Give me a break, Kamala was VP for the last four years, many people suspected she'd be running in 2024 way back even in 2020. Don't tell me we didn't have enough time to "get to know her".
Biden didn't have any accomplishments the entire 8 years he was VP. Didn't stop him from clinching the nomination. He on the other hand did have more than 100 days to make the case and 4 years of Trump so clearly doing jack and bombing the pandemic response that even the Trump campaign couldn't lie their way out of it. This time, things were a bit more nuanced.
I'm 60 and my generation talked about political opinions.... we never ever screamed insults or threats of violence with anyone that didnt hold the same values.....
@@mdarrenu Nope. It started with Reagan winning - and the laws he changed to allow fake journalism such as Fox (Faux) News. Just LYING THE WHOLE TIME AND MISINFORMING THE PUBLIC. And the racists FLOCKED to that.
She was a US Senator for a couple of years and a small blurb in the previous presidential race, hardly a household name. Nowhere near the level of awareness of a Donald Trump. I mentioned Trumps name in my high school yearbook senior quotes back in 1989. Most of what people thought they knew of Harris came from rumors, mostly bad ones.
America has two year-long presidential campaigns because we support the political media industrial complex. Our politics have become a major industry and way too many people are making way too much money from it.
I'm Canadian and I still live in Canada, but I will admit that I tell people my guilty pleasure is watching American politics 😂 it's an extensipn of your entertainment industry. I know it shouldn't be that way. But it is.
When I see Michael Douglas I remember being 12 or 13 years old, watching "The Streets of San Francisco" with Karl Malden, on TV late at night. Michael was a young man then. Bill Maher and I were little boys. Wow, it's amazing to see this.
I'm also a Michael fan of his acting, but he's the real problem too: America has turned on Democrats & Hollywood, for being too elitist. Who does Bill bring on to explain their loss? A Hollywood elitist. Here's a mirror for my Democrat friends: 🪞
I met Michael outside of a movie premiere once. He signed my phony one million dollar bill ("Wall Street" stuff). I said, "I love 'Wall Street.'" He replied, "Yeah. Alright." I burst into laughter with a few other people because it was so real. I loved it. It was the polite way of saying, "yeah, whatever." I don't want anyone to fake anything with me. He was already kind just by signing it, so I wasn't expecting more from him.
Absolutely our election cycles are way too long. Two years is utter insanity. In France they have 6 months elections and presidential elections are every 5 years. Other countries have shorter election cycles as well. In just two years we will start up with the next presidential election for 2028. It is just craziness . And all the unsolicited political texts and emails are beyond annoying as is the constant asking for money. Someone in Australia told me the citizens there are never asked for money donations from political campaigns. And we think we are the greatest country in the world?? We are not. In so many ways……
"Someone in Australia told me the citizens there are never asked for money donations from political campaigns." Someone is lying - we are asked. On the bright side, our federal-election cycle is 30 days.
I think this past election cycle proved what happens when the last guy has a 4 year campaign and is constantly in the news, while the VP has 107 days and barely had any mention outside of the state of the union. Sure the Republicans will come out to vote 100% of the time for whoever it is and without begging, but it isn’t the case with the Democrats.
I hear you. I have been a life long democrat, and I was getting on average 12-20 emails from Kamala and Tim's team begging me for money. I received roughly 2-3 texts a week verifying my vote. Then there were the Ballot Amendments in which some democrat rep was willing to bold face lie to me about how the amendments were worded. To which I told these people... "If you want my vote, simply stop lying to me!".
I was speaking with many students and very few know about “opium war” the 1st known documented use of drugs to destroy the country. We are target of a 2d “opium war“ and if you don’t know history/patterns how you will be able recognize what is going on to make rational decisions
Critical thinking is exactly how people strayed away from the Democrat message. It's on blast by the vast majority of news media outlets and it's taught at all levels of education. There is no conservative education in high school let alone college and grad school save for a small minority of schools. To stray away from that demonstrates a rejection of the ubiquitous Democrat messaging. Think about it, critically.
She came in last in the primary. She was a DEI hire as VP. She sucked and everyone knew it until she was anointed by the DNC. And then you were the enemy if you remembered she sucked smh
Democrats should have had a short primary (like Clooney suggested), but they didn't because this time they had a good excuse not to have any primary and to just anoint their favourite. Harris was party elite's bingo card candidate: half black, half Asian, and a woman with tough on crime work history. That didn't sell, because those are not important things for the people. DNC has had three times in row a party elite's favourite as the candidate and two of those have lost, and Biden made it only because of covid. Party elite does not really know what they are doing. Unfortunately this is ok for the big money doners and those are who the party elite listens to.
I was born in 1956. As a kid growing up in the 50's and 60's, coming of age in the 70's. I remember election times and the adults never discussed who they were voting for. They wore their campaign buttons and they voted. I never remember any adults getting shitty with others because they didn't wear the same button. It seemed to me that their choices were personal and sacried to them. There was no social media, podcasts or disinformation. Hell we only had four channels on T.V. and life was good. Any crazed lunatic can have a podcast. Social media is destroying our country/world 🌍
That doesn't make sense. Actually you would be even more uninformed because you would have access to only the propaganda and you wouldn't be able to realise it unlike today because of no alternative to other information outlet.
Because Bill prides himself on always being right he’s now being snarky abt Kamala’s failures. And it was not George Clooney. It was Nancy Pelosi that persuaded Biden to drop out.
The people who chose the predator over the prosecutor are the failures. Simple as that The world was watching to see what Americans morals are and you told us. It’s that you will chose a known fraud, convicted felon who brags about getting away with assault over a woman. Gives the impression Americans are not very smart and lack moral standards of any kind because hell, even Hitler drew the line at rape.
Not a single word about Maher's prediction on September 19th that "It's over for Trump." “It’ll be tied on Election Day,” said Maher. “The polls will be tied and then he’ll lose. That’s my prediction.”
I smell a rat anyway. I am sure Russia has been continuing its election interference. It'll all come out - and trump will have gotten away with murder, again.
He might have mentioned it in the actual show. Anyways…. I’ve always thought these so called correct predictions from political commentators is bs. They just throw a bunch of crap against a wall, and for the few things that stick, they remind everyone of over and over 🙄
@@hudsonumi yes but I'd like to see him admit that. He is always mouthing off on his opinion and saying "I told you so", but I never see him address his errors. It's like he goes on and on about Israel but never mentions the crap they have done to Palestinians.
@@gemelwalters2942 you don't get it ... He is always bragging about him being right. It's fine blowing your own horn every now and then but he never comes out and states how wrong he was. It's like he is afraid of that
Michael Douglas didn’t go on this show to promote anything, however, he did have something to promote, which I love. I have completed watching it. It is his timeless performance on AppleTV’s Franklin, a historical depiction of Benjamin Franklin’s role gaining the support of France during the American revolution. A lot of it is in French, there are subtitles. If you have some a high Duolingo score, this show is for you.
@@valerieladeda The good thing is that is such a compliment, not just the looks but on character and achievements. People tell me that as I get older I look like my dad more and more and it's not a good thing.
Man my first thought was he looks exactly like Kirk now. He always had the resemblance but he's grown to look more like his dad as he's getting older. And btw he still looks great.
What she mean by that? I Donated $250 to Harris campaign. Well that small dollar donor’s help reach millions of dollars for Harris. I can’t believe she worked at the White House.
This wasn't her point, but small dollar donors should keep their money and spend it on something else. These candidates already have more than enough money coming from big donors to fund anything they want to do when campaigning. I suspect that the main goal of attracting small dollar donors is not their money but to get them to become mentally invested in in the campaign. No matter how little they donate, by giving money, they now believe that they have a stake in that campaign and will be more receptive to voting and talking to others.
I thought I was the only one. Bill is that cranky b!tchy uncle who gets mad, complains and becomes frustrated when you challenge him and don’t kiss his a$$. I flip him the finger every time I see his condescending face.
I would like to add a memory of mine regarding Mr. Douglas's dad and his character Spartacus. Being born in the early 60s me and my brother fashioned wooden swords to do battle; after secretly watching Spartacus reruns on KVOS TV. Most often we would battle who was going to be Spartacus. After that we joined forces to battle the Romans (our older sister) a few years older than us, who would run away to get the Roman Army (our mom) to rescue her. It seems we could never win against the army (mom), we always got enslaved (more chores like actually washing dishes while standing on stools) as punishment. Or battles were real sometimes mom had taken me and my brother in for stitches. Dad would roll his eyes and shake his head and wave his finger at us and say there is enough war in the world without you two going at it. The oldest of us four, our much older brother, was our Secret Amour, made swords out of plywood and gave us old hockey helmets and gloves to wear that were too big. I wonder if the folks ever figured out how we made such good swords? I found out decades later our armourer put razor thin saw kerfs in the plywood swords so they would break so we could not beat each other to death, so I am told, I thought we were just too strong, like superman that's another story. The swords that did not break in a timely fashion we ended up with stitches. The Potato Gun wars were brutal; another story. We wore dads old scratch up safety goggles in the Potato Wars - the Irish vs the English. This VERY much frowned upon as dad was English with roots going back to King Edward the III time frame and mom was half Irish and half Finnish. We often formed a Irish gang to shoot dad with our potato guns, then hid them, then the potato guns disappeared never to return again soon after that.
So glad to see Bill veer back to the middle where many of us need to gather. Come closer to the fence that divides us so we can talk again about real problems that affect us all. The pendulum has swung about as far as it can go, thankfully.
BS Bill (@ 3:05)- people with all sorts of point of views DON'T come on your show. This show is all people from elitist backgrounds- there may be disagreements but at the end of the day they're all going to the same parties and we ain't invited.
Bill's BSing himself. Cannot see the Forrest of debate for the large leafy Marijuana plants of the left. His show, where he plays to his Lefty crowd, isn't 50-50 on the political spectrum.
meh. i always thought she was a typical politician. biggest appeal for me was [1] unlike trump, she was not a fas.cist. that's kinda really important for me, not being a fas.cist. and [2] biden had the most successful presidency in my life. i figured she'd carry on most of his policies. but more ppl wanted a fas.cist who had the worst presidency in history instead.
