Wrong. Wrong. Wrong. Trae is wrong. "Liberals" are wrong. The media is wrong. "The rest of them" are wrong. Everyone's wrong. Except for you. Clearly you feel you know the score.
***** Well, people I actually listen to predicted Trump would win. I wasn't wrong. They weren't wrong. The problem with liberals is they have lost touch with reality. The media was simply spinning their echo chamber. It was completely obvious to people with common sense. Trae is just your run of the mill moron. Listening to him is like listening to some drunk at the bar who says he can predict the outcome of football games. The fact that many liberals can't spot a BS artist is a big part of their problem.

Oh, I don't think liberals (or a good number of conservatives either) had any trouble spotting a bullshit artist. In fact, 2.5 million (and counting) more voters were able to correctly identify the bullshit artist in this election, and make a wiser choice. Doesn't Secretary Clinton now have the largest popular vote margin in history for anyone who suffered a potential electoral college loss? Clearly there's still a majority of American voters can still recognize and avoid the stench of a bullshit artist, so at least that's encouraging. But all that aside, you seem to be under the impression that Trae didn't realize that there was strong support for Trump in working-class America. Didn't you even *listen* to Trae these past months? Far from being wrong, he was in fact *precisely* right about how those voters thought and what they'd do. That's part of what makes him funny. His uncanny accuracy. The week before the election he begged them not to do what he knew they'd do, because unlike so many of the people he loves, Trae was *also ^able to identify the bullshit artist billionaire who was playing them and he tried with all his heart to warn them. To warn us all. And he's precisely right about how they'll respond when Trump starts handing plums to his rich cronies with no regard for the long-term economic viability of Appalachia or working class whites across America. They won't blame Trump, because that would be uncomfortably close to blaming themselves for falling for a con man. They'll twist their brains into knots in order to blame anything and anyone but Trump. And how does Trae know this? Because he lives among them and they are the people he loves and knows. It's the same way I know it.
I don't think it's him being a prophet, but rather, he just knows our history better than others. When you notice a trend, it becomes painfully easy to predict people.
MAGA - unpacked means America wasn't and still isn't "great". So Trump got a bunch of people who think America is and always has been great / the greatest to vote for him by telling them that America isn't great and thg en making them wear a hat in case they forget.

And the mother-object, you ask? What about her hopes & dreams? Her goals, ideas, talents & gifts that she longs to share with the world, the contributions she was born to make? Her interests, passions & desires for her life? Her right to choose - even have a say - in determining the course of her entire life - her only life - for herself? What about her standing as an “equal” citizen of this nation - where she is required to follow the laws & pay her equitable share of taxes, where she votes - the nation that has been her home, that she loves (and has possibly served) as a patriot, where she is promised the same “inalienable” rights as all other Americans? What about her humanity, her very personhood, her bodily autonomy? What about her freedom to choose - to even have a say - on what happens to her own body, based on all the above plus much more- her personal, financial, relational & even health reasons? Well, she’s just an object. None of that stuff applies. If by some strange chance someone has read this, thank you for allowing me to have a voice. Even just on YT. Peace to all. 💛
People forget West Virginia at one time had a strong workers movement, and that was very left leaning. I am a northerner, but I was in the military, and was stationed in Virginia. I have been in other places in the south there are plenty of good people there. Unfortunately the worst people seem to get the most attention, and the most traction.
William, your comment reminds me of these words from Albert Einstein - "There are two things that are infinite, the universe and stupidity - and I'm not so sure about the universe."
I heard about a workers union rebellion in the early 1900's, in West Virginia on public radio. But now i have forgotten the name of it. And the workers were both white and black.
Facebook doesn't help, neither. It's tearing us apart with the polarization it uses to keep people's attention via stirring up anger. They profit more the more time people spend there. More anger = more time spent. It's sickening.
@@blakebrown534 Yes, but let's widen the the picture. Their are bad actors out there that are using Facebook for nefarious purposes.

