I think racism lands differently for me. I hear Maher saying "I didn't do it, but I benefited from it". I grew up in a racist environment and was taught racist and classist things as a child (examples: certain neigborhoods being inherently dangerous, assumptions about people's intelligence and ability, etc). While I didn't say or do overtly racist things, I benefited from racism, and I believed what I was told at the time. As an adult, knowing this about my past, I have a responsibility to unlearn the racist crap as it comes up. I'm in my late 50s, and while I've deprogrammed myself quite a bit, I assume that I will continue to need to unlearn racist assumptions and tropes for the rest of my life. I don't feel bad about myself as a human being because of what I had to unlearn, but I do feel an ongoing responsibility to continue to deprogram myself.
Very well spoken. See and learn people for the characteristics they display instead of the nationality/color of skin/race. May your journey be full of positive experiences.

Yeah...George Carlin was an alcoholic drug addict. Is that the source of your wisdom? A drug addled comedian who see the world through a depressed, distorted image.
Being tired of extremes is a key part of the Harris promise. Trump has lowered the bar on discourse, instituted ad hominem attacks in place of policy proposals, lied about anything and everything and promised fascist behavior if elected - and you don't get much more extreme than that. We do indeed need to move on from this dark chapter in the history of our democracy.
I'm sick of being equated with people who hate because I care about children, the environment, equity and justice, human rights, educating and advocating for my fellow citizens.
May i ask respectfully Why "Equity". Taking from someone to give to someone else less fortunate sounds charitable until you're taking food someone is eating and then giving it to someone else who also has food.
As someone that is somewhat left-leaning, I also want a strong boarder, balanced budget, and stern military response to aggression like in Ukraine...I think many are waking up to that we really aren't very divided at all, its all just rhetoric designed to mobilize us.

The thing is that people on the extreme left are saying they're not like the extreme right. They are correct in that analysis. They are not fundamentally dangerous. They are just dumb as bricks, which is almost as offensive.
Politics in a democracy IS moderation and compromise. Extreme positions are authoritarian. If you want it all your way that implicitly means you want to suppress and exclude others from your politics.

The Quran does not say “Jews bad”. It in fact says that the Biblical version of the Land of Israel is the eternal inheritance of the Jewish People. The anti-history people then say that European Jews are not authentic and therefore colonizers post WW2; as if.. Do not quote the Quran in such a way. It does damage instead of repair.
Both presenters are well respected HOWEVER the claim of a biblical and or Koran authority for Israel having a claim to the Palestunian land going back thousands of years is a false flag. If the post WWI and WWII powers (allies), had not split the booty from the conquered Ottoman empire, and given the property to Israel, the current war and its resulting genocide would likely NOT be happening. The League of Nations and the current United Nation was also responsible for rubber stamping the theft of the land from the Palestinian people in 1948. Thats a long time for hate to fester. The fact that there was a historical record of Jews living in the occupied territory before 1948 does not in and of itself justify the existence of the Jewish/Israeli state. Wrong is wrong but France, Great Britain and the US will never admit to their complicit role of colonialism on behalf of Zionism in the post war years.. No one among these allied countries has ever or will ever step forward and say we were wrong!. While the Oct. 7 massacre was indeed tragic, all those innocents killed were a result of how Israel's brutal mistreatment of the people in Gaza, supported by the US, almost was inevitable after being tolerated for decades. They thought the dog was beaten into submission. The dog finally bit and unfortunately will morph into terrorism for decades.
They aren’t protesting war, they are calling for war…calling for the intifada, calling for exodus of Jews, calling for the burning to the ground of Tel Aviv. This isn’t Anti Vietnam or Anti Iraq war demonstrations
Tfw exercising one's civil liberties to oppose war crimes and crimes against humanity is considered "extremism" and "just as bad" as wanting to end American democracy.

