As Jesus said, you cannot serve two masters..., you cannot serve both God and money." Unfortunately for many of these Republican politicians they have chosen to serve money
I love when Bill lets Overtime roll on for a while. Bill, please let your guests talk to each other like this without rushing through questions. Thank you!
Over two years ago and still fascinating listening to the rationalizations and misdirection by Ralph Reed. He needs to check his sources on who is the deceiving anti-Christ.
Bill Maher is a genus 😂, he noticed when Reed was going off and his way of getting on a new subject was asking a overtly religious question. Good tactic as a host and an interesting conversation
All of his followers still do. Any question that has an obvious answer negative of trump is answered by "But Obama..." or "But the emails..." GOP defenders of the constitution my ass...If Obama had done half the shit Trump pulled in his first two weeks he would have been impeached in a heartbeat...
Al Forest - Does he even love his family? We will see. But my money is on Donnie throwing Junior under the bus to save his own skin, if it comes to that.
If Obama and Clinton didn't do it first we wouldn't have anything to compare it to. And if it's so serious when Trump does it then why are the Clinton's and Obama getting a pass? Why is it ok for them? And if it is ok for them then why the fuss when Trump does the same things? Can you say hypocrisy and double standards
which proves he's full of shit...everything he said sounds perfectly rehearsed... a friend of mine is a detective and he has said, when a suspect has plausible answer for everything and every question you ask them, they look at them more becasue it's clear they've been coached or practiced what to say at most or something is wrong and suspicious at least.
When Ralph starts explaining the difference between the Devil and the Antichrist, he may as well be explaining the difference between a couple of fictional Game of Thrones' characters. It always astounds me when grown-ups organize their lives around the translated scribbles of Iron Age goat herders who didn't understand why it rained. This is just beyond stupid.
I love the Conservative debate strategy of talk over everyone, make snarky comments about things you yourself just said were no big deal (did anyone else catch how it was the "Ukrainian government" because it was someone loosely connected but not the "Russian government" because it wasn't Putin himself), try to deflect. Hell I'm shocked he didn't just stand up and scream "BENGHAZI!!"
Megan M - Ralph Reed just seems like an idiot... he doesn’t understand Russia... Putin is X KGB and there was a known Putin associate at the meeting who is also X KGB. And he says that only adoption and an act freezing money of Russian billionaires was discussed... nothing related to Putin was discussed? You don’t become and remain a billionaire in Russia unless you are made a billionaire by Putin. Putin put a billionaire in jail and took his billions and gave it to someone else. So even discussing something related to a Russian billionaire - you are discussing doing a favor for Putin... because part of that money is Putin’s.
I feel terrible that I missed this bus but, MEGAN! Ralph doing the "Yea, But" equivalency and dilution technique. "Your guy did it so it's less wrong because 'everybody's doing it' is cute. Give the poor little dandy man a break. My uncle Chet would call him "a dandy" if he saw how he was dressed. Yes, it was a year ago but he's still just too GQ and Metrosexual for my taste. Yes, his needing evidence is also interesting. OK, Better late than never.
"It's a nothing meeting" he says? If that works, great way to get out of a drug deal sting; "But, they were cops & I didn't actually buy the drugs cuz they arrested me... it was a nothing meeting." Case dismissed?!
Everyone knows that the best christians are the ones with money. Remember that saying "It's easy to fit a fat man through a needle, and that's how you get into heaven" Everyone knows you need to take money with you when you go!! :-D
I wonder how many 'fishes and loaves' he's provided for those in need. I wonder how many people have become those in need because of Reed and his following?
Ray Finkle Yes, and it was a sham. Frankly irrelevant. Now about time the glorious leader started doing some work. The Orange fuck has not worked a day in his life.
+Michael Anderson "Ralph is a joke but Liberals do the samething Obama did have bad policies , was a poor leader in many ways but Bill and other liberals never called him out." bill called Obama out plenty of times dumb-ass he also had this thing where he tie to go by context and by benefit of the doubt... i love how these people have nothing but centrist, "ah they are this but these people are this and did this" excuse... lol thanks CNN, balance determines shit all.
Well this aged perfectly for most on the show...except for that guy in the right saying he doesn’t think Trump wouldn’t fight tooth & nail to leave the WH. #OpenYourEyes
"Where is the evidence?" asks the man who has made a fortune telling people he can talk to an invisible entity without providing any evidence for his claims.
