ELIZABETH WARREN Brings News Anchors To Knees

[Segami]

Smack-Down with a "GIANT ELBOW".....Warren style!.....

"Elizabeth Warren has a message for any television personalities questioning the merits of increased financial regulation: You're wrong.

During a media tour last week to bring attention to a bill the Senator proposed with Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) and others aimed at preventing banks from making risky bets with Americans' savings, CNBC personality Brian Sullivan asked her to back his assertion that no law can prevent major bank busts.

'No that is just wrong,' Warren said in response."*

4. LOL!

5. what was that about? n/t

[Spitfire of ATJ]

22. Wrestling.

[liberalhistorian]

67. I still don't get it?

I couldn't even really understand what he was saying.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

68. Uh,...wresling isn't real...

[Volaris]

39. (sigh)...Dear lord..

we REALLY have to do something about our problem of expressed masculinity in this culture...

and on that note, I now return you to your regularly-scheduled (and wholly appropriate) Warren Rec.ing

[Whisp]

3. Huge K&R for the next President of the United States!

yay.

[Segami]

6. +1000

[Scuba]

7. I endorse this post.

[dixiegrrrrl]

9. I suspect she would decline to run.

I do not see her as a political animal.

Would LOVE to see her have the support of a sane Congress, tho.

[Volaris]

40. That she isn't, by her nature, a political animal, may be the best reason for her to HAVE that job..

the problem I predict, is that because of it, she isn't inherently a MEAN campaigner. She will need a lot of really politics-minded people around her if she does decide to run, ALL of them with VERY sharp teeth and tongues, to attack those opposed to her (and there will be many, I promise).

She is as smart as FDR ever was, but very soft-spoken about it; Franklin was never afraid to be openly belligerent to those people that deserved it, AND make a public display of it. THAT is the thing I fear that she lacks.

[RudynJack]

41. I adore her

but she's not a political beast - and to be President, she'd have to be one.

She's just not. It hasn't been her life, her experience, her hope.

I would love to see her in the Senate for a long time.

[99Forever]

55. Oh goody...

... another "expert" with a "nuh uh, it can't happen" prediction. I'd guess you "predicted" she couldn't get a consumer protection bureau or become a Senator, too.

BTW, what are next week's lotto numbers going to be?

[RudynJack]

61. How silly.

I have my views, you have yours. I gave explicit reasons, and you turn that into a delusion that I'm psychic.

When you're ready to have a grown-up discussion, get back to me.

[Zorra]

24. +1. She's perfect for the job. nt

[Dollface]

27. Right now she is desperately needed right where she is.

She is accomplishing things that no President could. Maybe 2024. That's only 10 years.

[1-Old-Man]

51. Nonsense, She is the sort of Democrat we need (and dam sure don't have) in the White House right now

[think]

8. k&R

[phantom power]

10. "but she's not *quite* done kicking their ass"

[mick063]

11. Warren

One of those mythical "progressive Democrats that will drop from the sky to save us all".

Some folks give such argument as a condescending joke. An effort to defend a failed Presidency.

I actually believe such "rubbish" to be true. I believe we need about 500 more Warren clones. I believe we need a cabinet full of Elizabeth Warrens as well as President, Senators, Representatives, and judiciary positions.

[Triana]

12. If Wall St., CNBC, Koch Bros or anyone else thinks they can scrub this now...

...(and they're trying) they're fooling themselves.

[Zoeisright]

13. That certainly is a "bubble headed bleached blonde" on the left.

n/t

[Segami]

14. She and her Aussie accent was DOA as soon she challenged Warren.

[matthews]

19. You're right. It was so stereotypical it was sad and funny at the same time. nt

[AllyCat]

49. But everything she's heard or read says there is no support

Of course, she wouldn't want to think for herself. That wouldn't pay her as handsomely.

[No Vested Interest]

15. I understand CNBC had the youtube version taken down. nt

Sorry, I see this is reported on another OP. I'll leave here just for completeness of thought.

[Segami]

17. I believe so.

[Beacool]

16. Good for her!!

I hope that she becomes the "lioness" of the Senate, ala Ted Kennedy. I also hope that she remains in the Senate for years to come, we neeed her.

[matthews]

18. I'd crawl through broken glass withn two broken kneecaps to vote for

this woman for President.

This woman is honest. You always know she will do the right thing and she will not lie to you.

Who knows? She may not want to run for President but the chances are zero that she will if she's not shown adequate support.

[Segami]

21. I believe she has quite a bit of support increasing more each day.

[lark]

25. I'd absolutely love the option of voting for her

for president. Just one time in my life, I'd love the real option of voting for someone I 100% agree with. I thought I was close the first time with Obama, but no, he's mainly the compromiser in chief doing the bidding of Wall St./big banks/military industrial complex.

