Bill, you are talking to a man that has been holed up in a building for a damn long time. He has skin in the game, much more than you ever will. To write him off as "you are in a much better state of mind than the last time i talked to you" is some straight up bullshit. I know you love Hillary now but you are turning into everything I hate about politics.
Well said. He's shown that he's a slime ball with the rest of the media. People like him would rather defend corruption with more disinformation for their own ego and pride than to admit when their "side" fucks up. I'm done with him...
yeah it's only fun when the guy releasing the information is doing it to people you don't like. when it's your ox being gored then it's wrong wrong wrong
Says the angry white Christian guy claiming he's not at all politically partisan but using "Bob Jones" as his YT tag, give me a break...nothing politically partisan there, lol
could it also be the other way around you hate Hillery. there is always the ones who try and justify all they shit that comes out of that pie holes mouth..
You're wrong , Maher will be remembered in 50 years , by being an actor who gave a war criminal a million dollars and later backed that war criminal's SOS who is also a war criminal .
Heroes do all they can when they can. Being assassinated and dumped in a river only to be forgotten about days and weeks later doesn't help them or us.
+Don Stubbs the fuck are you talking about? this ain't the movies bro, you can't fight the US government. what else would he do except go to jail as everyone watches and excepts it? Nah run dude, run.
Snowden and Manning are pure pieces of shit that both deserve a bullet. They, along with Julian Assange, are only heroes to the kleptocratic Russian dictatorship.
Just looked like Bill brought him on to shame him on damage he has done to the DNC-> Shillary. Every time Assange would make a good point in response, Bill would just change the subject or move onto the next talking point. It is pretty sad and pathetic how people like Maher supported Shillary from the very beginning when we could have had a fairly won presidency with Bernie. His policies benefited the people and polled far better than Hillary against Trump. Grandma Maher has the nerve to suggest to Bernie to run a 2nd time as well.
charlidog2 No, he did not. 3 questions maybe for a 10 min interview? Usually shows like this have a longer list in the event more content is needed. It's almost as if he didn't want to make this about Wikileaks damaging the DNC/Hilary's credibility further....
Gi E You are inconsistent. Why would Bill be against Bernie, yet want him to run again. Bernie is a rock star, Bill is one of his fans. You have no credibility.
I heard Bill did, indeed, donate to Shillary. Is he denying the donation or just the amount? Also, Bernie was asked more than once about his religious views, so he's wrong, again.
They are not playing the same field but they are gracious enough to disagree with civility. Bill gave a few good punches as it is his style and Assange landed a few good ones. But they parted on a common understanding.
Assange should have said "by being non-partisan, Bill, I've proven that I can be trusted, but when you donated that money to Obama, you've proven that, at least in this election, you can't." Also Bill, just because you have something personal against Trump doesn't mean Wikileaks has to hack him. People aren't dead over Trump's taxes, but the same can't be said for Hillary's e-mails.
I like him as a comedian, but he is terrible at hiding his biases. He just brushes everyone off who has a different view from his, which I find rather hypocritical that he mocks people about safe spaces. Also, as much as I think Trump is a dumpster fire who should never hold office, I think Bill is still pissed about Trump trying to sue him.
I love Bill but he doesn't have a leg to stand on with this one - god bless america - the lone survivor marcus latrell is backing trump and so am i - and we love latinos and muslim american heros like mohammad ali and the kahns son. A peoples history of the united states by howard zinn - uses the clintons to demonstrate how they all sell out - 100% - takes a very strong person to stand up - please vote trump 2016 - stand up for your country - we do not want to be ruined like sweden
"Obviously russia did it" "Why don't you hack Trump?" "And we also know that you don't like Clintron at all" The Audience clapped for this...they fucking clapped for this bullshit.
His audience are mostly LA maggots that quickly become flies and are attracted to shit. They are a group-think audience formed in an echo-chamber and listen to a man who I used to be a huge fan of but espouses Dunning-Kruger effect.
Yes! Just like the press clapped for Clinton yesterday after her half ass press conference. (The first in almost a year). Why are unbiased press clapping?
1) All evidence points to Russia, experts agree on this 2) No one has targeted or released information on the RNC or Trump 3) Assange has admitted to having a personal vendetta against Clinton. He is a two-faced little git who complains that Clinton would be bad for free speech, but doesn't care that Trump wants to make it easier to sue media that he doesn't like.
lol WHAT DOOR?..you demtards dont have a hovel to call "home" anymore..the dnc shit ship is sinking fast and Trump is riding the current all the way to the white house..sucks to be you ;P
How? Just because he called Assange out on his bullshit and Assange didn't even know how to respond, Bill is discredited? It wasn't a "plot," and Assange fucking knows it. It was a discussion that didn't go anywhere. The man obviously has an ax to grind. He doesn't like Clinton and has made it pretty clear how vindictive he is. It's also clear he doesn't like Snowden, and might even resent him. He takes everything too personal, and people who take things personal have motivations for the things they want to do.
Dont worry. He will backpedal next show just to preserve his viewership. He is that type of whore. He is like Glen Beck only FAR more intelligent and skilled at subversion.
2016 it was the libertarians with Ron Paul that screwed by the RNC now it's Bernie and the progressives. You know how you stop this? Libertarians and progressives unite. a public truce. How bout Jill Stein and a libertarian candidate run TOGETHER ON THE TICKET. up to 80 seats are up for election once the corporate sellouts are utterly destroyed then we can tango. But all long either the democrats or Republicans are in power NOBODY IS FREE OR SAFE
+mdsaxc02 Sounds like the intro to "The Odd Couple". Who would seriously vote for a oxymoron party? The two philosophies are 180° apart... A big government Libertarian? A hands off Progressive?
Such a shame to see you crumple every shred of credibility you once had and flush it down the toilet. What sort of intellectual argues against having more information?
+Tee Vee That it came from a Russian operative is pure speculation. You do realize this was "leaked" information and not "hacked" information right? You do know the difference between the two. Assange has never given sources but in this case, has eluded to the fact that the information may have been"leaked" from someone inside. So please stop perpetuating the propaganda your news media, the same organizations that got their matching orders from the DNC, has been spreading with zero evidence to back.
+Tony Vega When you purchase a used automobile, you likely want to know that the maintenance has been done, that the tyres are in good shape... you want to know what you're getting before going in debt. So why wouldn't you want to know what you're getting with a candidate? Wouldn't your want to know if that person would do anything to win? Wouldn't that tell you a great deal about the character of that person, that they would subvert the democratic process of necessary? Transparency is the right thing, always. If she's still elected after truly getting to know her, then so be it. Then you can vote with a little less delusion. All that aside, i will say this... I have to question anyone who believes the world might be more safe with a hawkish interventionist in command, especially considering all the shite with NATO and Russia going on at this very moment. Putin has no love for Hillary and she's made her feelings for him very clear. She also has a track record for neoliberal expansion efforts.