Not me, I voted for Harris but I wasn’t impressed with her campaign. But you have to look past campaign rhetoric and look at the facts, figures, and trends When you look at past trends, which is often the best predictor of future trends. Democrats have out performances Republicans overwhelmingly. Clinton out performed Bush, Obama out performed Bush, Biden outperformed trump. Look at the statistics and data.
and if Trump had lost, oh boy. Every GOP controlled state would be contesting the results and the usual suspects would be scheming and planning a way to throw the results out and leave it to the UnSupremes to decide. The only good to come out of this is not having to listen to Trump whine like a baby for four effing years.
Mike is kind of checked out these days! He can read lines just fine, but his mind doesn't work the same way it did a decade ago! Besides, I doubt Katherine allows him to have an opinion much.
His comment about undecided people is so true. How many people do we know that see Christmas decorations go up in the stores during Halloween AND STILL remember at the last moment that they need to go shopping for a loved one...lol.
Apparently, one question Kamala's team asked every podcast & interviewer's network, was "Do you edit?”. Joe (and others she didn't go on) said no. I'd be willing to bet the only ones she went on all said yes (60 Minutes for example).
according to Rogan, she did not want to travel to him and do the podcast, she wanted him to come to her studio. and she also wanted to do only 45 mins, not the ~2.5-3hrs that he usually does with guests. basically she couldn't bullshit her way through rehearsed talking points in 3 hours and was gonna run out of things to regurgitate.
She would've reached a lot of people. Millions. Rogan has something like the biggest podcast. My 19 year old son kept telling me she never showed up in his social media consumption. The only thing he saw on her was Mark Cuban's 15 second thing on how Trump wasn't honest. He kept telling me the campaign should be smarter online.
The problem with doing Rogan's podcast is it requires you to come out of your shell, and be honest. That was what Kamala's handlers were worried about! She needed this level of exposure, however, she was never presidential material to begin with, which is why she couldn't even get a single delegate in the 2016 primary!
@@tobybigham4196 --- Gonna have to disagree there. She'd have actually made for a fine President. "never Presidential material?" Yes, I can see where here positive outlook and upbeat demeanor would cause someone like you to think that. Donny, on the other hand, being a twice-impeached convicted felon who grifts his cultists constantly, who added nearly 8 Trillion to the nat debt in a mere 4 years, who has a long history of scumbaggery both in business and personal relations, is of course your idea of what constitutes Presidential material. May the coming 4 years see you again get the governance you deserve.
Bill's audience needs to be told that excess clapping and hooting will pollute the air and cause the plastic island to grow. It definitely ruins the experience of watching the show.
And they all sound like middle age bros that got dragged to the show by their wives and take any op to really support Maher's conservative jokes, which are coming at increased frequency these days.
@@honkoff99I heard that as well. He said that he was being bombarded by people saying, “are you sure?” He said, “No of course I don’t f@cking know!!!????
10:00 Trump was doing 4 and 5 rallies A DAY! Vance and Trump were going to several states a day in the closing week. 107 days is plenty of time to work her ass off to get a message out. This guy is crazy!
Bill, all due respect, this show should be done without an audience. A great dialogue begins but the the clapping and the whoohoos happen,,,,show content is so good,,,loss the audience
I heard someone the day before the election call Harris "the blue lady" because they literally did not know her name. Three months is a short amount of time, but some people are COMPLETELY tuned out. And it's hard to imagine for some of us.
@@maryannegunter115 Possibly. But I can remember when I was about 3 years old in '77, and my dad asking me if I knew who the president was. I answered, "Jimmy Carter!" You can stop random adults on the street now who don't know who the president is, was, or will be.
Hm, and here i thought she was the VP for the past 3+ years and was on the ticket before Biden withdrew. But yeah, let's just blame the short time, and not her inability or desire to go out there and meet with the press etc.
I guarantee that everyone that watches this show and its equivalents represent a TINY part of the electorate. They don’t know, they don’t care, they have no idea what people have done and why. They go in at Christmas Eve and buy the sales pitch from the shopkeeper.
If the perception of the economy is not in sync with the real economy- what’s at fault here? Do people not know the difference between information and knowledge. They can find information on their phones… knowledge means investing time to parse the information- be curious about it -find out what’s real.
Disinformation flooding the zone, many people don't know what's real or what to believe. You have Elon out here with his 200 million followers pushing insane lies and conspiracy theories. If we can't figure out how to fix the fracturing of how people consume information, we're doomed.
That's my point. You say Democrats looked down on the magas. but look at some of the idiotic responses forvwhy they voted him in! Education, research, information, verification should matter along with character. Again, who madecall the money and will continue to make money cause it won't be magistrate. You were hood winked out if your own money which he used for his own personal interests. I don't look down on anyone, but you gotta give me something reasonable to work with!
As an economist..... this could not be more true. Trump or whoever is advising him understands basic concepts and they're just taking advantage of up/downtrends. It's obvious the mass amount of people did not pay attention in the semester long course in high school. Trump will be praised for a convergence of trends. I now would consider using the same ideas to guide my main policy talking points based on the fact that people are simply stupid.
Listening to this smug idiotic John Heilemann insinuate that the American public are stupid....Kamala Harris was a terrible candidate who couldn't give a straight answer. WAKE UP and pop out of your bubble.
A lot of people think they are stupid. Many examples! I don't think whatever Kamala Harris was saying would make a difference because they weren't doing their research and paying attention.
@@lukeflyswatter3203 In the case of Kamala Harris all one needed to do was listen to her speak the same rehearsed lines aka word salad where she said nothing at all to know who to vote for.
The fact that Douglas came back on to do overtime, his father’s relationship with Bill must have had impact on Micheal. Great actor him and his father.
She had to campaign against Trump while at the same time, not turn against or make Biden "look bad". She was stuck in a difficult situation and unfortunately lost
All Joe had to do, if this party had any common sense, is to immediately tell Harris when he chose her, that she needs to do everything & anything to win. Including immediately, from the get go, point out that she was Vice President, not President. And to admit to errors openly, and then what she will do as president . She would always have done this respectfully. Biden's legacy is not more important than the country. And the democrats never point out their success - it is utterly ridiculous (in office & during the campaign) nor properly explaining worldwide economic issues at hand. They need a candidate that can actually sell.
Stuck in a position she gladly excepted. She thought her gender and color would get her over the top. Once she opened her mouth… well, you know the rest.
I like your point - most especially with this episode. There were at least a handful of times I was asking myself "what the hell are they clapping about?" The comment wasn't funny, wasn't clear, offered absolutely nothing to the discussion, and fell completely flat, and yet still, a big round of applause. I'm quite certain there's an orchestrated effort with a crew member and a "clap" or "applaud" message sign flashing at the studio crowd. However, I wonder if the guests are fed or offered set up jokes, or additional punch lines to BM's jokes to keep it light and funny, hence the instructions to the audience to react. I wonder how far down the roster BM had to go for this week's guests. I'd guess well north of 15 others didn't return their call(s) request or simply "couldn't make it this week". I'll add this thought as well: What would the panel have looked like this week if Kamala had secured the presidency. Wouldn't Rachel Maddow, Mark Cuban, and DeNiro be a funny collection? BM wouldn't have needed to call ANYONE. There'd be a line at the studio on Wednesday morning that wrapped around the building four times.
Um okay no - Bill had a whole thing last week on how Harris WASN'T the best candidate, but still better than Trump and the only non Trump option whether people liked it or not.
Harris did the best she could. Biden should not have sought re-election. There should have been people running against Harris and then, there would have been more time for her to prove herself. But I really think Harris would have won the primary anyway.
She had 3 1/2 years as vice president AND border czar to show people who she was, I don't believe for one min that not knowing who she was is a good reason for her failure. And why should I trust someone who has to pay millionaires to get on tv and tell me they are good people. No one has to give me a single thing to tell others that they are good folks.
Is bill maher ever wrong about anything?? he seems to know the solution to every problem, covid, Kamala, Biden, what the Dems should do... why isn't he running someone's campaign if he's so brilliant? I find his arrogance so off-putting. I watch the show for the debates and for the guests.
Introduce Kamala Harris to voters?? Current Vice President Kamala Harris?? The Kamala Harris who overwhelmingly lost the Democrat Primary?? WTF are you talking about??
If you have watched Bill as long as I have then you have heard him say..."I love to say I'm wrong because it means I am learning something". I HAVE NEVER ONCE HEARD HIM EVER SAY HE WAS WRONG! NOT ONE TIME EVER!!!!
sadly Bill Maher doesn't realise, that google searches where surging days before the election, in places like Mississippi and Alabama. Searches for “did Joe Biden drop out” rose exponentially Monday night as well. On Tuesday, terms like “is trump a republican,” “can you vote without registering” and “can i vote online” began to trend. “How long does it take to vote” is also currently trending, specifically in Arizona’s Maricopa County. Another fun popular search is “what color is republican.”
You’ve got to stop acting like she had any shot at winning this. She lost the popular vote and the electoral college. They had a bad 4 years in office, she wasn’t like able. The democrats really need to move back to just left of center if they really want to govern this country again. It’s all a big game, and they don’t seem to know how to play it anymore.
JFC. I would say we get what we deserve, but you, me, and many others don't deserve this. We don't deserve a fascist dictator because people are stupid.
Bill mentioned the “Did Biden drop out?” Google search during the full show; specifically in beginning during his one on one with Michael Douglas just after the monologue.
You mean falling out of a coconut tree wasn’t a convincing argument to get to know her better? Then when I said out loud I can’t vote for that, I had insults hurled at me , people trying to cancel me, like is that supposed to convince me more? What a turn off. And by the way, I don’t think I’ve ever voted for someone faster. Because once I’m inside that voting booth & I prepare that pen,,,, with one single stroke, I erased that cancel culture. The screaming insults stopped screaming. I realized just how powerful my vote became. It was in that moment,I knew I hit the sweet spot. Kamala was gone
Because Bill refused to do it , I therefore will publically praise Micheal Douglas for both 'Streets of San 'Francisco' and 'Romancing the Stone' . Both projects were hugely popular and made him a super star. Those other movies came AFTER he was famous.
I've never even heard of Streets Of San Francisco. One of the first things he ever worked on was One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest - he was a movie producer before he was much of an actor.
