Whoopi Goldberg's chastisement was not a "karma-gram from the universe." The word for getting pleasure from someone else's misfortune isn't karma - it's schadenfreude.

"The right response to speech you don't like is more speech..." So well put.
Nope. Sorry. Used to buy it. Not anymore. Thats like saying the right response to guns is more guns. It assumes people know who to shoot and who to believe. This marketplace of ideas bullshit was fine until i stopped and realized that we regulate actual marketplaces and i probably wouldnt buy beef at a maketplace that wasnt regulated.
Chinggas khan once said to his father "if they're offended, let them be."
Yes, this is true if it goes both ways and not just for the people you support
@@blaisemacpherson7637 what? You want to be told what to think by regulations controlled by corrupt (or corruptable ) political forces? When politics and governments in history were given th power to regulate and police the population’s speech, they usually started arresting and murdering them whenever they wanted. No thank you to your need to be protected like a child for having your feelings or opinions hurt. The answer to lack of love CAN BE more love. Lack of air should be more air. The virtue of a good thing can be the context on whether more of it is good.
Actually Blaise, more speech is exactly the kind of regulation you are talking about. Allowing people to be wrong, and talking about it without treating them like they are scum promotes understanding and reduces rigidness. It's not a quick fix, and you won't see results right away, but it does make a change.
Who would you be more inclined to listen to and maybe change your behaviour? The teacher that throws you out of class and calls you a donkey when you are wrong, or the one that takes the time to listen, treats you with trust and respect and explains why you are mistaken?
“People need to learn to disagree in this country and not hate for it”
Just earned a “like” from me 😁
Bill is a hypocrite that does not practice what he preaches. Just mention the name Trump and watch him
go insane.
@@mkjohnson7826 yea, true
he should speak for himself.
I couldn't agree more. Like, Like, Like. But you should have to shut up, I'm the only one that should be able to speak, Oh, wait...
Maybe Americans could stop hating China 🇨🇳.
My son died in a terrible accident 13 years ago. A friend asked me if I could think of anything that I might have done in my life that may have resulted in this karma. I was beyond stunned. Today he is suffering from a debilitating illness. I can only say that I am sorry and offer my honest love and support. This idea of karma is BEYOND fucked up😣
I'm so sorry about your son. I hope you are able to continue to heal as much as you can. You have a huge heart of gold.❤
So sorry for your loss.
Karma is real but not in the sense you presently understand it.
@@conradbulos6164lol okay dumbass 😂
So is your “friend”. I’m sorry for your loss.
"People have to learn to disagree in America and not hate for it." 🙏
I would never have believed a few years ago that I would be a regular listener to Bill Maher now. He has become such a breath of fresh air in this toxic world!
That's the truth! We need more Bill Maher spokespeople.
That is because normal Democrats/Liberals from Kennedy's time period have devolved into beings so far left they live in a different dimension. Bill is trying to be more centered (Zen analogy!). I will say though, I pray he changes his belief on the existence of God before it is too late. Once you die, you can't change your belief any longer.
Exactly. I feel the same way. Russell Brand is another that I listen to regularly that I never thought I would.
I feel the same way
He is a very intelliget man
As a Conservative, who often disagrees with his views, I respect his honesty and non-BS approach. I 100% agree with Bill, we need to get back to an honest debate, not name calling.
NAZIS use Name Calling
to Purport their False allegations !
You;d have to find an honest conservative first. Not easy.
@@MichaelBrown-wg9et well, at least there are more of them then Honest Dems.
@@ProudDadVet Wow. That didn't take you long before you jumped right back in to the mud pit. A smart response to their comment would be, "Exhibit A", but you took the bait. I'm sure many can agree there are few honest politicians and most have us dancing around like puppets, which keeps the focus off of them and their greed for power and money, not to mention their bullsh!t failed leadership.
Buddy we all do. The thing about bill is he calls BS when he hears it like you said. He’s an old blue dog democrat like manchin of WV.
Dude took the high road instead of making fun. He taught everyone a lesson. I loved the "disagree without hate" the country needs that right now on both sides 🤷🏻♂️
Reminded me of Joe Rogan's response to Neil Young.
@@craigphillips6308 “You get the body of a black man and you get the mind of a white man.”
- Joe Rogan “complementing” a biracial man.
“We walked *in* to planet of the apes. We walked into Africa. There was no white people.”
- Joe Rogan on watching Planet of the Apes in an African-American majority neighborhood.
“N-“
- Joe Rogan more times than I would ever. And I’m African American!
It's crazy because disagreeing with someone has become synonymous with hate. Simply not understanding someone has become synonymous with hate. Hell, even minding your own business has become synonymous with "violence". It'll be impossible to "disagree without hate" when you're painted as hateful for just disagreeing.
Conservatives have been doing that the whole time . Thanks for joining
I think he did that the last time they took issue with him or what he said - I think it was about James Corden and his weight. And then James Corden hit back about it, but then guess what?! James Corden is now the spokesman for Weight Watchers?! Sorry but I don't feel a lot of what Bill Maher says is anti-people as much as anyone wants to believe. I think he cares more than people tear him down for.
Thank you Bill Maher!! Stand up for FREEDOM
Bill, after all those years of listening to you, I want to thank you for opening my views on issues, thank you for having different opinions than me, thank you for expressing your opinions with sincerity and humor, thank you for making me change my opinions from time to time, thank you for making me disagree with you from time to time, just thank you for never sugar coating your thoughts. You and your team keep up the good work you have been giving us all those years
I just wish he wasn't so cynical about Americans... I don't understand the belittlement
@@Shaymuhs I think cynicism brings a humorous note that can avoid pure criticism. And If you ask that question, then you must be american. Am I right?
@@Shaymuhs it's his thing. He's a comedian and cynicism towards Americans has been his schtick for like 30 plus years.
@@Shaymuhs If the shoe fits .... own it🤓
@@Shaymuhs It’s because everybody in this country is constantly belittling each other.
One of the best new rules I've seen in a while. I often disagree with Bill's views, but his commitment to liberal democracy through dialogue without hate is definitely something I share and value.
Agreed. Bill has been annoying me for a while now but this segment was eye-opening for me. I did not know the proper definition of karma and thought it was a negative not the positive thing it is.
Hi Bill M you do not know me but I love your mind and way of expressing your views I think we need a president like you I would vote for I think karma is real though if you do bad you create bad energy and get what you deserve if something happens
Totally agree, I just wish he would practice what he preaches. His potty mouth diatribes against right wingers are stinging and funny but just fan the flames of exactly the hate and resentment he claims to want to squelch. Lead by example Bill and tone it down.
There is nothing in the way of any proven validity taken from the results of scientific studies which were scrutinizing the claims of karma; there is simply no falsifiable evidence whatsoever to support this particular, all too conveniently simplistic answer of "wrongs" being balanced out with reactively initiated supernatural force that is known as {karma}...
