BILL you have NO IDEA how poor the middle class is getting you are OUT OF TOUCH - the food prices alone have DESTROYED my savings just to feed my family every day! OUT. OF. TOUCH.
He is a comedian not a politician. I am in the same boat as you. I do believe that he at least understands the crazy corruption in Washington and is more and discerning and has not succumbed to TDS. God Bless you and I'm hopeful we can begin to pull ourselves out of this economic struggle with leadership of the Trump administration.
Bill asked, “Who’s facts?”. I remember him mocking Kelly Anne’s “Alternative Facts” and now he is validating that term. Facts don’t belong to anyone, they just are.
Righto. Alternative facts. Like Russia Gate. The Pee Tapes. Vaccines are safe and effective. Covid originated in a wet market. Hunter Biden's laptop. Joe Biden's dementia. Trans women are women. And from 25 years ago, "Islam is a religion of peace." Those are just the "alterative facts" that come into mind easily. I am certain that almost everything that the Democratic Party shoves down our throats belong to this category.
Bill doesn't have to worry about things that affect average Americans. The price of gas and groceries don't affect him. I watched Bills last podcast and HE SAID his main issues are the environment and pot. He is the last person is would take political advice from.

I have been a follower, not just a fan, of Bill Maher since he launched Politically Incorrect. He is a voice of reason and sanity in an insane world. Bill has convinced me not to write off the people with whom I disagree so vigorously. I've come to see that there are grains of truth underneath the crazy talk. So instead of rejecting them as total idiots, I now look for the those little truths that I can understand and even agree with. I am listening more and arguing less. I owe that to Bill. And I've also become a Stephen A. follower and I give him kudos for showing that he's way more than a sports analyst, just as Bill is way more than a comedian. They both talk sense.
Bill helped create this left mess because he has no idea what is going on with everyday Americans. Example, Dennis Prager told Bill that they are putting tampons in boy's bathrooms. Bill laughed and said he was crazy...now fast forward to today. Bill thinks he's smarter than what he is. Bill also wanted Gavin Newsom for president. Don't confuse Bill letting people talk with Bill actually listening and using reason. Bill also said he would never be a republican...normal people have no problem voting for a good candidate regardless of party.
I also stared listening to Bill Maher on Politically incorrect when he said he had been a Democrat since he was seven years old. At one time he was putting on ordinary people mixed with celebrities. Almost all of the ordinary people were leaning toward conservatism. They were almost always more knowledgeable than Bill and his liberal celebrities. It was so one sided that most liberal celebs. did not want to appear on his show so Bill discontinued having ordinary people as guest.
I remember multiple times of Bill Maher very confidently saying "Kamala will win, I'm calling it" on his show, here he says he was ready for Trump to win. What a weird little spin
Agreed, DNC picks their candidate for us. Bernie was ahead in the primaries back in 2020 and the democrats did what they had to do to make sure their guy Biden won.
I’m 54. That’s when I left the Democratic Party. Seeing Donna Brazil and the DNC do everything they can to crown Clinton and bury Sanders was it. That and the riots the left we’re doing every time they didn’t get there way was eye opening
Bill Maher has been “cancelled”but he never lets it stop him. Only the now-deceased comedians like Robin Williams or Red Fox could get away with as much.
Great conversation. Some have called me extreme right. But to hear an intelligent conversation between two intelligent people is a relief. We need more political discourse like this. Good interview Steven A.

I love the argument , they are “millionaires”. They have this much $ so the points are invalid. Is so ridiculous and nonsensical How about assess the merit of the points with some critical thinking.
Elon Musk did not make twitter more right wing. The leftists simply left in protest after dissenting opinions offended them. when it was an even playing feild, it was simply more than leftists could handle.
This conversation is comedic gold. Both thought that the country basically moves forward and therefore Harrz would get in. Meaning they both think this (moving fwd) is not what happened.
