- Comedian Bill Maher, host of the HBO series "Real Time," doesn't discriminate between right and left when aiming his barbs at tribal politics. He talks with CBS News chief election & campaign correspondent Robert Costa about gladly courting controversy, whether by mocking politicians or inviting them to his show. He also discusses his new book, "What This Comedian Said Will Shock You."

He's the only major commentator willing to criticize both sides and tell it like it is, a very important voice for today's times.
Both sides? Yeah...unless it's Isntreal, he supports all their crimes because he loves his summer vacation spot
@@Ervinabrahamian… right. Because everyone I know is clamoring to buy a summer cottage in Israel.
It definitely doesn’t have anything to do with the fact they aren’t the terrorists in this conflict. 😏
@@beckischreyer Resistance is not terrorism.
@@beckischreyer What has Isntreal done for you lately? The world sees them for what they are now, get on the right side of history before you have to lie about which side you were on. We've seen this all before.
@@Ervinabrahamian …. October 7th was not resistance
We're number one in THINKING we're number one! So true.
No intelligent person should agree with someone 100% of the time, so even when I don't like or agree with what he says, I respect him because he is not about following a "party line" of the Left or the Right and calls out the BS of both when he sees fit. Its about thinking for yourself, a rare commodity these days.
I don't care what jokes his guys wrote for him, I just want Bill to stop touching his fly all the time, it's embarrassing.
Maher still remains partisan to Democrats as he confirmed saying the GOP alarms him. Although he’s experienced an epiphany in 2020 due to the woke mob actions, Bill will always favor the left vs being “alarmed” by them too.
I'm wondering how many followed the leader on that BS shot they were pushing a couple years ago.
Agreed, but Bill's blind spot in tribalism is he'll always vote a certain way even if that way is failing.
I agree with you, 100% 😉
Thank you for having Bill Maher. I absolutely love him. I'm gay and I agree with most everything he says. I'm a democrat obviously 😂 I like democracy
Laughter is the music of the soul.
If I can't find something to laugh at every day and to learn, I'm dead.
I don’t agree with everything he says, but I like that he calls out both sides.
Exactly! I couldn't have said it better myself.
It's easy to agree with someone on SOMETHING if they're playing both sides. I just like his view that conservatives and liberals are comparable in nefariousness because the right is criminal and 'alarming' while he thinks the left complains too much sometimes. Yep, because those infractions are equal in magnitude.
Dude just hates young people, I'm convinced.
Exactly, I don't agree all the time with Bill, but sometimes I do.
If you despise and have no respect for young people, you'll ADORE Bill Maher, world's most jaded, 2-sides-playingest political pundit.
The main problem with Maher is that he doesn't respect young people. I find it hilarious that his criticism of the left is that they complain too much, essentially, while the right is 'alarming' and straight up criminal. But yeah, people speaking out against a war they're not actively participating in is comparable to supporting politicians that are in bed with Russia-brilliant takes, Bill.
I used to dislike him but I really appreciate what he's saying these days. Calls out crazy Trumpism on the right and calling out the crazy wokeness on the left. VERY refreshing.
So in otherwise he's wedded to Bothsides- ism. 😮
@@yvonneplant9434 Or moderation
Couldn't agree more. He's intellectually honest which we need more of that in our political discourse.
@@yvonneplant9434 or divorced, and playing both "sides"?
You don't need Bill Maher to do that. Just be objective and loyal to your principles. Maher sometimes flaps whichever way the wind blows.
I like how what the writer of this story-I’m assuming a person who consider what they do a form of journalism-calls Maher’s call for free speech “courting controversy.”
Thats the best I've heard that articulated. "The far left irritates and frustrated me, but the far right alarms me."
Maher has a know it all attitude that rubs me the wrong way, but that line explains modern politics clearly.
far right, maga- maniacs and trump
are Dangerous.

