The funiest part is where he says we don't have a democracy anymore lol you never had one.

[JG]

She actually brilliantly interviews him. She acts like he is such a genius and the more she gasp's and goes on the more he wants to talk about the things he has done.

So can you tell me why we shouldn't send those congressmen and the lobbyists to prison for the rest of their lives? But I buy a dime bag and I go to jail for over 10 years in some places and I'm a felon FOREVER. We have a 4 tier justice system.

Cenk, your freaking awesome. nothing more, nothing less

[gilbet]

Bravo to Cenk and Bravo to 60 minutes for finally showing the details of how the system works.

[lullabomb]

Abramoff is doing us a favor at considerable risk. He should be commended for this interview.

@rarush86 the term used on the house floor for this act is "Suspend The Rules" and they say it after every bill they introduce.

[priestpilot]

She was shocked so it makes for a more dramatic effect, so the interview is actually interesting to watch!

[crayyawn]

[MrRayne]

If i had a like button for this guy coming out like this and saying things as they are, for whatever reason he did that, i would press on that button 24/7

[anonymousadvocate]

You guys always have a lot of interesting and informative videos.

[ErikSlavik]

This video should have 100 million views.

[miketheman]

I love you Cenk! Thanks for telling it like it is.

[LizzieBennet]

Finally, so refreshing to watch some real news in the mainstream media!!!!

[pnoozi]

This biggest problem is that the people who actually have the power to get rid of the corruption in our government are, themselves, corrupt.

[comeclarityy]

cenk looked on the verge of tears before he said "we dont have a democracy anymore."

[Aizacc]

The ultimate question is how do we eliminate this form of legalized corruption?

[calibur]

As American citizens we shouldn't pay taxes anymore. "No taxation without representation." Well, these politicians no longer represent us, they represent corporate interest. If they're not going to represent us anymore, why are we paying taxes?

[billysunerson]

Solution? Have a government that protects individual rights of liberty and property. No more forced taxation, no more lobbyists. Moral government. Problem solved.