Curious how many independents on here were democrats until recently. I left that evil party a long time ago after studying history and seeing what they stand for. I consider myself a centered conservative independent.
I love Maher’s attitude. It reminded me of when I took the Dale Carnegie,’s Self Improvement class many years ago. The first night of class, the very first thing, the instructor said was that circumstances are never, ever positive or negative. It depends on how we choose to handle them.
On the topic of censorship, it's mind blowing to me that people in the EU are getting more prison time for posting their opinions online than someone who car jacks someone or stabs someone....the U.S needs to take a hard look at that and ask themselves if that's the world they really want to live in. If you look at states like California and New York, they will gladly copy something like this on the state level because they want compliance and they WILL overstep their boundaries to make it happen as they've shown time and time again.

Bill Maher .. was politically incorrect when it was the liberals that were politically incorrect...and the right were uptight... Glad he didn't move with the herd ... It's always best to be independent.. instead of being right or left .. thinking for yourself is the minority unfortunately....
Many people get it...that's not the point. The issue is Trump is the wrong messenger and Bill said that clearly. He is completely immoral and lacks character. Nothing good can come from him...Just wait and see
No they are not. Both are delusional. SA is not to be trusted and bends the knee to even slight pushback. Maher is completely lost, but he only accepts he is outmoded in his idealogy
I have the same amount of respect for Bill Maher as Stephen A - and his message is a good one, we don't have to agree on everything but we have to talk to each other.
Bill, I’m one of your biggest fans and I’m a conservative. I’m an independent but I’m a conservative independent. If you left You Tube I would seriously miss you I just finished watching and on the subject of Kamala vs Trump. You nailed it on one of your other shows. We Trump voters aren’t voting for Trump. WE were voting against Kamala. I have voted democrat in the past as well as Republican. But Kamala and/or Biden has been the worst 4 yr government in my history and I’m 70. Keep up the good work Bill
Under Trump I lost 200 thousand dollars in my 401K, under Biden I made the same amount back. Yes groceries are higher, but inflation was going down, gas was going down, some groceries were going down. Trump has said he is cutting taxes on the rich, which means more taxes for me, who is retired with a set pension. Tariffs make goods cost more. Most of those goods are not made in the United States.

It's hilarious how twitter is a conservative place now yet it is basically a 50/50 split between conservatives and liberals. Bill once again is talking out of his butt.
I felt like Maher said a number of things that came from his bias that were incorrect and just opinionated. He's not as unbiased as he tries to sound. But I still prefer listening to him over most online. He is himself and not influenced by others.
Hi Steven & Bill Maher - I just have to give you my own .02 cents worth. You two intelligent men need to give ELON MUSK his space to continue to grow. He is a CARING INTELLIGENT MAN, that is different from most wealthy people. I like and respect ELON for his fearless attitude. I love his honesty and his openness about his thinking. Thank you Stephen & Bill Maher, you both have my respect. From a fearless lady from Texas. 🤗❤️🫶
I lean right of center but not enough to capsize the row boat. So i find some of Steven A Smith and Bill Maher points of view spot on or close enough to agree with them on stuff.
Don't agree with Bill hardly ever but I'm glad Trump's America is giving him a platform to perform. Even though I don't see eye to eye with Bill I enjoy his takes on different topics!
I don’t see eye to eye with him. I don’t see completely eye to eye with Trump either. We should all be able to have a voice as well as disagreements and at the end of the day, be Americans together. Well said dude
@@LA-84-FM so anybody see eye to eye with everybody all the time really? what we need to be able to do is see the points other people have and not just blindly love one side and vilify the other

By saying that, he meant that he doesn't care about money, so he might actually do a good job. There's no threat based on him trying to capitalize on entering the government, as some politicians in Europe do.
