It’s not a bad thing for candidates to go into “unfriendly” territory. Part of the reason Trump got elected in 2016, was that he and his surrogates went into programs on NBC, CNN, and even Bill Maher’s show. They spoke to people outside of their bubble, and it paid off.

Ahh, my mind perceived it as Ron having cowboy boots on so he'd know more about cattle ranching, not that his orthopedic shoes "correct him" while standing.
@Barberdan - exactly. That's why it went over most people's heads. He was corrected about the cattle thing, but then threw in the dad joke because orthopedic shoes correct how you stand and walk. The play on words was perfect! I'm sure that joke is in his wheelhouse to say anytime he says "I stand corrected", but it was even more perfect here due to them talking about Desatin's boots.
Yea Bill maher is a right winger he a DeSantis are the biggest peddlers of anti woke fear mongering, they can't shut about it its all DeSantis talks about and no one really cares. The pandemic broke both of these men's brains too.
Trump’s own intel said that Russia spread disinformation in 2016 and helped Trump win the election. Also, that was a distraction about campaigning for election deniers. You should campaign for Democracy.
Very impressed that Ron DeSantis and Bill Maher sat down like adults to have real conversation like we are supposed to do. This is how it is supposed to be where each expressed their opinion and agree to disagree. Ron DeSantis may have earned my vote.
I remember when Steve Bannon and Kelly Anne Conway etc were on this show ages ago and Bill would tell the crowd 'be nice...' etc when they came out to stop them booing or shouting abuse...now here's DeSantis and the crowd just cheer him, laugh along with him and clap. This isn't the same show it used to be
Democrat politians have been so far out there, I think more people are open to listening to Republicans now days... I mean, in just the last few years, Democrats have advocated for some pretty awful stuff.
Ron is right about 2016 and if we’re being honest 2000, but the difference is the Dems and media didn’t rile up ppl to cause an insurrection or get sue and lose nearly a billion dollars.
Bill does a great job of not pulling punches, but not letting these interviews with obvious ideological foes of his fly off the rails either. He hits hard, but then he backs off a bit so it doesn't get ugly. He's very talented and savvy. I guess 30 years on the air and you learn a thing or two.
I think Bill went way too easy on Ron. He should have called him out on his maniacal plan to shoot “drug dealers” coming over the border, even after admitting that it’s hard to distinguish a drug dealer from someone who isn’t a drug dealer. wtf? 😳

Not true. The funniest was the beginning when he drew attention to the boots that disguise a ridiculous high heel to make him look taller. He was slick about it.

Why would you listen to someone who want to ban PEOPLE? Republicans are already banning and burning books, DeSantis is wrecking Florida's economy, attacking those who make the state money, he's destroying education and libraries through his made up culture war bullshit, he's constantly lying to make himself look "good", even though he's blatantly obviously lying, just like wearing his high heels to try to look big here. He's an insane wanna-be dictator, just like Trump, but in slightly different ways. He wants TOTAL power do force everyone to do as he says, which means that everyone must be a straight white person and only do the things that DeSantis allows, irrespective of reality or what is actually best for anyone. He's done so much to ban ANYTHING that might have helped the people of his state through Covid and many other emergencies. He's STILL whining against Trump's vaccine, even though he and his family have all had the shots, he doesn't want the common people of America to have that same protection. DeSantis is a bigot, a hatemonger, a constant liar, an authoritarian, a fascist, a thug, a racist, a misogynist and a psychopath. According to him, if you disagree with him, then you are nothing to him. It's literally all or nothing as far as he's concerned, and just like Trump, he thinks he should be worshipped. It's funny really how both of them are such small, insignificant and worthless people that they desperately want to appear taller so wear heels, inserts and the like to try to appear bigger and stronger. A definite sign of a self-hating, sado-masochistic small souled little men who KNOW that they are small and insignificant but want desperately to be taken seriously.
Bill Maher is really incredible. I can't imagine many others who could bring such polarizing figures/ideas on while seamlessly engaging in dialogue. He's the kind of man who SHOULD be a politician.
I’d love for Bill to finally go over the list of hits and misses with actual medical professionals, public health officials, skeptics, etc. No snark, just list them out, and see how it plays out
He wont because he will instantly get dragged and humiliated. If he invites Sanjay Gupta, Vivek Murphy, even Fauci they would all drag him for filth with all the reasons the pandemic went the way it did and why his view of thing is oversimplified, elitist and unrealistic. That is why all he can do is rant about it to other whack jobs who are just as delusional about it as he is...pot head joe rogan, demagogue ron desantis, and hippy dippy jocks like aaron rodgers...no actual doctors or medical professionals or generally rational people who know what they're talking about....He knows this. Something happened to him and he has lost his way and has gone extremist, in his own way, and is no longer interested in facts or objectivity. He wants to stick it to the progressives and liberals as much as the other extremists in politics want. Old white dudes on both sides feel like their world is crumbling before their very eyes and all we're seeing is their temper tantrums over it.
@steveb796 It's laughable. Not only has Bill Maher lost touch, but his audience has clearly gotten dumber as well, the way they were clapping and cheering over asinine assertions
@@fundifferent1 Bill’s “audience” also includes his staff. He basically has his writers and some interns sit in the audience and cheer and clap. You don’t really think all that ridiculous “Woo!