Joe, Why didn't you fact-check Bill ? I'm a Christian and I know that the Quran DOES NOT SAY JEWS ARE BAD!! Mohammad taught his followers to respect the people of the Book......both Jews and Christians. "Some verses of the Quran, notably 2:256, preach tolerance towards members of the Jewish faith...and are regarded as members of a legitimate community of believers in God, "people of the Book", and therefore legally entitled to sufferance." ALSO, Jews were NOT the first peoples in the area of Israel and Palestine.
Reading the Quran can be eye opening. It’s not that long. Have an informed opinion. One can also read about the conquests of Joshua in Jewish annals. The New Testament is worth reading. Find out for yourself.
Jews were people of the book but they were still persecuted and under 2nd class citizens under Muslim rule. For example non Muslims had to pay special taxes called “Jizya”
Clearly educated you are NOT. Did you read the Qur'an (Sura Al Isra 17)? The Hadith? Did you study the history of the last 200 years? Do you speak Arabic or you're drinking from the sis pool of the mind manipulators? Check the Hamas and the Hisbollah credos. Listen to the pro-terrorism demonstration slogans. Ask, what does "From the River to the Sea" mean? Have courage? Educate yourself. Practice Rational Critical Independent thinking.
Listen to Maher waffle after he spoke that lie. He sort of clucked his breath twice. He KNEW he was lying when he said it...and of course Joe let the lie stand.
Instead of studying the bible and the Quran maybe you should study history and peoples interpretation of the bible and the Quran. Christians and Muslims were and are the most violent people on the planet.
I always love and adore Joe Scarborough🫶🏿, nice to hear more from Bill Maher and how he deeply feels. I have always loved watching Bill Maher’s show from time to time over the years🫶🏿.
6:00. That had to be the dumbest thing anyone has ever said about the conflict in the Middle East in a long time. People who have no grasp of world history shouldn’t speak like they do.
I scoffed out loud at that and at the “The Koran says that Jews are bad” line. Bill absolutely knows that that isn’t true and that the current state of Jewish/Muslim relations have almost nothing to do with religious doctrine.
This man is such a loathesome cretin. If you hear what he has to say about Palestinians, its plain that HE is the extremist. What a disappointment he turned out to be.

I'm terribly sorry but this political argument is irrelevant when one guy wants to end democracy in the United States and the woman running against him does not. End of story.
And the reason why so many people don't listen to you is because people like you said the same thing about Mitt Romney in 2012, the same Mitt Romney who voted twice to impeach Trump. Wolf crying is what is killing liberals and Democrats.
@Meg-ts3kx I don't know if you remember at the beginning of his first term when Trump was putting his cabinet picks in place he said he was hiring the best people. The BEST people. Most of which he ended up firing. Ask yourself, why would Trump hire what he considered the best of the best only to turn around and fire them? He must be a terrible judge of character! Just what we need, a president who is a terrible judge of character. But it was these people that kept the Donald in check just long enough to get him to the end of the presidency, when he incited the insurrection. He won't have those people this time. He will have yes people. Yes to throwing whoever he wants in jail. Yes to turning the military on citizens. Yes to Putin. God help us if he wins.
Ok but moderates don't see the world like you do, a womans right to control her body is only a top 3 topic for moderates and conservatives, compared to #1 for liberals.

Agreed! I have lost friends because they have gone too far in both directions. The funny thing is your comment probably triggered both MAGA and the embarrassing far left. I always remember a college professor I had that taught anthropology, and he drew a large circle and said "The extremes on both sides are far away from the rational thinkers, but, if you look, they sit right next to each other on the opposite ends". Yes, the far right is a real threat and dangerous, but the far left is just so mindlessly stupid.