@@hkgcgsdhjgd Your comment epitomized why Harris lost. Anyone criticizing a woman is called a "misogynist" or some other inflammatory pejorative, whether or not their criticism was valid. It's just silly and not a winning argument. In fact, it's not an argument at all. It's an ancient rhetorical tactic (ad hominem attack) that's used when you have no logical argument to offer.
That's the problem - you donated once. That gets you on text and email lists you'll never get off of (well maybe if you keep clicking no / unsubscribe and block). It's like they punish people for donating, by constant spam after that.
@@tinaperez7393I tried blocking those texts but it doesn’t work. It blocks that one number but then your number just gets forwarded on to another number and then you get more political texts asking for money. The cycle is endless. It’s utterly exhausting going through these elections…. And it’s every two years …and it lasts two full years! It’s craziness.
Kamala need to spend more time at those BordertownS That slipped red for the first time in over 100 years and it was mostly Hispanic voters who were just fed up with the border crisis. And it would not have hurt her to go on Joe Rogan‘s podcast. Where unfortunately Most of Americans get their news now.
The biggest loss we’ve had this election cycle was an understanding appreciation for objective facts. Biden wasn’t a “disaster” for the US economy, for example. Trump repeated that it was endlessly and people like Sarah repeated it, but that doesn’t make it true.
Yes. He inherited an economy that was essentially closed when he took office. I am not saying it hasn’t been tough on many people, but it wasn’t his policies that caused it. If anything; we’ve had the best recovery of any other country. I believe we would be far worse off if Trump had been in office the past few years.
The US election system is ridiculous…goes on for years and wasted billions of dollars! I’m Canadian and have never nor will ever donate to a political party. Once an election is called it’s a matter of months not years until voting day which in my 40+ yrs has never taken more than 10-15 minutes to cast. I know American loves to maintain tradition and if written by the founding fathers,2nd Amendment!,then it’s gospel. America…time to make adjustments when something is so obviously fraught with issues.
The problem for the US is that we know when every election will be till the end of time and there can't be any sooner, This predictability allows for that process. Plus that there are only 2 parties and no real coalition that make up those parties.
Agree, the swing state voters should verify that it was counted and not changed. It's too much of a landslide, which doesn't prompt a recount. It really is suspect....
Biden would've lost even worse. Kamala got lots of first time voters excited, mostly women, but unfortunately it wasn't enough to overcome the very basic principle which is that Americans would rather vote for the entertaining POS than the boring woman. The drug of the cult of used car salesmanship is too strong
Biden is too old. His public appearances did not inspire confidence in people. George Clooney is right that even in the past four years, Biden showed less of a command physically.
He said that was his guess and feeling, not that he'd be right necessarily - it was his GUESS. He said absolutely Trump could still win. He also did a big piece on the last minute voter last week - where he fully acknowledged Harris's weaknesses (just that Trump was still worse and she was all we had other than him).
I’m already sick of hearing people blaming Biden for the loss. The loss wasn’t his fault. The loss was the fault of the party for nominating Biden in 2020 when he wasn’t who we wanted. He was who the party leaders wanted. Just like Hillary, who also got the same damn results. Let us pick who we actually fkn want, and maybe we’ll fkn win.
This is all on Biden. Shouldn’t have been running to begin with. Then gave Kamala with impossible challenge. Also doesn’t help he doesn’t know what planet he’s on
So agreed. Trump and maga voters themselves were saying they hated Hillary but they liked Sanders and were actually considering voting for him. But the incredibly out of touch, tone deaf democratic party leaders were deadest on Hillary and kneecapped Sanders. When so many people - even on the left were aying she was too unpopular and divisive. I mean my God, the Clintons overstayed their welcome on the national level long ago, Bill himself helped create NAFTA AND the 2008 housing crisis, etc etc but hubris and ambition blinded them and Hillary from understanding the pulse of the country outside their bubble.
Do you remember the line up that ran with him though. I’ve never in my life and I’m old , felt such humiliation for our country ( well till Harris)as the lot that was running- Pete B alone… they all looked like people that worked at Sears. If Kennedy hadn’t come into the picture and given us hope … I’ve never felt that frightened for my grandchildren’s future . And then it got even worse- Harris. Anyway, that’s why I voted Biden at the time - he was the least of all evils. At least he looked like presidential material
Question to Kamala, would you do anything different from Biden on immigration? No, I'd do the same thing. And people have surprised Pikachu face, how could this happen?
I appreciated the program and loved your mix of guests and their views. On a tangential note, you've uncovered a lot of fast thinking, probably have an uncle who was a genius, types through your comments. Reminds me of someone else who can figure out stuff really fast...? I'm so overstretched emotionally over our politics, not sure I can be coherent right now - but something f'ing needs to change - get the f'ing $$$ out - oh yea, we can't, the rich people like the system the way it is, and the supremely corrupt court already gave it to them a decade ago. And they aren't going to change, nobody can make them - they reign supreme. Love Michael Douglas, interesting to hear his view on all this. Thanks for being out there where we can hear you - Bill and entire panel - it is important.
@@KARW37 Exactly. She showed zero humility because she has none. Like she said on the View, She wouldn't change a thing. And that was the absolute nail in the coffin. If she coulda hit the softballs they were throwing at her, she probably would've won
I was one of those people who canvassed. A lot of people did bring up the fact that they thought of women wasn't tough enough to do the job. Sexism is real quit pretending.
A woman is actually stronger than a man because a woman goes through childbirth, which is painful and which a man would never be able to handle. There have been many strong women leaders throughout history. People are ignorant.
If Democrats blame this loss on sexism they will never address the core issues within the party, and are far dumber than I thought. The Democrats didn't lose this election because Kamala has a vagina, to genuinely believe this is scary
You are so right. Likely half the country will never elect a woman .... and three quarters of those will NEVER even consider a black person. We are racist/sexist or sexist/racist? Yes.
That's not necessarily sexism. Lots of women believe a woman shouldn't be president. Does that mean those women hate women? A lot of people have a fixed idea of gender roles. That doesn't mean they hate anybody. Why is every belief construed as hate in some fashion?
@MaxwellAlexander0444 So? I held a TS clearance in the Army and with the State dept.. Docs like that got locked up when I was done with them. They werent left on tables for the janitorial staff to peruse nor carried to any location where EVERYONE in the area was not cleared. SCIF docs in particular DO NOT, NOT, NOT, NOT! Leave the SCIF. I had protracted briefings on how to protect docs even from being photographed at a distance thru a window. Agents using advanced mikes to pick up your conversations about them in closed rooms by reading the vibrations of the windows. But Trump's lugging them around like a 4th grader's biology homework and comic books? I also made quite sure i had nothing when I left those jobs. He was entitled to NOTHING after leaving office.
Any classified document, regardless of its required level of security clearance is deemed unclassified merely by Trump taking them with him on his way out of office. That said, I think what you might be trying to get at is, what's the information is those documents & why is it worth taking with you.
i have to laugh at this ladies bs: That Joe Biden "chose" to drop out of the race and Harris was set up for failure. Pure BS. Joe did not want to drop out he was forced to do so. Only reason it did not happen sooner was to give a free shot for Harris who would not have ever one a primary.
No, they are dying. I hope I can see this comment in 2034 and say that MSM hasn’t been around for years. It’s dead, ratings dropped 60% in the past 6 years alone. It’s over. The future of the US is red because you cannot contain the speech without overriding the boundaries of authoritarianism. The democrats are facing a critical failure unless they abandon their current messaging, which how will they? Team Blue is cooked badly right now.
When Bill stated that people are tired of listening to celebrities and their views I thought at this point arent they all? Example, who does he have on the show tonight? Michael Douglas and then proceeds to ask him his views. Bill himself is a celebrity. News people and politicians (right and left) are now celebrities appearing on talk shows and shows like Entertainment Tonight. Hell, the one elected president was/is a celebrity himself appearing on all of those shows and even had his own. The line between the two blurred years ago.
I hear you- one of my favorites is the word “elite “ I no more think if anyone in Hollywood ( on tv period) as elite… Rich is more confused with class to people that are immature.
To be fair, I think there are still some valuable opinions that can be expressed by people who happen to work in the entertainment industry. I think Maher is referring more to mindless celebrity endorsements
Bill is completely missing the point that it was 3 months for Kamala vs a year for Trump. Everytime someone brings up 3 months Bill goes into 3 months of campaigning is sufficient rant, which is not the point here.
I agree that 3 months should be the norm, but we've known the orangutan for decades and unless you're a news junkie or old school tv watcher, people don't know her.
C'mon Trump has been running for office since 2015, and did a great job of marketing, he was on TV everyday. Biden passed a lot of important legislation, but did not market his accomplishments, and wasn't on TV every day. The democrats need to do a better job of marketing.
Especially the reach Trump had on all the podcasts...lasting hours and getting to personally know him. I can't recall one podcast showing up in my feeds showing Kamala. And you'd think Google, run by liberals, would have pushed them.
Biden and Harris passed the American Rescue, Inflation Reduction, Chips and other acts. All of these acts took money from middle class taxpayers and gave it to the ultra rich to do green energy projects involving solar, wind , hydrogen , batteries , EVs . The bills pick winners and losers by choosing who gets subsidized. Instead let companies build their own factories and compete. Let companies build their own chip factories. The American Rescue act took trillions of dollars from taxpayers and gave it to state and local government so they could boost salaries, pensions and benefits and do some construction . Government employees already are overpaid and few private sector people have any pensions . Billions went to NGOs and Catholic "charities" to arrange for millions of people to cross our borders and give them free housing, cash, medical assistance and everything else. The people that ran these NGOs have made a fortune.
A choice between Fascism and Democracy does not require marketing. An informed electorate vs one bombarded with propaganda via KGB. Education is fundamental. Semper Fi.
@@Jon-x3cthe way the Democrats pushed Bernie out of the elections since 2016 and then forced Kamala on us this year, you don't think there is a problem with that too that some people may consider fascist as well. And I can even go back to 2008, but Obama was just too popular and it took 2016 for the DNC to push Hillary on us again? Do you think Kamala would just be a puppet of the DNC and continue their forever war policies and ignore that even though the stock market is soaring, ordinary Americans are still seeing everything cost double the price and wages are not nearly keeping up. Plus, most new jobs are governmental?
Not if we go into a deflationary depression which is my guess, if he does all the things he talked about and runs up 7 trillion in budget deficits based on CBO scoring.

