@Tripleblade 82 Yeah because this generation is so awful with attempts at less racism, less crime, less drug use, and trying to clean up what the rest of America left for them.
Tripleblade 82 all you have to do is look at the FBIs annual crime reports. Violent crime dropped 38% from the 80s to the 2010s. To say that crime hasn’t dropped would be dumb of you to say and you’re just using your bias to pass judgement. I see you have the Patrick Star type of lifestyle
44444444 1111111111111 So he objects to both? Then he has to support the winner since he did not participate like 45% of eligible voters. That means 45% must be quite and wait until next election, or leave to where they will vote.
I agree with you, but that move wasn't that smart. One could blame it on the American system of only having 2 strong parties, and say, in a perfect world this 3rd guy would have a chance, so I'm gonna vote for him. But if you know that it's either Hillary or Trump, and that turns out to be correct and you still vote for another candidate, then it's like you haven't voted at all. In a system where only one of two can win, and you don't like one, and you really don't like the other, you vote for the first of the 2. That's what you call being an adult.
It’s a huge credit to TNT and these guys and a major discredit to all the political networks that a show composed of NBA analysts has better, more respectable political opinions than a large number of hosts on Fox News/CNN/MSNBC. if only everyone approached it like these guys; respect to each of them.
Guys like Ernie shouldn't run for the Oval Office...have to compromise themselves spiritually to get stuff done. Just like David wasn't allowed into the house of worship becoz he had blood on his hands being a warrior
Glad to see NBA has the guts to express opinions. I am from Europe and this would not happen in any sport here... Having values and using the succes of the organization to express what you feel is a great thing.
Romain Laroche We only do that in America when it is against the republicans. It doesn’t happen toward the democratic Party. It doesn’t take “guts” “for the NBA to speak out against a republican- it’s just the status quo.
@The Unknown I'm Frm uk..and sadly not all have got the right idea.here or in Europe. . . Thankyou big shaquille...I love what you saying. .YOU 2 make sense..and it about the future of ALL LIVES. .All LIVES..Matter..in all walks of life in all parts of this earth... x
Kenny voted for Trump because of his taxes. Shaq did too. You don’t have to agree 100% with Trump but you can agree with other policies. In this case Kenny votes for Trump because he wants to save his money. You can tell from this segment who the Trump supporters are. The ones not admitted to not voting for him. Shaq and Kenny voted to protect their money.
@@johnkttraining uhm actually, most religious people like to mock other people's religion and atheist. so it's the other way around. people who don't believe in god and only follow philosophies are actually more respectful and much more educated
@@beattheovenludwigvan Most PEOPLE tend to mock other peoples views, beliefs, political ideologies, religions, religions, cultures, etc etc... That statement is meaningless. As for atheists being "more educated", that usually has MUCH MORE to do economic standing in that particular society.
@@beattheovenludwigvan Lol okay. I've NEVER seen a Christian going around randomly ripping atheists, but almost every day I see atheists ripping any remotely Christian remark about praying or God Bless you, etc. Talking about imaginary sky God's and whatever disrespectful comment they can think of. As for the "more educated and respectful" bit, what a farce. You have any statistical sources to back your claim?
LOL He gets me every time because he says it as if he's expanding on what he said, but then you realize he's just repeating the exact same thing. Haha!
I'm a Christian too, and man, I really hope not just Christians but all that has Faith, just pray and love everyone! Love these guys, especially Ernie!
I did not expect such a mature and logical response from an NBA talk show. “We have to give him a chance” is probably the best thing you can say on tv especially to a large impressionable audience.
Love you guys especially Chuck! Im mo Christian but if i could be half of who u are EJ, i'd be blessed. No more hate, global love y'all! Love from Cambodia!
Good Job TNT( Sports ) And Awesome job E.J. your thoughts were pure and genuine and from the heart. And I was glad to have heard your sentiments on this election God Bless you brother.
@@Shockkings0714 He started with a booming economy taken out of a recession and now want to be credited for an unemployment number that's been trending down for 8 plus years starting with you know who. And now the yield curve has inverted so it'll skyrocketed up thanks to the clown.
Ernie Johnson is a good man. What he said about loving others and praying for our leader is absolutely profound and true. People need to stop criticizing Trump and protesting. They are destroying cities and relationships.
There's a HUGE difference between loving others/praying for the country and not criticizing a politician. Don't blindly follow your leader just because you have hope that everything will turn out okay.
I can’t believe I’ve never seen this video before. Absolute class from all of them. Even though they aren’t fans, they hope to see DT succeed. Praying for your leaders downfall was such an odd thing to see. If he succeeds, we succeed. More people need to speak like these gentlemen.
I really miss those days. I had a great year in college and with my roommate who introduced me to this video. I also heard no bad news regarding racism at the time. They were simpler times for me.
I'm not gonna lie, I watched HOURS of French and American news programs, and it's probably the best analysis I've seen. Seriously, it's so f'n rare to see guys not yelling at each other trying to prove they're right.
As a conservative, nothing but respect for Chuck and Shaq for being willing to give Trump a chance. You don't deserve a chance if you don't give others a chance.
I like this little chat despite what a lot of people say about keeping sports and politics separated. Almost made me tear up. It's just a few people talking about whats going on in the world and what they feel about it. No need to get offended.
Is Ernie the 2nd coming ??????? I have so much respect for this man and what he does. I wish I was half the man he is. If I could one day shake this mans hand and tell him how much respect I have for him, I would be grateful. ERNIE 2020!!!!!!!
We live in a different world right now, it is divided when it is supposed to be united. I would like to witness that we would no longer talk about who is black , white, brown or yellow; we have simple words at hand that send messages for all mankind to easily understand-----LOVE, KINDNESS, COMPASSION, ........... #WEMUSTOVERCOME.
Have never seen this before. Respect for Chucks thoughts, Kenny was blinded by media hate, Respect for Shaq as well, Ernie too, at least he had a moral compass both ways.
Ernie is a true gentlemen. actually all these guys handled this with class you rarely see nowadays.
Tripleblade 82 that’s a massive generalization, I try to avoid those
@Cam Matthew ok hillbilly boomer
Cam Matthew who raised the new generations????

