He is getting paid. I did audience work when I first moved to LA. We got minimum wage, in cash, to fill seats. There were people who were paid more to “encourage bigger audience reactions” and lemme tell ya, they were obnoxiously loud. It’s show business, folks.
Michael Eric Dyson stating that you should protest without demonizing the other side is pretty rich. Anybody else see his debate with Jordan Peterson, where the best he could do was to call him a "mean white man"?
"We've had classic -- if i can call it -- huckstering, snake oil, pulpit talk." The look on Dyson's face proves that Fry touched nerve and was too close to the truth.
People aren't "uncomfortable" with comedy, they're uncomfortable with what the ICJ (international criminal justice court) is a " plausible genocide". Also, let's keep in mind that ANTIFA stands for anti fascist. Only on Bill Maher could you condemn people defending themselves from violent attacks by "proud boys", Boogaloo boys &all the other white Christian nationalists?!?!?!
I really appreciated the thoughtful and respectful exchange between Michael Eric Dyson and Bill Maher on this topic. I think in some ways they were talking past one another, as Dyson is calling for a moral paradigm where Palestinian and Israeli lives are equally valued while Maher is questioning the realism of that paradigm in light of the threat of Hamas (which values neither Israeli nor Palestinian lives) which needs to be eradicated and can’t be without civilian casualties. This kind of exchange is one we need more of on tv, where most media is either reflexively anti-Israel or pro-Israel without asking the deeper questions these two do here.
I think Maher's position was: historically our country has gone to war and accepted civilian causalities as part of a larger goal. I'll take Maher's position for him for the sake of a deeper discussion and understanding. During WWII, Germany's goal was rid the world of Jews and take over Europe and beyond. The US engaged to stop them. We (US) bombed the hell out of German cities including: Berlin, Dresden, Hamburg and numerous others. Obviously there were tremendous civilian casualties, but it was in service of a larger goal to prevent Nazi world dominance and the elimination of Jews. Do you think we should have chosen a different strategy in order to protect the hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians? Were Americans war criminals? My father was one of the active soldiers who fought to achieve the military goals. Should the US soldiers be considered accessories in war crimes? What would have happened if the US and allies didn't take this approach? How would you further argue your case?
"What war did we ever have, where they were only killing the soldiers?" ~ Bill Maher That one comment stood out to me. Was there ever a better condemnation of the whole idea of 'war'?
Yes, people condemning Israel selectively should acknowledge that whether necessary or not, the nature of war is heinous. If you have a qualm with what Israel is doing, maybe argue about the necessity rather than its nature.
Protesters need to be accountable, and proud of what they are protesting, NOT concealing their identity behind a face mask/scarf. If you don't want to be seen and identified for what you believe in, stay home.
It's my Dad's quote,"There are no winners in war,only Survivors." Dad was in the Army for thirty years and was in Medivac from the early fifties. He knew what the true face of war looked like.
Very true statement! I was in Vietnam and it took me numerous years to 'get over it' at the idea of killing naive children to protect aircraft. To look at todays youth and their eagerness to use violence to achieve their goals shows their ignorance of the horrors of war and to use no touch devices such as drones to do the dirty work, is taking the regretfulness out of war.
@@latinexus who wants a 2 state solution if your neighbour is a deathcult that just wants to kill the Jews and to destroy Israel? Who wants a 2 state solution with an ideology that is fake as the palestinian identity was just created to destroy Israel? Who wants a 2 state solution with someone that does not want a 2 state solution themselves as the ''palestinians'' never wanted a 2 state solution, they want a 1 state solution with a state called Palestine with no Jews in it?
He's a low budget version of Cornel West. I could listen to Dr. West talk for an hour, but Dyson makes me want to turn off the TV in less than a minute.
I called him out on that on Twitter last year and he got pretty upset at me. I said he talks in such a singsong way I don’t know what his point is half the time. He’s the perfect example of someone who should never be in charge of resolving a conflict. He refuses to live in reality so he won’t make the hard choices. He’ll stay pure on the sidelines criticizing those who do and get the necessary work done. The Palestinians could have had peace and their own country decades ago if they just accepted the amount of land they have and build it into a paradise for themselves. Give up the “we must kill the infidels” suicide pact.
if I put a political term on Michael Eric Dyson; if some people think that he is a "wild goose chase/scavenger hunt" communicator: his rapper name should be called: DJ or M.C. Fili--Busta (Rhymes): In my spare time, I sell Kirby's and Dyson shop, wet or dry (h)vacs (vacuum cleaner) because people thing how I communicate with people suck...