I never heard of JD Vance before he was VP and 3 hours was enough for me to have a good grasp of who he was.
Unfortunately you're right
Yeah he's a pretty articulate and charismatic guy
You just weren't paying attention then because when his book and movie came out he was all over the place, including the left wing media
@@JulesR963 JD Vance annihilated Walz in the debate.
Not in a good way. Also, he had written a book about his life that was made into a movie.
Give me a break, Kamala was VP for the last four years, many people suspected she'd be running in 2024 way back even in 2020. Don't tell me we didn't have enough time to "get to know her".
Her problem was that people actually got to know her
Right?? She is our current VP, and was VP the last FOUR YEARS! She doesn't have a single accomplishment that I can think of.
People hated her in 2020 and just making her smile more and have weird sayings wasn’t going to change the fact America didn’t want her
You tripping because I forgot she was even VP till Biden dropped out. I didn't know her like that to be honest.
Biden didn't have any accomplishments the entire 8 years he was VP. Didn't stop him from clinching the nomination. He on the other hand did have more than 100 days to make the case and 4 years of Trump so clearly doing jack and bombing the pandemic response that even the Trump campaign couldn't lie their way out of it.
This time, things were a bit more nuanced.

She was a US Senator for a couple of years and a small blurb in the previous presidential race, hardly a household name. Nowhere near the level of awareness of a Donald Trump.