Thank you🌸
Bill Maher as an evaluator of narcissism is like the pot as an evaluator of the kettle's blackness.
I agree😂😂😂
Noticed you didn't critique anything he said just ad hominins, typical
Doesn't mean he's automatically wrong.
@@darcyperkins7041 No. Doesn't mean he's automatically Chinese, either, but that's not the point.
@@darcyperkins7041 No, he's wrong. He's wrong most of the time.
Bill is a celebrity and entertainer. The type of people we DON'T need to be taking political advice from.
tell that to the people who voted for a reality TV star who became our 45th president.
@@Fryulikebacon You're not wrong. However, this is an issue across the board. Regardless of political affiliation, anyone taking political advice from a tv host or celebrity needs their head examined. It's like people wearing jerseys for sports teams they're not actually part of.
Celebrities and entertainers are U. S. voters the same as any neighbor.
@@gregoryjgarcia3862 They are voters, but they are not the same as "any neighbor". Celebrities & entertainers have influence, and sit at a higher level of priviledge than most people.
What we really need is Christopher Hitchens. And we're a good 10 George Carlin specials in the red.

Did you check out the A.I Carlin special, "I'm glad I'm dead"? It's fairly convincing and genuinely funny.
We don’t need Hitchens but genius like Carlin
@@doddsalfa Hard disagree. To each their own though.

Bill Maher and I are not aligned a lot of things, but I click when I see he is interviewed.
He makes people think.
Makes people think why is he still on television? He's irrelevant and old.

His age doesn't matter to me. But yeah, he's been irrelevant since 9/11.

