Larry Wilmore was miscast as a comedian. He is in fact one of the most intelligent, best informed and fastest thinkers we have in public discourse. If he is occasionally funny, all the better. He is so articulate and has an engaging personal style I'm surprised he doesn't have his own talk show yet. I hope he will soon because I know he will be up to interviewing some of the best thinkers of our time and I look forward to the day I can watch him do so.

knowing that an AR-15 doesn't stand for 'automatic rifle' is completely irrelevant to the idea that rapid fire weaponry should not be in the hands of the average citizen. and few on the left are arguing that ALL guns should be taken away. strawman argument.
The AR doesn’t do that dude and yes the citizens should have the right to own it if they buy it and nope the left wants guns banned look at Beto of Texas and AOC they have all said it read a book next time
Full credit to Larry Wilmore for making an hour with Bill Maher actually tolerable! Bill is SO obtuse on Covid. People were never literally not allowed out of their houses
We are morphing into being totally different Humans ❤….. when something like this happens we must realize that EVERYONE does it at their own pace! It’s messy but it’s unbelievable 🎊 ❤
@@rebeccawoodbury2821 That is not true. Hamas wasn't even elected by the majority of Palestinians. They were put in power by a plurality and with the help of Iran. Most Palestinians would oust Hamas if they could; just.
That's one of the reasons why I don't like Maher. He spews BS like that unchallenged and people say it's a different view that should be respected. That's just BS. I wish he tried to understand that some people aren't protesting for Hamas but for the Palestinians. I think he knows but he's doing it on purpose cause he's a hateful human being.
No one can ever get me to dislike Bill. He is always true to himself and even when i disagree with him, i know he is genuine and sincere in his philosophy. Too many people follow political orthodoxy and group think and many times it drives them to undesired outcomes.
As an American, There are many ahead of him. And he’s no Will Rogers or Mark Twain. He’s too full of himself. I used to watch his show when I could get the channel. But I just don’t admire him even I sort of wanted to.
He's talking about the FAR left. And, yes, they're hung up on "offensive semantics". The reason he goes after Woke extremists is because they give so much ammo to right-wingers.
Elon did not invent the electric car. In1884, Thomas Parker, an English inventor who was responsible for electrifying the London Underground, built the first production electric car in Wolverhampton in 1884. This was followed in 1888 by the construction of the first real electric car by German engineer Andreas Flocken.
@@stevenreinhold I agree with the self righteous comment. I also dislike his science selection. He’s all science when it comes to climate change but completely ignores the science when it comes to GMOs.
Yeah we have some weird laws out here in CA. The "unbanked" is a new one. Who coins these off-the-wall labels? As it applies to self-checkout, I don't know who the "genius" was who came up with that one, but how could they not know that theft would increase? I never use them because I figure what staff they have appreciates the support even if they would rather be someplace else.
Yeah, but everyone appreciates ATMs, don't they? Why do people get upset about self-checkout when they don't get upset about not going to a bank teller to get some cash but going to an ATM instead? Is it the extra work they personally have to do to self checkout their groceries? Or are they upset because a machine is replacing a human worker? But ATMs replaced thousands of human workers. If people are upset about machines replacing human workers, I get that. But then just expect to pay more for humans checking out your groceries--that's fine.
Donald dump was rambling about us being "De-banked." Maybe the Orange Moron had something there after all? I was unaware of being "Unbanked," but CA indeed has some weird laws.
Yeah, I don't seem that as an oppressive structure or an impairment to anyone. I however think this business model of companies instituting these automated systems to cut cost but then prices are still high is what gets to me. The Supermarkets and Pharmacy with the self checkouts are some of the most expensive.
Why does Bill have to look up in his book what he thinks? Probably because he isn't the one who actually thinks that. One of his staff writers probably came up with the idea and thoughts.