When I see Michael Douglas I remember being 12 or 13 years old, watching "The Streets of San Francisco" with Karl Malden, on TV late at night. Michael was a young man then. Bill Maher and I were little boys. Wow, it's amazing to see this.
Yes, I loved Douglas on that show
Me too. I stared watching everything g he did after that. Such a brilliant actor.
I met Michael Douglas when he was filming “The Streets of San Francisco”gave me his autograph. A Very nice person.

The Game is one of the most underrated movies Michael is so good in it
I watch it once a year. Great movie and it is strange that its director - David Fincher - hates it!
Great film
One of his best!
I'm also a Michael fan of his acting, but he's the real problem too: America has turned on Democrats & Hollywood, for being too elitist. Who does Bill bring on to explain their loss? A Hollywood elitist. Here's a mirror for my Democrat friends: 🪞
If you like "the Game", look up the original British version "The One Game"
I met Michael outside of a movie premiere once. He signed my phony one million dollar bill ("Wall Street" stuff).
I said, "I love 'Wall Street.'"
He replied, "Yeah. Alright." I burst into laughter with a few other people because it was so real. I loved it. It was the polite way of saying, "yeah, whatever."
I don't want anyone to fake anything with me. He was already kind just by signing it, so I wasn't expecting more from him.
Micheal Douglas is looking good! Glad to see him doing well

Absolutely our election cycles are way too long. Two years is utter insanity. In France they have 6 months elections and presidential elections are every 5 years. Other countries have shorter election cycles as well. In just two years we will start up with the next presidential election for 2028. It is just craziness . And all the unsolicited political texts and emails are beyond annoying as is the constant asking for money. Someone in Australia told me the citizens there are never asked for money donations from political campaigns. And we think we are the greatest country in the world?? We are not. In so many ways……
"Someone in Australia told me the citizens there are never asked for money donations from political campaigns."
Someone is lying - we are asked. On the bright side, our federal-election cycle is 30 days.
Except for a great place to make money, the country is sad joke.
As of this time, 61 likes and zero comments. That explains America to a tee.
I think this past election cycle proved what happens when the last guy has a 4 year campaign and is constantly in the news, while the VP has 107 days and barely had any mention outside of the state of the union.
Sure the Republicans will come out to vote 100% of the time for whoever it is and without begging, but it isn’t the case with the Democrats.
I hear you. I have been a life long democrat, and I was getting on average 12-20 emails from Kamala and Tim's team begging me for money. I received roughly 2-3 texts a week verifying my vote. Then there were the Ballot Amendments in which some democrat rep was willing to bold face lie to me about how the amendments were worded. To which I told these people... "If you want my vote, simply stop lying to me!".

How about the American Education system and Critical thinking ….?
Yes where is Bill Maher.
Defunded by austerity (for you, not for them) politics.
I think it’s better said lack of education
I was speaking with many students and very few know about “opium war” the 1st known documented use of drugs to destroy the country. We are target of a 2d “opium war“ and if you don’t know history/patterns how you will be able recognize what is going on to make rational decisions
Critical thinking is exactly how people strayed away from the Democrat message. It's on blast by the vast majority of news media outlets and it's taught at all levels of education. There is no conservative education in high school let alone college and grad school save for a small minority of schools. To stray away from that demonstrates a rejection of the ubiquitous Democrat messaging. Think about it, critically.
She did primary. She was dead last. She was VP for four years after being a senator from California. She's had an entire career to make herself known.
she didn’t even deserve to be VP. public did not like her at all.
I heard of trump in the early 80s and I thought he was a disgusting racist, cheapskate asshole back then. Sooooooo....
She came in last in the primary. She was a DEI hire as VP. She sucked and everyone knew it until she was anointed by the DNC. And then you were the enemy if you remembered she sucked smh
Democrats should have had a short primary (like Clooney suggested), but they didn't because this time they had a good excuse not to have any primary and to just anoint their favourite. Harris was party elite's bingo card candidate: half black, half Asian, and a woman with tough on crime work history. That didn't sell, because those are not important things for the people. DNC has had three times in row a party elite's favourite as the candidate and two of those have lost, and Biden made it only because of covid. Party elite does not really know what they are doing. Unfortunately this is ok for the big money doners and those are who the party elite listens to.
That's exactly what I was thinking the ENTIRE time! Everyone knew who she was BEFORE the election cycle!!!
I was born in 1956. As a kid growing up in the 50's and 60's, coming of age in the 70's. I remember election times and the adults never discussed who they were voting for. They wore their campaign buttons and they voted. I never remember any adults getting shitty with others because they didn't wear the same button. It seemed to me that their choices were personal and sacried to them. There was no social media, podcasts or disinformation. Hell we only had four channels on T.V. and life was good. Any crazed lunatic can have a podcast. Social media is destroying our country/world 🌍
That doesn't make sense. Actually you would be even more uninformed because you would have access to only the propaganda and you wouldn't be able to realise it unlike today because of no alternative to other information outlet.
Because Bill prides himself on always being right he’s now being snarky abt Kamala’s failures. And it was not George Clooney. It was Nancy Pelosi that persuaded Biden to drop out.
Persuaded?
@ I wasn’t there. You know the msm, you never know the truth, just their version of it..
You think Biden would have won?? 😂😂😂
Joe was so convinced
The people who chose the predator over the prosecutor are the failures.
Simple as that

It’s that you will chose a known fraud, convicted felon who brags about getting away with assault over a woman.
Gives the impression Americans are not very smart and lack moral standards of any kind because hell, even Hitler drew the line at rape.
Not a single word about Maher's prediction on September 19th that "It's over for Trump."

Michael Douglas didn’t go on this show to promote anything, however, he did have something to promote, which I love. I have completed watching it. It is his timeless performance on AppleTV’s Franklin, a historical depiction of Benjamin Franklin’s role gaining the support of France during the American revolution. A lot of it is in French, there are subtitles. If you have some a high Duolingo score, this show is for you.

Was that woman actually criticising small dollar donors? 😳
Sounds it...I was one, at least I donated!
If they’re democrats, sure, that’s been their strategy. Criticize anything that they do. This resonates with the electorate.
What she mean by that? I Donated $250 to Harris campaign. Well that small dollar donor’s help reach millions of dollars for Harris. I can’t believe she worked at the White House.
she's literally a Trump administration official who defended family separation and putting kids in cages. She's the definition of a cunt.
This wasn't her point, but small dollar donors should keep their money and spend it on something else. These candidates already have more than enough money coming from big donors to fund anything they want to do when campaigning.
I suspect that the main goal of attracting small dollar donors is not their money but to get them to become mentally invested in in the campaign. No matter how little they donate, by giving money, they now believe that they have a stake in that campaign and will be more receptive to voting and talking to others.
why does he make the crowd applaud so fucking much its cringe as hell.
He gets angry if they don’t applaud him -that’s real freedom, right?

You're cringe.

