Real Time with Bill Maher - Rachel Maddow Moment 

40 years later and she still wrong 😂

I wish she was as much right as she was passionate.

This just shows people cheered for anything then, and they will still cheer for anything now.

Scrodinger’s feminism: a woman who is simultaneously a victim and empowered, until something happens. Then she chooses which state benefits her the most.

People that know they are wrong and getting owned always have to overtalk others to try to win.

Rachel thinks she's only wrong if she doesn't finish her sentence 😂 we'll let you get to the end and still be wrong lady

New Rule: Don't fuck with Rachel.

When you memorize shit and someone tries to break your flow.

If the top 1% tax bracket isn't a literal statistic, then you're living in a dream world.

Best journalist in mainstream media by far. Of course with mainstream media the bar is set incredibly low but Rachel has had it locked the fuck down for quite a fucking while now

Maddow!

What is that young boy getting so worked up about?

She is Wrong, FACTUALLY.

It’s pleasing how wrong her facts and polls are

Here's what a smart girl has to do to get heard: Try to use reason, raise your hand, yell louder than the boys, then finally stand up and take the damn stage over yourself. Lean in, indeed!

There could not be a clearer example of what it's like to be a woman with a political opinion.

sadly she lets her emotions override her reason and judgement. Rachel is too emotional to see fairness.

Awesome

We had double digit inflation in 1980. Reagan promised to do something about it. By 1984 it was all but gone. That is why he won 49 of the 50 states.

.... Go Rachel Go.....

I had more respect for Rachel Maddow before seeing her on the recent Real Time...

I worked during the late Carter early Reagan years and received lose of pay during that time. I voted for him twice. But I was on the rebound during the last two years he was POTUS and relieved raise regularly after that. So it was a high interest payments on everything time in history. Houses were hard to buy with regular loans some mortgage rate interest hit nearly 20%.

Rachel is one awesome individual.....she totally is so capable and has such clear vision of what is the truth

the "clap now" sign was turned on.

As usual, Rachel Maddow is on point. She IS a Rhodes Scholar, after all, as just one of her accomplishments. Not to mention her show has been on FOREVER. They say corporations are people. WHY are they not acting like the rest of us, and paying their fair share of taxes so our infrastructure (That their CEOs and COOs and CFOs and so on, relied on to build their factories) doesn't fall apart? Why are they not "Trickling Down" any of that stolen wealth? Because they never intended to, that's why. They pay Congress to steal wealth from you the taxpayers, so they don't have to pay those pesky high wages, or those awful insurance premiums. Unemployment insurance is absolutely out of the question. This is what the bottom line builds up and Aspires to be. 3 times the wealth, with one-third the effort. When the people in this country see that both sides of their elected aisles are joined at the hip, and have just enough corruption to get this stuff done in the background? Please stop supporting this corrupt two-party setup, so it will fall off the vine and die. Your great-great Grandchildren don't deserve what they are about to receive for a society.

Haha! I just watched her Letterman interview where she said that she just grew to accept that as her nickname.

Happy WOMEN'S MONTH

That is not what I meant. When people refer to 1%, they mean corporations, big business and CEOs. People with billions of dollars. Dont take it literally!

i love it

Rachel Maddow is awesome!

Quiet boys. A woman is speaking.

Let him know rachel, interruptions dont work on her!

Finally someone who doesn't glorify Regan. Love ya Rachel!

Welp. Fact check says she is wrong. 😂😂😂

I am not American. Please help me understand why she chooses to talk and debate on a matter on which she has no education and idea about at all? And, how is she making money on it for so many years? America really has a lot of spare dollars to waste.

it's not an argument, it's a correction of your misinterpretation of 1%. I thought it was obvious that a bloke who had just sold his house and a CEO of a multibillion dollar company are not exactly in the same category.

she is so pretty!!!!!

That's exactly what Maddow was doing, she was making it seem as if these are a single group, when instead they are a very flexible and fluid statistic.

Grow up Rachel, you're wrong, just be an adult and accept it.

Talking louder doesn’t make you right. It’s amazing how the internet is at peoples finger tips and still can’t get facts right lmao

Yes, and I am critiquing the approach of Maddow, not of you.

That man was just copying Bill O'Reilly's habit of talking over people he doesn't agree with.

That’s life rachel

How come there are smart people like Rachel and Bill on the media, but none like them in charge?

Do your research. The President has virtually no effect on the price of gas. But so you like statistics do you? Under Obama, we have 29 straight months of private sector job growth. It is the public sector that is shrinking. If the public sector were allowed to expand under Obama at the same rate as it did under Bush for his first 4 years, then statistically we would be at roughly 7% unemployment. Maybe if the GOP didn't have a referendum on public sector growth, the US would be better off.

Rachel Rules!

Maddow - "my whole purpose in life is to destroy Trump ,I have no other reason to live "

In 1980 the tax on income above a certain amount was around 70%. By 1988 this same tax was around 30%. Reagonomics. Trickle down economics. How easily we forget.

