It's not just Republican's who appreciate this. It's all of us disaffected moderate types who have been feeling politically homeless for a while. Thanks Bill. Better later than never.
And all of us anti-establishment types who would have protested the Salem witch trials, McCarthyism, and the Vietnam war if we were still alive. What the Democrats don't realize is that they, together with Big Tech and the Mainstream Media, are now the establishment.
@@mixedmartialanarchist6469 - But Trump’s policies were working. That’s the difference. I was willing to put up with his mean tweets. Small trade off. And I really wasn’t upset when Biden called a reporter a son of a bitch the other day. No big deal. All I care about is: Do his policies work?? Clearly, they don’t.
@@mixedmartialanarchist6469 oh this whole thing goes back much farther then Trump. This is the slow erosion that had been taking place for decades of government doing less for the ppl and more for itself. And I'm sure all that Chinese money that has been thrown around to buy off politicians and American company's and steal our manufacturing capability just pushed it that much faster. I didn't vote for Trump in 2016 (because I generally don't vote) and I kind of thought he was a clown but he was the first president to actually call out China and that was big for me cause every other president gave them a pass. And, even though he has a narcissistic blustery personality that, I will admit, isn't ideal for a world leader his economy did well. And at the end of the day I just want lower cost of living, cheaper gas and the ability to speak my mind. I was able to have all those things under Trump. Biden has definitely raised inflation in a hurry and like Bill pointed out in the video the Democtatic party seems to have lost its collective mind.
I am a conservative and although Bill makes fun of republicans and conservatives alot, I have always enjoyed his comedy even when it is aimed at my beliefs. I believe in free speech and will never call to cancel somebody just because their viewpoint is different than mine. Keep up the great work Bill
Well we need more people like you! I'm a liberal on many issues and vote Dem, and my conservative friends will say they hate Bill. But then you show them a clip and they laugh and agree with him. It's the us vs them nature, the partisan nature of everything that is killing us. Many conservatives think they hate Bill because they only see the clips fox news has shown them over the years, making fun of them in a very awesome way lol
Most Americans do. Fundamental rights you’ll find most Americans (including lefties like me) all stand by. Unfortunately too many people are on social media. It creates a distorted image of each other.
4:06 “ It’s not me who’s changed, it’s the Left” - Bill Maher hits the nail right on the head when summing up the political mess we’re in right now and what many traditional Democrats like myself are feeling today. Before 2020 I knew which side I was on and who was the enemy - now I’m not sure which side to be on - only the side of Common Sense !
The two of you have changed in that you now know what progressivism is, but you havent realized that. Read history under the assumption that it is thousands of years old and has never changed. Read the bible with that in mind. The truth is horrifying. It is so horrifying you will refuse to believe it
Bill Maher hits *half* of the nail right on the head when summing up the political mess we’re in right now. While "It’s not me who’s changed, it’s the Left” is true, and some far left bandwagons are harmful and need to be reigned in, at the same time "It’s not me who’s changed, it’s the Right” is *far* more true. Traditional Reagan Republicans are being drummed out of the party by a cult of personality that openly feeds on and encourages violence, often in service of racism, even against our constitutional democracy itself. That isn't happening to the other party. There are no modern-day equivalents of the Black Panthers or Weather Underground. Whats happening now to the right is *much* more extreme than anything currently happening to the left.
@@paulmcgrory5165 I laughed at the end joke. To each their own. Bill’s been the same for 25 years. Why are you watching clips of his show if you don’t think he’s funny?
I’m conservative, but I’ve always loved this guy, even if he’s attacking my opinions. We need more people like Bill Maher. You know society is spiraling down the drain when comedians are the ones speaking the truth. My God, this is ridiculous. Thank you, Bill Maher. Truly, thank you.
Actually, there's a long tradition of comedians telling the truth; i.e. pointing out the hypocrisy of the authorities. Lenny Bruce, George Carlin, others. Shakespeare used this technique, where the jester was the only one allowed to speak his mind to the king.
With what the conservative party has regurgitated in the last 10 years...I'm not so sure I'd confess to being a conservative. I voted GOP for 20 years of my life and then I saw the light...and phoniness of the right...but may have cost Al Gore the election in 2000. I went independent and have been kicking myself ever since.
Good for you Bill! I used to lean democrat but many have lost their minds. And like you said, the ones who haven't won't call out the idiocy of the others.
Right, you can always get smarter and become a Dump follower! The democrat party needs to be cleaned out, but the republican party is more dangerous and needs to be defeated big time!
No he went trump insane for awhile. He just rewoke back up and is actually a libertarian. Or classical liberal. But make no mistake, he will vote for libtards only, That's all you need to know. Iam also a classical liberal, but would never vote for libtards. I like freedom to much and limited governments so ill always stand with conservatives who aren't garbage like cheney/bush were.

