@@TrumpFanNetwork2what choices did they have? It's either trump or trump adjacent candidates to choose from from the Republicans. A moderate Republican would get the support from either Stephen and Maher
@@fayguled900trump *is* a moderate republican. He used to be a democrat, for christ's sake. Ya'll let the world demonize him and refuse to think for yourselves.
Bill asked, “Who’s facts?”. I remember him mocking Kelly Anne’s “Alternative Facts” and now he is validating that term. Facts don’t belong to anyone, they just are.
Righto. Alternative facts. Like Russia Gate. The Pee Tapes. Vaccines are safe and effective. Covid originated in a wet market. Hunter Biden's laptop. Joe Biden's dementia. Trans women are women. And from 25 years ago, "Islam is a religion of peace." Those are just the "alterative facts" that come into mind easily. I am certain that almost everything that the Democratic Party shoves down our throats belong to this category.
I remember multiple times of Bill Maher very confidently saying "Kamala will win, I'm calling it" on his show, here he says he was ready for Trump to win. What a weird little spin
Agreed, DNC picks their candidate for us. Bernie was ahead in the primaries back in 2020 and the democrats did what they had to do to make sure their guy Biden won.
I’m 54. That’s when I left the Democratic Party. Seeing Donna Brazil and the DNC do everything they can to crown Clinton and bury Sanders was it. That and the riots the left we’re doing every time they didn’t get there way was eye opening
Bill doesn't have to worry about things that affect average Americans. The price of gas and groceries don't affect him. I watched Bills last podcast and HE SAID his main issues are the environment and pot. He is the last person is would take political advice from.
Look what happened in Los Angeles, they are more worried about D.E.I stuff in the fire department then having water in there fire hydrants, they were all empty when the forest fires happened, Los Angeles destroyed
@@billywright1890there are lots of natural resources, including untapped oil reserves in Greenland. Increasing the oil supply leads to a decrease in oil prices, thus decreases transportation costs which causes prices to decrease
For someone who still claims to be on the Left, Bill sure does quote Ronald Reagan a lot. "I didn't leave the Democrat Party, the Democrat Party left me." Newsflash Billy Boy, Donald Trump himself is an ex-Lefty, along with Elon, Tulsi, RFK Jr., Vivek, JD Vance, and half of Trump's cabinet.
Your comment shows us exactly why that quote is so accurate and why it resonates with the American people. The Democrats are so stuck up in their own sense of pride, that they essentially handed over the presidency to the Republicans. The "Republican" party isn't in the Government, the Ex-Democratic party is. That's what both of these guys are saying. They are liberals, but unfortunately, the Democratic party has no merit to be voted for.

I have been a follower, not just a fan, of Bill Maher since he launched Politically Incorrect. He is a voice of reason and sanity in an insane world. Bill has convinced me not to write off the people with whom I disagree so vigorously. I've come to see that there are grains of truth underneath the crazy talk. So instead of rejecting them as total idiots, I now look for the those little truths that I can understand and even agree with. I am listening more and arguing less. I owe that to Bill. And I've also become a Stephen A. follower and I give him kudos for showing that he's way more than a sports analyst, just as Bill is way more than a comedian. They both talk sense.
Bill helped create this left mess because he has no idea what is going on with everyday Americans. Example, Dennis Prager told Bill that they are putting tampons in boy's bathrooms. Bill laughed and said he was crazy...now fast forward to today. Bill thinks he's smarter than what he is. Bill also wanted Gavin Newsom for president. Don't confuse Bill letting people talk with Bill actually listening and using reason. Bill also said he would never be a republican...normal people have no problem voting for a good candidate regardless of party.
I also stared listening to Bill Maher on Politically incorrect when he said he had been a Democrat since he was seven years old. At one time he was putting on ordinary people mixed with celebrities. Almost all of the ordinary people were leaning toward conservatism. They were almost always more knowledgeable than Bill and his liberal celebrities. It was so one sided that most liberal celebs. did not want to appear on his show so Bill discontinued having ordinary people as guest.

Great conversation. Some have called me extreme right. But to hear an intelligent conversation between two intelligent people is a relief. We need more political discourse like this. Good interview Steven A.
