Real Time with Bill Maher: Overtime - October 9, 2015 (HBO) 

Haha best comment eva

😂😂😂😂

+ExRayBEx yeah, from the the 18's century!

+ExRayBEx He's also got the smarts that allow him to get away with that hair cut.

+ExRayBEx I say Patrick Kennedy is the one with good hair, but Bill is having _another_ very-bad hair day.

+Luther Beckett Oh yeah definitely and that kinda why I like him. He's not afraid to put his foot in his mouth a little. But it seemed like he was shoving it down his throat tonight.

+Chad Mcfab Totally agree. I see him as a liberal version of Bill O'Reilly, Both in personality and they way he runs his show (though not to the same extent as Bill O'Reilly). His saving grace is that he actually has common sense and he's funny.

+jon henry Holy shit where did you learn to write? Are people supposed to actually try and understand what you're saying?

***** Anyone who is headstrong by nature is going to sound dumb as time goes on. As a listener you have to take what you like and ignore what you don't. Thankfully, unlike many headstrong TV personalities, Maher and his show has many redeeming qualities and he also is a good counter to mainstream/corporate media.

You both are just really bad at trolling. This isnt even funny. Both of your comments swings between sad and stupid. It would be really nice if you guys just quit.

+Henrik Karlsson yeah big time! It shows he has no understanding or even empathy for what might have been happening. It's smug shit like this that keeps my opinion of Bill sinking lower and lower.

+dirty_ cop Hey, all of his guests took him to task tonight. I thought at one point, Andrew Sullivan might have made him so pissy, he might have thrown him off the set.

+Henrik Karlsson He's noted Mets fan. He's probably very reminiscent of the 1980's Mets that had Darryl Strawberry, Doc Gooden, Keith Hernandez, and maybe a few other guys who were into coke and booze. They managed to win a World Series and had a good run.

+Henrik Karlsson No you are. There is an offseason in baseball. Unless someone's addiction is completely debilitating, there is no reason a person can't wait a few more weeks. A day before the playoffs? I don't think so.

+MrSinister718 And maybe that addiction was debilitating. Bill certainly didn't know.

+Casey Wilson I hate his earrings, but otherwise? He's cool as hell.

+Jake Jones He's definitely not a sellout though. Dude's been rockin the same look for a long time, and it's not fading or getting old. Gotta give him props for that.

+Casey Wilson who is rob thomas?

word .

+oneviwatara Obombma? Did your troll belly accidentally hit the keyboard?

+oneviwatara Please tell us all what drugs you are on so we can avoid them. Or is english your 4th language?

Ok, sure. Everwhat say you.

I think part of it was Bill feeling like he didn't have a good comeback to Andrew's criticism of Hilary (which he didn't) and tried to get a dig in on a completely different topic. And it was the most insensitive time to do something like that, especially when Sullivan was talking about the stigma that mentally ill people go through. Bill illustrated that stigma perfectly with his asinine comment.

+Movie Muscle I've been fairly outspoken against Hillary (go Bernie!) but I think Sullivan went way too far with his criticisms. He went from making a few fair point to just throwing out a bunch of nonsense and insults. Once he got to mentioning the emails, he completely lost me on this. Though, Bill answered with the same sophistry he's been using for weeks now.

+Kaleb Adams I think Andrew raised some solid points and Bill didn't have a good refutation. Yes, the right and media have been blowing the email thing a little out of proportion but as the highest official in the State Department, she knew she should be using secure accounts and servers to handle official information. It's not nothing that she chose not to. And she flip-flopped as usual, saying first she did nothing wrong, then saying she was sorry it was taken the wrong way (a non-apology) then finally taking responsibility. It doesn't mean she's in on a conspiracy as to what happened with Benghazi or anything else that Fox "News" would have you believe. It's just a irresponsible decision by a woman who wants to become President. She has wanted to be POTUS for years now, she would have known that it would hurt her reputation if the private server became public, she just thought no one would find out.

+Logan DeFelice Now bring up George Bush and Dick Cheney`s shredding of evidence throughout that administration's 8 year period....

+Movie Muscle Depends. I agree with Sullivan that Hillary has no core convictions. She's a boring centrist and she certainly isn't against the TPP. But that's not the GOP rap against her, is it? It's Benghazi or Libya or e-mails and that's just a lot of bullshit. Also in a vote between a boring centrist without real convictions and a GOP field that is unanimously hawkish (even Rand Paul by now), unanimously against gay marriage, for tax cuts for the rich for repealing Obamacare...I dunno I take the centrist with no core convictions over the right winger with all the wrong convictions any day.