Sarah was on fire dropping bomb after bomb, punctuate by, "Then the conservatives will out breed you!"
I would like to add a memory of mine regarding Mr. Douglas's dad and his character Spartacus. Being born in the early 60s me and my brother fashioned wooden swords to do battle; after secretly watching Spartacus reruns on KVOS TV.
Most often we would battle who was going to be Spartacus.
After that we joined forces to battle the Romans (our older sister) a few years older than us, who would run away to get the Roman Army (our mom) to rescue her. It seems we could never win against the army (mom), we always got enslaved (more chores like actually washing dishes while standing on stools) as punishment.
Or battles were real sometimes mom had taken me and my brother in for stitches. Dad would roll his eyes and shake his head and wave his finger at us and say there is enough war in the world without you two going at it.
The oldest of us four, our much older brother, was our Secret Amour, made swords out of plywood and gave us old hockey helmets and gloves to wear that were too big. I wonder if the folks ever figured out how we made such good swords?
I found out decades later our armourer put razor thin saw kerfs in the plywood swords so they would break so we could not beat each other to death, so I am told, I thought we were just too strong, like superman that's another story.
The swords that did not break in a timely fashion we ended up with stitches.
The Potato Gun wars were brutal; another story. We wore dads old scratch up safety goggles in the Potato Wars - the Irish vs the English. This VERY much frowned upon as dad was English with roots going back to King Edward the III time frame and mom was half Irish and half Finnish. We often formed a Irish gang to shoot dad with our potato guns, then hid them, then the potato guns disappeared never to return again soon after that.
Audience hollering is annoying and too much

and [2] biden had the most successful presidency in my life. i figured she'd carry on most of his policies.
but more ppl wanted a fas.cist who had the worst presidency in history instead.
Not me, I voted for Harris but I wasn’t impressed with her campaign. But you have to look past campaign rhetoric and look at the facts, figures, and trends When you look at past trends, which is often the best predictor of future trends. Democrats have out performances Republicans overwhelmingly. Clinton out performed Bush, Obama out performed Bush, Biden outperformed trump. Look at the statistics and data.
and if Trump had lost, oh boy. Every GOP controlled state would be contesting the results and the usual suspects would be scheming and planning a way to throw the results out and leave it to the UnSupremes to decide. The only good to come out of this is not having to listen to Trump whine like a baby for four effing years.

For Sarah saying Kamala was set up to fail, why didn't she go on with Rogan? How many people could she have reached going on his podcast?
Apparently, one question Kamala's team asked every podcast & interviewer's network, was "Do you edit?”. Joe (and others she didn't go on) said no. I'd be willing to bet the only ones she went on all said yes (60 Minutes for example).
according to Rogan, she did not want to travel to him and do the podcast, she wanted him to come to her studio. and she also wanted to do only 45 mins, not the ~2.5-3hrs that he usually does with guests. basically she couldn't bullshit her way through rehearsed talking points in 3 hours and was gonna run out of things to regurgitate.
She would've reached a lot of people. Millions. Rogan has something like the biggest podcast.
My 19 year old son kept telling me she never showed up in his social media consumption.
The only thing he saw on her was Mark Cuban's 15 second thing on how Trump wasn't honest. He kept telling me the campaign should be smarter online.
The problem with doing Rogan's podcast is it requires you to come out of your shell, and be honest. That was what Kamala's handlers were worried about! She needed this level of exposure, however, she was never presidential material to begin with, which is why she couldn't even get a single delegate in the 2016 primary!
@@tobybigham4196 --- Gonna have to disagree there. She'd have actually made for a fine President. "never Presidential material?"

Hm, and here i thought she was the VP for the past 3+ years and was on the ticket before Biden withdrew. But yeah, let's just blame the short time, and not her inability or desire to go out there and meet with the press etc.
I guarantee that everyone that watches this show and its equivalents represent a TINY part of the electorate. They don’t know, they don’t care, they have no idea what people have done and why. They go in at Christmas Eve and buy the sales pitch from the shopkeeper.
If the perception of the economy is not in sync with the real economy- what’s at fault here? Do people not know the difference between information and knowledge. They can find information on their phones… knowledge means investing time to parse the information- be curious about it -find out what’s real.
Love your comment ! Very well said . Use of the word parse was enlightening .
Disinformation flooding the zone, many people don't know what's real or what to believe. You have Elon out here with his 200 million followers pushing insane lies and conspiracy theories. If we can't figure out how to fix the fracturing of how people consume information, we're doomed.

As an economist..... this could not be more true.
Trump or whoever is advising him understands basic concepts and they're just taking advantage of up/downtrends. It's obvious the mass amount of people did not pay attention in the semester long course in high school.
Trump will be praised for a convergence of trends. I now would consider using the same ideas to guide my main policy talking points based on the fact that people are simply stupid.

@@lukeflyswatter3203 In the case of Kamala Harris all one needed to do was listen to her speak the same rehearsed lines aka word salad where she said nothing at all to know who to vote for.
The fact that Douglas came back on to do overtime, his father’s relationship with Bill must have had impact on Micheal. Great actor him and his father.
She had to campaign against Trump while at the same time, not turn against or make Biden "look bad". She was stuck in a difficult situation and unfortunately lost
Unfortunately, America lost.
Keep making excuses for Kamala being a horrible candidate.
All Joe had to do, if this party had any common sense, is to immediately tell Harris when he chose her, that she needs to do everything & anything to win. Including immediately, from the get go, point out that she was Vice President, not President. And to admit to errors openly, and then what she will do as president . She would always have done this respectfully. Biden's legacy is not more important than the country. And the democrats never point out their success - it is utterly ridiculous (in office & during the campaign) nor properly explaining worldwide economic issues at hand. They need a candidate that can actually sell.
Stuck in a position she gladly excepted. She thought her gender and color would get her over the top. Once she opened her mouth… well, you know the rest.
Why could she not make Biden look bad?
John Heilemann’s facial expressions on Real Time were ABSOLUTELY PRICELESS 😂😂😂😂
Watch him with Russel Brand on MSNBC... what an idiot!
Someone tell me what the F John was talking about please
God, he can go on.
Love John Heilemann. He’s an intelligent man who knows a lot about television, politics and social media.
Why is no one mentioning Elon Musk and Putin and how they interfered in the election?

I heard them fine

I am totally deaf and I hear him fine.
WHOO!
WHOOO HOOO!
I like your point - most especially with this episode. There were at least a handful of times I was asking myself "what the hell are they clapping about?" The comment wasn't funny, wasn't clear, offered absolutely nothing to the discussion, and fell completely flat, and yet still, a big round of applause.
I'm quite certain there's an orchestrated effort with a crew member and a "clap" or "applaud" message sign flashing at the studio crowd. However, I wonder if the guests are fed or offered set up jokes, or additional punch lines to BM's jokes to keep it light and funny, hence the instructions to the audience to react.
I wonder how far down the roster BM had to go for this week's guests. I'd guess well north of 15 others didn't return their call(s) request or simply "couldn't make it this week".
I'll add this thought as well: What would the panel have looked like this week if Kamala had secured the presidency. Wouldn't Rachel Maddow, Mark Cuban, and DeNiro be a funny collection?
BM wouldn't have needed to call ANYONE. There'd be a line at the studio on Wednesday morning that wrapped around the building four times.
Bill said Trump would loose now that he didn't Harris is a terrible candidate.
It's lose but you're right. He's a punk for not owning his prediction.
Um okay no - Bill had a whole thing last week on how Harris WASN'T the best candidate, but still better than Trump and the only non Trump option whether people liked it or not.
She was, she is, she will be.
Harris did the best she could. Biden should not have sought re-election. There should have been people running against Harris and then, there would have been more time for her to prove herself. But I really think Harris would have won the primary anyway.
@@RocStarr913she would've lost the primary to governor Gruesome
She had 3 1/2 years as vice president AND border czar to show people who she was, I don't believe for one min that not knowing who she was is a good reason for her failure. And why should I trust someone who has to pay millionaires to get on tv and tell me they are good people. No one has to give me a single thing to tell others that they are good folks.
Please never have Sarah back on. She was cringe and vapid
She was last time too

The more she talked, the more her numbers dropped. She started much stronger than she ended. More time? Jesus.

