Ben Shapiro Asks Bill Maher If He Would Ever Vote Republican 

They are polite because neither on has a dog in the game (for those not familiar with this idiom, it means they have nothing to lose or gain... They are not running for office.

Amen brother

Thats the problem, both parties serve themselves, not us. They won't compromise or talk together and we all suffer because of their careers and party manipulation.

@The Cat you are 100% right my first thought my dog in the fight yes I like my gasoline-powered car and motorcycle and the left is trying to take that away from Me by overpricing gasoline when there is a very abundant Supply. So I'm evidence when Trump was President gas was cheap as soon as Biden became president stop the drilling on federal lands no there's lots of oil there it didn't just dry up overnight so too speak babe I think you wonder what we are in now my first thought is a disaster

Someone who wants a recession just because hates someone, doesn't deserve respect. It's stupid.

They’re both articulate and polite.

Sorry, on the main stage, Ben HAS to lie for his base. Ben will NOT talk about these issues where his own members will see it.

@@andrewfrank7222 And what are those supposed things? I see accounts like yours make that sort of comments everywhere only to find out that you all literally have no clue what the rest of reality is and is actually discussing anymore.

@@mrsqueakthecat.8061 ​ @J Rnd Maher said it. Climate change. When Ben is in front of Maher or Sam Harris (his "liberal" friends), he quickly patronizes them with the party line "I agree it is a problem, but the Democrats are addressing it wrong" ... On his show, there is no patronizing. There is also no solution offered. And in the Corporate owned GOP, that is intentional and exactly what they want. Lip service to voters followed by complete inaction by the government or its agencies acting on behalf of the American working class. What Maher refuses to acknowledge is that the Democrats pay the lip service, talk about the correct solutions, and then give blank checks to their half of the corporate donors. Neither one will simply state the facts they both know. Status quo corporate oligarchy is here to stay. The people in Congress are a pantomime for angry, abused working class adults to yell at each other and remain divided indefinitely.

You are not wrong. The Hillary/Trump debate was like watching children argue.

We still exist, we just moved left of liberal.

@@TheReaverOfDarkness yes, but still stupid.. because you want to fuck peoples life´s because of "climate change", that have occur for CENTURIES!! you want a solution?? go nuclear!! cheaper and cleaner.. renewable are not cleaner or cheaper.. and I know that because I worked for years in Wind Industry

Screw “old schools l liberals”, they’re how we got the loony leftists!

That is what happens when you hear grown-ups talk. Gosh, I love that.

Both very mature and intelligent people.

This is also what BS looks like too. Claiming that solar energy collection isn't sustainable on the world stage when they are actually doing it is laughable. This was the same argument the ICE companies had when Tesla was building electric cars, now they are being forced to build their own.

When normal people debate

dialogue? 🤔

It looks like Shapiro kissing Maher's ass.

Green energy = more independence.

not as it currently exists until green energy develops further it has to be backed by oil plain and simple and funnily enough green energy relies on oil products in either production or maintenance. I think it is the future but we are not there yet.

@@milanortiz5665 Not really. It puts an unreasonable load on the power grid we currently have. Solar and wind cannot store the energy it creates, so they use batteries. Those batteries use rare metals that we have to get from places that don't like us, like China. So like everyone of course I would love to have renewable energy that doesn't deplete the planet. But its not there, and like Ben said, we can virtue signal all we want, but China and India are still dumping pollution everywhere. That's what people on the Leftist bubble conveniently leave out of the conversation.

Wind is a joke, solar is the way. But solar is only viable when we get crazy stuff like orbital rings and can literally bean energy via laser from outside the atmosphere back to earth. And to get to that point we need NUCLEAR ENERGY, first through fission and in the near future fusion. That's how the green energy people should think but instead they are 100% against nuclear energy, which is why I don't like or trust them.

@@milanortiz5665 why not nuclear then

I hope you're right, but I don't know....

This is the way it used to be.