The guy she was trying to shus came in to remind her that her facts were wrong but she got the applause. Thats when I say. ONLY IN AMERICA!!

She was describing a class divide, no? She was talking about the 1% profit margins and the median salary for average workers. Correct me if I'm wrong

How in the world could anyone take her seriously? lie after lie after lie....

is it just me or the top 1% really trying to cover their money income

woooooooooo

You're the one who doesn't understand. The top 1% tax bracket is what I was talking about in my first post, go back and read it over.

Hey Rachel maddow how about the Alabama football game. President Donald Trump gets a standing ovation. And the crowd goes wild. Hey Rachel maddow how about the veterans parade. The first President to attend a d the crowd goes wild. God bless the USA God bless our President

Well, you can hardly make any non-literal claims which are significant. If it is non-literal it's just not the truth, it's fiction.

Between the first installation of the tax cut in 1982 and the last full year of this expansion, 1989, real median family income increased 13 percent. Moreover, according to this measure, middle class family income also increases if 1980 or 1981 is used as base year, albeit at a slower pace. The 1% grew 63.3%. From 1993-2000 under Clinton it was 77%

what do you mean no relation? I just explained! Look, call it whatever you want - 1%, corporations, billionaires or the elite, call it anything you want. The deal is not in the name. It's in the context. I just told you, that when people say 1%, they refer to huge corporations. What is not to understand here? 1% simply means the richest people in US. That's it. Not literally the 1% of a total population, but simply the top wealthiest people. Thats it! What dont you understand?

She wants to win, not be right.

God bless Rachael!

Most people in top 1% in 1980 are dead now. So their income has decreased 100%.

Actually, all statistics regarding the economic category of top 1% in the IRS will include anyone making an income within the top 1%. You cannot make any claims about income in the top 1% without including people who are not permanently there, and if you were to try, it would be practically meaningless since most of them have not remained in that category for extended periods of time. The 1/4th who have, would render any such arguments about the whole 1% meaningless, or present a contrary case.

Some people do not know how to do basic math! If the GDP increases by 3 to 5 percent per year and the net worth of the top 0.1 percent increases by 10 to 20 percent, there is a substantial portion of the population whose income is stagnant or in decline.

Get Him Get Him!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It might mean nothing to you, but quite a lot of people find meaning in it!

The people who are rich now, were not rich 10 - 15 yrs ago.

how dare you bring facts into an argument! I'm a republican so I'll just repeatedly interrupt you!

Rachel Maddow is the reason I'm voting for trump

I think we should return to this conversation when you realize that we are not talking about statistics!

On the planet where this conversation is not about statistics!

I love this human she is a gusty forthright & intelligent, & needs to be more accessible, her show on MSNBC is why I watch MSNBC

Her picture should be in the dictionary next to the word "WRONG"

Why did that dude need to stand up if his point was so valid?

Tell them Rachel!

This is getting frustrating. I dont know how to put it any simpler. 1% is not a literal statistical 1%, that's it. I dont know how to put it any simpler. I'm baffled right now.

Its thinks if it stands up and yells then it is right without researching anything

These Fools wants War not Peace !!

Everyone's income didn't go up and the lower end spectrum didn't increase at all.

You are very well aware of what people mean by 1%... trying to simplify the issue by useless statistics is dishonest!

I love Rachel!

Maddow, if you turn the sound down looks like a child having a mememe moment

Let us leave it at that then. Thank you for your civility!

Let her speak!

let em know Rachel. don't let those bozos shut you up.

"1% simply means the richest people in US" If you mean that non-statistically, Maddow and you have different conceptions of 1%, so does Maher. Check what they said previously on the topic.

I don’t know about laying blame all on the other side. Both sides are in bed with the corporatocracy.

Uh... she’s wrong so I don’t see why this was getting applause

I have just told you not to take it literally yet you still insist. Whatever... believe anything you want.

I'm sorry I'm just going to ask the question that everybody is afraid to ask. Is Rachel a man or a woman? Where did the Adam's apple come from. If you're too afraid to answer that please let me know him or they them's preferred pronouns. These are very freaking valid questions okay?

Why? How does it mean anything if it is just a metaphor with no relation to actual money or wealth?

I love, Dr. Rachel Maddow! The woman knows her stuff!

Is this woman ever right?

Rachel Maddow your my hero.

A cheap shot at her sexuality.... That's pretty small of you. Someone's not familiar with the high road...

Its amazing how loud you have to be to, state your case or voice your opinion to someone who dont want to here it.

not gonna dispute that

But I was not replying to what Maddow or Maher said. I was replying to your comment, where you statistically deconstruct the 1%. I have nothing against that comment of yours. It is most like accurate. But I am a layman on this topic, and as a laymen I do not perceive 1% as a literal 1% of the whole population. We are talking about two very different approaches!

Wot a drop kick

That guy is just rude.

Rachel Maddow for President !
