This segment is never long enough
Bill knows he hates his guest by 'new rules' so the overtime gets shorter. Sad.
Are you kidding? My ears started to bleed two minutes in. lol
It could easily expand into a half hour show.
It’s a contractual obligation. He hates doing it and cuts it off as near the time contracted as possible.
Its never long enough. If I had Bill's job I would love it and I would want this segment to go on a long time. I can't understand why Bill hates this segment, its awesome.
“We’re all in this together” 😂 these people make me cackle

Who's here after seeing heitkamp's comments on Gina carano...
"Yeah I mean she's a n***...or, her friends are n***'s or maybe it was her neighbor's cousin, that was a n***? I'm not sure, but who cares we all want to hate her so insert n*** wherever it fits best, if at all, and moving swiftly on." Yeah she really pulled a kathy newman "so what you're saying is..." on this one. So lame that you can lose your career for literally saying "the party that's banning/burning books has historically been the party that was evil, with the irony being that the book-banning party is the one who frequently and consistently calls everyone they disagree with a member of the third reich. Which this heidi woman of course immediately proves. It'd be so much more hilarious if it wasn't so glaringly wrong and disheartening that you yourself are never at risk of losing your own career, as long as you're the one calling the other a n***
FUCKING PUTRID POMPOUS BIG YAP ASSLICK WITCH NEEDS TO BE PUT IN HER PLACE
One correction for Mr Williamson, about abortion in France. (I'm french and I'm a woman.) Abortion in France is legal since 1975, and it's not even a controversial topic. We can indeed get an abortion until the 3rd month (but if that's for a medical reason, like endangering the mother's life, or a malformation to the foetus, that's until the end of the pregnancy). But, unlike America, we have real sexual education in school (even in catholic ones) whitch inclued contraception and condoms (and not abstinence). Most young women are on birthcontrol and it's nearly free. Then, there is the "plan B" pill. But if you have delai on your periods, you can consult in any hospital (not in specific clinics outside of which there is scary anti-abortion activists), nobody will shame you, or try to pressure you into keeping it. Moreover, if you have a baby in France, there is : not expensive healf care, day-care, free schools (and neerly free universities). Most of the women with kids still work, and that's not a difficulty. So that's realy not the same deal.
Just because you're French and a woman, it doesn't make you more credible than someone not from France and not a woman.
@@lights473 She is perfectly right, though, on all counts. It is very surprising to us French to see Americans still discuss abortion and Climate Change and find it controversial.
@@lights473 Why are you so harsh, and what's your point? She didn't say she was more credible, she was simply stating interesting FACTS about abortion and sexual education in France where she lives, and I appreciated knowing more about it. There's lots of room on this comment thread for everyone to share their knowledge! Try to be kinder in your responses instead of attacking people unnecessarily.
@@lights473 so someone from the country, with a possible experience about what'a talked about, isn't more credible than someone not from the country who will never have to face that sort of sitation. Yeah, flawless logic
@@lights473 I kinda does though.....
Time to extend overtime to 30mins.
0:45 - first time I’ve disagreed with Katie Porter. I’m in the OC and in downtown LA most weeks, the wage disparity is inhumane. We absolutely need a maximum wage. I’m a corporate executive that runs three businesses and I support a maximum wage and progressive taxation.
Bill, these Overtime sessions are too short by half. You had it right when they were 15 + minutes long.
it needs to be a 2 hr show.
If you go back far enough sometimes they were only 4 min long.
Katie Porter, Katie Porter, Katie Porter!!! I cannot say enough how much I love this woman! So smart & brilliant! She shut Kevin Williamson down quick. When you confront a Republican w/ facts, they have no response. Awesome lady.
Kevin is not a Republican.
@@scottcraig1047 ...yes, he is.
@@theeric He is not a Republican; he has stated as much on many occasions. Try doing a little reading.
@@scottcraig1047 ...how about you look & listen to the video again. He's a hard right Republican. You & right-wingers like you can't take responsibility for your actions.
