But why bring Murray on? Maher continues to bring these Israel cucks on his show because he's one himself. It's nauseating. Bring someone on the show who is from Palestine, or someone from Al Jazeera, or a network that is not firmly in the pocket of Israel. THAT would make for an honest debate, but Bill is afraid.

When I saw Prince, The Time & Vanity 6 in 1983, I paid between $10-$15 dollars for Prince ticket. And I was on the 2nd row.

Now they pay $10K to see Taylor Swift; unbelievable.
The Hollywood Bowl used to offer UCLA students $2 rush tickets. I got to hear a lot of amazing artists, including the flutist Rampal (1976), for next to nothing.
I haven't been to a concert in over 20 years. When I saw INXS during their Kick Tour in 1988, the tickets were $17 or $18, and I had floor seats. I got a great view of Michael Hutchence and most of the band. In 1992, I saw U2's Zoo TV Tour at Arrowhead Stadium for $35 and I was kind of high in the rafters. In 1997, I saw U2's Pop Mart Tour for $60 and I was on the ground. I could barely see the band and the show was an utter disappointment. Years later, I heard their tickets were selling for as high as $200 and I said no thanks. I haven't been to a concert since. Besides, there's no one good enough to see that would make me want to part with my money these days.
Not really. It was just more of the same "Israel is great, Palestine sucks....anyone who supports Palestine is anti-Semitic, and Israel never does anything wrong....let's compare what Israel is doing to what Ukraine is doing...." nonsense. It's total garbage. I'd like to see Bill actually bring on someone who supports Palestine and hear their argument for why they're protesting Israel, instead of bringing on all these stooges who chalk it all up to anti-Semitism, ignorance, and being in college.... that would make for a good show.
The "steel balls" are called Newton's Cradle - I looked it up because it's so spot on. One "far-side" acts - the other "far-side" reacts and everybody else takes a beating and gets nowhere!
Same! It's so much easier just to buy the cd and enjoy listening and dancing along to the music at home. Not to mention more economical. Though, I hardly ever buy cds anymore either.
Remember that Taylor Swift fans are predominantly teenage/early 20s girls, so every ticket sold to one of them results in a second ticket sold to a parent who's the 'security escort' for the evening. Great way to double your ticket sales, Ms. Swift.
This is actually much better than the main show. The discussion about statues was pretty nuanced by today’s standards. It is possible to distinguish between a statue put up in another era and one put up more recently to represent very bad ideas. Concretely, there is a difference between a monument to someone like “Stonewall” Jackson put up in 1919 v. one put up in the 1860s, because obviously the person putting up the statue in 1919 is making a very specific point.
not sure ANY statues if stonewall were put up in the 1860s. i can't say for sure, i know most of the confederate statues were put up a long long time after the war ended. so idk how many put up contemperaneously have survived to be an issue. in any case, the initial question was about school names, and these schools were certainly built long after the civil war, had their names changed from confederate heroes, and now have had those confederate heroes names put back on. at this point that's pure spite, and if you wanna consider it a reaction to grievance culture, ok, but it's a petty, spiteful, racist reaction.

You know Bill Maher has been a lot of things over the years but he's always stuck to his guns and his convictions even if you disagree with him at points. He's not trying to fuck with you. Kudos to him. I like this phase of Bill Maher. I think he is the number 1 unbiased news outlet at this point.
He is, has been and always will be a limousine liberal. Many people tend to seek stability as they age and that isn't found in left-wing ideology. For as long as I've watched him, he has never seemed to had an "ah ha" moment. He is an unapologetic partisan.
@@timducote5713 I saw him one time ask why the Dems lie, that the rich do pay more taxes than us. The liberal person he asked did not have a good answer. LOL
Savannah, GA did a great job of "retain & explain". They did not tear down the Confederate statues, but they did add statues of Black civil rights leaders and monuments to historical Black locations. I think it's great because I enjoyed reading the history of both and it's important to highlight negative aspects as well.
Modern young people don't know (or care) anything about the original civil rights leaders or about confederate Civil War leaders. The iconoclasm against statues was nothing more than mob rage.

The guy from the NY Post was spreading propaganda, in reference to the protest on college campuses. A call for a ceasefire is not pro-hamas, or anti-Semitic, which is the disinformation that he was trying to spread.

