Hey Bill. Could you make "Overtime" longer? Discussions taking place there, are equally, and sometimes even more informative than the show itself. Love your show. Cheers.
@@commonsensecraziness7595 nope, nice try. You do know what they say about assumptions and what they make you? Definitely applies here. Cry harder. Please? 🤣🤣🤣
I hope this experiment ends soon and swift. Why is he doing this? He seems deflated when he mentions it and offers no explanation. It's lame, Bill, cut all ties with CNN.
Definitely, i am 39 and i always felt like i was in the middle of some shift. Not just because of the internet and mobile phones (got my 1st one when i was 15 in 1998, a giant beeping brick with 1 line of display), but also because people were changing around me. As i was leaving school, it really felt like i was one of the last of an era, because now everything is digital and ... different. My elementary school had only 1 computer, running some pre-Windows 95 DOS on it, my highschool had more, but it was still early stages, and mostly primitive Windows 95 programs, that in itself is fine, things change. But when i was a kid, and addicted to playing GameBoy, i still had to keep it at home when going to school, because it was going to be a distraction. That has changed, and now everyone is having their phones in class. Teachers used to demand that you at least turn your sound off, and when you were distracted by your phone, the teacher would take it for that class, good luck trying that today.. Apparently, the old system didn't work, where in times of emergency, a parent would call up school and a receptionist/janitor would go up to the class and either pass on the message or take you out of class. Apparently, kids are too important and busy with private stuff, that they prioritize it over school. Yeah right, i remember school being boring, sure, you'll do anything for a distraction, but there's no more pushback on it from the schools, so it's just running rampant. Walking around and having conversations on your mobile phone used to be a show-off thing, "look at me being popular", but that has now become a lifestyle, and the tagline remained the same "look at me being popular", i think it is just damaging the overall etiquette, or i don't know, public respect or civilized manner of behaving when out in public. I mean, nowadays it's easier to even fake a conversation, put some Apple products in your ears and start talking. Social awkwardness is the new cool, and you're weird if you can have normal in-person conversations with people, or can stay focused on a topic for more than a minute. This used to be puberty stuff, but it's still going on. To me it became first known as the "Angst" of Gen X, but it might've also been a continuation of the Bomb threat for the Boomers, so i don't think that that has really gone away, but with each generation it shifts into these weird mental things. I mean, in the 90s, the kids that were kinda without identity used to be called "alto", and listened mostly to Korn, Limp Bizkit, Marilyn Manson etc., but now a lot of those kind of lost people are getting all kinds of weird surgeries... Somehow the identitycrisis became a physical thing, and i'm sure it is also a phase that will pass. People say that complaining about the youth goes back millennia, but i do think that things are getting worse over time. And sure, things go in cycles, we might be having reached _that_ part of the cycle, again. What also happens in history is when uneasy times keep lingering, it will lead to a climax at some point.. So, be careful when you're out picking historical cherries. Either way, where are the days where school was just school, and your parents accepted the judgement of the teachers (mostly)? School is boring and outdated, i agree, but it was the next best thing to get some discipline, aside from Unlce Sam. I was lucky to not have had the obligated conscription, it was abolished a few years before i turned 18. But, looking at people and kids today... i might not be fully against bringing back conscription again, only just to get some discipline into some people, when schools fail to do so. But yeah, then there's the problem of WHAT the kids are getting taught at schools.. Gee, gotta love humans!
Yes because we are only rewarding those kids at the the top with good education. This is CLASS WAR 101, to the richest go all the spoils. Maybe we can start by investing in our youth and our teachers by providing livable salaries especially in Red states where they typically have the worst ratings for education.
Planned crisis the rich don't want you educated they want you stupid so they can control you better. We have the Internet and global community yet non of these cabal people can name the Jews or rich people who control the world..IN 2023 THEY CANT EVEN NAME THEM
It's so fascinating to me that comedians are the ones bringing more non-partisan discourse and debate on subjects like this than mainstream media outlets. Granted, there's far too many times to count that Maher's guests only spat out partisan-editorialized opinion. This was a refreshing conversation to listen to that seemed less like a tribally motivated character argument and more of a conversation about the actual issues being asked about.
Then start with facts and not what side they are on... Which person has stated facts that you can look up and if they directed you to them. Fox news and the like use tribalism to push ideas that FEEL good to you but aren't truthful. I use them not because I'm a democratic but because FACTUALLY they aren't a news organization their most popular programs are opinion shows who when faced with law suits claim no reasonable person would believe them. This should not be the behavior of a news organization and this why fox news labels it self entertainment.
Bill can cover so many controversial and even critical issues in a good motivated responsible humorous manner to let us thinking and even reexamine the things happening so thankful to have this conversation program every Friday night feel hopeful about our country
Keep up the good work Mr. Maher. Now that it's uncommon, your common sense opinions, dialogue and humor are even more appreciated...at least by this viewer!
By common sense opinions, do you mean ignorant and uninformed? I agree .... Support Ukraine, or not, the US had been working for over a decades to bring war to that country ( because our best diplomats and generals have been warning against it for a decade, or more in some cases ) in order to weaken Russia. What kind of ally is America when we bring such destruction to a country like Ukraine? And what kind of government when they take over $100 billion dollars of taxpayer money and devote it to this covert war? The House of Representatives in Congress is supposed to represent the people in the spending of money - all money bills originate in the House. What are they doing? Is this democracy? And where is the press in any of this that is supposed to inform Americans about what the government is doing? First we sent in the State Dept., Victoria Nuland, and the CIA, to install Victor Yushenko who Ukraine hated and immediatedly voted out. Then we went in money and strategists to depose Victor Yanukovych because he wanted Ukraine to strike a balance between the EU and Russia. We used oligarchs and the Ukrainian media to whip up anger against him, and he was run out of the country violently, and then install Pedro Poroshenko as Ukraine's President - who began the war against ethnic Russians in the Donbas, and repression Russian and elevating former Nazis with celebrations and statues. Then came Zelensky, who got elected because he promised to end the violence in the Donbas - but he did not do that, and continued bringing in American weapons and advisors, and also continued repressing ethic Russians and even stepped up the violence against them on the border of the Donbas, breaking his promise, and putting his country and people in danger. Check the records of the OSCE the neutral entity that tracked violence and shelling in the Donbas, and how the incidence of shelling last year at this time increased geometrically - until the Russians took action. All those years the Russians were trying to come to some kind of peace agreement - which the US ignored or cancelled. Even after the war started Ukraine and Russia were working out a negotiation and the US had Boris Johnson of the UK go to Turkey where this negotiation was happening and threaten Ukraine in order to end the negotiation and continue the war. The Ukrainian war has destroyed Urkaine, and killed Ukrainians, and crippled the civil economies of Europe, and brought massive inflation to the US, and hunger to the Third World. Nance is a tool, and Bill Maher seems to have no clue about any of this. OR, maybe he does and he is parroting the CIA line because that is what American media networks have to do to stay in business.
@@BJZnRPZ I would say the same thing about Republicans. I come from a family of mostly Republicans. But generally rational sane people and not extreme on all issues. That kind of Republican seems fewer and far between these days, amidst today’s rabid MAGA kooks and election denying QAnon loonies.
@Paul Chadbourne No, they're not. Common sense Democrats are most of the Party. That's why Joe Biden was the nominee and got elected. That being said, Maher's anti-Progressive diatribes are just a bi-product of the same Right wing propaganda machine used to fool dumb people into believing a grifter celebrity wa their savior. Progressives have common sense. They're just smart enough to know that the same Republican corrupted political system affects Democrats too. End Citizens United
Yes, we're in a crisis with so many American parents home schooling their children, when we're behind educationially European, and Asian countries who do not home school their children.
"In the midst of a public education crisis" is an understatement and not something new. The public school system in the United States has been broken for a long time. I graduated HS in 1970, and sometime after that everything went to hell, starting with discipline and RESPECT. A big chunk of the rest of the world is already way ahead of Americans. I live in Italy now and tutor kids in English. I could list the many differences from respect to academics, but suffice it to say, they are VAST.
I'm an educator who stopped teaching in the US and now teaches overseas. American education began to decline when politicians started enacting laws overseeing education. The vast majority of my colleagues just want to be left alone to do the job they were trained to do. It really started in the 70s with the passage of IDEA and schools have been in decline ever. Political interference along with cultural apathy towards education are your reasons for the decline. I teach in China and i face more restrictions now in the USA at what I can teach than i do in China. NCLB was a complete disaster, the GOP complains about teaching standards but they brought them in. It's just getting worse because everyone thinks they are an expert on everything and interfere with people who know how to do it. How do you improve education, keep politics out of the classroom is a good start. Pay teachers fairly and you will attract more people into the profession. Train them properly, give them the tools they need and let them do what they are trained to do. Everything is bad because we've politicized everything. I'll never teach in another USA school because you're just a babysitter and a political pawn.
We don't really invest in future generations or do a lot of preventative methods with youth here in the US. We do a lot of punitive--by expanding our juvenile detention and more punishment based programs. I know as I worked with at risk youth in the US in multiple states from the mid 90's until 2010. If [punishment is a way to teach respect it's really not working on our youth.
@@alanb443 Keep up the praise of China. Eventually you will have a high enough social credit score to qualify for air travel. Just stay away from the term, "Tiananmen Square 1989".
@@RyviusRan Did i praise China? I don't think so. I pointed out that countries considered oppressive are less oppressive than the USA regarding what you can or cannot teach. Learn to read.

