It's funny she mentioned Bob Dole in connection with kind. I just saw Sam Bee bring up how he would tell racists where the exits were, concerning republicans. Never thought I'd miss that guy either.
It's so beautiful to see someone like Barbra who's done it all and has been successful with it all and has nothing to prove and is just a gracious beautiful humble woman doing whatever she can to make the world a better place! Barbra's so cool.
Barbra Streisand has been my #1 in music since the first time I heard her sing so so many years ago. She is beautiful as a performer and as a human being.
That was one of the best interviews with Streisand that I've ever seen. It was devoid of the usually questions usually asked of her. We witnessed an interesting conversation. Awesome job Bill!
Thanks for that observation with which I totally agree. It got so tiresome watching Barbra getting asked about her nose, being controlling, etc. Here she was allowed to exhibit her intelligence, commitment to human rights, character, and convictions.
I lived in Saudi Arabia for about a year in the mid 1980's. I used to pop in a tape of Barbra and cruise the desert on a few of those lonely nights. Thanks for the memories of that pirated tape that kept me entertained. Remind me to send you your royalties since the piraters' most certainly did not pay them.
That moment where she says, "I don't remember the good stuff as much as the bad, all the articles..". It's amazing to me that such an iconic national treasure still feels that sting from the negative people, just like the rest of us. We never stop being completely human, do we? This was really interesting to watch, two of my favorite voices together!
Richard Darlington Trust me... Barbra isn't hurting at all. She even admitted it in this interview when she "joked" that only rich people cann afford to see her live.
So sad. Shes so successful...I mean that's an understatement. But shes a self proclaimed perfectionist. So the critics are like neon marquis in her brain. Seems like a little therapy would help her w that. #barbra4eva
@@justinm2697 What you don't understand is her background. She grew up in rather poor family in Brooklyn. It's not so easy to remove the past from your brain. That's why I believe her. She has always been rather insecure, didn't perform for many years because of her stage fright and so on. Don't judge so easily.
I understand I have never been a legitimate fan of Barbra, but she has always been one of my favorite people. So many people see her as otherworldly. I see a genuine person there who has moments of awkwardness as we all do. Can’t superstars be among us as if they are our neighbors? I would love to just have a friendly cup of tea with her. Her husband can come too. No pressure. I genuinely love her.
I love your comment. People forget she is just a person - incredibly talented and ambitious - but a person - with lots of insecurities and - as you said "moments of awkwardness". Love her too.
Mike she doesn't look or sound bitter nor paranoid to me is that your deduction just because she cares about people let me suggest to you right here on you tube there's a karaoke carpool with james corden and see for your self the woman can still have fun not bad for a 76 year old (no bitterness and no paranoia)
Barbra Streisand is a total hero. She saved Dan Ellsberg’s ass by putting together a concert to raise money for his defense! Dan Ellsberg himself pointed this out, and how grateful he was to her, while on Democracy Now! Pretty Wonderful! Bravo🌹
@@vincentlee3605 It is called awareness, dumb fuck! It also included getting people involved. I see you are another Russian troll! No channel content is a a complete give away!

@E W First, abortions don't matter at all. Abortions are carried out by people of all political spectrums. It is a health and life-style/well-being choice, not a political one. Some women can't physically have children because they will die, some are rape victims, victims of incest, and others can't afford a baby and the mental or financial tole that having a child would impart. That's why I don't understand those pro-life idiots because they aren't thinking of the situation in which the child was conceived or the mother, nor are they thinking of the life the child will grow up in. Do you honestly think that it's better that a child grow up in a home where their parents can't afford to take care of them properly and didn't want them in the first place? Or in an adoption home where they may never get picked and in the back of their minds always wondering "why didn't my real parents love me enough to keep me? Why didn't they want me?" You're a complete piece of shit if you say anything but no. Second, socialism hasn't killed anybody, in fact, every country in the world has socialist practices. In the US, we have Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security, all of which are socialist services. Other countries have free colleges and free healthcare paid by tax money, we're one of the only countries that don't have it and we suffer immensely for it, with much higher health care costs and an overall worse population health. We also have people that are in mountains of debt that will take them most of their lives to pay back. It isn't right. I'd gladly pay slightly higher taxes for those services. You're being deceived by whatever state-run nonsense you've been watching. Try to see things from a different perspective and look at things with an open your mind. Also, look for new sources of information because everything you said was factually wrong.