One of the things I hate about Maher is that he can NEVER have an intelligent argument. The moment he argues with someone that has a point he always deflects with a snarky comment and wants to move on. For example, here, Julian Assange mentions that the DNC discussed ways to use Bernie's beliefs against him. Assange mentioned this ONCE, and immediately Maher says, "You've worn me down with this issue." (See 6:55). Up next, I hope Assange confronts the other shills, John Oliver and Trevor Noah, who, despite having such great corruption info on Hillary refuse to discuss it (they love to talk about the size of Trump hands though). Champions of the people? Fighting corruption? Not when it really counts. They are bought. Fuck 'em.
I'm sure just about everybody would throw Hillary under the bus at this point, but most are rightfully scared of the orange moronic blob known as Trump.
***** OMG, get real. You need a dose of reality and fast, as does the OP. It's fine speaking truth to power and having hopes for a viable change candidate such as Bernie, I know I voted for him, but he lost. Even he now admits that the best way to further his ideas is through Hillary. It might sicken me and you to an even greater extent but it's the situation we are in. Deal with it. But your main complaint is with trying to buck the entire structure of biological life as we know it. So get real; you might think people sucking up to people with power and money is digusting and wrong, but what's the alternative? Aligning yourself with hippies in a commune that can't even keep the insects out of their yurts? It's simply a choice between Hilliary, a typical status quo candidate that has a conscious and will try to help the down trodden where she can while still aligning with established power brokers....or Trump, a candidate that will work up the masses while intending to take a giant shit on them and everyone else that doesn't have 500 million plus dollars.
***** I did vote for Bernie. And I do believe in change and a process aided by Assange's "lights on, cockroaches out" policy. I hope you understand the reference. But to clamor on and on that Hillary is the coming of the apocalypse or to suggest she's so corrupt why even vote for her, is pure lunacy. She's an establishment candidate that slipped by in a year begging for change. So be it. We'll have to hope she's better than Trump. And we know she is! Her work on universal health care and the children's defense fund speaks volumes. Is she corrupt...yes, yes she is. But she comes from a time when not being a bit corrupt gets you a job at Mc Donalds. I'd rather have her being a two-face jerk holding office and occasionally fighting for noble causes than for her to be a pillar of honesty and virtue holding a hostess job at buffalo wild wings. maybe someday corruption won't be tolerated. But right now the name of the game is to play ball and win battles where you can.
Edward Turner Uh, no. I'm a sad reductionist that realizes you can't buck 3.5 billion years of biological evolution due to political whims that give you warm fuzzies at night. Sometimes dramatic and sudden change occurs where we can all cheer. But usually it's a long hard battle for extending and preserving freedom and rights to the less fortunate. I could never be a right wing nut. They deny reality, that's a deal breaker for me. They won't admit climate change is real. And they refuse to admit that evolution is a rigorously tested and observable theory. They also sell economic lies and myths that are obvious in their intention. They seek to keep trust fund kids from lifting a finger. So get used to me self identifying as a liberal and a democrat. Is that ok, friendo? Or because I'm not a pie in the sky hippie from a commune are you ready to dismiss me?
Bill's a fucking moron. WikiLeaks are NOT hackers. All they do is publish hacked information that's given to them. They are simply editors and publishers.
Sm Connors He had a chance to ask great questions to a very influential person, and that is what he gave us. But you knew that was what it was going to be.
+Morgan Montz Bill is just another dem party slut. He is usually decent at asking pointed questions, but clearly he does not want to hear the truth on Hillary.
Assange himself said "Both the DNC and RNC security is weak". Why did he decide to release this info before the convention?? When Assange has a personal grudge with Clinton he is biased. He is not neutral by any stretch of the imagination.
+Shlomo von Shekelberg I work graveyard and was up for a long night, and what's wrong with commenting is this not a comment section. Is there a limit? Did I miss the sign some where?
I would not say that he is so much on the Clinton bandwagon as he finds Trump to be a dangerous person. Since there is no chance that the other candidates will win, then, yes, he see Clinton as a way to prevent a Trump presidency.
+xcsheehan Objectively is being critical of ALL power structures, not just the ones you don't agree with. Subverting the democratic process should have EVERY person angry.
There is a difference he is a liberal progressive political comedian and commentator not a unbiased journalist. In addition journalistic unbias isn't the same as giving both sides no matter how wrong one side is. It is giving the truth
+SCOTTYPization I don't see him being any different from your news media "commentators"... I use that term because they only pretend to be journalists. Difference might be that he injects a bit of "humor" here and there. He IS part of the spin machine though.... make no mistake about it.
The people clapping and supporting the idea that we shouldn't look into wrongdoings of Hillary Clinton just because she's running against Donald Trump really rub me the wrong way.
Thanks for putting out the truth and this is coming from someone that despise Trump we have to accept the bad with the good because the American people have a right to know
Bill's reaction was the same as the reaction of America to Bradley Manning or Edward Snowden: blaming the person who uncovered corruption instead of blaming the person committing the corruption.
People in this world do not appreciate Julian Assangs sacrifice. He is doing a great service to this world by exposing corruption but he get discredited in the name of national security. This man has given up all all his freedom and living in that embassy for years. People need to gather up to protect people like him.
We live in the real world where getting the country ruined by orange psycho Russia puppet is the most dangerous threat of our lives, and is not a dumbtard like u who thinks a 3rd party has a chance! Hillary is a qualified strong candidate we with brains trust!
Every woman and black person voting for Hillary Clinton or any democrat needs to learn about history. Republicans gave women and blacks the right to vote. The Democrats voted against both.
women got the vote in the US under Woodrow Wilson. Democratic party en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woodrow_Wilson The Voting Rights Act was voted in under LBJ. Democratic party en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lyndon_B._Johnson#Voting_Rights_Act the truth is better
Robert Ley When the House of Representatives passed the 19th Amendment in May 1919 it did so by 304 votes to 89, with Democrats only 104 to 70 in favour but Republicans 200 to 19. In the Senate, Democrats were in favour only by 20 to 17 but the GOP voted for it by 36 to 8. That's right, the Republican party gave women the right to vote.
In regards to the 15th amendment the vote in the House was 144 to 44, with 35 not voting. The House vote was almost entirely along party lines, with no Democrats supporting the bill and only 3 Republicans voting against it, some because they thought the amendment did not go far enough in its protections. Democrats did not feel black people should ever be allowed to vote.
During that time the GOP was actually the liberal party, running on platforms like Theodore Roosevelt's which focused on breaking up big business and protecting the environment. The 20th century saw a complete swap of ideology between the two parties that culminated in the signing of the Civil Rights act by LBJ which saw an eventual response by the "Neo-Conservative" movement which was spearheaded by Ronald Reagan, one of the two most famous republicans in American History. This movement was based on concepts like a reversal of Roe v Wade, destruction of Affirmative Action, nativist immigration policy, prayer in school, and anti-LGBT rhetoric. The GOP has not been the party of minorities for decades, as anyone who has actually learned their history will tell you.
that party you are referring to is dead and buried. things change, time moves on. time to find a different "thing" to say, tim. don't reply to this btw, I won't be back.
