Overtime: Trace Adkins, Julia Ioffe, Jon Meacham | Real Time with Bill Maher (HBO) 

Let's not forget the driver behind the wheel, the economy/ no-one complains when they have a six pack in the fridge

The Jan 6 terrorists are not a legitimate side.

There is no legitimacy on the right. Im not making excuses anymore for out right insane,sick grabs for power ANYMORE. This is coming from someone who is an old moderate Republican. And of color.

He sure is!

"The further we look back into history, the more we can tell about the future".... Winston Churchill's advice to Queen Liz ...

Funny, im about to get my teaching license for history

@@tristinjudd2595 well you should teach all those young minds that elections have consequences and stolen elections have catastrophic consequences we're experiencing that right now don't re write history.

@@tristinjudd2595 So....

He's one of my favorites. So knowledgeable, very humble wonderful storyteller. He lives next door to Tim McGraw and Faith Hill in Nashville and coauthored a book with Tim Mcgraw on how music shaped America. I haven't read it but want to.

And funny too

His voice reminds me of matthew mconaughey

Respectful? The white liberal woman insulted all of us by saying we need to beg for forgiveness. How about she begs for forgiveness for the democrat riots of 2020 that killed dozens of people first?

I will not apologize is what I heard from the country singer. For his Heritage of Slavery and Superiority by the South.

@@ChinoEyes1 indeed, and for supporting, enabling, and collaborating with fascists that attempted a coup to overthrow American democracy. These lunatics and deplorable people have some repenting to do to get back into the good graces of 70% of America. This is what MAGA-fascism represents, and who these people brought to power: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-3AfswUADw5w.html

​@@ChinoEyes1 he doesn't have to apologize for slavery since he's never owned a slave. The woman expects foe conservatives to apologize for being conservative. Maybe she should hold her breath.

@@ChinoEyes1 That's the problem, similar to Julia's. She also wants the Donaldo's to apologize, but not all of them actually are the stereotype person that many Liberals/Lefties have in mind. Sorries don't mean much to me anyway, it'll only be a thing to use against them, to remind them, but, the damage has already been done anyway. And even then... you're not going to get them on your team if you demand them to say sorry first, especially not when their side is also the side with most of the guns and whatnot. _IF_ a civil war broke out now, it wouldn't have the same result. Just saying. Each side is angry at the other side, the president is irrelevant, because if Donald wins in 2024, they might as well demand you to apologize for whatever they disagree with. That stuff will only keep that tug of war in place, keeping that pendulum swinging one way to the other. Why not try to see beyond the differences and try to get things running on a normal capacity again without killing/cancelling each other. Besides, "his heritage of slavery", he's not one of those 'white settlers', it's the USA, to go and try to deny settlers coming to America and ruling it till today, that'll also harken back to the civil war, is that really what you want? Slavery still happens in many countries with different races, and there are also atrocious acts by other ethnicities, what's the point of singling out the white goat with 666 between its horns. It looks like many people confuse their superior higher morals for superior firepower, how do you expect to make the Jan 6th bisonguy to apologize, he's not alone, and the more force put behind a movement to make these people apologize, the more resistance there will be to it, and yeah, to repeat myself, it's not going to be any prettier this time around. I'm not a fan of any politician at the moment, they've all failed in some way or another, but my choice would've been Bernie '16 & '20, but the DNC wouldn't have it, and i am definitely not a fan of Donald, Biden is just a creep, not any less corrupt than the next DNC representative. There are a lot of pains felt at this moment that are also caused by the Dems, and people celebrating the recent Ukraine win are putting up a nice show, but i am not interested. I do side with Julia on that one, let's just first wait and see what happens. But, speaking of apologies... as a working class minimum wage "essential" worker... i did not particularly agree with measures taken, and considering the damage done by putting everything on halt, i can say, there are a LOT of people that owe some apologies. So, why not skip this whole charade and focus on how to get back to a normal world.