Down to earth? She dictates what angle she is shot from. Note the change in chairs. Check out Ellen show too. Made Ellen sit in opposite chair and she took Ellen's chair.
Ashley Lavergne .. seeing Barbara talk from the heart makes me see the bigger picture. Consider this republican blue this mid term. Time to take our country back
@@justinm2697 I mean. A lot of people stress eat. It's pretty common actually so I'm not surprised that some people are eating more than usual and don't understand why. And Trump stresses a lot of people.
Eating has never been my issue. Trump just makes me want to have a cold beer. I have learned to control myself as I don't want to damage my liver because of the evil orange man.
Elegant? and lovely? No. She's a very bitter person who can't tolerate an opposing view. If she's so shaken up about the so called mistreatment of illegal aliens, why doesn't she open her huge estate and take care of them. It would ease the burden on the taxpayers!!
Colleen Powell, you adorable little trumpista you - so clever too! Where EVER did you learn critical thinking skills like that: the "opposing view" you speak of, SUPPORTing Separating Families and the lifelong trauma that comes with that is no "viewpoint." It is an immoral outrage, and you know it but apparently do not care - but keep sleeping well at night knowing you are enabling lifelong misery and heartache for children who will never see their parents again.
A point in the Michael Moore movie: NBC stopped paying Trump to make a TV show, but they found they could get the same audience for free covering his whatever events.
She's a good example of how fake all you leftists are. She's so concerned about children being separated from their families except, of course, when Obama and the Clintons were doing it. She's a far left liberal, so politics always comes before decency, humanity, and caring for others. Not one of you fake liberals ever once cared about the children when Obama was throwing them in cages. You only pretended to care after President Trump took over, and then used photos that were taken when Obama was in the White House for the sole purpose of getting rid of President Trump. President Trump is in her head all of the time because she's a very hateful individual who's also extremely narcissistic. Conservatives don't behave like this because we're not mentally unstable, unlike YOU. Nearly all leftists are sick individuals.
@ 2:06 Barbara says "Whatever happened to just being kind?". I'm pondering the same.... When I'm kind I get treated like there's something wrong w/me; some ppl make you feel stupid for being so kind; I can't be something I'm not. It's was the way of the 'community' you lived in back in the '50's....
All people has certain kindness, but somehow other people who experience bad things they forgot to be kind, cause they want to get even. Just saying! I always treat people with kindness but they find it impossible and a negative action. So happy that Barbra is an example of a person who is kind and believe being true is everything.
She is so kind that she asked the mayor of Malibu to make her area a homeless free zone. She likes to think she is kind but keep that out of her backyard. She is so out of touch and a hypocrite. She doesn’t even want homeless Americans in her backyard never mind immigrants, she just spews nonsense.
I had the great fortune to meet this lovely lady by chance in NYC in 1993, I was so star struck I couldn’t speak, she was with her son Jason, being shown around our hotel which years before had been an AIDS hospice a cause very near to her heart. A moment in time I’ll cherish forever❤️
@@Mike-fp5rc I didn't mean as an insult. I read the result of the study as if that brain region is more or less developed by genes and environment, it's an evolution out of our control, so Republicans can't be blamed for being afraid and Democrats lauded for being less so. I think fear is actually a burden, so in a way Republicans suffer from fear.
Barabra's story about her mother unexpectedly landed with me. I was raised by a single mother for most of my childhood, and lied to constantly. Even as an adult there's so many chapter of my childhood, where I still don't know what was going on. Those experiences has very much informed who I want to be.