@@paulrogers00 Yeah, wouldn't want any emotional women voting or working in politics. Just stable male geniuses who can do no wrong, and always vote with the country's best interests in mind. No male has every been involved in any scandal or schemes whatsoever. I understand the "only landowners should vote" mentality that the right loves to push, because it's well-known that land is owned by more people in conservative states and counties, due to low population-to-land ratio. This would basically cut out everyone living in cities (primarily democrats) from voting. You're fooling no one here.
@@paulrogers00 Yup that's what AOC job was and said the same thing as you. This was when she was crying and trying to make Trump look bad but later they found out she was lying and Obama was the one that built those cages at the border! Jimmy Kimmy even pulled that stunt (crying on tv about the kids) and more and more female viewers hated Trump after that scene.
@@chillpenguin7679 Yes, that's the worst of it. There hasn't been the steady destruction of the family unit. The murder of more African american babies than are born 7 years running. The re segregation votes in california. The complete hollowing out of the countries morals. The advocation of the death of all men. The avocation of transgender competing against women to their own detriment. The vote for things that "FEEL" right without any consideration of what is factual. The complete destruction of family court being anything near equal. The attacks on anything that would assist a man with his problems. yup, its all because of a plastic potato that allowing a bunch of female bombers to get their way was bad.
too bad you support Trump and hate democracy (you must if you support a man who wanted to subvert democracy). Grow up! Trump did not win the election, ffs!
Than you are lying about being republican or you are not that smart. Maher is always right just 2-4 years too late. hen republicans and conservative intellectuals are warning about something he is berating them and laughing at them... then 2-4 years pass and reality of truth they were describing is dick slapping him in the face so hard that even he takes notice. I doubt country needs people that are smart only after shit hit the fan and had already years to oxidate before they notice the initial impact.
As a conservative, I used to despise Bill Maher. But, these days I greatly appreciate him for repeatedly calling out the woke insanity that has taken over our country. I would gladly unite with people like Bill in order to save and restore our nation to what it once was.
I will take all the allies I can get in this fight but he still has tds and I still love 45. I think it’s good that he calls out the left but bill and I are miles apart.
@@TheIslandDivision question what side of crazy do you want. Calling the right crazy is just a way of saying what the left is doing is ok because it’s all crazy. Atm I will take right crazy over the left.

@@MsThebeMoon Not being a conservative and toeing the line of the democratic party are 2 different things. This is the exact point Bill Maher was making. He has several positions which are liberal and by extension Democrat but he doesn't kowtow to them. Being lionised by Fox News does not make him a conservative either. Bill Maher like Bari Weiss is a liberal. He just has the balls to call out BS. Other Democrats seem to have sold out their balls a long time ago and are beta. Kimmel, Colbert and Myers are the worst.
To be fair most American voters dream about silver bullet solutions that cost them nothing but provide them everything (“free” college education, “mexico” paying for a wall) at which point they wake up and realize they slept thru voting
He made some good points, but the baby alarm thing has been worked on for years, there's a lot of people for it. It's not an entirely bad idea. He's wrong that only crackheads or murderers do it. Some people do honestly forget. Would I ever buy a car with this installed? Probably not since I don't have kids. But if I had to get it, it wouldn't be the worst thing in the world. I'm not hassled by that.
RaisedontheRadio Just F**King ridiculous. I’m an independent, but most people in both parties and independents just live our lives. When voting, the GOP have been such a disgraceful party for so many years, that there’s only one other party in the general election there to vote against them. Maher doesn’t have any idea about most of us that support the many progressive issues, aren’t involved in Twitter and social media madness, and watch the climate change issue continually unaddressed with such desperation. THE GOP DOESN’T GIVE A $HIT We’re just silently exploding inside, unlike Leonardo DiCaprio releasing our true feelings in “Don’t Look Up” As our hospitals are overflowing with the workers so far beyond exasperation, we listen to Maher here.

As a conservative, you are not a hero to us Bill, you are just a beacon of hope in a seemingly ocean of left wing lunacy. You have intelligent takes and your not afraid to have discussions with those of opposing viewpoints. That shouldn’t be a high standard, but we’ll take what we can get at this point.

My unit worked quite a bit with the U.S. Marine Corps who were in control of Hue, but had a hell of an engagement with the NVA. In the end, the Corps kicked butt and resumed its control of Hue. We provided back-up when and where the Corps needed it. Great bunch of warriors, needless to say. Again, I thank You for Your interest.

I was considered a liberal in the 80s, and I am even more liberal now. But I am now considered more conservative than before. A loud and growing minority of liberals (20%?) have become unreasonable. To be fair, a loud and growing majority (80-90%?) of conservatives have become unreasonable.
Until this week when I've been watching Bill Mayer again it's been such a fucking relief. I honestly thought that literally every person had lost their minds, I've been in a waking hell for 4 years like I woke up in a different universe where down is up and up is down. Man if you see this comment Bill,I just want you to know how grateful I am that you're still you. It means the most.
As a conservative, you know it's bad when a liberal like Maher seems almost conservative by comparison to the vocal left. I might not agree with all he says but at least he speaks out. He actually stands on his morals and believes in freedoms for all. Equally. He believes in the ability to not agree on things and still try to work together to steer this great nation of ours. Good on you, Maher.
You know Bill I may not agree with you on much but good on you for having the balls to call out the insanity of the far leftists in your party. Why can't we just get back to the good ole democrats of the JFK era?
@@clintoncherry8893 The divide has never been this bad since the civil war. And media is only making things worse. We need more ppl like Bill on both sides willing to see what's wrong in their party and speak out

@@martinhermez9708 if by libertarians you mean people like Rand Paul, then that's not his audience. His audience consists of progressives or what we in spanish call progres, liber progres at max.
Bill is among the most logically consistent figures who is apart of the mainstream but not a product of the mainstream like the overwhelming majority of his professional colleagues. His lifestyle choices aside, he has real integrity and doesn’t need to get affirmation from joining whatever the cool cause of the day so happens to be. He’s had the same general messages since his Politically Incorrect days but people who are coming of age now expect him to not hold those views just because their favorite party and approach to ideas is on the line now.
I'm a conservative thank you Bill Maher for calling craziness what it is you give me hope that all parties can work together one day because we're on the same team protecting America

@@livefreeorfight598 and Republicans have all their ducks in a row. This is why we never get anywhere. The extremist in both parties are running/ruining this country.