For, the simple truth is that karma is nothing more than yet another superstition based fallacious theory on how morality will ultimately be balanced out in the end by some cosmic/universal scaled ultimately powerful deity/entity... this belief/faith in: "Evil shall reap what it has sown; and the meek shall inherit the Earth."... And man, I gotta say it; there just simply ain't no inherent & unavoidably accrued balancing reactions of imminent & inevitable punishment that is going to come due to anyone's selfish behavioral traits, or even their outright depraved support of certain regional terrorist
@@BruceGoren dude, that’s his job, he goes on diatribes about everything and everyone.
Bill you are spot on, as usual. I'm 82 and live in my van on social security. You are entertaining and educational. I'm you in my time. Good job.😊
Sending you a long distance hug from Norway! ❤
Except that what he said about janitors is inexcusable. I hope someone sprays Windex in his eye!
Stay safe. ✌
@@michaelanderson2881 that was bound to irritate someone
@@michaelanderson2881 That would be.......Karma! lol
Learn to disagree but not hate. Beautiful!
😂😂😂
I enjoyed that, right to the point and smack. LOL
Bill Maher is someone I agree with half the time... and I think he is great and I listen to what he says even when I don't agree at all.... the last few years showed me how easily people were pushed to not hear others.. very sad. Lost a few friends simply for wanting to rather figure out the truth instead of being fanatical about a side..
"people have to learn to disagree and not hate for it"
This statement is spot on, but sad how it even has to be said.
How to 'just disagree' with a Nazi?
How sad the left started trying to cancel everyone they disagree with! Now the snowball is getting huge and they cannot handle it! LMFAO That's what you get, a-holes!
@@catnapper7509 Cancelling crap is not 'a left only thing'. "The right" cancel books they don't like and republicans that don' support Trump. If there's anything that unites the US is that everybody 'cancels' things they disagree with.
@@Kriskke the trick for many is being intelligent enough to do so.
Good Message Bill.
Bill, I am a longtime Millennial fan who has watched you since the old days (before I was even old enough). I have always admired your moxie. Lately I have been disagreeing with you a lot but this makes me remember why I love you. We don’t always have to agree, but we must always protect the 1st Amendment. ❤️ Loved this piece.
If you noticed he changes his ideology as the wind blows. Total chameleon
A strong voice of reason during a critical time :) This mindset is what needs to prevail!
Don’t like how he’s always knocking our country
@@theresebelisle7782
Just the truth.
Everybody knows about karma but I guess if Bill M says there’s no such thing as karma who are we to argue with him. After all, he is on Television.
@@kayvan671 Not the truth HIS truth. He described superstition with the green socks story. I can’t believe the audience believes anything he says.
@@kayvan671 People figure somebody as smug as Bill must be right in all that he spews. Nobody would want to be on the receiving end of his smugness so they applaud like sheep.
I've been watching Bill Maher for over a decade but have never respected him more. His commitment to free speech and his courage in standing by his convictions is both inspirational and humbling.
Like i said about this segment.. i couldn't have said that better.
Almost like a conservative
Inspirational and humbling?
Mother of fu**ing god.
Karma is misunderstood in the west. It literally just means your own doing. It has nothing to do with a higher power.
The Christians know exactly what KARMA is.
Including Christians in the WEST
The same letters for KARMA also can be used to spell A MARK
A MARK 666
5:03 “people have to learn to disagree in this country, and not hate for it.” *roaring applause*
Now imagine if half of that audience actually practiced that…
Im sure they all do. Its anti Bill people who dont. You dont go to a Bill show because you disagree on free speech.
It's hard when the whole country is continually grouped in this bi-partisan way losing the ability to think for yourself. Also, I think we are seeing extremist ideologies being given a platform and there is no compromising with extremists. Yeah, Bill's audience most likely loves him.
@@EXPLISITemcee Bill's audience is just a group of trained chimps who clap at anything blue and boo anything red.
@@EXPLISITemcee - 🤣🤣🤣
YGTBSM!!! We’re you in a coma for the previous four years? I’m not a Trump supporter, but as Lord Kittens McRavish pointed out: while Bill may get it, much of his audience are akin to trained seals, barking on command whenever MSNBC or TYT tell them to.
His audience isn’t the brightest
Lesson to be learned here: Freedom of Speech is a value that must be maintained over the generations and never taken for granted. 🇺🇲
Ironic coming from a lefty
Facts
Biden recently said that rights are not absolute.
@@steveniverson9006 *Neither is his job title. Always remember: "We The People..." They serve us! Take comfort in his polling numbers - they're low. Americans aren't as gullible as the media portrays.
"You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can not fool all of the people all of the time."
Staunch Conservative but Bill Maher made me tear up when he said "People need to learn to disagree and not hate for it". Agree 100%
u voted to end gay rights.. u vote on a platform of hate. i expect nothin more from a trumper. ur going to vote for trump, because ur a mad hillbilly racist, but i have to love you? screw off. You bigots voted made it illegal for non believers to hold office. HOW dare you? for real. THE BALLS on people.. IM not going to LIE to ur face like you will me.
@@comfortsuites4465 you’re as incoherent as your views on conservatives. You don’t know all of us. You’re hilarious.
@@comfortsuites4465 name one thing Trump did in an attempt to end gay rights. 😂
@@comfortsuites4465 your delusion is your own self-destruction
Oh really? Will you allow the LGBTQIA+ community to have all the rights you enjoy? Will you allow non-Caucasian Americans to have all the rights you enjoy? Will you stop shaming women who take ownership over their bodies - and their lives?
Most importantly, will you stop degrading anyone who is not a white Protestant right-winger and making them conform to your “traditional values.”
Bill Maher you rock!!!
"The lazy, cowardly response of cancelling people," thank you Mr. Maher
That has usually been his exact response!
The left should reject the language of cancel culture as a description. Don't even admit to the characterization. It means we've been mentally colonized into accepting the right's framing of us. Because, after all, cancelling is nothing if not first of all a conservative strategy. The RNC just cancelled Cheney and Kinzinger for pete's sake. ... Long before the left cancelled anyone, there was McCarthyism. There were burnings of Beatle albums. The left has been cancelled for its whole existence.
@@dieterheinrich8377 Minus a split 2 years twice, democrats controlled the house for pretty much 58 consecutive years from the mid 30's to the late 90's, of that time 44 near consecutive years they controlled all of congress, and again of that time from the start they held the presidency for 14 consecutive years then sporadically another 20 years. Reject the rights framing of us? Who is the right? The far left considers everyone to the right of them 'the right' including old school progressives, liberals, and moderates. 1. You are confusing 'The left' with left leaning. 2. The right too often confuses 'The left' better called far left with anyone in the Democrat party yes, but make no mistake, it originated within the Democrat party. It is the liberal strategy for generations now to state it is in fact a conservative strategy. 3. A basic understanding of which party held power and when would help you as well as on its own destroy the narrative you clearly have.
It is public knowledge and written history not my opinion, Democrats since the 1930's have run this country 'almost' unimpeded. They could have fixed x,y,and z at any time in the last 3 generations but then they lose their favorite narrative and campaigning tool "If not for republicans" "you can blame republicans". McCarthyism was from 1950-54 and you think it was solely the RNC?! From 49-53 The dems controlled congress and the presidency. Nothing happened in that era without the Democrats tolerating it and allowing it. Republicans didn't take power until the final year of the McCarthyism era where it suddenly came to an end which only lasted 2 years then dems took over congress for 26 consecutive years and but held the house 40 consecutive years and even took back the presidency after Eisenhower post 61 for a full 8 year term. The ring leader Senator McCarthy only lasted from 47-57 with 90% of that decade the dems holding the power and a majority of congress, that obvious includes a considerable number of democrats, shared the belief CPUSA constituted active conspiracy.