Elon Musk did not make twitter more right wing. The leftists simply left in protest after dissenting opinions offended them. when it was an even playing feild, it was simply more than leftists could handle.
Every time I hear someone on the left start to make sense, they say something ridiculous. Like saying Harris was any kind of decent for our country. She was a moron
No, the current 34 count convicted felon, president elect, if you want to call him that, is the damn moron and anyone that voted for him and I'm a republican but I was smart enough not to drink the Jim Jones koolaid.
By saying that, he meant that he doesn't care about money, so he might actually do a good job. There's no threat based on him trying to capitalize on entering the government, as some politicians in Europe do.
On the topic of censorship, it's mind blowing to me that people in the EU are getting more prison time for posting their opinions online than someone who car jacks someone or stabs someone....the U.S needs to take a hard look at that and ask themselves if that's the world they really want to live in. If you look at states like California and New York, they will gladly copy something like this on the state level because they want compliance and they WILL overstep their boundaries to make it happen as they've shown time and time again.

There are no elite people in this world . Especially in the government, because okay, maybe you can call yourself kind of elite, if you've worked hard to get where you are and you have a lot of money.But when you've just stolen the money, there's nothing elite about that, that's called a crook
Great interview. Bill is the man. I’m a right leaning Independent but I always respect Bill’s opinion and look forward to what he has to say because I know it’ll challenge my own thoughts while also making me laugh. 🤙🏽
"Blessed is the man who endures trials because when he passes the test he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love Him" James 1:12
Curious how many independents on here were democrats until recently. I left that evil party a long time ago after studying history and seeing what they stand for. I consider myself a centered conservative independent.
With the big CA fire where is the high Adam Schiff ? CA democrats voted for him can’t he help out the Mayor & Governor who we tried to impeach but Hollywood saved him!!! I hope he can help LA now that they are burned
I felt like Maher said a number of things that came from his bias that were incorrect and just opinionated. He's not as unbiased as he tries to sound. But I still prefer listening to him over most online. He is himself and not influenced by others.
It's hilarious how twitter is a conservative place now yet it is basically a 50/50 split between conservatives and liberals. Bill once again is talking out of his butt.
Because we agree with her politics, duh. Trump doesn’t have a plan for healthcare, housing or anything else. He duped people into believing immigration and tariffs will make life more affordable. Stupid stupid country.
I’ve been a fan of Maher for 30+ years, but it’s easy for him to downplay the risk Musk poses with trump in the WH when he isn’t poor, working poor, or middle-class, so he isn’t going to lose his Medicaid, SSD, SNAP, public schools, school lunches, or Medicare….so he’s really looking from a lofty safe space of wealth and privilege
Don't agree with Bill hardly ever but I'm glad Trump's America is giving him a platform to perform. Even though I don't see eye to eye with Bill I enjoy his takes on different topics!
I don’t see eye to eye with him. I don’t see completely eye to eye with Trump either. We should all be able to have a voice as well as disagreements and at the end of the day, be Americans together. Well said dude

Bill, I’m one of your biggest fans and I’m a conservative. I’m an independent but I’m a conservative independent. If you left You Tube I would seriously miss you I just finished watching and on the subject of Kamala vs Trump. You nailed it on one of your other shows. We Trump voters aren’t voting for Trump. WE were voting against Kamala. I have voted democrat in the past as well as Republican. But Kamala and/or Biden has been the worst 4 yr government in my history and I’m 70. Keep up the good work Bill
Under Trump I lost 200 thousand dollars in my 401K, under Biden I made the same amount back. Yes groceries are higher, but inflation was going down, gas was going down, some groceries were going down. Trump has said he is cutting taxes on the rich, which means more taxes for me, who is retired with a set pension. Tariffs make goods cost more. Most of those goods are not made in the United States.
When Maher talks about comedians needing to cross the line, what he's saying is that he considers comedians to be preachers. But he hates religion. This how messed up he and people like him are. Ignorance.