Finally! It's been months since anyone has been on this show to dispute Maher's snark (and smacking mouth) regarding any Israel/Gaza topic (history, apartheid, war crimes, protests, strategy, solution...). It's as tho there's been a vetting of anyone touching Maher's third rail here- to include the audience. Thank you to the decent folks who got Dyson onto this stage! Many MANY Thanks to Dr Dyson!
Bibi is on video saying he had supported Hamas with briefcases full of cash so that he could use them as the bad guy he knew 6 months before that this was happening and by the way we have video of them parachuting in they did not have fire weapons so that was IDF that left the burning cars typical they definitely have not tried to save their hostages they've tried to bomb them every single second of the day
They knew the attack was going to happen and Isreal let happen, why do you think that is. The zionist have been caught before smuggling cash to Hamas , why do you think they did that ?
If Israel wanted to stop the tunnels, they could have tunneled under Gaza themselves, built bases and set up seismometers. Tunneled along the border and stopped the smuggling at the source. They could have not paid Hamas with cash suitcases. Could have listened to their own squad of women who watched the border of Gaza.
it's much more complicated than that and what is your point now? That they deserved 7th of October and they should not fight against Hamas and to let the Jews be slaughtered like back in the old days of the Holocaust????
@@TRINI818 those are not only lies, this is a defamation campaign from your end which should be taken to court as you deliberately are falsifying history to damage Israel and delegitimize wrongfully the state of Israel. It's like saying the Holocaust did not exist.
Traditionally, the American flag should never be hung upside down "except as a signal of dire distress in instances of extreme danger to life or property" according to the U.S Flag Code.
You've never been to a taping of a TV talk show like this, have you? The audience is coached before the show to follow the signs about the stage saying APPLAUSE, LAUGH, QUIET and a few others.
Burr would slap the sh*t out Maher like he about did the other night. He flat out humiliated Bill Maher. Maher is a virtual tard on Israel-Gaza. Israel funded Hamas.
zionism is evil. until israel stops this jennosidal behavior that they are entitled to biblical lands there will continue to be conflicts in the middle east the usa should NOT be financing this pro-zionism pro-israel pro-jennosidal behavior this needs to stop. free USA from AIPAC.
He is quoting the Hamas casualties numbers which have recently been found by the UN (!) to be twice the real number, include the Hamas terrorists, and represent a historical low in civilians : combatants killed, even in modern warfare. And the operation is extremely difficult, since urban warfare is inherently more complex, and there’s the vast tunnel system, and Hamas purposely hiding behind their civilians (in and under hospitals, schools, and private homes), and the fact of the hostages.
Can a lawyer or legal expert PLEASE explain to me why/how is it not a rule that a judge on a case must recuse themselves if the defendant before them gave them the judgeship?
It's left up to the judges discretion, if he/she can be impartial in deliberations. Which I disagree, with regardless of if they think they're impartial or not. I find most people incorrectly, think they're not homophobic or racist because they don't think people should be in jail simply for race or sexuality but ask if they're comfortable around those same people or should be equally treated by society and laws usually, that's something different entirely.
@@latinexus I suspect he'd be fine with a 2 state solution (he HAS suggested it several times in the past) if the people the "Palestinians" support for leadership were not Homicidal. Until that happens.....
This is only complained about if the judge is known to be conservative. There have been lots of cases were the judge was active in a certain area and didn't recuse him or her self. But those were liberal judges and nobody complained.
@stevegilbert8486 name one case and name the liberal judge where the judge was directly linked to the case and they didn't recuse themselves. Name the case, the judge and how they were directly linked to the case. If you can't, kindly shut up
Finally. It's taken this long for this show to have a guest who is prepared to say that the lives of Palestinians have value equivalent to that of an Israeli.
Yes, finally. Luv Bill but he is so biased toward Israel that Palestinians deaths are merely little casualties towards total annihilation of Hamas. Very sad.
Dyson got his number of Plasteline casualty wrong without understanding that the # included 15K dead terrorist's and these killed by Jihad/Hamas in Gaza (like in the case of the so claimed 500 dead in Al-Ahli hospital done by Jihad, Hamas and media wrongfully blamed Israel for it. NYT had to apologize for its mis-reporting). Even Hamas dare not to label 35K as all civilian death, neither did UN. BTW, Hamas/UN just cut the casualty numbers by half for Children and women. The problem is the wrong description of the 34K has been reported and said and used by reporters and politicians to bash Israel and make policy/legal decisions. Mis-information and ignorance is one of the most dangerous thing that threatens democracy. We need to call all quoiting Hamas numbers and criticizing Israel, and these unwittingly supporting Hamas to study the series of Israel/Hamas wars and middle east history going back at least to the Ottoman empire, And read these articles to get facts from the leading experts: m.jpost.com/israel-hamas-war/article-801461 m.jpost.com/israel-hamas-war/article-800985 www.newsweek.com/israel-has-created-new-standard-urban-warfare-why-will-no-one-admit-it-opinion-1883286
@elainehewitt6813 You mean I-can't-make-a-fucking-point-in-under-6500-words Eric Dyson? He'd still be talking now, more than a day later, if Bill hadn't called him on his bullshit.
@@mr.cooper2031 Eric Dyson's argument was clear, simple and solid: Israel should accomplished their goal of eliminating Hamas without killing that much civilians. Bill Maher's argument is that not supporting everything Israel's government is supporting Hamas.
"Do you think you know better than the Israeli Defense Force"...😮 This from the supposed conscience of American liberalism, I guess the army and government always know best and people should just shut up and not worry their pretty heads. Unbelievable, talk about horseshoe theory
It was the South Carolina gerrymander that Alito and friends defended. While they recognized it was an obvious gerrymander, they decided it wasn't racially motivated, but instead motivated by partisanship. Ridiculous! (And obscene.)
If Israel wanted to, there wouldn't be a Palestinian left. Palestinians have rejected every peace deal offered to them, and still they choose to hold onto their agenda of killing every Jew. Their death is on their hands. The "Palestinians" are not the indigenous people of that land. The Jews are and they have every right to defend their land as they see fit.

