I'm an old lefty from way back.

[@jaye8872]

I love David’s podcast!

[@catalina9876]

I love this guy! Intelligent and hilarious! ❤️

[@jackfollansbee168]

“Id have no respect Bernie if he came on my show” - that killed me😂

[@amandaw9958]

For those of you that dont know, Feldman is a big Bernie bro... from way back. And if you recognize that bit, hello MR crew 😊.

[@paddleduck5328]

He’s a lefty from way back. Left is best 😎

[@fakepants]

He's for all the lefty policies. It's just... how do we "get there"?

[@dudenugget]

@@fakepants not by watching jimmy dore lmfao

[@Raikenbolai]

@@dudenugget not by watching a channel that takes $20m from Clinton doners

[@sscoutistaken]

@@Raikenbolai You're totally right, and Jimmy Dore did the right thing when he left TYT immediately as soon as Cenk started talking about taking Clinton money! Oh wait... Jimmy stayed on TYT for... how many years after they took those $20m? And he even gave video interviews explaining that Cenk wasn't a sellout for taking those $20m... I guess he eventually did leave? After he got paid a chunk of those $20m? #leftisbest

[@shaykitty6139]

Thanks for this interview Cenk.

[@persianwingman]

Feldman is my favourite Bernie bro.

[@shaisag1]

♥️♥️♥️♥️ David you are amazing thank you so for sharing your incredible new work and sharing your point of view about the subject of the Inside conflict in the progressive movement . You are the best and I miss your conversation with Michael so much you podcast help me with his loss so thank you so much ♥️

[@jennieolson6512]

Ty for this interview, I truly enjoyed it.

[@theprogressiveatheist7024]

The part you came here to see starts at 11:30.

[@kingdelbert]

OK, as a Jimmy Dore fan, the thing about what happened to Feldman kind of bothers me. Why did he do this. Cenk and Ana I understand because the smearing of Aaron Matte, but what did Feldman say and do that made him turn?

[@Raikenbolai]

Feldman seems to run toward authority when he is scared. He has a long history of shitlibbing under stress

[@redhood888]

Dummy Dore is a self absorbed psychopath. There is your answer.

[@DraconianKindness]

People are people. Love them or hate them. I happen to love both Jimmy and David despite their flaws. Nothing wrong with that in my humble opinion.

[@Raikenbolai]

@@DraconianKindness i like David a lot. He just happens to be picking the wrong side here.

[@psycholify]

It is simple. Feldman is a scold and was jimmy's close friend. They hung out together irl frequently. Dore knew morale, ire and convictions of his friend, so he cut him off the moment he decided he shall make Dave rubin's arc for profit. He wanted less drama, more money. Best proof of the above claim: "The Jimmy Dore deception" by reich wing watch. The turn is obvious.

[@cherylgish]

How about JD is on the 'other' side with GG. Maybe paid assets.

[@chrisoleson9570]

David Feldman, one of the country's oldest and grayest lefties from WAY back. Left is Best!

Hey David what do you think as a writer of a guy who took orders for a book he hasn't written yet?

[@jimhemphill2841]

AG, lets see some evidence of that moron, take orders hahahahaha f offlol

That Majority Report segment was amazing “3-dimensional diarrhea”

[@danielranger1610]

I agree with David. Jimmy is a genius.

[@buddinganarchist]

Leftists don't smear journalists. Hiss.

[@novaui4014]

Thanks for a real conversation. David and Jimmy and Cenk need to sit down and call off this war. Enough light has been shed on the political beliefs and practices of TYT and JD show. People watching these shows are capable of nuance and recognizing they perform different functions within our current political reality. They are both needed. If Dore and Cenk can work this out with a grand truce many will follow. Ana and Sam may be persuadable. This Freudian slip of a interview proves Cenk deep down wants peace. He brought this man who has top notch funny man skills to destroy, but got reminded by him that Jimmy is the definition of an imperfect Allie, but a Allie and dearly missed brother none the same. The other side recruited Alex Jones, and Owen Shroyer and Gavin McInnes, these men have ruthlessly lied their audience into frenzy's of fear and hatred. They aligned with a Trump and Roger Stone headed fascist bubble. They have rallied thousands of men to take up arms, literally creating street brawling factions that rival the brown shirts. Joe Biggs is talking on a podcast one-day then coming oh so close to TAKING CONGRESS HOSTAGE the next. These fascist are all former KZbin guys like TYT and JD and MR, the difference is they are playing for keeps. Cenk and Jimmy must recognize that these times make strange bedfellows for different reasons. David understands Jimmy like many people has certain issues, but is a political figure with loyal following that is far left and also susceptible to being peeled right on certain culture issues. Alex Jones audience in 2016 was a x factor. Dore may be in 2024, Cenk should bring and keep these needed dore fans into the fold if he truly values progressive causes. The fascist continue to rise. Our time is running out.