When Standard Oil was broken up in 1911 due to antitrust laws, it was divided into 34 separate companies. John D. Rockefeller owned significant shares in Standard Oil, so he received proportionate shares in these new companies. Many of these companies, like Exxon, Mobil, and Chevron, became highly successful, increasing the overall value of Rockefeller's holdings and ultimately making him even wealthier. The super rich are that rich due to the stock market. Breaking up companies does not change that.
He is definately one of the most reasonable voices in the room, and willing to say what needs to be said. That is something, and very few do it as well as he does. Hes been right about a lot of things too
This conversation is comedic gold. Both thought that the country basically moves forward and therefore Harrz would get in. Meaning they both think this (moving fwd) is not what happened.
Bill Maher’s personal hatred for Trump is shaping his opinions on things as a whole which is a shame. He keeps saying the “wrong” guy or the “wrong” decision is HIS opinion. Most feel it was the right decision. Again this is his personal feelings clouding things as a whole
As a poor person it seems crazy to me that you can say a person who’s had a trillion great genius ideas and made billions off those ideas has “too much money” and should be limited. Those same people are saying we should leave hunter Biden alone

That’s not great it makes the world unstable. It’s only good for the people that need drama to be entertained. There is a reason why trump lost the election after his first presidency.
I love Maher’s attitude. It reminded me of when I took the Dale Carnegie,’s Self Improvement class many years ago. The first night of class, the very first thing, the instructor said was that circumstances are never, ever positive or negative. It depends on how we choose to handle them.
They don’t get it They called x right wing Now that we can actually talk n tel the truth n the left can’t spew their comical propaganda they hate it They hate free speech They hate being challenged They can’t win without censorship U know it I know it They know it
Bill Maher .. was politically incorrect when it was the liberals that were politically incorrect...and the right were uptight... Glad he didn't move with the herd ... It's always best to be independent.. instead of being right or left .. thinking for yourself is the minority unfortunately....
Many people get it...that's not the point. The issue is Trump is the wrong messenger and Bill said that clearly. He is completely immoral and lacks character. Nothing good can come from him...Just wait and see
No they are not. Both are delusional. SA is not to be trusted and bends the knee to even slight pushback. Maher is completely lost, but he only accepts he is outmoded in his idealogy
The idea that you believe X isn’t free speech is either a lie or your ignorance. The idea to cap someone in their wealth is insane. Money may not be Elons motivating factor, but can be for someone else. And when you say, there is a limit, that individual might not have any incentives to create new ideas that can prolong life.
Musk doesn't care about the money. If you cared about the money he would have kept the same policies in the same people at Twitter that were working for the other people at Twitter. Elon lost money because he decided to loosen up Twitter policies. And then look all the lefty left Twitter because they didn't like people's opinions that would be allowed to get back on Twitter. Elon doesn't care about the money if he did he would have Twitter the way it was when he bought it but he didn't he made it better by allowing people to have opinions again.
He is cheap I remember how he lead on the World Food Program like he was gonna write them a historic donation. All he did was argue with them on X then move on.😂😂
Hi Steven & Bill Maher - I just have to give you my own .02 cents worth. You two intelligent men need to give ELON MUSK his space to continue to grow. He is a CARING INTELLIGENT MAN, that is different from most wealthy people. I like and respect ELON for his fearless attitude. I love his honesty and his openness about his thinking. Thank you Stephen & Bill Maher, you both have my respect. From a fearless lady from Texas. 🤗❤️🫶
Justin Trudeau popularity has nothing to do with woke. If you did any research on the matter, you would see that this follows a pattern that happens with each party after they’ve been in power for more than 2 terms. I think 4 other PMs have resigned in the not too distant past for loss in popularity.
Bill really is not that smart of a man in my opinion. He’s a pseudo intellectual. his reasoning and logic are not always sound. There’s so many things that wto go into on this interview and point that out basically what happened to a guy who was kind of crazy liberal as he realized the shift was changing from that to a more common sense approach to life when he realize that he was on the wrong side for so long, he started floating into the middle, then blaming on the even more far left radicals that they were the problem. How could somebody say that the right is too religious if you are authentically religious the start with Christ how could you be too religious even to try to have an argument on that is crazy Bill is a fake and insecure fake.
Labeling is what cause the division. You don’t have to be left or right, conservative or liberal, you just need to have common sense, compassion, integrity, fairness and openness.