The Game, War of the Roses, Wall Street, An American President, Falling Down - thanks for those especially and so many other ones Michael.
sadly Bill Maher doesn't realise, that google searches where surging days before the election, in places like Mississippi and Alabama. Searches for “did Joe Biden drop out” rose exponentially Monday night as well. On Tuesday, terms like “is trump a republican,” “can you vote without registering” and “can i vote online” began to trend. “How long does it take to vote” is also currently trending, specifically in Arizona’s Maricopa County. Another fun popular search is “what color is republican.”
You’ve got to stop acting like she had any shot at winning this. She lost the popular vote and the electoral college. They had a bad 4 years in office, she wasn’t like able. The democrats really need to move back to just left of center if they really want to govern this country again. It’s all a big game, and they don’t seem to know how to play it anymore.
That people that ignorant are voting is appalling
JFC. I would say we get what we deserve, but you, me, and many others don't deserve this. We don't deserve a fascist dictator because people are stupid.
Bill mentioned the “Did Biden drop out?” Google search during the full show; specifically in beginning during his one on one with Michael Douglas just after the monologue.
@@Ward413 yeah, he knows how people are.
Ger her out of here, She is mostly wrong or bad. Why have her on the show????
She is obnoxious
Maher probably wants to sleep with her.
Absolutely unlistenable.
lol this proves everyone's point. the younger generation simply cannot tolerate hearing anything that they don't agree with or like. Grow up!
I disagree. She brings up some excellent points. You can't censor people you don't agree with
Lame show tonight, considering what’s gone down this week.
Yep. I remember the Bill Maher episode the Friday after the 2016 election, and it was one of his best ever.
He’s getting more lame all the time. I canceled MAX.
Totally agree. Lame AF tonight
@@afridgetoofar1818 Was a different format then too. More guests. 3 person panel. Isgur annoyingly consumed all the oxygen in this one.
yeah, it was kinda dull considering the material to work with
You mean falling out of a coconut tree wasn’t a convincing argument to get to know her better? Then when I said out loud I can’t vote for that, I had insults hurled at me , people trying to cancel me, like is that supposed to convince me more? What a turn off. And by the way, I don’t think I’ve ever voted for someone faster. Because once I’m inside that voting booth & I prepare that pen,,,, with one single stroke, I erased that cancel culture. The screaming insults stopped screaming. I realized just how powerful my vote became. It was in that moment,I knew I hit the sweet spot. Kamala was gone
Not the show we needed.
plenty of time to talk about trump for the next 4 years
💯. So disappointed. I actually thought I’d glean some insight and a little bit of hope. 🤷♀️
I love Michael Douglas ! One of my first crushes on a movie star! Romancing the stone is still one of my favorite movies.
Because Bill refused to do it , I therefore will publically praise Micheal Douglas for both 'Streets of San 'Francisco' and 'Romancing the Stone' . Both projects were hugely popular and made him a super star. Those other movies came AFTER he was famous.
He was always famous he's Kirk's son
I've never even heard of Streets Of San Francisco.
One of the first things he ever worked on was One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest - he was a movie producer before he was much of an actor.
A candidate who is a Vice President for 4 yrs, if she needs more time for introduction, she doesn't deserve it.
I like michael douglas a lot, he has a lot of class.
Why does this woman feel the need to use fowl language and throw F-bombs around? Is she not able to articulate herself so she needs some shock value?
She's very shouting too....
Plenty of guests swear on this show, and Bill himself certainly swears plenty, but I don’t see you calling them out. Do you just hate women?
@@hkgcgsdhjgd Your comment epitomized why Harris lost. Anyone criticizing a woman is called a "misogynist" or some other inflammatory pejorative, whether or not their criticism was valid. It's just silly and not a winning argument. In fact, it's not an argument at all. It's an ancient rhetorical tactic (ad hominem attack) that's used when you have no logical argument to offer.

@@user-nx5yg6vv3o I'm not sure how you 'articulate' yourself.... sounds dangerous, even painful!
He is right about the knocking on my door! And omg the texts!!! I donated already!
That's the problem - you donated once. That gets you on text and email lists you'll never get off of (well maybe if you keep clicking no / unsubscribe and block).
It's like they punish people for donating, by constant spam after that.
In the olden days you got guys knocking once or twice but now it's pamphlets that get recycled, million texts and spam calls. Has to be a better way.
And if you donate once, they never stop asking you to donate again! So annoying
@@tinaperez7393I tried blocking those texts but it doesn’t work. It blocks that one number but then your number just gets forwarded on to another number and then you get more political texts asking for money. The cycle is endless. It’s utterly exhausting going through these elections…. And it’s every two years …and it lasts two full years! It’s craziness.
Kamala need to spend more time at those BordertownS That slipped red for the first time in over 100 years and it was mostly Hispanic voters who were just fed up with the border crisis. And it would not have hurt her to go on Joe Rogan‘s podcast. Where unfortunately Most of Americans get their news now.
Kamala was literally the VP for over 3 years 😅
The biggest loss we’ve had this election cycle was an understanding appreciation for objective facts. Biden wasn’t a “disaster” for the US economy, for example. Trump repeated that it was endlessly and people like Sarah repeated it, but that doesn’t make it true.
Agree with me or you’re ignorant! Typical lefty. Enjoy the next four years! Vance/Gabbard 2028!
Did you just say biden wasn't terrible for the economy?
Lemming
Yes. He inherited an economy that was essentially closed when he took office. I am not saying it hasn’t been tough on many people, but it wasn’t his policies that caused it. If anything; we’ve had the best recovery of any other country. I believe we would be far worse off if Trump had been in office the past few years.

Once an election is called it’s a matter of months not years until voting day which in my 40+ yrs has never taken more than 10-15 minutes to cast.
I know American loves to maintain tradition and if written by the founding fathers,2nd Amendment!,then it’s gospel.
America…time to make adjustments when something is so obviously fraught with issues.
Nah
That's capitalism... squeezing every cent out of us.
The problem for the US is that we know when every election will be till the end of time and there can't be any sooner, This predictability allows for that process. Plus that there are only 2 parties and no real coalition that make up those parties.
Oh, and if you don’t vote you can’t bitch. They make it so easy to vote, no excuse not to. Oh, we register, but not who are “party” is
I do wish they’d cap donations but you can’t really compare Canadian politics to the US, friend

Do something useful other than complain. Use your platform to have people check that their votes were counted.

@@hooksx The election was lost after that first debate. Biden couldn't have won.
Biden would've lost even worse. Kamala got lots of first time voters excited, mostly women, but unfortunately it wasn't enough to overcome the very basic principle which is that Americans would rather vote for the entertaining POS than the boring woman. The drug of the cult of used car salesmanship is too strong
Biden is too old. His public appearances did not inspire confidence in people. George Clooney is right that even in the past four years, Biden showed less of a command physically.
The results with Biden running would be slightly different, but it would still be a loss.
Sara Isgur is annoying and over talks everyone!!! Let Michael Douglass Talk without talking over him!!!!!!
NZ and Aussie election cycle is about three months. USA seems to be 15 minutes after the last election result until voting day.
I think Americans are finally sick of never-ending election coverage, and decided to end democracy.
Bill, last week you predicted that Kamala was going to win. So, not a word about your misplaced prediction. Hmmm
Like let's storm Capitol Hill type of word ?
Because he didn't thought that the insanity was this big in his country
He said that was his guess and feeling, not that he'd be right necessarily - it was his GUESS. He said absolutely Trump could still win. He also did a big piece on the last minute voter last week - where he fully acknowledged Harris's weaknesses (just that Trump was still worse and she was all we had other than him).
Yeah friend, we alll watch the show every week. Do you want to spray some vinegar at him like a cat?
I’m already sick of hearing people blaming Biden for the loss. The loss wasn’t his fault. The loss was the fault of the party for nominating Biden in 2020 when he wasn’t who we wanted. He was who the party leaders wanted. Just like Hillary, who also got the same damn results. Let us pick who we actually fkn want, and maybe we’ll fkn win.
This is all on Biden. Shouldn’t have been running to begin with. Then gave Kamala with impossible challenge. Also doesn’t help he doesn’t know what planet he’s on
I agree. Same with Harris. No one voted her in. Let democracy do its thing and let people vote for who they want.
So agreed. Trump and maga voters themselves were saying they hated Hillary but they liked Sanders and were actually considering voting for him. But the incredibly out of touch, tone deaf democratic party leaders were deadest on Hillary and kneecapped Sanders. When so many people - even on the left were aying she was too unpopular and divisive.
I mean my God, the Clintons overstayed their welcome on the national level long ago, Bill himself helped create NAFTA AND the 2008 housing crisis, etc etc but hubris and ambition blinded them and Hillary from understanding the pulse of the country outside their bubble.
Do you remember the line up that ran with him though. I’ve never in my life and I’m old , felt such humiliation for our country ( well till Harris)as the lot that was running- Pete B alone… they all looked like people that worked at Sears. If Kennedy hadn’t come into the picture and given us hope … I’ve never felt that frightened for my grandchildren’s future . And then it got even worse- Harris. Anyway, that’s why I voted Biden at the time - he was the least of all evils. At least he looked like presidential material
How about after Biden let go of the election, the democrats were robbed of a much need primary?
Question to Kamala, would you do anything different from Biden on immigration? No, I'd do the same thing. And people have surprised Pikachu face, how could this happen?
I appreciated the program and loved your mix of guests and their views. On a tangential note, you've uncovered a lot of fast thinking, probably have an uncle who was a genius, types through your comments. Reminds me of someone else who can figure out stuff really fast...?
I'm so overstretched emotionally over our politics, not sure I can be coherent right now - but something f'ing needs to change - get the f'ing $$$ out - oh yea, we can't, the rich people like the system the way it is, and the supremely corrupt court already gave it to them a decade ago. And they aren't going to change, nobody can make them - they reign supreme.
Love Michael Douglas, interesting to hear his view on all this. Thanks for being out there where we can hear you - Bill and entire panel - it is important.
9:10 Nonsense! She could have at least said what she will change from Biden’s reign, but she didn’t. She said nothing comes to mind!
Yes! That really did her in. People were pretty desperate with inflation and buying groceries.
@@KARW37 Exactly. She showed zero humility because she has none. Like she said on the View, She wouldn't change a thing.
And that was the absolute nail in the coffin. If she coulda hit the softballs they were throwing at her, she probably would've won

