Roger McNamee: Brain Hacking | Real Time with Bill Maher (HBO) 

Let the man speak!

It would have been nice if Bill let him finish his sentences. I actually wanted to know what he was going to say on a lot of these issues, but instead he keeps cutting him off to ask him another question that he won't let him answer.

Wish bill wouldn't have interrupted the guy so much.

I would’ve loved to hear more from this fascinating guest.

Damn it, Bill! Let the guy explain his observations instead of interrupting him.

let Roger talk!

LET HIM TALK BILL!!!!!!!

Bill, stop interrupting, just let the man answer your questions!

I was on the edge of my seat listening to McNamee give full, explanatory, intelligent answers, but Maher kept interrupting him! Please let the guest finish speaking, Bill!

Damn it Bill, stop interrupting!

Roger is brilliant. Bravo for taking a stand against Facebook and their greed. I deleted my account in 2012. The best thing I ever did.

Let the smarter man talk, Bill!

bill please let your guests speak and don't interrupt them every third sentence

I wish Bill would stop interupting. The guy's talking about the sinister way people can be manipulated through their phones, and Bill wants to talk about: "What are people looking at when they cross the street while on their phones". Listen and you might learn something!

LET HIM TALK BILL!! FOR F*CKS SAKE!!

Bill nailed it: "They (tech companies) are just like the oil companies."

This should have been a thirty minute conversation.

Bill Maher needs to STFU and let the guest talk. He keeps cutting him off

Jesus christ Bill, let the guest talk

Come on Bill, please let your guests say what they want/need to say without you interrupting. You do have very interesting and intelligent guests, I would like to hear what they say.

damn it maher ..let the man finish talking before cutting him off! It's exasperating seeing this clip. :p

Wow, as an interviewer, Bill Maher really has a lot to learn ... Hey Bill, look at Larry King or someone of his quality; they don't interrupt the interviewee or keep prolonging questions because they hope they find a joke somewhere that's finally funny.

Would’ve been interesting to hear his solutions. Stop talking so much during your one-on-one, Bill!

Lovya, Bill, but don't answer your own questions. Great guest!!

Watching this on my smartphone...just woke up.

Bill, Let him finish his points ffs!! He always interrupts his guests.. you brought them on to speak their message not to have you talk their heads off!! lol

God dammit let him speak! Bill is great but he doesn't let his guests finish their sentences.

Kinda like to hear what the man has to say, Bill... But for some reason you didn't really want that to happen.

Jesus bill, stop interrupting

"Social Media" ironically enough gives us far more power to divide ourselves. We voluntarily divide ourselves within cyberspace based on what views we're comfortable with, who we like, etc. The days where we were all forced to deal with people who disagree with us are quickly fading into memory. You want people to be able to tolerate each other? Then convince them to socialise with the "other group".

This is amazing. Thank you.

How about you let him finish his points Bill? I´m not saying I agree with everything he´s saying but fuck let him finish what he´s saying and we might better understand him.

I’m watching this on my smartphone within 2 minutes of waking up...

Facebook is censuring anyone who has criticism of israel, whys don't they talk about that?.

Roger, I hope you get through to them!

He looks like Dana Carvey's long lost twin.

First thing in the morning that i do , is pick up the phone and Stop the Alarm , than i make my coffee.!!!!

Maybe we should try teaching our children and each other to think. It might be a faster route to rationality.

He looks like Harry from Night Court..

Wow...Roger McNamee is brilliant. I hope he can spawn the change he and well all kno is needed. I got of Facebook , Twitter years ago as I could feel it turning my brain into mush.

I'm going to post this on facebook

WTF Bill? Let the guest talk! Very BAD interview

I'm a big fan of the show, but Bill Maher needs to let his guest talk. The guy was interrupted over 5 times. It was more Maher just griping than an interview or even a conversation. I actually wanted to hear what this guy has to say, and Maher just kept budging in any time he was trying to make a point.

Facebook to get the news? lol. And when i have dental problems i go to my barber.

I haven't used facebook since June 2017. don't care about it anymore. I don't have instagram or twitter either. the only thing I enjoy using is RU-vid and browsing the web.

Best thing I ever did was quit Stalkbook. Not because I'm stupid, or under educated, or anything like that. It made me go outside and life an actual life, not a virtual one. And the friends I had that wouldn't contact me because I wasn't on FB? No loss.

I'm playing a game on my phone while listening to this video:D

Carlin would have had so much fun with this topic

As a Russian who's been on the issue of their information war for years, i can confirm that Kremlin indeed has been a major factor in the election of Trump.

I'm watching this on my phone....oh well

Social media gives the average person the ability to be their own propagandist which the world definitely does not need more of - propaganda.

Tune in, turn on, drop out.

