Real Time with Bill Maher: Overtime - July 1, 2016 (HBO) 

Seems like maher is looking for a "conservative snowflake" for every panel now...my god she is aweful

And her "reverse-Madonna" fake accent is fucking awful. Annoyed at the way she arrogantly likes to think she now speaks for Britain. FUCK OFF BAGSHAWE!

@Daniel Clark Clark She resigned because she was fucking useless and it saved her from the ignominy of being thrashed at the ballot box

@Daniel Clark Clark Is she still tweeting utter nonsense or has she grown up a bit?

Uh, ok then?

Yes.

Well just so long as you understand facts and evidence are more on his side, but then again that's never stopped anyone before, especially not Americans.

So you watch Fox?

I happen to be privy to things that are beyond what your facts and evidence (while true in and of themselves), present. I'm not saying I'm RIGHT, but I am saying that there may be things in this debate that you're not seeing. And no, I cannot provide proof to this. This is my opinion,. Sorry.

Yes, and I am a Johnson supporter, still what he says is so much better then nutty Trump and Lying Hillary

You can't really intelligently debate for libertarian dreams

Are you saying you can't really debate legalization of marijuana?

No he doesn't, a Libertarian really has nothing to say. If he says something you think is interesting ... it's not true.

Oh you can, but not from a libertarian standpoint. Most libertarians want all illegal drugs to be legalized and let each individual deal with the fallback to that themselves. Some illegal drugs are just not meant to be played around with like that.

That was pretty much Britain's initial plan anyway, right? Looneys to America and criminals to Australia. However, I think we got a little too good at manufacturing our own. Keep sending the looneys here, just throw in a Christopher Hitchens every once and a while and we'll call it square.

+David Roberts That attention seeker will never get a look in in a country which "boasts" Ann Coulter

Yeah, she's so awful! And she outright lied about the Brexit campaign and vote. She said all of Britain is so proud of the vote to leave the EU. Of course Americans will just buy what she said because they are not that educated on world politics. It's not wholly their fault. We don't have a BBC so Americans only get domestic news. If you're interested in an American's perspective who lives in the UK you might be interested to read this article: medium.com/@nickog/overlooked-yet-obvious-brexits-worst-potential-legacy-5898f9d1ed49#.wdoubgrhi

Louise Mensch is so full of shit. America, please keep her.

I concur, she's a total turd.

I get the concept behind Libertarian rule, but to rely on the people and market is not a good thing either, we/they are too easily influenced and impulsive. Take a look at Facebook and see what i mean, people supporting victims of the Orlando shooting, other people praising the shooter etc. Its usually the overly extrovert people that take up most of the space and time, pushing and shoving people around. I think that there are too many idiots around to rely on their cooperation, its doing horrible things to any political system all over the world. They do need to be kept in check in some way, but i think a Libertarian led country would eventually divide States more into separate countries, because if a government does not have enough power to stop the people, it might as well become Mad Max, volunteered segregation like the Brexit would be common practice. States like Texas would be one of the first to Secede most likely. Independence is fun and all, but there needs to be a balance, because a market can shift like ebb and flow, moving jobs and wealth along with its currents. If there is no proper plan to patch up the divides and rapid changes, we will end up right where we are right now soon enough. So i would rather see some form of Libertarian, as in more power to people, effectively making it more social leaning, but also with an equal government, or simply put, Let's try to get along, agree to disagree without bashing your head in, but mostly to prevent a disconnect. We are on this planet together, the age of tribalism and isolation is no longer sustainable, because we know too much about everyone already, eyes everywhere. The people and governments are failing Globalization, Earth itself could do fine without us, but its capacity is limited and i really dont feel like Soylent Green. Start scouting for new planets already, because if we dont get off our greedy habits, or as a desperate measure to somehow decimate the world's population.. conflicts like they are happening right now will only occur more often. Were like a flock of locusts, but we have no other place to escape to, no haven, its all the same bullshit everywhere. I really think we need to start looking at colonization more seriously.

They were even being easy on him. They didn't even get into all of the departments that the libertarians want to get rid of like the EPA and Education. He also thinks privatizing the prison system in his state was his biggest achievement. Prisons being ran like corporations is part of the problem in the justice system. When prisoners are your way of generating the profit motive for the corporation there is a huge conflict of interest.

Gary Johnson and another candidate ( They're really that tedious I can't even remember them ) hold some very anti-Libertarian positions. Gary Johnson went on about gun control, I know that for certain and also two of the three candidates cited the gender pay gap as real when it is constantly being proven to be bullshit, the gender pay gap is one of the most constantly told lies in politics. I like Libertarianism, but unfortunately mainstream Libertarian candidates have become a total joke sadly, Ron Paul was one of the only real ones.