[@andreschang8526]

I didn't watch this video. TYT was against Force The Vote For Medicare For All but they weren't against forcing a vote for an infrastructure bill. TYT took $20 million from Hillary Clinton donor Jeffrey Katzenberg. Ana Kasparian accused Aaron Mate of working for Russia without providing any evidence to support that claim. When is AM gonna sue AK? AK accused Jimmy Dore of raising his voice at his wife. Evidence? Video? Audio?

[@AG-xc5ni]

Ana is the problem. As long as she's there Cenk has to back her nonsense and he gets screwed. She literally started all this and has made TYT look like a joke. People, including Jimmy, were willing to give Cenk a slide but when she started questioning people's motives, it ended everything. TYT needs to drop her and down-size back to the old days.

[@andreschang8526]

@@AG-xc5ni AK is, as JD said, a mean girl. AK is good looking and smart and she disrespects people. How disgusting. And AK tired to MeToo JD but her account was different from JD's which differed from Cenk's. So 3 different accounts of the same story. Maybe TYT is self destructing. Maybe only their donors and keeping them active.

[@psycholify]

Jimmy aint an ally. Maybe to the right. He is a cancer that needs to be cut off. "Jimmy dore deception" by reich wing media exposes most of his grifting sides. I highly recommend it to watch for anyone on the left who still considers this MAGA recruiter as an ally.

[@psycholify]

@fa q And you are a liar. RWW did few videos on Biden about a year ago. They were pretty much against the dude. How very blue maga of him. At the same time jimmy was promoting a right winger named Tulsi... But keep lying dude. Jimmy has been exposed. He knows it. Grift is slowly comming to the end. Now he is pushing horse meds together with Denis prager and other right wingers. To appease the MAGA idiots that make them rich. How blind or dishonest one has to be to not notice what jimmy dore is selling. How do you explain his wife contributing $1000 to elect a republican in Arizona. Or are you a russian bot just making a living on this very forum, not really intrested in facts and logic, just here to deny the obvious reality.

[@MABfan11]

Cenk is right, Jimmy is super selfish, he only cares about himself, not about how to advance the cause

[@Ghostchanter]

Cenk now turning to desperately interview people on TYT purely because they have beef with Jimmy lmfao. Journalism at its finest.

[@psycholify]

Feldo was his close friend. Get perspective on your idol. Get even more watching "the jimmy dore deception" by reich wing watch, if you are a lefty who mistakenly considers jimmy a lefty or an ally.

[@psycholify]

You cannot get as low as jimmy is (and brings you guys with him) on his best days.

[@michaelmullins3396]

Jimmy Dore still rules the show.

[@phaZed9]

Well, in Jimmy's defense, you're not being honest about his criticisms and have done a piss poor job at addressing his concerns about TYT... regardless of how or if you like the way he delivers them. Is Jimmy wrong sometimes? Sure. Are you guys wrong, yep, that too. As soon as TYT took the Katzenberg money (The Pelosi tie) things changed and became less critical. Everyone is for sale. We have too many issues that are pressing (Climate Change for one) that are 10-20 years away from catastrophe and we're still going to try the failing 50 year strategies? C'mon, man! "Burning it down" is becoming more and more "the only option" because US politics isn't getting better, it's getting worse... and if you can't see that then we've already lost. I'll be entirely happy to be entirely wrong but this kumbaya BS is for the birds. The time to act was yesterday and we're putting out 30+ year plans. Laughable. Why doesn't Jimmy and TYT have a 25 minute debate? Sort some shit out instead of hurling BS at each other?

[@CourtneyHaynes]

Quite plainly, Jimmy has a drastically different approach to politics than me and TYT. We don't push hard enough for his liking. Fine. Just let it be.

[@CourtneyHaynes]

@@tdh7865 truuuuuuh

[@phaZed9]

@@tdh7865 Respectfully, I believe you have it backwards. Jimmy is ready for a debate and TYT is the denier, as I understand it. Regardless, you deflect from the main point that is Jimmy does have some good points and accusations. I watch everyone.. and am critical of everyone... as of late, TYT has been a big let-down for me, attacking well-known journalists for petty reasons and not on the merits; russiagating, etc.. I still watch but it does seem an ulterior motive is afoot and seems just as damaging to the left as some would claim Jimmy's "scorched earth" approach is.