@@javiersds8081 yes but he just posts interviews he does, it's not his own content. he did do a 10-episode history show and posted it, and he recently posted a documentary, but that's it in terms of original content. which is good in my opinion

They have done it once or twice. I remember they went for 45 minutes once on overtime. But the concept isn't to have more of a free discussion anymore. They used to chance the at.osphere a bit since it was 'the internet'. But there isn't a real difference between tv and the internet anymore.
I remember concerts where everyone paid the same $20 for an all day concert like the US Festival in 1983 with bands like Van Halen and Ozzy. I was able to see close to 100 live bands in my teens and 20s. I've been able to afford taking my adult daughters to only 4 concerts in the last decade.
Back in the mid-70's, I saw the Crusaders a few rows back from the stage, center aisle, tickets were $5 each. Also saw Frank Zappa at the same venue on blue collar wages. Now it's down payment and terms. Fuhgeddaboudit.
$20 concerts were a time when the artists made money selling their recordings. Streaming killed that revenue, so they have to make their money on tour.
Muray's take on Monument Avenue is typical low-grade bullshit from a celebrity opinion peddler. Monument Avenue was a private real-estate venture designed to capitalize on the post-reconstruction phenomenon of reasserting white power. He's a cunt for whining about no "monuments" on Monument Avenue.
@revtheory Douglas Murray's a buffoon. He embarrassed himself again. After he said his first words, all 3 others saw his racist point & denounced his words. He slivered back into his tiny box. He was smart enough to then revise his words, spinelessly.

I agree! I have family that live in Virginia a& they took me to see that area couple years ago. I don’t know every time I see relatively new statue of someone there’s always something really odd about it!🎾
Excellent show, excellent guests, and a bang on takedown of the herd mentality of the media on New Rules. One of the strongest episodes this year. The writers (and Bill) earned their paychecks this week.
And these statues were a scam too. They were cheapass statues that played on these bitter old racist fools hatred to make a buck. Same with the KKK. There was ONE clothing seller that made a huge amount of money selling these fools Klanwear. The haters got ripped off. Good.