@@joshbull623 OK. Thanks for the information and your views. I don't really have a reply except to venture that the left is widely heterogenous, and not historically represented by the Democratic Party. ... I'm just saying we should not submissively accept the framing from the right that cancelling is something endemic to the left. We have been cancelled against much more than we have cancelled. The right are the actual historical architects of cancelling, and censorship, and repression and are still flagrantly guilty of it on a daily operational basis. The RNC just cancelled Cheney and Kinzinger. If you don't believe in the Big Lie, you're cancelled by Trumpoids. They're banning books. They're cancelling history. ... We need to turn the frame around to cast them as the cancellers until cancel finally loses all rhetorical power as a left stigma. ... It's about escaping the right's framing while also reclaiming our vocabulary. It is the left that is actually pro life for its support of the living. We are the patriots, not the insurrectionists. We are the real voices of freedom and liberty, not those who suppress voting. Etc.
@@dieterheinrich8377 If your firs statement is true, the Democrat party has made it very clear and campaign vigorously for generations now that they are in fact synonymous with the left. Whether a traditionalist like Nancy Pelosi or a more radical left compared to traditionalists, such as Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, such claims would appear to be true. There certainly isn't any entertainment of such mindsets in the Republican party. So I would have to ask, what do think the left is?
Your last statements on suppressing votes, pro life, insurrection of the 6th, these are widely Democrat party stated topics and campaigning subjects. I also have yet to hear any Republican party members claim to be for them either. Very confused. You also separate the left from the Democrats, yet consistently bring up the Republican party as if the ideologies that make them up are not also heterogenous with the party as there are more than just conservatives there. Seems like a pretty clear cop out to not take responsibility for clear flaws and mistakes to me since I have seen plenty of examples of the Dems doing exactly what Reps do so it would be a advantageous strategy in discussions, arguments, and politics to say your ideals are not represented by Democrats, but grrr, those darn Republicans, no excuses for them!
Just not buying it. Actions speak louder than words and unfortunately they are louder than your words. You don't get to cherry pick.
"We took something that was supposed to be kind and hopeful and turned it into a Tarantino movie." 😂
We’re finally laughing at ourselves again. I know we’re on different political issues but I’m so glad to hear us laughing together. Thank you.
Nicely said! 👍
The reality is we are not all that different politically. We can all agree on wanting better schools for our kids, or better healthcare, childcare, affordable housing, jobs and thoughts on the climate. But the fight is how we get there, but I do not think the differences are all that great, and I wish more people could see that. It's how we feel we should get there and tackle the problems is the issue.
There is a popular meme floating around recently, if the COVID shot is free, why can't other more serious medical solutions at least be more affordable and that is something worth asking. Why should people go bankrupt to stay healthy? The money is there to help, but we don't seriously demand the help collectively, because we have this US against THEM attitude towards one another and it has to stop. Government is laughing at what they have created, because for over 20 years they have had to do nothing.
If you don't laugh at yourself, others will beat you to it🙃
I dont agree...so im going to report you and make sure you cant say what you just wrote... Joking! I agree 100%.
Hey if we can't laugh at ourselves, what can we do? No idea what your political beliefs are but, it's always nice to remember we're all on the same side. We're all Americans who just want what's best for your country.
Love Bill for always spitting truth even if it hurts some people to hear it.
Amen
We can get back from this , people will get sick of doing things this way
“People have to learn to disagree in this country and not hate for it.” Couldn’t been more prophetic.
prophetic? What's the prophecy?
If Steven crowder said this he would of been labeled alt right and the left would of demanded him punished for this statement.
What we have here is double think.
":Couldn’t been more prophetic" Doesn't make any sense in that context. 60 thumbs up lol
Says the man that was directly preaching it.
BILL Maher called us traitors for support trump. Keep that in mind before you just memory hole that..
Double think trash
Thanks Bill - this is true tolerance. We really need to accept mistakes - as we all make them. It is much more important to have free conversation and not be scared about being censured.
What we really need right now as Americans is to QUIT making mistakes
True tolerance???? Did Bill show "true tolerance" when the other guy was in power?
@@johnnystones8498 No there was a lot of stoked flames and applause. Pretty certain if Trump were ever attacked by a white blue collar bearded truck driver going on about how he never got his Capitol riot pardon, oh Bill would be celebrating Christmas anytime of the year
lol that from a guy that would kill every Muslims in the world tomorrow if he could. He's just running for office. Don't buy his BS.
Oh shoot, that probably makes republicans like him more
Bill, I appreciate your honesty lately. Even if we don't always agree, I love the healthy conversations your promoting! I bet your ratings are sky rocketing!! I'm happy for you, keep it up!
Where do you work? Im calling your boss to fire you over your opinion. (joking!)
I’ve just discovered this man, he gives me some hope that America is not inevitably sliding into barbarism, anarchy and chaos, because there is still one voice of reason and moderation.
“there is still one voice of reason”
Because the Americans are known for listening to the voice of reason!!
@@lionelspencer-ward3527
sadly, that is quite accurate.
Been sliding into barbarism for a long time. You do know the Roman concept of "barbarian" comes from the Greek bárbaros, no?
Do you live under a nice rock?
and hilarity
I REALLY wish that audiance would belt up and allow him to finish. Clap and cheer at the end, for Christ sake.
Yeah
Maher wouldn't like that
I love this! I’m so sick of hearing about karma. School them Bill.
I find the people whose lives are the biggest mess like to talk about karma.
Yep
Unfortunately, many people are not interested in the history of such terminology
I've actually seen karma play out so I can't write it off.
Best New Rule of 2022! I'm calling it now!!!
I mostly agree with this Bill, but there is one thing I disagree with. Do I think Whoopi should be cancelled for saying something dumb? In principle, no. However, if you are a proponent of cancel culture, don’t expect me to defend you when the wolves come for you. This is their standard and if they make other people live by it, then they have to live by it.
Indeed
I hear ya, but sometimes an olive branch can do a world of good
I don't think you can do anything, nor does bill care.
@@andrewhogan6533 That’s true and your might be right. However, I don’t see a lot of olive branches coming from the proponents of cancel culture.
You're not defending anyone but the freedom of speech
I like the way Bill Maher think because he is honest and tells you like it is. I like very much his style of comedy because it is so funny and so true
There is no karma, but there is poetic justice.
Who's to say who deserves punishment for their actions? You? Me? Poetic justice is a fallacy.
"poetic justice" is just schadenfreude.
You just established Bill's point.
There is no gravity but there is falling
@@markironside9818 not really cause if there was no gravity...zero of it...and you jumped upwards, you would not stop even after reaching orbit.