I left FB years ago. I felt more isolated than connected to people. Also, I absolutely didn't care if my friend was waiting in line at the movies. In the 90s, I grew up without cell phones or social media. Leaving FB wasn't a big deal to me. I have a cell phone that's old and basic; I can't even go online with it LOL For me, it's weird to see a group of people hanging out, and they're all on their cell phones. They don't say one word to each other.

Roger McNamee say all the right things, but, please, give him a chance to actually SAY something! This interview is horrible - Mr. McNamee could only "inject" some words and phrases into the Bill's monologue. :(

fuck technology (as i use my "smartphone"). what's most interesting about this interview is the impatience of Bill to let Roger answer how Roger addressed the systemic issues. This dude was about to answer a very big question and yet you (Bill) cut him off.

Good interview. Love Bill Maher. I agree with what the guest was saying. I wish that Facebook and Google had never been designed. It has changed society and not for the better.

Fear and Anger...two of the strongest human emotions!

this video needs to be seen by the millions, it needs to go viral

I don't get the whole phone addiction either, I've gone days without even looking at my phone, I may have forgotten it existed but that still counts

This guy is brilliant. Makes me feel like a dumb guy lol. Thank you for your insightful information and thank you Bill Maher.

3:03 finally someone said it to Bill. I hope he can be a panel guest he puts Bill back to the the life of the regular people.

You need to go back to Edward Bernays to understand the origins of "brain hacking"...

Please let people finish their answers. Stop talking over them.

Wow Roger really knows his stuff. I wish Bill would let him share more with us...

Yes!!!!!

I was at a concert with Roger this weekend and he was looking at his smart phone for over 90% of the event.

I feel like this is just the most important interview I may have ever watched.

PLEASE stop interrupting, Bill!

Bill may to have had to cut him off at the end, but it is a good thing to have heard this man speak on the show. Really fascinating points of view.

That's why I m a healthy person, I barely look at my phone if I m not expecting a call. Therefore I got to say, it has nothing to do with generations, but with people. This means that people don't care for people and a human approach is needed.

Holy cow, Bill needs to shut up when Roger is talking. Roger was speaking about interesting points and topics, but Bill was too concerned about making a quip or a throw-away joke.

He iIS a singer in rock band; Moonalice, along with the great Pete Sears (Jefferson Starship, Rod Stewart), John Molo, and Barry Sless.

Bill needs to be a better listener!

RESIST- go back to landlines- LOL

Damn Bill let the dude speak...

I was close to stop watching because Bill kept interrupting. Let your guests talk, Bill. It was a little hard to follow what the man was saying.

the first thing some people do is checking their smartphone because it usually has the alarm clock going off, so they need to check the phone, to go into snooze mode for "5 more minutes".

Bill should shut up more and listen. He cut off his guest way too often.

Wow Dana Carvey is really smart

Bill let him talk!

Facebook is tracking your engine searches and browsing

Does not know how to listen

Most generationals check there phone when they wake up since it's there alarm clock

Roger McNamee Hit the nail on the head..Listen folks to some truth.

Doesn't hurt to be realistic & creative like Roger.

There are options to block ads out of your stream or browser itself. Its a sad situation.

Adding my voice to the others here - Bill, let the man speak!!!!

Love how all these people say he is blaming ads are proving they didn't actually hear what he was saying.

If you're fearful or angry you pay more attention to ads. Um what?

Let him speak Bill!

Bill is like the drunk uncle who listens to the pro sports commentator and yells along "yeah! and they should all play better too!"

7:50 bill interrupts the guest before he makes a point

I didn't notice, but I must be old. I didn't know you could get news on facebook. All I ever see is dumb memes, goofy kids/animals, and snapshots of food.

So glad I'm still a freak without a phone...

bill cut him off SO many times lol

Common Sense Media? No, no, no!

Yeah after all the interruptions I just decided to track the fuckin' book down lol.

So I'm watching this on Facebook does that mean my brain is hacked? Where would I have found that out if I didn't catch this on the internet?

Fake news wouldn't be such a big issue if people actually bothered to do some fact-checking for just 10-15 minutes a day. Unfortunately, whenever various aspects of life become much easier and more comfortable (due to technology), people adapt to being able to live more passive lives, and as a result, activities that are not passive will become greater annoyances than they were back in earlier times when people regularly had to do those things and were thus more adapted to those active things. The more comfortable our lives are, the more a slight challenge will begin to feel like a major challenge for our bodies and minds: If you are a couch potato who has become used to watching Netflix all day, and there is a remote on a table that lies beyond your reach, it's going to be a bit harder for you to work up the strength to get the remote than it would be if you had to get up all the time for other reasons. I think that the relationship between Internet surfing and fact-checking is like this, and that's one of the things that we're going to have to keep in mind as life becomes easier with more and more "advancement".

Bill, I invite you to a Hangout On Air about this.