@@theeric Once again Eric, try reading a little bit. Kevin Williamson is not a Republican. He's written in his colums in National Review that he left the Republican party long ago, and on the podcast he cohosts with Charles Cooke; Mad Dogs and Englishmen, he has stated the same. He wrote a book, "The Case against Trump"; and is the strongest critic of Trump I have read. He is also a critic of many of the policies, or more accurately lack of policies, of the Republican party. Oh and I'm not a Republican either. I left the Democratic party over 20 years ago because I got fed up with the dishonesty and corruption of the Clintons and I registered independent.
Orange County, CA loves Katie Porter
...with the exception of evangelicals.
I'm in North County San Diego, and I love Katie Porter, too!
Kevin Williamson didn't tell the whole story about France and its abortion law - "Abortion in France is legal on demand up to 12 weeks after conception (14 weeks after the last menstrual period).[1] Abortions at later stages of pregnancy are allowed if two physicians certify that the abortion will be done to prevent grave permanent injury to the physical or mental health of the pregnant woman; a risk to the life of the pregnant woman; or that the child will suffer from a particularly severe illness recognized as incurable." (Wikipedia)
Are you allowed to tell the whole story on Bill Maher's show? It isn't a paradise for pendants if you hadn't noticed.
In India, abortion is completely legal and free in government hospitals. Only one O & G specialist upto 20 weeks and 2 beyond that. But gender selective i.e. female feticide is illegal.
Thanks for this!
Also let's be fair, after 12 weeks, roughely 3 months, people tend to have made up their mind whether they want the child or not.
thought it sounded strange. Thanks!
Katie Porter is a treasure
She reflects the ideals and values of Americans.
😂
U NEED MENTAL HELP ! U ARE WHATS WRONG WITH THE USA ! THINK THAT BLITHERING SH!T IS " ideals and values of Americans" ???????? REALLY ?????????? NO ideals and values of MORONS
How has it worked? Golden parachutes for executives that move jobs overseas and drove companies into the ground?
Look how well Boeing regulates itself. Profits over people. Companies have never and will never do the right thing. $$$ is all that matters.
EXACTLY. It's worked? WHEN? HOW? What the hell is she talking about? The only way capitalism has ever worked is for those WHO DON'T NEED THE HELP.
Are y’all communists ?
Are you going to preach National Socialism to global corporations?
@Ride or Dis WHITE MEN executives, let’s get that straight. (And yes, I’m a white man) but I call it like I see it.
Corporations are legally required to maximize profits. Anyone who doesn't think this will lead to corporation management being filled by people willing to do anything and sacrifice human wellbeing is a fool or deliberately ignorant.
Katie Porter is a Woman After my Own Heart!🥰💪😇
Why? Because she's a lip service only corporate Democrat who doesn't take actual progressive policy stances?
KATIE FOR PRESIDENT!!!
Go, Katie!
Williamson of course goes after Social Security before ever considering taxing the billionaire class - 3:01
Katie's answer was gold though! 💛💛💛
Conservative scumbag
Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid all need to go. They are Ponzi schemes and useless. Allow the legal worker to keep ALL their money and let them decide what to do with the windfall. Those that are smart and plan, well, they will do very well. Those that are stupid and useless, they will be the bane of themselves and of their families, not the entire nation. Local communities can take care of their own and they know who's scamming the system. End all welfare, it produces garbage.
@@DogsTeachPeople What's fair? The founding fathers said, "If you own 50% of your community's wealth producing assets, like property, you should be paying 50% of all tax revenue.
Then, we completely corrupted our system with an income tax on labor in 1913. The founders thought taxing wealth-creation by labor was INSANE.
Today, the top 20% own 92% of American wealth and pay only 69% of revenue. They literally lopped off 25% of their fair share...since 1913.
Since not taxing assets high enough to matter, which allowed asset-bubbles to occur again and again, we've had a Great Depression, a Great Recession and much more frequent AND deeper economic downturns.
We need the "Single Tax".
Tax ownership, NOT LABOR.
@TonyJeebus
Sigh. This is just idiotic.
Katie Porter is going to be president one day. She's amazing.
That she is !
No she won't.
