Cenk, I love TYT, but I’m with my man Schiff on this one.

“That system is broken, and you know it” was all the Young Turk could muster.
I love Peter Schiff’s arguments on The Depression. He totally owns TYT. I can’t understand that the TYT invites Schiff on for an interview. Even these zealots should be able to see that they would be owned by Schiff.
Schiff 1, TYT 0
@ralphinator2 I’m …
@ralphinator2 I’m sure Peter is well aware of what is going on all over the world. He can’t go out in public like Alex Jones does per say without being even more criticized than he has already been for the past few years.He warns of this country’s imminent failure &gives great financial advise on how to prosper during the oncoming financial collapse of America.Peter was Ron Paul’s financial adviser during his campaign & he is on the most honest people you’ll ever meet.You may learn a thing or 2.
@dardonZ Wait a …
@dardonZ Wait a minute – you began this by calling me an idiot. You set the tone. If you want to tone it down now, that’s fine. I take back the harsh comments. I don’t know how you feel about this guy Cenk, but he was arrogant to Schiff and he made some false statements. There are MANY historians that show that what is currently taught is totally inaccurate. Read Schiff’s books. Also read Economics In One Lesson by Henry Hazlitt and Meltdown by Tom Woods.
Mark this interview …
Mark this interview for Peter Schiff was Right, Part II.
It seems like this host makes the same mistake that most others make – they all seem to mistakenly believe that crony capitalism is “free market”. In a true free market, you wouldn’t have government subsidizing failure by bailing out politically connected banks and car companies.
If the government has to back your home loan, then you can’t afford a house. If you can’t throw down a 20% down payment, get an apartment.
Someone needs to …
Someone needs to explain to Cenk that if depositors were not insured, they would save their money in safe banks. That’s what “market regulation” means: bankers can only take as much risk as their depositors can stomach.
@serfdomthwart …
@serfdomthwart weird, I would swear I heard Peter saying ‘You’re right” to Cenk..
The host of TYT, …
The host of TYT, Cenk, is a graduate of Columbia Law School. I was surprised by this given his mediocre debate style and skills. He neglects Schiff’s argument and instead makes accusations about him being disingenuous.
It is very clear that economics is not the host’s specialty. You need to polish up your debating skills and knowledge of economics and finance if you’re going to debate Peter Schiff, who predicted the recent collapse with surprising accuracy.
Cenk, why are you …
Cenk, why are you so shocked that the banks went and acted the way they did? “If the gov’t is going to buy your bad mortgages, you’d be an idiot not to sell.” Now THAT is classic Peter Schiff, and he just ran economic circles around you.
@spol07 You’re …
@spol07 You’re right, tighter regulations AND splitting up the big banks will solve the problem.
I think Peter …
I think Peter should go on the Daily Show again to get some liberal support.
Cenk’s performance …
Cenk’s performance here sucked for yet another reason.
Schiff’s father is in jail for fighting with the IRS, he is a political prisoner in the US due to his views. Schiff is not interested in going his father’s route, he is going about it in a smart way – get into the system and fight it from within. Fighting the system from outside does not work, the system crashes outsiders.
This is the interview that COULD have been.

This should have been a one hour interview!
MOOOREEEE Please!

Sorry Cenk but you’re out of your league on this one. Schiff was laughed at by ht
Longtime TYT …
Longtime TYT listener & Schiff lover here. Cenk wasn’t understanding that they agreed on most of the issues, but the difference is that Peter wants to get to the ROOT of the cause, while Cenk wants to put band-aids on it with more regulations. We really need a voice like Peter in the senate to balance out the corporatists and be a stabilizing voice. There were way too many times that Cenk would start to accuse Peter of something and Peter would have to jump in and say “No no, I agree with you.”

It’s almost like I’m watching the Daily Show with this interview. Good job Schiff.
@jsyc07 Right, so …
@jsyc07 Right, so your trying to help me with a load of assumptions and personal attacks about me. That often mixes well when you try to help people.
I might look back and see my first reply as harsh if I didn’t have to experience how much of an you are.
Now if I said a bunch of nice things after that would it help all that much? Don’t think so.. Maybe you could go smoke some pot to relax, if you do.. After all I don’t know.
@dardonZ Honestly, …
@dardonZ Honestly, you sound like a 17 year kid who smokes too much weed, plays too many video games and has never read an informative book. Actually, you began by personally attacking me over my comment so does that make you a loser? Anyway, I am suggesting you read Schiff’s books to help you become informed. It doesn’t effect me at all if you don’t. Or, you can choose to stay ignorant just like your boy Cenk if you wish.
I wouldn’t call …
I wouldn’t call this a debate so much as an economics lesson. Cenk should learn to be more gracious in his ignorance and to listen to people who understand the problem at a far deeper level than he does.
@boiiinng He was on …
@boiiinng He was on every show he could get on, warning the public and he was LAUGHED at all the time. Then of-course, after everything happened how he explained it, people came out with ‘Peter Schiff Was Right’ videos. A LOT of them.
@BusinessIDBAI …
@BusinessIDBAI Maybe that’s what Cenk should have ASKED Schiff instead of laughing at him through the entire thing.
Laughing at Schiff …
Laughing at Schiff when talking about how regulations hurt small business (and though Schiff’s fund works with 2 billion dollars, in financial market that’s small business).
Cenk, if tomorrow your little TYT had to comply with the same regulations, with the same union rules, everything that a large corporation, like CNN has to, you’d be out of business in a hurry.
Same point: Who can enter the business of hedge funds/banks/trading today?
Nobody small due to barriers of entry by regulations