ernie is a really smart man, the only tv host with the balls to say he don´t vote even for hillary o trump

He voted for someone so he still used his voice so he still has a say.
right I voted Gary Johnson

@Patrick Ellis "My vote, his vote and none of our vote make a difference" is statement from a man that has given up on democracy. end of story.
I was expecting Charles to say "Ernie this is trrrrble this guy a knucklehead"
YES ‼sounds just like him 😭
Barkley is actually a conservative if I’m not mistaken
Al Phuckya he’s a moderate there has been times when he’s voted for democrats and when he’s voted for republicans
Ernies first problem was when he said he watched CNN!
@@FecalMatador he literally said in this video he voted for Hillary

That's true.
Jake Durbin no they don't
Metal Elitest yea they do every time I watch a mainstream news channel it’s like a two kids arguing at a playground
Sir Cartier you watchin cnn huh
The Unknown very well said
I know I'm not the only person who almost cried listening to E.J.
God bless you dawg
Facts when he got to talking about god I got misty eyed
@@MG-es8uz Outsourcing our decision making to a mythical being got us into this mess.
I'm not religious at all, but the way Ernie spoke made me feel some type of way.
Nope. God bless you too bro
@@seanammon6993 it's cause he was speaking the truth
The Word of God is spirit and life (John 6:63)
Notice how different TNT sounds than ESPN. No wonder one is doing well and one is suffering.
Because ESPN is in the pockets of China. They’re owned by Disney
when is Ernie running for pres though?
The presidential state of the union address will be replaced by "The pre-si-dent's Neat'o, stat of the niigghhtt!!"
toptenguy1 hasn't listened to the lobbyists since 1989.
toptenguy1 presented byyyy no one
Guys like Ernie shouldn't run for the Oval Office...have to compromise themselves spiritually to get stuff done.
Just like David wasn't allowed into the house of worship becoz he had blood on his hands being a warrior
Scottie Pippin for Secretary of De-Fense! Clap clap clap.
I respected Ernie before but that just tripled
Hahahaha
Ernie played the cop out. Many people have done that post trump. Just say the middle and both sides are bad and you won't alienate any viewers
Ernie Johnson said: "How can I be a fountain, and not a drain!!!" I Love this quote!!!
After Ernie's speech no one should say a word, he just wrap it up with true wisdom.
Glad to see NBA has the guts to express opinions. I am from Europe and this would not happen in any sport here... Having values and using the succes of the organization to express what you feel is a great thing.
Salute!!
Yeah well that's just like your opinion man