@CD Smith sounds like u got it all figured out
“Not Oreo... REO...” 😉
Absolutely not she's very green I like her but she's no Progressive
Reagan started the "run the country like a business" thing, and did his "trickle-down economics", and it failed miserably. Reagan's economic policy took away the greatest opportunity of my life. I graduated the 1st grade in 4 months, passed the second-grade "final" and therefore passed 2nd grade, and because of my phenomenal SAT scores, I was formally-invited to join Space Camp by NASA officials in person. However, I was just barely 9 years old at the time, and Space Camp had a minimum age requirement of 14 for recruitment. Before I could turn 14, Reagan had given all the money away to the rich and the Space Camp program was all but scrapped for lack of NASA funding, and I lost my opportunity of a lifetime. Reagan may have been indirectly responsible for the Challenger disaster due to how tight he had forced NASA's budget while still demanding the same operational capacity.
Had Ronnie not decided to run America like a business, I would be typing this message from the ISS right now as a veteran certified cosmonaut and it would have taken longer to post because of literal distance and the speed of radio waves. Instead, I got two major car accidents and am now chair-bound, never to even come close to that dream again. Republicans kept trying to push this economic plan of their beloved deity Reagan (who they quickly forgot because it's now the party of Trump), and it has never worked and will never work. Republicans always push it now because it gets them richer, and damned be the rest of the American people who suffer for it, while their biggest challenge in life is which one of several luxury yachts to take out for the weekend while others wonder if they will eat anything tonight. Meanwhile the real genius in America is lost for nothing more than economic disparity, and I can't imagine how much has been lost already since then, or what we could have had if it was never lost from something so petty as avarice and incompetence.
“Capitalism is the extraordinary belief that the nastiest of men for the nastiest of motives will somehow work for the benefit of all.” ~ _John Maynard Keynes_
Capitalism is just a modern face for royal/noble forced servitudes.
Now, workth thee mine lands, and pays taxes to me, thee peasants...
I would not say that Bill Gates is the nastiest of men with the nastiest of motives though, but there is obviously a point in there.
False: Capitalism = the right for citizens to own capital. Stop quoting people you don't understand with no historical or economic context.
@@mitchelator9952 Don't tell me what I do or don't understand, you arrogant twit. I studied Keynesian macroeconomics at University and am well aware of the historical context of his theories of the free-market capitalist model. I quote the above statement attributed to Keynes merely as an addition to a the debate on the pros and cons of capitalism, not to make a definitive statement as to its nature. The rather banal definition you provide seems no more edifying than Keynes' aphorism, and is a good deal less elegant. :)
@@sinistral9629 These basic definitions may seem obvious to you, but for regular people with no technical training they are not. By muddying the definition through implication in a public space you are negatively impacting the public perception of capitalism. This is the reason there even is a "debate on the pros and cons of capitalism". Keep up the great work.
Thanks for the "Keep your chin up!" at the end, Bill. You too. Love ya.
Heidi Heitkamp and Katie Porter are two of the wisest women to have served in Congress!
We need more like them.
U NEED MENTAL HELP ! U ARE WHATS WRONG WITH THE USA ! THINK THAT BLITHERING SH!T IS WISDOM ???????? REALLY ??????????
Don't know who the guy on the far right was, but his body language said he was very displeased with that whole conversation.
another old prick who should have died decades ago.................
Kevin D. Williamson, conservative writer for the National Review. The guy is an antisocial misanthrope and an arrogant prick with some pretty out there ideas. And yet, he's an amazing writer, and quite possibly the smartest guy in that table.
The one good thing that came out of our disastrous politics is that I can proudly call Katie Porter my congresswoman. I really hope she runs for president someday
Wiliamson gets upset when good ideas or thoughts get an applause, while
his pretentious ideas are absolutely horrible and few support them. Call
it what it is: narcissism.
I think he gets irritated when stupid cheesy lines get applause.