I rather like disagreeing with Maher. I don't really want to watch a show where I agree 100% of the time or 0% of the time for that matter. Complain all you want when Bill gets it wrong but it's why I enjoy the show's discourse more than any others.
The "discourse" you are referring to is spinning the news cycle into black and white themes that "Republicans are stupid and evil" and "Democrats care for the poor, they may ties with special interests but that's acceptable as long as they don't fuck the poor", except they ARE fucking over people. Save your bullshit for David Brock.
Hey you like/hate Assange or Mayer. WHO CARES. Wikileaks has continued to prove massive amounts of corruption in the world. THAT is where your anger should be!
That is a good point, but he mentioned releasing at a time where the most public attention was surrounding it so it would be harder to sweep under the rug and easier to spread. It does stink for Bernie though, and for his voters.
Small note: Dinesh says he gave the max of like 2,500-2,700. and asked three friends to do the same and he would then repay the friends the funds. thus giving his "life long friend" from college 10k. This does violate law. Lets not forget that insider trading is legal for lawmakers! (link) -->> www.newsmax.com/InsideCover/pelosi-stock-insider-60minutes/2011/11/13/id/417848/
Maher is a pathetic example of an establishment stooge serving his Queen of deceit and lies. Assange, you are one of the few last heroes in this age of degeneration.
The funny thing is, you're either naive or ignorant. Likely ignorant to the fact that you're part of the problem. Nothing will happen to Assange and they have 415,000 more emails, both from the DNC and Clinton Initiative. Most of the initial emails were to strike at the corruption of the DNC, Debbie Wasserman Schultz and a few others. Once resigned or were fired, now the attention is on Hillary. All of the damaging evidence will be seen likely in spurts over the next 100 days. This insanity from the left needs to be destroyed. This is coming from a Washington DC native who used to be a Liberal leaning Independent, now a good portion of the liberals in the country have gone off the deep end. Far worse and more embarrassing than the Tea Party. My advice is have a seat and watch the show, because if Hillary makes it into the white house, that's it. the scales are fully tipped and our country now has a one party system. A liberal North Korea where voting occurs but no longer matters. I assure you, if that occurs, you'll have an armed insurrection, not just the heavily armed half of the country, but most of the military as well. We're beyond pissed, but anyone who knows any service members knows this by now.
Brian Rosnick Americans... Since when did corporatist Democrats like Hillary become "liberal"? You have corporate control in your country already, while they polarize you into accepting "liberal" or "conservative" labels. Both want more government. Both want less freedom for the citizens and more freedom for its true constituents -the bankers, big pharma, insurance and military contractors. All the while they get you folks to fight over which bathrooms the transgender folks might be using. They are already gearing up for resistance, hence the militarization of your police. They're doing it in my country as well, and Germany is well on it's way to martial law. All very well orchestrated I can assure you. Could Trump change things? Doubtful. We're already seeing the plan unfold with NATO, Russia, false flags to drum up fear of 'terrorism', etc..
A marvelous video; perfect vignette into state of America today. A marvelously courageous individual and modern Isaac Newton is interviewed and the questions are designed to malign. Bill Maher is the democratic establishment.
Look at all this salty princesses in the comment section insulting Assange and stuff just because he leaked stuff from the DNC. If he had leaked Trump's tax returns they would be clapping and praising him. Hypocrisy at its best. Maher keeps disappointing more and more every show.
The red herring argument and ad hominem in full effect. Bill seems to love Hillary more than any principles of justice. Its so odd to see that level of devotion.
Great interview. On one side primitive and nasty democratic party propagator and on other, the nice guy who sacrifices his life showing all evil of the same party. Bill Maher successfully managed to show his own stupidity and idiotism. Bravo Julian.
To play devil's advocate: There are two sexes (male and female). But gender can have multiple definitions. It is often synonymous with one's sex (as you used it), but in the realm of the social sciences it can also mean sexual identity, of which there are potentially many, depending on the culture and how it recognizes these. So I guess it's all semantics.
+Sooduhnim that's not playing the devil's advocate, that's explaining the truth to a bunch of brainless five years old still giggling at the word "boobies"
people r naive.....criticizing bill....bill is real man ...... he gave chance to speak Assange in his show......when other news channel didnt ..... he also gave one of bernie sander supporter as a guest in his every show ...when other news media barely showed bernie sander's member.... he want his viewer get smart... ofcourse he support hillary afterall he is dem....
I would not be surprised in the least if wikileaks doesn't drop a few hundred of her deleted "Personal" emails around October. Hopefully ruining her career and putting her in prison to boot.
After this interview and Bill making it personal, you better fucking BELIEVE ASSANGE is going to fucking ream Clinton, thereby rendering Bill's million dollars so much toilet paper. I fucking love every second of it. Fuck Clinton and Bill. ASSANGE '16
So who is the William Maher from LA who donated the million? His second cousin once removed? Bill Maher would never ever lie about anything now would he?
Trump bots in full effect. Calling other people liars when their master could say something and then change his words the next day and calls it "sarcasm"
+runelord37 Lol, yeah, I was conflicted whether to like it or not. I love Assange & he did great, but Bill Maher was so crazy transparent while trying to push his(the DNC's) agenda that I had to downvote it. I stopped watching Maher's show a long time ago. He's a partisan, hypocritical hack.
It's pretty funny watching Maher try to get any traction on Assange. How about you don't endorse Trump OR Hillary because both of them are shit? Groundbreaking, I know.
Does that mean none of them will get picked for President? No. You have to choose, even if you don´t like the choice. The lesser evil is not a concession, it`s making a tough decision and that`s part of particinating in politics. Saying both are bad and doing nothing does not mean you did the right thing
Settling for a "tough decision" because these politicians have infinite amounts of power and money? That's an interesting position. Anyways, endorsement and the act of voting when it comes time are two completely different things, lets make that clear. If you are saying voting is inherently good while simultaneously entertaining the idea that both of these people are evil and one will get into power regardless, isn't there a real problem going on?
Austin James Weimer Ok, full disclosure: not american, venezuelan. I`ve had to vote between two shit sandwiches my entire life and I have no regrets. On one hand you have a regular shit polititian and on the other a modern day dictator. The choice may not be so clear for you right now, but doing nothing is worse I believe. I´m saying yes, there`s a problem, and it´s sad you got to this point, but now you have to face the music because you can´t deny you´re in the position you are. Voting doesn´t mean you are endorsing, as you say, but abstaining or voting for a third party you well know is not going to win is not making a real decision, and in this particular election, it´s very important people speak up. I`d vote for Hillary. Not because I believe in her but because I think her damage would be limited to the regular politic dishonesty. I believe Trump can damage the US institutions, worsen the internal affairs a great deal and it`s relations with other countries. But that´s because I see a lot of Chavez in him. You have total liberty of deciding but doing nothing seems smug to me, because it´s critique without taking any responsibility.