There's a lot of value in being able to actually see a historical figure up close, as they had looked in full scale. I feel as if there's a humanity element here that should not be undermined.
Nobody is going to call that guy out on his bulls@@t, wage inequality and a declining middle class have nothing to do with envy or jealously. My Uncle worked as a postman with no college education and my Aunt worked part-time at a retail store. They had the money to buy a big house, own two cars and live a very good middle class life. Most of us want that life and we are not expecting to live like the rich, but we have not changed. The government and corporate greed have gotten worse. Nothing is enough for these people and wanting what the Silent Generation and Baby Boomers have is somehow unreasonable in their view.
If people who want those things would behave like their grandparents, they would be more likely to get that stuff. Even now in a different economy. I work with young people and their parents and I see it happen! For example, they can go back to the values that existed in those days… waiting a little longer to start their families (like maybe after high school?), taking available jobs and not acting like McDonald’s is beneath them? Fast food is paying $20 an hour in many parts of the country nowadays! Being willing to work the starter jobs and progressing their way up the ladder while getting a skill- just one example, Union pipefitters make $120k a year, with great benefits and pension! Many school districts offer welding classes, and kids can get trained and certified right out of high school! But this requires them to… What? Not be on drugs! Not be addicted to substances, games and porn! Be willing to get off their behinds and get out of their homes! Maybe have some work ethic! Maybe getting some religion might help! If you want what grandma and grandpa had, maybe you better find out what they were doing! Do you want to know who has what grandma and grandpa had? Immigrants! Yes, even the ones who are streaming across the border! And they are working darn hard for it. I meet immigrants all the time who have been here 10 years and are buying houses. After painting homes, working in yards, cleaning, farming, doing the grunt work lazy Americans don’t want to do. They are achieving the American dream. It is still out there. If you’re waiting for America to hand it to you, guess who’s going to end up paying for it? You. And guess what it’s going to look like? Just imagine your dream house. Not that.
Question. What if there was one. What if there was one, it had been standing for 30 years and....no one cared? No rallies under it. No pro-Hitler pamphleteering under it. No fist-fights under it. What if the community's lived-history with the statute was benign or banal? Would you get rid of it? Or would the fact that the statue stood for all those years while people DIDN'T make their neighbors' lives miserable be in some way a testament to how far people have come along, how they've progressed. A challenge overcome. Such that removing the statue eliminates the reminder of the progress made. Or, again, would it have to go because Hitler was evil?
Right. The man was losing the argument the second he made a relation to statues and people knowing history. I know history because I've been schooled and lived through some events. Not because I saw a statue. Statues are a nice way to commemorate someone for something they did, not to learn history.
Bill denigrates an interviewee who complains about the oppression of some group by saying "You go to UCLA, how are you oppressed?" Bill acts as if only oppressed persons are allowed to argue against oppression. Can only slaves argue against slavery?
I don't think I've ever seen Bill laugh as hard as he did when Murray talked about the statue of Arthur Ashe looking like he was beating a child😆 Bill hates him some rug rats
Zeppelin, 1977, LA Forum, second row loges, $9.95. Now its hundreds for bands I never heard of. I don't go to concerts anymore, even if I can afford it.
I have a friend that talks about his attendance at a Led Zep concert from that time/era, and how close he was to the stage (2nd row). ❤ watching his eyes go back to the memory. ⚘️
Of course, they teach history! I walked past Madison Park and they had a statue of William Seward. I didn't know who he was and looked him up to educate myself.
@@Johnny-rj6ouIf Seward had held your ancestors as slaves or had forced your ancestors onto a tribal reservation, I bet you would have a different view of his statue in a public park.
No idea who that bald dude is, but he's pretty insufferable. Thought he had Douglas with that question about Lenin and Marx statues, but as per usual, Douglas is miles ahead of people like this.
The other day my wife showed me some pictures from her family history. They were pictures of her grandfather and is African slaves. She wanted to come clean and let me know what was in her family history and she told me how ashamed she was of her family for doing this and she told me that this was a curse on her family and on her people. She told me that her family felt they were racially superior to these people they held as slaves and they felt justified in treating these people like chattel. My wife, just to let you know is a women’s rights activist from Ethiopia and these photos were from the 1950s. The slaves were Oromo and her family is Tigray. This has happened throughout human history across countless cultures. We need to remember and be aware of the sin of slavery. This is a crime that is still going on today. That said, we should not be celebrating and memorializing those whose main accomplishment in life was leading a rebellion with the express goal of maintaining slavery.
Statues are not how we “remember history”. We use libraries, public education and museums for that. Statues serve the purpose of veneration and glorification. Germany doesn’t have statues of Hitler, South Africa doesn’t have statues of Verwoerd.
That's because those people were ruthless dictators and it's bad faith to compare them to Confederate leaders whose actions were not nearly as bad, and whose history represents sentimental significance for many southerners. It's not all about "learning history". It's about acknowledging it and learning to cope with the past.
Bill saying everyone thought slavery was a good thing back then... Ignores that fact that the slaves themselves didn't think it was a good thing. How ignorant
Eh... not true. Bill has admitted to being wrong about something on more than one occasion. And I've often heard him make a statement that his guest immediately refuted, compelling Bill to retract or modify his position.
To anyone absorbing information from the likes of Douglas Murray and this show in general - there are no plinths remaining on Monument Avenue. It is true that they weren't taken down right away but they were removed well over a year ago and almost everyone in Richmond has moved the fuck on. The only people who are still but sore about this are members of the Daughters of the Confederacy and white nationalists. And amazingly, since the statues have been taken down, all the names of the generals and the president of the confederacy are still ensconced in the history books. Let's evolve past this need to worship other human beings.
True, so long as they still teach history straigh-up vs. the new re-write that places facts on back burner so as to appease a certain agenda and generally a negative undercurrent re: Founding Fathers.
In Ron Desantis's Florida, the history classes would just be more glorification of white ancestors who "built this country", and will mention some ethnic groups that got in the way of that.

Let’s rename all the schools and buildings named after Confederates with the names of Union Generals. I’d love to know there’s a General Sherman High School in Mississippi!
Better yet, let's name a school "The Battle of Vicksburg," so Mississippi doesn't forget the major battle they lost. They must learn and remember their history!
Superb panel, and Overtime needs to be extended. The book that was mentioned to Eric in the main show, was Sapiens : A Brief History of Humankind, by Yuval Noah Harari. Bill didn't give the author or much about it, but it's one of the finest books in that field. He was on the show back in October 2022, the last show that Quentin Tarantino was on.
Hello Fellow Humans, On the food subject. I got Bone Cancer and became permanently disabled in 2016. I was born in 1983 and I was really healthy. I am 6'1 and I was 180 pounds and 6% body fat. I worked out 5 days a week. I ate relatively healthy. So why on earth did I get bone cancer that made me permanently disabled? It has to be food or chemicals used to process food or something like that. Because my entire family lives in Northern California and we all have had cancer. My mom and aunt and grandfather did genetic testing that was extremely in depth. Nothing. So the environment is the only common factor. Something in our food like some pesticide or additive I bet is causing cancer because I know a few people who have had cancer. Young people should not be getting cancer.
That's so insightful Look into people who may have recovered Study that and be open to alt treatments if you can! Blessings and Recovery to you and your family🤍🤗

As mentioned, the confederate statues were erected well after the Civil War (correction). And the question was about naming schools. Should there be an Adolf Hitler public school? Pol Pot University?
The statues were put up years later. Even Robert E. Lee discouraged any statues commemorating the war or any of the Confederate officers including himself.