Woody Harrelson for one, would beg to differ. But overall I don't get the feeling that Bill has many real friends but rather acquaintances. I'm sure he's decreasing the number.
It's not that he doesn't have friends in Hollywood because he's such a rebel who bucks the system. He has no friends in Hollywood because he's an unpleasant jerk that people getting increasingly tired of.
Why do you need a clip of some show to base your opinion? His record speaks for itself. Lower crime, higher education rating, good economy, people moving in. He wouldn’t have turned Florida red if he had turned Florida into a dump like the California governor has done to Cali.

Hearing the audience clap for Desantis saying he'll hold the government accountable for lockdowns during covid reminds me of that wonderful Professor Farnsworth meme.
Yeah they probably advertise the show to people and his supporters are the ones who sign up to go. Some shows also tell the audience to clap. Because I notice this happens on almost every interview on most shows like this. RFK jr got a ton of applause on Hannity when he made a point countering Hannity. The audience had Kennedys side more than Hannity on his show lol
“Woke” people criticized him on social media and he can’t handle it. Admittedly, I agree that some of that criticism was excessive but some is well-deserved. Bill is too narcissistic to let it go.
@@homiehomerson2705 Unlike DeSantis, I can define it and I would do so as online social justice activists whose activism consists of yelling at people via social media. I support most of their causes, but I can acknowledge their tactics can become a little overzealous at times. But bill is far from the only boomer celebrity whose brain has been melted by this practice.
Look at all the copy and pasted spam from the same people over and over. It's not like we can see you spamming this page raynor. And "woke" is what hateful people call compassion. Those who constantly whine against woke always seem to be the same people who whine about equality, come out with misogynist comments, or racism, or want to control other people's lives who are not affecting them in any way whatsoever, but they believe that they have the right to tell others what to do with their lives, irrespective of circumstance or situation. It's the authoritarians and fascists that complain the most about "woke" nonsense, and they have to invent things because their real issues are either so meaningless or so abusive of other people's rights, that they KNOW that they would get massive pushback. That's why Desatan here whines so much about "woke", but rarely gives real examples, instead fear-mongering about things that don't happen, or even worse, happened because of HIS actions, but like all other authoritarians who preach personal responsibility, they take none themselves for anything they do. Desantis is a hatemonger, he spends all his time making up lies to tell people, saying that this is what the "Libs" will do to you if they get control, knowing full well that he's lying, and that he himself has FAR worse plans for the people. This is the same lying POS that is STILL whining about Covid, but he made sure that he and his family got those shots right away! But he has openly said recently that MORE people should have died from Covid, and that it would have been good if they had! This is the man who made sure HE was protected, but did all he could to make sure that the people of his state were not only NOT protected, but it was illegal to get some of those protections! What "woke" really means is being compassionate for others, not just being a selfish, self obsessed turd. It means letting other people live their own lives as they wish, as long as it doesn't hurt anyone else. It means that you control yourself and are responsible for your own words and actions. Makes it obvious really why Republicans would be against these things, when they so desperately want total control of America, the government and the people, even though that is against the spirit and word of the Constitution. That's why Trump has said that he will tear down the Constitution if he gets in, install himself as "President for Life", take personal control of the DOJ and IRS to use as weapons against anyone who he thinks is against him, how he's going to strip the power from the House and Congress so that they cannot stop him doing whatever he likes. If THAT is what you really want for the United States of America, then you, like him, are a traitor to EVERYTHING that America has ever stood for, are standing against the Government, the Constitition, the Law and the People of the USA. If that kind of place is where you want to live, just leave the US and go live in North Korea with Trump's lover, or Russia with Trump's master. Unlike those places, you CAN leave America to live elsewhere. So go, live in the fascist dictatorship you lust after. But realise that even if Trump isn't barred from running due to the Constitution (He is) and isn't in prison for his crimes (He will be), YOU will NOT be in a better place in a Trump US Dictatorship. He and his rich friends will be at the top, and you will be nothing more than fodder, just like everyone else. You think that Trump will pluck you out of the crowd and elevate you to some high office, giving you millions of dollars? No. What will happen is the same that happens to ALL of Trump's cast off minions, you'll be thrown out with nothing, left to suffer the repercussions of your actions with no support from him at all, and he will not even know your name. Doubt me? Look at what has happened to EVERY ONE of those who has helped Trump. Thousands are in jail for him, from a couple of years to what amounts to life for some. He's promised to pardon them, but he could have done that before he left office, he just doesn't care. He could have pardoned ALL of his close advisers that are now being prosecuted for their actions, but he didn't, he doesn't care. Even those who asked didn't get pardons. A select few have, but even his closest, long term allies are in jail, without the pardons he COULD have given them, but didn't, because he doesn't care. He didn't even give his daughter a pardon for anything! The daughter he lusts after constantly! Nothing for her, nor her criminal husband. He only cares for himself, and he will do NOTHING for anyone else, just like he did last time. The ONLY ones who got anything last time were the foreign reps that gave him bribes, the obscenely rich and himself. None of YOU Trump worshippers got anything, nothing except for more and more demands that you give the so-called billionaire YOUR money for nothing. And you wonder why the rest of the world is laughing at you Trump worshippers?