@@parabellum5503 Not in every issue. School choice for example is a republicans change. Republicans also want to decrease regulation in general.. Note that weed could be legal in an instant because some republicans are ok with it and the entire congress is majority blue. But they campaign on prison reform and legalization, and after they win want to do an infrastructure Bill that will destroy the economy and that no one asked for.

@@parabellum5503 The lefts extremists are in power, supported by big tech, pardoned by government officials. Can you show me an example of anything close to "running amok"? Off the top of my head Democrats are having loads of highly immoral things that people dismiss with "the rights bad too". 1) Loudon County had a whole school of Democrats hide a RAPE, secretly transfer the Rapist, then had the audacity to have the righteously enraged father arrested for being a Domestic terrorist. 2) You guys also have "Justice for JoJo" (Pedo shot in Kenosha) dude spent 12 years in a federal Pen for raping boys. 3) Then you had CHAZ, it was chalk full of Rapists, Murderers, and Thieves. In fact it was so bad that the BLACK female police chief quit because she mentally couldn't take the calls from the women screaming for help. The communist slime blocked police/fire/ambulance from getting into the area. 4) The Cuomo brothers. One butchered old folks then hid the records so they "wouldn't be held against Democrats in the upcoming election. Same brother also molested numerous >Democrat< aides working for him. Freido doxxed those peoples addresses to help his brother. 5) Doxxing Children on live TV. CNN regarding the Nick Sandman slander lawsuit. 6) Look up the disgusting attitude from too many teachers since Covid, everything from publicly shaming students in class to aggressive shit talk in the hallways. 7) The sheer hypocrisy. Obama had kids in cages like Bush Jr did, but nobody cared until Trump. Biden removes the covid limits for those facitlies, not one of the monsters known as Democrats cared. And yes, using Children as political tools does qualify you as a monster.
You're a conservative and have been for years. THAT is why you're a fan of Maher. That's like a Democratic Socialist saying they're a fan of Bernie Sanders.
Yes, one of the main differences between right and left is the right can actually listen to opposing arguments and still like people despite political differences. The left can't do either.
Love you Bill - nailed it on the head once again. I used to be a proud Democrat but the direction the party has gone in made it easy for me to register as "No Party Preference" in CA. Hopefully common sense returns to the left (and right).
You will have to vote either Independent or Republican to send a message to the Democrats that you dont like the direction they are going. Once their job is in jeopardy, they will either change their way or lose their job.
Thanks Bill! The Democrats left me… Not the other way around. Now because I don’t subscribe to all the crazy policies you just listed I’m now considered to be a bigot. So ridiculous! Thanks for the sanity
I've been left all my life, but if there's anything driving me to the center, it's the left. ... And having been alive long enough to know that somebody has to have either brains or strength if we're going to live together in relative peace.
Welcome to the fight for freedom. We need every voice we can get. I'm sure we disagree on some things, but let's work together for freedom and liberty for everyone.
It’s hard to think I’ve moved more center vs the dems have moved further left. It’s like I’ve been playing the same game but for some reason, a small group of other players keep moving the goal posts.
This is a demonstration of how finding common ground can help dissolve the dangerously polarized situation we are in. I lean right but I am now much more open to considering Mr. Maher's opinions on other topics that I may not agree with.
You should be open to all considerations of any issue no matter what and no matter when. Politics, religion (or the lack thereof), opinions, charisma of the presenters et cetera should not have ANY weight on this. The only thing that should matter is the matter in question. Of course we are all human so it's not that easy, but that is the goal.
Even 20 years ago, when I disagreed with Bill politically, I've always admired him for actually being one of the few who doesn't just buy what the media says. (I certainly don't with right or left media. It's called "critical thinking.")
I have an IDEA💡 how about all of us left right and center sit down and look back at where our rights and Liberties come from according to the Founders and what happened in that providential moment of realization and why it matters still? We can start the dialog right there! 😔 As soon as the Mocking Ridicule and Intolerance begins by the superior minded we can easily identify whats wrong within our society.
A LOT of us in the Middle appreciate this, too Bill. It's not just Republicans. That "small group who lost their minds" within the Democrat Party, well, they have been making life miserable for almost everyone who isn't them.
I probably disagree with Bill on 90% of things politically, yet I know we could sit down and have a drink and have a great time and that says all I need to know. Most of us in the real world can get along with people we disagree with, people in Washington and government in general have lost their minds.
I've always been conservative but I've always likes Bill Maher. Even bought his movie Religilous. I appreciate his take on absurdity. Always have. So long as Bill holds the line of "No I get to think and say what I want" I'll continue to appreciate him.
If there's ever been a time in which a viable third party could rise, it's now. We need a practical party that reaches "average" Americans, open to sensible progression while preserving valuable traditions. A party that isn't so hamstrung by these algorithm-driven issues, with a strong focus on fixing what is ultimately wrong with the American political systems. Putting restraints and policy in place that addresses the greed and the two-party stranglehold. Many of us are sick and tired of the divisiveness and lack of tolerance that comes with the two prevailing political ideologies.
Only a catastrophic event will enable that .Maybe the looming sovereign debt crisis will catalyse a reset in the minds of the populace towards dismantling these overblown bureaucracies.
A third party has nothing to do with voters. The way the system is set up means the politicians within the current parties need to break away. The Democrats came from the Democrat-Republican Party, the Republicans from the Whigs. It would be nice to see moderates from both sides come together to form a party with some actual workable policies.
Many people would be a bit surprised how many people leaning either left or right both agree with a lotta stuff that the Libertarians have been saying...
Bill has become no better than joe Rogan with his bullshit about the virus. He only cares about being able to do his shows, he did nothing but bitch the entire time he had to do his show from his place and continues to bitch now that his shows are being cancelled due to omicron and it's also getting more apparent he's having only those that agree with him as guests like last week's lady who said " I am so done with covid" and than started to lie about masks and vaccines. Bill use to be sensible but now is just selfish.
Finally, finally, someone with a broad reach who recognizes the absurdity of the current political madness in America and isn't afraid of or beholden to anyone or any party to speak less than the truth. Bill Maher has gone from a left-leaning comedian to still left but now centrist observer of our country's maddening, well, maddening pretty much everything. I wish there were more willing to do the same, but perhaps to get so many people across the political spectrum - just look at the comments below - to come to some level of agreement on anything politics is akin to moving a mountain. Is anyone in government listening to this guy? Maybe they should.
Hello sir I would like to know how the American people is reacting to this madness? That goes against human nature what is wrong with people who make rules like this
I’m 25 years old and I feel so sick of politics. I do not believe in either party, there are so many lies, tons of deceit on both sides. Although what a gem of a person, thanks for giving me something small to believe in. Both my parents were democrats until this year my father has decided to vote republican. I feel lost in a sea , but thank you for being a tiny voice of reason.
Not a huge fan, but, wow - spot on, Maher! My grandfather, a lifetime Democrat, war vet and hunter, would be appalled at the party he championed. Same for my mom, grandma, etc.,
My dear 89 year old mom, is still a die-hard democrat mostly cause she can't stand Trump. But she can't see that the democrat party no long represents her( she's a devout MSNBC viewer). I try to show her the very things we grew up believing in as kids ( self reliance and not looking to the government for anything) is the exact opposite of today's democrat party. Imagine JFK or any democrat today saying " ask not what your country can do for you, but ask what you can do for your country'

