I agree, however if you think about what this really is "an epitaph for the news that is current at the end of each week. It's just a wrap up for each week's important news event; and even some weeks there isn't enough time, like when Bill has to FLY many miles to a live show, in Vegas, or even back east or northern California. Yeah I wish OT was longer but more than that I wish I could get a couple of questions to ask the guests.
@@pakpala1 I am not sure why you say this and since I don't know why, I have to say I totally disagree with your comment. Maybe if you were to elaborate on your point-of-view here I quite possibly would come up to your mindset , challenge, challenge,challenge!!!!!
I kinda see your point but I can't see how making it, say, a guaranteed 15 minutes (which would allow discussions a little more breathing room, especially where there are five other people to involve, like this one) would really eat into Bill being able to catch a flight, since the questions are audience generated and they're all responding off the cuff (i.e. no script writing etc). Sometimes Overtime has been about 4 minutes long - they might as well not bother. I think if it were at least a 10 minute minimum, we wouldn't feel quite so short-changed all the time. It's always interesting to hear (generally) intelligent and/or funny people discuss the news and politics.
Schiff raves about a Russian election interference they can't find all while Donna Brazille admitted to election meddling in the DNC to help Clinton beat Bernie? This show is comedy gold. Clueless...
@@albatros12 so 13 empty chairs of Russians were indicted which made the whole Mueller investigatuion look even dumber than it already is between Fusion GPS, FBI brass putting their thumb on an election, and a fake dossier. Throw in Brazille actually DID rig the Primary for Clinton over Bernie, this show is laughably dumb...
McCaskill would still be a Senator if she had run a populist campaign instead of a centrist campaign. We ran a centrist against Trump in 2016 and she lost.
Do you live in the midwest? I am a born and raised, 50 something, midwestener and you cannot really believe what you wrote or are ignorant, if you live in the midwest.
That's right. California, the 5th largest economy on earth. Where we solve our problems with innovation. Where everybody wants to visit cause the climate is wonderful. Where the people are actually cared for...
@@reallyimpolitecompany9000 third world Mexifornia has the highest poverty rate in the nation, highest welfare rate in the nation, ranked 8th highest state for GDP when adjusted per capita. Ranked 50th out of 50 for small business, 46th in schools and 49th for infrastructure. It's a dump, a BIG dump. There is a reason why thousands of businesses leave every single year!
Claire McCaskill demonstrates how the Democratic leaders will cost us yet another Presidential election. Her pragmatism is just another way of saying keep everything the same.
@@jonm7888 Bernie is too old. Also the Dems fucked him over already. He would have beat Trump, but the corporate Democrats felt like they owed Clinton. Goes to show that neither party is for the people. They both care only about protecting their own little corrupt circles.
I think she is a weak speaker in general, of course i am biased about the DNC thing, but she does not look convincing in making most of her points. It looks disingenuous.
Claire McCaskill is the one who is still trying to decide between pancakes and Waffles, Democrats need to stand strong and not worry if the Republican Base LIKES them, just do the right thing.
Where do you live, Gm Dave? Unless you live in a predominately red state, you really don't know of what you speak. We have to listen to everyone. She knows what we are up against in the midwest, as do I, and ignoring them, will NOT help us to win.
@@yokie52 We have heard enough angry Dismissive scepticism to know that Republicans have nothing positive to offer, they have been given too much credit for far too long
I agree, I think one of the reasons she lost is because she tried too hard to be a centrist and waffles on many policy ideas and tenets and it cost her ultimately in a red state
Thanks for cheering me up Bill Maher you've got the best show going right now. Your wit and humor surpasses all the others. I'm not really a fan of people but you must be a fun guy to smoke a couple joints with. Keep up the great work. Let me know when you're hiring grips LOL
kickenerbutt exactly when I hear so called moderates say come together, I feel like it’s come together so we can continue to get rich by the wealthy donors.