You're not very conservative😁 I'm just joking. You seem like a good person. Thankyou for not harassing us Democrats. Seriously. There's a lot of extreme, right wing nutjobs that say hateful, delusional, and sometimes violent stuff to us democrats in the comment section on shows with hosts that have the same views as Bill.
That's because logic doesn't subscribe to any politics.

No matter how much I might disagree with him on certain issues, I will always have respect for Bill Maher.

@@Hal_T because he doesnt joke about the people you want him to joke about? anyone and anything should be subject to ridiculization including you
Wish I could like this 100 times. Have to settle for one thumb up
So on point. This guy is giving America what it needs to hear. We definitely need more speech, not less...
Someone should clue Neil young into that.
@@craigphillips6308 I don't understand how his generation wanted more cultural openness and more free speech in society in the 60s. It makes them sound idiotic that they choose to deny free speech today.
Yea, we are in dire need of an almost 60yr old loner, stoner. Lmao.
however it has its limits - some things are facts rather than just opinion. There is that saying along the lines of: you can't reason someone out of a position they reached without reason.
More respectful speech
Bill is a treasure. I hope he gets his Roses while he's alive. I appreciate this man and his willingness to say what he thinks is right without fear of backlash from the right or left.
hbo power... like Sopranos was edgy too. You need a powerful platform..You cant act like Bill and survive outside of hbo it seems.

This comment is as annoying as the guy in the audience screaming WHOOOO

@@EXPLISITemcee I never watch his show- he's just adding his BS which is Hilliarious to many
I love you Bill!
This is why I love Maher, even though I disagree with him on at least 80% of what he says: he truly believes in, and understands the value of, freedom of expression to a stable and healthy society. Notice how he was able to maintain respect and deference to Whoopi even though it would have been so easy for him to kick her while she's down for a cheap laugh. If freedom of expression is protected no matter what, I think we will be OK. We can all learn a lot about civics from this short clip.
The New Rules segment is almost always great.
But this one is a top 10 contender. His sincerity and bluntness about all this was tempered with a sort of empathy.
As a _very_ liberal person myself...I wish ALL people could stop acting like disagreement is a personal assault on you. I live in Tennessee and kinda have to learn that conservatives are.......VERY different from me. And while that often is troubling for specific reasons I could list endlessly, it's also kinda nice to live in a world where everyone isn't a clone....of me. I don't want that.
As a nation we need to start agreeing....on that point. It's such a cliche dumb saying....but hell, it's true....we need to learn how to ENJOY agreeing to disagree. Not just tolerate it...but value it.
Lmao he only changed his tune recently. He's a lets go with the narritive guy. Thats why whoopi attacked him. He saw the boat sinking and he jumped ship. She didnt like defection. Must say what the democrats want or they will attack you. Joe rogan a good example of a political funded attack on someone who doesnt follow in line.
I'm MAGA and I love Bill 👍🏻
He had a point he wanted to make, so exercised his point in demonstration. He isn't so respectful all the time, unless it's the point he's trying to make.
It's rather narcissistic tbh. But that's the natural way about famous personalities. Especially having a show named after you. Hard not to be narcissistic.
I appreciate his unapologetic honesty. And he sort of looks like my Dad. 😆
Agree
Bill Maher quote of the century, “People have to learn to disagree in this country and not hate for it”
This is what conservatives have been saying for years now...But we didn't listen I guess.