Maher talks about extremes, the says there's "reasonable solutions" for most problems. He says he's an "old-school Liberal." But he usually focuses on social issues. Liberalism has failed to address issues where "extreme" action is needed: campaign finance reform, climate change, tax policy, trade, health care. Liberals wonder why a guy like Trump is competitive. *Here's why: People want real economic Progressivism, and Democratic Party Liberals don't get it done.*

I remember how full of himself Maher was, and then the deer in the headlights panic when he got backlash over this little episode just SIX DAYS after 2977 people were killed on 9/11: In the aftermath of the attacks, U.S. President George W. Bush said that the terrorists responsible were cowards. During the September 17, 2001 episode, one of Maher's guests, Dinesh D'Souza, said "These are warriors. And we have to realize that the principles of our way of life are in conflict with people in the world. And so - I mean, I'm all for understanding the sociological causes of this, but we should not blame the victim. Americans shouldn't blame themselves because other people want to bomb them." Maher agreed, and replied: "We have been the cowards, lobbing cruise missiles from 2,000 miles away. That's cowardly. Staying in the airplane when it hits the building, say what you want about it, [it's] not cowardly." Similar comments were made by others in other media. Advertisers withdrew their support, and some ABC affiliates stopped airing the show temporarily. White House press secretary Ari Fleischer denounced Maher, warning that "people have to watch what they say and watch what they do." Maher apologized, and explained that he had been criticizing U.S. military policy, not American soldiers. The show was canceled the following June, which Maher and many others saw as a result of the controversy.
I had a professor in college tell us that it was nice of God to give the land to the Jewish people, but perhaps he should have asked the people who lived there first.
Ok so when the Canaan's will return and ask for the land back we'll talk, until then, the Jews are the indigenous people of this land and were there 1700 years before the Arabs colonized this land in the year 638 after occupying it by force from the Byzantine Empire, but I hate to confuse you with facts.
@@E_y_a_l There’s so much misinformation about the subject, it was the land of Israel before it was Palestine and I don’t even agree that something that was historically somebody’s should still be theirs, but let’s at least be accurate. maybe at the time in 1948 I would’ve had a different view but most of the people in Israel today were born there just like I probably live on some Indian tribes land in Northern California. But then that tribe probably took it from some other Indian tribe before that, leading to my reason for not really caring about who used to live somewhere, it’s a useless concept. What they should concentrate on doing is solving the problem today and that’s not picking a date when everybody was where they were supposed to be and making people move because of course we’d have to fight over what date that is. They need to find a way in a place for Palestinians to have their own piece of land.
@@Bayhuntr And that's why Israel has offered 3 times(1993, 2000 and 2008) a Palestinian state with more than 95% of the Palestinians territorial demands, even Benjamin Netanyahu publicly agreed in 2010 to a two state solution, but it were the Palestinians who not only rejected these offers every single time, they also responded with waves of violence, every single time, and the reason is that they don't really want a two state solution, they want everything, because this conflict is not about land or who was there first, it's a religious conflict with the Muslim side openly saying they want all the Jews gone from all of the land, they are publicly saying it, all you need to do is listen.

@@sidauthur7836 They're "extreme left" but busy making money for corporate oligarchs? Make it make sense.
Yep.
I think racism lands differently for me. I hear Maher saying "I didn't do it, but I benefited from it". I grew up in a racist environment and was taught racist and classist things as a child (examples: certain neigborhoods being inherently dangerous, assumptions about people's intelligence and ability, etc). While I didn't say or do overtly racist things, I benefited from racism, and I believed what I was told at the time. As an adult, knowing this about my past, I have a responsibility to unlearn the racist crap as it comes up. I'm in my late 50s, and while I've deprogrammed myself quite a bit, I assume that I will continue to need to unlearn racist assumptions and tropes for the rest of my life. I don't feel bad about myself as a human being because of what I had to unlearn, but I do feel an ongoing responsibility to continue to deprogram myself.

Being tired of extremes is a key part of the Harris promise.

The thing is that people on the extreme left are saying they're not like the extreme right. They are correct in that analysis. They are not fundamentally dangerous. They are just dumb as bricks, which is almost as offensive.