There are no elite people in this world . Especially in the government, because okay, maybe you can call yourself kind of elite, if you've worked hard to get where you are and you have a lot of money.But when you've just stolen the money, there's nothing elite about that, that's called a crook
With the big CA fire where is the high Adam Schiff ? CA democrats voted for him can’t he help out the Mayor & Governor who we tried to impeach but Hollywood saved him!!! I hope he can help LA now that they are burned
I think you are on the right track when you offend everyone, on the left and right! We have to be willing to take criticism and be honest work ourselves. Thanks Bill Maher
I’ve been a fan of Maher for 30+ years, but it’s easy for him to downplay the risk Musk poses with trump in the WH when he isn’t poor, working poor, or middle-class, so he isn’t going to lose his Medicaid, SSD, SNAP, public schools, school lunches, or Medicare….so he’s really looking from a lofty safe space of wealth and privilege
Every time I hear someone on the left start to make sense, they say something ridiculous. Like saying Harris was any kind of decent for our country. She was a moron
No, the current 34 count convicted felon, president elect, if you want to call him that, is the damn moron and anyone that voted for him and I'm a republican but I was smart enough not to drink the Jim Jones koolaid.
That’s not great it makes the world unstable. It’s only good for the people that need drama to be entertained. There is a reason why trump lost the election after his first presidency.
Because we agree with her politics, duh. Trump doesn’t have a plan for healthcare, housing or anything else. He duped people into believing immigration and tariffs will make life more affordable. Stupid stupid country.
As a poor person it seems crazy to me that you can say a person who’s had a trillion great genius ideas and made billions off those ideas has “too much money” and should be limited. Those same people are saying we should leave hunter Biden alone
He is definately one of the most reasonable voices in the room, and willing to say what needs to be said. That is something, and very few do it as well as he does. Hes been right about a lot of things too

Wow listening to 2 millionaires tell me how things aren’t so bad out here after seeing homeless people all day and people dying because they don’t have health insurance
the world always had alot of bad... since the dawn of time/// you just landed on earth?
@ what’s your point that we should just accept it or ignore it
@@NoSpinster0909you can be mad but all you sound like is the the 2016 leftist that only cry about problems and not talk about real solutions. Trump doesn’t have solutions he just makes promises and blames the democrats when he can’t get something done. Like his first presidency.
@@NoSpinster0909 Both. Accept it and ignore it.
I love the argument , they are “millionaires”. They have this much $ so the points are invalid. Is so ridiculous and nonsensical
How about assess the merit of the points with some critical thinking.
Elon Musk did not make twitter more right wing. The leftists simply left in protest after dissenting opinions offended them. when it was an even playing feild, it was simply more than leftists could handle.
Yup!
Garrett, you are just simple as a rock aren't you
Exactly. Every ideology is welcome there, and be challenged.
Wrong. It is. now a right wing cesspool of propaganda.
This conversation is comedic gold. Both thought that the country basically moves forward and therefore Harrz would get in. Meaning they both think this (moving fwd) is not what happened.
Curious how many independents on here were democrats until recently. I left that evil party a long time ago after studying history and seeing what they stand for. I consider myself a centered conservative independent.
I have always been a #centristvoter. I believe these voters swing most elections. Both parties should be asking why @realdonaldtrump won!
Your name says it all. My guess is you stopped studying the “history”around 1963 and didn’t bother to read about the southern strategy.
Magnificent Bill and Stephen A.
Two of my favorite people finally get together and talk. I wish you would make a podcast together, it would break the all time viewing records!
Bill had SAS on his Club Random podcast a few weeks ago. It’s also on UA-cam.
Bill you are one of them Period .Thank you mr Smith that you are fearless
I love Maher’s attitude. It reminded me of when I took the Dale Carnegie,’s Self Improvement class many years ago. The first night of class, the very first thing, the instructor said was that circumstances are never, ever positive or negative. It depends on how we choose to handle them.