+Joanne Lawrence it was perfect for a sanctimonious schmuck who used to advertizse for bareback partners knowing he was HIV+ back before there were reliable treatments available. Andrew Sullivan isn't fit to shine Hillary's shoes.

+Joanne Lawrence Did you want to hear more about Sullivan's mom? If this was hard to watch, you really should stay with The Today Show

+sgarystewart he's not the one running for presidency.

+sgarystewart He advertised it with FULL disclosure. Big difference.

+valgehiir He was making a legitimate point that without the pharmaceutical industry, he would be dead today. Bill was the one who made the broad, sweeping generalization and that's what Sullivan was checking him on. And in typical form, Bill threw a hissy fit and went for the ad hominem rebuttal.

+Votethe Bern Hillary Clinton is less than zero. Trump will trounce her if (when?) she's the democratic candidate.

+Situations103 true bernie is the only one who has the credibility and policies that can stand up to trump

+Votethe Bern he's been a hilary backer for a very long time because he knows she has a real good shot at winning

Couldn't agree more. I really wish Bill would stop shilling for Hilary. He dismisses anyone with valid concerns about her becoming president out of hand the way a lot of "progressives" seem to and doesn't even try to counter their points. Pretty ironic considering he's one of the only ones who call out people on the left for capitulating to Islamists. How Bernie doesn't get mentioned during that whole segment about Hilary's weaknesses is beyond me, especially considering he's gaining on her in the polls and he and Lawrence Lessig are on the show NEXT WEEK. For Bill to act like there isn't real opposition and competition to her from the left is completely fatuous. I used to think of Bill as being very independent and objective although strongly liberal, but now unfortunately I'm beginning to question that.

+Logan DeFelice you would think he would have more in common with bernie than hilary and be in open support for bernie on his show every week

+Ricardo Chavarin He has HIV and his mom is bi-polar, sad but irrelevant. The issue was kids on ADHD meds and how easily they are prescribed dangerous drugs. Some anti-depressants actually lead to a higher suicide risk for kids and drug companies are aware of that.

+Ricardo Chavarin Andrew Sullivan was whiny and off tonight... seems like his panties were in a twist

+Ricardo Chavarin what's weird is that Bill Maher is so pro-science when it comes to Climate Change, but then he's anti-science/technology when it comes to medicine.. He isn't a believer in western medicine.

+Steve Tyler I noticed that too. Like he was actually pretty damn rude to Andrew(who is a little overbearing, lets be honest) but his whole "Stop talking about your mom!" was over-the-line. It was anecdotal sure, but Bill's entire argument was kids are kids, which is pretty damn anecdotal too.

+AngelWolf12 when your kid acts up first thing should not be medication. swift kick in the ass should be the first action.

+Steve Tyler Yes, quite more so than usual. Maybe he needs a rehab and he is not telling. (kidding)

+Steve Tyler He is probably in a bad mood because of what Sullivan said and seemed to drive home about Hillary. He has got a point, and it is very iffy is Hillary and Trump, or anybody and Trump are debating what that is going to look like. This is going to be a really tough election, and so no doubt it puts Maher in a piss poor mood.

+Kavya Reddy what nonsense? He was right about her poll numbers falling. He was right about polls saying nobody believes her based on polls. He was right about her negotiating the TPP before she came out against it. He was right about the email server that the FBI says contained over 400 pieces of classified information (and counting). So, where is the nonsense again?

A tonne* more. 😂

+achilleshoplite Dissing? That's a little oversensitive isn't it?

+achilleshoplite yeah, i do think he was disrespectful.