The Q&A was the best part. Bill had either a home run or a grand slam for every answer. I am a "socialize all the utilities" kind of guy, so pretty far left, but I think he made some great points about Israel-Gaza. People, college or anywhere else, holding signs for Hamas were ridiculous (this is one of those things where the left just gives the right ammunition to attack us with against independents / moderates), because if they meant 'Palestinians' the signs should have made the distinction, and if they really did mean that Hamas was the more righteous organization, then you haven't read enough about how they operate (their internal tactics and strategy), because attacking from a residential neighborhood to invite retaliatory attacks makes the non-members of Hamas, the people just chilling in a neighborhood, bitter about being dead / injured and losing families to the IDF, and that helps grow the ranks of Hamas. Is Israel seizing land? Yes. Are they committing war crimes? Yes. It's tough all around.
I never have a problem hearing something contrary to my long-held beliefs. As long as it's factually accurate (half-truths don't count) and it's clearly an informed opinion (instantly obvious when it isn't, in which case you're talking out of your ass), and, if it's not simplistic, muckrakerish carping having no solutions attached to it.
Will forever be a Bill Maher fan. He is more relevant and adaptive today, like Biden. Thanks for the good interview and book processes.Oops, repeat comment, okay Bill is worth 2x,.for family members who have been to stand-up shows👍
The days of bipartisanship seem to be ending. This growing rift between left and right is disturbing on many levels. When Tip ONeil used to reach across the isle in the 70’s and 80’s. Those were the innocent days I guess.
Yes, that is true. But you have to get past it. In fact, I'm only about 20% in and the better part of this conversation is Larry. Larry Wilmore is wicked smart. I'm no Maher groupie or whatever - but he makes some good points. Some of his positions I completely disagree with. But that's OK. That's how it used to be back when I was growing up.
@@bill8985 good to know; I stuck with it and am 10 minutes in. I agree with Bill on 95% of policies but he just can't help mentioning woke any chance he gets and it's irritating. Again I'm someone who loves him and watches everything he does, including all his club random episodes. Just wish he'd drop that one thing or cut it back somewhat
I was a big fan for a long time but I find that he is inconsistent when it comes to science, which is odd when you consider that some of his biggest heroes are scientists. There's healthy skepticism and then there's denying solid evidence. And sometimes this inconsistency impacts his opinions about social issues, where there is overlap. I guess that's true of many of us.
The right hated him too before, remember he still hates trump and religion and is for legalizing weed, abortion and sensible gun control. He just got mad he couldnt do comedy shows during covid, and even trying to break the strike line during the writers strike.
@@GeoScorpion He doesn't understand the purpose of vaccinations. He thinks they are to PREVENT disease. He thinks if you get vaccinated against small pox you will NEVER get small pox.
Bill has come a long way but he’s still so out of touch about so many things. I know his black and white approach is appealing but it’s just not realistic.
Watching Bill over the years, I've noticed he seems to be pretty objective and even-handed, UNTIL the topic becomes public health. Then it's, _"Don't tell ME what to do, even if there's a chance I could affect the health of other people!"_ It's his obvious contrarian blind spot, and I cringe whenever he's in a discussion and the topic comes up. That aside, a fascinating discussion! Well done, Larry!
The truth is that Bill Mahers opinion on covid is highly influenced by the fact that he HATED not being able to tour and being stuck at home. And he never seems to consider that YES he might not die from it, but he could spread it to those whom it would kill. Side note. I'm actually a fan of his which is why I remember and noticed it.
I have a buddy that was an honored Marine. Kind, loving, patriotic, and liberal. But he has a unique and callous motto: "Dumb dogs die." You can't stop them. You can't save them. Will Bill look both ways?
Too bad Maher doesn't have an open mind about who he has on his show. If a potential guest might disagree with him he won't have them on at all. What are you so afraid of Maher? Afraid you won't be able to argue your point. grow a pair!
@@MishaShvartsman Have yet to see anyone that has opposing views regarding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Go watch Piers Morgan on that issue and he has people with opposing viewpoints on and no they are not all morons. They make legitimate arguments. Maher is afraid he would lose the argument completely since he's not a good debater.
Bill is at his best when he’s not being the creepy high guy in his basement podcast. He’s also his best when he’s not yelling at his crowds for not laughing at his jokes that bomb.