Twenty-five years from now, the last two Chumps will stare at each other, and one will say: "You know, Clem, we was flim-flammed, and by a dadburn New York yankee!".
As a southern liberal I always ask southern Trump supporters one question, if Trump was your neighbor would you like him? Of course they'll dance around the question but deep down they know they wouldn't. Southerners usually hate braggards and loud mouths. Nothing about Trump's personality would endear him to anyone in the south. I'm also amazed because he's a crass New Yorker and that usually isn't a good fit for southerners. I remember a conversation I had with a local Trump supporter and part of my argument was to site a New York Times article. The other guys response was, we don't need New Yorkers telling us how to think. You can't make this stuff up folks.
I might not be crazy about him being my neighbor, but I would still stay. NOW IF HILLARY was my neighbor, you could bet EVERYTHING that I would be willing to take a loss on the sale of my house just to get away from the evil, murdering Clintons.

As a center-liberal college educated member of the “coastal elite”, who grew up in 1960s middle-class suburban New Jersey and has been living in a medium sized New England city for the past 35 years I have also discovered the following: My city a very large number of southern “rednecks”. People don’t realize this because MY “rednecks” - who are mostly from North Carolina are descendants of African slaves. They work “working class” jobs, many are into guns, many are “quick to anger”, they don’t like being “talked down to”, are suspicious of “elites”, and love drive their ATVs and motocross motorcycles all over town on Saturday night. It really IS uncanny. Yeah…”racism” may be a component of how Americans perceive what is “redneck”…but its cultural origins really DO have a strong class and regional component to it. Two generations later the grandkids all have white collar jobs if they can somehow manage to ditch the southern accent - a liability for anyone of any race trying to make it in what stands as the “elite working world” north of the Mason Dixon line. Uber-Conservative Black social theorist Thomas Sowell actually wrote a book on the subject: Black Rednecks and White Liberals

Pretty damn impressionable, at the very least. And I say that as someone who grew up in the south. They lack the ability to think for themselves. That's why many of them are Christian and Racist. Because everyone around them is. Trae is such a breath of fresh air because shaking off southern conditioning is really difficult, and takes a certain type of person. Smarter? Who's to say. But more capable of thinking for themselves? I think that's undebatable.
People are people, not easily defined blocks. I'm Asian, but my father remarried into a white southern family. Through this, I've gotten to know and learn about a completely different culture and of family-strong, hardworking values. Its a weird statement to hear from an Asian, but people forget white people are people too. Not all southerners are poor, bigoted and uneducated. They come in all kinds. Southerners were not only the people to call in the police on Martin Luther King and civil rights leaders, they were also the people marching WITH Martin Luther King and civil rights leaders. It really is hard to watch so many people write off so many people as lost causes and as bigots because of their background. I find more and more that working class southerners have way more in common with my family's immigrant background, and that we have much less in common with the rich politician types that call to us on television. I just want to say to everyone that people like Trae are the South too, and that they are the southerners forgotten too often. I think, if people were to listen and get to know them as a whole and didnt write them off, they would not be scared or angered into voting for men like Trump.
Remember all those stories about the people who brought their whole families AND a picnic basket to lynchings and had a great time? Their descendants elected Trump.
Arkansas has beautiful topography. It's a beautiful country, America. I want to see it all before I can't. I've heard certain parts are dangerous and not hospitable but I live in OK and it can get a bit rough in the town I'm in. More than rough.
That's why I just cut it down to Trae talking and that one interaction with Bill to set up his point. I don't tend to watch a lot of Bill Maher, but liked this episode decently.
He's as good as you are Bill I watch him and I watch you and you're both amazing and Trey is really up there maybe he deserves a show on network TV I don't know see if you make that happen for him please
I have to agree with Trae. I honestly don't see how a bunch of down home country folk, thought that Trump, a NYC boy who lives in Upper East side Penthouses and would sooner attend a Broadway play, than a county fair...is "one of them".
The term redneck comes from unionists who literally fought wars against corporate interests that treated them like cattle. It was birthed in liberalism, but whatever.
There's a lot of false information floating around, so maybe this isn't true, but I heard that the median income of the Trump voters was $72000 a year. That's not poor whites, or poor anybody. That's middle class or working class. Again, if it's true, half of college-educated women voted for him. I still don't think I understand what happened. But it's clear to me it was something dark and ugly. I think it will take time and perspective to understand and turn it around.
It was most likely white, working class people in the rust belt that won the election for Trump. He won because that historically democratic demographic abandoned the democratic party.
Tyler Adam - It isn't reasonable to focus on the Rust Belt and ignore all of the other states that Trump won. He wouldn't have won with just the Rust Belt. It's like Hillary supporters trying to blame Bernie supporters. She didn't get votes from people who voted for Trump, people who didn't vote at all, etc. She got far less votes than Obama did. It was a lot more than Bernie supporters who didn't vote for her. And by the way, she's to blame because she's a terrible candidate. .
June Pearl what was dark and evil about it? the dems were caught cheating and still couldn't win... this educated white woman won't tolerate lies and deceptive practices that Hillary pulled. let's face the facts, Trump won, accept it!
June Pearl The shear insanity of the left caused many otherwise dems to switch. Crimony, now we have the million munchkin march to train 5 yr old kids how to protest for more recess time? Theres a point at which people say, "i was with you till you went off the deep end".