It's interesting to me you would go to such lengths to describe this as you did. Nominally because my original comment did only cover endorsement, and I never outright said or implied I wouldn't be voting at all. Moreover, I still do not understanding your position on voting. Can you explain to me how voting is an inherently good thing while concurrently supporting the idea that one of two bad candidates will come into power anyways? In that case it doesn't seem terribly "important people speak up". "Total liberty of deciding" is quite the dishonest sentence. If this were really the case and enough people did speak up, we wouldn't be in this position to begin with. If anything, not voting for someone who you don't agree with would rid you of responsibility for electing a horrible person into power, right?This is assuming both parties are bad in some way. The argument really sounds like "well, you are dammed if you do or dammed if you don't, so may as well play along because [insert moral platitude about voting]."
+Stephen Walker Assange did a recent interview in which it seemed clear he'd at least looked into Trump's investment efforts in Russia. Trump has apparently made an effort in that regard, with no discernable success... and of course I'm paraphrasing here. On the other hand, Clinton's ties to Russia are not so clear in terms of uranium sales....
Bill, you are talking to a man that has been holed up in a building for a damn long time. He has skin in the game, much more than you ever will. To write him off as "you are in a much better state of mind than the last time i talked to you" is some straight up bullshit. I know you love Hillary now but you are turning into everything I hate about politics.
He knows it he just toeing the company line. good that you see it.
YES!!! Couldn't have said it better.
best comment on here brother.
explain it to me then
Well said. He's shown that he's a slime ball with the rest of the media. People like him would rather defend corruption with more disinformation for their own ego and pride than to admit when their "side" fucks up. I'm done with him...
Yeah, you tell him, Bill. It's your right as a media puppet to defend political corruption.
☝
lol
yeah it's only fun when the guy releasing the information is doing it to people you don't like. when it's your ox being gored then it's wrong wrong wrong
ROFL ! -and being a media muppet also pays well enough to hand out million dollar checks!
Boblobblaw88 Selling out your principles can be quite profitable, surprisingly enough.
This isn't about partisanship, just because you hate Trump, it doesn't mean you try to hide or gloss over the shit that Hilary or the DMC does.
Says the angry white Christian guy claiming he's not at all politically partisan but using "Bob Jones" as his YT tag, give me a break...nothing politically partisan there, lol
DWS got fired for god's sake. No one has glossed anything over. There simply wasn't much there to begin with.
Well said sir!
could it also be the other way around you hate Hillery. there is always the ones who try and justify all they shit that comes out of that pie holes mouth..
+Amuro R Aww Amuro, facts are no fun! :-p
This man is a hero-show some respect Maher. Assange will be remembered in 50 years, you will not.
bill only shows respect when netanyahu comes to his show. watch the episode.
You're wrong , Maher will be remembered in 50 years , by being an actor who gave a war criminal a million dollars and later backed that war criminal's SOS who is also a war criminal .
Hahahahaha
So Bill's point is that the truth doesn't matter so long as Trump looses.
Anyone have a problem with that?
Nope.
Nope
Nope. The kind of blind idealism that suggests another option is really very surprising.
No
nope
Assange, Snowden, Manning. True heroes of our time.
Bullshit. Heroes don't run. Heroes don't hide.
Heroes do all they can when they can. Being assassinated and dumped in a river only to be forgotten about days and weeks later doesn't help them or us.
+Don Stubbs Heroes can't do what they do if they are dead or imprisoned.
+Don Stubbs the fuck are you talking about? this ain't the movies bro, you can't fight the US government. what else would he do except go to jail as everyone watches and excepts it? Nah run dude, run.
Snowden and Manning are pure pieces of shit that both deserve a bullet.
They, along with Julian Assange, are only heroes to the kleptocratic Russian dictatorship.
That leaking globe is so fucking distracting
Right!?
I know right!
That's what she said.
I actually like it.
Fantastic job Bill, I'm totally not disappointed at all with this wonderfully unbiased coverage.
Just looked like Bill brought him on to shame him on damage he has done to the DNC-> Shillary. Every time Assange would make a good point in response, Bill would just change the subject or move onto the next talking point.
It is pretty sad and pathetic how people like Maher supported Shillary from the very beginning when we could have had a fairly won presidency with Bernie. His policies benefited the people and polled far better than Hillary against Trump.
Grandma Maher has the nerve to suggest to Bernie to run a 2nd time as well.
Bill supported Bernie. And he moved on because this was an interview. He had a list of questions to get through.
charlidog2 No, he did not. 3 questions maybe for a 10 min interview? Usually shows like this have a longer list in the event more content is needed.
It's almost as if he didn't want to make this about Wikileaks damaging the DNC/Hilary's credibility further....
He didn't expose rnc heaven forbid, apparently corruption only appears on the right.
+Gi E watch previous shows he was all for Bernie. When he clearly lost the nomination he endorsed Hillary. Anybody but Trump is pretty much his motto.
Gi E You are inconsistent. Why would Bill be against Bernie, yet want him to run again. Bernie is a rock star, Bill is one of his fans.
You have no credibility.
Bill should be ashamed of himself
Agreed. We're here for the hero, not the shill. Bill sold out, long ago, but this is simply disgraceful.
I heard Bill did, indeed, donate to Shillary. Is he denying the donation or just the amount? Also, Bernie was asked more than once about his religious views, so he's wrong, again.
+Jennifer Lynn This! I like Bill on a lot of things but him supporting corruption fucked his persona for me.
...
Why? He brought an arrogant asshole on and let him show himself to be an arrogant asshole.
you're ridiculing transparency... i used to be a big fan but this is ridiculous.
He's becoming more of a closed-minded tool every year when it comes to politics.
They are not playing the same field but they are gracious enough to disagree with civility. Bill gave a few good punches as it is his style and Assange landed a few good ones. But they parted on a common understanding.
Look who owns HBO, you have your answer.
Assange should have said "by being non-partisan, Bill, I've proven that I can be trusted, but when you donated that money to Obama, you've proven that, at least in this election, you can't."
Also Bill, just because you have something personal against Trump doesn't mean Wikileaks has to hack him. People aren't dead over Trump's taxes, but the same can't be said for Hillary's e-mails.
+Aequitas Am I wrong in that W.L. does not "hack" but "publishes"?
The best line I thought was "we're working on it". re.Trumps tax return.
Should I dislike because of Maher? Or like because of Assange?
I disliked because of Maher. Assange is a fucking hero.
Disappointed with Bill here
disappointed doesn't begin to describe it. he got raped.
I like him as a comedian, but he is terrible at hiding his biases. He just brushes everyone off who has a different view from his, which I find rather hypocritical that he mocks people about safe spaces.
Also, as much as I think Trump is a dumpster fire who should never hold office, I think Bill is still pissed about Trump trying to sue him.
Hillary is fit? She is an indicted felon ...she only wants to enrich her family. She is a crook.
