Small point of information: both Ireland and the UK have recently had heads of state whose parents came from the Indian subcontinent, so, not only in America!
Not sure about Ireland but Rishi wasn’t voted in… he was explicitly REJECTED by his own party members and then got installed anyway. Also; he came from a rich ass family and married into one of the richest families in the world & now is richer than the King. So no great struggle there. Kamala didn’t have any of that.
Actually neither were heads of state. They were heads of government lol The president of Ireland and the King of Great Britain are the heads of state in those countries lol (and Rishi Sunak's parents actually immigrated from East Africa, though of Indian descent). The former First Minister of Scotland was also of Pakisitani descent
Good rant at 25:00 Ana stating the truth on Palestine and ruining Cenk's hard on for Kamala. I agree with you it ruined the speech and is so disappointing. We had a glimmer of hope at the beginning with Kamala but it appears AIPAC got ahold of her. It will be a deal breaker for many who care about Palestine.
So help me understand. If she somehow goes out and says pretty all she could say without alienating one side or the other that’s horrible and she doesn’t deserve to be President? Trump can pretty say Palestine deserves to get bombed and not a peep. He looks like a strong man and get to be president again. Maybe I’m not understanding you correctly so maybe help me understand.
@@tristancarroll100 The president can't do anything about Gaza. It requires Congress to stop the funding. Stop trying to make it seem like she or Biden has the authority to unilaterally do anything about it. If any president tries to interfere with foreign aid they will get impeached. It happened to Trump when he tried to stop aid to Ukraine, and it will happen to whoever tries doing it again. It's disappointing to see so many who don't understand how the government works. People take such strong positions about issues that they have little to no idea about.
@@cassowary415 you are just asking for the usa to completely change their involvement in the middle east.... I agree, but it's not a small ask. Even if Harris wants to change this for the better it would take time.
My question to Cenk & Ana is, how can Kamala who is currently VP tell Biden her boss what to do? ... You blame Kamala for Biden's policies, who's to say she didn't object behind the scenes? ....How can Harris as a VP only force a cease fire, and oppose her boss publicly??
@@emilyturner5985 lol Kamala did not object to a ceasefire. She has repeatedly echoed Biden’s stance on Israel. Now that Biden has shown signs of dementia, He’s not in charge anymore which means he can be easily manipulated for the remainder of his term
@leqaf How do you know she hasn't? ...remember, she and Biden didn't see eye to on certain issues behind the scenes. No one ever said what those issues were! ...Not making excuses, genuinely asking the questions! Why are you so quick to blame without knowing all the facts?
I knew gay people who refused to vote Obama because he didn't immediately say he supported gay marriage, but it was legalized under his administration. Now today's idiots want to help Trump get power and allow Netanyahu to wipe Palestine off the map.
There's no evidence the Palestinians are involved in any coordinated military activities since October 7. None. What are the Gazan Civilians supposed to do? Sit and wait to be exterminated? You're being repulsive.
I love the grounded reality of this channel!!!! Retirement took a toll on my finances, but with involvement in the digital market, $450k weekly returns has been life changing. “Awesome God ❤️”
I don't get it. These few weeks have objetively gone better than anyone expected. And in the end Ana seemed even more angrier than when Biden was on charge.
Ana and Cenk, you guys must give this lady a chance, bashing in the same way you bashed Biden is not going to change anything, bear in mind what she averted if she wins, the fear that has gripped the whole country with the prospect of Trump return is unimaginable.
He’s acted as the de facto president to the House, Senate, & most of elected Republicans. They’ve asked him before doing anything. He’s told them what to do. He had a long talk this week with Netanyahu!! wtf? He’s talked to Putin. He’s talked to Orban. How isn’t all of that not treasonous?
I think she needs to get in the office first. Coming after Isreal too tough will lose the Jewish vote. She is fair. I believe she will do right by the Palestine people.