How? With some it's possible, very small %. We're dealing with a Flat Earthers mentality. Deny, dismiss, there is no coming together with that. trump needs to go away and they need to slither back under their rocks where they belong. Out of sight and in the darkness

100% I was just thinking the same thing. This one really sinks in.

Not when people are misinformed. People who are misinformed are always beneath someone who is informed.

@@RocStarr913 That's why God instructed us to search a matter out for ourselves. The onus is on us. Period, no excuse.

@@anjijack5392 lose the ‘God’ concept… you lose me when you put religion in it…

Let's understand 3 out of the 4 we're following the rules of a debate.

What a load of bollocks. The problem is that the more money the Democrats steal, the more obvious their corruption and the more the "masses" are exploited and impoverished as a result, the greater this volume of bollocks must become to compensate. "Orange Man bad" simply isn't going to work. But keep at this bollocks regardless.

Except the woman in pink, she’s divisive.

@@dakotaflower5926 I like Julie Ioffe when she discusses Russia, her area of expertise. But her belief that the 75 million people who voted for Trump owe an apology to the 80 million who voted for Biden, is EXACTLY the reason we cannot come together a nation. We had 2 bad choices in 2016. Hillary decided to call everyone not voting for her a basket full of deplorables, which sounds like she divided us, not Trump. In 2020, we had a corrupt liar who has been on the wrong side of every issue for 50 years, or Trump who is an ass. But the condescending elitist on the left are owed an apology after this 2 year shitshow courtesy of the Biden administration? Her abject contempt for those who disagree with her reminds us of the 2 sides of the American circa 1960. Good to see Bill Mayer explain people have different priorities and views and thats ok.

@@spain1998 pure BS. MAGA-fascists attempted a coup. You supported, enabled, and collaborated with fascists to end American democracy. I would say that makes us enemies until you repent for those atrocities.

If you get inspiration from that man I question your sanity

@@mr.j5919 like most people question yours?

@@LowLight420 Because he didn't have to, but interrupting is part of his job as host, it's necessary and sometimes very much so.

But she still doesn’t realize what Bill and Trace were saying lol

But the south east is evil. Ultimately the US is far too big for a functioning democracy. Values are so different all over the US for a variety of reasons and to think that one federal government for 350 million people is workable is ludicrous. Let the south eastern, ignorant states go their own way and let them drown. Let the rest of the country move on and prosper without having the Bible Belt keep pulling the country down.

She’s also the one woman on the panel and perhaps a better lens into who was hurt most by the Trump administration. Trump was bad for everyone, but he was certainly worse for women.

@@BloodyInitiate Nah...It was good.

@@BloodyInitiate Please, explain more. How exactly was Trump "worse for women?"

They Launched an attack on Trump and America .. divided the Nation! Ruined friendships, famillies and more... so maybe before Jan 6th they should consider that also. Shithole country's? Instead we turn our country into one under Biden

Pure TDS, glad you got your days injection.

I still want to know why the capitol police just let people in if it was damn bad?

There's a difference between saying that you don't agree with everything the party says or advocates for and then in the same breath saying that the other choice is thinking that what the Republicans endorse is somehow better. No, not even close. The two parties are so vastly different that even if I don't agree with the establishment wing of the Democratic party on some policy, I'm not going to endorse a Republican policy or vote for them. The Republican party should be done and gone. It is an ancient relic that should have died long ago. They want us to live in ancient, medieval times. We are in the 21st century! As Wayne from Wayne's World said, "Live in the now!" Maher is now a Republican apologist and it's absolutely disgusting!

@@bcrusher3 No he's NOT a Republican apologist.

@@SuhaibZafar explain how someone who apologizes on behalf of Republicans for the way they vote is not a Republican apologist.

@@SuhaibZafar I've watched Bill since Politically Incorrect, and he's unfortunately as of late become a GOP Apologist. I don't like that he has, but it's what he has become, regardless of my personal feelings.

@@bcrusher3 _"There's a difference between saying that you don't agree with everything the party says or advocates for and then in the same breath saying that the other choice is thinking that what the Republicans endorse is somehow better."_ At what point in his career has Maher ever made such a claim? You aren't paying attention to what is being said. Saying _'I understand your position'_ [sometimes] is not apologetics and _sometimes_ even Repuglicans have valid arguments to make.