I love Bill but he doesn't have a leg to stand on with this one - god bless america - the lone survivor marcus latrell is backing trump and so am i - and we love latinos and muslim american heros like mohammad ali and the kahns son. A peoples history of the united states by howard zinn - uses the clintons to demonstrate how they all sell out - 100% - takes a very strong person to stand up - please vote trump 2016 - stand up for your country - we do not want to be ruined like sweden
She was never indicted, stop committing libel.
"Obviously russia did it"
"Why don't you hack Trump?"
"And we also know that you don't like Clintron at all"
The Audience clapped for this...they fucking clapped for this bullshit.
His audience are mostly LA maggots that quickly become flies and are attracted to shit. They are a group-think audience formed in an echo-chamber and listen to a man who I used to be a huge fan of but espouses Dunning-Kruger effect.
Yes! Just like the press clapped for Clinton yesterday after her half ass press conference. (The first in almost a year).
Why are unbiased press clapping?
1) All evidence points to Russia, experts agree on this
2) No one has targeted or released information on the RNC or Trump
3) Assange has admitted to having a personal vendetta against Clinton.
He is a two-faced little git who complains that Clinton would be bad for free speech, but doesn't care that Trump wants to make it easier to sue media that he doesn't like.
+Brian Rosnick be careful who you call a LA maggot , there is a huge progressive population here the maggots live in the south ..
Steve L "Libtards" oh how edgy, there are conservatives dumber than this audience.
I am definitely done with Bill Maher. He has totally discredited himself. Bye.
Bye ✌🏼️
He had credit?
lol WHAT DOOR?..you demtards dont have a hovel to call "home" anymore..the dnc shit ship is sinking fast and Trump is riding the current all the way to the white house..sucks to be you ;P
How? Just because he called Assange out on his bullshit and Assange didn't even know how to respond, Bill is discredited? It wasn't a "plot," and Assange fucking knows it. It was a discussion that didn't go anywhere. The man obviously has an ax to grind. He doesn't like Clinton and has made it pretty clear how vindictive he is. It's also clear he doesn't like Snowden, and might even resent him. He takes everything too personal, and people who take things personal have motivations for the things they want to do.
go fuck yourself
bill Maher is a gatekeeper of the democrats.he has to stick to the script. bill learned it pays to politically correct, or they will take your show.
Dont worry. He will backpedal next show just to preserve his viewership. He is that type of whore. He is like Glen Beck only FAR more intelligent and skilled at subversion.
+runelord37 that's a very accurate view.
+runelord37 lmao
2016 it was the libertarians with Ron Paul that screwed by the RNC now it's Bernie and the progressives. You know how you stop this? Libertarians and progressives unite. a public truce. How bout Jill Stein and a libertarian candidate run TOGETHER ON THE TICKET. up to 80 seats are up for election once the corporate sellouts are utterly destroyed then we can tango. But all long either the democrats or Republicans are in power NOBODY IS FREE OR SAFE
+mdsaxc02 Sounds like the intro to "The Odd Couple". Who would seriously vote for a oxymoron party? The two philosophies are 180° apart... A big government Libertarian? A hands off Progressive?
Julian Assange rocked this interview
Mahers half-hearted, worrisome laugh when Assange springs a behind closed doors donation to Clinton by the former equals priceless.
Such a shame to see you crumple every shred of credibility you once had and flush it down the toilet. What sort of intellectual argues against having more information?
the kind with a personal grudge against one of the candidates.
Now I know that sounds bitter, but trust me when I say that it is but it gets worse.
+Tee Vee That it came from a Russian operative is pure speculation. You do realize this was "leaked" information and not "hacked" information right? You do know the difference between the two. Assange has never given sources but in this case, has eluded to the fact that the information may have been"leaked" from someone inside. So please stop perpetuating the propaganda your news media, the same organizations that got their matching orders from the DNC, has been spreading with zero evidence to back.
Assange apparently has made an exception to not commenting on sources and now has clarified that the source is not Russia.
The big picture!!! You want Trump to be president? Do you even care about the well being of this planet?
+Tony Vega When you purchase a used automobile, you likely want to know that the maintenance has been done, that the tyres are in good shape... you want to know what you're getting before going in debt. So why wouldn't you want to know what you're getting with a candidate? Wouldn't your want to know if that person would do anything to win? Wouldn't that tell you a great deal about the character of that person, that they would subvert the democratic process of necessary?
Transparency is the right thing, always. If she's still elected after truly getting to know her, then so be it. Then you can vote with a little less delusion.
All that aside, i will say this... I have to question anyone who believes the world might be more safe with a hawkish interventionist in command, especially considering all the shite with NATO and Russia going on at this very moment. Putin has no love for Hillary and she's made her feelings for him very clear. She also has a track record for neoliberal expansion efforts.
One of the things I hate about Maher is that he can NEVER have an intelligent argument. The moment he argues with someone that has a point he always deflects with a snarky comment and wants to move on. For example, here, Julian Assange mentions that the DNC discussed ways to use Bernie's beliefs against him. Assange mentioned this ONCE, and immediately Maher says, "You've worn me down with this issue." (See 6:55).
Up next, I hope Assange confronts the other shills, John Oliver and Trevor Noah, who, despite having such great corruption info on Hillary refuse to discuss it (they love to talk about the size of Trump hands though). Champions of the people? Fighting corruption? Not when it really counts. They are bought. Fuck 'em.
I'm sure just about everybody would throw Hillary under the bus at this point, but most are rightfully scared of the orange moronic blob known as Trump.
***** OMG, get real. You need a dose of reality and fast, as does the OP. It's fine speaking truth to power and having hopes for a viable change candidate such as Bernie, I know I voted for him, but he lost. Even he now admits that the best way to further his ideas is through Hillary. It might sicken me and you to an even greater extent but it's the situation we are in. Deal with it.
But your main complaint is with trying to buck the entire structure of biological life as we know it. So get real; you might think people sucking up to people with power and money is digusting and wrong, but what's the alternative? Aligning yourself with hippies in a commune that can't even keep the insects out of their yurts? It's simply a choice between Hilliary, a typical status quo candidate that has a conscious and will try to help the down trodden where she can while still aligning with established power brokers....or Trump, a candidate that will work up the masses while intending to take a giant shit on them and everyone else that doesn't have 500 million plus dollars.
***** I did vote for Bernie. And I do believe in change and a process aided by Assange's "lights on, cockroaches out" policy. I hope you understand the reference.
But to clamor on and on that Hillary is the coming of the apocalypse or to suggest she's so corrupt why even vote for her, is pure lunacy. She's an establishment candidate that slipped by in a year begging for change. So be it. We'll have to hope she's better than Trump. And we know she is! Her work on universal health care and the children's defense fund speaks volumes.
Is she corrupt...yes, yes she is. But she comes from a time when not being a bit corrupt gets you a job at Mc Donalds. I'd rather have her being a two-face jerk holding office and occasionally fighting for noble causes than for her to be a pillar of honesty and virtue holding a hostess job at buffalo wild wings.
maybe someday corruption won't be tolerated. But right now the name of the game is to play ball and win battles where you can.