How many people knew of Tulsa and other events like it in this country until just a few years ago? It's not about China, it's about the USA. We have social credit scores in this country to.

Exactly. This is nothing new. I just read an article yesterday which reported that 23 schools in Baltimore don't have even one student who's performing at grade level in math. How is that possible?!
Nance immediately takes the racist stance when asked if things would be different if Tyre was White. If Tyre was White, the murder would hardly be seen on MSM...since Whites are killed at 2 to 3 times the rate of Blacks, for committing less than 10% of the crime the Black community produces.
Odd they didn’t mention why another reason parents have their kids in homeschool these days is because they don’t want them to be shot and/or attacked by some crazy nut.
I'm just guessing here, but I bet you could draw a parallel between those people and their choice of television media. I haven't watched Fox except as a joke (hey, it turned out better than expected), but I think they tend to focus on topics other than school shootings, or if they do report on a school shooting, they don't focus on it as much. So to a liberal parent it might seem like there are more school shootings, while to a conservative one there might seem to be less.
This was one of the better episodes. Bill actually knew when to shut up (likely because it spoke about topics where he didn't feel like he had a bone to pick), and the guests were also all professional, knew when to contribute and when to let others speak. Some guests can be attention hogs and always try to get in a word regardless of whether or not the topic falls withing their area of expertise. This was actually both coherent and enjoyable.
Yup, turns out when you don't hyper-focus on trans and woke issues, which don't even effect like 98% of us, you can have a good show with diverse conversation about topics that people actually care about. Edit: Not that I don't think these issues are important, just that Bill has an unhealthy obsession with them lol
The overall long term health of ANY society, is directly related to how well educated the populace are, regardless of degrees of servitude across the same society.
Born in 52. High School bored me to tears. I dropped out, took my GED test and did quite well for myself the rest of the way. I would think it would be more difficult today to do what I did. Free community college might be a good idea. It might have given me incentive to stay in school but I doubt it.