It’s because they’re cowards there is no independent centrist just a coward
Wrong its called being honest on where you stand
Well yes....in a perfect world.

It seems Trump is everyone’s reasoning for anything that happens..only bad (of course) I’d say he can handle it as he’s got broad shoulders & I for one don’t understand how he does it.. however, I’m sure glad he does.. 45th & 47th.. it will be a interesting 4 yrs..the left are already looking for his failures & he’s not even official in office.. 😊
Not really. What I hear are two guys saying Woke is BS. MAGA guys need to get over their martyr fetish.
Did I miss something? What did they blame Trump for??
Every time when I see Maher, I will most definitely tune in, so I have something to laugh at, to laugh at him 🤣🤣🤣
Great conversation. Some have called me extreme right. But to hear an intelligent conversation between two intelligent people is a relief. We need more political discourse like this. Good interview Steven A.
Elon Musk did not make twitter more right wing. The leftists simply left in protest after dissenting opinions offended them. when it was an even playing feild, it was simply more than leftists could handle.
Yup!
Garrett, you are just simple as a rock aren't you
Exactly. Every ideology is welcome there, and be challenged.
Wrong. It is. now a right wing cesspool of propaganda.
Every time I hear someone on the left start to make sense, they say something ridiculous. Like saying Harris was any kind of decent for our country. She was a moron
No, the current 34 count convicted felon, president elect, if you want to call him that, is the damn moron and anyone that voted for him and I'm a republican but I was smart enough not to drink the Jim Jones koolaid.
I like hbo show laughter is good for the soul. Thanks bill im a Maga.😅😅
Musk has too much money what a stupid comment! Why don’t you decide how much is too much Bill
What's wild is he said that AFTER pointing out that Elon created 4 of the most recent important technological companies!!
By saying that, he meant that he doesn't care about money, so he might actually do a good job. There's no threat based on him trying to capitalize on entering the government, as some politicians in Europe do.
On the topic of censorship, it's mind blowing to me that people in the EU are getting more prison time for posting their opinions online than someone who car jacks someone or stabs someone....the U.S needs to take a hard look at that and ask themselves if that's the world they really want to live in. If you look at states like California and New York, they will gladly copy something like this on the state level because they want compliance and they WILL overstep their boundaries to make it happen as they've shown time and time again.
Hungary, the favorite nation of the people you prefer, is among the most repressive European states, let alone the EU alone.
Do anti-BDS laws ring a bell to you?
@@earningzekrom4173is hungry sending cops to throw people in jail for reposting memes on social media that “give people anxiety”. Your parroting of lies doesn’t work anymore
Only the right and republicans are censoring people they are the ones banning books
You can be an elite without being elitist.
There are no elite people in this world . Especially in the government, because okay, maybe you can call yourself kind of elite, if you've worked hard to get where you are and you have a lot of money.But when you've just stolen the money, there's nothing elite about that, that's called a crook
Great interview. Bill is the man. I’m a right leaning Independent but I always respect Bill’s opinion and look forward to what he has to say because I know it’ll challenge my own thoughts while also making me laugh. 🤙🏽
Great interview 😊
I saw the special and loved it! It was great…TY Bill! 👍❤️
"Blessed is the man who endures trials because when he passes the test he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love Him" James 1:12
Amen!
@@713Already Great quote from James. There are two books in the Old Testament that talk about the foolish things that men do. Psalms and Proverbs.
Who created the tests?
Look how well California is doing. Wake the hell up.
Tell that to the voters in California.
They are doing better than any red state that’s. A fact read a book
@@Winterstick549tell it to maher as well. He thinks newsome does a great job
Its going to be interesting what his take on the fires is going to be. His boy Newsome and Bass screwed that up so bad!
@@gusvonstupen1897 How did they screw up on the fires becaus some theories that are going around are flat out wrong.
Curious how many independents on here were democrats until recently. I left that evil party a long time ago after studying history and seeing what they stand for. I consider myself a centered conservative independent.
I have always been a #centristvoter. I believe these voters swing most elections. Both parties should be asking why @realdonaldtrump won!
Your name says it all. My guess is you stopped studying the “history”around 1963 and didn’t bother to read about the southern strategy.