Yep! The question that was asked of him was a simple answer too.

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. Not to defend him or come to his aid purposely, but he could have just been nervous... However, that brings up a whole other problem... If he is nervous for a television show, then how could he address the people. Idk. I was very disappointed at his recent appearances on tv and social media.

The English Sarah Palin.

The British Sarah Palin, more about the celebrity than the governing.

she was MP

She was a month away from a huge promotion too, I don't get why she left.

yeah- he won't get to a poll of polls 15 percent of the vote. but that maybe better for him because hes not really a great debater- or a person who can defend his positions. given most libertarians positions are insane- but still he is supposed to represent them

80 years of welfare and yet blacks are in the same position as they were in when welfare started...Liberal policies are cancer. Take the plantation from the farm to the urban cities and convince groups for lifetime votes...the party that started the KKK as well. Woodrow Wilson, FDR, Johnson, known racists. Libertarian polices are what is needed instead of asinine dependent by the state cultural marxist bullshit.

80 years later, and you still think "welfare" is something for African Americans....

Because the only factor of blacks being in the same position is welfare........ that was about the most short-sighted statement I think I've ever read. Let's not add in the drug war at all that definitely incarcerates minorities more than whites even though drugs such as marijuana are used by races almost completely equally. "Dependent by the state". Something that has been going on since the day government was founded. No silly ideals are going to change that without some sort of anarchy. Otherwise, you will always have some sort of dependency of the state.

.....at least he isn't a corrupt, unethical crook... therefore I will be voting for him!

i noticed that to. Where are like 5 percent of the worlds population

Damn you Gary! Lol.

And 25% of the worlds prisoners. Land of the free, lol.

Yeah, she almost made me want Bill to stop making jokes because she was killing my buzz. Kinda filtered her out at some point, but it was still like that annoying mosquito that you know is there somewhere.

Thank God...I came on here to see if anyone else noticed. I couldn't get over it. She was annoying and obnoxious AF. He had to have noticed that!!!

I think that person was a 'paid' laughter. some shows hire them to get the audience also laughing

***** #BlackLaughsMatter :P

DethstruXioN ™ (facepalm)

IKR?

+David Connolly 4:33 Gary sounds like he got high _before_ the show.

Quite possibly. Some of the pot stuff Bill talks about is likely shtick but I'm sure he probably smokes with guests after the show from time to time. Mainly I have a hard time imagining Bill dealing with people much outside the show. He seems like kind of an extroverted loner, somebody who doesn't let anyone get too close to him.

+zyxwut321 "extroverted loner", very insightful observation and probably correct.

Gary said he stopped using marijuana (edibles - he doesn't smoke) when he decided to run for President in order to remain sharp. So I don't think he did.

Drove me insane the entire episode

Glad I wasn't the only one who found it VERY. FUCKING. ANNOYING

it's especially irritating when you listen to the podcast version O.O

Agreed!

So fuckin true!! I could hear her loud ass fuckin cackle the whole episode!

yeb- i stopped watching it. but looks like didnt miss much from gary johnson- he said the same things libertarians have said forever-. i am right- everyone else is dumb- we don't need government blah. the guy couldn't even debate his positions

I don't know. I have always maintained that Libertarians are just Republicans too embarrassed to admit it, but if Johnson is sincere, he gave me a moment of pause.

It's probably several mics, but shutting ONE off would not help.

If you focused on the laugh that much, it says more about you than anything else. I heard it too, but I never paid attention to it as it wasn't really that pertinent to what was going on. And come on.. It's HBO, I doubt it's single mic. ;) Also, Bill seemed to appreciate it early on, so that could be telling in an of it itself.

cry about it

I hear Rand Paul in the echo chamber....I hope he loses his senate seat this year. Notice how low he has laid?

uhhh, less intervention in foreign affairs

somewhat good on social issues ie pro choice, pro legalisation of drugs anti drug war but also bad as they want no government involved in guns ie no background checks etc and on economic issues they are absolutely horrible

+God Of Light also Gary is much more moderate on guns. He's open to gun control legislation to keep them out of the wrong hands

You are simply an ignorant fool who has been brainwashed by surrounding yourself with libtard media - I bet you think "rampant capitalism"is what caused 2008 crash - right? :) Because governments always bail out banks in "unfettered capitalism" - RIGHT?

+Jeffrey Hinkle this!!! she's about to be indicted. hang on. Bernie is waiting for this then he will get the nomination. bye Hillary.

Indictment coming soon. Get ready Bernie.

You do understand England voted leave. You also realize Bernie will be the candidate after the indictment.

You're right, we lost....and so did the rest of America.