I don't agree with a lot of Bill's political views but you have to admit he's one of the very few people who disagree with you and keep respecting you at the same time... even sympathizing with people dissing him in their hard times. Sadly, people like him are going extinct the left want him canceled and the right can't stand his legitimate criticism of republicans
I'm in the left and i don't want him cancelled. The people who do are people who don't like hearing unfiltered opinions and the ones who hate men in general.
@@fausto412 Don't mistake being a liberal, old school progressive, or moderate with being in the left, they are not the same things. The fact that you don't want him cancelled for disagreeing proved you are not on the left, that is one of the differences, people on the left want to silence at best or destroy at worst any who criticize or disagree with them.
No, I don't have to admit it, because it's utter nonsense. In fact, having watched Maher go from crappy comic doing an eternally awful George Carlin impersonation in the 80s, to a LOLbertarian during his time on ABC in the 90s, to his commiecrat turn over the past decade and a half, I know that he's nothing more than an easily pliable, self-serving sack of dog shit.
This is what keeps him "relevant", though his relevancy is non-existent beyond his leftist echo chamber. He and Rogan are nothing more than an illusory and perfunctory "alternative media", who both, in reality, merely parrot and support the politically correct/Maoist dogma prescribed to both sides of our "Less Filling, TASTES GREAT!!!" political show pony arena.
This delusional notion that civility can be present in dialogue, when one side is too pussy to protect their voter base, while the other side is too useless and mentally ill not to abuse theirs, is called "avoiding reality". Hence why we're so easily played with the same hand over and over again.
I don't give a shit about left and right, I give a shit about the hundreds of trillions of dollars in wealth that has been eroded and stolen from us over the past 15 years and the fact that your children and mine have been guaranteed a borderline 3rd world existence just a few short decades down the road, all for the sake of billionaire trust fund babies feeling like "the world is a better place", as they play three-card monte with 3rd world despots against us all.
When Maher, Rogan, Tim Pool, and all of the other controlled opposition muppets start talking about that, I will gladly admit that they are people to admire. Until then, they're just a market segmentation tactic for guppies that don't like Whoopi and Hannity anymore.
To respected local gentleman
Please give examples of crappy comic etc so perhaps I can find something that would disabuse me from labeling rampant windbaggery.
True, guys like Maher and Jon Stewart are being phased out. There are very few if any young liberals with a big platform like them
The best explanation I've ever heard. Again, right on. Really great show. And very smart.
"She's allowed to be wrong. Fuck, it's 11am." As a natural born night owl, that's a joke after my own heart.
Whoopi was wrong to omit one word from her statement; she said: The Holocaust was not about race. No...the Holocaust was not ONLY about race. Rather it was about the Nazis establish their "Master Race" and eradicating/exterminating all those they found to be inferior...which included those of Jewish descent but also Gypsies, Jehovah's Witnesses, homosexuals, blacks, the physically and mentally disabled, the Slavic people etc.
Night owls is definitely a thing but in your case it's probably plain stupidity, not disrespect
So right!
Oh yeah!
Finally a show host with the balls to speak facts
He was unfortunately late to the party.
where have you been the last 30 yrs.??
Well even Mr. Bill Mehar is not able to explain what exactly is Karma. 😂😂😂
Yes Karma is a Sanskrit word for action and deeds. It is simply a word.
Karma is used in all Indic religious philosophies not just Buddhism. It is extensively defined in Hindu scriptures.
Now, what people try to understand across the world are known as philosophies of karma. 😂😂😂
1) The striaght forward and simple philosophy: For a particular result or objective you have to take action in that direction. Inaction won't help you to achieve objective.
For example: If you want to go to destination 'A' from your place, 'B' you have to travel to destination A. If you don't move from your place or move to wrong destination C, you will not reach A. That's it.
Right Action in Right direction.
2) The second karma philosophy about reaction and consequences:
Your actions will always have reactions and consequences.
Nothing goes one way.
For example: If you do bad to people people will do bad with you when they will get chance.
Add to it if you do good with people in general but remain careless about reality then the evil people will look for opportunity to harm you.
So be good but realist and pragmatic.
3) The spritual philosophy of karma:
All your actions and deeds in this life will have affect on your next life.
This was not only to encourage people to do good deeds but to also give people some moral support that why certain unexplainable unfortunate things are happening to them.
#Lastly Regarding reincarnation: So their many cases claimed reincarnation where no scientific, skeptic and legal investigation was able to explain the cases where a kid is able to tell so much details about his past life. Note: This is when two families were completely unrelated.
Also, no economic, property or revenge or any such angle was involved.
One such famous case happened when Mahatma Gandhi was alive and he also sent a investigation team comprising of researchers,etc. It is sad and tragic story.
Yes one this often found common in these cases is sudden or violent death in past life.
Hope these cases will be solved and some explaination will come out.
Whoopi doesn't want to be canceled but she has no problem canceling others who don't agree with her
But isn't that what people who are advocating for her to be cancelled believe as well? They don't want their own people cancelled but they want her cancelled. It's a cycle that won't be broken until more people advocate for everyone's right to free speech or nobody right to it.
@@StayTunedReviews The "evil far right" people aren't advocating for her cancelling. The "free speech extremists" don't care.
I was really disappointed that Whoopi fail to understand History. Hitler wanted the Jews annihilated because his hate towards their race!!! But my goodness how many of us said things and not know what the hell we were talking about. I'm triple guilty. I pray Whoopi have real friends and show her real facts. But we must be cancel how quick we want others silenced when it can happen to you. I'm learning at 65 just to listen more and love more 💕 ❤
@@barbarastewart8066 I have had to explain this to many of my fellow African-Americans who have forgotten that Hitler (and quite a number of other Europeans and Americans) viewed (and still view) Jewish people as a completely separate race. When I first heard the Whoopi story I immediately thought, "Hunh--thought she knew her history better than that." Well, hopefully, someone has sat down with her and given her a little history lesson.
We've got to get along, people. Right now, this planet is all we've got.
@@barbarastewart8066 " Hitler wanted the Jews annihilated because his hate towards their race!!! "
That's not what he writes in mein kampf though, it's more of a mindset that he hated. They supposedly invented Marxism for instance, so that's his two main enemies, Marxism and Judaism.
And aktion T4 killed Germans too, eugenic masterrace lunatics are about purity even among themselves. That's what fascism leads to.