Many of you would cry but what about my burgers a another nonsense... THEN RESPECT THE PEOPLE WHO NAKE THEM AND WORK IN THESE JOBS. What we have is a lack of respect for people and their jobs. You all want to be above someone but don't have the balls to say it out in the open.
@@vallee7966 That is what Bernie Sanders has been saying for years. I agree, even though l have a graduate degree from college. I am more hesitant to recommend these on-line degrees. They are very expensive, give an AA degree, but it is truly so specialized without the exposure to all the subjects one gets in a 2 year AA at a real school, that l don't think there should be a degree awarded. Trade schools, which are a great way to learn and prepare for a job, are the equivalent. Some people (in my experience) seem to think an AA obtained in this way is more equivalent to a PhD because it is current. It definitely is not.
What about free trade school for a job in industry? Just because you would not have benefited doesn't mean the vast majority of Americans would not, and America definitely needs education - we are dead last in education in the developed world - how do you think that can be? Is it because Americans are stupid, or because our leaders no long want an educated population when they can drain the rest of the world of their talent, weaken other countries, and weaken democracy here by making Americans stupid useless eaters as they say?
And if you want a job that pays well and includes insurance and 401k, you need a piece of paper. Bill thinks you don't need the paper but the paper allows you to pass those without it.

Kristen Soltis Anderson reminds me of a smoother, less abrasive, Kayleigh McEnany. She slips in her right wing views quickly and subtlety. But I can see her as a future press spokesperson for DeSantis
She can coherently connect several words into a phrase, several phrases into an opinion. And state an opinion that is worth hearing. Unlike the current press secretary.

On the cop situation: Everyone is on board with what the left says on this issue in regards to not wanting the black community to die at the hands of police officers. I promise you that people on the right don’t want white or black cops unjustly killing the black community. But, where you start to lose everyone outside the “all cops are bastards” community is not taking responsibility for your own community. Poor and inner city citizens have to hold up their end of the deal if they want to be given the benefit of the doubt. What if every time I ate a Red Starburst there was a 50% chance it was poisonous and I was going to end up in the bathroom all night. And every time I ate a Pink Starburst there was a 1% chance it was poisonous. When you compare the 2 together I’m going to approach eating RED STARBURST with way more caution and hesitancy than I would a pink one. Not because I hate the color red, but due to statistics and history of red starburst making me sick when I eat them.
@@dritemolawzbks8574 Then can I ask, why you support literal Neo-Nazi's fighting in the Ukrainian Azov battalion and wishing for a nuclear holocaust. Why do you secretly get off by seeing many innocent people dead or are you that brainwashed by the establishment who does the thinking for you? 🤡
The point of pulling kids out of school was to protect older people. If the entire adult community is taking precautions and children are not, it is counterproductive to preventing the spread of the virus.
Yes, "tolerate." Not our battle to "give up." While some people think it is "our" fight, many don't want to get dragged into (or start) a global conflict.
7:45 Oh come on, Malcolm, you know this is absolute BS. Cops don't think they can do whatever they want to a person because the person is black, they think they can do whatever they want because they're cops.
Why aren't we seeing the same level of violence toward white males then? Show me all the videos of cops murdering white males when making routine stops. I don't think they exist, but hey I'll give you a chance to prove your point.
I always like Kristen because her whole job is to try to evaluate and understand where people are coming from in as scientific a way as possible. And yet SHE STILL seems like a very sweet person who isn't judging but trying to be sympathetic. I think maybe she use to be a tiny bit more sarcastic, but I don't think I have ever seen her be rude or smug or say anything ridiculous, and I don't think I have ever seen her argue with any other guest, despite being on the show many many times. And not even in a weak or shy way or like she never makes a rebuttal. I think she is just thoughtful and trained enough to understand other people that she never slips and says "that thing" that gives the other person a chance to get mad and snap back or imply that she doesn't understand the situation. She never comes off like she is trying to be funny or score points or pushing an agenda, she sits there and listens intently until she hears something she is an expert on and then gives her opinion confidently and respectfully.
I wasn’t too excited when I saw these three people on the show roster for this week (with the possible exception of Nance given his recent involvement in Ukraine) so I was happy to see them all exceed my expectations in their thoughtful and incisive commentary. Great show.
4:30 my daughter is one of them. We tried to work it out with the public school that certain times of the year she should be online learning so she wouldn’t be exposed to possible covid because of a medical issue especially after the holidays and they wouldn’t allow it. So we took her out and went to a private online school. She at first wasn’t sure if she liked it but as time went on she loved the new freedoms she has and didn’t feel trapped inside a classroom. We also discovered that we are not forced under any government mandates like core math and she got to take courses that were not available in our local public school. It’s worth it to us.
It's because of your quality handling of the situation, along with the freedom your daughter has to express how she feels about her learning environment, that allows that better idea to become the better idea. I know I always felt trapped inside a classroom.
I'm a retired educator and lawyer and have a daughter in high school. Not sure what you mean about "core math." My daughter has had to go through all the same courses as many others and found the math instruction to be both beneficial and useful. (What is the volume of water flowing through a pipe given the volume and size of a pipe? An example of a question that I helped my daughter to solve when she was 14. Currently she's working on fractions and since my dad was a carpenter, we measured everything in fractions. Was amazed recently when we worked on a Habitat for Home and the young kid (23 y.o.) had no idea what we were talking about. The practicality of the math makes it easy to learn!!!)
@@rabbit251 It should tell you about the failure of the educational system that a 23 year old "kid" wasn't familiar with fractions. I couldn't quite follow your train of thought when your daughter was working on fractions. 14 seems to be far too late for that. But perhaps I misread that. The example of the pipe is trivial when it comes to basic school math. Gets far more interesting in actual applications starting that a 2" Schedule 40 pipe doesn't have either a 2" OD or ID. This continues with different flow speeds depending of the water thru the piper and so on/
People like to punch at public schools, but my wife worked 27 years with special needs children and my son is a teacher.There are very few parents qualified to home school, and many that give it up find that their child is hopelessly behind.
Police training produces the "mindset" that Nance talks about. I'm glad he brought up the guns-forward warrior training that many departments get from ex-military MAGA types.
We don't see this same "mindset" at play on the cop reality shows. They are not as quick to be violent or pull out their gun when they know a cameraman has his camera rolling.
Malcolm Nance didn’t even prepare for this. Tyre Nichols was killed by being bludgeoned to death, it had nothing to do with guns. How was that not called out?
Which is why you should not be hiring your police department from ex-military, because they have the wrong mindset. They have been taught that everybody but them selves is the enemy. Quite obviously this priority is wrong for civil usage
Sending billions of dollars and weapons to a corrupt country to fight an adversarial nuclear power.... yeah that's something we should all root for. Nevermind who is profiting, why it started, what printing money does to inflation ect. Nothing to see here folks! Just good ole America helping the world spread democracy. Ffs
Ukraine surely had corruption in its government, but its all shades of grey. The US is not without corruption as well. Besides the US has mostly given Ukraine its old weapons, and encouraged the Nato partners to give them old systems in exchange for newer equipment. With a few exceptions...
@Roger Heuckeroth oh. So everything is hunky dory peachy keen then huh? Shades of grey of corruption and old weapons with some freshly printed freedom bucks... sounds like the recipe for peace to me. 👍
@Randa Austin: How about a president that doesn't promote war and sending billions of tax dollars to a corrupt country, in order to fuel their proxy war.
If you pay attention to the number of times the democrat disrespects a woman by interrupting her, versus the respect she shows for everyone, you can begin to notice how Bill does nothing to make him back off and be respectful. And listen for the single word "Well..." to come from Bill's lips, when said democrat lies his face off. Not, "Well, that's just not true, is it?" which Bill would pound out at any non-democrat. Kristin Soltis Anderson struck me as the only person at the table who was honest and respectful. So sad.
American public education is scary. Has been for thirty years. I see the bad results almost everyday. I don't know how you fix it. Maybe we just have to live with people who aren't trained in much of anything very well from hygene to math. A kid with brains will self train, but the average kid will do wha his/her phone tells her to do going forward.
I think the only way to fix it is for value to be placed on education again. Not sure how we would go about that. The friends and family I have who are or have been teachers say that dealing with behavior problems takes up an immense amount of their time and almost no one shows up to parent/teacher conferences.
The problem is teacher pay sucks, and anyone with any real intelligence goes into something more lucrative, or at least mentally challenging. I only sent my kids to school for the social experience, and taught them reading, math, science, and history at home. The number of times, that I was blown away by the sheer stupidity, of those who pass as educators, really was upsetting. When I first sent my older girl to school, I was in grad school, and took time out of my studies, to go to the parent-teacher conference, where I was told, "Rebecca talks real good." To which I responded, "Yes, she speaks rather well." And the dummy didn't know she'd been corrected. Another time, when I asked the point of some of the school activities, I was told "I'm trying to make math fun." This shocked me, and I blurted out, "But, math is already fun, this is just pointless and distracting." My disappointment, in the intellectual caliber of teachers continued into their high school, when I had to correct the misconceptions their math teachers gave them, and show them how to do stoichiometry in chemistry. Teachers should have degrees in the fields they teach, in high school at least, as a degree in education means nothing. If we want better educations, for our children, we need to pay teachers better, and weed out the morons. But, I suspect the morons account for 90%.
I think the problem is basics are no longer taught. Reading is now based on "sight words" instead of phonetics, math fundamentals are no longer taught. The consensus is kids will just have calculators. They do not know how to use a dictionary or thesaurus. Spelling went out the window and as long it is "close enough" it counts. They don't teach cursive anymore or analog time. I don't fault the teachers for these things, it is the people in power making the curriculum.