@@maxmulsanne7054 "Irrelevant" says random guy on internet.
The disagreements in the comment section is a good indicator that he’s doing his job well.
Somewhat.
He has at least pushed back against the most radicalized far-leftism, even though he's a leftist.
Such as the growing systemic anti-white racism, and anti-straight male rhetoric.. Also, men with gender dysphoria pushing into women's sports and locker rooms. AKA, things which were obvious, common sense, just 15 minutes ago...
If that’s what you tell yourself to feel better. By all means…
Reminds me of the time Maher got really aggressive towards Jeff Ross on his podcast when Ross told him he didn't want to get high with a 68-year-old lifetime bachelor
I can list the reasons why I don't like Maher. I watch him because he can say what the right is thinking regardless if what they think is true in a few sentences. I don't want to watch 20 hours of fox news a week to figure that out on my own. He also has a bunch of often older guests that also have opinions i disagree with, but it gets me out of my bubble without it becoming something I need to spend several hours a week on.
cool
@@1337billybobok Billy Bob
@@ScatterbrainFilms-k8o
Yeah it was ok wasn’t it?!? Bill maher is a bit full of himself, way more than he needs to be! However the thing that keeps him in the “good” graces (for now) is that he has some/many interesting guests on his shows and gets the conversation into places you can’t always get with many comedy and/or opinionated and/or straight news programming!!!
@@1337billybob Brother, most of us can deduce what the right is thinking-for one thing, they are often the loudest voice in the room. Bill doesn't have a super power, he just meets the barest minimum threshold IQ for being able to participate in human conversation. Y'all need to be more critical of elites-at the end of the day, he's just a dude, not some kind of discourse savant.
The truth is not one sided.
Sometimes it very much IS one sided, only deluded toxic centrists think otherwise.
Nice
Between two sides, the middle is where the truth is.
Omg
Bill must've LOVED this piece about him
He's got the biggest ego in the industry and you guys just stroked it
at least he lets everyone on the show
@@splitfries69 Trust me
Unless this interview gets traction anywhere but on channels like these, Burr won't be invited back
Otherwise he'd invite him back to prove a point
❤ thank you
Wow, a lot of the folks commenting here certainly have their panties in a bunch over Bill. He must be doing something right!
As a moderate independent, I love how he sticks it to both sides.
No just pointing out the obvious Maher has severe TDS.
@@GenXgirl969 100%
I don't buy his "I'm for the normies." His "normies" is not the the majority. His normies live in a different world that doesn't have to deal with the real world. He loves to sit and drink his $100 a shot drinks and smoke his $25 a piece cigars.
At 21 years old I would get so mad at my roommates for watching Bill Maher.
Now at 41 hes the only celebrity I listen too.
Bill is doing a lot of rehabilitation on his image, but his show is terrible now. He's become Fox News-lite on Fridays. He supports the corporate mindset, that's why he's not getting invited to parties. His COVID arguments are the same. Max should've done us a solid and cancelled him for somebody younger and more thoughtful.
Good interview. Bill is one of my heroes. His truthful, real coverage of our interesting world events provides thoughtful, insightful and humorous entertainment to this blue voter living in a red area in the middle of the U.S. Thank you Mr. Maher!
Same here I always watch his show on Friday nights.
Maybe you should move to an area that's more in agreement with your principles, like San Franscisco.
I have had a love/hate relationship with Bill. He annoys the crud out of me, but I still listen. That’s something, at least.
Nah he crossed the line on Gaza for me.He talks from both sides of his mouth.Example here "don't be tribal" and his defense of the Izraeli gov.
Mind Begs the Question:
- Dehumanizing a group of people Rats/Subhuman is Fascist
- Dehumanizing a group of people Human Animals/Subhuman is Not Fascist?
He speaks for the middle? Ehhhh mmmmmmkay. This is a guy that endorses Gavin Newsom for President.
Bill Maher's ego always gets in his way.
No more of an ego than the average celebrity. Tiny ego compared to Trump.
@@RandomDudeOne TDS
@@nickbarcheck1019 But I'm right aren't I.
ur wrong
@@RandomDudeOne Not the point.
Bill could have told Obama not to be tribal a long time ago.
Bill Maher is the best representation of calling out both sides on all of their fringe bullsh*t. We Love Bill Maher.
Bill Mahr the gutless wonder...
I've never been a big fan of Maher, but I agree he speaks for the "vast middle." The reason I know is because I agree with him about half the time. He claims to be liberal, but he's more moderate than he would admit. We need more voices like his, and we need far more people who are balanced enough to see both sides of issues as he does. The polarization of the country is horrible and has led to Trump and Biden....we can do better.
You think he comes up with the opinions on real time? Writers do everything for him, check him on his podcast.
Most liberals are moderate. Almost all MAGA are completely tribal.
he's literally not "middle" he's egotistical and wrong almost all the time
He's pro-gay marriage, for gun control, for universal healthcare, pro-choice on abortion rights, believes that climate change should be treated as an existential threat, believes the military budget should be cut in half...this would all have been considered very progressive not so long ago. If that is now moderate, then what he says about the left changing while he's stayed the same is correct.
@@codzboy74that's your opinion and you're entitled to it, even if it's empirically incorrect.
I’m tired of Maher acting like he’s done kind of innocent bystander in all this nonsense.
i think (as most comments here suggest) we dont all agree with bill maher on everything but we still listen and that’s the point. i disagree with him on many things but still is the only show i tune into because people are on there that i dont agree with and it’s a forum for actual discourse most of the time
I only watch when it's an interesting guest.
'but we still listen and that’s the point'
No one needs to listen to anyone who pretended 'Russian collusion' or 'Hunter's laptop isn't real' were actually real. Don't kid yourself, far less people watch him than you're thinking.
Meanwhile correcting the silly people who did fall for that is halfway fun, so there are a lot more in the comments than actually watch this ridiculous person.
@@ModelLightsoh no another butthurt hyper partisan. where have i seen this before.
@@mcnabb6westbrookit's not partisanship to call out the constant lying, especially when it's so obvious.
Drinking game: every time he does that pompous lip smack, take a shot
It's a tic, I think, why don't they tell him?
I've watched him for years. It's a new tick I noticed the lip smack for the first time this season and he's doing it more all the time
Now I'll never unsee this.
@@fauxbro it's not as much of a tick as it is as a way of being smug
"The truth isn't one sided"....so true.
The comments about how he goes after each side are, undoubtedly, just what the little egomaniac has been angling for. He has become nearly unbearable via his know it all attitude. No expert or authority knows more than Maher. Don't dare to appear to know more than him. His ire is clearly visible. No make believe Mr. Nice Guy. His 2 guests last week engaged in a bash the left session that Maher sat out for the most part. It was ridiculous. The only redeeming facet to me about Maher is he has maintained his opposition to Trump. I wonder if his ego would allow his studio audience to not be allowed to interfere constantly with applause. It throws the rhythm of the show off frequently and the guests have to attempt to speak over the clapping. It is just unnecessary. Maybe he will get it as guests don't want to appear. But, Maher is so full of himself and his wealth. I used to love his show, but it is no longer must see tv for me.
In a country of 300 million, we hear from Bill Maher more often than we heard from Christ, Einstein, and Elvis.
True. He should invite them on the show. But the silence would be deafening. 😮
What channel is Christ on? I haven’t seen his show
HBO offered them shows too but never heard back from them
...is something a bot would say. Although I don't know why. It doesn't make sense. There's no shortage of information on Elvis or Einstein, and even if you never read the bible, Christ is planning a comeback, so...
*330 million
He's fair, balanced and full of common sense, but most importantly, he's open to discussion.
He's increasingly out-of-touch in his L.A. bubble (and his pothead interviews on his youtube show are a mistake for his credibility) but Bill has good guests and the best political opinion show currently going, so kudos to him for that (and the best running joke on Trump's hand-job campaign rally dance :)