Edward Turner Uh, no. I'm a sad reductionist that realizes you can't buck 3.5 billion years of biological evolution due to political whims that give you warm fuzzies at night.
Sometimes dramatic and sudden change occurs where we can all cheer. But usually it's a long hard battle for extending and preserving freedom and rights to the less fortunate.
I could never be a right wing nut. They deny reality, that's a deal breaker for me.
They won't admit climate change is real. And they refuse to admit that evolution is a rigorously tested and observable theory. They also sell economic lies and myths that are obvious in their intention. They seek to keep trust fund kids from lifting a finger.
So get used to me self identifying as a liberal and a democrat. Is that ok, friendo?
Or because I'm not a pie in the sky hippie from a commune are you ready to dismiss me?
I remember Oscar Wilde, he was a witty gay chap not a long winded blow hard. What happened?
"When are you gonna hack Trump's emails?" is one of the most hack questions I have heard asked of Julian Assange.
Bill's a fucking moron. WikiLeaks are NOT hackers. All they do is publish hacked information that's given to them. They are simply editors and publishers.
Sm Connors He had a chance to ask great questions to a very influential person, and that is what he gave us. But you knew that was what it was going to be.
+Morgan Montz Bill is just another dem party slut. He is usually decent at asking pointed questions, but clearly he does not want to hear the truth on Hillary.
It is actually a relevant question considering that's who Assange is aiding by proxy by only targeting Democrats.
@ChrisBryanTisSkinny: Please cite what they've released on the RNC and Donald Trump?
As far as I'm aware there is literally nothing.
Snowden - Chaotic Good
Wiki - Chaotic Neutral
Tvtropes
Snowden- Once a cog, then a rebel, now a repenting rebel.
Assange - Always a Rebel
Assange himself said "Both the DNC and RNC security is weak". Why did he decide to release this info before the convention?? When Assange has a personal grudge with Clinton he is biased. He is not neutral by any stretch of the imagination.
They leaked it cause it is important info for those sheep who are choosing to vote.
They should be extra focus to DNC corrupting the internal democratic process like this.
Can't believe Maher is on the Clinton bandwagon like that . I guess I'm done with Maher since he sold his soul
Boohoo he don't like who I like so I'm outta here
Lmao fuckin child ass shit
+Delta Murder
LOL coming from the guy who's responded to every comment here. Christ, you're buttblasted.
I'm with you Maher just rolled over. I wonder who bought his soul...
+Shlomo von Shekelberg I work graveyard and was up for a long night, and what's wrong with commenting is this not a comment section. Is there a limit? Did I miss the sign some where?
I would not say that he is so much on the Clinton bandwagon as he finds Trump to be a dangerous person. Since there is no chance that the other candidates will win, then, yes, he see Clinton as a way to prevent a Trump presidency.
Julian, you are truly wonderful!!
Bill Maher, I would have enjoyed this more if you weren't actually in the interview asking super retarded questions, and being such a dick-head.
The truth is a good thing bill
Maher is shamefully biased...so very disappointing!
+xcsheehan Objectively is being critical of ALL power structures, not just the ones you don't agree with. Subverting the democratic process should have EVERY person angry.
There is a difference he is a liberal progressive political comedian and commentator not a unbiased journalist. In addition journalistic unbias isn't the same as giving both sides no matter how wrong one side is. It is giving the truth
Totally agree
+SCOTTYPization I don't see him being any different from your news media "commentators"... I use that term because they only pretend to be journalists. Difference might be that he injects a bit of "humor" here and there. He IS part of the spin machine though.... make no mistake about it.
I don't think he's ever claimed to be "Fair and balanced"...
The people clapping and supporting the idea that we shouldn't look into wrongdoings of Hillary Clinton just because she's running against Donald Trump really rub me the wrong way.
i have so much respect for julian assange
Thanks for putting out the truth and this is coming from someone that despise Trump
we have to accept the bad with the good because the American people have a right to know
Julian, you are my Hero!!!
Thank you Assange for showing maher for what he is
Assange has paid a big price for keeping us informed. He is effectively in jail.
Really disappointed in Bill.
Bill's reaction was the same as the reaction of America to Bradley Manning or Edward Snowden: blaming the person who uncovered corruption instead of blaming the person committing the corruption.
Well done Bill. Fine example of a tool you've made yourself out to be.
People in this world do not appreciate Julian Assangs sacrifice. He is doing a great service to this world by exposing corruption but he get discredited in the name of national security. This man has given up all all his freedom and living in that embassy for years. People need to gather up to protect people like him.
Bill Maher, John Oliver, Noah Trevor... I stopped watching their shows when they began obessessing over Trump and started licking the DNC boots.
Funny they mite say you have your mouth wide open for trump. Lol
Not really. Trump ain't my type.
Bill reminds me of religious people... blinded by faith :/
Liberalism is faith based and serves the devil.
You're a genius, hail Satan!
which is ironic since he makes fun of religious people all the time
!) That isn't irony. 2) Claudio's comment was meant to reference Maher's anti-theistic proclivities ... you genius.
Bill is mad that his criminal candidate took a hit because of Assange.
Holly crap Bill! Great show. Thank you Julian I was wondering when you were going to get to that.
Assange gets his revenge, we get armageddon
Hillary is more of a hawk than Trump. It's why the neocons back her. They're both horrible...I'm voting morally for Dr. Jill Stein...
Jill Stain got a black extremist who hates white people as her VP. She is a dimwit to choose him as her VP.
This is true!
President Drumph = Everyone's Armageddon
President Pantsuit = Every other country's armageddon
Liberals resorting to extreme hypotheticals to attack Trump, the death throes of your fantastic tantrum are upon you!
We live in the real world where getting the country ruined by orange psycho Russia puppet is the most dangerous threat of our lives, and is not a dumbtard like u who thinks a 3rd party has a chance! Hillary is a qualified strong candidate we with brains trust!
God gave us this man to save us from having Hillary as President
This was sad to watch Maher. Just sad.
Thank you... I am so thankful
Every woman and black person voting for Hillary Clinton or any democrat needs to learn about history. Republicans gave women and blacks the right to vote. The Democrats voted against both.
women got the vote in the US under Woodrow Wilson. Democratic party
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woodrow_Wilson
The Voting Rights Act was voted in under LBJ. Democratic party
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lyndon_B._Johnson#Voting_Rights_Act
the truth is better
Robert Ley When the House of Representatives passed the 19th Amendment in May 1919 it did so by 304 votes to 89, with Democrats only 104 to 70 in favour but Republicans 200 to 19. In the Senate, Democrats were in favour only by 20 to 17 but the GOP voted for it by 36 to 8.
That's right, the Republican party gave women the right to vote.
In regards to the 15th amendment the vote in the House was 144 to 44, with 35 not voting. The House vote was almost entirely along party lines, with no Democrats supporting the bill and only 3 Republicans voting against it, some because they thought the amendment did not go far enough in its protections.
Democrats did not feel black people should ever be allowed to vote.
