes what does it matter if theres loopholes to pay $0 in taxes
There are only global corporations, like Google and Starbucks and Meta, who pay no taxes in the countries in which they operate. F JD Vance.
Bro thinks Google doesn’t pay taxes 💀
I don’t care what’s good for the world. I care what’s good for America.
He supports tax cuts for couch manufacturers
He likes to give them a tip. Ahem…..