@@electricgigolo We can get back to civil debates once we overthrow those who have stolen democracy

Is it really an adult conversation though? Specifically in this clip bill says the republicans are crazy and aren’t worth saving but the democrats are. Think about that

I feel like there is finally a shift happening with regards to this type of dialogue. This desperately needs to also happen with more social-based issues. No matter your level of passion (justified or not) the extremism on either side has made everyone either so angry or so passive almost to the point of indifference. We are all exhausted. I know I am. Before we can find a meeting place or arrive at proper compromises, we at least have to agree on civil, non-insulting conversation. The mere act of honestly attempting to hear and consider an opposing viewpoint is a massive step forward.

Both of them are extremely abrasive normally, put them together and... it's a civilised discussion?! Didn't see that coming.

Let's be Honest We knew it ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-HNVLsBXvrhw.html.

Biden IS senile. Even if he's acting the way he's been behaving on purpose, it's still wrong as president. Trump is not half of the things people say that he is and "crazy" is hardly something that you can state as a fact both for Trump and Biden. You can have your opinion on Trump and make fun of the way he drinks water, he's orange, he's uncultured, he's a caricature... well, everyone already did that for four years but is he crazy? Trump did those cognitive tests to see if he's able to be president and he is, as far as I know, Biden refused. With the exception of "lying, corrupt" CNN and NYT, Trump have always stopped to answer reporters and if he couldn't he would yell his reason... Biden is unapologetic crass when he's in a bad day towards reporters AND VOTERS. It's all documented on NPR, Reuters, CNN... Biden "being a creep" is not something MAGA invented, he has the image of creepy for years. I realized that Biden was mentally unwell the time when CNN had to fact check almost all of Biden's answers ON THEIR OWN PROMOTED EVENT. You can search for it if you want... it was about, among other things, the second covid vaccine, if I'm not mistaken...

Biden is senile AND crazy

Meanwhile Biden is the lunatic calling PUTIN a murderer in March 2021. Maybe that’s the reason for ukraine?

I would love to hear an intelligent conversation around this question. How is orange man STILL so much worse then Biden? I still don't understand, after 4 years, what he did that was so terrible? If Trump had done one of the things Biden had done, I would have been like "well crap, yall were right, orange man bad"

Can’t argue that logic.

NEVER vote for just a letter..

yeah it was 22 years ago but hes not wrong, he did vote

96 was 26 years ago. I wouldn't count a primary vote at all because McCain did not get the nomination and Maher wasn't even sure he'd have voted for McCain if he had. Regardless, both times he voted for people that everyone knew wasn't going to win. Way to go Bill 👍

It’s also funny how both of them are pretending like the movie 2000 M..yules doesn’t clearly prove election fraud even though it does, and it’s funny they’re pretending like a Philadelphia Judge wasn’t just convicted by DOJ of being paid money to add votes to voting machines for democrats. 🙃 This video is propaganda with 2 people of the same how shall I say… “group”… pretending to be rational thinkers

No. I will never be civil or compromise with a republican

A civil conversation does not begin with one person blatantly lying about the other like Maher did.

Yes 🕊

Agreed

We absolutely do. ReasonTV sponsors civil debates on things like capitalism vs socialism and winner gets a candy. It feels human, a chance to learn what they think. The Dems that haven't run away from the party refuse to debate or even listen to anyone who disagrees. Bill has come a long way the last 2 yrs because he's not one that takes a team and follows them to hell and when everything went sideways he questioned it. Neither is Ben.

bill maher is pretty rightwing on some issues, ben shapiro & him are anti-muslim & opposed to Palestinian rights

Except they both used debunked half baked points

@@Elphin89 True. But the spirit of the conversation and the civility in which it was carried out is the real takeaway, for me.

I don't think Ben really thinks sea walls are a solution though. He's smart enough to realise this, but he has to cater to his base because he explicitly portrays himself as a Republican.

ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-HD25uQXvxSQ.html Finally it's here .

I mean he did call democrats out on them changing before.

He is part of why they went nuts.

@@tylergrellner5139 has he called them out for when they backed Stacy Abrams in her claims about her election loss? How about calling out the numerous democrats and media companies, who have incited protests outside of judges homes? Which there's a law against.. Or the fact a man was arrested and charged with attempted murder for wanting to kill kavanaugh? How about calling out people like Maxine Waters, who incited people to attack the supporters of political opponents? Has he called out anything more than the silly shit like gender stuff?