It was a night of words. What the hell was she going to do about the conflict in Gaza right then at that moment? She was giving a speech. To sit there and say she isn't going to do anything is unfair.

“If she wins, we must hold her accountable.” I distinctly recall being told this in 2020. You won’t have any leverage after you give your vote. I’m not buying that nonsense anymore.
The Bio introduction was excellent.. came from the heart and narrated naturally but emphasized the middle class upbringing with kindness and help of neighbors from different backgrounds and the bonding with the community that is the core of America. This was an excellent way to convey both.
Guys.. threats to stop voting is dumb. Push your own Dem candidate instead. Work for change within the party. Dont threaten and let the bigger evil prevail, just because you dont get exactly what you want. Such behaviour is Trumpish.
Ana’s relentless pessimism is exhausting at this point. She needs to be realistic. I know Kamala’s rhetoric on Gaza is not exactly what we want to hear. But if she says she is working to end the war I prefer that to OUR ONLY OTHER OPTION which is Trump who has no intention or desire to end the war. So should we go with the person who expressed sympathy for the Palestinians and is trying to end the war or with the person who does not even view the Palestinians as humans. To me and everyone with a brain the choice is obvious. And not everyone lives in California and has the luxury to just write in a candidate because their state is going to go Democrat anyway.
When I watch the five judge Jeanine and the rest of them (sans Tarlov) are over the top negative. When I watch msnbc Lawrence is ridiculously rah rah. Van Jones is nauseatingly rah rah for the Democrats. Ana is sickly negative bout her own side. I like Jessica Tarlov, Greg Gutfield can at lest be funny occasionally, Ari Melber is amazing, and I like Cenk. And the black guy on TYT is great. Ana ruins this show
@@terrywalker2437 you don’t have to be a Democrat to vote for sensible people. I am registered. Independent. I am voting for Harris/Walz. I am 100% certain they are better than the alternative.
Cenk, I love you my friend. I always listen to you and appreciate what you have to say. But, Cenk- I think (my opinion) that Kamala Harris' speech was GREAT!!!!!! She hit it out the ball park!!!!!! Me and my family will be voting for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz and DEMOCRACY!!!!!!
Ana, if you have all the answers and think it's easy, then why don't you put your money where your mouth is and run for office. You certainly seem angry and frustrated enough to want to go out and be the change that you expect others should easily be able to deliver. I'd be really curious to see how you make out.
We see that we have good leader in Kamala, but to help her achieve her great plans for America, we have to vote blue 💙💙💙 in both the Senate and House of Representatives. .
I think the Gaza questions is an extremely sharp edge to balance on. Yes there is a huge number of voters that wants a change. But there is an opposite huge number of voters that opposes that change, and Harris has to pander to both sides. Harris at least speaks about change. We will have to wait until after the election to see where her heart truly is on this matter.
As a New Zealander let me say Israel is your blind spot..you've backed yourself into a corner on that. But at least Harris is sticking up for Palestinian rights...credit for that at least
She is most certainly NOT sticking up for Palestinians. It’s just words. Even her words made no sense and were contradictory. Just words, like it always is. Democrats are pathetic and will never get my vote again until something truly changes
What the heck ever happened to doing an interview or a debate? Scheduled debates are an integral part of democracy and are inherently important to getting to know what a candidate believes in, stands for, and promises to accomplish. Kamala has done ZERO of these and in fact has avoided them vigorously. How can you vote for someone when they are incapable and absent from participating in such fundamentals of the democratic process?
So you listen to Trump saying “you can’t cross the street for a loaf of bread without getting shot”, and that “immigrants are taking actually more than 100% of our jobs” and that’s your guy?
@@vintagesportscardfinds964 First of all, I wasn't just speaking about Kamala. Debates and interviews are important and I would love to see any candidate debate...especially if they were allowed on the ballot (RFK Jr.) as anyone who is running for the position of President should. Since you brought it up...Trump has done way more interviews, press conferences, etc. than Kamala and she is in hiding. It's pathetic.