With the big CA fire where is the high Adam Schiff ? CA democrats voted for him can’t he help out the Mayor & Governor who we tried to impeach but Hollywood saved him!!! I hope he can help LA now that they are burned
What he said about Twitter is factually incorrect. Elon made it closer to 50/50 left and right, according to CNN
I felt like Maher said a number of things that came from his bias that were incorrect and just opinionated. He's not as unbiased as he tries to sound. But I still prefer listening to him over most online. He is himself and not influenced by others.
Exactly. He showed he is still a delusional hack
Also more liberal people took their ball and went home by going to Bluesky
Elon turned X into a right-wing hellscape
That’s because we are a Republic Bill. It’s in the Constitution
It's hilarious how twitter is a conservative place now yet it is basically a 50/50 split between conservatives and liberals. Bill once again is talking out of his butt.
Yep, Musk leveled the playing field, so now it is tilted right in Maher's bizzarro world.
Maybe if Elon would stop his constant Ketamine use I would be more amenable to listening to him.
“The joy of being able to speak my mind as I see it”.
That is what really matters!
The lies you have told and refuse to apologize for has sunk you.
I used to think Bill was a smart guy, but I was a child. Then I grew up, learned history, and realised liberals are idiots.
What makes you think voting for Kamala Harris would be a step forward? That's the problem with you liberals, no wonder you lost badly.
Because we agree with her politics, duh. Trump doesn’t have a plan for healthcare, housing or anything else. He duped people into believing immigration and tariffs will make life more affordable. Stupid stupid country.
I’ve been a fan of Maher for 30+ years, but it’s easy for him to downplay the risk Musk poses with trump in the WH when he isn’t poor, working poor, or middle-class, so he isn’t going to lose his Medicaid, SSD, SNAP, public schools, school lunches, or Medicare….so he’s really looking from a lofty safe space of wealth and privilege
Don't agree with Bill hardly ever but I'm glad Trump's America is giving him a platform to perform. Even though I don't see eye to eye with Bill I enjoy his takes on different topics!
I bet you will now 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@nzuix Tons a good content coming down the pipe line! 🤣
I don’t see eye to eye with him. I don’t see completely eye to eye with Trump either. We should all be able to have a voice as well as disagreements and at the end of the day, be Americans together. Well said dude
@@LA-84-FM so anybody see eye to eye with everybody all the time really? what we need to be able to do is see the points other people have and not just blindly love one side and vilify the other
@@PopePlatinumBeats no I agree. That’s the point I was trying to make. Sorry if I didn’t articulate it well man. We gotta start listening to each other more!
Bill, I’m one of your biggest fans and I’m a conservative. I’m an independent but I’m a conservative independent. If you left You Tube I would seriously miss you
I just finished watching and on the subject of Kamala vs Trump. You nailed it on one of your other shows. We Trump voters aren’t voting for Trump. WE were voting against Kamala. I have voted democrat in the past as well as Republican. But Kamala and/or Biden has been the worst 4 yr government in my history and I’m 70. Keep up the good work Bill
Under Trump I lost 200 thousand dollars in my 401K, under Biden I made the same amount back. Yes groceries are higher, but inflation was going down, gas was going down, some groceries were going down. Trump has said he is cutting taxes on the rich, which means more taxes for me, who is retired with a set pension. Tariffs make goods cost more. Most of those goods are not made in the United States.
@@bevbhart yeah and my retirement fund shrunk significantly under Biden. It happens
When Maher talks about comedians needing to cross the line, what he's saying is that he considers comedians to be preachers. But he hates religion. This how messed up he and people like him are. Ignorance.
When Standard Oil was broken up in 1911 due to antitrust laws, it was divided into 34 separate companies. John D. Rockefeller owned significant shares in Standard Oil, so he received proportionate shares in these new companies. Many of these companies, like Exxon, Mobil, and Chevron, became highly successful, increasing the overall value of Rockefeller's holdings and ultimately making him even wealthier.
The super rich are that rich due to the stock market.
Breaking up companies does not change that.
Maher thinks he's the smartest guy in any room he's in. He's not. I don't get his appeal.
