I was a huge TYT fan in the early years but its rhetoric drove me away. I'm suspicious of his "pivoting".

[panamareg]

I am waiting for Cenk to say "I was wrong about Jimmy Dore".
It has taken Cenk more than four years to start repeating what Jimmy Dore has been saying all along.

I’m so sick of the “team” mentality. If someone has a good idea, I couldn’t care less where it came from. If Cenk has some good ideas, I’ll listen to them.

Cenk spent years calling Trump and voters "fascists" and it's curious that now that his party lost he wants to have a dialogue.

[kentiner]

Thanks for having Cenk on your show/podcast. I used to hate him, now I merely dislike him.

[MatthewEGolden]

SO why are we even listening to someone who spent the better part of a decade being wrong? Who cares. He is just trying to maintain relevance. BUT HE DOESNT DESERVE IT!

[jackbauer]

Who take Cenk serious anymore. After 4yrs of Russia gate. What has Cenk been right about the past 8yrs.

[pwcoon]

Working together is NOT A JOKE!!! Keep your mind OPEN!!! Filter throughout what you think and keep what you think is correct. Please remember these lines are fluid

Personally I'm a big fan of the direction Cenk and Anna have gone recently.

[JustinA-pn]

I'm happy that Cenk is easing up on Maga supporters. For years, TYT fan base has been insufferable, calling me a fascist, etc. I'm not into socialism or putting minors on hormones and puberty blockers, so the Left has abandoned me. TYT has a fan base that has been relentless in calling Maga people fascists. We're not fascists, and Trump is not Hitler.
I am happy that Cenk is seeking middle ground. I genuinely don't care if it seems like a huge pivot. It's welcome

[paulbrown]

Great interviewer; asks good questions and allows the guests to fully answer.

[doogyob]

Cenk shedding his skin and slithering toward anyone who might make him relevant is one of the true joys of Trump's win. 🤣🤣🤣

I think Ana's is authentic, I don't believe Cenk. For one Tulsi hated HRC for good reasons and didn't want to fight in endless wars because she saw it first hand. The democrats pushed her out of the party for not capitulating to every whim. Then she started talking to more libertarian minded people, and they made sense and changed some opinions. As far as Jimmy Dore goes, hes a comedian who believes in conspiracies. He is NOT right wing, he is left of Cenk actually and quite funny. He also gets some things 100% right imo and saw right through russiagate where Cenk bit down hard. If I'm mistaken and Cenk is being authentic, great! Just skeptical that he is blowing in the wind...

[JustinA-pn]

It is welcome that Cenk and Ana are seeking common ground w/ Maga. Cenk, if you happen to see this, disregard the naysayers. It's always good to find common ground between the parties. The Left labels middle of the road Republicans as Fascists all too often. I'm relieved when I see this

[tiersolutions]

This is called pivoting. Can you imagine what he would be paying if his side won?

[viktordoe]

implying that Matt Walsh hates the legal immigrant community is just hienous.

[dasfahrer]

As usual, Cenk's mostly wrong but gets some things right.

[Grwhitemonster]

Like Cenk is learning now…take the win, for those of us on the Right.

I don’t know exactly what caused his change of view, but if TYT is at least not openly hostile to everything, that’s a win, what’s the point of roasting the guy?

Don’t be like the Democrats, we welcome people in to the tent.

[freshheck]

Cenk Uygur? THE Cenk Uygur?! The ORIGINAL YOUTUBER?
Legendarily difficult to take him seriously. My brain superimposes clown makeup on his face by default.

[coletteharman]

Well done Emily and Cenk. It’s essential to have these conversations with those we, presumably, disagree with. There’s probably more that unites us than separates us but we need to have the conversation first.