Ana your outrage is misplaced. She certainly can’t open up the discussion of cutting off funding to Israel now. That would have derailed all of the work because the country is so divided on that issue.
I’m always blown away by how she doesn’t understand politics. If Harris says she’s cutting off funding there won’t be a ceasefire tomorrow, Israel will simply hold out for Trump because she will be essentially handing him the election. Yes it’s an atrocity and needs to stop immediately, but her hands are tied for the next 75 days.
Ana is annoying…. What has she done or plans to do. I will NEVER pretend to know what it’s like to run for office and definitely not be VP of the US, and run for President. All I know is I work in Higher Ed (for 28 years), and finally got to a lower middle management position and the level of how you can’t just make changes there’s lot of compromises and accepting decisions out of your control. Ana doesn’t get it being able to just talk about her opinions and not actually be an elected official. Keep living Ana and don’t you ever tell me how I feel about Obama, and how I will vote next time. Unless you know something about te US never having a 2 party system. Grow up the both of you two. I will never vote republican.

Respectfully Cenk, i don't think the whole World views the US as the greatest country in the world. To be fair, as a child growing up in West-Germany i really did belive in the American dream. As i grew up i learned that this dream was never real, i was just the carrot the capitalists dangle in front of the american public. Today i view the US as a cautionary tale about the deeply flawed capitalist system and about what happens if bad faith actors remove nearly all the guard rails. We can see the downfall of an empire in real time, very sad but maybe just maybe, we as a species can learn something from it.
As a british guy, I do not view the US as the greatest. It is the most powerful and therefore influencial, which is the only reason i pay attention to their politics. I have been a resident of Japan for 25 years and I would never swap it for living in the US. Greed, overly competitive, money-driven, faux religious righteousness, and violence - no thank you. i view the US as a paradise lost. trump would seek out that paradise and then destroy it.
None of us voters are not perfect either. Kamala at least lived the life we did and didn’t forget where she came from. She explained herself well and was personal enough to believe in her.
What are you talking about Ana? All you did is criticize Biden for keeping Trump's policies in place other than kids in cages and now you're saying he should have done more? Even before Trump tanked the border bill you were criticizing Dems for caving to Republicans and giving them everything they wanted. No matter which way it goes you criticize it, even when it's 100% on Trump This trying to ingratiate yourself to the Right Wing has gotten sickening
I’m a republican and it’s sad to see her always hating on the dems. What she said the other day about AOC was horrible! She’s not being honest with her viewers at all. I love VP Harris and her speech was amazing!
@@ChristIsKing_If you feel that way thx. The criticism was unwarranted. Was "working tirelessly" political hyperbole? I'm sure, these are conventions. To do an entire segment on a nothing story like that? Yes it's following a trend latey to get more Right-wing views
The American dream is the American Nightmare for far too many Americans, whose lives are blighted by poverty, ill health, homelessness and a lack of education. If there is that dream then it needs to speak for the poor. Few in Washington do that.
Which ones pleaae go into detail ur the first person ive seen that knows of these democratoc policies what are they dont keep all this knowledge to youraelf please share with the rest of us
I'm happy for the USA that kamala has a chance and overall excellent analysis. A bit over the top with US centric stuff about the "only in America Democracy" stuff, there's a more than a few democracies that are healthier and with as much opportunity as America
Why do otherwise reasonable Americans have to declare that the USA is the one and only country where opportunity and democracy exist or where even the children of migrants can achieve the highest office? It is so patently untrue and it makes Americans sound so ignorant and insular.
There are a LOT of GREAT things about her speech and all the others that spoke this week. We have a few wild cards... WILL the Democrats take the House and Keep the Senate... She can talk all she wants about her ideas... But it really has to be a Congress owned by Democrats to drive policies forward... The GOP Congress is AWFUL. Plus.. Who does she put in charge of certain roles within the Government. There's a lot of questions, but she's got my vote for sure.