Both you guys will be more than okay no matter who’s in office. (:
nice interview. i'm 100% in agreement with Maher
On the topic of censorship, it's mind blowing to me that people in the EU are getting more prison time for posting their opinions online than someone who car jacks someone or stabs someone....the U.S needs to take a hard look at that and ask themselves if that's the world they really want to live in. If you look at states like California and New York, they will gladly copy something like this on the state level because they want compliance and they WILL overstep their boundaries to make it happen as they've shown time and time again.
Hungary, the favorite nation of the people you prefer, is among the most repressive European states, let alone the EU alone.
Do anti-BDS laws ring a bell to you?
@@earningzekrom4173is hungry sending cops to throw people in jail for reposting memes on social media that “give people anxiety”. Your parroting of lies doesn’t work anymore
Only the right and republicans are censoring people they are the ones banning books
I appreciate Bills centrist take on the world, i dont always agree, but it's always good to hear a different perspective grounded in facts.
These two men are like “fore play” without an ending! Period!
These two are finally getting it
They don’t get it
They called x right wing
Now that we can actually talk n tel the truth n the left can’t spew their comical propaganda they hate it
They hate free speech
They hate being challenged
They can’t win without censorship
U know it
I know it
They know it
Bill Maher .. was politically incorrect when it was the liberals that were politically incorrect...and the right were uptight... Glad he didn't move with the herd ... It's always best to be independent.. instead of being right or left .. thinking for yourself is the minority unfortunately....
Until they say he’s the best president ever, they are still wrong. Trump goat 2025
Many people get it...that's not the point. The issue is Trump is the wrong messenger and Bill said that clearly. He is completely immoral and lacks character. Nothing good can come from him...Just wait and see
No they are not. Both are delusional. SA is not to be trusted and bends the knee to even slight pushback. Maher is completely lost, but he only accepts he is outmoded in his idealogy
I have the same amount of respect for Bill Maher as Stephen A - and his message is a good one, we don't have to agree on everything but we have to talk to each other.
Bill, I’m one of your biggest fans and I’m a conservative. I’m an independent but I’m a conservative independent. If you left You Tube I would seriously miss you
I just finished watching and on the subject of Kamala vs Trump. You nailed it on one of your other shows. We Trump voters aren’t voting for Trump. WE were voting against Kamala. I have voted democrat in the past as well as Republican. But Kamala and/or Biden has been the worst 4 yr government in my history and I’m 70. Keep up the good work Bill
Under Trump I lost 200 thousand dollars in my 401K, under Biden I made the same amount back. Yes groceries are higher, but inflation was going down, gas was going down, some groceries were going down. Trump has said he is cutting taxes on the rich, which means more taxes for me, who is retired with a set pension. Tariffs make goods cost more. Most of those goods are not made in the United States.
@@bevbhart yeah and my retirement fund shrunk significantly under Biden. It happens
I’ve gained so much respect for Smith and Maher. These kind of mindsets unity the country. Someone like me have enjoyed their conversations
As a Trump supporting republican, I am a BIG fan of Maher. He speaks his mind and isn’t afraid to offend ANYONE! God speed Bill.
Bill is brilliantly capitalistic. He speaks to his pocket…..
Except Israel, he never says anything to offend Israel
I like Bill, but he is an athiest so I don't think he wants God speed.
THANKS STEPHEN A. SMITH FOR ANOTHER CLASSIC EPISODE 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉YEAH, YOU HAD ONE OF THE FOUNDATIONAL MONUMENT IN COMEDY 😃 ON AS A GUEST 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾IT'S BEEN A MINUTE SINCE I GET TO SEE OR HEAR ANYTHING ABOUT OR FROM HIM😅😅😅😅😅😅👍🏽🥦🥝🫛🥦🌎🌎🥦🥝🫛🥝🫛🥦🥝🥦🫛🥝🥦🫛🥝🥦🫛🥝🫛🥦🍸🍸🍸🍸🍸🍸🍸🍸🍸🍸🍸🍸🍸🍸🍸🍸🍸🍸🍸🍸🍸🍸🍸🍸🍸🍸🍸🍸🍸🍸🍸🍸🍸🍸🍸🍸🍸🍸🍸🍸🍸🍸🍸🍸🍸🍸🍸🍸🍸
It's hilarious how twitter is a conservative place now yet it is basically a 50/50 split between conservatives and liberals. Bill once again is talking out of his butt.