He knows the history we suddenly,don't want taught.

...he is so informative!

He's good for a laugh.

I agree. The show has been "meh" for some time. Tonight had everything it used to have.

Love Jon!

Was it great? Nobody talked about the real issue, that both parties are bought and paid for by the super rich and they argue around the edges while bleeding the working class dry. How did we get to the point that our choice was Clinton or Trump? I despise them both. Why was the man I supported cheated, straight up cheated twice? Bill Clinton was a Republican wish list president, his choices led to an almost Great Depression, and the people who orchestrated that got bonuses. Fuck them, fuck them all.

We need civil destroy feminist tyranny I don’t agree everything with trump . Id rule law break constitution then this is all bs . Roit not attack

you forgot one

Good point. Still to (one of the best in my mind) quotes from former President Obama; "If you live in Paradice on Earth, and the only thing the lords forbit is starts talking and listening to a snake" (there more but almost impossible to find, forget googling, and also even if you are one of the few informed and knows about it, well good luck of factchecking and present the truth of what he meant). Trump, Hitler, Ted Bundy, Stalin; the list goes on and on. None of these Humans would exist without the power of women; just think about the fact (this you can google) that slaves had the right to vote,90 years before any women had that right. Semi quote: " Women are the greatest gift Allah gave us, but we must be avere about the dangers of that gift. We must as Human people be protective and controlling our women from the power of the Devils influence on women as the Prophet Elijah Muhammad's Nation of Islam told ". -Muhammed Ali! But I guess Apple is some sort of redemption. I never met or heard about a Female who doesn't owns a Smartphone (Apple)! Good comment.

Blanket pardons for all January 6th violence that disabled Capitol Police?

Give me a break dude. More police were injured and killed during the blm riots.

Empathy? His seething hatred for Pres. Trump ( & the 75 million + who support him) was quite obvious in his analogy to OJ.

@@TruthrConsequences And blanket statements like that from the other side. Fuck! Can’t seem to see the point and you end up doing the same thing the other side does. Keep making statements like that and make the divide worse.

that's true for alot of people - listening skills used to be considered valuable, not partisan.

So here's how, Republicans go with another Republican.

@Jay Kay If the same thing were said about the Jewish Holocaust, would you feel the same? Hitler wasn’t the first to torture and kill people because of who they are, no one tells them to just get over it. In fact Germany rightfully continues to apologize and PAY reparations to try and redress their past sins.

@@badfinger5754 Dems will say every republican is evil. Biden said Romney was going to put us back in chains (black people). Romney, the most moderate Republican in a generation was an evil oppressor, remember? Which Republican is going to be acceptable? Liz Cheney? The dems hated her until she hated Trump, they will hate her again if the time ever comes. They are already gearing up for the "DeSantis is Hitler" ads.

@@badfinger5754 Bill is not a Republican. He is just not an arrogant prick who thinks he has the moral high ground.

@@badfinger5754 You totally missed the point. The world needs more liberals like maher and less like you. This is why conservatives are starting to like Maher. You're allowed to be liberal, no conservative has a problem with that. However, some of the stuff the party does it outright insanity. Maher recognizes that. That woman at the end, does not.

Loffe would vote for Jack the ripper if he was a democrat

And, Thank You Rebecca W., as of the time of my reply, you were in the top 3 comments. I would add that Bill's conclusion statement here was one of his best. As I listened to Julia, I had the sometime same reaction - fuck MAGA. But like Bill, I *try* to understand the Trump voter and even MAGA. My dad was a life-long (84) Democratic Party voter, before Trump absorbed the Republican Party. He voted for the monster... twice. The first time, I adamantly opposed him. When "grab 'em by the pussy" was news, he called Trump a "douchebag". But he told me in the same conversation tho, that he was still going to vote for the douchebag. After Tucker Carlson and FOX 'News' supported and defended Trump, and to this day, during his term in office, my dad's brain was so MAGA-addled that he ended up voting a second time for the "orange man"... which, was no surprise. My point is, I knew my dad for some 70+ yrs as my hero. He is no longer my hero, but I know deep down he is Théoden and Tucker is Gríma Wormtongue.