He's a right wing douchebag used to applause in his right wing bubble. Not sure why Maher treated him like he was some fair moderate / centrist when he first introduced him and was shocked he kept disagreeing with him. It's like he got him confused with someone else or took his book title at face value. The real underlying point of his book is basically that the shrinking and increasingly more radical right should be given plenty of advantages to allow minority rule (as is currently the case) because majority rule is a "mob" and so very bad. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kevin_D._Williamson
@@the_letter_b Democracy is 3 wolves and 1 sheep voting on what's for dinner unless there are structural components that prevent it. Like a federal republic. Or you can have third world crap like the Lebanese and Iraqi constitutions which assign governmental positions based on ethnic/religious identification.
i call it what it really is "advice from another old man who should have died 20 or more years ago".................drop him off at the nearest lion cage and let mother nature take her due....................
@CD Smith Nah, he's a rich edgelord enlightened centrist who just has a few wedge issues that align liberal, like weed legalization and opposition to Trump. Mainstream Democrats align with enlightened centrists since both parties have moved rightward (except on social issues). He rarely has anyone left of Democrats on but often has the far right of Republicans and alt-light personalities on as special guests. He had alt-right hero Milo on and kept praising him.
Dictating orders to companies isn't socialism, it's authoritarianism.
Trump's tweet? He posted notice for those firms to make plans. How many people would pretend to be surprised if they were not delivered clear, concise directives? Make plans. Hardly a purge from Stalin.
Well, one could say it was of the Nazi variety
Very thin line between REGULATion and DICTATORSHIt!
Though, Trumpf ordering is him talking like a DICTATORSHIt. Not REGULATion.
@@1247.cccccc "HEREBY ORDERED." That's not a notice. That's an order.
A notice would be "Hey, just a heads-up...I'm fixin' to totally rat-fuck the entire world economy--if you wanna get your investment out of China, mebbe start thinkin' about it, okay?"
And Communism like China where the state control "private" markets. Nordic countries are democratic socialist and they are some of the happiest people on earth. We don't need full socialism just make capitalism work for everyone and a progressive tax system that rewards us at the bottom. One job per person. Period.
how about the more you pay your employees the bigger the tax-break the company gets. you don't pay your employees (the minimum wage ones) you get zero tax-breaks!
I'm firmly against socialism, equity, equality of outcomes, cash reparations and/or simply yoinking a bunch of money from folks who worked harder than most of us and got ahead, and giving it to every ding dong with a low iq and undesirable address. But this is one of the best suggestions I've ever seen. We've witnessed companies do literally everything to get profit. If they could do it by killing their employees, they'd make you sign an nda and not wear a helmet when you started. So if they could profit by paying the employees, they would, a bunch I imagine. Problem is they'd figure out a way through increasing the prices of everything, like they always do when there's an increase in the average worker's paycheck : /
Great idea though mate!
How'd Kevin Williamson get hired, much less last 3 whole days?
Ikr what an presumptuous loser
Because liberal outlets are so intent on appearing non-biased that they hire any Republican that appears to have a brain to say that they welcome opinions from all sides, failing to realize that "conservatives" are going to call them biased no matter what they do. Newspapers like The New York Times and Washington Post have conservative opinion people like Stephens, Douthat and Jennifer Rubin. Joe Scarborough and Nicole Wallace host shows on MSNBC. Michael Smerconish has his own show and a parade of right-wing loons and Trump apologists like Rick Santorum and Jack Kingston get airtime on CNN.
And what do these supposed liberally biased outlets get in return? The label of "fake news" by dimwitted idiots and their orange messiah.
@@terrence0258
> and their orange messiah
...while Trump is actually like the Pied Piper of Hameln. Because first he lured the rats (i.e. those who worship Trump because of his act) to drown,
and since Day One of his campaign and his presidency he's also luring the children (i.e. in a metaphorical sense, the future of the USA) into the void.
Hired where? He works for the right / conservative National Review, not a surprise. He briefly worked for The Atlantic, which is a bit surprising. They tend to be a bit centre-left. That said, not sure why Maher treated him like he was some fair moderate / centrist when he first introduced him and was shocked he kept disagreeing with him. It's like he got him confused with someone else or took his book title at face value.