Only narcissists think they are a comedian and don’t need an audience to laugh at their so-called “jokes.”
Despite Bill's smirking dismissal of all things spiritual, he gives a fair and full explanation of the concept of karma. Thanks.
At least he understands what it is he is dismissing. That's better than most folks, these days.
He doesn't understand anything. He's just spewing ignorance. Karma is literally all material experience. It's amazing that anyone can think actions don't cause consequences. Every choice creates a consequence (karma) an impression (citta) and a habit (guṇa). Who doesn't have such experiences?
@@PaulHoward108 I felt embarrassed for him listening to him be so self assured there is no karma.
@@PaulHoward108 he never said “actions don’t cause consequences” he explicitly said “action A did not necessarily cause situation B” which is demonstrably true and he even gave examples. You’re just lazily misrepresenting what he said. Also “Karma is literally a material experience.” What does that even mean? If you’re trying to define what Karma really means, a non-spiritual person would not understand that definition. Bill was not speaking to spirituality, he was clearly criticizing the Americanized version ( or distortion) of karma.
@@lizsalazar8808 My impression was he ridiculed the concept of karma, which he doesn't understand. He especially ridiculed the way Americans talk about karma, but it's clear to me from watching his shows for several years that he thinks karma is a just woo. He is a staunch materialist, but materialism can't explain the behaviors of living beings. It just piles one incomplete theory onto another without a substantial foundation or real connections between them. The semantic theory given by the Vedas, which includes karma, is superior because it explains everything holistically.
You misquoted me. I said "Karma is literally all material experience." Everything you experience materially is your karma. Otherwise there's no coherent explanation for why we have different experiences. Science doesn't say how a supposed probabiliy becomes a definite event. They are actually possibilities selected by karma, which depends on choices. The concept of choices is incompatible with physical laws, but the law of karma is a semantic law.
I’m Republican. But I agree with many liberal views. There was a time when the conservatives and liberals were able to agree on some things. What is happening to our country? I love Bill. He is a true liberal and he has not changed AT all.
Another great monologue, by the best writers in the business. Funny, makes a valuable point, this is the best season for the show i think, his focus is on the real problems of peoples' narrow-mindedness rather than a political entity, etc.
The problem with Bill Maher is he is wrong about the meaning of Karma. The monologue is fine as long as it is accurate and I get his message on cancel culture but, as usual, he doesn't know what he is talking about. For example, there are 3 types of Karma. You have Karma that visits you in the next life that means the decisions and actions you make will affect you in the cosmic scale in the next life. Then there is Karma that affects you in this life, thus, the decisions and actions have consequences both good and bad. In other words you reap what you sow.
The final Karma is a specific action will bear fruit and cause good or bad depending on what you did in the fullness of time within this life.
He is right not everything is karma and just because bad stuff happens doesn't mean it came from fate. However, he should know better to half-ass his way through misusing a religious context when he doesn't understand it himself.
For everyone's information:
Sanchita: is the accumulated karma. It would be impossible to experience and endure all karmas in one lifetime. From this stock of sanchita karma, a handful is taken out to serve one lifetime and this handful of actions, which have begun to bear fruit and which will be exhausted only on their fruit being enjoyed and not otherwise, is known as prarabdha karma.
Prarabdha: Fruit-bearing karma is the portion of accumulated karma that has "ripened" and appears as a particular problem in the present life.
Kriyamana: is everything that we produce in the current life. All kriyamana karmas flow in to sanchita karma and consequently shape our future. Only in human life we can change our future destiny. After death we lose Kriya Shakti (ability to act) and do (kriyamana) karma until we are born again in another human body.
@@Ryooken I think he responded in anticipation to your post by calling all this bullshit;
@@russelfernandes8483 and this is why he's a comedian. Because if he was a scientist oh, he would know that for every action there's an equal and opposite reaction. Which is in line with if you're going to say something and you're going to do something, they have consequences. Whether it's called karma or whatever. Now I agree with him that Whoopi should not have gone to the cancel culture bulshit. However, if he had just said that instead of making it about Karma, he would have had me at the word go.
@@viking4086 where do people come from? Claiming that Newton's Law doesn't apply is rather silly. Newton's law applies in any and every situation that it fits into. Like I said if you guys spent more time, understanding the applications of the real world instead of this pseudo-intellectual BS, then you guys will have a credible argument. It's funny how you're claiming that Newton's Law doesn't work but Bill Maher's statement based on the scientific principle that correlation does not equate to causality applies. Do you see how silly you sound? You probably don't but it is funny to say the least. Now back to my original statement, if you're going to talk about Karma then you should be accurate instead of trying to fit abs anti-religion stance into a monologue. If he had said she got quite stood on her own petard, that might have had some relevance, the problem is, that wasn't true either. If you want to make a free speech argument, make it about free speech. I don't disagree with him saying that Whoopi should not have been punished. I do disagree with the way he presented it.
@@Ryooken First of all, there is no single authority as to the meaning of the word Karma. There is the Buddhist viewpoint, and then Hindu, and they differ. Then there is the Tibetan Buddhist variant, which is infused with the native Bon religious viewpoint.
Americans have boiled Karma down to "you reap what you sow", because that resonates with themes from the Bible.
However the truth is that mostly the wicked go unpunished, and therein lies a major problem with your society, where cheaters prosper. In a just society cheaters are caught and punished, and the virtuous are rewarded. How long did it take to bring down Avenatti for example? He operated for years at the highest levels of the law industry before a humble woman brought him down.
I hear you Bill. D.L. Hughley once said “ We spend more time cancelling each other , Instead of counseling each other “
How do you counsel people that live in a conspiracy world, believing in "alternative facts" and a grown man that is a serial liar and needs to wear fake tan make-up everyday? It's literally impossible to counsel them because the horse doesnt want to drink water over the kool-aid they're gulping down.