A crisis in education for this generation... following a crisis in parenting of the previous generation. I remember in the early 00's wondering what this coddling parenting culture would create... where kids never go outside, and parents schedule "play dates" for them... in a sense they didn't turn out as bad as I feared, and in another sense they're so much worse than I imagined.
This is a real comment. This is the main point of all our problems. All of them. Climate change to political issues. It’s cause of shitty parenting and a lazy. I mean incredibly lazy future generation of America. This is what we get for investing so little of gdp into education.
The people in the USofA changed when the people became blind to the conservative lies. Lies that the gop cared about small government, cared about the national debt. In the sixties a janitor could afford a house, a stay at home wife, two kids, and two vehicles. Those kids grew up knowing that life was ok, hard but ok. The conservatives took that away gave it all to the top. The wife went to work and to many of the kids were raised by the streets! Name me one conservative that spent less than the previous liberal. Now when a government protects its secrets more than the truth it cannot possibly govern by rule of law!

@@jimmyboard the US has a government run health industry heavily funded by the very people who profited off of the entire situation, to the tune of more than double record profits. There are also hundreds of doctors coming out and stating how the record keeping of those who died were intentionally misleading to make profit. Guy said it killed a million people and is killing 500 a day still. Probably because this was aired on CNN and the rest of the show was aired on HBO and certain companies invest heavily in the parent network to push their corporate agenda. There are probably no more than 20-30 people who die every day from this and they are most likely the already extremely sick and unhealthy of the population. Maybe 100,000-200,000 people have actually died because of this virus in the US. And the majority were most likely in the first 6 months and they were almost all going to be at risk of they got a new variant of the flu with some mutation they were extra susceptible to. We destroyed an economy, we destroyed a generation, we destroyed the potential of another generation and we made rich men richer than any other time in history. I don’t understand how so called social democrats and how so called fiscal conservatives from either end could not both be outraged over the horrendous way this was handled and how absolutely fucked the lower class and lower half of the middle class have been treated by the upper echelon of the middle class and the elite ruling class, it’s absolutely fucking ridiculous.

None of these myriad of professions needs the 4 year time in a big state college or university. Many kids are in big universities and end up doing these jobs because it's what they really wanted and now have the big time student loan debt when what should have been made available to them was a free community college or trade school.
Tbh if I was an American parent I'd be homeschooling or doing online - only because of number of shootings!! Make it safe. No child should have to go through shooter drills. What will psych impact be for next generation who grew up with this.
Why do we act as if school is the only place where children can learn social skills. We need more kids getting jobs early and learning real adult skills. The only things kids learn from other kids is how to be kids. There are born experts at that already. They need to be in environments where they have to be responsible and mature.
Who are the "they" that can do anything? And what is the "anything" you are referring you? I think most teachers just want to make a difference. There are good teachers and bad teachers not unlike other professions. The mess has been created by a group with an agenda.