You have to admit he earned Bill Maher's respect because you saw him basically apologizing for saying a cheap applause line by qualifying a later statement with "I am not looking for applause here."
Loving capitalism but not the responsibilty that comes with it, is a sure way to destroy capitalism!!! Some people don't get this. You're destroying the very alter you pray at. #WealthDistribution

@@shmookins I see it fairly often - I'd say a couple of times per month. I think that it might be a speech-to-text problem. Those things don't know grammar or usage.
@FitTallGayBlond I see it more as taking from those who have plenty and giving to those who haven't enough.
"The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much; it is whether we provide enough for those who have too little." - Franklin Delano Roosevelt
@FitTallGayBlond Stereotypes? Yeah those are always good.
If your income puts you in the top 10% - that's plenty. That's more money than you could ever spend, or will ever need.
Holy crap this panel wins the award for longest last names
Question 1 about maximum wage? The answer is progressive taxation. Most first world countries do this.
The left sometimes think they operate in a vacuum. If the right comes to dispise a tax, they will find a way to: a) avoid it or b) manipulate it so only the poor, middle class, & small and medium businesses to pay it. And as these higher taxes on the rich dont affect the people like they would the rich, the rich would fight it and the masses wouldn't care enough to stop their infinite lobbyists.

Katie Porter thinks capitalism will PREVENT people from getting too rich. How is that working out so far?
Problem: Capitalism needs to be rescued from itself. It's run amok
It seemed to work in the past, but greed is a pervasive thing. One of the things that people can't figure out is that no matter how much you have you can never take it with you. EX. David Koch just died after making huge sums of money. What use is it to him now?
@@deepattison9329 I like the points you made 👍 Greed has ruined capitalism. Is thar the crony capitalism I've heard about? It sure sounds that way
There is no problem with people getting too rich.
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you for posting Bill for us.
A maximum wage is not needed.
The only reasons to pay people more than they are worth are probably stuff that ought to be criminal anyway.
Katie Porter is a smart politician.
100% tax on death. 100% tax above 10 mil. Otherwise you're just a parasite.
No, she is not.
@@richarddecredico6098 Show your work.
What I get from this woman is general non-responsiveness to most sniping at Trump or the GOP because she's laser-focused on trying to call attention to and to fix stuff that's wrong. She won't take the bait coming from people in her own party and join in the easy-target bashing--she lets the comment roll off and immediately pivots to talking about the policy she's focused on.
This is called acting like a grown-up. Now, if what you're saying is that this behavior isn't smart politics, I guess I can cynically agree with that--since everybody lies and yells and makes incendiary comments, I guess somebody who says "just the facts, ma'am" is less likely to be considered a smart politician.
Stupid
I adore Katie Porter!
I like Katie but we absolutely do need a Maximum Salary. If you make over 5 Billion then I think you're set. Sometimes socialism isn't a bad thing.
What about tax up to 70% plus community service?
Billionaires are a policy failure! They have made our democracy irrelevant and have lit the world on fire
@@carolinezz8589 Certainly better than nothing but there is no reason a person needs 130 Billion dollars nor can they even spend or use it all. That money would be much better used being dispersed back into society for the people who actually need it and I think a %70 tax wouldn't quite cut it.
Agreed, Billionaires should be illegal imo. Every penny a person makes after making (definitely not earning) $999,999,999.99 should be taxed 100% [with of courss adjustment mechanics in place to account for inflation etc]
Progressive taxation. The more you make the more you are taxed.
Katie Porter needs to run for POTUS in '28. She slapped Michael Smerconish with her answer about wanting to pay people a better wage.
Love how after Williamson was so damn patronizing and Kate Porter spoke....very.....slowly....so....the ....horrible....man....can....understand.
She is currently one of the sharpest people in Washington, but she may be wrong about the need for maximum wage caps.
@@deepattison9329
I agree.
Maybe a cap on bonuses instead of wages.
I 💟 Katie Porter!
I like how that Katie lady keeps saying "that's socialism"...like she even knows what that is...America, every society needs socialist programs...people need to help people..that's how we survive..but yea..Americans don't get it.