I was one of those people who canvassed. A lot of people did bring up the fact that they thought of women wasn't tough enough to do the job. Sexism is real quit pretending.
you dont leave your house. shut up
A woman is actually stronger than a man because a woman goes through childbirth, which is painful and which a man would never be able to handle. There have been many strong women leaders throughout history. People are ignorant.
If Democrats blame this loss on sexism they will never address the core issues within the party, and are far dumber than I thought. The Democrats didn't lose this election because Kamala has a vagina, to genuinely believe this is scary
You are so right. Likely half the country will never elect a woman .... and three quarters of those will NEVER even consider a black person. We are racist/sexist or sexist/racist? Yes.
That's not necessarily sexism. Lots of women believe a woman shouldn't be president. Does that mean those women hate women? A lot of people have a fixed idea of gender roles. That doesn't mean they hate anybody. Why is every belief construed as hate in some fashion?

@MaxwellAlexander0444 So? I held a TS clearance in the Army and with the State dept.. Docs like that got locked up when I was done with them. They werent left on tables for the janitorial staff to peruse nor carried to any location where EVERYONE in the area was not cleared. SCIF docs in particular DO NOT, NOT, NOT, NOT! Leave the SCIF. I had protracted briefings on how to protect docs even from being photographed at a distance thru a window. Agents using advanced mikes to pick up your conversations about them in closed rooms by reading the vibrations of the windows. But Trump's lugging them around like a 4th grader's biology homework and comic books? I also made quite sure i had nothing when I left those jobs. He was entitled to NOTHING after leaving office.
Same reason as those documents that were in biden's garage
Any classified document, regardless of its required level of security clearance is deemed unclassified merely by Trump taking them with him on his way out of office. That said, I think what you might be trying to get at is, what's the information is those documents & why is it worth taking with you.
Legacy media isn't necessarily dying, they just can't phone it in anymore. They need to do what Jon Stewart told them to do almost 20 years ago.
They can't edit things to fit their narrative.
i have to laugh at this ladies bs: That Joe Biden "chose" to drop out of the race and Harris was set up for failure. Pure BS. Joe did not want to drop out he was forced to do so. Only reason it did not happen sooner was to give a free shot for Harris who would not have ever one a primary.
The electoral college is not a constipated system. It’s called states rights. The very foundation of our republic.
No, they are dying. I hope I can see this comment in 2034 and say that MSM hasn’t been around for years. It’s dead, ratings dropped 60% in the past 6 years alone. It’s over. The future of the US is red because you cannot contain the speech without overriding the boundaries of authoritarianism. The democrats are facing a critical failure unless they abandon their current messaging, which how will they? Team Blue is cooked badly right now.
When Bill stated that people are tired of listening to celebrities and their views I thought at this point arent they all? Example, who does he have on the show tonight? Michael Douglas and then proceeds to ask him his views. Bill himself is a celebrity. News people and politicians (right and left) are now celebrities appearing on talk shows and shows like Entertainment Tonight. Hell, the one elected president was/is a celebrity himself appearing on all of those shows and even had his own. The line between the two blurred years ago.
I hear you- one of my favorites is the word “elite “ I no more think if anyone in Hollywood ( on tv period) as elite… Rich is more confused with class to people that are immature.
To be fair, I think there are still some valuable opinions that can be expressed by people who happen to work in the entertainment industry. I think Maher is referring more to mindless celebrity endorsements
Well after tonight’s show, Maher needs to climb back into Elon’s ass again. Can’t believe how he thinks Elon is a genius.

Bill is completely missing the point that it was 3 months for Kamala vs a year for Trump. Everytime someone brings up 3 months Bill goes into 3 months of campaigning is sufficient rant, which is not the point here.
Trump was 3.5 years of campaigning.
Because her approval ratings were going down the longer she campaigned. More time wouldn't have helped.
I agree that 3 months should be the norm, but we've known the orangutan for decades and unless you're a news junkie or old school tv watcher, people don't know her.
Agree. Longer than a year for Trump. He didn’t shut up from 2021 through 2024.
Yes other countries do it in a lot less time-but let’s consider the size of those countries.
Michael Douglas is just as cool as I thought he’d be ❤
Sarah’s voice is so irritating . Biden did not drop out … they forced him out !
C'mon Trump has been running for office since 2015, and did a great job of marketing, he was on TV everyday. Biden passed a lot of important legislation, but did not market his accomplishments, and wasn't on TV every day. The democrats need to do a better job of marketing.
Especially the reach Trump had on all the podcasts...lasting hours and getting to personally know him. I can't recall one podcast showing up in my feeds showing Kamala. And you'd think Google, run by liberals, would have pushed them.
That’s the fundamental problem with the politics in our country. One side is better at governing, and the other side is better at winning elections.
Biden and Harris passed the American Rescue, Inflation Reduction, Chips and other acts. All of these acts took money from middle class taxpayers and gave it to the ultra rich to do green energy projects involving solar, wind , hydrogen , batteries , EVs . The bills pick winners and losers by choosing who gets subsidized. Instead let companies build their own factories and compete. Let companies build their own chip factories. The American Rescue act took trillions of dollars from taxpayers and gave it to state and local government so they could boost salaries, pensions and benefits and do some construction . Government employees already are overpaid and few private sector people have any pensions . Billions went to NGOs and Catholic "charities" to arrange for millions of people to cross our borders and give them free housing, cash, medical assistance and everything else. The people that ran these NGOs have made a fortune.
A choice between Fascism and Democracy does not require marketing. An informed electorate vs one bombarded with propaganda via KGB. Education is fundamental. Semper Fi.
@@Jon-x3cthe way the Democrats pushed Bernie out of the elections since 2016 and then forced Kamala on us this year, you don't think there is a problem with that too that some people may consider fascist as well. And I can even go back to 2008, but Obama was just too popular and it took 2016 for the DNC to push Hillary on us again? Do you think Kamala would just be a puppet of the DNC and continue their forever war policies and ignore that even though the stock market is soaring, ordinary Americans are still seeing everything cost double the price and wages are not nearly keeping up. Plus, most new jobs are governmental?
Man, it's going to come as a total shock to Trump voters when inflation doesn't end up going down and prices keep rising regardless lmao