He is, has been and always will be a limousine liberal. Many people tend to seek stability as they age and that isn't found in left-wing ideology. For as long as I've watched him, he has never seemed to had an "ah ha" moment. He is an unapologetic partisan.

Douglas Murray is on point as those statutes represent how history can't repeat itself yet always does
Savannah, GA did a great job of "retain & explain". They did not tear down the Confederate statues, but they did add statues of Black civil rights leaders and monuments to historical Black locations. I think it's great because I enjoyed reading the history of both and it's important to highlight negative aspects as well.
Modern young people don't know (or care) anything about the original civil rights leaders or about confederate Civil War leaders. The iconoclasm against statues was nothing more than mob rage.

I remember concerts where everyone paid the same $20 for an all day concert like the US Festival in 1983 with bands like Van Halen and Ozzy. I was able to see close to 100 live bands in my teens and 20s. I've been able to afford taking my adult daughters to only 4 concerts in the last decade.
Back in the mid-70's, I saw the Crusaders a few rows back from the stage, center aisle, tickets were $5 each. Also saw Frank Zappa at the same venue on blue collar wages.
Now it's down payment and terms. Fuhgeddaboudit.
@@MarvinThiessen and a massive "service fee" for each ticket 🙄

$20? I walked into the 3rd day of the 1983 US Festival right before Bowie went on and saw him Scot-free. 😊
$20 concerts were a time when the artists made money selling their recordings. Streaming killed that revenue, so they have to make their money on tour.

Your friends, your neighbors, your family -- they were part of your State. The federal government was more like an abstraction. Further, if you believe (as many at the time did) that the federal government was a creation of the states via ratification - then it is easy to understand why a state announcing its secession wasn't an act of treason but merely an act of contract termination.

I spent one Saturday for two concerts at the Monterey Pop Festival. Saw several of the top bands on Earth. Paid a whopping 3.50 per show.
1967, my buddy Wally Heider was on stage saving his equipment from destruction by THE WHO.
Nobody is going to call that guy out on his bulls@@t, wage inequality and a declining middle class have nothing to do with envy or jealously. My Uncle worked as a postman with no college education and my Aunt worked part-time at a retail store. They had the money to buy a big house, own two cars and live a very good middle class life. Most of us want that life and we are not expecting to live like the rich, but we have not changed. The government and corporate greed have gotten worse. Nothing is enough for these people and wanting what the Silent Generation and Baby Boomers have is somehow unreasonable in their view.
If people who want those things would behave like their grandparents, they would be more likely to get that stuff. Even now in a different economy. I work with young people and their parents and I see it happen!
For example, they can go back to the values that existed in those days… waiting a little longer to start their families (like maybe after high school?), taking available jobs and not acting like McDonald’s is beneath them? Fast food is paying $20 an hour in many parts of the country nowadays! Being willing to work the starter jobs and progressing their way up the ladder while getting a skill- just one example, Union pipefitters make $120k a year, with great benefits and pension! Many school districts offer welding classes, and kids can get trained and certified right out of high school!
But this requires them to… What? Not be on drugs! Not be addicted to substances, games and porn! Be willing to get off their behinds and get out of their homes! Maybe have some work ethic! Maybe getting some religion might help! If you want what grandma and grandpa had, maybe you better find out what they were doing!
Do you want to know who has what grandma and grandpa had? Immigrants! Yes, even the ones who are streaming across the border! And they are working darn hard for it. I meet immigrants all the time who have been here 10 years and are buying houses. After painting homes, working in yards, cleaning, farming, doing the grunt work lazy Americans don’t want to do. They are achieving the American dream. It is still out there. If you’re waiting for America to hand it to you, guess who’s going to end up paying for it? You. And guess what it’s going to look like? Just imagine your dream house. Not that.
@@k.c.4423 That is out of touch Boomer thinking little buddy. You're allowing greedy corporations and politicians off the hook.
Germany knows its history very well and I can promise you there's not a single statue of Hitler in a town square or anywhere else.
Question. What if there was one. What if there was one, it had been standing for 30 years and....no one cared? No rallies under it. No pro-Hitler pamphleteering under it. No fist-fights under it. What if the community's lived-history with the statute was benign or banal? Would you get rid of it? Or would the fact that the statue stood for all those years while people DIDN'T make their neighbors' lives miserable be in some way a testament to how far people have come along, how they've progressed. A challenge overcome. Such that removing the statue eliminates the reminder of the progress made. Or, again, would it have to go because Hitler was evil?
Right. The man was losing the argument the second he made a relation to statues and people knowing history. I know history because I've been schooled and lived through some events. Not because I saw a statue. Statues are a nice way to commemorate someone for something they did, not to learn history.