Or once the baby is in school, i.e. being subjected to (and, as a child, forced to cope with the fear & anxiety of facing) the daily risk of getting shot…
Or once the kid begins to realize it was born with some innate differences in sexuality and/or born in the wrong body, endures being bullied & mistreated, has a far greater likelihood of a plethora of self-destructive behaviors & even suicide… bc it is forced to survive in a world that is cruel & discriminatory simply due to the brain/body it was born with…
well, screw ‘em.
And the mother-object, you ask? What about her hopes & dreams? Her goals, ideas, talents & gifts that she longs to share with the world, the contributions she was born to make? Her interests, passions & desires for her life? Her right to choose - even have a say - in determining the course of her entire life - her only life - for herself?
What about her standing as an “equal” citizen of this nation - where she is required to follow the laws & pay her equitable share of taxes, where she votes - the nation that has been her home, that she loves (and has possibly served) as a patriot, where she is promised the same “inalienable” rights as all other Americans? What about her humanity, her very personhood, her bodily autonomy? What about her freedom to choose - to even have a say - on what happens to her own body, based on all the above plus much more- her personal, financial, relational & even health reasons?
Well, she’s just an object.
None of that stuff applies.
If by some strange chance someone has read this, thank you for allowing me to have a voice. Even just on YT.
Peace to all. 💛
Trae Crowder, I am such a fan. You rock.
People forget West Virginia at one time had a strong workers movement, and that was very left leaning. I am a northerner, but I was in the military, and was stationed in Virginia. I have been in other places in the south there are plenty of good people there. Unfortunately the worst people seem to get the most attention, and the most traction.
William, your comment reminds me of these words from Albert Einstein - "There are two things that are infinite, the universe and stupidity - and I'm not so sure about the universe."
I heard about a workers union rebellion in the early 1900's, in West Virginia on public radio. But now i have forgotten the name of it. And the workers were both white and black.

Facebook doesn't help, neither. It's tearing us apart with the polarization it uses to keep people's attention via stirring up anger. They profit more the more time people spend there. More anger = more time spent. It's sickening.
@@blakebrown534 Yes, but let's widen the the picture. Their are bad actors out there that are using Facebook for nefarious purposes. We need some wider oversight, that does not profit from troll traffic.
I also believe we should consider a public health advertising campaign, to keep some people out of the troll traps. I think this is where our religious community is failing. Jesus commanded us to Love. Where are the people standing up to fight against the hate filled public dialogues?

I would give him his own show here in Idaho. We're one of the reddest states. We need him.

It's all they have. Meanwhile Mueller's grand jury is indicting it's way to Trump himself.
You really are dumb, pardon me. Trump removed HRC from the political landscape, he's a great American hero. If you dont understand...just forget talking about it

Great video, but you skipped Trae's best statement of the night:
"Do you want to be right, or do you want to f**kin' WIN?"
Yeah. I accidentally deleted it while editing and didn't notice until I had already uploaded. Sorry, y'all