He is a liar and an idiot ... he wrote 3 books about Trump being a Russian spy - seriously. What are you thinking? Oh, and by the way - I hate Trump and always did, so I am not defeneding Trump.
@@justgivemethetruth I respect your opinion and agree with you in regard to Trump not being a direct spy from the Kremlin. But there was russian interference in the 2016 election, whether it was orchestrated by the Kremlin or not. They attempted to hack the servers of both the DNC and the RNC, succeeding on the former. But his ego will not allow him to recognize that he won a muddied election, the same way he claimed He didn't win the popular vote because of illegal aliens voting. For him admitting that interference from Moscow would mean he didn't win a fair a election and he'll never do that As far as Mr Nance's comments on policing, I agree with him wholeheartedly, but I will say in defense of the police, in my personal opinion of course, there has been a breakdown in society and families about civility and respect. Kids go to school mouthing off to teachers, disrespecting authority figures, including the police which makes their job much more difficult. We all know it's a high stress job but something needs to be done, I mean, at what point do you decide you have to shoot someone 20 times for that person to stop being a threat?
@@miguelvera7021 Nance did not write 3 books about Russian interference in our elections - so just shut that down right now. We corrupted the whole governments of countries all over the world. The Russians bought just a fraction of a million dollars worth of ads on Facebook, or close to it. Not to mention that American media, TV and movies constantly prime American audiences to hate Russians and think them capable of any evil. I don't know - maybe they are, but then so are we, and we actually know thanks to our relatively more open system that we are evil. Have you read about the history of the US all over the world, like South and Central America? Philippines? Europe, Africa, especially the Middle East? Oliver Stone's series on The Untold History of the United States and the books go heavily into this - and it is all documented history. I am not even saying the US should not be an empire or expansionist, but that Americans ought to understand and agree - in a plurality - that this is the path we want to pursure - and so should the rest of the world. As far as the breakdown in respect, personally, I believe that was planned. I guess I am lucky enough to be about Bill Maher's age, and have seen how our country and media and news has changed. Starting in the 70's, but even before that movies went from being mostly moral tales with a message that was positive to being all about horror, violence, sex ( no, I am not against sex ) - it's little things that add up over time. I remember when Playboy magazine used to be under the counter or in the back, now much worse are on display at eye level for children. Disrespect for adults was very rare in the media, now that is pretty much all there is. They blather for a few minutes about subjects that have been studied for decades, and nod their head and jerk each other off for money on cable TV. Real Time, or Politically Incorrect has morphed over time too, mostly since Obama got elected and Bill turned against the Democratic party ... and in many cases for good reason, but that is not a good reason to put up with Republicans and showcase Conservatism the way he does at times lately.
@@miguelvera7021 > at what point do you decide you have to shoot someone 20 times for that person to stop being a threat? It's kind of ironic that this is exactly what we are doing to Russia ... shooting them 20 times in the chest because they are doing just 1% of what we do to protect our borders.

We have been in an education crisis for the last 30 years.
Definitely, i am 39 and i always felt like i was in the middle of some shift.
Not just because of the internet and mobile phones (got my 1st one when i was 15 in 1998, a giant beeping brick with 1 line of display), but also because people were changing around me.
As i was leaving school, it really felt like i was one of the last of an era, because now everything is digital and ... different.
My elementary school had only 1 computer, running some pre-Windows 95 DOS on it, my highschool had more, but it was still early stages, and mostly primitive Windows 95 programs, that in itself is fine, things change.
But when i was a kid, and addicted to playing GameBoy, i still had to keep it at home when going to school, because it was going to be a distraction.
That has changed, and now everyone is having their phones in class.
Teachers used to demand that you at least turn your sound off, and when you were distracted by your phone, the teacher would take it for that class, good luck trying that today..
Apparently, the old system didn't work, where in times of emergency, a parent would call up school and a receptionist/janitor would go up to the class and either pass on the message or take you out of class.
Apparently, kids are too important and busy with private stuff, that they prioritize it over school.
Yeah right, i remember school being boring, sure, you'll do anything for a distraction, but there's no more pushback on it from the schools, so it's just running rampant.
Walking around and having conversations on your mobile phone used to be a show-off thing, "look at me being popular", but that has now become a lifestyle, and the tagline remained the same "look at me being popular", i think it is just damaging the overall etiquette, or i don't know, public respect or civilized manner of behaving when out in public.
I mean, nowadays it's easier to even fake a conversation, put some Apple products in your ears and start talking.
Social awkwardness is the new cool, and you're weird if you can have normal in-person conversations with people, or can stay focused on a topic for more than a minute.
This used to be puberty stuff, but it's still going on.
To me it became first known as the "Angst" of Gen X, but it might've also been a continuation of the Bomb threat for the Boomers, so i don't think that that has really gone away, but with each generation it shifts into these weird mental things.
I mean, in the 90s, the kids that were kinda without identity used to be called "alto", and listened mostly to Korn, Limp Bizkit, Marilyn Manson etc., but now a lot of those kind of lost people are getting all kinds of weird surgeries...
Somehow the identitycrisis became a physical thing, and i'm sure it is also a phase that will pass.
People say that complaining about the youth goes back millennia, but i do think that things are getting worse over time.
And sure, things go in cycles, we might be having reached _that_ part of the cycle, again.
What also happens in history is when uneasy times keep lingering, it will lead to a climax at some point..
So, be careful when you're out picking historical cherries.
Either way, where are the days where school was just school, and your parents accepted the judgement of the teachers (mostly)?
School is boring and outdated, i agree, but it was the next best thing to get some discipline, aside from Unlce Sam.
I was lucky to not have had the obligated conscription, it was abolished a few years before i turned 18.
But, looking at people and kids today... i might not be fully against bringing back conscription again, only just to get some discipline into some people, when schools fail to do so.
But yeah, then there's the problem of WHAT the kids are getting taught at schools..
Gee, gotta love humans!
Yes because we are only rewarding those kids at the the top with good education. This is CLASS WAR 101, to the richest go all the spoils. Maybe we can start by investing in our youth and our teachers by providing livable salaries especially in Red states where they typically have the worst ratings for education.
Planned crisis the rich don't want you educated they want you stupid so they can control you better. We have the Internet and global community yet non of these cabal people can name the Jews or rich people who control the world..IN 2023 THEY CANT EVEN NAME THEM
We don't have an education crisis. You can't teach stupid, and nobody wants to admit that. IQ matters
It all started with the Ronald Reagan Era.