And that makes him different from the rest of Hollywood…how?
He would do well to follow his own advice. Don´t be TRIBAL.
He couldn´t be more Tribal with regards to Israel/Gaza. He has not once even mentioned the massive death toll in Gaza while week after week he repeats his unconditional support for Israel which he calls a non-apartheid state and the killing of civilians and children is not genocide in his eyes.
I´ve been watching him ever since Politically Incorrect, never miss a show, but lately his TRIBALISM saddens me and even shocks me.
It's astounding, does he only watch FoxNews?
Bill is here for all of us and we're better for tuning in and taking a dose of sanity in this mad world.
I admire Bill Maher for his intellect, sarcasm and quick tongue.
I believe that he has made real progress in putting himself in the shoes of both of America's political parties.
He says dont be tribal, but clearly his audience of clapping seals expect him to be.
You don't watch his show do you? His audience claps for the conservatives too. Often you can hear that it is certain people who clap for anything conservative. Let me speak plainly. You are obviously lying. Either apologize or delete your comment.

- Labeling a group of people Rats is Fascist
- Labeling a group of people Human Animals is Not Fascist?

@@1337billybobok lib
I religiously watched Bill Maher for nearly as long as he was on the air……decades!
Then he interviewed Elon Musk, touting this phony "genius's" BS and never once addressing his unforgivable and atrociously cruel behavior! I never watched his show again!
That interview was embarrassing, and Elon is a terrible human and certainly no genius.
6:43 Line from a Carly Simon song "These are the good old days"..
Finally, someone who's not afraid to say it. Everything is so tribal now, every day feels like Thanksgiving.
This dude still talks about the Russia collusion story like it was real which proves he doesn't think critically enough to have an opinion people should hear