Love Trae Crowder!
Trae’s a good kid. It’s good to see him having some success.
Listening to Trae gives me hope.
100% correct prediction. "Hell fuck it up and they'll still try to blame us"
Great commentary. I'm a veteran from Harlem with close family in the deep south. I shared Mr. Crowder's perspective on all of these subjects.
Twenty-five years from now, the last two Chumps will stare at each other, and one will say: "You know, Clem, we was flim-flammed, and by a dadburn New York yankee!".
As a southern liberal I always ask southern Trump supporters one question, if Trump was your neighbor would you like him? Of course they'll dance around the question but deep down they know they wouldn't. Southerners usually hate braggards and loud mouths. Nothing about Trump's personality would endear him to anyone in the south. I'm also amazed because he's a crass New Yorker and that usually isn't a good fit for southerners. I remember a conversation I had with a local Trump supporter and part of my argument was to site a New York Times article. The other guys response was, we don't need New Yorkers telling us how to think. You can't make this stuff up folks.
If that ass hole was my neighbor id be in jail for assault. For real !!!
Some of just remember what he always was ,unliked
I might not be crazy about him being my neighbor, but I would still stay.
NOW IF HILLARY was my neighbor, you could bet EVERYTHING that I would be willing to take a loss on the sale of my house just to get away from the evil, murdering Clintons.
I'd love to have a beer with this guy. Spread the love man
I love Trae. Such an insightful guy...and so damn funny!
I remember the first vid I saw of him, he had me DYING LAUGHING! ever since then I was fucking hooked. ...love this dude man...he's very open minded & understanding... he's so cute to!
How is he open he's always bashing people who don't think like and any man that says it's OK for transgenders to use the same bathroom as little girls is not a man

@@agentorange81 commies no that's the democrats you have to think like them to be a democrat you have to be tolerant of everything when it's not in human nature to be completely fine with any and everything that includes you but that's how ya have to be when it comes to the eyes of the democrats you pretty much are ok with being a slave and not thinking for yourself well that's why I'm glad I'm registered as a republican I can think however I want and be however I want and not be a slave so how's the republicans racist?? When the democrats think all black people should vote for them?? Like how racist oh you probably come from poverty so you have to vote for us cause we're giving out child support and food stamps that's the mind of democrats just to let ya know I like feeling free it's just a good feeling I actually feel sorry for democrats to be honest cause the whole slave mentality that party represents
As a center-liberal college educated member of the “coastal elite”, who grew up in 1960s middle-class suburban New Jersey and has been living in a medium sized New England city for the past 35 years I have also discovered the following:
My city a very large number of southern “rednecks”. People don’t realize this because MY “rednecks” - who are mostly from North Carolina are descendants of African slaves. They work “working class” jobs, many are into guns, many are “quick to anger”, they don’t like being “talked down to”, are suspicious of “elites”, and love drive their ATVs and motocross motorcycles all over town on Saturday night. It really IS uncanny.
Yeah…”racism” may be a component of how Americans perceive what is “redneck”…but its cultural origins really DO have a strong class and regional component to it. Two generations later the grandkids all have white collar jobs if they can somehow manage to ditch the southern accent - a liability for anyone of any race trying to make it in what stands as the “elite working world” north of the Mason Dixon line.
Uber-Conservative Black social theorist Thomas Sowell actually wrote a book on the subject: Black Rednecks and White Liberals
Awesome to see this video 4.5yrs later. Highly intelligent guy...love his videos. 👍
I feel like Trae has saved my liberal life!
How?
Trae...Please just keep makin' it real.
Crazy how the comedian guest talks more sense than the analysts Host.
pwoodson21 The host is a comedian. I'm sure you're the ONLY one that's ever called him an analyst
maher is an idiot...at least he has good guests...superior son of a bitch...
does he ever shut up?...new show...maher on maher...
sharisse wright MAHER HAS GOTTEN SO FRUSTRATING! Renewed for yet another season which surprised me
I just love everything that this guy says. He gigs both sides but most especially those who deserve it! I would love to see him in person sometime. Keep going Trae you tell it like it is!
*Chiming in from Mississippi...* "Trae Crowder is a national treasure! So much unpretentious wisdom in one seemingly regular guy... and yes, there are many more of us like him here in the South. Thank you Trae, my friend for showing the world an educated man can have a Southern accent!"