During that time the GOP was actually the liberal party, running on platforms like Theodore Roosevelt's which focused on breaking up big business and protecting the environment. The 20th century saw a complete swap of ideology between the two parties that culminated in the signing of the Civil Rights act by LBJ which saw an eventual response by the "Neo-Conservative" movement which was spearheaded by Ronald Reagan, one of the two most famous republicans in American History. This movement was based on concepts like a reversal of Roe v Wade, destruction of Affirmative Action, nativist immigration policy, prayer in school, and anti-LGBT rhetoric. The GOP has not been the party of minorities for decades, as anyone who has actually learned their history will tell you.
that party you are referring to is dead and buried. things change, time moves on. time to find a different "thing" to say, tim. don't reply to this btw, I won't be back.
This almost makes me want to vote for the one known by the kids in their teens and twenties as "literally Hitler!".
I rather like disagreeing with Maher. I don't really want to watch a show where I agree 100% of the time or 0% of the time for that matter. Complain all you want when Bill gets it wrong but it's why I enjoy the show's discourse more than any others.
The "discourse" you are referring to is spinning the news cycle into black and white themes that "Republicans are stupid and evil" and "Democrats care for the poor, they may ties with special interests but that's acceptable as long as they don't fuck the poor", except they ARE fucking over people. Save your bullshit for David Brock.
BABA LSD Let me have my opinions you tyrant.
shmaveyea
say hi to David Brock from me
BABA LSD Who even is that?
Bill is right on.
Hey you like/hate Assange or Mayer. WHO CARES. Wikileaks has continued to prove massive amounts of corruption in the world. THAT is where your anger should be!
I can't stop staring at the dripping. its got a hold of me
I'm ok with the leaks but why the info was not leaked while Bernie still had a chance?
It was leaked before the convention, but took a long time to verifty the 10K email and format them online.
That is a good point, but he mentioned releasing at a time where the most public attention was surrounding it so it would be harder to sweep under the rug and easier to spread. It does stink for Bernie though, and for his voters.
Because hacking government email servers is not as easy as you may think.
A great Australian hero.
Maher and Assange look like they could be brothers, don't they? hahaha
#FREEJULIANASSANGE
isn't that illegal campaign contribution? didn't dinesh d'souzuo go to jail for something similar but less in severity?
i understand now, thanks. Ye bill was stunned and definitely tried to play it off.
Small note: Dinesh says he gave the max of like 2,500-2,700. and asked three friends to do the same and he would then repay the friends the funds. thus giving his "life long friend" from college 10k. This does violate law. Lets not forget that insider trading is legal for lawmakers! (link) -->> www.newsmax.com/InsideCover/pelosi-stock-insider-60minutes/2011/11/13/id/417848/
+Android Robot *fucking a white male
dinesh is a birther. he belongs in jail. no one that stupid and petty should be walking the streets.
I am truly entertained by this real time show. Thanks for the RUclips clips!
Awww Bill's butthurt they made Hillary look bad again.
President TRUMP TRUMP TRUMP!
NO NO NO NO
Drop. Today. Now.
+Bigbadd Woofe Bernie's gonna win !!!
Maher is a pathetic example of an establishment stooge serving his Queen of deceit and lies.
Assange, you are one of the few last heroes in this age of degeneration.
I want people, as adults, to learn the difference between facts and opinion... and belief.
Interesting these comments in light of what we know now.
This cyber terrorist needs to be brought to justice.
who Bill Maher because a whistle blower of Julian's caliber is a true hero.
Cyber terrorist? Ok so publishing "leaked" information is now terrorism. This blanket is getting larger by the second...
The funny thing is, you're either naive or ignorant. Likely ignorant to the fact that you're part of the problem. Nothing will happen to Assange and they have 415,000 more emails, both from the DNC and Clinton Initiative. Most of the initial emails were to strike at the corruption of the DNC, Debbie Wasserman Schultz and a few others. Once resigned or were fired, now the attention is on Hillary. All of the damaging evidence will be seen likely in spurts over the next 100 days.
This insanity from the left needs to be destroyed. This is coming from a Washington DC native who used to be a Liberal leaning Independent, now a good portion of the liberals in the country have gone off the deep end. Far worse and more embarrassing than the Tea Party.
My advice is have a seat and watch the show, because if Hillary makes it into the white house, that's it. the scales are fully tipped and our country now has a one party system. A liberal North Korea where voting occurs but no longer matters.
I assure you, if that occurs, you'll have an armed insurrection, not just the heavily armed half of the country, but most of the military as well. We're beyond pissed, but anyone who knows any service members knows this by now.
Brian Rosnick
Americans... Since when did corporatist Democrats like Hillary become "liberal"? You have corporate control in your country already, while they polarize you into accepting "liberal" or "conservative" labels. Both want more government. Both want less freedom for the citizens and more freedom for its true constituents -the bankers, big pharma, insurance and military contractors. All the while they get you folks to fight over which bathrooms the transgender folks might be using.
They are already gearing up for resistance, hence the militarization of your police. They're doing it in my country as well, and Germany is well on it's way to martial law. All very well orchestrated I can assure you.
Could Trump change things? Doubtful. We're already seeing the plan unfold with NATO, Russia, false flags to drum up fear of 'terrorism', etc..
Corruption needs to be brought to justice.
LOL Maher got caught.
A marvelous video; perfect vignette into state of America today. A marvelously courageous individual and modern Isaac Newton is interviewed and the questions are designed to malign. Bill Maher is the democratic establishment.
Am i the only one whos staring at the globe the whole time, OCDly watching the drops fall thru the hole waiting for a drop from the far right.
enough of all this distraction already.. tell us how they put the caramel in the caramilk bar! The people demand to know!
We don't want Trump to be president so lets just ignore all the horrible shit Hillary does. -Bill Maher
Thank you Julian!
Look at all this salty princesses in the comment section insulting Assange and stuff just because he leaked stuff from the DNC. If he had leaked Trump's tax returns they would be clapping and praising him. Hypocrisy at its best. Maher keeps disappointing more and more every show.
The red herring argument and ad hominem in full effect. Bill seems to love Hillary more than any principles of justice. Its so odd to see that level of devotion.
Great interview. On one side primitive and nasty democratic party propagator and on other, the nice guy who sacrifices his life showing all evil of the same party. Bill Maher successfully managed to show his own stupidity and idiotism. Bravo Julian.
thank you Julian
Bill Maher, liar liar pants on fire
Question, why does this guy do these things? I understand that we should fight corruption but I am not if this is the way to do it.
Release factual evidence isn't not the right way to fight corruption? So then what is?
Shut up
Travis, when you reach 7th grade it will start to become clearer.
Releasing donors' credit card information is not the way to do it... that's against the law.
In the USA? Across the entire planet? Remember, Wikileaks isn't in the USA. It's in Sweden with its servers located in various European countries.
Do they still employ ringmasters who instruct these degenerate audiences to clap and whoop like seals?