🤣Bill has no idea he's a narcissist. Although, who does? He preaches free speech but won't accept anyone doesn't think he's funny. Thanks for addressing that point. 👍
Not letting people know private details that would be trouble for a politician is not a crime, is not election interference, etc. Donations are far worse. Promises of free things are far worse. Why do we accept one-person-one-vote, but then demand taxes be based on rates?
Though I admit trump is so hateable that it would be hard to imagine a Joke IN DEFENSE of him that would be even close to funny? I'd wanna pull a will smith atp!
That's a goofy thing to say and the data contradicts you (So does the dictionary: An immig-what?). If you're trying to be provocative or thinking that you'll have success as a troll, I can only suggest practice. Practice. Practice... somewhere else.
Bill position on 'rona is explained clearly in his Club Random episode with Jimmy Kinmel. He had stakes in a baseball team and was losing a lot of money due to lockdown. Thats why je kept pushing the idea lockdown wasnt needed.
@@khammerly I have.lost two relatives to covid. My perspective is that losing one's life is slightly worse than losing one's business. Unless one is a zombie and can still work after death.
@@copernicofelinis I know personally 2 people who lost their lives to fentanyl. Trump shutting down the country and creating the vaccines is not equivalent to Biden letting criminals in to violently sodomize and murder children. Sorry, sweetheart.

Fauci? Not a bad guy. I agree.
Trump and Biden should have a race. Like an actual race. Maybe a half mile or something. Make it pay per view and it'll balance the budget too!
I was a big fan for a long time but I find that he is inconsistent when it comes to science, which is odd when you consider that some of his biggest heroes are scientists. There's healthy skepticism and then there's denying solid evidence. And sometimes this inconsistency impacts his opinions about social issues, where there is overlap. I guess that's true of many of us.
Bill?
@@janetives5470 yup
Ask Biden to count from 100 backwards. He can do. Ask Trump to count to 100 without taking off his shoes and Trump is lost.
wow, TFG has a lot of penises!
Ask Trump to pull the toilet paper off the bottom of his shoe.
reminded me of why I don't like Bill Maher and maybe Larry Wilmore now too...
Key word “Novel” it was a new virus. It was learn as we go.
Did he mean "heckle"?
Bill's podcast is fun too. "Club Random".
It is never a great idea to put two people of vastly different intellect on the same stage.
Bill is the best comedian commentator alive. The woke hates him. 😂
The right hated him too before, remember he still hates trump and religion and is for legalizing weed, abortion and sensible gun control. He just got mad he couldnt do comedy shows during covid, and even trying to break the strike line during the writers strike.
Hate is too good for this hack.
He's been telling the same joke for 30 years.
It's boring by now.
And what's more?
He won't stop.
He won't shut up.
And he won't retire to his Nazi basement.
He's a boil on democracy.
Zero ideas.
Zero laughs.
I agree with Maher on a lot, but in some cases he is insufferably ignorant and smug.
What is he ignorant about?
@@GeoScorpion He doesn't understand the purpose of vaccinations. He thinks they are to PREVENT disease. He thinks if you get vaccinated against small pox you will NEVER get small pox.
I like his smugness, I think he's cool, lighten up!
@@pr-tj5by no
Frost was known to be rabidly homophobic.
C'mon, Bill. You practically fellated Elon Musk, and gushed that he was going to save the world. smh
A good example that "genius" is thrown around pretty loosely these days.
Africklanner...case closed.
Larry should have a show.
Bill has come a long way but he’s still so out of touch about so many things. I know his black and white approach is appealing but it’s just not realistic.
Who has the black and white approach that they like to call realistic? Are you sure your sense of realism isn't idealism in disguise?
Watching Bill over the years, I've noticed he seems to be pretty objective and even-handed, UNTIL the topic becomes public health. Then it's, _"Don't tell ME what to do, even if there's a chance I could affect the health of other people!"_ It's his obvious contrarian blind spot, and I cringe whenever he's in a discussion and the topic comes up.
That aside, a fascinating discussion! Well done, Larry!
was "jesus weeps" a 11/10 roast?
Larry will bring the funny and the intelligent observations, and Bill will bring the hasbara. "Get over it macht frei." JFC.