I love this guy.
Why
will be watching ore of this guy. refreshing and very acurate coming from someone who lives in the south he knows what he talking about.
Yes he does.
I feel u live in knoxville
He gets it
I still think this is some of the best insights into Trump I have heard.
these are
Trae elevated the honesty quotient on this show about 5000% above normal.
Four years from now, this guy is gonna be a rock star and have his own show on HBO. He's way funnier than Maher because he's young, he's fresh, he's brutally honest, and he's not sanctimonious like Maher is. The next four years are gonna provide him with enough material to build an empire. I'm telling you, Bill had better watch his back or this guy's gonna early retire him from HBO.
Great compilation!!! You really left me wanting more.
Please!
You just implied that Bill Maher is old. Now he’s gonna complain again about how everyone is age-ist lol Sorry Bill, but not wanting a senior citizen for President is just logical. If you’re too old to get up when you slip in the shower, you probably shouldn’t be the person to be making split-second decisions about the safety of an entire nation.
What happened?
Why does it have to be that? Here they're riffing together. It's not a competition.
He's funnier than Bill because Bill just isn't funny. Never has been.
But also, Trae is hilarious and deserves success.
I've lived in nwf since 1974 and have quit 2 jobs since Bidens been elected. 2 of the best things I've ever done and my life...and raised a 17 year old Democrat. 🖕the oompaloompa.
seriously, Judge Judy could've won
Bob Sanders shes a trumpet fyi
I've lived around these people all my life too.
Same.
I had no idea Trae was on the Bill Maher show, I've been subbed to his TH-cam channel for almost two years, he's is an amazing person.
Why was Hillary a better choice?
@@davidlafleche1142 I'm guessin' you wouldn't get it, so why even try.
Trae you are the best! Someone needs to let the rest of the world know that we ain't really stupid, just a little bit.
Everybody's a little bit
Pretty damn impressionable, at the very least. And I say that as someone who grew up in the south. They lack the ability to think for themselves. That's why many of them are Christian and Racist. Because everyone around them is. Trae is such a breath of fresh air because shaking off southern conditioning is really difficult, and takes a certain type of person. Smarter? Who's to say. But more capable of thinking for themselves? I think that's undebatable.
People are people, not easily defined blocks.
I'm Asian, but my father remarried into a white southern family.
Through this, I've gotten to know and learn about a completely different culture and of family-strong, hardworking values.
Its a weird statement to hear from an Asian, but people forget white people are people too.
Not all southerners are poor, bigoted and uneducated.
They come in all kinds.
Southerners were not only the people to call in the police on Martin Luther King and civil rights leaders, they were also the people marching WITH Martin Luther King and civil rights leaders.
It really is hard to watch so many people write off so many people as lost causes and as bigots because of their background.
I find more and more that working class southerners have way more in common with my family's immigrant background, and that we have much less in common with the rich politician types that call to us on television.
I just want to say to everyone that people like Trae are the South too, and that they are the southerners forgotten too often.
I think, if people were to listen and get to know them as a whole and didnt write them off, they would not be scared or angered into voting for men like Trump.
I love Trae Crowder....he's representing the South in a good way...
How?
Remember all those stories about the people who brought their whole families AND a picnic basket to lynchings and had a great time? Their descendants elected Trump.
Trae, your representation for the good is so close to my heart. I truly love and appreciate you Sir.
'We should have ran Judge Judy.'
Priceless.
Trae is the nostradamus of the 21st century! Everything he said then came to be.
I would love to see trump being judged by judy
ME TOO! oh, imagine if they were running against eachother... he'd be terrified!
Even when Trump got 80% of the vote in backwoods Arkansas 20% voted against him. Remember that.
Arkansas has beautiful topography. It's a beautiful country, America.
I want to see it all before I can't. I've heard certain parts are dangerous and not hospitable but I live in OK and it can get a bit rough in the town I'm in. More than rough.
This episode made me a fan of yours, Trae. Great job.
2021 and this is still one of my favorites...so much truth!!
I'm just curious what you considered truth
This is making me so happy
They'll find a way to blame us!! This has aged quite well!! lol