+Greg Clark Do you know something the rest of us don't?

I think it will be a guy called Gove . Bitch please! The British people will not vote for a fucking geography teacher. Leadsom V May, te next UK PM will be a woman.

I wash just thing that. Wait till she is on QT again I bet the accent goes.

Ari asked him a question and then rudely interrupted him during the answer.

Louise Mencsh. I'm actually nostalgic for the time when she was only a National embarrassment

if you close your ears, you gottta admit she's pretty hot

+quicksite It seems that the hottest female politicians are in the right. Would anyone say no to Sarah Palin or Penny Mordaunt (Americans have probably never heard of her)? Even the hottest Democrat I can think of - Tulsy Gabbard - is on the right of the party.

Used to privileges..uglies r feminists

Louise is a moron conservative , not a feminist

AMEN FIST BUMP

He'll never win.

yeah heh ahahahahaha hahahahahaha good luck with that.

HELL YEA MAD MAX ROAD IS GONNA BE FUN IN REAL LIFEEE!!

He couldn't win a debate on Overtime. If he gets his wish and gets his 15% of the votes to show up in the debates he will look like a fool. Be careful what you wish for.

350 million divided by 7 billion= .05

The United States population was 319 million as of July 4, 2014, according to the U.S. Census. That accounts for about 4.4 percent of the approximately 7.1 billion

+Stoic Bias lol

Sorry, I was thinking of something else, and I forgot to convert to percent. :P But, 4.4 is close to 5.

I believe he meant we produce 16% of the world's carbon emission, but was tripped up on the gotcha question he got asked.

i thought it was a braying donkey.

you noticed it too. She should have been EJECTED

Don Monmouth if you watch more clips EVERYONE noticed it.

Big oil isn't the entire free market

good points Snuffy and although big oil is not the entire free market, waiting for the free market to shun oil may be to late (bye Miami). Libertarians need to be laisser-faire on most things but *sometimes they need to intervene (why risk it). Basically like a fact based liberal (show me the science).

Not that I believe the free market will solve all problems but Apartide in South Africa and killing of dolphines while netting tuna both were solved by the freemarket as consumers we did not support either we boycotted both and got change. Those were like 30 years ago I hav3 no clue if anything similiar has happened recent.

Actually they were talking about coal not oil.

What an utterly stupid question to Johnson and it shows why he isn't half the candidate Ron Paul was. The free market is not the cause. It's not an entity. People caused and it and people have to fix it. That's just the reality.

But this is based of the assumption consumers good will is to purchase the better for the environment supplies (which is not always the case), most of the time consumer purchase is driven by efficiency and affordability. While the big business motive is usually 110% profit motive, hence whatever sells more and cheaper is always going to work for them. I just don't think absolute free market is going to cater to the good will of all people, there will be greed and there will be ignorance. Now innovations do indeed occur eventually with competition deciding when, but when these innovations have to deal with our ozone layer I think it should be safer regulating more now instead of waiting for the free market to decide when/how to innovate.

+ Brian Stones OMG you realize you are saying the Chinese are a fair market?

+Big Boss socialism is not state capitalism we in America have the completely wrong definition of socialism it means society specifically workers controlling the means of production what you are saying is that your against state capitalism when the state undertakes the means of production and distribution within a economy.But than again the state is often times a better and more ethical capitalist than private firms. one example would be the economic mobilization during the new deal when private corporations couldn't or even is some instances refused to provide employment, a good example would how the TVA provided electricity at a lower cost and just has good service. or even today with Medicare having a lower overhead cost than the private healthcare companies. The uncritical hero worship of capitalism is in my opinion folly.

The problem is that providing solutions to climate change won't make significant money so companies aren't willing to spend the necessary billions in investment to see a profit in thirty years. Government can go beyond a profit margin, focus on long term, leverage money more easily etc. Even now much of renewable energy and climate change solutions are only possible because of government grants/loans etc otherwise the market would still not done much.

Ezekiel 3722 question I've heard that even if the world was to cut 60% percent of carbon emissions would most of the damage that was done would be irreversible,ive heard we can have ice free poles in a few decades even less than that.

No government's role is to Stop subsidizing the polluters and give tax breaks to those help solve the problem!! Typical idiotic libertarian statement!!

don't waste your vote on him he wont win. He didn't in 2012 & wont now. Accept that & spend your vote better. Or let the moment pass, call me a name, and then be wrong anyway.

jesushatesyoutoo I agree about not subsidizing polluters. I think that it would be better for there to be a penalty on polluters rather than tax breaks to anti-polluters (lot of room for corruption). I don't know why you got so angry. My belief is not even that far from yours

chasemebaby It depends what you consider a wasted vote. For example, if the libertarians get 5% of the popular vote, they qualify for federal funding in the next election. It also forces the Republican party to change significantly. And really, getting on to the debate stage gives Johnson a real chance to win. The difference between 2012 and now is that Trump and Hillary have all time low favorability. In 2012, Republicans were not going to leave Romney and let Obama win. Democrats were not going to leave Obama to let Romney win. Trump and Hillary are that bad and unlikeable. People have the same attitude as me, which is that they were not going to vote for Trump or Hillary anyways, so they might as well vote for someone else.