He's a propagandist. Soros backed constitutional destructionist.

True 👍

I would watch that.

Would be amazing for the country. Needed so so so so badly

So..you think this is possible with majory, gossar, ...?

yeah, without his audience laugh track, Bill Maher is quite civil

No, it's not unfortunately. One side is completely off the rails and the other knows it and is too polite with this whole "credit to both for sitting down" bullshit.

@@Intangible_Jack Right. We shouldn't be praising people for doing what they should already be doing. You are not a superhero for being civilized during a conversation. You are, however, a uncivilized individual if you do the opposite.

@@Intangible_Jack It's a good first step in the right direction? Have you ever tried to have a civil conversation with a hardcore believer in green energy and climate change? People so hardcore in their beliefs are more often than not, unwilling to see any other point of view, thus turning the whole conversation into a circular debate that goes nowhere fast and usually ends with one or the other getting pissed off and spouting nonsense at the top of their lungs.

@@DetroitSoul it's not a circular debate when one side refuses to see any potential views from the other...it means they're too stupid to have known this fact from the beginning...go ahead and try that shit with a religious person and see where it gets you. One side is a cult now, the other has grown tired of debating radicals.

@@Intangible_Jack finally someone says it lol. Only “conservatives” will give credit to republicans sitting around doing nothing while the left runs our country into the ground

My view too. The fact he's willing to sit and talk makes me feel like we have an ally in him. As its been said, the Left has pushed so far Left that classic Liberals are starting to look Conservative.

Agreed!

I've seen the whole discussion. He comes across as someone you could agree to disagree on some issues with, and agree on others. Until....., the conversation went over Trump, after which raging TDS erupted. As in literal almost frothing at the mouth. Bill has got it bad. I reckon the only reason he sounds reasonable now is because Trump is not in office but Biden is, and he is now free to let go of his TDS and notice how f***ed up the Democrats have become.

It surprise a lot of people here, but most liberals are like this. Sadly, they aren't the ones being glorified by the MSM and getting popular on Twitter. That's partly on us, too. Conservatives and centrists always share the crazy progressives and laugh at how insane they are, but that just draws all eyes to them. We should stop giving them the attention and give it instead to liberals like Bill, here, that are willing to have real, productive conversations.

He does fine (for a liberal) until someone mentions Trump. Then, he's back to being a complete and utter liberal loon.

Bill is very good at calling out his own party if you ever watch him he does it consistently and admits that some of them are crazy to

It took him until this year to figure out the woke movement wasn't just a figment of "paranoid Conservatives" imaginations. He, like most celebrities, is out of touch. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad he sees the truth of the current left agenda. But him took him 6-7 years to get there. Also he still firmly believes that Republican's are "anti-democracy." That's just simple buffoonary. So I guess he'll come to the conclusion that's total BS around 2030. Whatever, Bill.

They literally boarded the entire country up in anticipation of a Trump win, think about it…

“They” as in everyone everywhere

He proposed that the economy be destroyed to get President Trump out of power, and here we are. Shapiro is cool with that because Shapiro is making bank off all thee political division.

Yah, Democrat, all feelings

@𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐚 𝐖𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐧? - Available Here 🍥 I wouldn't even say he's optimistic....I think he's just naive. Optimistic has a chance of happening.

the problem is during trumps campaign and presidency politicians learned they dont actually have to get anything done to stay in power, now they just propose bills that look good to the base and that they know the other side will vote down out of spite and then they can blame it on the other side. The addition of social media the last 2 elections has made this easy for any nut job to win office. I live in a small town in Texas, Just 5 miles north the conservative Mayor in pilot point was charged with molesting a minor. I could take up all the trump talking points, and run hard on a platform of stopping child abuse and trafficking and flood face book and twitter and have a good shot at winning. Look at what is happening with Dr. OZ, millionaire TV fraud wants to be Governor of a state he doesnt live in for power.

@Tigersilly he would be a perfect HOA president, he has that sneaky way about him.