@TYT While I appreciate your effort, there are times for a breakdown analysis and then there are times to appreciate the moment. Be grateful we have a viable opportunity to save democracy. Be grateful for the great candidate in front of us.
I hate to break it to you guys - The Gaza issue is not that important in America. The effort she and Joe are the most you’re going to get, especially in an election year.
They would get more votes. It would make Kamala a stronger candidate. According to a February 2024 ISPU poll, the majority of American Muslim, Catholic, Protestant (including Evangelicals), and non-affiliated Americans “favor a permanent ceasefire” in Gaza. Interestingly, the researchers found that the majority of Republicans in the general public “also favor a ceasefire” and although just shy of a majority; the American Jewish community are also more likely to favor a ceasefire (50%) rather than oppose one (34%).
I think that too. It's like. Until the Palestinians take action and deal with Hamas, the Hamas will keep attacking Israel and Israel will keep getting a reason to continue their Genocide which is what they want.
@@avtircaritas8229Of course people favor a ceasefire. Just because that is highly supported, it doesn’t mean when Americans go to vote it is a top priority. Also, you can’t have a ceasefire unless Hamas wants a ceasefire
@@subdulous4ever the dems obviously aren’t a cult. They pushed out their own president, something the republicans never would do. How many of these ppl hate Trump but then have to praise him all because of the base?
Ana, Cenk, the speech by Democratic POTUS Nominee Harris was outstanding. Ana, I feel your pain for the Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank, especially Gaza. However, I will reserve judgment until Harris becomes POTUS. Only then, with her Secretary of State in action, will I begin evaluating her efforts. Ana and Cenk you two need to listen to that Gaza Part of the speech again. Because Kamala mentioned Gaza’s Palestinians last and with great passion, in that particular section of the speech that tells me a whole lot. A POTUS Harris will be very different. She will lead with a two-equal-State mindset between Israel & Gaza. Help is on the way. I will continue to advocate for Harris to take a completely different approach with Netanyahu and the IDF, particularly item 5 (below). 1. Offer only defensive weapons. 2. Provide no more cash. 3. Offer coupons to pay defense contractors for their weapons. 4. Ensure that no U.S. weapons or any other offensive means are used against defenseless civilian Palestinians. 5. Immediately deploy the Corps of Engineers to begin planning Gaza’s infrastructure reconstruction. This reconstruction must include a solar field, U.S.-sponsored electric vehicle public transportation, a water filtration plant, and gardening greenhouses.
To be fair. If she came out and said she would cut the funding, a lot of folks we need will not vote for her. She never said she wouldn't do anything. But we need to get her in office first.
I agree she can’t say she’d cut the funding until after the election but honestly, I don’t think she, nor any GOP or Dem Establishment politician, would cut Israel funding of the war until we get the money out of politics bc that’s why they r supporting it. There r way too many gop and liberal Jews, including Israel government funding through straw donors, three of the wealthiest groups buying politicians to support Israel. We’d have to have a landslide election for a far-left dem president, more far-left dems in congress, dem majorities in house and senate with large margins who r going to significantly reduce big/dark money in politics before any of them r going to cut Israel funding. Look at the two progressives Bowman and Bush who lost their elections bc of AIPAC funding bc they supported Gaza’s civilians. As long as these groups/ppl can spend all the money they want to go after these politicians, none of them will risk going against what AIPAC, Jews, and wealthy evangelical republicans want. If progressives were smart, we wouldn’t demand progressives oppose Israel and speak out against them or our progressives will be replaced with Dem establishment politicians in congress. Don’t lose our progressives over one issue, an issue that’s going on in another country. I care about the ppl of Gaza but I care about my own democracy and economy more. Both Israel and Palestinians have combined religion, serous belief in their religions with politics and have chosen far-right, extremist leaders which is never a recipe for peace and moderation. Until they figure that out for themselves and change their ways, there really isn’t anything we can do to help them.