Yea Bill maher is a right winger he a DeSantis are the biggest peddlers of anti woke fear mongering, they can't shut about it its all DeSantis talks about and no one really cares. The pandemic broke both of these men's brains too.
Trump’s own intel said that Russia spread disinformation in 2016 and helped Trump win the election. Also, that was a distraction about campaigning for election deniers. You should campaign for Democracy.
Very impressed that Ron DeSantis and Bill Maher sat down like adults to have real conversation like we are supposed to do. This is how it is supposed to be where each expressed their opinion and agree to disagree. Ron DeSantis may have earned my vote.
I remember when Steve Bannon and Kelly Anne Conway etc were on this show ages ago and Bill would tell the crowd 'be nice...' etc when they came out to stop them booing or shouting abuse...now here's DeSantis and the crowd just cheer him, laugh along with him and clap. This isn't the same show it used to be
#billmaher is now into fascist, nazi book burners
Democrat politians have been so far out there, I think more people are open to listening to Republicans now days... I mean, in just the last few years, Democrats have advocated for some pretty awful stuff.
When even Bill Maher is more impartial to Ron than Fox, you know that they became, Trump News Network.
Thank Brandon
That was a lot more respectful and cordial than I expected it to be
What did you expect? Bill Maher is a full blown conservative.
Ron is right about 2016 and if we’re being honest 2000, but the difference is the Dems and media didn’t rile up ppl to cause an insurrection or get sue and lose nearly a billion dollars.

He hits hard, but then he backs off a bit so it doesn't get ugly.
He's very talented and savvy. I guess 30 years on the air and you learn a thing or two.
urgh... Bill knows half as much as he should - he's totally out of touch on a lot of issues..

He didn't hit back hard this time, instead Maher kissed DeSantis' ass.