He was annoyed by Sullivan's comments on Hillary I bet. xd

+achilleshoplite I completely agree with that...very insensitive on his part...also he didnt give enough time to important topics like russia

+achilleshoplite I completely agree with that...very insensitive on his part...also he didnt give enough time to important topics like russia

+ZolRing Funny that you mention it, but I don't recall a member of the BRF going to war with another country to divert attention from a sexual scandal. But all in all I'm with Mark Twain on this one: "I urged that kings were dangerous. He said, then have cats. He was sure that a royal family of cats would answer every purpose. They would be as useful as any other royal family, they would know as much, they would have the same virtues and the same treacheries, the same disposition to get up shindies with other royal cats, they would be laughably vain and absurd and never know it, they would be wholly inexpensive, finally, they would have as sound a divine right as any other royal house. ... The worship of royalty being founded in unreason, these graceful and harmless cats would easily become as sacred as any other royalties, and indeed more so, because it would presently be noticed that they hanged nobody, beheaded nobody, imprisoned nobody, inflicted no cruelties or injustices of any sort, and so must be worthy of a deeper love and reverence than the customary human king, and would certainly get it."

+ZolRing Yeah, like amassing a fortune on boot-legging.

+Bryon Letterman Yes, criticize the nuclear physicist about his hair. You're a real genius, aren't you?

+Bryon Letterman Yeah, and it's fuckin' awesome. Do you know how legit Halloween must be for this guy?

+Bryon Letterman I hope while you were admiring his hair you had a chance to listen to what he had to say. He made a few very good points.

Yes. He's a very smart guy. But I'm allowed to joke.

+Bryon Letterman I agree and I would probably adopt the same position. While he looks like a fool he makes so much sense it's hard to believe he is part of any Government in the U.S. Bill made the point, sixty percent of adults in the U.S. believe the earth is six thousand years old. He has also remarked before, this is why we let the smart people run the country. Even Reagan knew this. For all of his faults, and he had many, he supported the advancement of science. It's like the problem we think we have with Islamic extremism in Australia right now and our problem is trivial compared to our big neighbour Indonesia and that hotbed of "secularism" (it's in the constitution) in Turkey. There's only one answer long term. Education.

You have me rolling over the floor for "Wonka Factory Interim CEO"

+Barry Benton The show was broadcast live, wasn't it? How could he censor anything? I do think Sullivan was holding back a "fuck you," though. Same with Patrick Kennedy.

+Frank McManus It must have a three or five second delay, like live radio. Because Sullivan's lips were definitely moving and the audio sounded clipped with Sullivan said leave my mother out of it, at the end.

+Barry Benton No, it sounded like his mouth was readying something to say before settling on just "leave my mum out of it." If you're trying to tell me Bill made the quick and off-camera decision to censor Sullivan in the blip of five seconds (assuming there was any delay _and_ assuming he knew Sullivan's reply would be fit into such a minimised window of time), then you're breaking the principle of Occam's razor.

+Barry Benton it wasnt censored. why would it be? do you think maher cant take some trash talk?

+multitudeofidols I did a little research on online and found that Bill's show is not "recorded live" but 'live, live.' So Sullivan's words apparently weren't silenced. It sure looked like it on video. Here's a quote of Bill published in Variety on April 13, 2015: “Live on tape means ‘not live,’ of course. It was live at some point. The difference with our show is it is ‘live’ live. As I’m saying it, you are seeing it,” he said. “It does add an extra, kind of tightrope element to it, because you can’t take anything back or editorially fudge it. It is what it is.” So thank you for the polite correction and interesting allusion to Occam's Razor, which I happily looked up for my own edification.

***** or maybe he advised Obama to allow it?

+Anil Nair I'm confused about that too. People are furious in the comments, but it doesn't appear to be in the video. Maybe the people running this channel edited it out?

+Fuloqwam That exchange was during the show and not on Overtime. Basically, Maher is of the opinion that we over prescribe medication to kids. He wasn't necessarily insulting Sullivan's mother, but saying that we rush to medicate and don't take into account that people can just be assholes. Sullivan made it personal by bringing his mother's issues up. I took it as a simple disagreement. It was a tad uncomfortable to watch, but I didn't feel it was insulting at all.

generalnsj Thanks for clarifying.

+Daniel Pena He's a dick who's against the legalization of marijuana, which Bill conveniently didn't bring up.

Yes was thinking that

can you time stamp when this happens in the vid ive been looking for it

+mtoh The panel's host, not so much.

You rented CDs from the library? Here they lend them out for free.

They negotiated this deal for years. What else exactly do you want Iran to give up? This is the most stringent agreement they could realistically get Iran to agree with. If it didn't go through, the international sanctions would be lifted anyway. It's either this deal or a undeterred nuclear program for Iran. And the latter would likely lead to war eventually. And the last thing we need is to be involved in another war in the Middle East.