She knows exactly what socialism is, and approves of socialist programs. She was actually making a shrewd political point, that Democrats like her and Elizabeth Warren are going to be called "socialists" by the Republicans no matter what, even though what they are proposing is a strengthening of capitalism, through a more progressive taxation, new regulations, and, yes, socialist programs. Come general election time next year, they and the party will be in a position to paint the Republicans as the socialists, socialists for the wealthy and powerful. Turning the tables, and it might just work! In any case, don't fret, she supports socialist programs.
Go watch the vid of Katie tearing a bank CEO a new one over starting wages. She's on our (working people's) side.
Another American who doesn’t get sarcasm lol
Gelis; nope
Ya'll have no idea what you're talking about--do you?
Love his discussions, wish they went on a little longer.
I'm a bit amused at how Porter came out swinging and made Maher go 'Don't yell at me, yell at the person who asked the question'.
Either way, capitalism needs guard rails since the invisible hand of the market is a middle finger.
Leaving it up to share holders is exactly why things are so awful right now.
Yes, leaving it to shareholders is useless, all they want is shareholder profit. Use taxes, cut loopholes and actually prosecute if people aren't abiding by the rules, but there does need to be a type of maximum pay by being a maximum multiplication of the lowest paid worker in that company or the median wage in that company - give them an incentive to raise pay for their workers, not just the ones at the top..
BlackKnight03
No, you dummies.
What she’s talking about -but could never really say it due to the jingoistic attitude of many Americans- is a capitalist model like that of Germany where workers and unions own 40% of stocks in the company and have one or more representatives in the boards that make the decisions. She has a vision of workers in Amazon for example, being able to unionize and make money out of the work that they put into the company. That is the reason why the AfD in Germany is a fringe party and Merkel was elected for another 4 years period. Because although Germany is the 3 largest economy in the world they don’t have the levels of inequality and social fracture that we are seeing in America.
@@Etatdesiege1979 that's what it sounded like to me, too.
I liked Katie Poter's previous guest spot on Real Time as well. She flummoxed Bill😄
Shareholders have a very limited knowledge of the people they are asked to vote in favor of and it would require considerable time and effort to research them. They serve on multiple boards to keep the net tight around investors. Better yet the boards should pay three investors to serve on the boards to give input and help understand how they work or don't work. A little knowledge can be a powerful thing.
@@deepattison9329 Knowledge IS power! Again, thank you 😊

Judging solely on this clip. You’re better off without Heidi and Katie.
You what’s funny about running the government like a business? Why doesn’t it apply to Congress? Shouldn’t their pay be frozen, benefits reduced and cut back on all their vacation and time off?
That guy on right most side speaks truth, Americans gonna boat.

I want to scream at Katie Porter. She makes no sense and is talking out of both sides of her mouth.
Charles Willis she started off good in congress but her views now in public at least are changing into more moderate but I think it’s because she has to get elected again in 2020 in OC which is a red county

Bill's idea to just "buy the Amazon" won't work unless the buyer(s) are also willing to enforce their property rights. Illegal logging and clearing for agriculture are major drivers of deforestation in the rainforest.

Most of society has an extremely limited understanding of science and limited vision for the coming disaster.
Yeah, instead of laughing at "how will it pay for itself?!", think about the jobs it will create, since it brings a whole shift along with it. It doesn't mean that unemployment will be solved, but new jobs will open up to provide the new demand for green tech.
Besides, they're spending over half a trillion a year on military, cutting that in half will already open up about 2,5% of total cost of the plan (based on the 16trillion figure).
Also, if technology advances as we focus on the new possibilities, military spending would also likely decrease if better deals can be made, think of DARPA having easier access to batteries and robotics.
In other words, more efficient spending, instead of building obsolete tanks etc.
Then of course, ideally, the costs of energy and production will go down, making products cheaper and leaving more money for the people to spend, which brings in more tax money, which also helps paying off the initial 16 trillion investment.