You know what brings empathy and expands a person's perspective on the world? Travel. I have found that the more you engage with people, not necessarily in foreign countries, but even within your own borders, that to experience life living among people who are different from you, you can learn and understand far greater than just by watching something on TV, or seeing it in photos. My perspective was forever changed when I traveled, changing my outlook on wealth and poverty, necessities and wants, the extraneous and the essential, and the core values of those who you got to meet and learn from. The people who I find are the most close-minded are those who have never had those experiences for themselves. They stay close to home, they find their niche and strengthen bonds within their own corner of the community, and while it's great to have such bonds, it's too narrow in scope, and it blocks them from truly gaining empathy for other people. Especially if their only encounters with various groups and ethnicities are negative experiences. I always urge people to take advantage of traveling more. And not just to go to some resort with sand and beaches, or to stay holed up in a hotel in a city where you speak the language. Go to the open air markets, use their public transportation, visit more parklands, get off the beaten track and find some real hidden gems where the tourists don't go, and I promise you, if you show the slightest inclination to be friendly with them, the locals won't turn you away. It has opened my eyes to how other people live, and discovered how much more you have in common than what drives us apart. You can even go to the next city over, or across the border to the next state and come across people you never knew existed. This direct interaction can be incredibly instructive, and it's something that all people should try to do more than once in their lives. Get out there, and see what's really going on. Open yourself up to new people, ditch some of your habits and routines from home, and really embrace the culture of the place you're in, instead of trying to make it conform to what you're accustomed to. You really will gain a whole new appreciation for what you have, and maybe even desire for changes you saw when you were away.
No one likes getting older and getting wrinkles and I surely understand that it’s a good thing if you have some things that can be done to help you look good - but DAMN: this is worse than wrinkles. If you don’t look like yourself anymore and have so much less mimic left normal ageing is much better.
Barbra "The Great" Streisand I love you Barbra you helped me get through my abusive childhood.... Unfortunately we have similar childhoods....... My mother died when I was 6 years old and I was left to a very selfish man "my father"..... He also got married without telling me when I was 7 years old.... The person he married was a vicious woman who only cared about herself..... Thank God for your God given talent you touched my heart.......... You look fantastic I wish you love health and happiness All the best!
Interesting comments on this interview. A lot of praise, but also a lot of hateful comments. Barbra seems to polarize people, but I don't see why. She comes across as genuine, thoughtful, and appropriately worried about the country. However you react to her personally, her success in music is unmatched. I believe she has about 32 platinum albums. The next successful female singer has about 19. Tough to argue with the specialness of her voice.
Hilarious that Bill talks about empathy and then earlier in the same episode brushes aside the suffering of the Palestinian people and justifies ANY bad actions by the Israelis. Hypocrisy.
What Barbara says about Barbara and George Bush is very true, because people do respect them because they served their country. Public service is not something that is held in high regard in this popularity contest Americans call the presidency. Your system for electing a president is a presidency pageant and now you have finally elected one who doesn’t serve his country. He serves himself. Fix the system, then you can fix the symptoms.
The google says she is 76. There is vanity in all of us, especially when we become older than we feel. But at some point, the well adjusted mind must come to terms with reality. This is bizarre.
Bill Maher you said what I always tell people. We never used to talk about politics you didn't know who the hell was a republican or who was a dem..IT DIDN'T MATTER. But now politics has invaded every pore of our society. It's killing it like a plague.
Sad when America stops caring. I can't sleep at night either Barbara. Kindness is strength. The will of strength THRU TRUTH is AWESOME. bRING BACK GENTLENESS AND KINDNESS & working FOR PEOPLE. Agreeing to disagree is a good thing. Narcissism is a bad thing. We need clean water, we need protection from deregulation poisoning all water. Can we just have a president who is not so against all people and only for corporations and himself?
Was truly fun to watch Bill navigate through this interview. He really did seem start struck. But I have a hard time believing he has all her CD's! The diehard Eddie Vedder fan.....regardless, he treated her with respect and adulation.