[@phaZed9]

@@tdh7865 I'm not going to resort to calling people's belief's backwards or calling people insane. Isn't Patreon cash basically small-donor dollars? Individuals? Like Bernie and progressives are "supposed " to take? Didn't TYT take $21 million dollars from Jeffrey Katzenberg and place one of his stooges on the TYT board, Shawn Colo? So, for you, people donating on Patreon is more suspicious than corporate, media-executive-controlled $20 million donations. Well, mmkay. TYT has been a mixed bag, as a viewer from the very early days(mid 2000's; Bush).. and a member for many years, of which I stopped (but not because of any of this drama; stopped in 2018). TYT totally flipped for Biden, which I think was very distressing for many viewers. They won't stop Russia-gating CIA briefs and they have effectively disregarded reporters and writers because they have a beef with them, regardless of the merit. Endless fundraising campaigns...TYT has changed, to accept anything less is lying to yourself. Overall, I like TYT and their heart is generally in the right place, but we don't have 50 or 100 years to "get shit going" in this long game.. so I also get the "Jimmys" screaming from the rooftop that your house is on fire - do something!

[@uncomfortabletruth5915]

Why doesn’t dore asks his stupid right wing cultist why they vote in corrupt politicians? But instead he tears down the only people fighting for change. Where is dores advocacy to primary corporate democrats and republicans? No where.

#cancelDavidFeldman

[@dudenugget]

Love this interview!!

[@jamesyarker5831]

David Feldman supported #ForceTheVote very explicitly on his podcast, even arguing civilly with some ppl who opposed it, while TYT was spreading the lie that #FTV would throw the House speakership to the GOP

[@amandaw9958]

Its okay to argue tactic civilly. Its not okay to label everyone you disagree with as a heretic and falsely accuse them of taking money from the opposition.

[@jamesyarker5831]

@@amandaw9958 It's not ok for a news & current affairs outlet, co-headed by a lecturer in journalism @ Cal State, to traffick in lies. And the claim that the House speakership was determined by plurality vote & that #FTV would've have thrown the speakership to the GOP was, quite simply, a lie. A lie which should've been publicly retracted.

[@psycholify]

There were many other problems with forcethevote. Do not know about position of the TYT on speakership or how exactly the vote would go. Giv8ng that pelosi campaigned for it for months making sure the votes are there one can assume that there were some risks. I'd say that one can be certain that Dore and other grifters aimed for a republican speakership. Just as.low-key they opted for Trump over clinton/biden both times. And when it comes 5o forcethevote. We know that their main aim was to lower the support for left wing people in the democratic party (the motivation of mpp, as exposed by ryan grim), and give some treat for the.MAGA viewers that they fish for on tucker calrson or Joe rogan by making an excuse for a turn, and attack8ng the most left wing politicians. Only thing they achieved was some divisions, lowered morale, and jimny's viewership is booming. Clear grift at expense of the left. But sticking to forcethevote in context of david feldman, who is on TYT, and mostnlikely would never be on a jimmy dore show is just laughable. I listen to david feldman show all the time. Sure he timidly supported forcethevote, but it was more as a principle. He didnt quite 5hought it through and even months later was surprised by the idea of "fake progressive further fak8ng their support for.m4a, knwoing that the m4a vote would fail anyways". Anyhow. Forcethevote is tackled as well as jimmy dore in excellent: "jimmy dore deception" by reich wing watch, which i recommend to all "leftists", who consider jimmy a lefty...

[@SteveGellerMusic]

I'm not sure how that was a lie, though. According to the CRS report on this, each party nominates a possible speaker and then they see who has the most votes. It is always the majority because the majority always sees it necessary (and usually preferable) to coalesce behind one name. But if part of FTV is "Pelosi will not get votes from Progressives unless she holds a vote on M4A," then that definitely means she could get fewer votes than McCarthy, who would then become Speaker. In fact, I thought that was the implicit threat. I'm not sure who the FTV people believe would get into the Speakership and advocate for M4A if they believe that even the Squad don't actually support it. But it isn't as though it would transfer to another Democrat, because the majority is sovereign in choosing the Speaker. If that were the case, there'd be no need for any other party to nominate someone, and they definitely do. You could say "it wouldn't DEFINITELY give us a GOP Speaker," which is true, but you can't say that this wouldn't be the likely outcome.