@Tigersilly electing someone based of mythology and religious fantasy is a horrible idea, america was built off of the idea of freedom of religous persecution. The idea of someone forcing views based off of a 2000 year old fairy tale with zero evidence is a scary world. You might want to move to the middle east, their values fit right in with the bible.

@Tigersilly tell your god to have his ministers, pastors, and preachers stop raping and molesting kids next. He is realy slacking off. Tell him to get his act together, some all powerfull god.

True, and about a third of the world lives there, so they are major players

What a nation does to their captives of war is the standard measure for its humanitarian philosophy. So… think about that for a minute when discussing China, India, Russia etc.

He understood. But then he pivoted to Mars to avoid the conversation.

Some of your BS is just manufactured by social media. The open borders have never been closed. NEVER! and never will be. Abortion was decided by the republican and democrats now you get Christian on us? It is all about FREEDOM.

The open border resides only in your skull

Biden has the same strict border policy from trump era still in place. Defund the police and court packing are just radical left slogans that have not and will never be put in place under a moderate Democrat like Biden. And even the abortion activists don’t support “carefree” abortions as the health of the mother is always considered.

@@peanut2us are you that slow to think when the term open borders is mentioned that has anything to do with the actual check points? It's the policy of letting people in without a legitimate right or reason. And when you mention abortion, why did you feel the end to defend it? Do you feel women and men should be allowed to go around promoting the act of not being responsible enough to use protection, wait for marriage, do it with a partner you'll be with forever etc. That's exactly why people feel they so whatever they want. You start chipping away at personal responsibility, morlas, etc you end up with horrible humans. Just look at the dems.

@@tanishazoa138 When I speak about the borders always being there because of d the fact that the Federal Government use them to flood drugs into our country in order to fight a war I ignore the illegals crossing the border personally. When I speak of pro-life vs pro-choice I ignore all the rhetoric if it excludes FREEDOM. It is none of my bussiness or anyones else for that matter just an individual and God. We are not that well in line with morality on many levels certainly not in our lifetime. When we have the Republicans who have not had a White House with integrity since Eisenhower we have no place to criticize the Democrats. If the stories are true nature has destroyed all of humanity except people on a boat built on dry land. If the story is true God destroyed Solomon and Gomorrah because there was not one virtuous person.

wow, you still don't understand that those two things are not mutually exclusive?

A republic is a representative democracy, though. Right?

@@gtugland Yes, it is, with checks and balances. That's why we're trying to preserve it, unlike the Dems who are trying to dismantle it and turn it into straight majority rule.

I'm glad several people pointed out to you what a silly comment this is

True, there is a difference between the 2. We started out as a republic, but are slowly evolving incrementally into a democracy

Exactly! We need more one on one conversations like this than in front of an audience where both sides are looking for cheers.

Yes Yes Yes!!! I could sit and listen to these two bounce around ideas for hours and hours and never get bored. People think Mahr is some raging liberal. He gave KellyAnne her start and helped launch Coulter as well. They are all friends going way back. He's done a lot to promote the discourse in this country.

I'm a classic liberal (pro-2A/pro-choice) and I think these abstract conversations are much easier to be had with conservatives. Modern liberals are all about purity tests with no ability to self-reflect or debate their viewpoints without it turning into a shouting match. It's really strange because I remember it being the polar opposite 30 years ago. Liberals were the ones who were open to discussion. These days, they don't want you to challenge status quo by asking questions. They even have a term for it, "sea lioning". I blame the DNC for fostering and weaponizing ignorance over the last 20 years.

@@jimm1387 I think there's an element of truth to what you said. I would also add that modern liberals are far more trigger happy to cancel you based upon an opposing view. I'm talking about people in your day to day life here, not a media personalities. I would also add that conservatives have gotten far more extreme and insulting. The whole snowflake and libtard thing is well out of hand. It's their go-to strategy thanks to the former President's penchant for immediately launching into personal insults. Conservatives used to be far more civilized. I'm an independent since 2008. It was tremendously freeing. I no longer care about parties. I care about issues. Both parties disgust me with equal measure.