@@theranchokid and things are better now? how

@@oldmcdonald3376 Your question is not about my reply because if it was then it makes no sense. I assume that you are doing the trolling... "with Trump out of Office and the Leftist Biden in Office... Things are better Now? And, if so... How are they better?" thing. MAGA is very efficient in their use of language; unfortunately, those shortcuts often come with a price. In this case, expressing what you want me to do, which is to engage with you on your terms. And that my friend, I will not.

@@theranchokid You are a prime example of the "Evil finger pointing" They discussed.

You will be much happier in life once you do that and let go of all your anger and hatred towards people you don't even know.

@@toddmintz4269 Says the person with "Trump 2020" as their avatar. You are still holding on to an election that ended almost two years ago. Also, I said I try to understand the Trump voter... Because they aren't just human but fellow Americans.

Indeed. Jon Meacham is to history what Neil deGrasse Tyson is to physics.

How rare on this show does someone speak and the audience is quiet.

Until he speaks of trickle down person... Then the bologna starts... Just saying... But he does get more handsome w/ time... Lol. 😝😝😝

Jon needs to be sharper with his Lincoln facts...

The last speaker, she was really divisive. She seemed to forget the deplorable language. Both sides are terrible. When we have the ingroup forgiving their own atrocities.. our country will never heal.

@@michaelmravetz6276 I agree she was out of line but because the rest of the conversation was good and decent and insightful, she stuck out like a sore thumb and Bill called her out for it.

Before leaving high school, and then at college, everyone should listen to Tim Minchin giving his graduation speech at UWA. There is so much in it that applies here. And it’s funny.

@@michaelmravetz6276 I had the same thought. She was not well versed on her side's missteps.

yes, we need to hold the media accountable

11:51 as long as you people talk like that. You are my enemy.

Steve H - that makes you part of the problem.

the media, the candidates & their corporate donors are indeed responsible for their share of the blame, but as voting ADULTS we are all responsible for our actions, who we elect, who we support & who we come to believe are wrong, so if there is to be healing & compromise, the MAGA cult- A.K.A. the evangelical far-right GOP need to fist admit what Trump is, what he has done & hold him responsible for it, then they need to admit what they have done in support of him as more than just a candidate on a ballot because nobody has had such a cult following or merchandising like Trump. Trace Adkins is wrong in that he & those on his side of this political divide do have something to apologize for & sins to repent as a result of that. Denial won't work here. If the media lost their viewers because we were sick of their divisive rhetoric they'd change what they do to regain ratings much the same as the parties would shift their platforms to regain votes as the GOP sold their souls to retain the MAGA support. They made a conscious choice of power over integrity & their base let it happen by playing their part. Those who suffered & died as a result of Trump's reign & rhetoric deserve more than just "oops: our bad" or worse: "I have nothing to apologize for".

Bullshit. Trump divided the media too when he started calling CNN fake news. They played it more down the middle before he deliberately went after their anchors, setting the stage for said anchors to push back. This is a fundamental misunderstanding of the how and why.

Oh really

Bill shut up so arrogant

Oddly I find him to be seriously creepy. I had never heard of him before this show.

yes alot of people credit him with the beginning of all the vitriol you see in politics and life today... he made it an okay thing to call the opposite side your enemy and treat them as such... I cannot tell you how much I despise this man...for who he has always been and what he has done to our country.... and it blows me away that even today he is being treated like such a hero on faux news and other outlets he appears on...

My history may be off, but wasn't Dennis Hastert the one that started the whole thing?

That crap goes back to the beginning of time. Try again.

His "contract on America" was likely the beginning. Yes, I know that it was called contract for America, but my discription is closer to the truth of the matter

I’m a conservative and never liked Gingrich: there’s something fundamentally wrong with him - exactly like Hilary Clinton 😄

You think “rational” because they can quote some civil war history. Please. In the bubble, self entitled humans. They can’t just disagree, they demand others atone. They can GF themselves.