Yep, Musk leveled the playing field, so now it is tilted right in Maher's bizzarro world.
Good interview ❤❤❤
What he said about Twitter is factually incorrect. Elon made it closer to 50/50 left and right, according to CNN
I felt like Maher said a number of things that came from his bias that were incorrect and just opinionated. He's not as unbiased as he tries to sound. But I still prefer listening to him over most online. He is himself and not influenced by others.
Exactly. He showed he is still a delusional hack
Also more liberal people took their ball and went home by going to Bluesky
Elon turned X into a right-wing hellscape
Great interview. Fabulous content!!
Hi Steven & Bill Maher - I just have to give you my own .02 cents worth. You two intelligent men need to give ELON MUSK his space to continue to grow. He is a CARING INTELLIGENT MAN, that is different from most wealthy people. I like and respect ELON for his fearless attitude. I love his honesty and his openness about his thinking. Thank you Stephen & Bill Maher, you both have my respect. From a fearless lady from Texas. 🤗❤️🫶
My 2 favorite people! You’re knocking it out of the park Stephen A.
lmao you're fav 2 people are two out of touch rich guys?
@@Ainttrippin I'm not rich and I can relate. Plus I don't think they came from riches. They earned where they're at.
You cray 😂
@@Annapurna818 so according to you, my favorite people should be poor? I should only take advice of somebody who isn’t well off?
I was a big Bill Maher fan10 years ago, not sure what to think now? Can't get those red shoe pics. out of my mind.
Maybe if Elon would stop his constant Ketamine use I would be more amenable to listening to him.
Great interview. Great host, great guest, great questions, straight forward answers.
I'm a life long, working class Democrat. And always will be. And I thought this interview and Maher's answers were perfectly reasonable.
I'm sorry to hear that
@BeginSanity Don't be. Nothing to be sorry about.
At least I would never vote for Kamala 😂😂😂
I like these two gentlemen. They are so realistic.
Elon Musk is the modern day Edison,Bell ,Tesla ,Devinci.Take your pick.I think its great he has the ear of our top leader.
Good work, guys.
I lean right of center but not enough to capsize the row boat. So i find some of Steven A Smith and Bill Maher points of view spot on or close enough to agree with them on stuff.
Don't agree with Bill hardly ever but I'm glad Trump's America is giving him a platform to perform. Even though I don't see eye to eye with Bill I enjoy his takes on different topics!
I bet you will now 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@nzuix Tons a good content coming down the pipe line! 🤣
I don’t see eye to eye with him. I don’t see completely eye to eye with Trump either. We should all be able to have a voice as well as disagreements and at the end of the day, be Americans together. Well said dude
@@LA-84-FM so anybody see eye to eye with everybody all the time really? what we need to be able to do is see the points other people have and not just blindly love one side and vilify the other
@@PopePlatinumBeats no I agree. That’s the point I was trying to make. Sorry if I didn’t articulate it well man. We gotta start listening to each other more!
Only having two sides Left or Right Democrat or Republican limits ideas and solutions. That's the biggest issue in America
Musk has too much money what a stupid comment! Why don’t you decide how much is too much Bill
What's wild is he said that AFTER pointing out that Elon created 4 of the most recent important technological companies!!
By saying that, he meant that he doesn't care about money, so he might actually do a good job. There's no threat based on him trying to capitalize on entering the government, as some politicians in Europe do.
Super enjoyable show gentlemen
You can be an elite without being elitist.