I am glad it resonated something for you.
You mean unlike Dyson who just kept spewing wordy garbage and not getting to a meaningful point in an attempt to not allow any debate? Grow up, little man; put on some big boy pants.
2 million slaughtered in Yemen. Syria, Sudan. Libya, Iraq, Somalia etc.- no one ever saw Jews slaughtering each other . It tells you a great deal about the difference between the two cultures/faiths. I have no doubt that the Yazidis and the Kurds would tell you that their women and children were slaughtered by the adherents to the prophet
And does colonialism, imperialism, and oil not play into any of this . All of the conflicts of the middle East are directly linked to the Sykes picot treaty and Balfour declaration post ww1. Blaming a religion you fail to learn about is a cop out ۔ when is the last time you saw a practicing sunni Muslim of Orthodox beliefs interviewed by Bill Maher? I can share links if you're interested to learn more. Also Islam is a religion of 2 billion people. Ratios matter. How many Jews combined are protesting netanyahu and you'll have your answer
I'd say you don't know wtf you're talking about. There is war and then there are surgical military operations. How are you going to get these guy out of their tunnels with SMO's...?
wow and you are the military expert and know what Israel should do? Hamas is embedded in everything in Gaza, above and underground, surgical here as an option is a total delusion.
You can be biased towards an opinion, but go out of your way to make something fair. EX: You want your team to win every game, but also want to watch a good game, so you make the opposition meet your team’s level. You want to watch Jordan vs Kobe, and hope Jordan wins… not Jordan vs Brian Scalabrini!
"What war did we have where we were only killing the soliders" - just because something has happened doesn't meant it's good. Targeting of civilians is a war crime. The indiscriminate bombings of Iraq, Afghanistan, and Syria have not produced beneficial outcomes for the US and have all but ensured terrorist, Islamist, and totalitarian supremacy in those regions because it engendered a fundamental distrust towards the US. The civilian massacres of the Vietnam War certainly didn't help the US win that conflict. An attack on civilians during the Gulf War by the US coalition was used by Hussein to garner support from other countries though he was thankfully unsuccessful. In World War II the Blitz didn't lead to British surrender but likewise the bombing of German urban centres did nothing but kill German civilians - it was only when military infrastructure was targeted (particularly the oil supplies for German tanks) that any ground was gained. History says we have killed civilians in wars, and it has never been helpful or justified at a strategic level, let alone a moral one. But Bill doesn't like moral nuance for all he claims other people don't see nuance when it's about things that affect him.