The Quran does not say “Jews bad”. It in fact says that the Biblical version of the Land of Israel is the eternal inheritance of the Jewish People. The anti-history people then say that European Jews are not authentic and therefore colonizers post WW2; as if.. Do not quote the Quran in such a way. It does damage instead of repair.
Both presenters are well respected HOWEVER the claim of a biblical and or Koran authority for Israel having a claim to the Palestunian land going back thousands of years is a false flag. If the post WWI and WWII powers (allies), had not split the booty from the conquered Ottoman empire, and given the property to Israel, the current war and its resulting genocide would likely NOT be happening. The League of Nations and the current United Nation was also responsible for rubber stamping the theft of the land from the Palestinian people in 1948. Thats a long time for hate to fester. The fact that there was a historical record of Jews living in the occupied territory before 1948 does not in and of itself justify the existence of the Jewish/Israeli state. Wrong is wrong but France, Great Britain and the US will never admit to their complicit role of colonialism on behalf of Zionism in the post war years.. No one among these allied countries has ever or will ever step forward and say we were wrong!. While the Oct. 7 massacre was indeed tragic, all those innocents killed were a result of how Israel's brutal mistreatment of the people in Gaza, supported by the US, almost was inevitable after being tolerated for decades. They thought the dog was beaten into submission. The dog finally bit and unfortunately will morph into terrorism for decades.
What is your proof there not authenticity? DNA evidence and archaeological evidence proves they are indigenous to the Middle East

Joe, Why didn't you fact-check Bill ? I'm a Christian and I know that the Quran DOES NOT SAY JEWS ARE BAD!! Mohammad taught his followers to respect the people of the Book......both Jews and Christians. "Some verses of the Quran, notably 2:256, preach tolerance towards members of the Jewish faith...and are regarded as members of a legitimate community of believers in God, "people of the Book", and therefore legally entitled to sufferance."
ALSO, Jews were NOT the first peoples in the area of Israel and Palestine.
Reading the Quran can be eye opening. It’s not that long. Have an informed opinion. One can also read about the conquests of Joshua in Jewish annals. The New Testament is worth reading. Find out for yourself.
Jews were people of the book but they were still persecuted and under 2nd class citizens under Muslim rule. For example non Muslims had to pay special taxes called “Jizya”
Clearly educated you are NOT. Did you read the Qur'an (Sura Al Isra 17)? The Hadith? Did you study the history of the last 200 years? Do you speak Arabic or you're drinking from the sis pool of the mind manipulators? Check the Hamas and the Hisbollah credos. Listen to the pro-terrorism demonstration slogans. Ask, what does "From the River to the Sea" mean? Have courage? Educate yourself. Practice Rational Critical Independent thinking.
Listen to Maher waffle after he spoke that lie. He sort of clucked his breath twice. He KNEW he was lying when he said it...and of course Joe let the lie stand.
Instead of studying the bible and the Quran maybe you should study history and peoples interpretation of the bible and the Quran. Christians and Muslims were and are the most violent people on the planet.

@Meg-ts3kx I don't know if you remember at the beginning of his first term when Trump was putting his cabinet picks in place he said he was hiring the best people. The BEST people. Most of which he ended up firing. Ask yourself, why would Trump hire what he considered the best of the best only to turn around and fire them? He must be a terrible judge of character! Just what we need, a president who is a terrible judge of character. But it was these people that kept the Donald in check just long enough to get him to the end of the presidency, when he incited the insurrection. He won't have those people this time. He will have yes people. Yes to throwing whoever he wants in jail. Yes to turning the military on citizens. Yes to Putin. God help us if he wins.