How important is the truth? It is sad that those obligated to teach truth from the inspired word of God don't! 1 John 2:18 reads: "Young children, it is the last hour, and just as you have heard that the antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have appeared, from which fact we know that it is the last hour." This helps us appreciate there are many antichrist. Anyone teaching what is false about Christ Jesus especially knowingly, can be called an antichrist!
I was a militant atheist. But I had supernatural encounters with Jesus Christ with witnesses, including instant supernatural healings, being in his supernatural presence, friends having near death experience/OBE and meeting him. So now I am a Christian. Also the wind is invisible. Does it not exist anymore.
I mean... Ralph Reed was acting like a straight up villain in this. Not like Voldemort or Sauron villain but, the bad guy in a drama. The way he smiled slyly all the time, it was like he was a used car salesman.
What is it called when someone bombards the opposition with a series of weak arguments to distract from the real issue? Cause I'm seeing a LOT of it coming from purple tie over here.
I can't explain the amount of anger i feel when i hear Ralph Reed talk about a congressional race that cost 60$ million. An investigation into a thing implies you're looking for answers you do not have...so how would one know where not to look?
I thought it was funny as hell. I would have brought up the fact that Trump he wanted to shoot Mexicans at the border and then his followers went and did just that. It's how he gets horrible shit done without actually ordering it.
Ralph Reed demonstrates what's wrong with this current political climate, that if the other side does something similar then their side can wash their hands of any culpability.
Michael Weiss was easily the best guest on this panel, so informed and well-spoken. I wish there was more panel discussion time in the main episode instead of wasting so much time uselessly arguing with Ralph and that silly Obama segment.
so does this dude works for the anti-christ or the devil? oh, you think he works for god? 2 Corinthians 11:13-15, Paul says “Even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. So it is not strange if his servants also disguise themselves as servants of righteousness.”. do not underestimate your enemy
And yet, time has revealed that everything was planned and planted by Hillary. Do you now have the decency to admit that not only were you wrong but that the devil, Hilary was disguised as the angel of light while Trump was made to look like a traitor? 4 years of Russian collision hoax, all built and planted by Hilary? Sad
Trump admires dictators. Trump gushes about dictators. Trump never says a negative thing about Putin. This even though Putin has had dozens of people murdered. Which Trump thinks shows that Putin is a strong leader. Trump truly wants to be a dictator. The sooner he is gone the better.
Ralph Reed is useless as a debater. The only way he can compete is by politely interrupting, talking at length, and changing the subject constantly. This is not reason; this is rhetoric
Wish I could agree. But he was totally outnumbered, and the young guy on the middle left was pushing the hardest against his narrative, but he was able to hold them all off. Don't know why Maher cut the conversation short. Reed might have been defeated if the conversation had been able to go longer; instead he won the exchange.
I'm a (semi-religious) Christian, so I know I'm gonna get a lot of flack/ridicule for my faith and that's absolutely fair game. But I need to say that Ralph Reed and people like him are nothing but selfish, close-minded hypocrites who use religion as a label to manipulate and swindle their own, as well as demonize the other. Rather than a call to show mercy, love, and service to the suffering, the outcasts, and the destitute. In Trump's words, "SAD!"
No one cares if yer religious. The issues people have with it is the same as yours. When they use that shit to control other people through fear or false hope.
Thank you. I love that he gets people with opposing views, that's one of the great things about this show (I so love hearing a RANGE of views and opinions), but the point is to hear from ALL the people on the panel. I hate when he has these railroad assholes on that never let anyone else finish a thought and just keep lying and pushing their own narratives, derailing the conversation. That is NOT having a discussion, that's putting your fingers in your ears and yelling, "La la la, can't hear you!" Those types make for terrible episodes; it ruins the panel segment. Bill either needs to improve at being a moderator, or, better yet, just not have sycophants on the show.
I can't believe I've been sleeping on Bill Maher this whole time, I discovered (in order ) Trevor Noah, John Oliver, the president show, john Stewart and now Bill. This guy is funny and gives no fucks. I guess trump did bring jobs as in for comedians to shit on him
I feel like if you didn't know the initial context or ever heard the word "Anti-Christ" .....he sounded like he was describing to a shockingly accurate degree, Donald Trump lol
"It's a nothing meeting" "You're honor, you can't convict me of conspiracy to commit murder, because my victim never died!" "But we have you on tape paying an undercover officer" "It was a nothing meeting, because they were an undercover officer!" Spin some more.
Republicans: We have no problem with you if you don't believe in our God. Everyone else: Oh good, for a second I thoug.... Republicans: AS LONG AS YOU ACKNOWLEDGE JESUS AS YOUR LORD AND SAVIOR!!! Everyone else: But, you just said... Republicans: GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!!