I have no trouble believing it! I have a vast admiration of a spectrum music...from Vivaldi to Def Leppard, from Josh groban to Billie Eillish, John Prine to Michael Franti. Some of us can’t be pigeonholed. Music is also a connection to a time, a person, a feeling. So, maybe his personal story has a deep connection to Barbra, through one of those.
I don't attend or watch any of his rallies. I hit skip ads whenever the political promotions start. I don't listen to fox news. I skim headlines. The media reports the trump news. That's journalism. I choose to emotionally detach when I can and turn on my critical self. What happened at the border made me cry. He has no heart. I don't care about anyone's IQ if they don't have a heart. Nor would I ever vote for him. If he was a neighbor, I'd have some pity on him and maybe take him a plate of brownies to cheer him up. But President of this country when too much is never enough? He'll trip over his inflated ego someday. If he is his money and its power and loses his money then who is he? Who would this man be?
Thank you Bill for this show. Hello to you and B S. I have been to few movies. However, I did go see one of hers. I really love you Barbara S. #1 Fan. I also love Bert B. You LOOK terrific today. Thanks for coming to Bill's show. I do watch TCM. Although, movies used to be great. Love to you and yours. And you too B M.
He basically told us to shut off his show, because the media making people mad all-day is part of the problem. But he also gave us the reason. $$$CASH CASH MONEY MONEY, YO!$$$
I love Barbra - I really do, and I tend to agree with much of her politics. But as obnoxious as Trump was and is, in terms of actual policy, Dubya was FAR more destructive than silly, narcissistic, unfocused Trump... Sure, Trump lies all the time, but at least most of us see him coming... It's all the other liars in Washington, from both parties, who are really the bigger problem (most especially we Democrats who pretend to care for the working-class) when everyone's bought and paid for by the billionaire oligarch corporate donors... Which is why we're in such trouble, and society is melting down.
Now who doesn't love Barbara!!! Beautiful voice and beautiful Lady. 😍😍😍💚💛💜
I can't believe this is still going on 5 years later. Barbra we need you for 2024

So, I have something in common with Barbara, I too love coffee ice cream!😂
Barbra
No A between Bar and bra.
She has a very youthful appearance here.
I know Bill had a Catholic upbringing, but parts of this interview feel like two old Jews kvetching over their nudnik shpilkes.
Well maybe he hangs out with Jews often.
Funnymy neighbor used to use nudnik...I like it!
Yishai Stonemonger He’s Part Jewish.
He is constantly mistaken for being Jewish, so you're not alone
Bill's mother was Jewish, and according to their tradition, if the mother is Jewish then the children are Jewish.
Love this interview.
Barabra's story about her mother unexpectedly landed with me. I was raised by a single mother for most of my childhood, and lied to constantly. Even as an adult there's so many chapter of my childhood, where I still don't know what was going on. Those experiences has very much informed who I want to be.
Simply the BEST 👌 Tina Turner
You know what brings empathy and expands a person's perspective on the world? Travel.
I have found that the more you engage with people, not necessarily in foreign countries, but even within your own borders, that to experience life living among people who are different from you, you can learn and understand far greater than just by watching something on TV, or seeing it in photos.
My perspective was forever changed when I traveled, changing my outlook on wealth and poverty, necessities and wants, the extraneous and the essential, and the core values of those who you got to meet and learn from.
The people who I find are the most close-minded are those who have never had those experiences for themselves. They stay close to home, they find their niche and strengthen bonds within their own corner of the community, and while it's great to have such bonds, it's too narrow in scope, and it blocks them from truly gaining empathy for other people. Especially if their only encounters with various groups and ethnicities are negative experiences.