@MIchael Kosmala It’s actually $2500 in Texas for it to be labeled as a felony vs only $900 dollars in California. So it’s over 2.5 times worse in Texas than California. I wonder why Bill Maher did not bring up that fact?
@@giantsr1eva because the prosecutors in California are saying that they won't prosecute any shoplifting. The reason theft over 1k is still prosecuted is because felonies are federal, meaning federal prosecutors now have jurisdiction and can take the case before the state prosecutors dismiss charges.

@@DeflatingAtheism That's quite a projection. We saw how anyone who dissented against Trump in the GOP was excommunicated and disposed of. Canceling primaries, villifying cabinet members that used to be praised. I think tribal politics on both sides leads to people towing the line.
Both parties have their issues but democrats ha e lost their minds. Comparing their craziness to the Republicans is not fair. That's not to say I support Republicans but I can find more Republicans that use common sense.
I dont think Republicans have. They're not saints.. but compaparing the two... Republicans have moderates, libertarians and conservatives.. democrats pushed there moderates away like me.. they only have crazy liberals and the people who disagree but are afraid to speak up against their party.
You arent actually listening. This is how it is for the extreme and vocal fringe of the democratic party, the majority are not this way at all and are sick of it too. Republicans have this image that all dems are BLM, defund the police, looting is ok, etc etc. It a caracature fed to people in a bubble. It's like saying "carrying tiki torches and chanting 'jews will not replace us' is just how the Republican party is now".
@@Heathcoatman The problem is politicians like Bernie Sanders. When will "progressives" realize that he is a politician? Don't get me wrong, much of what he says is spot on. But his base very definitely has dreams of a socialist paradise that does not, will not, and probably never WILL exist. And every speech he gives is a dog whistle to them.
You can't blame democrats for a pregnant man emoji or what a private company decided to do with Dr Seuss, most democrats would agree it's ridiculous. Republicans just try and politcise it and make out it's the democratic party. I'm a democrat and agree with Bill on most things.
@@Heathcoatman Democrats pay too much homage to this fringe. It was this that got Trump elected in the first place, and threatens to place Congress back in the hands of the Republicans. We are going to look back on Biden's tenure and smack our heads over the way that he overplayed his hand. Made Democratic pet projects his priority rather than securing our democracy.
If you're quoting that about Bill Maher, he's not liberal, conservative or Democrat. His views have changed a bit over the decades but he's always been a libertarian.
@@SB4F I think the point of the quote is that the left moves so fast, classic leftists like Maher who hold their beliefs, end up to the right of the center, hence conservative. I recall a study a few years back that compared presidential policies from the past to the current times. Based on President Obama's policies, he would have been considered conservative by 2018-20. Could be wrong but I think that's what the quote is getting at.
Yup, pretty much what happened with me. Started disagreeing with them around the time the first gay marriages were happening back in 2004. That's about when they had to start looking for more victims, and there were none. I never said anything about disagreeing with gay marriage. Learn to read.
In this one segment Bill demonstrated more backbone, courage and integrity then Colbert, Kimmel and Fallon put together have shown in their entire lifetime.
As a right leaning Republican I can honestly say Bill Maher has my complete respect. Hes old school Democrat, not one of these new age Democrats who cry about being offended by literally anything.
Oh come on. Republicans are offended by lgbtq, feeling bad about racism, crying about losing elections, whining that m&ms aren’t sexy enough. He has your respect cause this whole thing sounds like a Fox News bit
I don't agree with a few of the things he says in this monologue. Yes, a car that won't let you drink and drive is fucking great idea. Why would anyone be against that?
I’m a conservative, and I have so much respect for this guy not following the narrative! It’s good to know that there are liberals who realize how ridiculous the woke, ultra leftists actually are.
I'm watching American politics from Europe. I'm left wing. It seems to me the left in America are going to ensure republican dominance of the major political institutions for the foreseeable future. They are telling America that transgender rights to compete in women's sport is an issue of major significance for society! I've read Karl Marx' books. There's nothing in there about transgender people! The American left are destroying their cause with this nonsense.
@@Theonetrueerenyeager moderate leftists need to challenge the extremists. I came across a post on Facebook by a British socialist political party making reference to a 'pregnant person'. So this nonsense is beginning to cross the Atlantic
He pretty much does the same rant against the left and PC every week since Biden was elected. He has nothing else to talk about since Trump is gone. Same with CNN, MSNBC and Late Night as they built their whole business model on Trump.
@@j.dragon651 I disagree, Fox is doing better with Biden. Their hosts don’t have to defend Trump’s antics anymore and they can just rail on Biden 24/7. It’s the perfect business model.
Except the part about Liz Cheney....She's a Globalist/Neo-con monster just like her dad. The "Left" has embraced all these neo-con warmongers (like W.) because A: you can program them to believe literally ANYTHING (i.e. "Womxn are Disenfranchised™") and B: then REVERSE that "faith" ("allow men to compete in Womxn's sports") and the credulous SOB's will follow along with THAT
I'm a solar professional in Texas, and we have California's policies bleed into our markets. It's a very telling trend that affects more than just the solar industry! Thanks for pointing out the BS we are forced to go through.
Bill is so spot on with this! I am a life long left of center Democrat who would now rather "hold my nose" and vote R, just because the woke fringe minority that has taken over the left scares me more than the Republicans.