Let's see, bill makes nothing better, after listening to him for the last few minutes I now understand why we have undecided voters. Utter selfish nonsense.
I remember how full of himself Maher was, and then the deer in the headlights panic when he got backlash over this little episode just SIX DAYS after 2977 people were killed on 9/11:
In the aftermath of the attacks, U.S. President George W. Bush said that the terrorists responsible were cowards. During the September 17, 2001 episode, one of Maher's guests, Dinesh D'Souza, said "These are warriors. And we have to realize that the principles of our way of life are in conflict with people in the world. And so - I mean, I'm all for understanding the sociological causes of this, but we should not blame the victim. Americans shouldn't blame themselves because other people want to bomb them." Maher agreed, and replied: "We have been the cowards, lobbing cruise missiles from 2,000 miles away. That's cowardly. Staying in the airplane when it hits the building, say what you want about it, [it's] not cowardly." Similar comments were made by others in other media.
Advertisers withdrew their support, and some ABC affiliates stopped airing the show temporarily. White House press secretary Ari Fleischer denounced Maher, warning that "people have to watch what they say and watch what they do." Maher apologized, and explained that he had been criticizing U.S. military policy, not American soldiers. The show was canceled the following June, which Maher and many others saw as a result of the controversy.
That was in poor taste.And now we have a candidate who routinely puts down the military and this stain is claiming both sides are equal.
I couldn’t agree more. The extremism on both ends needs to be abolished and both sides need to come together with good will and common sense.
I had a professor in college tell us that it was nice of God to give the land to the Jewish people, but perhaps he should have asked the people who lived there first.
Ok so when the Canaan's will return and ask for the land back we'll talk, until then, the Jews are the indigenous people of this land and were there 1700 years before the Arabs colonized this land in the year 638 after occupying it by force from the Byzantine Empire, but I hate to confuse you with facts.