As an Indian who lives in India, I have grown up listening to the idea of 'karma'. Bill is right when he says 'karma' means 'actions'. Another closely associated concept is that of 'dharma'. This is a very complex word with myriad meanings, but in this context, we can translate it as 'duty'. Everyone has a 'dharma', and the idea is that karma should follow dharma, that is actions should follow duty conscientiously. So far, so good.
Where the ideas diverge is in the consequences of those actions. Indian philosophy broadly accepts that actions or karma has consequences. However, different schools of thought exist on whether those consequences can be accurately predicted by karma. While it is desirable for karma to follow dharma, the overlap (sanyoga) is often seen as more of a coincidence, since it is not easy for a human to ascertain their exact role in the grand scheme of things. Thus, the bhagwad gita says that while one's actions (karma) are in one's control, the consequences (karmaphal or literally the 'fruits of action') are not. This is to say that while personal responsibility is an important aspect of outcomes, there are other parameters that are not within one's control. This does not absolve one from personal responsibility, but tries to answer why, even after doing everything asked of them, one might not reach the desired outcome.
ABSOLUTELY!! Thank you so much!! As a Hindu it irritates me so much when people use Karma to mean that somehow the universe is their personal agent of vengeance. And even though Bill wasn't accurate as well but atleast he wasn't as wrong as most people are. Thanks once again.
As a Christian I've had discussions with Hindus and Buddhists on spiritual belief. To me, and this is just my assertion, the concept of karma seems to be a process of lifelong learning. I cringe when I see someone say 'karma' so loosely and with such a caustic and disingenuous intent. There are plenty of caustic Christians who love pointing their fingers and dispensing judgement. They do so with their own sense of self-righteousness rather than the example of Christ. I tell people who love using the term 'karma' at the drop of a hat that they are no different from the people that they would bemoan as self-righteous Christians. What they really do not appreciate is the shattering of their belief that they are not being judgemental simply because they invoke karma rather than God.
Shantanu,
Excellent insights. Thanks, bro. Namaste.
@@davidpaz9389 the different between concept of Karma and God is that God likes to punish. Karma doesnt punish for not subscribing. Karma simply has effect and that effect will affect you all the way into your next life. (Which I dont believe, but just stating the difference)
@@RAIRADIO Effect, you say? Depending on, what, action perhaps? Things done or not done? Things said or not said? If one does good will not one be eventually rewarded(good karma)? If one does ill will one not be eventually punished(bad karma)? Once you intoned on effect you seemed to nullify your own example about karma being neutral and impartial.
I enjoy listening to Bill so much! He has character enforced by common sense. I would love to see a discussion between him and Tulsi Gabbard.
Bill is poking fun at spiritual transcendence because deep down death scares most people. I find Bill honest and consistently funny☺
Exactly. The _only reason_ we have all that stuff and have had it for 1000's of years _is_ because most of us (at least those of us relatively balanced and sane) _are_ afraid of death. It seems uhmm, kinda permanent. Unless: RELIGION!! Oh and the other reason is people controlling other people, but... ehh that's another topic.

The problem with what Whoopi said about the Nazis is that it's factually incorrect rather than just her misguided opinion. She doesn't need to be cancelled; rather she needs to be educated.
Whoopi was only partially wrong. A lot of what the Nazi's did was not about race, but they did exterminate those they deemed to be lesser/inferior groups of people (including those of Jewish descent but also homosexuals, Slavic people, the physically and mentally disabled, the so called Gypsy people, people of color etc). The Nazi also exterminated political dissenters, members of the Clergy that did not exalt Hitler and the Nazi party, political opponents and others they deemed as threats to their power.

See, my problem with Whoopi is she doesn't believe in free speech, or free thought. She constantly advocates for people to be put in the corner for wrong-speak or wrong-think; but now thinks she should be exempt when she finds herself on the wrong side of that line. So, sure, it's not "karma", as in the buddhist concept. But, there is some poetic justice in it.
As has been said before, censorship you like is quickly followed by censorship you don't. And it's hard for me not to feel a little bit of schadenfreude when I see someone understand what the rules they advocated for really mean for them in the long run. Perhaps, going forward, she will be more for free speech. For EVERYONE.

We all knew eventually cancel culture would catch up to itself. Sometimes the only way people learn is when handed their own medicine.
Sad fact is though Whoopi isn't likely to actually learn anything. The lesson she SHOULD learn is "gee this censorship stuff really does suck, I should probably stop promoting it." But she'll most likely just learn to cater what she says even more to the ears of left wing nuts.

The troule with no-one caring about politics is that the politicians get on with the job of putting the interests of corporations and big business, and their own interests, before the interests of the people they're supposed to serve.