@@dannmarceau9743I don’t have to listen to him because I know that all GOP members want to do away with Social Security. Since I’m 70, that’s the most important issue to me. I also don’t like people who ban books.
Why would you listen to someone who want to ban PEOPLE?
Republicans are already banning and burning books, DeSantis is wrecking Florida's economy, attacking those who make the state money, he's destroying education and libraries through his made up culture war bullshit, he's constantly lying to make himself look "good", even though he's blatantly obviously lying, just like wearing his high heels to try to look big here.
He's an insane wanna-be dictator, just like Trump, but in slightly different ways.
He wants TOTAL power do force everyone to do as he says, which means that everyone must be a straight white person and only do the things that DeSantis allows, irrespective of reality or what is actually best for anyone.
He's done so much to ban ANYTHING that might have helped the people of his state through Covid and many other emergencies. He's STILL whining against Trump's vaccine, even though he and his family have all had the shots, he doesn't want the common people of America to have that same protection.
DeSantis is a bigot, a hatemonger, a constant liar, an authoritarian, a fascist, a thug, a racist, a misogynist and a psychopath.
According to him, if you disagree with him, then you are nothing to him. It's literally all or nothing as far as he's concerned, and just like Trump, he thinks he should be worshipped.
It's funny really how both of them are such small, insignificant and worthless people that they desperately want to appear taller so wear heels, inserts and the like to try to appear bigger and stronger.
A definite sign of a self-hating, sado-masochistic small souled little men who KNOW that they are small and insignificant but want desperately to be taken seriously.
DeSantis is wearing heels... look how awkwardly he shuffles onto the stage and the fact that there are no toes anywhere near the end of those boots...
Bill Maher is really incredible. I can't imagine many others who could bring such polarizing figures/ideas on while seamlessly engaging in dialogue. He's the kind of man who SHOULD be a politician.
I’d love for Bill to finally go over the list of hits and misses with actual medical professionals, public health officials, skeptics, etc. No snark, just list them out, and see how it plays out
2500 people a day were dying of Covid in January 2021. You all are rewriting history
@@steveb796 They don’t care.
He wont because he will instantly get dragged and humiliated. If he invites Sanjay Gupta, Vivek Murphy, even Fauci they would all drag him for filth with all the reasons the pandemic went the way it did and why his view of thing is oversimplified, elitist and unrealistic. That is why all he can do is rant about it to other whack jobs who are just as delusional about it as he is...pot head joe rogan, demagogue ron desantis, and hippy dippy jocks like aaron rodgers...no actual doctors or medical professionals or generally rational people who know what they're talking about....He knows this. Something happened to him and he has lost his way and has gone extremist, in his own way, and is no longer interested in facts or objectivity. He wants to stick it to the progressives and liberals as much as the other extremists in politics want. Old white dudes on both sides feel like their world is crumbling before their very eyes and all we're seeing is their temper tantrums over it.
@steveb796 It's laughable. Not only has Bill Maher lost touch, but his audience has clearly gotten dumber as well, the way they were clapping and cheering over asinine assertions
@@fundifferent1 Bill’s “audience” also includes his staff. He basically has his writers and some interns sit in the audience and cheer and clap. You don’t really think all that ridiculous “Woo!

It was especially obvious during the covid days when there were 5 people in the audience all overcompensating.

Woody Harrelson for one, would beg to differ. But overall I don't get the feeling that Bill has many real friends but rather acquaintances. I'm sure he's decreasing the number.

“Woke” people criticized him on social media and he can’t handle it. Admittedly, I agree that some of that criticism was excessive but some is well-deserved. Bill is too narcissistic to let it go.
@@docjoe86 what is "woke"?
@@homiehomerson2705 Unlike DeSantis, I can define it and I would do so as online social justice activists whose activism consists of yelling at people via social media. I support most of their causes, but I can acknowledge their tactics can become a little overzealous at times. But bill is far from the only boomer celebrity whose brain has been melted by this practice.
Look at all the copy and pasted spam from the same people over and over.