It's so fascinating to me that comedians are the ones bringing more non-partisan discourse and debate on subjects like this than mainstream media outlets. Granted, there's far too many times to count that Maher's guests only spat out partisan-editorialized opinion. This was a refreshing conversation to listen to that seemed less like a tribally motivated character argument and more of a conversation about the actual issues being asked about.
Then start with facts and not what side they are on... Which person has stated facts that you can look up and if they directed you to them. Fox news and the like use tribalism to push ideas that FEEL good to you but aren't truthful. I use them not because I'm a democratic but because FACTUALLY they aren't a news organization their most popular programs are opinion shows who when faced with law suits claim no reasonable person would believe them. This should not be the behavior of a news organization and this why fox news labels it self entertainment.
He's partisan and pro war with Russia.
Bill can cover so many controversial and even critical issues in a good motivated responsible humorous manner to let us thinking and even reexamine the things happening so thankful to have this conversation program every Friday night feel hopeful about our country
You think that is non-partisan? It is anything but.
Court Jesters have a proud history.
Keep up the good work Mr. Maher. Now that it's uncommon, your common sense opinions, dialogue and humor are even more appreciated...at least by this viewer!
By common sense opinions, do you mean ignorant and uninformed? I agree ....
Support Ukraine, or not, the US had been working for over a decades to bring war to that country ( because our best diplomats and generals have been warning against it for a decade, or more in some cases ) in order to weaken Russia. What kind of ally is America when we bring such destruction to a country like Ukraine? And what kind of government when they take over $100 billion dollars of taxpayer money and devote it to this covert war? The House of Representatives in Congress is supposed to represent the people in the spending of money - all money bills originate in the House. What are they doing? Is this democracy? And where is the press in any of this that is supposed to inform Americans about what the government is doing?
First we sent in the State Dept., Victoria Nuland, and the CIA, to install Victor Yushenko who Ukraine hated and immediatedly voted out. Then we went in money and strategists to depose Victor Yanukovych because he wanted Ukraine to strike a balance between the EU and Russia. We used oligarchs and the Ukrainian media to whip up anger against him, and he was run out of the country violently, and then install Pedro Poroshenko as Ukraine's President - who began the war against ethnic Russians in the Donbas, and repression Russian and elevating former Nazis with celebrations and statues.
Then came Zelensky, who got elected because he promised to end the violence in the Donbas - but he did not do that, and continued bringing in American weapons and advisors, and also continued repressing ethic Russians and even stepped up the violence against them on the border of the Donbas, breaking his promise, and putting his country and people in danger.
Check the records of the OSCE the neutral entity that tracked violence and shelling in the Donbas, and how the incidence of shelling last year at this time increased geometrically - until the Russians took action.
All those years the Russians were trying to come to some kind of peace agreement - which the US ignored or cancelled. Even after the war started Ukraine and Russia were working out a negotiation and the US had Boris Johnson of the UK go to Turkey where this negotiation was happening and threaten Ukraine in order to end the negotiation and continue the war.
The Ukrainian war has destroyed Urkaine, and killed Ukrainians, and crippled the civil economies of Europe, and brought massive inflation to the US, and hunger to the Third World.
Nance is a tool, and Bill Maher seems to have no clue about any of this. OR, maybe he does and he is parroting the CIA line because that is what American media networks have to do to stay in business.

"In the midst of a public education crisis" is an understatement and not something new. The public school system in the United States has been broken for a long time. I graduated HS in 1970, and sometime after that everything went to hell, starting with discipline and RESPECT. A big chunk of the rest of the world is already way ahead of Americans. I live in Italy now and tutor kids in English. I could list the many differences from respect to academics, but suffice it to say, they are VAST.
I'm an educator who stopped teaching in the US and now teaches overseas. American education began to decline when politicians started enacting laws overseeing education. The vast majority of my colleagues just want to be left alone to do the job they were trained to do. It really started in the 70s with the passage of IDEA and schools have been in decline ever. Political interference along with cultural apathy towards education are your reasons for the decline. I teach in China and i face more restrictions now in the USA at what I can teach than i do in China. NCLB was a complete disaster, the GOP complains about teaching standards but they brought them in. It's just getting worse because everyone thinks they are an expert on everything and interfere with people who know how to do it. How do you improve education, keep politics out of the classroom is a good start. Pay teachers fairly and you will attract more people into the profession. Train them properly, give them the tools they need and let them do what they are trained to do. Everything is bad because we've politicized everything. I'll never teach in another USA school because you're just a babysitter and a political pawn.
We don't really invest in future generations or do a lot of preventative methods with youth here in the US. We do a lot of punitive--by expanding our juvenile detention and more punishment based programs. I know as I worked with at risk youth in the US in multiple states from the mid 90's until 2010. If [punishment is a way to teach respect it's really not working on our youth.

Exactly. This is nothing new. I just read an article yesterday which reported that 23 schools in Baltimore don't have even one student who's performing at grade level in math. How is that possible?!

Nance immediately takes the racist stance when asked if things would be different if Tyre was White. If Tyre was White, the murder would hardly be seen on MSM...since Whites are killed at 2 to 3 times the rate of Blacks, for committing less than 10% of the crime the Black community produces.
Odd they didn’t mention why another reason parents have their kids in homeschool these days is because they don’t want them to be shot and/or attacked by some crazy nut.