@@DG-mk2nr Weakest coup ever with grandmas wandering into the capital building. I disavow all hostile actions taken that day, but the evidence for widespread coup attempt is just not there. I will concede that there was likely small groups of organized people but they would not be able to overthrow the whole government. I'd be more suspect at the officers letting them in, perhaps when large assemblies of our government get together for big events where large groups of protestors assemble, there should be more boots on the ground defending/observing instead of a skeleton crew who open the doors wide for them to enter like an invitation. (And I do recognize the possibility that they opened the doors to save themselves, again the solution would be have a larger security detail). Ideally you wouldn't need a large security detail for such events, but we live in non-ideal times, if there are threats abound one must meet them with appropriate response, not kneel in defeat because "it shouldn't be required". That'll be all, it was a retarded protest, this happens often when people assemble in one place with frustration in the air - I cite the summer of 2020 all across america. A mob of people is a hivemind, in the moment people don't think and follow the herd. It was not as big as coup, it was bad but there was never a world where this led to anything like a successful coup in my mind, and if it did it would be the fault of those securing the event - prepare for what is possible not for what you wish to happen.

No he doesn't & eff him. Trump took every legal avenue to try to get a fair vote when he was actually robbed. All we wanted was a thorough investigation, but the democrat run states refused to comply. And tell me... Exactly how much proof is needed to admit an election is compromised? Not hundreds or a hundred thousand votes? There is tons of evidence of tampering with the votes. There are tons of compromised situations caught on tape. The 2020 election was a farce. Trump did not incite the riots, nor opened the door for the trespassers to enter. The FBI found that there was no plan to riot in the capitol. It was a spontaneous event that occurred when people that knew they were cheated reacted in kind. It's called civil disobedience. No one was armed or hurt anyone. The term insurgence is ridiculous overkill. AOC claiming she almost died at the mobs hands when she was not even in the same building shows how low & degenerate Dems will go to inflate a situation to back their narrative.

Bill does not get any info that is not left

Agreed. A broken clock's right twice a day. That doesn't make it a reliable time piece.

Republicans and Democrats, so sure they're right and that their ideology is correct. I think that is the problem, which means you are also part of the problem because you can't focus on the actual problem of corruption in government, at the workplace, and the degree of inequality as a result of that corruption at the expense of many.

Bill is an old lazy fool who stoped caring about the truth a long time ago and just reserved himself to saying “the Democrats are great because fuck religion and fuck Republicans for liking religion and apparently they don’t care about America or freedom because I’m too stupid to pay attention to their point of view.” That is exactly bill Maher in a nutshell

Him trying to qualify voting for a Republican by saying “i would vote for Republican if basically they weren’t a Republican” is not actually saying you would vote for Republican. Its like me saying I’d vote for a Democrat if Democrats weren’t psychotic far leftists that didn’t care about any truth or anybody but themselves. Not gonna happen

Not really, no where near part of the actual problem.

Ben also put a spotlight on the shortsighted thinking that prevails on the right, when he admitted many on the right don't believe that climate change is even occurring. Or did you miss that part?

He probably conveniently missed that part cause it doesnt help his argument.

Well...what if you tax carbon to provide the investment in non-carbon based energy? Less loss in our systems of electrical transmission Smaller Nuclear systems that can be located close to need and so don't require massive transmission infrastructure Better run of river generators Better batteries We've painted ourselves into a corner The only way I see out is with a shit load of engineering..and only 3 out of 100 of those solutions will probably pan-out So you need lots of seed money in And then...you might make some of that back on the solutions that are successful ICE made a lot of people a lot of money in their day

@RU-vid Sucks ass yeah they were...the facts are out there..just look them up...it started with global cooling...then in 70s it changed to global warming...according to the so- called experts the earth should already be gone....if you believe in the climate hoax you're just lazy and haven't done any research.

Lets throw some Green towards the carbon Tax... how do you think a solar panel would fare? How do you think "Tesla" would fare? Gets go the opposite extreme... Iron without coal - you really cant have one without the other, Add a carbon tax and like many left leaning ideas... it ends up adding to the already high cost. I am not saying nothing should be done... but I am saying is the whole idea just has not been thought through yet... Flip the stitch today, and when the sun goes down... the lights go out - we are years and years from Solar and Wind and Batteries to get us through the night - and the question bares asking...