It's not like we can see you spamming this page raynor.
And "woke" is what hateful people call compassion.
Those who constantly whine against woke always seem to be the same people who whine about equality, come out with misogynist comments, or racism, or want to control other people's lives who are not affecting them in any way whatsoever, but they believe that they have the right to tell others what to do with their lives, irrespective of circumstance or situation.
It's the authoritarians and fascists that complain the most about "woke" nonsense, and they have to invent things because their real issues are either so meaningless or so abusive of other people's rights, that they KNOW that they would get massive pushback.
That's why Desatan here whines so much about "woke", but rarely gives real examples, instead fear-mongering about things that don't happen, or even worse, happened because of HIS actions, but like all other authoritarians who preach personal responsibility, they take none themselves for anything they do.
Desantis is a hatemonger, he spends all his time making up lies to tell people, saying that this is what the "Libs" will do to you if they get control, knowing full well that he's lying, and that he himself has FAR worse plans for the people.
This is the same lying POS that is STILL whining about Covid, but he made sure that he and his family got those shots right away! But he has openly said recently that MORE people should have died from Covid, and that it would have been good if they had! This is the man who made sure HE was protected, but did all he could to make sure that the people of his state were not only NOT protected, but it was illegal to get some of those protections!
What "woke" really means is being compassionate for others, not just being a selfish, self obsessed turd.
It means letting other people live their own lives as they wish, as long as it doesn't hurt anyone else.
It means that you control yourself and are responsible for your own words and actions.
Makes it obvious really why Republicans would be against these things, when they so desperately want total control of America, the government and the people, even though that is against the spirit and word of the Constitution.
That's why Trump has said that he will tear down the Constitution if he gets in, install himself as "President for Life", take personal control of the DOJ and IRS to use as weapons against anyone who he thinks is against him, how he's going to strip the power from the House and Congress so that they cannot stop him doing whatever he likes.
If THAT is what you really want for the United States of America, then you, like him, are a traitor to EVERYTHING that America has ever stood for, are standing against the Government, the Constitition, the Law and the People of the USA.
If that kind of place is where you want to live, just leave the US and go live in North Korea with Trump's lover, or Russia with Trump's master. Unlike those places, you CAN leave America to live elsewhere.
So go, live in the fascist dictatorship you lust after.
But realise that even if Trump isn't barred from running due to the Constitution (He is) and isn't in prison for his crimes (He will be), YOU will NOT be in a better place in a Trump US Dictatorship. He and his rich friends will be at the top, and you will be nothing more than fodder, just like everyone else.
You think that Trump will pluck you out of the crowd and elevate you to some high office, giving you millions of dollars?
No.
What will happen is the same that happens to ALL of Trump's cast off minions, you'll be thrown out with nothing, left to suffer the repercussions of your actions with no support from him at all, and he will not even know your name.
Doubt me?
Look at what has happened to EVERY ONE of those who has helped Trump.
Thousands are in jail for him, from a couple of years to what amounts to life for some.
He's promised to pardon them, but he could have done that before he left office, he just doesn't care.
He could have pardoned ALL of his close advisers that are now being prosecuted for their actions, but he didn't, he doesn't care. Even those who asked didn't get pardons. A select few have, but even his closest, long term allies are in jail, without the pardons he COULD have given them, but didn't, because he doesn't care.
He didn't even give his daughter a pardon for anything! The daughter he lusts after constantly!
Nothing for her, nor her criminal husband.
He only cares for himself, and he will do NOTHING for anyone else, just like he did last time.
The ONLY ones who got anything last time were the foreign reps that gave him bribes, the obscenely rich and himself.
None of YOU Trump worshippers got anything, nothing except for more and more demands that you give the so-called billionaire YOUR money for nothing.
And you wonder why the rest of the world is laughing at you Trump worshippers?