You mean until the woman inserted her emotional bullshit in the end of it?

Doesn't mean she's wrong...

@@jamesmiller5331 Exactly. Calling women vulgarities as Trump did disqualifies supporters from citizenship in her mind, but Biden actually assaulting a young staffer in his office, that and the many many other complaints by women against Biden for what he did, that needs no atonement for supporting him.

​@@jamesmiller5331 it was hardly "personal bullshit". Listen again. She outlined ways Trump purposely inflamed differences and hatred in a manipulative way, as well Trump's deeply flawed character that should have disqualified him from being a candidate. People from the so-called "party of responsibility" walk away from owning up to responsibility for his being elected in the first place and his attempts at authoritarian rule as well as a coup, because their hatred of the other side blinded them or believe their hatred of liberals and progressives gives them a pass.

So no other Republicans were running for president in 2016, only Trump?

What policies???

You mean of course that Ms Ioffe still believes in genuine moral concerns as good reasons to NOT vote for a creep like Trump -and good on her for that even if Trumps world thinks that morality is old hat! She comes from a line of Russians who voted with their feet (as did my wife & step-daughters) and her point goes a lot deeper as its very clear to caring immigrants who left their own despots behind that most of his voters were all too aware that Trump was a scheister/crook/con-man/racist/mysoginist but were suckers for his bull-crap anyway. Now theyre in No Mans Land. Just as in Russia all those who welcomed strong-man Putin thought he was a savior of Russia when infact he's destroying it

Julia Loffe has standards of decency, pity not more Americans did and do.

@Bryan Mack TF????

Once again trying to persuade the guests to your way of thinking even when it was obvious Trace Adkins had his own opinion. I really love and respect him for that. And once again the emotional woman almost threw a tantrum when someone didn't agree with her.

Three on the panel nearly completely agree with one another. Their comments were nuanced. Of course it will be civil.

It didn't happen. It was 45 mins of " how can we make up bullshit about Trump and pretend that he didnt do a MUCH better job than the current incapacitated, self-shitting criminal."

It's on HBO max

Coherent? Yes… Civil? Yes… Intelligent? Far from it.

but not his memory

Both of them are awful.

As long as he doesn't have Biden's diaper.

There's nothing wrong with Biden's memory. That's just a bunch of right wing BS. Did you listen to his latest speech? I suspect not.

@@belovedrock. My impression is that the Democratic Party of America is carrying out a Maoist\Marxist take over of America. The FBI, IRS, CIA and big tech are politicizing their mission to run the country. If the Democrats maintain control of both houses of Congress in the November election. The country will be under complete totalitarian control before 2024. It's almost there now. Brace yourself for the Communist take over of America. But as Dennis Miller used to say: That's my opinion, I could be wrong. Time will tell.

Good idea!

The woman in pink thinks Trump supporters have something to “repent” for?? Well, I think Biden supporters need to repent how about that?! Also, the moron on the very left actually think January 6th was an attempt to “overthrow” democracy. Lol no one is that stupid to believe a bunch of unarmed idiots could do anything but stall time for a few hours. I lost brain cells just listening to him

Yeah, but his points are rambling and have nothing to do with the questions. It's hard to follow along when he's not.

Doesn’t he kinda sound like matthew mcconaughey!?

@@Matthew-ve7uv No, you're wrong. His points are intelligently supported by his comments.

@@Matthew-ve7uv Like Andrew Schultz (comedian) said to an audience member about a joke she didn't get or didn't understand. And I paraphrase; "Your brain doesn't get it and it's ok. All people have perspective and bias that is different. You could be a genius at your job, but that doesn't mean that hard vocabulary, history and/or analogy are your forté." In my opinion, It's the lazy way of the mind that turns logical analysis into emotional analysis. Which is why trump won. People want their conclusion to be reached and feel smarter. Say things in a simple way and it somehow makes sense, even though the argument is flawed. Complicate it and people think that you're an "elite" thus, weakening any logical argument analysis.