Republicans have a loose grip with objective factual reality and right-wing media is basically full of lies. They lie to you on the daily because they think you're stupid enough to believe them. ie. "Millions of people voted illegally, and all the votes went to Hillary/Biden" (zero evidence of this by the way).
So because of a few cultural things you dislike by a minority of people, none of which are Democratic politicians, you're going to vote for the politicians who say, on record, that Biden stole the election and that enacting voter supression on a massive scale is a good thing. Alongside actual politicians passing laws banning schools from allowing discussion of US history with regards to race and outing gay students to their parents?
Not buying you're a Democrat. If you knew our party you'd know last November the hard Left was rebuked at the polls in Buffalo NY, , Minneapolis (defund police LOST), Seattle (a Liberal mayor defeated a hard Leftist) and many other races. As I type this in Feb 2022, San Francisco voters removed three hard Left school board members. All such places are Democrat by wide margins and it sure as hell wasn't Republican's who pushed back the Hard Left. In NYC the leftist Manhattan DA is already backpedaling under pressure from mainstream Democrats. You are a Trump sock puppet. No Democrat votes for today's far right conspiracy nut party who are now rooting for Putin, by the way.

It is nice to see Bill back on point . No political party ,member or leader should be off limits. Good comedy is no holds barred.Hammer Trump,Biden Harris ,etc everyone is fair game.
@@FemmiFatale you don't get it. His argument is against the extremes. The progressives are the nutcases of the left. It's clear from the US voting split that revolutionary change isn't going to happen and that is not really what people want. What they want is incremental continuous improvement. But with the parties being so polarized in a winner take all battle this is not possible. There is a lot of noise but nothing actually gets done.
"People say to me, 'You know, you didn't used to make fun of the left as much.' " "Yeah, because they didn't give me so much to work with." Savage facts, Bill. 👏
Nah, Bill purposefully chose to ignore all the crap the left does for political and monetary purposes. Now he has no choice so but to make fun of the left because of how outrageous they have become.
@@stargazer9973 lol it's the opposite, none of the stuff he said has to do with leftwing politics. That cancel rent and mortgage tweet by some junior congresswoman asked for it for "during covid lockdowns", not in general. Mr. Potato Head is still Mr. Potato Head, Mr. was dropped from the BRAND name, not the toy, and it was done by the company, no one forced them to or even asked, same with Dr. Seuss state dropping one or two of his much lesser known books...no one asked to and "censored them". Bill is just trying to stay relevant with his exaggerated anti-woke persona.
Bill’s monologues have been on point for 30+ years. I’ve been watching since I was a teenager and it’s been a source of comforting assurance to know that there are still decent professionals paying attention and bringing light to the increasing BS nonsense that happens in the US Political and cultural arena.
Much respect to Bill Maher for having the intelligence and courage to do a rare thing in today's world - thinking for himself and not being dictated as to what to think by some corrupt political party!!!
People who leave babies in cars, on purpose or not, are also potheads. Bill is not for the low IQ as he heavily endorses pot which has a reputation for destroying families and is a big factor in the republican voter
Bill, I appreciate you always telling it how it is and how screwed up things are getting. Thanks for always being real and not selling out. You are too good for the white house.
He contributed to this crap. Look at the Covington Kids and how Maher ran with a false narrative after it was debunked. Other networks got sued and lost millions over lying, he's lucky he wasn't included.
Finally, a liberal that I can share common ground with. I lean towards the conservative side and I realize that there are some conservatives that are out there, but for the most part I believe most people can see eye to eye on the important issues so why can't our politicians?
It's not just Republican's who appreciate this. It's all of us disaffected moderate types who have been feeling politically homeless for a while. Thanks Bill. Better later than never.
And all of us anti-establishment types who would have protested the Salem witch trials, McCarthyism, and the Vietnam war if we were still alive. What the Democrats don't realize is that they, together with Big Tech and the Mainstream Media, are now the establishment.
@@mixedmartialanarchist6469 - But Trump’s policies were working. That’s the difference. I was willing to put up with his mean tweets. Small trade off. And I really wasn’t upset when Biden called a reporter a son of a bitch the other day. No big deal. All I care about is: Do his policies work?? Clearly, they don’t.
@@mixedmartialanarchist6469 oh this whole thing goes back much farther then Trump. This is the slow erosion that had been taking place for decades of government doing less for the ppl and more for itself. And I'm sure all that Chinese money that has been thrown around to buy off politicians and American company's and steal our manufacturing capability just pushed it that much faster. I didn't vote for Trump in 2016 (because I generally don't vote) and I kind of thought he was a clown but he was the first president to actually call out China and that was big for me cause every other president gave them a pass. And, even though he has a narcissistic blustery personality that, I will admit, isn't ideal for a world leader his economy did well. And at the end of the day I just want lower cost of living, cheaper gas and the ability to speak my mind. I was able to have all those things under Trump. Biden has definitely raised inflation in a hurry and like Bill pointed out in the video the Democtatic party seems to have lost its collective mind.
I moved over to the far right years ago, the left is lost
I bet most liberals still vote the liberals to rule them to the ground. NY, California...gone.
I am a conservative and although Bill makes fun of republicans and conservatives alot, I have always enjoyed his comedy even when it is aimed at my beliefs. I believe in free speech and will never call to cancel somebody just because their viewpoint is different than mine. Keep up the great work Bill