Fat bastard no but that's because you can't win in America being a known atheist. I would bet both Trump and Obama could care less about religion if you could really ask them honestly.
Kevin Borchers I totally agree Trump and Obama aren't religion first guys at all. I think that the Republicans aren't all either. They say it to get the Christian right's vote. Do you think Bush number 2 honestly cared that much about religion.
Fat bastard that's a tough one because on one hand your right many of them pretend in public to get the vote, but on the other hand there are legitimate believers like Mike Pence for example. I don't know how to answer that for Bush because i could see that going either way for him. Many deny climate change because they believe God is in control of the ozone layer lol. I find it hard to believe highly educated people can still believe that bullshit but yet there a tons that do. So for Bush i honestly don't know. I absolutely loved what Richard Dawkins said on this weeks Real Time: "if the only reason your being moral is because you believe someone is watching you at all times, I don't want to know you".
James Burgess the Republicans have to come to terms with the fact that their two most passionate beliefs contradict one another: Christianity and Capitalism. Trump is the poster child for Capitalism and greed, he is also the poster child of everything Christians think is awful and worthy of burning in hell for. He lies daily, is greedy as fuck, all about his own ego, the things he's said about woman and minorities and the ways he's screwed hard working people over his entire life. You can't be a Christian and think Trump is a wise choice at the same time. Similarly you can't think Capitalism, take care of yourself, make as much money as possible fuck everyone else is the way to go and be a true follower of Jesus. I'm not arguing for Capitalism to go away just that Jesus probably would more inclined to "share the wealth".
ah religion - its history is like that cool dude at a house party who socializes with everybody, keeps a few drunks from brawling and even sticks around to help clean up when its over...then when the hosts express their gratitude along with their farewells he suddenly says he's not leaving...they ask for how much longer...he says never...things get awkward and they insist he leave...he LOSES IT...pulls out a knife...starts judging how they live, says they are going to take care of him from now on, making unreasonable and arbitrary demands, threatens to kill anyone who tries to evict him...now its a hostage situation and the police arrive...they try an appeal to his logic but he just flails around shouting gibberish at them!...he severely injures one of the hostages, the police decide they gave it their best, they open fire on the black dude one house over, blame him for the crime and leave...the couple helpless and afraid bandage up and concede to this madman's occupation...now they just live...forced to provide for a twitchy, loud, crazy dude who unnervingly mutters nonsense to himself and chases away anyone who tries to help
I have never thought I would live to see ( in the face of evidence) people blatantly defend the indefensible (WOW)
Must suck knowing u all looked like crazy cry babies with russia
@@jtboss8139 Must be nice not having to bother with rational thought.
It is baffling to me, as a Christian, how these so called "Christians" can switch off their morals and beliefs and switch them back on. Sickening.
With some of these people, their "values" are power and oppressing people who don't look like them or share their beliefs.
As Jesus said, you cannot serve two masters..., you cannot serve both God and money." Unfortunately for many of these Republican politicians they have chosen to serve money
Reed has always been a conservative stooge

I love when Bill lets Overtime roll on for a while. Bill, please let your guests talk to each other like this without rushing through questions. Thank you!
Know the difference between a car salesman and a televangelist? The televangelist has a nicer suit
Arcee ... and colorful tie and pocket thing...and they all have perfectly coiffed hair!
Well, that. And that you can actually buy a car from a car salesman - a televangelist gives you nothing, especially if you pay him.
Arcee hahaha
The car salesman sells you something that exists.
Hey now. The car salesman provides a service to the people.

it's all these treasonous animals have -- deflection. it's what children do. children and russians; whataboutism.

If Reed murdered someone, clearly his defense would be that someone else murdered some too, so it's okay
WHAT ABOUT OJ SIMPSON? WHAT ABOUT JEFFREY DAHMER? I REST MY CASE!
This was an interesting exchange. I do appreciate the candor. We may not agree with one another, but we do need more conversations like this.
If they get too close to Trump's sins, deflect to Obama or Clinton.
-Republican Handbook 101 (2017)
and 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021
That's what they do best.
They've been doing that before 2017.
Republicans and Democrats alike USED TO call out their own party members for wrong shit.
If Obama and Clinton didn't do it first we wouldn't have anything to compare it to. And if it's so serious when Trump does it then why are the Clinton's and Obama getting a pass? Why is it ok for them? And if it is ok for them then why the fuss when Trump does the same things? Can you say hypocrisy and double standards
"BUT HER EMAILS... REEEEEEEEEEEEEE" - Ralph Reed
No impeachment; Recall the whole damn administration.