All the people in the crowd clapping when he said "no such thing as karma" are the same people who said anything that happened to Trump was "Karma". In other words, simple minds following the crowd
I've never been more annoyed with a crowd. Clapping cheering laughing at stuff that is actually serious
They're braindead.
Why did they laugh at the Latin phrase Bill mentioned? Did they think that was some kind of joke? 🤦♂️
@@ChiMarauder04 🧠🪦
Yeah, the clapping happened at odd times. And the enthusiastic whooping? so bizarre lol I think they have signs that light up to tell people to clap.. otherwise makes no sense
Bill is just so classy to say that about Whoopi. Not spreading hate instead correcting wrong views.
Whenever you knock the US, whether anyone disagrees with you or agrees with you, please try and keep in mind that the First Amendment is the first amendment to the Constitution of the US and A. Thank you, Bill, for continuing to support it.
If we gave as much to the first amendment as we do the second, it would be a better place to live
We need an Amendment ratifying the Paradox of Tolerance.
The Founders’ intention, as clearly evidenced in their extensive writings and thoughts on the subject, was to encourage and protect constructive dialogue, not to protect the dissemination of the most vile and hateful rhetoric and propaganda humans are capable of.
Nazism is, in every conceivable way, diametrically opposed to the rights and freedoms enumerated in the Constitution. Tolerate the spread of language, the entire premise of which is to destroy even the most basic freedoms, and you’ll see your precious free speech be the very thing you’ll have your neck stretched at the end of.
If you can’t tell the difference between the Devil’s Advocate and the Devil himself you’ll be living in Hell soon enough. And the US is rapidly approaching that destination🔥😈🔥
It's called The law of Attraction Bill...example although washing your car doesn't make it rain; but if you believe, think and speak into existence that every time you wash your car it rains, it Will rain...Law if attraction 🧲 I mean is in Proverbs the book of life, but I know you're not in the religion, but neither am I, but I do know Proverbs is The book of Lifeb and I also believe in the law of attraction
@@motherofdragons33
No, it won’t.
One persons agenda doesn’t take priority over another’s by simply speaking things into existence.. keep telling yourself you’ll win the lotto, lmk how that goes for you.
Sure you can get lucky and have a few coincidences, but “it will rain if you wash your car, and believe, think, and speak about it raining”, is as foolish when you said it, as Bill implied it to be.
@@joeyy831 ok if u say so... The difference with the lottery is you don't believe you're going to win! you can think it you can speak it but you still got to believe it and feel it n most folks ain't going to believe that but I hear ya... U should read Proverbs better yet read the book The Secret by Rhonda Burnes it'll tell all about the law of attraction
I like Bill because he's an 'everyman'.
That said, I hope his chauffeur is wearing green socks on the drive home after the show
He's more of an every teenager, actually.
@Jo Po - “I like Bill because he's an 'everyman'.”
Every man is an elitist millionaire? Bill is completely oblivious as to how the average person lives. He left us behind years ago.
@@xpindy every elderly is more like it. Dude has been out of his teens for decades.
@@samadamms3432 if you had read Jo Po's second sentence, you'd see his everyman comment was sarcasm.
Best advise I've ever received in my life: "Never harbor hatred for anyone. Such thoughts are poison and will cloud your judgment"
Doesn't always happen with me but I try the best I can
What about pitty? I only hate the people I know. Myself being one though five.
@ItsStillRealToMe DamnIt that's a good point. i think even the act of wanting child molesters and icestuous rapers and terrorists and wifebeaters to be folks who aren't alive anymore is something we can feel without hate. hate to me would be feeling that way and really deriving joy from the idea of them bein dead, it would be feeling motrally superior to them in an absolute sense, and most of all it would be imo refusing to understand how someone could become that way almost always as the result of abuse(s) done to them first
i don't know of a simple easy answer for that though, fascinating idea man! : )
So right! Like an out of control fire hate will totally consume you!
@ItsStillRealToMe DamnIt Some one is living rent-free in your head. Good luck with that.
@ItsStillRealToMe DamnIt WORD.
Nice to see Bill has lightened up a bit.
Thank you Bill! Many of us are sick and tired of this divisive authoritarian bs.
Many of you are sick period
Maher, Burr, and Chappell are my Three Kings.
My Three Kings is the 1999 movie that basically predicted Iraq 2003
Oh my damn, SAME AF.
You need more balance. Throw in Rogan and Shapiro and then you have it, and I agree with you. That way you get info from ALL sides.
Maher, Chappelle, Rogan, Burr, Shapiro. And maybe some George Carlin for some added flavor. 😉
@@palefaced1 I'd keep it funny add Shultz, Singh, Phetasy, Saagar, Krystal

You know, as a black individual, I must confess that I admire you dearly, Bill Maher for many reasons, and one of them is that you are always prepared and do your homework before you come on the air! Furthermore, everything you expressed on your shows always sent people to do their thinking correctly! In my opinion, you hold no bias, you are not oppressing anyone, and you definitely don't want to be oppressed by anyone either! You seemed to comprehend how the universe works, and for that, I truly admire you, sir!
He practices great discourse. The View, they just talk louder to talk over each other when they disagree with something before they even comprehend the full narrative the person was trying to discuss.
Nice post Peter Point! Great minds think alike!!! :-)
You're just too high on adderall, it'll pass.
Wish he would have done his homework for the year and a half of useless lockouts he was praising mask mandate as well as he has advocated for deplatforming in the past
I’ll lyk lyk
OMG, you are killing me Bill!!! (green socks and catholicism really made me flatline) ♥♥
Karma isn't even a real chameleon.. I'm gutted.
It's so sad so very few people understood that reference.
If it makes you feel any better, that belief comes and goes.

Kama exists, it's colors are red, gold and green.

Okay... As a practicing Hindu, Karma in my Dharma essentially stands for; when we do some good without selfishness, it gives us a pleasure which makes our attitude positive... Doing wrong puts a guilt in us which affects our mind negatively.... And as said, the world is the game of positivity or negativity...
@Short & Interesting Clips
No one can prove religious concepts, dude
And we can live away from various religious (and also shitty political) concepts.
Be a good man and live a good and happy life. Thats all what people need.
Karma is BS. If a kid dies off cancer, would you call it karma?
No, only Karma as you see it it BS Karma is as the guy described it's akin to conscience, do good, don't feel bad etc. Your behaviour and how it affects you... The effect and how you feel in general after thinking or doing wrong is your Karma, not that a piano fell on you three years after you are the last cookie @@xr55
Bill - you're a class act. Excellent monologue dropping truths.
Thanks Bill. So sick of KARMA BS.
Hit the nail on the head. Being offended by something someone else said doesn't mean you're right. It really means you're too much of a narcissist to handle ideas other than your own.
People need to relax, step away from their egos a bit, chill the fuck out, and learn that someone disagreeing with them isn't the end of the world.
It depends on who is saying it and what the repercussions are.
Examples: The movie "Don't Look Up."
The president telling people to drink bleach...etc
@Carpe Diem that could be because your scientific background is worthless ?
@Carpe Diem have you considered that they might be right?
@Carpe Diem I didn't consult the CDC. I've talked to a lot of nurses about what they're seeing in the hospital. Because of what I've heard from them, I have no reason to believe the statistics about who's dying or getting terribly ill, are wrong.
I'm glad you've considered that you might be wrong, as have I. The truth may be somewhere in between our views, or some combination.
We're both a little arrogant. That's our Karma...😉
Offense doesn't = right. Just like a crying child doesn't mean they are being abused by the parents. When it comes to debate, heated insults completely devolve dialog for applause. Would it kill Bill to say something nice about Trump without a yeah but. Or Sean Hannity to say something nice about Joe Biden or Kamala Harris? No cause they do not want to risk being fired or ostracized for it.
Defending someone who insulted you is the most American thing EVER! This took balls.
someone on the left on a left show defending someone on the left from a left show in front of a left audience takes balls? No defending someone from the opposite end of the spectrum takes balls. defend Joe Rogan.
you can switch all those lefts to rights if you want doesn't change the truth of the statement.
I doubt the audience members applauding Bill Maher would support the things that Maher is saying here if they were actually faced with these issues.
They are applauding him because they are used to applauding him.
I’m going with Schadenfreude, myself. It’s even more fun and more honest than karma.