Gary Johnson is not for corporate welfare, so that argument that was made for that was completely irrelevant and your position is much more to the platform of Johnson's. And also, I thought Gary's response was decent, it's just that guy from MSNBC completely misrepresented his argument.

This is the problem with libertarianism as an ideology. It comes from a good place, but it's entirely unrealistic.

The issue is that there is a owner class. Right leaning Libertarianism is the wrong form to prescribe to. www.infoshop.org/AnarchistFAQSectionI1 The owners should be the producers who should be the people.

How many people know what fuels the plant that makes their electricity use? How many people directly buy coal? Consumer of coal for the most part are electric producing facilities, not the user of electricity. Market for feed stock in electricity sector (coal, natural gas, geo, solar, nuclear)is only minimally controlled by consumer of electricity. Owners/operators of electrical power plants have to have incentive or penalties imposed to force change. I don't think much would happen if every electric power consumer called their power company and demanded that they used alternative fuel if they are sitting next to coal field or easy access to one. Corporations owe as much to share holders as they do to consumers. They are not going to go through expense of conversion if not forced.

I agree, it would not be safe to rely on them. Their greed is what got them there, why would they willingly let go of that shit.. They wont, thats just not natural to them. There is much more need for a balance, because things just dont go well if one party holds too much power.

No it cuz it was a fucking stupid liberal trap , maher is such a fucking tool bag bitch and they sound like children

Stone Marten she is such an English woman her last name is Mensch

I'll be voting for Gary, but he's not the fastest guy on his feet. That question would be so easy to stomp all over. Bottom line is that Gary comes down on the right side of most issues, even if he isn't the best communicator.

Yeah, but it's one of, if not *the* CENTRAL TENET OF HIS ECONOMIC IDEOLOGY..... yet this moron couldn't even pivot around the question and bring it around to something he could strike back with, much less actually address the question. What a freakin' IMBECILE!

The party platform, not congress

And gary johnson?

Lol, that's pretty bad when the best we can do is half. And these are potential presidents.

www.usnews.com/opinion/blogs/peter-roff/2013/05/28/study-finds-fact-checkers-biased-against-republicans

I think the people saying Hillary is honest are dishonest!

Not when he says "I have no clue" when it comes to Climate Change....

He didn't say he doesn't have a clue, he said he doesn't have a magic plan because he's not running for dictator of the US.

+Donna Bentley he didn't say he had no clue. he said he didn't have a comprehensive plan. he doesn't have a comprehensive plan because he wouldn't be dictator who can do what he wants. like a lot of things, he wants an open debate with congress, who he would have to work with.

Chris Schei and as a politician, why the hell cant he be half as eloquent as a youtube commenter? as a libertarian myself, his performance here was abysmal

Very disappointed with his performance here :( He has ALL THE FACTS AND LOGIC ON HIS SIDE and he hummed and hawed his way :(

When are you going to accept that she will have zero percent chance of becoming president for the foreseeable future?

***** If she supported 0% corporate tax like Johnson, I have a feeling she would already be on 50 ballots. Good for us though, she actually has some ideas that will help the middle and lower classes.

Are you an economist? What is your background? My economics background may be limited to macro and micro, but from what I have read, many economists say there is not enough data to take a firm stance on any hypothesis. However, if I'm wrong on this matter, could you point me into the direction of some solid data. Offshoring and automation is happening whether we raise the minimum wage or not. My vote is to give American citizens a livable wage. I agree with you that all candidates should be on the debate stage. The American people need every voice up there that we can get and holding any persons out is a grave disservice to the American public.

I get what you are saying, and I have seen it argued both ways. Like I said, the best information I could find on the subject, something like 40% of the economists were undecided on the outcome. The rest were split on both sides. My next question to you would be, do you even support a minimum wage?

The problem with the Green Party in this country, in my view is that they don't run enough of a grass roots system to get Greens into municipal and state offices. In Europe they seem to have a better grasp on building from the ground up, rather than only showing their faces every four years for the general election. Now, I could be wrong about this in general terms, but in all of the local and state elections I have voted in (and I have not missed one since 1975 when I turned 18), I have rarely seen a Green candidate.