I always urge people to take advantage of traveling more. And not just to go to some resort with sand and beaches, or to stay holed up in a hotel in a city where you speak the language. Go to the open air markets, use their public transportation, visit more parklands, get off the beaten track and find some real hidden gems where the tourists don't go, and I promise you, if you show the slightest inclination to be friendly with them, the locals won't turn you away. It has opened my eyes to how other people live, and discovered how much more you have in common than what drives us apart. You can even go to the next city over, or across the border to the next state and come across people you never knew existed. This direct interaction can be incredibly instructive, and it's something that all people should try to do more than once in their lives. Get out there, and see what's really going on. Open yourself up to new people, ditch some of your habits and routines from home, and really embrace the culture of the place you're in, instead of trying to make it conform to what you're accustomed to. You really will gain a whole new appreciation for what you have, and maybe even desire for changes you saw when you were away.
No one likes getting older and getting wrinkles and I surely understand that it’s a good thing if you have some things that can be done to help you look good - but DAMN: this is worse than wrinkles.
If you don’t look like yourself anymore and have so much less mimic left normal ageing is much better.
So beautiful to hear such profound wisdom from Barbra Streisand. Am I the only one seeing so much love on Bill's face as he gazes at Barbra?
Today April 24th,2022... 🎂 Happy 80th Barbra! ☆🎤🎬🎉🌹🎁☆
Barbra "The Great" Streisand I love you Barbra you helped me get through my abusive childhood.... Unfortunately we have similar childhoods....... My mother died when I was 6 years old and I was left to a very selfish man "my father"..... He also got married without telling me when I was 7 years old.... The person he married was a vicious woman who only cared about herself..... Thank God for your God given talent you touched my heart.......... You look fantastic I wish you love health and happiness All the best!
Interesting comments on this interview. A lot of praise, but also a lot of hateful comments. Barbra seems to polarize people, but I don't see why. She comes across as genuine, thoughtful, and appropriately worried about the country. However you react to her personally, her success in music is unmatched. I believe she has about 32 platinum albums. The next successful female singer has about 19. Tough to argue with the specialness of her voice.
I’m just now thinking of Bill at home,
high as balls,
singing Evergreen...
RIGHT? I know, the thought crossed my mind too!!
Hilarious...;^)
Hilarious that Bill talks about empathy and then earlier in the same episode brushes aside the suffering of the Palestinian people and justifies ANY bad actions by the Israelis. Hypocrisy.
She has such a calming voice.
Listening to her book during my commute has been helping me through a tough time… I guess that voice is part of it.
What Barbara says about Barbara and George Bush is very true, because people do respect them because they served their country. Public service is not something that is held in high regard in this popularity contest Americans call the presidency. Your system for electing a president is a presidency pageant and now you have finally elected one who doesn’t serve his country. He serves himself. Fix the system, then you can fix the symptoms.
When did Babs start looking like a cat?
I was about to suggest that she's starting to look like that cat lady. Weinstein-something I think she was.
1993
Have you assholes attacking her looked in the mirror ?
1965
The google says she is 76. There is vanity in all of us, especially when we become older than we feel. But at some point, the well adjusted mind must come to terms with reality. This is bizarre.
Bill Maher you said what I always tell people. We never used to talk about politics you didn't know who the hell was a republican or who was a dem..IT DIDN'T MATTER. But now politics has invaded every pore of our society. It's killing it like a plague.
I love this woman. I couldn't think of a cooler pair of people in the world today. Amazing.
Sad when America stops caring. I can't sleep at night either Barbara. Kindness is strength. The will of strength THRU TRUTH is AWESOME. bRING BACK GENTLENESS AND KINDNESS & working FOR PEOPLE. Agreeing to disagree is a good thing. Narcissism is a bad thing. We need clean water, we need protection from deregulation poisoning all water. Can we just have a president who is not so against all people and only for corporations and himself?
Great questions and honest observations. One of the best segments I've seen lately on what we are experiencing as a dissonance in our American values.
Not many older women can pull off long hair. A shorter hairstyle would be more flattering at her age.
You can see Bill Maher’s genuine respect and admiration for her here and it’s amazing
Was truly fun to watch Bill navigate through this interview. He really did seem start struck. But I have a hard time believing he has all her CD's! The diehard Eddie Vedder fan.....regardless, he treated her with respect and adulation.