Ya, I wish other right of center networks would put him on as well Karen.

Of course the liberal white woman was the one making it personal and insulting everyone. We need forgiveness for the unarmed INSURRECTION of Jan 6th?😂😂 No, democrats need forgiveness for the democrat riots of 2020 that killed dozens of people, injured 2000 cops and destroyed entire BLACK neighborhoods. Democrats need forgiveness for mutilating children with hormones and surgeries. Democrats need forgiveness for the open border that's allowing drugs, particularly Fentanyl, to flood in killing a RECORD 107,000 Americans last year. This year is on pace to shatter that. Trump brought peace to the Middle East, was the first president in decades to not start another war, and that idiot is still talking about him having nuclear codes. Unite with that lying, deceitful evil? NEVER

@@johnpeter8226 The irony is indeed palpable.

You have to admit she was very single minded. She had one point to make and tried to make it multiple times where In the others, Bill, Jon, spoke in varied responses to multiple issues. Her finger pointing seemed almost child like when measured to the complete conversation. Everyone’s had enough of that behavior I hope.

@@brettwallace1604 You really need to tune your receptors and actually listen to the woman, she spoke about various issues, several of which she is an expert of. Saying she only tried to make one point clearly indicates you either didn't watch the show or have comprehension difficulties.

@@Ketraar She was right to take Big Hat to task. She rightly cites the enabling of Trump & how those who did fit Meacham's category of those who want forgiveness without repentance. Big Hat was too swaggeringly self-righteous to even fault Trump as he was treated well "personally" ~ so he feels he doesn't have anything to be forgiven for. Ioffe was detailing the divisiveness ~ which Trump played up ~ which she knows was designed by Putin, but that would have been making too pointed an indictment.

Absolutely!!! I vote for the person who is better for the job. Biden doesn't have a clue what he is doing.

Help us underStand this better because how are people okay with a guy like Trump that ignored the COVID Pandemic to the point where millions of workers didn’t have PPE and millions more died? How on earth is that guy “better for all of us” when he’s evidently okay with killing all of us so long as he gets proper camera time?

you’re so right! i felt so at ease listening to both these gentlemen

That lady have no problems with pedo Biden, her arguments are just a talking points

dont you think the audio sucked tho

It looked to me like a panel of liberals STILL refusing to understand. They're still like 2 years behind what I think. As a person who left the left, it pleases me to see them failing because it gives me confidence my choice was correct. When they finally get around to asking and listening, then they will have learned something.

Had pretty much given up on the show recently, as it often seemed to have gotten stale, and Bill seemed kind of jaded and repetitive. But this one was quite good, and real, intelligent conversation.

@@niemand262 That's because you are special and have superior intelligence. You must have achieved such amazing things in your life. It's surprising such an individual has time to comment on You Tube videos. Please, use your precious time and energy wisely, the world needs it.

Yeah, they are arrogant goobers who think enslaving black people was perfectly fine.

I imagine he meant that his views align with Trumps policies. I am not a Trump fan as a person at all, but I am 100% sure that "progressive" policies are FAR more a danger to our nation than Trumps assholishness. Jan 6 was atrocious, but the Dem condemnation would have at least a bit of integrity if they hadn't stoked and winked at the riots that tore up so many cities the previous summer. Notice how they died off so suddenly when it started to hurt the Dem party in the polls? And if election deniers were such a threat to democracy, perhaps the Dem party shouldn't be throwing $millions into supporting them in the primaries to get a better match up in the general. The D party is every bit as cynical as they claim the Rs to be. So yes, despite my dislike of him personally I'd vote for him again over most Democrat politicians. Now put up a Tulsi and I'd consider it.

Lol! No, the problem is other people arrogantly feel entitled to apologies just because! If he doesn't believe he did anything wrong, why would he ever consider apologizing? That would be dishonest on his part & catering to that false sense of entitlement in another person they need to deal with & get over!