SteelersPenguinsPirates Brain washing of the Holy Spirit yes sir haha
SteelersPenguinsPirates hope you have a blessed day
Ernie Johnson is class personified, my favorite sports commentator because he's such a great guy.
Wow TNT was far more professional about it than ESPN
I love Chuck but man he always repeats his statements a million times
Eduardo Manrique we have to give him a chance lol
That's what makes him Chuck 😁. It isn't Chuck when hes not getting roasted for his habits lol
the beauty of the chuckster
LOL He gets me every time because he says it as if he's expanding on what he said, but then you realize he's just repeating the exact same thing. Haha!
He's the basketball version of madden lol
I think they all had great answers but Ernie's was by far the best. Much respect to this group
these dudes smarter than most people
Shaq has doctorate degree, dudes actually humble
@@ch.illmatic yeah and Kenny was very scholarly. But chuck idk about chuck
It's ch.illmatic Shaq is smart but he definitely ain’t humble lol, nor does he need to be
One week later Chuck is bricklaying in the studio, claiming he's gonna build the wall lol
😂😂😂
*Chanting* ERNIE!! ERNIE!! ERNIE!!
Hold this W up high EJ!
Shaq: "A guy with not political experience is president......" (Internal Shaq Thinking: I wonder if I can be president???)
I'm a Christian too, and man, I really hope not just Christians but all that has Faith, just pray and love everyone!
Love these guys, especially Ernie!
I feel like if Ernie ran for president, he'd unite the left and the right in a way no candidate had been able to.
Anyone watching this December 2019?
dellhpfree yes and I have no idea why
Here! Here! 🙋♂️
Alex Sandoval ayy me too
Record low unemployment
I’m watching this Saturday January 18th, 2020 at 7:44 PM
Ernie... 👏👏👏👏
He absolutely nailed it.
Ernie 2020. What an absolute legend
I did not expect such a mature and logical response from an NBA talk show. “We have to give him a chance” is probably the best thing you can say on tv especially to a large impressionable audience.
Ernie for president bro 😂💯💯
This went viral and you missed it NBA on TNT! Upload these right after they air if you want to do the internet right
I think EJ almost made Shaq cry..
Ok... Ernie's speech was AMAZING
Ernie’s statement was stunning. We need not only more commentators like him, but more leaders, more human beings like him.
Love you guys especially Chuck!
Im mo Christian but if i could be half of who u are EJ, i'd be blessed.
No more hate, global love y'all!
Love from Cambodia!
God still loves you, even when you go out of your way to separate yourself from Him. You still have time to change. God bless.
I didn't politically agree with any of them but I respect them so much for acting like adults
Shaq’s a trump supporter lol
ItsHaydn how do u know?
@ahhsnap _xbox 🤣🤣🤣 go do your research man
Everyone but Kenny Smith.
If anyone had common sense, they would see Ernie knows the truth
Ernie 👏👏
#ErnieforPresident
thank you Shaq. "A guy with no politically experience". Like a half of Americans. Thank you.
Great statement Ernie.. so true
Good Job TNT( Sports ) And Awesome job E.J. your thoughts were pure and genuine and from the heart. And I was glad to have heard your sentiments on this election God Bless you brother.
EJ is the greatest
Wow! Just saw this after all this time. Man big gigantic thumbs up to Ernie & surprisedly Charles. I really appreciate what he had to say.
wow, ernie dropped the mic. respect.
President Trump did exactly what u wanted Chuck and Shaq .....put the country first ........Hes done terrific
Vince Cozzi you sure about that 🤔
Vince Cozzi no he hasn’t 😂.