Many conservatives think they hate Bill because they only see the clips fox news has shown them over the years, making fun of them in a very awesome way lol

While "It’s not me who’s changed, it’s the Left” is true, and some far left bandwagons are harmful and need to be reigned in, at the same time "It’s not me who’s changed, it’s the Right” is *far* more true.
Traditional Reagan Republicans are being drummed out of the party by a cult of personality that openly feeds on and encourages violence, often in service of racism, even against our constitutional democracy itself. That isn't happening to the other party.

To be fair most American voters dream about silver bullet solutions that cost them nothing but provide them everything (“free” college education, “mexico” paying for a wall) at which point they wake up and realize they slept thru voting
He made some good points, but the baby alarm thing has been worked on for years, there's a lot of people for it. It's not an entirely bad idea. He's wrong that only crackheads or murderers do it.

4) The Cuomo brothers. One butchered old folks then hid the records so they "wouldn't be held against Democrats in the upcoming election. Same brother also molested numerous >Democrat< aides working for him. Freido doxxed those peoples addresses to help his brother.
5) Doxxing Children on live TV. CNN regarding the Nick Sandman slander lawsuit.
6) Look up the disgusting attitude from too many teachers since Covid, everything from publicly shaming students in class to aggressive shit talk in the hallways.

We can start the dialog right there! 😔 As soon as the Mocking Ridicule and Intolerance begins by the superior minded we can easily identify whats wrong within our society.
A LOT of us in the Middle appreciate this, too Bill. It's not just Republicans. That "small group who lost their minds" within the Democrat Party, well, they have been making life miserable for almost everyone who isn't them.
I probably disagree with Bill on 90% of things politically, yet I know we could sit down and have a drink and have a great time and that says all I need to know. Most of us in the real world can get along with people we disagree with, people in Washington and government in general have lost their minds.
I've always been conservative but I've always likes Bill Maher. Even bought his movie Religilous.
I appreciate his take on absurdity. Always have. So long as Bill holds the line of "No I get to think and say what I want" I'll continue to appreciate him.
If there's ever been a time in which a viable third party could rise, it's now. We need a practical party that reaches "average" Americans, open to sensible progression while preserving valuable traditions. A party that isn't so hamstrung by these algorithm-driven issues, with a strong focus on fixing what is ultimately wrong with the American political systems. Putting restraints and policy in place that addresses the greed and the two-party stranglehold.
Many of us are sick and tired of the divisiveness and lack of tolerance that comes with the two prevailing political ideologies.
The Forward Party - Andrew Yang!
Only a catastrophic event will enable that .Maybe the looming sovereign debt crisis will catalyse a reset in the minds of the populace towards dismantling these overblown bureaucracies.
A third party has nothing to do with voters. The way the system is set up means the politicians within the current parties need to break away. The Democrats came from the Democrat-Republican Party, the Republicans from the Whigs. It would be nice to see moderates from both sides come together to form a party with some actual workable policies.
Many people would be a bit surprised how many people leaning either left or right both agree with a lotta stuff that the Libertarians have been saying...
Hopefully more states adopt ranked choice voting like Alaska is doing. That would make third parties way more viable and likely to win.

“Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall.”
Proverbs 16:18
I'm watching American politics from Europe. I'm left wing. It seems to me the left in America are going to ensure republican dominance of the major political institutions for the foreseeable future.
They are telling America that transgender rights to compete in women's sport is an issue of major significance for society!
I've read Karl Marx' books. There's nothing in there about transgender people!
The American left are destroying their cause with this nonsense.
What about moderate leftists? It’s not like all leftists are extreme.
@@Theonetrueerenyeager moderate leftists need to challenge the extremists. I came across a post on Facebook by a British socialist political party making reference to a 'pregnant person'.
So this nonsense is beginning to cross the Atlantic
@ereh, Left is extreme. Sounds like you’re just left of center. Moderate Democrat.
This the the best segment I have ever seen from Bill.
He pretty much does the same rant against the left and PC every week since Biden was elected. He has nothing else to talk about since Trump is gone. Same with CNN, MSNBC and Late Night as they built their whole business model on Trump.
@@chrisolivo6591 you forgot to mention Fox, OAN, etc. who did the same thing. The man was a gold mine, they all want him back.
@@j.dragon651 I disagree, Fox is doing better with Biden. Their hosts don’t have to defend Trump’s antics anymore and they can just rail on Biden 24/7. It’s the perfect business model.
Your so spot on Bill
Thanks Bill for being real. Everything you said is true.
Except the part about Liz Cheney....She's a Globalist/Neo-con monster just like her dad. The "Left" has embraced all these neo-con warmongers (like W.) because A: you can program them to believe literally ANYTHING (i.e. "Womxn are Disenfranchised™") and B: then REVERSE that "faith" ("allow men to compete in Womxn's sports") and the credulous SOB's will follow along with THAT
This last year bill has been on fire
I'm a solar professional in Texas, and we have California's policies bleed into our markets. It's a very telling trend that affects more than just the solar industry! Thanks for pointing out the BS we are forced to go through.
Is there a reason why Americans have only two polarized parties to choose from? This is a sincere question.
Bill is killing it lately. Awesome show last night.
Bill is so spot on with this! I am a life long left of center Democrat who would now rather "hold my nose" and vote R, just because the woke fringe minority that has taken over the left scares me more than the Republicans.
Republicans have a loose grip with objective factual reality and right-wing media is basically full of lies. They lie to you on the daily because they think you're stupid enough to believe them. ie. "Millions of people voted illegally, and all the votes went to Hillary/Biden" (zero evidence of this by the way).
@@zenon3021 He'd rather cut off his own nose because of culture war issues. 🤡
So because of a few cultural things you dislike by a minority of people, none of which are Democratic politicians, you're going to vote for the politicians who say, on record, that Biden stole the election and that enacting voter supression on a massive scale is a good thing. Alongside actual politicians passing laws banning schools from allowing discussion of US history with regards to race and outing gay students to their parents?
Not buying you're a Democrat. If you knew our party you'd know last November the hard Left was rebuked at the polls in Buffalo NY, , Minneapolis (defund police LOST), Seattle (a Liberal mayor defeated a hard Leftist) and many other races. As I type this in Feb 2022, San Francisco voters removed three hard Left school board members. All such places are Democrat by wide margins and it sure as hell wasn't Republican's who pushed back the Hard Left. In NYC the leftist Manhattan DA is already backpedaling under pressure from mainstream Democrats. You are a Trump sock puppet. No Democrat votes for today's far right conspiracy nut party who are now rooting for Putin, by the way.
@@dominictemple
"voter supression" How exactly does that happen?
California thinks you’re going to snort your shed. OMG! I laughed my ass off. Love you, Bill.
That what people who are now needing lung transplant and dying of lung cancer said about asbestos.
**snorts**
Oh yeah, that's some good shed right there!
@@justgivemethetruth if only wood was ever used as a building material for thousands of years so we would know long term health detriments of saw dust and wooden splinters.. To be honest, a warning label next to books would be nice too something like "Warning: This material is flammable and is known to be the no #1 cause of paper cuts."
justgivemethetruth
You’re correct! And for those that know horrors of lung failure and what the patients and families are going through, your post spells it out
Hey, in California you never know!
Love this guy!! Guts and brains and common sense.
Bill Maher's got it. When it comes to the left *and* the right. He's always had it. No matter what side of anything anyone is on if they do stupid, ridiculous, idiotic crap he's coming after them and thank the stars for that. Happy Birthday Bill and many more.
That's funny because it was the right who cancelled Bill's previous show.
Ya, he's got simplistic answers to complex problems.
The fundamentalist right has been dead for nearly a decade now.
@@mypillowguy445 the left cancels everything dont even compare
And somehow some people still hating him, not saying his always right but wtf! 😓
As a conservative... I thought this was hilarious and refreshing. More of this please.
As a right-leaning independent, I have never agreed with Maher politically, but I have always found him funny, and I respect his consistency.
I was a big fan of both Politically Incorrect and Religulous.
Keep up the good work.
on voting day I celebrate my independence ...I'm an independent-conservative / capitalist 😊
Well put
Save the smile for your boyfriend and the straight porn you watch
These political titles are a huge part of the problem. No more gangs...lets just come together.
@@aaronbrutus2654 I never claimed to be a part of any gang, and "right leaning independent" is not a title, it is a quick summarized description of my own political beliefs.
It would be great if we could all just come together and find some middle ground, but unfortunately we are at a point where two halves of this nation are fundamentally divided over what is best for the country and it's citizens.
If you can find a middle ground there, more power to you, but I sure can't see it.