He is definately one of the most reasonable voices in the room, and willing to say what needs to be said. That is something, and very few do it as well as he does. Hes been right about a lot of things too
So who is the smartest guy in the room, whos voice is more true or speaks more to the realities than he dose?
He’s great for cocky liberals lmao
Same as trump
Bill Maher is not afraid to speak on topics and issues others don't dare to touch on. That's important. Worthwhile conversations.
You and Bill have been very wrong in the past. Do you ever consider that you might still be wrong about some things?
❤love you Bill. ❤
7 minutes: "I'm not socialist...." Goes right to the socialist ideology...
This conversation is comedic gold. Both thought that the country basically moves forward and therefore Harrz would get in. Meaning they both think this (moving fwd) is not what happened.
Bill Maher’s personal hatred for Trump is shaping his opinions on things as a whole which is a shame. He keeps saying the “wrong” guy or the “wrong” decision is HIS opinion. Most feel it was the right decision. Again this is his personal feelings clouding things as a whole
I love listening to bill about pretty much everything. But when it comes to Trump, He is one of the worst cases of TDS i have seen.
Name one thing he said that was incorrect
It’s not deranged to be concerned about a crazy narcissist who tried to end democracy being in the highest office.
At least I would never vote for Kamala 😂😂😂
As a Trump supporting republican, I am a BIG fan of Maher. He speaks his mind and isn’t afraid to offend ANYONE! God speed Bill.
Bill is brilliantly capitalistic. He speaks to his pocket…..
Except Israel, he never says anything to offend Israel
I like Bill, but he is an athiest so I don't think he wants God speed.
Good interview ❤❤❤
One thing y'all can be assured, no member of Trump's team is there for some personal benefit.
yeah keep thinking that buddy
u thing all right wing ppl care abt u?
@@HamzaAhmed-tu7qw I don't need someone to care about me. I need someone to leave me and my business alone, not to plant the obstacles all around.
Nah that’s a lie trumps team is all billionaires read a book
Are you kidding me?
Wow! My two favorite Closet Republicans in the same discussion. This is great!
nice interview. i'm 100% in agreement with Maher
I'm a life long, working class Democrat. And always will be. And I thought this interview and Maher's answers were perfectly reasonable.
I'm sorry to hear that
@BeginSanity Don't be. Nothing to be sorry about.
As a poor person it seems crazy to me that you can say a person who’s had a trillion great genius ideas and made billions off those ideas has “too much money” and should be limited. Those same people are saying we should leave hunter Biden alone
Elon Musk may have so much money that he no longer cares about it, but as Henry Kissinger said: "Power is the ultimate aphrodisiac."
Two of my favorite people finally get together and talk. I wish you would make a podcast together, it would break the all time viewing records!
Bill had SAS on his Club Random podcast a few weeks ago. It’s also on RUclips.

What Bill (almost) gets is Trumps unpredictability is what makes him great
That’s not great it makes the world unstable. It’s only good for the people that need drama to be entertained. There is a reason why trump lost the election after his first presidency.
Only having two sides Left or Right Democrat or Republican limits ideas and solutions. That's the biggest issue in America
I love Maher’s attitude. It reminded me of when I took the Dale Carnegie,’s Self Improvement class many years ago. The first night of class, the very first thing, the instructor said was that circumstances are never, ever positive or negative. It depends on how we choose to handle them.
Dear Maher, Maher, Maher, not that President Trump or Elon was wrong, it was just simply you are not smart to understand they were right. Lord.
These two are finally getting it
They don’t get it
They called x right wing
Now that we can actually talk n tel the truth n the left can’t spew their comical propaganda they hate it
They hate free speech
They hate being challenged
They can’t win without censorship
U know it
I know it
They know it
Bill Maher .. was politically incorrect when it was the liberals that were politically incorrect...and the right were uptight... Glad he didn't move with the herd ... It's always best to be independent.. instead of being right or left .. thinking for yourself is the minority unfortunately....