😂😂 Election night 2016 was the best night of television I've ever seen.
10X better on Social Media. My favorite tweet was someone tweeting "Live look at the Clinton watch party hitting the mannequin challenge."
Maga
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yeah I still go back and watch every now and then, can’t wait for the repeat!
You sure it’s not the teen choice awards?! You look like a creep bro. And I bet you deal with orange spray tan around your lips
Ernie Johnson is a good man. What he said about loving others and praying for our leader is absolutely profound and true. People need to stop criticizing Trump and protesting. They are destroying cities and relationships.
The Claw Network I will respect trump when he starts to respect my race
What do you think about him now?
The Claw Network So true
There's a HUGE difference between loving others/praying for the country and not criticizing a politician. Don't blindly follow your leader just because you have hope that everything will turn out okay.
We're you saying the same things when president obama was the president and there was tea party rallies and protests throughout the country? doubt it
I still come back to this a couple years later and still get inspiration from Ernie's part.
I literally got choked up watching this, love these 4 men
Ernie is the best, I wish he called more baseball games. He is great in the playoffs. True gentleman.
much respect to EJ
All these men handled this with class I'm genuinely impressed I wish more people handled themselves this way in general
I remember watching this live. It hit you differently at that time
Respect to Ernie and all these great guys, this was the most honest discussion on politics I've ever seen on tv.
I love these guys man!
I can’t believe I’ve never seen this video before. Absolute class from all of them. Even though they aren’t fans, they hope to see DT succeed. Praying for your leaders downfall was such an odd thing to see. If he succeeds, we succeed. More people need to speak like these gentlemen.
6:17
FREEZING COLD TAKE
Props to Ernie...mad respect.
Ernie told America what it wanted to hear but Kenny told America what it needed to hear.
That’s why this show is blessed
Im just about crying listening to EJ!!! God bless you cuzzo!!!!!!
Good bunch of guys there. All well spoken.
Good for them... This kind of reason, despite disagreement, is rare in all forms of media
In your country mostly.
Inside the NBA will always be the best.
Woah. Ernie. You’re a role model.
Amen ernie
EJ just spoke the truth💯💯💯
Surprisingly candid.
Respect to y’all for keeping it classy and respectful. Much love
We live in a constitutional republic not a democracy
We really live in an oligarchy.
*Representative republic
Absolutely
ej is a beautiful soul
yo ernie man you really encouraged me bro!
Very interesting to come back and see these reactions. Now its 2020. Let's see what happens next. Be safe yall.
This didn’t age well
Haha yeah, he really set back Usa for decades
Ej and Chuck 2024‼️🤘🏽
Loved Kenny’s take as well
I really miss those days. I had a great year in college and with my roommate who introduced me to this video. I also heard no bad news regarding racism at the time. They were simpler times for me.
EJ wow what a great statement, God bless you EJ
10:40 Barkley making a great point
You just need to sit down and listen when a guy like Ernie talks

WIsh more people have respect for the higher office. Charles Barkley is such a class guy.
I would like to see their view on Trump now. We've given him a chance now.
Joshua Nouri It’s been a while since you commented this, but Shaq is an Open Trump Supporter.
ItsHaydn this is 100% false
He has been seen with him multiple times.

Eugene Porter search it up and show me proof
ernie’s the definition of class
Amen Ernie man you got me tearing up Brother!
Great sports coverage
Ernie's the 🐐
As a conservative, nothing but respect for Chuck and Shaq for being willing to give Trump a chance. You don't deserve a chance if you don't give others a chance.

I got chills when Ernie talked
We live in a different world right now, it is divided when it is supposed to be united.

Have never seen this before. Respect for Chucks thoughts,
Kenny was blinded by media hate,
Respect for Shaq as well,
Ernie too, at least he had a moral compass both ways.
Wow Kenny really hit the nail on the head. It's crazy watching this video 3 years later.
They all did great!