I haven't watched Fox except as a joke (hey, it turned out better than expected), but I think they tend to focus on topics other than school shootings, or if they do report on a school shooting, they don't focus on it as much.
So to a liberal parent it might seem like there are more school shootings, while to a conservative one there might seem to be less.
This was one of the better episodes. Bill actually knew when to shut up (likely because it spoke about topics where he didn't feel like he had a bone to pick), and the guests were also all professional, knew when to contribute and when to let others speak. Some guests can be attention hogs and always try to get in a word regardless of whether or not the topic falls withing their area of expertise. This was actually both coherent and enjoyable.
Maher's shtick is "outrage". He's reigned in because it's on CNN, not HBO. I don't know how long this will last.
It's a bad format. It's tough to get deep in 2 minute segments... But yeah I get your point
This is a great point. I love Bill, but he's not always the best moderator in terms of leaving the panelists alone to do the talking.
Yup, turns out when you don't hyper-focus on trans and woke issues, which don't even effect like 98% of us, you can have a good show with diverse conversation about topics that people actually care about.
Edit: Not that I don't think these issues are important, just that Bill has an unhealthy obsession with them lol

Born in 52. High School bored me to tears. I dropped out, took my GED test and did quite well for myself the rest of the way. I would think it would be more difficult today to do what I did.

@@vallee7966 That is what Bernie Sanders has been saying for years. I agree, even though l have a graduate degree from college. I am more hesitant to recommend these on-line degrees.

Trade schools, which are a great way to learn and prepare for a job, are the equivalent. Some people (in my experience) seem to think an AA obtained in this way is more equivalent to a PhD because it is current. It definitely is not.
What about free trade school for a job in industry? Just because you would not have benefited doesn't mean the vast majority of Americans would not, and America definitely needs education - we are dead last in education in the developed world - how do you think that can be? Is it because Americans are stupid, or because our leaders no long want an educated population when they can drain the rest of the world of their talent, weaken other countries, and weaken democracy here by making Americans stupid useless eaters as they say?

4:30 my daughter is one of them. We tried to work it out with the public school that certain times of the year she should be online learning so she wouldn’t be exposed to possible covid because of a medical issue especially after the holidays and they wouldn’t allow it. So we took her out and went to a private online school. She at first wasn’t sure if she liked it but as time went on she loved the new freedoms she has and didn’t feel trapped inside a classroom. We also discovered that we are not forced under any government mandates like core math and she got to take courses that were not available in our local public school. It’s worth it to us.
It's because of your quality handling of the situation, along with the freedom your daughter has to express how she feels about her learning environment, that allows that better idea to become the better idea. I know I always felt trapped inside a classroom.
I'm a retired educator and lawyer and have a daughter in high school. Not sure what you mean about "core math." My daughter has had to go through all the same courses as many others and found the math instruction to be both beneficial and useful. (What is the volume of water flowing through a pipe given the volume and size of a pipe? An example of a question that I helped my daughter to solve when she was 14. Currently she's working on fractions and since my dad was a carpenter, we measured everything in fractions. Was amazed recently when we worked on a Habitat for Home and the young kid (23 y.o.) had no idea what we were talking about. The practicality of the math makes it easy to learn!!!)
Sounds way better.
@@rabbit251 It should tell you about the failure of the educational system that a 23 year old "kid" wasn't familiar with fractions. I couldn't quite follow your train of thought when your daughter was working on fractions. 14 seems to be far too late for that. But perhaps I misread that.
The example of the pipe is trivial when it comes to basic school math. Gets far more interesting in actual applications starting that a 2" Schedule 40 pipe doesn't have either a 2" OD or ID. This continues with different flow speeds depending of the water thru the piper and so on/

Why not..
Malcom is such a Gremlin
Police training produces the "mindset" that Nance talks about. I'm glad he brought up the guns-forward warrior training that many departments get from ex-military MAGA types.
We don't see this same "mindset" at play on the cop reality shows. They are not as quick to be violent or pull out their gun when they know a cameraman has his camera rolling.
Malcolm Nance didn’t even prepare for this. Tyre Nichols was killed by being bludgeoned to death, it had nothing to do with guns. How was that not called out?
Complete Nan-sense
Which is why you should not be hiring your police department from ex-military, because they have the wrong mindset. They have been taught that everybody but them selves is the enemy. Quite obviously this priority is wrong for civil usage

Pollsters just make me more cynical.
If you pay attention to the number of times the democrat disrespects a woman by interrupting her, versus the respect she shows for everyone, you can begin to notice how Bill does nothing to make him back off and be respectful. And listen for the single word "Well..." to come from Bill's lips, when said democrat lies his face off. Not, "Well, that's just not true, is it?" which Bill would pound out at any non-democrat. Kristin Soltis Anderson struck me as the only person at the table who was honest and respectful. So sad.
American public education is scary. Has been for thirty years. I see the bad results almost everyday. I don't know how you fix it. Maybe we just have to live with people who aren't trained in much of anything very well from hygene to math. A kid with brains will self train, but the average kid will do wha his/her phone tells her to do going forward.
I think the only way to fix it is for value to be placed on education again. Not sure how we would go about that. The friends and family I have who are or have been teachers say that dealing with behavior problems takes up an immense amount of their time and almost no one shows up to parent/teacher conferences.
The problem is teacher pay sucks, and anyone with any real intelligence goes into something more lucrative, or at least mentally challenging. I only sent my kids to school for the social experience, and taught them reading, math, science, and history at home. The number of times, that I was blown away by the sheer stupidity, of those who pass as educators, really was upsetting. When I first sent my older girl to school, I was in grad school, and took time out of my studies, to go to the parent-teacher conference, where I was told, "Rebecca talks real good." To which I responded, "Yes, she speaks rather well." And the dummy didn't know she'd been corrected. Another time, when I asked the point of some of the school activities, I was told "I'm trying to make math fun." This shocked me, and I blurted out, "But, math is already fun, this is just pointless and distracting." My disappointment, in the intellectual caliber of teachers continued into their high school, when I had to correct the misconceptions their math teachers gave them, and show them how to do stoichiometry in chemistry. Teachers should have degrees in the fields they teach, in high school at least, as a degree in education means nothing. If we want better educations, for our children, we need to pay teachers better, and weed out the morons. But, I suspect the morons account for 90%.
I think the problem is basics are no longer taught. Reading is now based on "sight words" instead of phonetics, math fundamentals are no longer taught. The consensus is kids will just have calculators. They do not know how to use a dictionary or thesaurus. Spelling went out the window and as long it is "close enough" it counts. They don't teach cursive anymore or analog time. I don't fault the teachers for these things, it is the people in power making the curriculum.