As a conservative Republican, I do not agree with a lot of things Bill Maher says, but I’ve always respected the hell out of him.
Seriously how do Democrats look at their policies and go... Yeahhh this will get us votes
Because they know there are people who vote blue no matter who
They just took the WH, the House and the senate.
Because policies like police reform and universal healthcare are popular healthcare.
Name the bad policies. Not the pejorative talking points from Sarah Palin or something, like "they're for open borders and socialism!". No, what is the actual bad policies you think are so bad?
Don't worry, I'll wait
Which ones don't you agree with?
It is nice to see Bill back on point . No political party ,member or leader should be off limits. Good comedy is no holds barred.Hammer Trump,Biden Harris ,etc everyone is fair game.
@@FemmiFatale you don't get it. His argument is against the extremes. The progressives are the nutcases of the left. It's clear from the US voting split that revolutionary change isn't going to happen and that is not really what people want. What they want is incremental continuous improvement. But with the parties being so polarized in a winner take all battle this is not possible. There is a lot of noise but nothing actually gets done.
Progressive ain't cool anymore bruh.
LOL.. he is a democrat.. until the democrats hold all political power.. then he is an independent.
It always has been until 2021!
@@FemmiFatale don't think he's worried about progressives taking power
Thank you Bill! We needed this voice.
It would be nice if he didn't just make up shit to be mad at.
@@scottwmackey What has he made up? It would be nice if the left was so bat shit crazy!
@@dominiquejones6758 Pretty much every position he's accused the Democrats of holding. He's not describing me or a single Democrat I know.
@@scottwmackey Ikr like wtf. Out of touch.
@@dominiquejones6758 Read your comment again and try again.
Thank God for Bill Maher! You're a hero. The Republican and Democratic party have both gone extremely crazy! Thank you for calling it out.
"People say to me, 'You know, you didn't used to make fun of the left as much.' "
"Yeah, because they didn't give me so much to work with."
Savage facts, Bill. 👏
They have actually, look at Norm McDonald. What bullshit.
@@Aristocratic_Utensil
Norm was a savage too. 😃 👍
@@hyacinthlynch843 That he was, openly says " here is the president and the first bitch " referring to the Clintons, thats some balls.
Nah, Bill purposefully chose to ignore all the crap the left does for political and monetary purposes. Now he has no choice so but to make fun of the left because of how outrageous they have become.
@@stargazer9973 lol it's the opposite, none of the stuff he said has to do with leftwing politics. That cancel rent and mortgage tweet by some junior congresswoman asked for it for "during covid lockdowns", not in general. Mr. Potato Head is still Mr. Potato Head, Mr. was dropped from the BRAND name, not the toy, and it was done by the company, no one forced them to or even asked, same with Dr. Seuss state dropping one or two of his much lesser known books...no one asked to and "censored them".
Bill is just trying to stay relevant with his exaggerated anti-woke persona.
Bill’s monologues have been on point for 30+ years. I’ve been watching since I was a teenager and it’s been a source of comforting assurance to know that there are still decent professionals paying attention and bringing light to the increasing BS nonsense that happens in the US Political and cultural arena.
I guess he could at least read Teleprompters better than joe with his 30 years experience
He has been an idiot his whole life. Wtf you talking about
Bill helped create the crazy leftists he's now against
Frankenstein and his monster
Sorry to hear that you are a one of Mahers self loathing American followers.
The past 4-5 years he went off the deep end. He is only now starting to be rational again. If you don’t see that then you’re part of the problem.
Much respect to Bill Maher for having the intelligence and courage to do a rare thing in today's world - thinking for himself and not being dictated as to what to think by some corrupt political party!!!
Yes but what about the GOP CRIMINAL CONSPIRACY?
BUT WHAT ABOUT THE GENDER-NEUTRAL POTATO HEAD!? Fox News told me to be outraged by that, and i am! Deeply!!
People who leave babies in cars, on purpose or not, are also potheads. Bill is not for the low IQ as he heavily endorses pot which has a reputation for destroying families and is a big factor in the republican voter
Same here. From hating him to being a fan it's good to see most have the ballz to stand up to the disgusting Dems.
@@DimitriosChannel Democrats are not disgusting, Trump is actually. Loving Maher too
Probably one of my favorite New Rule's.
Bill, I appreciate you always telling it how it is and how screwed up things are getting. Thanks for always being real and not selling out.
You are too good for the white house.
Not selling out?
Lol. Not selling out? What a joke. This man will walk the party line time and time again.
Or I'll put it a way even the OP can understand:
Wokeness, am I right? 🤣
Anyway people don't deserve Healthcare AMIRITE BOIS?!
The Democrats can see the culture is changing against them
He contributed to this crap. Look at the Covington Kids and how Maher ran with a false narrative after it was debunked. Other networks got sued and lost millions over lying, he's lucky he wasn't included.
Finally, a liberal that I can share common ground with. I lean towards the conservative side and I realize that there are some conservatives that are out there, but for the most part I believe most people can see eye to eye on the important issues so why can't our politicians?
Are mr. Potato head and gender neutral toys important political issues. Don’t pretend you live off frivolous culture war issues
Because fame and fortune go to the most extreme.
Because it is to their advantage that we don't.
@@chinmaypurohit3431 Cry
Just remember that “Liberal” and “Leftist” aren’t the same thing.
Thank you, Bill Maher! Finally, some sanity being spoken and acknowledging something called 'the truth' and not 'my truth'! Keep up the great work!
You need to watch FOX. Bill is repeating their arguments. Have you watch the Five or Gutfeld??
umm.. Republican here. Bill sounds exactly like me making fun of you Democrats and fence sitters. Been doing it for DECADES!
I despise the term “my truth”
Its hard not to like this guy. That roast was A1 and he is now my secondfavorite guy named Bill. ✌
First is Bill Burr. ☝