Even Democracy has lost its meaning its only used by the left to get what they want and that's usually another move closer to the edge of the cliff.

I'd wager that most students now would have no clue about what you're even talking about. But they could all tell you how racist America is.

So you’re admitting this country is anti democracy?

Exactly, the founding fathers hated the concept of democracy because they pulled a lot of their ideas from ancient Rome and ancient Greece. Ancient Rome was a Republic and thrived, while ancient Greece was a democracy and ate itself very quickly. The only reason why liberals use this term is because it sounds like the name of their party that they support, and also the word democracy brings up a lot of emotional and poetic connotations in people. It's an easier rallying cry.

Why didn't they find the people who firebombed the capitol in the summer of love, instead of chasing after the people who took an unscheduled tour through the white house.

Im a hard conservative, but I still highly believe we should conserve our beautiful planet, I don’t think that we should just toss out our carbon fuels but I highly think we should decrease the usage, our great geniuses like Elon Musk have been making this switch easier and easier each day so I think we should follow the good old 3 Rs Reduce Reuse Recycle. What I hate about Democrats is that they are always exploiting these values to gain votes and when they are elected they dont do a single thing, like sleepy Joe for example 😡

22 years ago the papers were full that the Arctic ice will be gone in 2012 due to climate change !! we are 10 years later and the ice cap is still there !

What is the Mars solution? You can't terraform a planet that has no atmosphere and no magnetic field to protect an atmosphere even if it had one. This isn't Total Recall. Are we mining Mars for something? I'm all for going to Mars for the sake of science and the spirit of exploration, but talking about Mars like it's a place where human will go or live in any quantity is a step below Flat Earth as far as stupidity. That's just how it is.

You aren't meant to go green; you're meant to go without.

Prevent what exactly? The term as it stands is a highly politicized term that is so broad and vague as to be ultimately pointless at this stage, that's why I dislike the very term 'climate change', since it's a catch-all term people can use to shut down discussion regarding very specific areas of concern. What are we talking about here, air pollution? Sea pollution? Changes in temperature? Where? How? Air pollution is a major cause of concern in China and India and is unacceptable in certain cities, not so much in most of the developed world. Sea pollution is through the roof in most of China (not in a few select places to the West, from what I gather), not so much in most of the West. Specific cases like the air pollution Maher mentioned are a serious cause for concern, for sure, and we should deal with them on a case-by-case basis. When people use the fearmongering term 'climate change', however, it's often associated with a general post-apocalyptic narrative that the world will end in a few years if we don't shut down everything and push a multi-trillion dollar spending bill out toot-sweet. The reality is a lot more localized and the consequences largely dependent on the level of development of the affected area.

Hmmm, you will never see it on television. Don't forget that television is 99% left leaning.

I wouldn't call Bill "intelligent".

@@emmyrose333 smarter than some. Like for example I think he sounds far more intelligent than Biden and Harris both. But that’s my opinion and I’m sure plenty of people on the left think people on the right aren’t smart. Maybe they don’t think Ben is smart. (I wholeheartedly disagree but that’s just opinions.) I just am happy to hear some dialogue back and fourth

Neither of them are intelligent. Bill talks slow, Ben talks fast. That’s it. It’s just we have too many idiots on air, so these two people actually look smart in comparison.

@@emmyrose333 I wouldn’t call Ben smart either

Reasonable liberals would-As would reasonable republicans. I think both sides currently have rotten cores that are completely swayed by money and little else- but both sides get so twisted up in their own nonsense that they care more about winning than what’s actually true and right. It’s the individuals who can sit down and discuss things rationally and admit that the other side has valid points while asserting their own with an open mind. Changing your mind when proven wrong is a good thing and should be applauded. I loved this discussion and would love to see more of them.

You're part of the problem

Honestly I just think both sides are really really stupid I just vote Republican cause we still love god and America.