I have no trouble believing it!
I have a vast admiration of a spectrum music...from Vivaldi to Def Leppard, from Josh groban to Billie Eillish, John Prine to Michael Franti. Some of us can’t be pigeonholed.
Music is also a connection to a time, a person, a feeling. So, maybe his personal story has a deep connection to Barbra, through one of those.
By the way, her latest album is great. It’s gorgeous material and Barbra sounds fabulous. I see her getting a Grammy.
She should lay off the face fillers & botox!!!!
My Queen!
I don't attend or watch any of his rallies. I hit skip ads whenever the political promotions start. I don't listen to fox news. I skim headlines. The media reports the trump news. That's journalism. I choose to emotionally detach when I can and turn on my critical self. What happened at the border made me cry. He has no heart. I don't care about anyone's IQ if they don't have a heart. Nor would I ever vote for him. If he was a neighbor, I'd have some pity on him and maybe take him a plate of brownies to cheer him up. But President of this country when too much is never enough? He'll trip over his inflated ego someday. If he is his money and its power and loses his money then who is he? Who would this man be?
Thank you Barbara. Not just a great singer but a great human. Love you. ❤️👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I listen to Barbara every day ........while gardening , in the bath , travelling etc etc
I am totally obsessed .I LOVE her .
She’s a beautiful person inside and out. Very talented, compassionate, and intelligent.
Don't forget KIND!!! ;)
Thank you Bill for this show. Hello to you and B S. I have been to few movies. However, I did go see one of hers. I really love you Barbara S. #1 Fan. I also love Bert B. You LOOK terrific today. Thanks for coming to Bill's show. I do watch TCM. Although, movies used to be great. Love to you and yours. And you too B M.
Barbra Streisand Looks fabulous.
She doesn´t even look human anymore
I like that she speaks her truth.
Did i hear Bill maher , of all the people , say “don’t talk about religion and politics” ?? Is he high again
Probably.... ;) but we were told “don’t talk about religion and politics” back in our day! LOL
No he is not high! He is completely here and very relevant!
YOU HEAR WRONG HE WAS TALKING BACK IN THE DAY RELIGION AND POLITICS WERE NOT OBSESSED OVER THE WAY THEY ARE TODAY.
He basically told us to shut off his show, because the media making people mad all-day is part of the problem. But he also gave us the reason. $$$CASH CASH MONEY MONEY, YO!$$$
Barbara , if you did more interviews more people would love ❤ you.
His best interview ever! I love Barbara.
I agree the media needs to stop giving him free press.
They look like siblings 😱
@hillel raz The only ugly thing here is you, pig.
@@ryanwest538 your Zionist pig essence is ugly as fuck
i was about to say the same thing
@@johnobrien1528 Wow. Another antisemite pig.
@@ryanwest538, being an anti-semite is good
Lol no ones talking about how they changed the cameras around for her
@Suicidal Vet - In this case she got the 'Big Head' effect. But she's wrong on so many things.
I am speechless! She is so smart and on another level.
As true, if not MORE true today than five years ago. History repeating itself. We are in for a BUMPIER road !!!!!!
very nice very nice indeed ~
I love Barbra - I really do, and I tend to agree with much of her politics. But as obnoxious as Trump was and is, in terms of actual policy, Dubya was FAR more destructive than silly, narcissistic, unfocused Trump... Sure, Trump lies all the time, but at least most of us see him coming... It's all the other liars in Washington, from both parties, who are really the bigger problem (most especially we Democrats who pretend to care for the working-class) when everyone's bought and paid for by the billionaire oligarch corporate donors... Which is why we're in such trouble, and society is melting down.
I was amazed how well this interview was. I was never a Streisand fan, but this was really good.
Greatest singer of the 20th centry.
One of
What an amazing woman!! 💁🏻
These rich people want the status quo to continue because they don’t want their perfectly luxurious lives to be upended.