It all sounds very "scary Socialist-Communist", but it is merely the result of a combined effort to combat disaster.
bwahahahah... no
"like a dwarf with a scroll" - lmfao
I love how these Democrats talk about climate change and income inequality and never mention Bernie Sanders. Gotta love moderate Democrats. Bernie 2020.
Agreed. Also all the talk about the environment and no mention that Heidi Heitkamp supported the DAPL pipeline against the Native Americans. She is in big oil's pocket.
Much of rich peoples income isnt subject to tax at all. Say you own an apartment building and it doubles in value. If you never sell it, you pay no tax. But you can go to the bank, refi your loan, and get the cash. Tax free. When you die, your heirs get a step up in basis. The gain is never taxed. Same with other assets.
Katie is so smart, I would vote for her as president
I love Katie Porter. Love her.
Never understood American obsession with the Stock Market... people should consider investing ONLY if they can afford to lose that money. If they cannot, then they should not invest. Very simple. In addition, every household should have a minimum of 6 months worth of monthly expenses put away. Again, very simple mathematics
I basically agree with you, but in America, most citizens retirement is locked up in the stock market due to 401k's. It's just a bad system.
scott b totally agree... heartbreaking

"Hi Bill" Porter INSISTS on basic manners & decorum no matter WHO you are!
It almost sounds like they’re all independently coming to the conclusion that a freedom dividend is what we’re gonna need...
If I as a RN have a duty to my patients, then CEOs who would never help a stranger have a duty to pay higher taxes. If I as a veteran at one time signed a blank check that might include my life, then CEOs have a duty to pay higher taxes as they would never carry a rifle, in uniform defending our country (neither their children).
That was a great imitation of Merkel and Trump.
that was a waste of time
Get ALL Corporate Politicians out of our government!

Bill, says “His Spirit animal Putin. Isn’t there!”.
Good for Porter. She actually gave a serious answer to Maher's stupid question. Did you notice how uncomfortable Maher looked as she gave a reasoned, thoughtful answer? Maher kept looking for the opportunity to turn the discussion into a punch line.
That's the entire point of a recession.
Adversity is the greatest spur for progress. If regular people can still afford everything they want, they will not bother to look at what's going on at the top. But when the world shakes and regular people are hungry, inevitably they will raise their voices and look for the culprits, look for answers.
Hopefully.
This is the same argument I heard from Democrats who voted for Trump. “It’ll destroy the Republican Party” Always try to minimize suffering, don’t root for regular people to be hurt worse than they already are. Btw, 40% of Americans are already hungry
Watch Trump manage to convince a lot of Americans about who is to blame for the recession. I'm gonna go on a limb and say the culprits will be mainly yellow and brown people.
Katie Porter was the ONLY reason I watched this!!
If the audience didnt laugh so much and Bill kept a straighter face, he just may have bought it... his excellency, the chosen one ... chosen by Putin that is!! ARGH!!
My friend proposed a ratio system: the CEO can only earn X times as much as the lowest earning worker.
That could make a big change without a cap on maximum wages.
VOTE Blue to restore sanity in 2020!!
SANITY NOW!!
That reminds me, i made a S!N (Stop Idiocy Now!) Facebook page some years ago, but never did anything with it, and probably never will, but i just wanted to mention it :P
Michael Anderson no because borders were never open. Trump increased border crossings and has created a humanitarian crisis. It turns out stupidity and hate is a bad strategy.
Michael Anderson oh and the gender stuff... who cares??
Michael Anderson well the gop is a white supremists hate group. They have caused an increase in intolerance and violence
Michael Anderson its amazing how the bar is so low for the gop. Their base is really very ignorant
Watch all the time...one of the best shows this season.
I’ve said for 20 years that no human needs more than $1 million per year. Everyone who has disagreed with me makes less than $1 million per year.
Who the hell have you been talking to? EVERYONE I know says the rich shouldn't be allowed to have as much money as they want. Greed begets more greed.
So if you are selling a property for 2 million can I get for only 1 million because it's not right that a person should have a piece of property worth that much?
philliesphan312 No I think the buying and selling of goods and services can be whatever price the market decides. I think what he’s saying is no ones salary needs to be more than 1 million dollars a year. That makes sense to me.