There are no elite people in this world . Especially in the government, because okay, maybe you can call yourself kind of elite, if you've worked hard to get where you are and you have a lot of money.But when you've just stolen the money, there's nothing elite about that, that's called a crook
Ricardo Authenticity Rating for this episode of the Stephen A Smith show is 9 out of 10 stars. Professionally done and great content.
With the big CA fire where is the high Adam Schiff ? CA democrats voted for him can’t he help out the Mayor & Governor who we tried to impeach but Hollywood saved him!!! I hope he can help LA now that they are burned
I think you are on the right track when you offend everyone, on the left and right! We have to be willing to take criticism and be honest work ourselves. Thanks Bill Maher
Did you see that Eye???? It speaks "STROKE".
I’ve been a fan of Maher for 30+ years, but it’s easy for him to downplay the risk Musk poses with trump in the WH when he isn’t poor, working poor, or middle-class, so he isn’t going to lose his Medicaid, SSD, SNAP, public schools, school lunches, or Medicare….so he’s really looking from a lofty safe space of wealth and privilege
Every time I hear someone on the left start to make sense, they say something ridiculous. Like saying Harris was any kind of decent for our country. She was a moron
No, the current 34 count convicted felon, president elect, if you want to call him that, is the damn moron and anyone that voted for him and I'm a republican but I was smart enough not to drink the Jim Jones koolaid.
I used to think Bill was a smart guy, but I was a child. Then I grew up, learned history, and realised liberals are idiots.
Ste and Bill are always gonna get my attention fast. Much
What Bill (almost) gets is Trumps unpredictability is what makes him great
That’s not great it makes the world unstable. It’s only good for the people that need drama to be entertained. There is a reason why trump lost the election after his first presidency.
You can yell fire in a crowded theater as long as there is a fire. You only cannot yell fire if there is no fire.
One thing y'all can be assured, no member of Trump's team is there for some personal benefit.
yeah keep thinking that buddy
u thing all right wing ppl care abt u?
@@HamzaAhmed-tu7qw I don't need someone to care about me. I need someone to leave me and my business alone, not to plant the obstacles all around.
Nah that’s a lie trumps team is all billionaires read a book
Are you kidding me?
Love these conversations.
What makes you think voting for Kamala Harris would be a step forward? That's the problem with you liberals, no wonder you lost badly.
Because we agree with her politics, duh. Trump doesn’t have a plan for healthcare, housing or anything else. He duped people into believing immigration and tariffs will make life more affordable. Stupid stupid country.
The first time I see 2 clocks together that get the time right 2wice a day...😂
7 minutes: "I'm not socialist...." Goes right to the socialist ideology...
Being worth something and having it are two totally different things.
You and Bill have been very wrong in the past. Do you ever consider that you might still be wrong about some things?
I prefer balance ⚖️. Thanks to both of you.
As a poor person it seems crazy to me that you can say a person who’s had a trillion great genius ideas and made billions off those ideas has “too much money” and should be limited. Those same people are saying we should leave hunter Biden alone
Bill Maher: hero to the right now.
Don’t worry about losing fans Bill. NOBODY will ever be as big a fan of Bill Maher than Bill Maher!
Excellent interview.
Maher thinks he's the smartest guy in any room he's in. He's not. I don't get his appeal.
He is definately one of the most reasonable voices in the room, and willing to say what needs to be said. That is something, and very few do it as well as he does. Hes been right about a lot of things too
So who is the smartest guy in the room, whos voice is more true or speaks more to the realities than he dose?
He’s great for cocky liberals lmao
Same as trump
Bill Maher is not afraid to speak on topics and issues others don't dare to touch on. That's important. Worthwhile conversations.
Epic content my man! :D
I love listening to bill about pretty much everything. But when it comes to Trump, He is one of the worst cases of TDS i have seen.
Name one thing he said that was incorrect
It’s not deranged to be concerned about a crazy narcissist who tried to end democracy being in the highest office.