Wearenotperfect Yeah, when he talked about each side looking at each other with hate, while ignoring that thing called “slavery” which was the core of it, that said a lot. “Why do those aggressive northerners hate us so much?” SMH

@@richardavery4692 The rules of the internet are: (1) Say what you mean and mean what you say. (2) The internet never forgives, the internet never forgets, the internet is forever.

The Comrade is demanding Truth and Reconciliation after the J6 showtrials. She really is the spawn of her ancestors.

Fuck the View.

Maher ask Julia a goddamnd question and let her speak you fool

But Trump is evil!! He's proving it over and over.

So you dont comprehend the difference between calling an individual person a thing, and calling 150 million people that think... m'kay

Trace was talking about history from a book not today but it shows we dont learn from our past because the same things are happening from the civil war to hitler

Trump's stupid, not evil. But anyway Maher said that you can't call Trump supporters evil, not Trump himself. Unless you think of Trump as part of what makes you, you. In that case, you have bigger problems to worry about.

@@AK99581 I am at a loss to understand why one would call Trump "evil." Given that everything in America was going pretty damn good, that logic defies me. Calling Hitler and Mussolini evil makes more sense.

This is so tiresome. Please read my multiple comments above.

@@joannloraine3790 your comments remain wrong and part of the problem, no matter how many times you write them. In fact, one could say they’ve become tiresome.

This OT was better than the show

not in small part because of that VOICE! wow. I am not a country music fan, but I'd listen to Trace read me a shampoo bottle.

I’d like to listen to the Silence of Julia

Someone must've hit the mute button when the woman was talking then. Lmao. Huge props to Bill, Trace and the other guy for not slamming that senseless idiot down in a less cordial manner. How they composed themselves when she tried non stop to lecture everyone on how people vote for the candidate and only that person. Instead of what Bill was saying, which is, they vote for the party who will meet their needs and concerns, it just so happens the face of it at a given time is said candidate. It doesn't mean they agree, like, or condone his behaviour. But because he is the only option to prevent policies people don't agree with from going through, they are left voting for him. Her stupid and ridiculous logic is that because Trump is grotesque and repugnant, then everyone should've voted for Hilary. Boom. Done. End of election. Who gives a damn about the policies or what is important to you and your family. As long as you can say I like this person more than the other, you did your civic duty. She is stuck in elementary school and highschool elections that are just horny kids voting on popularity because no one can change anything anyways

@@kila4 What the hell is that supposed to mean?

I’m waiting for one with Trace Atkins, Morgan Freeman and Sam Elliott.

She had no bit of logic in the conversation just emotions

yeah, why should anyone bring up ethics

Yeah it was.

Starting to really respect Bill's viewpoints despite the TDS

Clearly you are the blithering idiot that doesnt get that she-the blilliant Julia Ioffe- voiced the frustrations of so many who cant figure why Trump isnt already i8n prison

She looked like she was going to implode with how angry she was at the end of the show. Can you imagine having to be around a person like her?!? Just bitter and downright full of hate.

@@skotwatson9994 I know. Very unpleasant, nasty person.

No use in saying that if the side in power believes they’re all messiahs that define the law, as in Cross Fire Hurricane. Biden just issued a a clearly illegal debt forgiveness that even Pelosi denied he could do. There was no raid on Clinton’s server. “Both sides …”? Please

She's like a child.

@@drchill8837 And the only person Bill did not ask was the only woman on the panel. She was right. No pass given. Lacking critical thinking is what the problem is.

@@DK-zu6tt she was very wrong, she’s lucky she got a pass.

In Julia’s defense she is quite smart and somewhat if an expert on Russia. However, She still has Trump Derangement Syndrome, sadly.

Listening to someone's speech is the easiest way to learn about them. It reveals integrity and character YES SPEECH MATTERS IT CAN CAUSE INJURY AND DEATH. HATE SPEECH SHOULD NEVER BE COSIDERED THE SAME AS FREE SPEECH FULL STOP.

'That Woman' is Julia Ioffe - an award winning journalist and international policy commentator. Please look her up and rethink your comment.