Has it though? And what have you been blamed for?
They'll find a way to blame liberals. You called that one! Lol
My favorite Southerner. And I've got hundreds or even thousands of cousins from Virginia to points south and southwest.
I’ve had a crush on Trae Crowder for awhile now. He’s SO GOD DAMNED CUTE
He is indeed yummy.
Don't beat yourself up about not seeing it coming Trae. 45 did have some help from the Kremlin.
Good for you, spot on Trae, GBO!
Spot on great video
Cause reasons....
Great compilation, Nikki! Thanks for posting. I wish they had let Trae talk longer, though!
Thank you for watching. I will try to upload some more soon!
I felt like Bill was kinda of a dick to him honestly. He cut Trae off constantly.
Have you ever seen when other people interview Maher? He's always a dick.
That's why I just cut it down to Trae talking and that one interaction with Bill to set up his point. I don't tend to watch a lot of Bill Maher, but liked this episode decently.
And stupid about this, Maher bring the guy to explais and then blow him off, brilliant(sarcasm)!
Whelp this aged like fine wine. "They'll find a way to blame us one way or another" "They won't blame him!"
Trae is a prophet.
Trae is awesome!
Damn he was prophetic.
He's as good as you are Bill I watch him and I watch you and you're both amazing and Trey is really up there maybe he deserves a show on network TV I don't know see if you make that happen for him please
Funny to see how right Trae was about all this.
I mean, we were all right about it, really. But he does have a way of expressing it clearly.
I'm a republican but I have massive respect for this guy
Walter Weathers
there's still hope for you!
Why?
Love this guy! Great he's on Mayer!
I have to agree with Trae. I honestly don't see how a bunch of down home country folk, thought that Trump, a NYC boy who lives in Upper East side Penthouses and would sooner attend a Broadway play, than a county fair...is "one of them".
The term redneck comes from unionists who literally fought wars against corporate interests that treated them like cattle. It was birthed in liberalism, but whatever.
Mine strikers wore red bandanas , and fought their rights through Pinkertons and ww1 era national guard ,
Love it
Trae rocks. Bill's vomeet. BTW the term red neck started with union guys that wore a red handkerchief around their neck.
bless you both!
Best show on that always tells it like it is. Your fan in NC!
I love this guy. He’s hilarious.
trae rocks!!!!
Well said Trae.
WHAT A GOOD COMBO !
Dems----This might be the guy you've been looking for.
Why?
I adore Trae.
This one still hits hard 7 years later
❤️ Trae Crowder
Trae is fine damn.....i love me some trae
2:41 is essentially how everyone should think of him.
Love me some Trae!
This is great content!
There's a lot of false information floating around, so maybe this isn't true, but I heard that the median income of the Trump voters was $72000 a year. That's not poor whites, or poor anybody. That's middle class or working class. Again, if it's true, half of college-educated women voted for him. I still don't think I understand what happened. But it's clear to me it was something dark and ugly. I think it will take time and perspective to understand and turn it around.
It was most likely white, working class people in the rust belt that won the election for Trump. He won because that historically democratic demographic abandoned the democratic party.
Tyler Adam - It isn't reasonable to focus on the Rust Belt and ignore all of the other states that Trump won. He wouldn't have won with just the Rust Belt.
It's like Hillary supporters trying to blame Bernie supporters. She didn't get votes from people who voted for Trump, people who didn't vote at all, etc. She got far less votes than Obama did. It was a lot more than Bernie supporters who didn't vote for her. And by the way, she's to blame because she's a terrible candidate. .
June Pearl
what was dark and evil about it? the dems were caught cheating and still couldn't win... this educated white woman won't tolerate lies and deceptive practices that Hillary pulled. let's face the facts, Trump won, accept it!
June Pearl The shear insanity of the left caused many otherwise dems to switch. Crimony, now we have the million munchkin march to train 5 yr old kids how to protest for more recess time? Theres a point at which people say, "i was with you till you went off the deep end".
they were tired of lies and bullshit, and therefore voted for even more lies and bullshit?
Good edit. Sometimes Bill doesn't know when to shut his big trap though. He botches interviews all the time.
Dave Chappelle said the same thing about trump fighting only for rich people.
I am a liberal who moved to Kentucky from the North. I feel like I'm now a bridge between the two. Especially to my snobby sisters who Trae describes to perfection.