I like the way you think.
That purple tied Barney Skinner is totally monopolizing on the conversation. He, like trump, has an alternative answer for everything.
which proves he's full of shit...everything he said sounds perfectly rehearsed...

This is truly an age of misinformation.
Because we are in an age of idiots that will believe whatever their favorite spinman tells them.
and there is no way of truly knowing how propaganda effects people. when they say no votes were effected, it's not true
This is the GOLDEN AGE of misinformation.
Definitely misinformation.
That's thanks to MISINFORMATION. Too much information is not a problem as long as it's factually accurate.
"I think that's a relevant fact" - creepy, evangelical fraud guy
Relevance and Facts are things that don't exist in the Trump era.
Damn, when Reed was describing the antichrist I thought TRUMP!

I feel like if you didn't know the initial context or ever heard the word "Anti-Christ" .....he sounded like he was describing to a shockingly accurate degree, Donald Trump lol
Ralph reed has been taken right up the trump tower by the donald.
Ralph. How can you support T if you are religious?
Tnks
"It's a nothing meeting"
"You're honor, you can't convict me of conspiracy to commit murder, because my victim never died!"
"But we have you on tape paying an undercover officer"
"It was a nothing meeting, because they were an undercover officer!"
Spin some more.
Sure have had my fill of the nonsense babbling subject changing and never shutting up representatives for the republican party!
Ralph is supporting Trump becasue they go to the same tanning salone and he doesn`tcwant to loose the disscount
The TRUTH.. Has indeed become stranger than.. FICTION!
When you know you are right, you don't have to prevent others from saying anything.
Republicans: We have no problem with you if you don't believe in our God.
Everyone else: Oh good, for a second I thoug....
Republicans: AS LONG AS YOU ACKNOWLEDGE JESUS AS YOUR LORD AND SAVIOR!!!
Everyone else: But, you just said...
Republicans: GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!!
James Burgess
Is there a Democrat President that didn't acknowledge Jeus as his lord and savior?
Fat bastard no but that's because you can't win in America being a known atheist. I would bet both Trump and Obama could care less about religion if you could really ask them honestly.
Kevin Borchers
I totally agree Trump and Obama aren't religion first guys at all.
I think that the Republicans aren't all either. They say it to get the Christian right's vote.
Do you think Bush number 2 honestly cared that much about religion.
Fat bastard that's a tough one because on one hand your right many of them pretend in public to get the vote, but on the other hand there are legitimate believers like Mike Pence for example. I don't know how to answer that for Bush because i could see that going either way for him. Many deny climate change because they believe God is in control of the ozone layer lol. I find it hard to believe highly educated people can still believe that bullshit but yet there a tons that do. So for Bush i honestly don't know.
I absolutely loved what Richard Dawkins said on this weeks Real Time: "if the only reason your being moral is because you believe someone is watching you at all times, I don't want to know you".
James Burgess the Republicans have to come to terms with the fact that their two most passionate beliefs contradict one another: Christianity and Capitalism. Trump is the poster child for Capitalism and greed, he is also the poster child of everything Christians think is awful and worthy of burning in hell for. He lies daily, is greedy as fuck, all about his own ego, the things he's said about woman and minorities and the ways he's screwed hard working people over his entire life. You can't be a Christian and think Trump is a wise choice at the same time. Similarly you can't think Capitalism, take care of yourself, make as much money as possible fuck everyone else is the way to go and be a true follower of Jesus. I'm not arguing for Capitalism to go away just that Jesus probably would more inclined to "share the wealth".
ah religion - its history is like that cool dude at a house party who socializes with everybody, keeps a few drunks from brawling and even sticks around to help clean up when its over...then when the hosts express their gratitude along with their farewells he suddenly says he's not leaving...they ask for how much longer...he says never...things get awkward and they insist he leave...he LOSES IT...pulls out a knife...starts judging how they live, says they are going to take care of him from now on, making unreasonable and arbitrary demands, threatens to kill anyone who tries to evict him...now its a hostage situation and the police arrive...they try an appeal to his logic but he just flails around shouting gibberish at them!...he severely injures one of the hostages, the police decide they gave it their best, they open fire on the black dude one house over, blame him for the crime and leave...the couple helpless and afraid bandage up and concede to this madman's occupation...now they just live...forced to provide for a twitchy, loud, crazy dude who unnervingly mutters nonsense to himself and chases away anyone who tries to help
Ralph is so out of touch.
Time did tell bill!
As a Christian Conservative, American Veteran I would have been tempted to tell him to GFH.