My take on Gaza is that people like Cenk and Ana need to get that there is not some magic way of ending the conflict tomorrow, so just focus on that Kamala is better then Trump on every other issue.
Tim Walz is the most likeable person I've ever seen in politics and Kamala Harris is the most experienced and qualified presidential candidate in U.S. history. We won already.
That kind of complacency and overconfidence is exactly how Hilary lost to him in 2016 and could very well be the reason the Democrats lose again this year. This election will come down to a handful of votes in a limited number of swing states.

Home-run speech? Lets see if she comes up with policies before the election and develops enough courage to answer hard questions about things she said in the past and debate Trump.
To expect KM to come out with a dramatic C change on Israel and Gaza is nieve. That's going up against the military complex and other powers at be. Yes, it's horrible, but resolving hate between two combatants that's been ongoing for centuries won't be solved by a convention speech. At the least, give her the opportunity to sit in the oval office before claiming she's a war hawk.
Thanks for giving us the reality in feedback. I will still vote for Kamala even though I don't agree with genocide in Gaza. We do have to keep fighting for Palestinian rights but we also need to make sure we dont become complacent and end up with a dictator Trump.
The whole world Doesn’t think that America is the greatest !! We know that our democracies are just as good, or better in many respects, than the US. We have all those things that America is still trying to implement.
She was insanely neocon with foreign policy. We already have the most lethal military. We spend $1 trillion on it every year now. How much should we spend? Why are the Palestinians suffering so greatly, Kamala? Who knows ... Everyone, including Kamala, discuss Hamas like they have equal power dynamics with Israel, not as Palestinians live in an open air prison, not as the Palestinian median age is 18 or 40% of Palestinians are under 14 yrs old, not as the majority of living Palestinians had any vote as to elect Hamas in 2006. Kamala talked about giving the middle class a tax cut. How about we progressively tax the wealthy. How about we shrink the gap between the wealthy and every day American. How about we expand Medicare to reduce skyrocketing medical costs. How about we attack exorbitant education costs that are drowning our younger generations with massive debt.
@@wesholland8358 I know realistically nothing would get done in Congress if the split between the parties stays so narrow. To promise things you can't deliver is a liability, but we ought to set down a vision of what the country can be. The President sets the vision.
I have to point out as an aussie watching the Democrat Convention, that the whole world does NOT see the US as the great thing itsays we all see it as!!!!!!. Yes people living in third world countries seeking opportunity not available to them may but we would never exchange places. . We find the climate destroying , materialism and consumption , the divide between ultra conservative and progressive , the wealth divide, shocking. The idea of not living in a true Democracy that gives voice to different views with a thriving multi party system is terrible. The lack of abuse of power and other controls on the executive Gvt and the leader in the US is also appalling. Kamala Harris is WRONG saying only in the US can a ..... our Prime Minister is the son of a social security housing single mother. That is the bottom of the system here. The opposition leader is an ex cop. This applies to all developed Western Democracies. We have a federal Health system for all, paid parental leave for up to 6 months, a great public school system, a civilised criminal justice system , excellent social welfare options, progressive social policies. At a level the US will never have because of its incomprehensible belief this is socialism. Yes the Murdoch media is intent on making us more like u but we will fight it .
which she can just avoid doing! spend more time out canvassing votes in communities across america. you ve already won the election, trump is imploding.
The Dems already had all of that a couple of years ago, and what did they do? NOTHING! Voting for the same again and expecting a different result is not a wise thing to do.
Cenk, your opening statements on Only In America was surprising. I assumed you has some understanding of what is going on in other countries outside if the US. Ireland has just had a Prime Minster of Indian background who won 2 general elections here. Also UK just changed from a Prime Minister whose parents are indian.
My wife is Korean and she moved with me to the US six years ago. She has been fascinated by the DNC (and even the RNC, even though we don’t agree with any). She thinks it’s just so awesome that we even assemble like this to support a candidate, that voters are so involved in the pep rally for their vision of the country.