Until they say he’s the best president ever, they are still wrong. Trump goat 2025
Many people get it...that's not the point. The issue is Trump is the wrong messenger and Bill said that clearly. He is completely immoral and lacks character. Nothing good can come from him...Just wait and see
No they are not. Both are delusional. SA is not to be trusted and bends the knee to even slight pushback. Maher is completely lost, but he only accepts he is outmoded in his idealogy
Great interview. Great host, great guest, great questions, straight forward answers.
The idea that you believe X isn’t free speech is either a lie or your ignorance. The idea to cap someone in their wealth is insane. Money may not be Elons motivating factor, but can be for someone else. And when you say, there is a limit, that individual might not have any incentives to create new ideas that can prolong life.
The goal to prolong life should be enough of an incentive itself, not money.
Elon Musk is the modern day Edison,Bell ,Tesla ,Devinci.Take your pick.I think its great he has the ear of our top leader.
One thing about Elon Musk is, he does what he does in the open unlike George Soros and buddies
I was a big Bill Maher fan10 years ago, not sure what to think now? Can't get those red shoe pics. out of my mind.
Him saying Musk doesn’t care about money was hilarious 😂😂
Musk doesn't care about the money. If you cared about the money he would have kept the same policies in the same people at Twitter that were working for the other people at Twitter. Elon lost money because he decided to loosen up Twitter policies. And then look all the lefty left Twitter because they didn't like people's opinions that would be allowed to get back on Twitter. Elon doesn't care about the money if he did he would have Twitter the way it was when he bought it but he didn't he made it better by allowing people to have opinions again.
I agree I don't think money drives him it's a result of his passion
He is cheap I remember how he lead on the World Food Program like he was gonna write them a historic donation. All he did was argue with them on X then move on.😂😂
??? Correlation is not causation
I mean, we'll always need fighter pilots, Bill.
Don’t worry about losing fans Bill. NOBODY will ever be as big a fan of Bill Maher than Bill Maher!
Hi Steven & Bill Maher - I just have to give you my own .02 cents worth. You two intelligent men need to give ELON MUSK his space to continue to grow. He is a CARING INTELLIGENT MAN, that is different from most wealthy people. I like and respect ELON for his fearless attitude. I love his honesty and his openness about his thinking. Thank you Stephen & Bill Maher, you both have my respect. From a fearless lady from Texas. 🤗❤️🫶
Hilarious...two multi-millionaires shitting on billionaires for having too much money....get the irony....😂😂😂
Bill avoiding the question instead of just being like “yeah the left is way harder to do comedy in front of” shows he’s not independent 😂
I appreciate Bills centrist take on the world, i dont always agree, but it's always good to hear a different perspective grounded in facts.
Both you guys will be more than okay no matter who’s in office. (:
My 2 favorite people! You’re knocking it out of the park Stephen A.
lmao you're fav 2 people are two out of touch rich guys?
@@Ainttrippin I'm not rich and I can relate. Plus I don't think they came from riches. They earned where they're at.
You cray 😂
@@Annapurna818 so according to you, my favorite people should be poor? I should only take advice of somebody who isn’t well off?
If you are a comic, why is every conversation you have about Trump; is that all you have? If so, retire.
Good work, guys.
Justin Trudeau popularity has nothing to do with woke. If you did any research on the matter, you would see that this follows a pattern that happens with each party after they’ve been in power for more than 2 terms. I think 4 other PMs have resigned in the not too distant past for loss in popularity.
Bill by "far right" do you mean common sense?
The first time I see 2 clocks together that get the time right 2wice a day...😂
Did you see that Eye???? It speaks "STROKE".
Magnificent Bill and Stephen A.
The twitter/X thing is not true. It was 70/30 to the left before Elon took over. It’s now 52/48
Bill really is not that smart of a man in my opinion. He’s a pseudo intellectual. his reasoning and logic are not always sound. There’s so many things that wto go into on this interview and point that out basically what happened to a guy who was kind of crazy liberal as he realized the shift was changing from that to a more common sense approach to life when he realize that he was on the wrong side for so long, he started floating into the middle, then blaming on the even more far left radicals that they were the problem. How could somebody say that the right is too religious if you are authentically religious the start with Christ how could you be too religious even to try to have an argument on that is crazy Bill is a fake and insecure fake.
One person having a trillion dillars is how we get to mars
lol lol lol lol