@monokhem Oh, I'm sorry.. .I didn't realize that having a "For-Profit Private Health Insurance" system was "in the middle" When literally every other industrialized nation doesn't have one... Forgive me for my belief that America is better than having a system that is proven both ineffectual and expensive. :|
@monokhem what's stupid is trying to listen to: the person who gave questions predebate to Hillary (who lost to Trump) a deadbeat do nothing (unless you like corporate deregulation and other republican shit) ex senator who lost their race and Adam Schiff who's job is to undermine the will of the people in order to further the agenda of the Dems donors. Call me stupid all you want but I'm not the one trying to get four more years.
Lol it is funny. And the reason is even funnier! The name "Putin" would be pronounced like "putain" in French, which means "whore/bitch/slut". So to avoid calling him President Whore, the French purposely mispronounce his name as "poutine".
Great show BUT Bill needs to slow his roll. He kept cutting Bernard off while he was in the middle of explaining interesting points. BM didn’t do this with the others. Wanted to hear Bernard’s response about the 5 kings. 😼
Why oh why does a national embarrassment like BHL, that everybody knows not to take seriously, is still invited to great shows like this one ? He is a good talker, he says a few interesting things, like that weird friend of the family you sometimes see after he went back from a trip abroad... but no professor of philosophy or history or economy in high school or university has ever recommended BHL to his or her students! And I am French, I usually love to see a pompous fellow French anywhere...
alij75 ... some people do, and some don’t. Some people like BHL and some don’t. I don’t think we can speak for a whole country. But if you think he’s a joke, I respect your opinion.
@@TrumpFanNetwork2 say the double loser replying to the" loser”....who supports the biggest loser leader in human history...biggest loser...not WORST...just literally biggest.... literally...he could be a bigger loser since his fatass is "running" toward a heart attack🤣🤣🤣
@@webbie7503 ,I know, I detest traitors. That is why i hate trump so much. I can forgive a lot, but not turning against your own country and being buddies with dictators!.
Nope. The corporate masters at HBO would never allow that. No different than Tucker Carlson: A millionaire funded by billionaires. That’s how this corporate con works. Fox News blames all the problems on immigrants and minorities in general. Then the Bill Maher and MSNBC crowd blames Russia and Trump. Then the two sides go back and forth: “It’s immigration that causes all our problems” “Immigrants are great. It’s Russia that’s the problem” “Russia? Did Russia collect all the welfare?” “Maybe people wouldn’t be on welfare if Trump!” The goal of the mainstream media sources is not to discuss the problems; but to frame the conversation that is allowed to be had on the problems. They don’t want people to understand the solutions; because first they would understand that people like Bill Maher and his elite class of wealth are the problem.
If someone from another country, comes to your country and knowingly breaks your law - do you send them back, or expect them to face to face criminal proceeding, and take whatever the relevant sentencing, is?
Looks like Russia and/or gop are now sending their trolls to patrol RU-vid comments. To everyone else, recognize anyone posing as a progressive or Bernie supporter that tries driving wedges between the broad coalition of people that make up the "left" is probably not who they say they are.
moongoddess256 yes how dare someone critique your precious corporate, establishment democrats! God forbid someone calls them out for their failed politics. All they do is try and reach a cross the isle AND EVERY TIME Republicans say fuck you, they get nothing done and then voters get fed up and vote em out. Ban corporate PAC money, have uncorrupted, strong, true progressives that actually fight for real change.
The US is a "reluctant empire"? *"Oops! we didn't mean to overthrow your government. Anyway, I guess you might as well adopt these trade liberalizing policies and accept this IMF loan"* - US Government
You are more right than you think. He is despise in France, real full of shit. Every time, I see him, the word mépris comes to mind. I can not believe that Bill invited such a '' tas de fumier''. A real ''arriviste''
I'm not French, but Lévy is a regular target of notorious pie thrower Noël Godin (who's also thrown pies at people like Bill Gates). He's been "pied" at least 7 times by Godin, and also by Serbian leftist activists.
This segment needs to be longer. Maher needs to broaden his thought process because he is what everyone calls "establishment" and he needs to be more progressive for this show to remain relevant and interesting. It's been the edginess of the show that keeps people coming back and that edge is getting dull. Like Adam Schiff was alluding to...just because an idea seems impossible doesn't mean nothing should be done. Maher is one to say "that's a stretch too far" or "that's never going to happen" and no one is interested in that limited way of thinking. Look at Medicare for all. When Sanders first started talking about it people acted like he was going to destroy the world. Now, it's become a conversation with some real potential.