Nobody likes DeSantis.... but he makes some really good points.
It’s good he showed up but Bill was very weak in this interview. I’ll have to watch the full version to be sure but it feels like Bill is losing his edge and ability to push back and call out BS.

Is it me or did the audience and Maher himself shifted a little right during this period
DeSantis made some good points at the end.
no he didnt
Wow, got a notification for the first time in months 😮
SAME!
Yup
It kinda weird to be honest after all these months.
@@kristopherneville6922 Indeed, esp. when the first thing we see is him interviewing DeSantis. 😁
@@rapunzel39 yeah. It's going to take time to readjust now that the strike is over
Oh man, Bill ended with a hilarious line "I have no friends in Hollywood" 😂😂😂
Gotta be a dig at Stern lol
He didn't end the interview there. It was just a really strange cut. Actually the interview goes on after that.
@@luna-hw9li yes, I watched the whole thing on Max. He still ended the video there 🤦🏾♂️
@@greenlion6544 then for some reason the show I watched continued. It wasn't a joke that really landed and as far as I saw it, Bill did not just have the last word here.
Yeah it was a nice duck to avoid confronting his hypocrisy
Lmao why is that shorty wearing heels.
Love this convo. Also, I don’t care whether you like Desantis or not you have to admit he’s a good guy that cares about the country.
I have no friends in Hollywood was his best punch line in years hehehehe
That ain't no Punch line ...
@@hushmoney2058 i think you missed the point ;)
wow so funny hurr durr he make fun of hollywood look mom hurr hurr he made a fun of da hollywood hurrrrr
Would love to see the rest of the interview, Desantis is doing better than i thought he would.
He’s still the same fascist in Florida, and would be the same type as president. I’m tired of the same crap about Covid, too. It was a deadly, world-wide pandemic. Let’s stop pretending it wasn’t.
As someone living in FL its such a shit show.
@@brendasnow8255He's so much of a fascist that more people voted for him in 2022 than they did in 2018. Also, his state ranked #1 in the entire country in net migration. He's so much of a fascist that people moved to his state more than any other state.
@@brendasnow8255Fascist who supports freedom? Sure
He should've attacked Trump long ago. He's a day late and a dollar short. He will not be the nominee.
Definitely wearing lifts. Seriously, if he’s not, then his feet must have been mangled in a horrible accident.
Love Bill Maher. Respect to Ron for going on the show. Wow!
You respect that creep. Amazing.
It’s great he showed up, and that’s the only good thing I can say.
It's certainly good that viewers can hear the other side of arguments and views that they won't agree with and not just views and sentiments from just one side of the aisle.
@@jimrogers2390when a politician bans books , I don’t feel the need to listen to his viewpoint. “Ban books, ban people. Burn books, burn people.”
@@angryvillager3353 I don't agree banning any book but it's not exclusive to one side or party. There is both book banning attempts from both Liberal and Conservative parties and it's certainly a bi-party issue.
@@jimrogers2390 That's utterly pathetic. The "both sides" argument was an old trope millennia ago when you don't have a real argument. Democrats are not going on a book banning and burning spree like Republicans, who are RIGHT NOW taking away children's education because of their phony "culture war" nonsense!
Republican are banning books by internationally acclaimed authors because they are racist, hate filled monsters who are doing all they can to whitewash slavery, white supremacy and so much more, so don't try your lame "both sides" bull, we saw exactly what that meant when Trump tried to defend the Nazis repeatedly
@@angryvillager3353 Except he didn't really do any of that. If you want your child to read about man/boy sex, in a descriptive manner full of details, have at it. You can still buy it in Florida in fact. It just won't be in the school library.
Isn't it interesting how HBO edits out the part of the interview where Bill repeatedly agrees with Gov. DeSantis on his handling of COVID-19? Be careful of what you see people, you may not be getting the whole story!
Wow you are such a mouth breather. Every time HBO posts the first guest interview on RUclips, it’s never the full interview. “Edited out” would suggest they removed it when, in reality, the part of the interview you’re talking about simply took place after the normal cutoff point for the RUclips version of the first guest interview. You losers just make shit up and take the most benign, totally explainable thing and make it nefarious. Get a life.
SOP on ALL the interviews Bill does.
HBO puts out small segment clips in order to tease you to subscribe in order to see the whole show.
No great conspiracy here douglas.
I watched the whole show. Nothing was edited out by HBO. DeSantis and Maher shared the same consensus regarding Florida's handling of Covid. Be careful of conspiracy, I hear there's a lot of it going around.
Also whether he agrees with him or not doesn't make a difference. He's still a human being like you and me. You are appealing to authority
@@StudioDaVeed ok, I can see that. So then why do the clips always lean one way? If they are truly trying to get subscribers, why not appeal to differing viewpoints with the clips. or are they trying to skew the subscribers they do get?
Love Ron Desantis. Glad people on both sides of the aisle are coming together again, finally
Clean house in the CDC and protect people from mRNA vaccines? This sounds insane to me. Maybe there could have been more ideal ways to manage the pandemic, but that’s all splitting hairs. There are side-effects to vaccines, but they save lives and overall are miraculous. This is a huge slap-in-the-face to all those people who worked tirelessly to save us from the pandemic.
"Im acting like a president" in cowboy boots and a suit lol.
tell me Jay how is a president should look like? a square?
Bush did the same thing, I think.
This is America and cowboy boots are allowed - even in the White House.
@@FallenAngelBrassyeah I mean if fetterman can dress like a bum in the senate I don't see an issue with a presidential candidate with a suit and cowboy boots especially if he's from the south to begin with
@@jurassicthunder well.. they should be able to speak English. So I guess you're out
This is the most I’ve ever liked hearing Desantis. He does well in this atmosphere.
Because it was meticulously rehearsed?
Nice to know you like fascists. Ron just told a bunch of lies for 5 minutes with no pushback from Bill
Eon blue's little heart is breaking lol
This is Ron Desantis. Not the lies like “don’t say gay”.
@@festina_lente7655 I’m just not easily entertained by a con artist sweetheart
Wow, Bill got Ron to genuinely smile.
Bill has almost completed his Republican arc.
As someone on the centre left, I want Bill to have guests of all hues. Would I like him to challenge some more, sure but I don't think he's being overly biased to the right
@@Boghopper9999 he certainly showed his true colors during the writers' strike. Having guests of all hues would be great, but I am not holding my breath for Cornel West receiving the same platform (or respect) as DeSantis on his show, which would be the logical counterpart.
@@Boghopper9999It's not an issue that he invites right-wing guests. It's that he openly mocks and shits on the left, downplays how dangerous Republicans are and is all-around unlikeable smug, out of touch elitist.
I hope people like you don’t vote: if you think this man is a republican…
@@Boghopper9999his other youtube channel's audience is almost exclusively comprised of right wingers at this point. Do u think thats just a happy coincidence