[Nitram]

20. Am I the only one

who wishes Cenk would keep his chat to a minimum and let Warren speak for herself?

[Enthusiast]

38. I hope you are the only one. nt

[Gidney N Cloyd]

60. I agree. He doesn't add much.

[ShawnRIN]

66. Agreed

She can speak for herself. I like the lead in, but I think its far more important to pay attention to her counter points within context rather than add fuel to the cult of E. Warren. Facts are neither Dem or Rep, they are just facts.

[calimary]

23. More please, Senator Warren!

PROUD as can be - of her! She's my Senator too (even though I live in California)!!!! She certainly represents how I see the world!

[CarrieLynne]

26. does that anchor.....is that.......a mullet? OO

[Dollface]

28. The Professor is in!

[woo me with science]

29. Please stay safe, Elizabeth Warren.

We need you.

[B Calm]

30. K&R

[Corruption Inc]

31. TV's idiotic mode of talking head counterpoint aholes is so f-ing old and stupid

In TV land, it doesn't matter how many decades of pure lies have been proven wrong over and over and over again, TV land just keeps spewing the lies in hopes that it'll get an emotional, rather than rational, response from it's sucker/viewers.

You could see in Warren's face how sorry she felt for the talking head losers and their idiotic paradigm.

[Segami]

35. Warren extended the stuffed animals a gentle hand and courtesy.

[superpatriotman]

32. My hero

I heart Senator Warren.

[reflection]

33. Stay out of small planes, Senator Warren

we need you badly.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

34. They pulled the video as if that would make it go away.

[RedCappedBandit]

36. lol @ the random media bimbo's appeal to authority

Warren rocked 'em all

[Enthusiast]

37. I never tire of seeing that.

Cenk did a great job too.

Too bad we are seldom allowed to hear alternate views on the corporate owned propaganda machine. These CNBC people know how dangerous it is to allow a lone truth teller even a moment of exposure. They piled on, but she was right on the facts.

[Dustlawyer]

42. Why don't we all protest and fight for

Publicly funded elections and put an end to those corrupt politicians that are owned by the banks? This would fix a lot more than our banking system!

[reformist2]

46. Good point. That's the best way to get more "Elizabeth Warren" types elected!

[Le Taz Hot]

58. This is the third time I've asked you this question.

How do you do it? How do you get those who are directly benefitting from private financing to turn off their own spigot? In detail. How do you do that?

[Dustlawyer]

62. My apologies. The only way I see ismassive sustained

protests!

[antigop]

43. why do you think there's a DU meme about how she should stay in the Senate and not run for prez?

She scares the living daylights out of the DLC/Thirdway/corporate Dems.

[1-Old-Man]

52. There are two contributors to that, Trolls and Hillary-adorators.

Trolls and Hillary lovers are scared to death of her because she represents a Democratic Party that though dam near dead is still the only hope of the common working people.

[Segami]

63. I'm not sure I understand your question.

"...why do you think there's a DU meme about how she should stay in the Senate and not run for prez?..."

How did you arrive to your conclusion that I think there's a DU meme about how she should stay in the Senate and not run for prez from this post?

[antigop]

64. it wasn't a conclusion ... it was a way to ask for your opinion.

In my neck of the woods, it's a way we ask someone for his/her opinion.

There is a DU meme about keeping Warren in the Senate.

Why do you think there is a DU meme about keeping Warren in the Senate?

iow, in your opinion, why is there a DU meme about keeping Warren in the Senate?

[kentuck]

44. President Warren...

has a ring of authority to it.

[reformist2]

45. It's all hers, if she wants it.

[michigandem58]

47. That's just funny n/t

[reformist2]

54. I'm a believer!

[ctsnowman]

48. A whole channel

devoted to market coverage and not one of them saw 2008 coming. It's as if the weather channel had been predicting clear skies the day before Katrina hit and then, after they got it wrong, claiming that a tornado hit afterwards. They have zero credibility.

[AllyCat]

50. right on!

[MrMickeysMom]

53. LOVE + LOVE you guys...

Senator Elizabeth Warren

Cenk Uygar of The Young Turks (Current TR)

[roamer65]

56. She shut that useless Kernan down right away.

I have never seen him get shut down that fast or shut up that quick.

Folks, this is what a real FDR style New Deal democrat sounds like.

Go Senator Warren! I can hear Teddy saying it as well!

[roamer65]

57. The proof that Glass-Steagall works was the 1987 stock market crash.

The market dropped 22 percent yet the banks remained solvent. Except for Reagan's deregulated S&L's.

65. Where is he now?

Used to be on Current. Is he still there? Is Current now Al Jazera?