@@thomasmau2263 lol yeah she's pretty cringe

Well-said!

exactly - Trace has a deep voice, a "manly" demeanor, but shows his brittleness as a man when he declares an incapacity for acknowledging fault, triumphantly. If you are strong, stoic, and secure, you are willing to recognize your flaws and errors, because you want to get stronger by leaving them behind - you don't try to convince yourself and everyone else that they don't exist, never happened, "Fake News!"

yeah big ol' cry baby! "I never apologize" in his big boom of a voice....whatever dude!

@@lucasorion One word. Insecure.

Well said but your best point was made before "A genuine self reflection...."

Well done Emily. Think for YOURSELF! Choose what subjects and policies matter. Identify your passion and follow it. Worry not about the rest.

Here's one thing to keep from alienating people and making their eyes roll to the back of their head: don't reference "the patriarchy." It's ivory tower narrativism that has no place in normal people's lives.

What you said is basically the entire idea behind “12 rules for life”.

"Community organizing" my fucking ass. I was banned from my local mutual aid community when they learned I voted for Trump. We were screamed at on social media while city blocks burned when you idiots were activated by the George Floyd crap. People have been threatened, deplatformed, assaulted, hunted down by antifa. This is not a "both sides" thing. One side has clearly benefited from permissive institutional privilege. You want to walk this back but you don't want to admit any of this actually happened. There's no walking this back. You unleashed something and there's no putting the genie back in the bottle.

The "Patriarchy" seems like a "national construct" to me.

She was wrong IMO. She sees Trump as a Boogeyman and she could let her bias go to even be objective.

@@chalmapatterson544 I disagree, she was completely objective, calling out Trump for all the horrific statements and actions he performed.

@@anneallen4112 Cry me a river.🙄 I had more money in my pocket when Trump was President. Our Country is in big trouble and people need to start understanding that.

so you respect the 2nd ammendment and my right to own an AR15, you expect the southern border to be secured, and there are two types of aliens (non citizens) in this country; those here legally and those here illegally, you respect the SCOTUS overturning RvW and putting decision back to States, you agree that transgenderism shouldn't be taught let alone be encouraged to kids under the age of 18, you're outraged at the suppression of the hunter Biden Laptop story, so close to election AND you're outraged at the role the FBI has played in that censorship ..... yeah I thought so!!

Loffe is clearly off her rocker though and was there for a fight, driven by emotion and a misconception of Republicans.

Positive suprise to me..real speaker

Meacham has had major influence on Biden's speeches- how can he not be asked about the Independence Hall speech. If he didn't help write it, what did he think of it (since it certainly seemed more divisive than inclusive) .Big oversight.

One side decided that people that looked a certain way were less than human, and fought...willing to kill others to keep on being able to treat those "that looked a certain way" as less than human! They shed blood, waged war to preserve their right to do just that! It was in THEIR constitution!

That's the problem with dishonest people, they always want to include both sides even if only only one exists. CNN is doing that right now to catch a more right wing audience.🙄

Um, we are different. You don’t love people that want to bury you. You bury them.

@@RocStarr913 MLK and Gandhi would say different👍👍

@@AverageJoe483 MLK was murdered by a racist.

@RocStarr913, personally, I don't want to bury them, but I do want to prevent them from burying me or anyone else. Regrettably, that might involve some force on occasion.

No media is not the problem...who said the crazy shish is.

you don't need to quote menacing or aware, they are real words and mean exactly what you want it to.

Next they’ll demand you avert your eyes and cry out as they strike you down for it.

Same for the people that prop up Biden. Trace is right, it’s about policy. Bill is right that we don’t have to like all of the full standing of each party.

Virtually every slaveholder who wanted to have the "freedom" to keep slaves would agree with you.

@@joannloraine3790 oh please! Save the leftist talking points. Next you're going to tell me Trace Adkins is a woman beater that loves to kill babies. This just in... 2022 says we've progressed past slave owning by just a few years..

@@joannloraine3790 so would every woman who wants the freedom to get an abortion.

he hasn't brought anyone together.