There seems to be two types of Republicans now, the RINOs and patriots

Idk i feel like he was pretty on point with his statements. The republican party is too hell bent on blasting democrats and not saving America. I mean trump literally divided the nation with how ignorant he was. And I would call myself a conservative but not a republican because the party right now is a populist party not a republican party.

@@dominicdeangelis4530 how is Trump responsible for dividing the nation? Lol. Seems to me that the democrats couldn’t get over the fact that he beat them on the first try, so they did everything they could to lie and spread disinformation about him and the Republican Party. You’re no “conservative.” Lol. You may fraudulently claim to be, but if it walks like a leftist, talks like a leftist, and parrots propagandistic garbage like a leftist, it’s a LEFTIST.

@@dominicdeangelis4530 what in your mind made Trump ignorant? His demeanor? The dude is way smarter than you think

True, and I wish Maher could bring more of this open-mindedness to his own show. He _does_ show open-mindedness there, but often he sides with some of his worst guests, and this is infuriating.

Fvck that guy. He said he’d be ok will millions of Americans losing their jobs as long as trump wasn’t re-elected.

Yes but who gives a damn… he’ll record another show 5 minutes from now calling all white folks racist!

This is only possible when one talks and stops for the other to talk. Not possible for people that just keels talking and dont want to listen.

@@marechalrommel yea and it’s a co-operative act. If one person just wants to tear down the others point of view and just make it sound as stupid as they can, there’s not much the other person can do.

It is hard for me to have a conversation like this because I am being called a racist, a science denier, a homophobe, a ...

@@barrythehatchet1380 your not wrong that can happen, I try to just stop talking to people who are unable to listen. Who wants to talk to someone that only wants to lay you out as the scum of the earth?

Bingo

Can't we all just hate each other better

see that kind of thinking is what caused this in the first place, arent we all americans on the same side? there should be no political parties, only americans all in the same boat, then we might get somewhere, only then will serious talks happen, this division of the public is just what a dictator would want.

And Biden was a Knee-Jerk reaction to Trump.

I agree. The new world is the rich man's experiment. Let's stick to Europe, Asia and Africa. Screw the Americas.

That’s a democrat thing…

Those aren’t people

@@boomds5602, the definition of “people” is human beings generally. If not human, what species do you propose they are?

@@Garypaulable ........Maher is just another demonic puppet. ....The Demonic Left are now fully in charge in the West through their demonic puppets. ....the World has always been held in the hands of the evil ones, a hidden group behind the scenes. What is different now is that the good people of the World, which provided a counter balance, has gone into decline as institutions are taken over in their entirety, particularly the educational system whereby the indoctrination of the young by evil hands has reached a zenith. The Restrainer is currently being removed.

@@freedom3594 probably zenu from Scientology

I want ZERO common ground with this womanizer dishonest POcrap bill maher. This guy has done so much damage and now that his reality is being implemented he wants to pretend he's a voice of reason. Anything short of ABSOLUTE liberty and turning the government into our whipping boy I will never support. You NEVER compromise with liberty, that' what Mark Levin says and men like me implement. Ben's attempt at pretending there is some kind of dialogue when they are usurping civilization and could care less about elections or decorum or laws. Prepare for war and ignore people like ben who are deceiving you into inaction. Oh and PS, ben has no clue about climate change, total bs. Love how he agrees with the IPCC despite the fact they lied about all their data and numbers. Ben is not that smart. Its sad. Any call for man made climate change says that we have as much effect as the 50 other MORE MAJOR elements to the issue including the damn sun and the Malenkovic cycle, we cannot tilt the planet - sorry ben. Basically you utter the words "man made climate change" you are saying "we must kill off humanity to save a rock".

Republicans can't handle the truth. They lean to stubbornness

I used to talk to dems politely even when they would start yelling and were always first to cross the line. Since Biden is in office I started hating dems more than anything, once I find out neighbor or coworker is dem I stop talking to them

They are both very intelligent who have different views yet share some in common. They are capable of civil discourse while being able to politely disagree. Your right, we need more of this. ! Unfortunately, the intellect and maturity of many folks prevent it.

I say the Democratic Socialist Party members get jailed, like the January 6 people.