Yes by all means stay stuck in the same place for decades and then wonder why everyone has moved on without out. I would say fuck you but that wouldn't be kind so I wont say it. @monokhem
@justmemadison You sound like a facile progressive--where does Maher say nothing should be done? He has been advocating for the environment when most new progressives were getting baths from mommy in the sink. Progressive ideas must be rooted in reality--you present big ideas understanding they are starting points and you have to work to make them a reality--to do that you work with those who are involved in the sausage-making of the political system. What do you think Sanders has been doing in the Senate? You think he is a lone wolf? He's made plenty of compromises. Maher calls bullshit on people who have blinders on and just want to wish things into existence. Maher was talking about universal health care years ago. Maybe you missed that.
@@IAmHoTSHoTzz his putting disgraced hacks on, Claire lied about the whole chair throwing bullshit, Donna giving hillary questions in advance in the debates, both total hacks that have no following
Is not only Bill. Why all these shows keep inviting McCaskill to ask her for tips of how to win in red states? The woman is litterally a loser! She is a loser that lost her election by a wide margin because she posed as a republican light against a real republican. Why vote for the phony when you can get the real item? At this point you would be well advised of looking at McCaskill and doing the opposite. I suppose that in the end being connected in the Washington bubble pays.
@@marlonbryanmunoznunez3179 they only do it because she will bad mouth progressives simply as that, its obvious Claire has no real following, or really anything worth while to say
It's REAL FUNNY for Claire to say we need to come together. She, only a short time ago, called AOC a shiny object. That's not how you bring a party together.
It's called loyalty. Bernie created, and proved, what the majority of Americans wanted back in 2016, but the DNC wouldn't allow it. Now, it's 2019, and those people are still there, but more of them now than ever. Trump doesn't stand a chance. Revolution baby, revolution. FEEL THE BERN YET?
@@AnexoRialto because people see how all establishment people come out of the woodworks to constantly terming to downplay and/or smear bernie. Washington Post seems to be trying to break its own previous anti Bernie hit job record of 16 articles in 16 hours.
It is possible to have diverse concerns and opinions, while also having core values, without compromise. The inability to reconcile with that idea is the reason this country struggles so much.
@@Draigon18 I do. And I still don't see how that should keep her from speaking about a topic she is well versed in. As long as she isn't rehired to the same position, or didn't escape with no penalty whatsoever, I'm fine with a person being able to work in another capacity. Life shouldn't end for someone who made a mistake.
@@myhandlewastaken to u she lost no credibility for being a lieing cheater? her life need not end lol. she just doesnt deserve a public platform on which to lend her voice on political topics anymore. y would u even take it to the extreme to assume i believed her life needed to END? like calm ur tits.
We all have to use our own BRAIN! We've all gotten used to being fed information like cattle at the trough. I taught my children know the difference between what is fact, and what is opinion, and what is a lie.
Social media cannot be regulated at the level people seem to want. Educating people that social media is the worst place to get information is the only thing that can seriously impact the issue. I think it's too late.
@@nomnommoo Google Tulsi and you'll find some. I'm not your personal investigative reporter. If you don't know how to use Google, get off the internet.
Oh Yeah? Has nothing to do with Google search. You made an outrageous claim; and are being asked to back up such a specious statement. If you can’t simply and concisely and easily prove your point and require somebody has to go read somebody else’s opinion.... then you don’t have your own thoughts or opinions and lean on others to tell you what to think. You can’t even take the time to learn your given opinion.... pretty sad
Who do you think runs these giant media companies? Liberals? lol They are all filthy rich so yeah they side with Republicans. No wealthy person votes for a Dem. Maybe only the moderate Dems which are basically your classic Republican. Always looking out for corporations and the rich.
@@roseviolet1 I going to assume what you just said was a joke. I know what bill said was hyperbole mixed in with propaganda, but honey please do not be that uninformed. Because you are roseviolet1, I'm just gonna let you off with that cognitive dissonance of yours. If you think Tom cook, Bezos, gates, Murdoch, Disney, time Warner, Zuckerberg, Dorsey and the bunch are Republicans, bless your heart.