There’s so much misinformation about the subject, it was the land of Israel before it was Palestine and I don’t even agree that something that was historically somebody’s should still be theirs, but let’s at least be accurate. maybe at the time in 1948 I would’ve had a different view but most of the people in Israel today were born there just like I probably live on some Indian tribes land in Northern California. But then that tribe probably took it from some other Indian tribe before that, leading to my reason for not really caring about who used to live somewhere, it’s a useless concept.
What they should concentrate on doing is solving the problem today and that’s not picking a date when everybody was where they were supposed to be and making people move because of course we’d have to fight over what date that is. They need to find a way in a place for Palestinians to have their own piece of land.
@@Bayhuntr And that's why Israel has offered 3 times(1993, 2000 and 2008) a Palestinian state with more than 95% of the Palestinians territorial demands, even Benjamin Netanyahu publicly agreed in 2010 to a two state solution, but it were the Palestinians who not only rejected these offers every single time, they also responded with waves of violence, every single time, and the reason is that they don't really want a two state solution, they want everything, because this conflict is not about land or who was there first, it's a religious conflict with the Muslim side openly saying they want all the Jews gone from all of the land, they are publicly saying it, all you need to do is listen.
What we consider "nice" in the 21 C wasn't never adequate before in world's history.
the jews lived there first
The bill mahers and joe scarboroughs of the country should form a single political party made of 2 different “old school” parties.
Bill Maher brings the ‘ the fresh air’ of common sense .
Dems represent the issues important to traditional conservatives far better than the party once known as the GOP. If you have principles & facts matters to you the decision is easy. Vote 💙!
Maher i hate the extremes, what the extremists he invites on his show every week, and enough of this both sides nonsense.
Imagine saying out loud, “I haven’t changed, the world has!” and still thinking you’re not (at least part of) the problem.
Let's make a list of the extremes of both the democratic and republican candidates (not the public) and then compare the lists. A person did not earn the wealth they inherited from their parents, but they also are responsible for the debt.
Liberals literally support Hamas, a terrorist, anti-Semitic org. LOL. Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib openly support Hamas.
I am tired of MAyer's extremes: extremely unfunny, extremely outdated, extremely out of touch.
Bill Maher is someone I don't always agree with... but he's someone I don't mind to disagree with because I always feel like it's a good conversation at the end of the day.
Were the rallies against the Vietnam war & the Iraq War Hamas rallies too grandpa ??
Me too, I don’t believe in religion or ideology. If ever there’s a problem, find solution through consensus and compromise.
Yes, Project 2025! 🎉
Both of you, please, run the country. Please.
Bill Maher hasn't changed.....
From Bernie Sanders to May Klobuchar
From medicare for all to obamacare is medicare for all
From liberals aren't to blame for Trump to they are completely to blame for Trump
It's fine if you've changed! No problem. Just don't gaslight us into thinking you haven't.
Not only has Maher changed, he changed TWICE in recent years. From liberal to right extremist.....now from right extremist to centrist. He's trying to get back in the good graces of the lef, but we aint having it.
1) College kids wearing Palestinian colors not hamas. That's on the student leaders to distinguish them also. Google the flags. Bill...and protesting against the genocide called by the UN not just the kids.... You, bill, remember the anti-vietnam war protests. Were you okay that conflict? It wasn't your people....2) Several other tribes where in the middle east 700 years ago not just the jews...The Mexicans could take back Phoenix and the indigenous people who were there for thousands of years, could take back mexico from the spanish... 3)History is always written by the bullies i.e. the so-called past and current winners.
LOL :)))))
"Walking around as a black man in America, I have more worry 😟 about the police 🚔 than the KKK."
~ W. Kamau Bell, American comedian and activist, former television host.
Bill Mahen presents himself as the voice of moderation while defending genocide.
Genocide is not what Israel is doing. There are way more Palestinians than there are Jews in the world.
@@RocStarr913 I really don't think that's how the International Criminal Court sees it.
@@lurx2024 It is biased by anti-Semitism.
@@RocStarr913 That's also how Norman Finklestein, Naomi Klein, Noem Chomsky, Avi Shleim, Tony Judt and Jewish Voices for Peace sees things.
@@lurx2024Those people are all in the minority.
Maher is a comedian, not a smart man. Why are we treating him as if he is intelligent?
The guy who went to Cornell isn't intelligent, would love to see your qualifications
@@Coolboy-gc9kb Maher has a bachelor's, so relax. Also, George Bush Jr went to Yale; so what's your point?
Bill Maher is very intelligent and has been on a major network for over 30 years!
@@sitcom1971 He's an ignorant person's idea of a smart man.
@@NCH_111-g7f That's your perspective.
The Middle ground and moving forward is the only way things get better.
They weren’t marching for Hamas, they were protesting the war and the discrimination against the Palestine people.
They were literally chanting “from the river to the sea.” That’s marching for Hamas.
Unfortunately some were absolutely marching for Hamas. Just Google “Hamas flag protests”
The far left and the far right are extremely problematic. But the far right is just worse
There is no far left.
The far right has controlled the White House and much of Congress. The far left has never controlled anything, yet Maher is annoyed by both.
@@anthonycameronnajera8471 Maybe you just do not know about them or not have heard their ideas, or you might be part of them
It’s a crazy world when these two guys agree and both actually make sense
“Extrem left” jajaja in the united States??
This.
The left didnt change the meaning of woke. That was repubs. That was desantis. It was even you Maher.
Bill Maher is essential to the Middle and INDEPENDENCE. Yes INDEPENDENTS Like myself and the Better Angels of both extremes. I don't mind honesty about BOTH sides, I despise lies about either side, savvy?
I truly believe most Americans will not vote for a person that utters the most insulting words about his own fellow Americans (c. half of the population) who do not bow to him; who has said repeatdly that his opponents ("the enemy from within") should be handled by the NG and even the Army.
Please listen to great American minds, such as Ralph Waldo Emerson:
“People do not seem to realize that their opinion of the world is also a confession of their character.”
or
Maya Angelou:
“ When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time
Mr. Trump's words reflect what he is.

Bill, let’s not put parties on a scale!!! That is not right!
What is happening in GOP last 8 years is scary and not comparable with DEM party 😮and you know it!😮
Yes, that’s why he said that in this video. 😂
I'm tired of Bill Maher.
“Marching for Hamas?” No, Bill it’s marching for Palestinians.
THANK YOU
Bill thinks all Arabs are terrorists!
There are many of them that are saying things like “globalize the intifada” and “from the river to the sea,” those are calls for Israel to be destroyed.
While chanting Hamas slogans, pictures of terrorist, chanting for destruction of Israel …