@@DG-kd5bs well his post says "no human needs more than $1 million per year." There is nothing that says except if you are selling a good or service. And even if he did say that the only way for it to work would be to cap goods and services at a certain amount.
If you make $1 million per year, you can buy almost whatever you want to. A $2 million home would be well within your reach since there are plenty of people who buy $500,000 homes and only make $150,000 per year. What I'm saying is the greed excess that is fueled by people feeling they need to make as much as they can is unhealthy for the future of humanity. I'm no economist but it's probably unhealthy for the future of capitalism as well. Also, I'm not against profit, improving your life situation, making more this year than you did last year, but when do you have enough? $1 million per year would be a raise for me and I'm sure for the majority of people. It's a Utopian argument anyway.
Katie Porter is just awesome
Bill was in a hurry..ready to quit OT after 6 min :)
Katie Porter for president, she's amazing
Sorry, Katie, I don't agree. This nonsense about every American being a shareholder is insane. Most Americans don't know ANYTHING about these matters. We need a cap on income. NOBODY NEEDS A BILLION DOLLARS.
PERIOD.
nobody 'needs' a lot of things.
Oh, cut the crap. Buying a Masarati is not going to unbalance the fucking economy. Sucking BILLIONS out of the country WILL and DOES.
@@Serai3 That's true, buying a Maserati will not unbalance the economy... But you know what would? Creating unfair, unequal distribution of wealth thanks to the government. The economy works well when there is fairness and people can work towards their own goals on their own terms. Those who are most productive are rewarded accordingly. Anything else would kill the economy because those who are most productive and useful would be demotivated to go the extra step. Why go through the effort to create a mega corporation when you know all your money will be confiscated anyway.
The economy is not a zero sum game. Some people having more money than me does not negatively affect my life in any way. The government is the most unfair, unequal, unintelligent, inefficient way to redistribute wealth and help people. The govt. should exist but by in large, it's far too big for its own good and only breeds corruption. Govt. encourages the creation of monopolies and oligopolies, encourages waste and abuse, creates markets that shouldn't exist, destroys other markets. Govt. in many circumstances creates more issues than it solves.
Its handling of healthcare and education is a complete abomination.
Respect,Admire,Believe in Katie Porter
MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! TAX THE RICH!!
like in the 50's-60's when banks weren't the largest building in every city.
Every decent human being Loves Katie
What G7 participant is going’s to deal with a premature lame-duck President?
Patricia L HAHAHHAHA the quack sent me
Walt Schmidt it’s a typo dipshit..
I wish overtime was longer
I love how Bill just dissed David Koch and minutes later is sitting with Heidi Heitkamp, who received Koch money just last year
THANK YOU! I was incensed that no one took Heidi to task. All the talk about the environment and no mention that Heidi supported the DAPL oil pipeline against the Native Americans.
I agree with Heidi: we need to end different tax rates for earned and unearned income, which was Reagan's big gift to the super rich. Arguments about the correct tax rate on earned income pale in comparison.
Instead of taxing the rich more, why not have laws that stipulate a percentage of a company's revenue must go to the employees.
More govt. controls. Stupid idea.
I love how Rep Porter reacts to Kevin WIlliamson's remarks about buying a fast boat.
I always crack up when I see Heidi Heitkamp giving her two cent advice to candidates on how to win a race, she freaking lost her own race. She should go into the woods just as Hilary did.
Saw Katie’s name and clicked. Didn’t see Maher’s . He had gone the wrong way.
so true about the pouting
Average people do invest in the market, 401k, ira, common shares
Lol, the guy on the right said "americans are the wealthiest people in the history of the world". He has been listening to Andrew Yang! It is so great to hear Andrews words echoing all over the place.
Did someone forget the Saudis?
.."workers being paid a reasonable wage compared to a CEO," -sounds to me like a formula with 'magic' numbers IS what we need!!
exceptionally good show last night and overtime, too
Bass boats are awesome.
warren buffet should pay more taxes than his personal assisstant/secratary
A good way for average people to "fight back" would be to tell us HOW!