Too bad total hypocrite Maher couldn’t book Kelly Ann Conway every week to re-platform her and give her another chance to disseminate her alternative facts.
Well, Bill...I always agreed with you that some can't hold two thoughts in their heads at the same time. Regarding Gaza, you are having the same problem.
What would you propose for Gaza? Would you have fought the Nazi's differently than the US and our allies did? Are we war criminals due to our role in Nazi Germany during WWII? Approximately a half million civilians were killed through air raids, bombings, etc.
A Supreme Court Justice's wife is so triggered by a neighbor's yard sign to the point of treason?! What does it say about her husband, Samuel Alito?! TERM LIMITS.
The hate America crowd getting triggered by a flag being flown upside down is par for the course. These are the same people who have no problem seeing the American flag being ripped down and replaced with the Palestinian or Hamas flag. A left wing guest on Morning Joe talks about being triggered by the sight of flags she has to be comforted by the host. The left thinks that flying the flag is a sign of white supremacy. The hypocrisy is mind numbing. BTW... You would need a Constitutional Amendment to put term limits on Federal Judges including those the SCOTUS. Good luck repealing ARTICLE III of the U.S. Constitution

I know, people like Dyson just think they know everything. But the truth means nothing to many people, people wont change their minds even if they are proven wrong. People just have a narrative like Dyson that they want. like with blacks, everything is oppression and racism and thats it no matter what happens.
Bill makes fun of Vivek and then agrees with his idea of opposing and prasing that DEI is not popular....Bill you can thank Vivek for that. Even the lady in the green said exact same thing that Vivek has been saying....DEI has nothing to do with profit and private businesses...this is the main reason he started speaking against it and wrote a book about it called Woke Inc....and now it's very popular to say so. And another topic Vivek was so vehemently ahead of time and advocating was about confused kids...it was about stopping medical intervention when they are confused. Just because they are confused about their sex doesn't mean surgery to fix the problem....Vivek deserves a lot of credit!
Bill is such a slimey fuck. He had Vivek on club random and showers him with praise. Vivek was entirely respectful. Then a few weeks later, Bill calls Vivek an idiot during one of his monologues.
"War on Gaza"? Your Pals rejected UNR181 in 1947 and began a war against Israel's existence since 1948, and you support it. 2007? Israel completely withdrew from Gaza in 2005. Your Pals could have built a civil society but instead massively increased terror attacks.

Michael Eric Dyson has to be one of the most sanctimonious mouth breathers I have seen on Bills show. All he does is throw moral equivalences up and then goes into his big head and throws out big words from his mouth. Not once could he manage a concise and insightful answer or statement. Totally sucked the proper time that Nellie Bowles and Pamela Paul could have been speaking
yes, he's a complete clown. He basically said we shouldn't condemn hip hop violence towards women because doctors, lawyers, clergy, etc also abuse women, good lord what a false equivalence.

The one disturbing piece was Maher's comment basically saying we can't question the IDF's expertise and actions because they know more about war than we do. Did he use that reasoning for Covid and the scientists? Of course not. You don't just bow down to the experts. You have to be able to question power and that's what's happening here with Gaza, however you come down on the issue.

1 ) Israel hasn't occupied Gaza since 05, I'll give you the West Bank Swiss cheese carve up is a plan designed to fail 2 ) Palestinians want to be a separate state, why should Israel not treat them like they would foreigners?