In the show, Nance said he was in Ukraine for ten months battling the Russians.
A crisis in education for this generation... following a crisis in parenting of the previous generation. I remember in the early 00's wondering what this coddling parenting culture would create... where kids never go outside, and parents schedule "play dates" for them... in a sense they didn't turn out as bad as I feared, and in another sense they're so much worse than I imagined.
This is a real comment. This is the main point of all our problems. All of them. Climate change to political issues. It’s cause of shitty parenting and a lazy. I mean incredibly lazy future generation of America. This is what we get for investing so little of gdp into education.
Covid didnt help either
The people in the USofA changed when the people became blind to the conservative lies. Lies that the gop cared about small government, cared about the national debt. In the sixties a janitor could afford a house, a stay at home wife, two kids, and two vehicles. Those kids grew up knowing that life was ok, hard but ok. The conservatives took that away gave it all to the top. The wife went to work and to many of the kids were raised by the streets! Name me one conservative that spent less than the previous liberal.
Now when a government protects its secrets more than the truth it cannot possibly govern by rule of law!

@@jimmyboard the US has a government run health industry heavily funded by the very people who profited off of the entire situation, to the tune of more than double record profits.
There are also hundreds of doctors coming out and stating how the record keeping of those who died were intentionally misleading to make profit. Guy said it killed a million people and is killing 500 a day still. Probably because this was aired on CNN and the rest of the show was aired on HBO and certain companies invest heavily in the parent network to push their corporate agenda. There are probably no more than 20-30 people who die every day from this and they are most likely the already extremely sick and unhealthy of the population. Maybe 100,000-200,000 people have actually died because of this virus in the US. And the majority were most likely in the first 6 months and they were almost all going to be at risk of they got a new variant of the flu with some mutation they were extra susceptible to. We destroyed an economy, we destroyed a generation, we destroyed the potential of another generation and we made rich men richer than any other time in history. I don’t understand how so called social democrats and how so called fiscal conservatives from either end could not both be outraged over the horrendous way this was handled and how absolutely fucked the lower class and lower half of the middle class have been treated by the upper echelon of the middle class and the elite ruling class, it’s absolutely fucking ridiculous.

rule 1 -- get home safely. rule 2 -- circle the wagons rule 3 -- protect & serve

Yes, community colleges should be free. They should be an extension of k-12 as publicly funded through taxes. It's where one would get a 2 year associates degree or learning and developing a trade. None of these myriad of professions needs the 4 year time in a big state college or university.

Why do we act as if school is the only place where children can learn social skills. We need more kids getting jobs early and learning real adult skills. The only things kids learn from other kids is how to be kids. There are born experts at that already. They need to be in environments where they have to be responsible and mature.

We're beyond a crisis in education. It's just a big mess where they can do anything they want.

Oh, and by the way - I hate Trump and always did, so I am not defeneding Trump.
He's been involved in the deaths of millions of people. Your mind is simple.
@@justgivemethetruth I respect your opinion and agree with you in regard to Trump not being a direct spy from the Kremlin. But there was russian interference in the 2016 election, whether it was orchestrated by the Kremlin or not. They attempted to hack the servers of both the DNC and the RNC, succeeding on the former. But his ego will not allow him to recognize that he won a muddied election, the same way he claimed He didn't win the popular vote because of illegal aliens voting. For him admitting that interference from Moscow would mean he didn't win a fair a election and he'll never do that
As far as Mr Nance's comments on policing, I agree with him wholeheartedly, but I will say in defense of the police, in my personal opinion of course, there has been a breakdown in society and families about civility and respect. Kids go to school mouthing off to teachers, disrespecting authority figures, including the police which makes their job much more difficult. We all know it's a high stress job but something needs to be done, I mean, at what point do you decide you have to shoot someone 20 times for that person to stop being a threat?

Nance did not write 3 books about Russian interference in our elections - so just shut that down right now.
We corrupted the whole governments of countries all over the world. The Russians bought just a fraction of a million dollars worth of ads on Facebook, or close to it. Not to mention that American media, TV and movies constantly prime American audiences to hate Russians and think them capable of any evil. I don't know - maybe they are, but then so are we, and we actually know thanks to our relatively more open system that we are evil.
Have you read about the history of the US all over the world, like South and Central America? Philippines? Europe, Africa, especially the Middle East? Oliver Stone's series on The Untold History of the United States and the books go heavily into this - and it is all documented history.
I am not even saying the US should not be an empire or expansionist, but that Americans ought to understand and agree - in a plurality - that this is the path we want to pursure - and so should the rest of the world.
As far as the breakdown in respect, personally, I believe that was planned. I guess I am lucky enough to be about Bill Maher's age, and have seen how our country and media and news has changed. Starting in the 70's, but even before that movies went from being mostly moral tales with a message that was positive to being all about horror, violence, sex ( no, I am not against sex ) - it's little things that add up over time.
I remember when Playboy magazine used to be under the counter or in the back, now much worse are on display at eye level for children. Disrespect for adults was very rare in the media, now that is pretty much all there is. They blather for a few minutes about subjects that have been studied for decades, and nod their head and jerk each other off for money on cable TV. Real Time, or Politically Incorrect has morphed over time too, mostly since Obama got elected and Bill turned against the Democratic party ... and in many cases for good reason, but that is not a good reason to put up with Republicans and showcase Conservatism the way he does at times lately.