I've watched him since "Politically Incorrect" and he's always presented like he knows and has NO idea most of the time. Bold Ignorance.
He plays well to the Dunning Kruger crowd, and his audience is filled with people who force laughter at the most unfunny jokes, to drive others to laugh.
Totally agree - he's unwatchable at this point.
You've watched him for over 20 years but you dislike him? Are you a masochist?
What main issue do you disagree with him on.....as a Democrat...
Deniro refuses to play a role of Donald Trump in a film, saying Trumps such a bad guy. Yet he played James Burke in Goodfellas and even Bernie Madoff.
Bill rockin the Leonard Nimoy star trek boots
Holy hypocrisy!
Bill is a legend. Hilarious and connects with both sides and in between
Humans are innately tribal. The challenge is to rise above our primitive instincts to form a better society.
We're we pretty much doing that before recently when people became "woke" because of the internet?
I do enjoy when he has his one on one with people of different views both sides need to hear both sides
He does an excellent job. He has his biases, but who doesn't. He keeps it real, and funnily enough that's the name of the show.
Does Bill Barr look exactly like Fred Flintstone or is it jus me? 😃
Bill Maher has been expert on getting to Heart of matters with his shows humor and sharp wit. Well Done Chap ! 🏆
Maher is not an extremist. He’s an open minded person and calling everything as it is. Right now, extremism is plaguing both sides of every issue. Refreshing to see a champion in the media rising above it all. Bravo!
I find him to be very closed-minded. His views are somewhere between the WSJ and WP, which is a very narrow set of opinions in the grand scheme of things!
Propping up the right while pretending to be on the left seems awfully extremist. He supports the Palestinian genocide campaign. That's awfully extreme. His grift is to gaslight progressives as extremists because of where they sit on a political spectrum for the purpose of making $. What's extreme about higher wages, free health care & free education? It's fine to disagree, but presenting progressives as 'crazy' or 'extreme' is extremely dangerous in this current political zeitgeist.
No
He is the most unreal man out there. He says, if you are resisting yourself then go behind enemy line. But when Palestinians dies it, hmm they are terrorists. This guy is the worst.
His intelligence is overrated
So is his comedy
This guy gets it.
I’ll take Jon Stewart over Maher any day of the week. Stewart recently called out so-called comedians complaining about “woke” supposedly ruining comedy, and the dig was directly for Bill.
No matter who the “dig” was directed at, it was convincing and humorous only for those in the bubble to the Left. I cannot believe Stewart participated in that recent documentary on George Carlin. Shortly before his death, Carlin commented on the rise of woke illiberalism: “I saw it coming from the Right, but I never saw it coming from the Left.” Carlin would be ashamed of the “speech is violence” ethos on college campuses and selective irony-impairment of comedians-turned-ideological-panderers like Jon Stewart, John Oliver, etc.
@@StevenBaker-f8n it’s funny how you say “selective irony comedians like Jon Stewart and John Oliver” when Maher does it more. I’m a former Republican, independent voter/Never Trumper, so I don’t buy his bullshite about not hating the other side. My former party is very dangerous, and just like Iran/Hamas is using the nutcase far left as useful idiots, the Maga folks are using fools like Maher the same way.
He has gone overboard, he's just behind the times.
You should be referred to this advise at 6:57 because Jon was targeting Seinfeld.
this video has an equal number of likes and dislikes. with that ratio you're actually doing it right when it comes to these topics.
I'm pretty conservative but believe Bill is one of the only voices of sanity left in the political media. His quote that I repeat regularly continues to be true today - "If you do goofy s***, regardless of what side you're on, I'm going to make fun of you". Keep being you Bill and know there are so many that respect what you do.
Unless the goofy s*** is about himself now that he's 60 something and doing goofy sh** on a daily basis like the rest of us seniors
I'm not tribal . My positions on issues guide me . If republicans suddenly believed in climate change, a woman's right to choose, sensible gun laws etc...I'd be open to voting for them. But they will never change on these issues because that is what their party is based on now. And the irony is many of them don't even care about abortion , many of them believe in climate change and want sensible gun laws but they won't say it cause they are afraid of someone primarying them
Bill Maher represents the sensibility of a political party I would rather we have.
Bill Maher just labeled someone a narcissist
Maher is totally tribal when it comes to Israel
As an atheist, how can Bill reconcile Jews’ claims on Palestine based on god’s promises in the Bible? One would think this is excellent material for a comedian. He is a fake Atheist. Only when it suits his bit.
As a person of the left his opinions are anything but
He has a team of writers. So!
Whether agree or disagree, Maher's unique in his thoughts/opinions. And, yes, he's hilarious on a regular basis.
Not really unique at all. He's just the old man on the porch yelling at everyone to get of his lawn.
Not really. I take it you only listen to people you agree with.
Hilarious? Is this based on the forced laughter from the studio audience? Maher has gotten increasingly bitter and when the material doesn't land he predictably blames it on the audience.
Bill Maher is as tribal as they come.
Good times, bad times I cant believe I've been watching Bill Maher for the past 15 years now
He is one of the most tribal political commentators I know
Aside from his TDS, he’s great.