The truth is that Bill Mahers opinion on covid is highly influenced by the fact that he HATED not being able to tour and being stuck at home. And he never seems to consider that YES he might not die from it, but he could spread it to those whom it would kill. Side note. I'm actually a fan of his which is why I remember and noticed it.
He was losing lots of money from his ownership of a baseball team.
I have a buddy that was an honored Marine.
Kind, loving, patriotic, and liberal.
But he has a unique and callous motto:
"Dumb dogs die."
You can't stop them.
You can't save them.
Will Bill look both ways?
Too bad Maher doesn't have an open mind about who he has on his show. If a potential guest might disagree with him he won't have them on at all. What are you so afraid of Maher? Afraid you won't be able to argue your point. grow a pair!
Of course, he does have open mind. He just doesn't want to have morons. He has plenty of people with opposing views
@@MishaShvartsman Have yet to see anyone that has opposing views regarding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Go watch Piers Morgan on that issue and he has people with opposing viewpoints on and no they are not all morons. They make legitimate arguments. Maher is afraid he would lose the argument completely since he's not a good debater.
Where the hell do you get THAT? I've watched his show for years and he always has guests who are at odds with his own views.
Bill Maher @ 68 now is starting to look like Woody Allen 😂
And Bill will never be funny, he doesn't have it in him.
Bill is at his best when he’s not being the creepy high guy in his basement podcast. He’s also his best when he’s not yelling at his crowds for not laughing at his jokes that bomb.
🤣Bill has no idea he's a narcissist. Although, who does? He preaches free speech but won't accept anyone doesn't think he's funny. Thanks for addressing that point. 👍
THAT'S what limbo is!?!!??!?
I ♡ Droopy the dog.
Not letting people know private details that would be trouble for a politician is not a crime, is not election interference, etc. Donations are far worse. Promises of free things are far worse. Why do we accept one-person-one-vote, but then demand taxes be based on rates?
I am 74 and still waiting for my free stuff. My liberal tears cried waiting could fill a lake.😂
I used to be a Maher fan but don't really care for him these days. On the other hand I do like Larry Wilmore. This should be interesting
Don't be an ideologue, bro? There's always been a litany of right of center comics: Colin Quinn's cadre Patrice O'Neal, Nick dipaolo et al
Though I admit trump is so hateable that it would be hard to imagine a Joke IN DEFENSE of him that would be even close to funny? I'd wanna pull a will smith atp!
I’m curious. What has changed your opinion on Bill?
@@barryhaley7430 dawg it's easy to extrapolate!?!` you don't need the insights there Dr Joyce 🙄smh
@@ttacking_youSorry I don’t understand point.
Adam Kingzinger is an awesome Republican hero at this point
lol
We have immigtanys who don't come here for democracy, but for money.Thus the fight for democracy doesn't reasonate.
That's a goofy thing to say and the data contradicts you (So does the dictionary: An immig-what?). If you're trying to be provocative or thinking that you'll have success as a troll, I can only suggest practice. Practice. Practice... somewhere else.
Bill position on 'rona is explained clearly in his Club Random episode with Jimmy Kinmel. He had stakes in a baseball team and was losing a lot of money due to lockdown. Thats why je kept pushing the idea lockdown wasnt needed.
And also he had to cancel his comedy shows, which lost him a lot of money. His position on lockdown was 100% self-interest.
He is speaking for 5 million people in poverty now for losing their businesses. You have zero picture insight. Maybe think outside of your clique
@@khammerly I have.lost two relatives to covid. My perspective is that losing one's life is slightly worse than losing one's business.
Unless one is a zombie and can still work after death.
@@copernicofelinis I know personally 2 people who lost their lives to fentanyl.
Trump shutting down the country and creating the vaccines is not equivalent to Biden letting criminals in to violently sodomize and murder children.
Sorry, sweetheart.
@@khammerly Biden is _stopping_ more fentanyl at the border.
And immigrants are not the largest source of crime.
Could we please talk about things instead of people.
People are a PART of things.
John Edwards or Howard Dean
Bill once again recycles more of his old schtik to pad the bottom line...