Assange, shine on you crazy diamond
Maher is so badly informed it hurts
I'm early let's start a war
there are only two genders
well you either have a penis or a vagina...unless someone somewhere just grew a third unknown genital I think that's pretty much right.
FAIL
To play devil's advocate: There are two sexes (male and female). But gender can have multiple definitions. It is often synonymous with one's sex (as you used it), but in the realm of the social sciences it can also mean sexual identity, of which there are potentially many, depending on the culture and how it recognizes these. So I guess it's all semantics.
+Sooduhnim that's not playing the devil's advocate, that's explaining the truth to a bunch of brainless five years old still giggling at the word "boobies"
except for those hermaphrodites right? I'm sure you jeked off to a few correct? You do have the internet after all.
I'd hide this video Bill, Assange wrecked you pretty badly.
Julian Assange hero real hero.
Bill maher is pathetic. They atheist shamed Bernie and he didn't say a word. Time Warner have got him by the balls
is it me or does Julian Assange look like Bill Mahers little brother
he does-from another mother
Maybe that's why he said I'm w/ ya brother, in the end. ha
No, they all just look alike.
people r naive.....criticizing bill....bill is real man ...... he gave chance to speak Assange in his show......when other news channel didnt ..... he also gave one of bernie sander supporter as a guest in his every show ...when other news media barely showed bernie sander's member.... he want his viewer get smart... ofcourse he support hillary afterall he is dem....
If Bill wants Assange to go free, he should speak up now.
What an absolute weasel Maher is.
I can't wait for the trump tax returns
a lot of people. and apparently you if you took time to read his comment and reply.
***** He can have ties with the Russian mob or even worst he could be a putin agent which will lead to WW3 or the end of humanity as we know it
*****
thanks for caring about taxes
Why? Jealous of his wealth?
You should hold your breath.
I like bill maher but I’m glad assange exposed his paying political party
A true hero. 🍸 The world needs more Assanges.
I would not be surprised in the least if wikileaks doesn't drop a few hundred of her deleted "Personal" emails around October. Hopefully ruining her career and putting her in prison to boot.
After this interview and Bill making it personal, you better fucking BELIEVE ASSANGE is going to fucking ream Clinton, thereby rendering Bill's million dollars so much toilet paper. I fucking love every second of it. Fuck Clinton and Bill. ASSANGE '16
Maher donated a million dollars to Obama, not Hillary Clinton.
So who is the William Maher from LA who donated the million? His second cousin once removed? Bill Maher would never ever lie about anything now would he?
moonlily1
BULLSHIT. LOL. Assange called him out. Watch the video more closely.
And even if he really didnt, THAT, people is why you keep it respectful in an interview with Julian Assange.
Bill confirmed $HILLBOT
Trump bots in full effect. Calling other people liars when their master could say something and then change his words the next day and calls it "sarcasm"
Not an argument
Exactly!
^
Thank the green mother for Julian Assange and Wikileaks. Rich people never have to be responsible for their actions.
Great interview, why so many dislikes? Hillary fans?
Nope. People who as of this video now hate Bill. AAHAHAHAHAHAH
+runelord37 Lol, yeah, I was conflicted whether to like it or not. I love Assange & he did great, but Bill Maher was so crazy transparent while trying to push his(the DNC's) agenda that I had to downvote it. I stopped watching Maher's show a long time ago. He's a partisan, hypocritical hack.
*****
Me too, and once upon a time when I was still trapped inside the left/right paradigm, I watched his show every week and loved him too.
Too much tv. This is a great interview. Assange has done a lot for us
I dislike Bill's videos now if he talks up HRC.
I have never liked Assange. His attitude about this stuff is just so childish and off. "It was good fun."
he's australian ,they have a sense of humour .get over it
I Like him. Might as well be considered a humanitarian and a symbol of freedom lol
Julian Assange should be in prison.
You just got served Billy boy!
It's pretty funny watching Maher try to get any traction on Assange. How about you don't endorse Trump OR Hillary because both of them are shit? Groundbreaking, I know.
Does that mean none of them will get picked for President? No. You have to choose, even if you don´t like the choice. The lesser evil is not a concession, it`s making a tough decision and that`s part of particinating in politics. Saying both are bad and doing nothing does not mean you did the right thing
Settling for a "tough decision" because these politicians have infinite amounts of power and money? That's an interesting position. Anyways, endorsement and the act of voting when it comes time are two completely different things, lets make that clear. If you are saying voting is inherently good while simultaneously entertaining the idea that both of these people are evil and one will get into power regardless, isn't there a real problem going on?
Austin James Weimer Ok, full disclosure: not american, venezuelan. I`ve had to vote between two shit sandwiches my entire life and I have no regrets. On one hand you have a regular shit polititian and on the other a modern day dictator. The choice may not be so clear for you right now, but doing nothing is worse I believe.
I´m saying yes, there`s a problem, and it´s sad you got to this point, but now you have to face the music because you can´t deny you´re in the position you are. Voting doesn´t mean you are endorsing, as you say, but abstaining or voting for a third party you well know is not going to win is not making a real decision, and in this particular election, it´s very important people speak up.
I`d vote for Hillary. Not because I believe in her but because I think her damage would be limited to the regular politic dishonesty. I believe Trump can damage the US institutions, worsen the internal affairs a great deal and it`s relations with other countries. But that´s because I see a lot of Chavez in him.
You have total liberty of deciding but doing nothing seems smug to me, because it´s critique without taking any responsibility.
It's interesting to me you would go to such lengths to describe this as you did. Nominally because my original comment did only cover endorsement, and I never outright said or implied I wouldn't be voting at all. Moreover, I still do not understanding your position on voting. Can you explain to me how voting is an inherently good thing while concurrently supporting the idea that one of two bad candidates will come into power anyways? In that case it doesn't seem terribly "important people speak up". "Total liberty of deciding" is quite the dishonest sentence. If this were really the case and enough people did speak up, we wouldn't be in this position to begin with. If anything, not voting for someone who you don't agree with would rid you of responsibility for electing a horrible person into power, right?This is assuming both parties are bad in some way.
The argument really sounds like "well, you are dammed if you do or dammed if you don't, so may as well play along because [insert moral platitude about voting]."
+Ricardo Morales this is why your country is shit
I liked Assange when he wasn't releasing stuff against Clinton!
Why did your opinion change? It isn't like she is anything other than a republican that tosses a bone to the left-wing periodically.
because it exposed your shit candidate
*****
Clinton will win
So you'll blindly accept Hilary Clinton's bullshit because you like her. typical.
TaelurAlexis
See you in November, she will be YOUR next president
Julian Assange is a full of him self, but it would be great if he can come up with Trump's tax returns.
How is he full of himself? He is just doing his job. I think people just aren't used to actual journalism.
Wiki leaks doesn't do the hacking, they get their info from actual hackers and whistle blowers
Crooked Hillary will never see the White House!
+Stephen Walker Assange did a recent interview in which it seemed clear he'd at least looked into Trump's investment efforts in Russia.