Statues, memorials, commemorations and portraits are for people worthy of honor. They glorify. They don't teach history.
Of course, they teach history! I walked past Madison Park and they had a statue of William Seward. I didn't know who he was and looked him up to educate myself.

The other day my wife showed me some pictures from her family history. They were pictures of her grandfather and is African slaves. She wanted to come clean and let me know what was in her family history and she told me how ashamed she was of her family for doing this and she told me that this was a curse on her family and on her people. She told me that her family felt they were racially superior to these people they held as slaves and they felt justified in treating these people like chattel. My wife, just to let you know is a women’s rights activist from Ethiopia and these photos were from the 1950s. The slaves were Oromo and her family is Tigray. This has happened throughout human history across countless cultures. We need to remember and be aware of the sin of slavery. This is a crime that is still going on today. That said, we should not be celebrating and memorializing those whose main accomplishment in life was leading a rebellion with the express goal of maintaining slavery.
Excellent post.
What was the point?
It's still happening all over Africa
How about statues of Hitler?
Statues are not how we “remember history”. We use libraries, public education and museums for that. Statues serve the purpose of veneration and glorification. Germany doesn’t have statues of Hitler, South Africa doesn’t have statues of Verwoerd.
Lee is far from being Hitler. Slavery was legal in the US throughout the war. Lincoln was president of a slave nation.
That's because those people were ruthless dictators and it's bad faith to compare them to Confederate leaders whose actions were not nearly as bad, and whose history represents sentimental significance for many southerners. It's not all about "learning history". It's about acknowledging it and learning to cope with the past.
Our civil-war was brother against brother, not the same as your examples. Hitler's Mein Kampf is still being published, a best seller in Turkey.
"How will we know our history?" Um...books?
People don’t read books, let alone those books any more… and a bunch don’t know how to read…
These books are filtered through a left wing ideas
I agree. If those books are removed from schools that is a problem.

To anyone absorbing information from the likes of Douglas Murray and this show in general - there are no plinths remaining on Monument Avenue. It is true that they weren't taken down right away but they were removed well over a year ago and almost everyone in Richmond has moved the fuck on. The only people who are still but sore about this are members of the Daughters of the Confederacy and white nationalists. And amazingly, since the statues have been taken down, all the names of the generals and the president of the confederacy are still ensconced in the history books. Let's evolve past this need to worship other human beings.
❤ Douglas!!!
Bill is spot on with so many topics. 👍👍👍
How will people know history without status?
I guess if we still have history classes in schools they can learn it there
"Revisionist history"
True, so long as they still teach history straigh-up vs. the new re-write that places facts on back burner so as to appease a certain agenda and generally a negative undercurrent re: Founding Fathers.
In Ron Desantis's Florida, the history classes would just be more glorification of white ancestors who "built this country", and will mention some ethnic groups that got in the way of that.

Hello Fellow Humans,
On the food subject. I got Bone Cancer and became permanently disabled in 2016. I was born in 1983 and I was really healthy. I am 6'1 and I was 180 pounds and 6% body fat. I worked out 5 days a week. I ate relatively healthy. So why on earth did I get bone cancer that made me permanently disabled? It has to be food or chemicals used to process food or something like that. Because my entire family lives in Northern California and we all have had cancer. My mom and aunt and grandfather did genetic testing that was extremely in depth. Nothing. So the environment is the only common factor. Something in our food like some pesticide or additive I bet is causing cancer because I know a few people who have had cancer. Young people should not be getting cancer.
That's so insightful

It wasn't free drug centers Bill, it was a place to cleanly use dope. The problem is YOU DON'T REWARD BAD BEHAVIOUR!
Addiction isn't bad behavior, it is a disease that a certain % of every society "catches." It really depends on if you view treatment as "reward."
Who would ever think that helping an addict further their addiction would be a good thing?
In British Columbia we have seen people taking prescribed medication, some of which is dedicated as safe supply prescription drugs, and selling them to organized crime groups in exchange for more potent illicit drugs. The organized crime groups are then taking the prescription drugs and selling them inter-provincially across Canada. The safe sites have not worked.
When you incentivize bad behavior rather than combating it, you only ever end up with more bad behavior. This is how incentives work.