I wish there were a right wing version hosted by a conservative who calls out his own party as much as the other party but as far as I know, nothing like it exists.
Love Bill Maher. He calls balls and strikes on everyone
I hate politics, but Bill Maher at least makes it funny for people like me.
Im glad Bills still around. He is like The Far Side or Simpsons of all the other talk shows and just is. A unique entity.
He’s not middle, he’s just another grifter
What does that make you?
I don't see that.
This is impressively wrong. Maher is an anti-grifter. He doesn't tell his audience what they want to hear. He very often does the opposite. He'll even mock them to their faces when he doesn't like their reaction.
I don't think you know what a grifter is lol
bill maher is everything wrong with comedy
Bill’s shows are FUNNY because he is giving his HONEST and clever opinion. I disagree with him on many topics, but I always enjoy his shows because he’s not a thoughtless talking head with a motive coming from a corporation.

Good report. I'd politely and respectfully disagree about your final comment. I can't help but to be a little cynical about politics these days, (really, who isn't?) but I've been trying to learn about it and have learned a lot (adds to my cynicism). Not sure I understand what you mean, Bill - your shows are often so refreshing. How could you possibly not be? 🙂
"They're not the monsters we think they are." Many conservatives come on his show and put on an act in order to play to his audience, then the second they leave they go back to their fiery, divisive rhetoric. The worst actor of them all is Mike Huckabee.
"Fiery, divisive rhetoric can be good...whether you are talking to Stalinist Russians or Marxist American democrats. You should tell them they are evil.
He calls himself a Normie? LOL! Yeah, right!
Bill Maher isn't my favorite person by any means but he doesn't spend as much time bashing Trump or conservatives like he did in the past.
He's been roasting the left for a while now, but that doesn't fit the orange man bad narrative the msm wants people to believe. He roasted the left on December 13 and he's been doing it more and more especially since the protests.
It's called a grift. He makes more $ gaslighting progressives. He doesn't care about the damage he inflicts on society. He's a right winger masquerading as a Democrat essentially.
Bill is the most tribal human I've ever seen 😂
Bill Maher should take his shtick to Tel Aviv. Israelis are his kind of people.
Bill Maher is awesome.
Laughter is involuntary yet he has “laugh” and “applause” sign on his show
Every show has had that since the beginning of television. And I hate Bill Maher, you're just wrong.
They have “applause” signs, they don’t have “laugh” signs.
He also has paid staff to laugh, clap and yell "woo hoo" in the audience.
Yeah, CBS television industries have it in their contracts as owners of the studio where this show is broadcast from .... CBS controls a lot of what is setup in their owned space. I feel sure Bill would rather not have them there. But nice try at taking a petty jab at Bill for something you do not understand.

He’s a brilliant mind. It’s hard not to like him. I didn’t always think that way.
I don't have any problem with who he brings on no matter how revolting. That said, if he does have these right wing liars on, he has to at the very least push back. I watched how Steve Bannon, and Russel Brand spewed all kinds of propaganda without proper pushback from Bill. Sometimes He tries too hard to prove his point of allowing anyone on and he forgets his job is to make them answer for their lies. That said, I think he's very talented. I like him, and I love the show. I think the show is a great idea, and it's not soured for all these years. Good for Bill.
He clearly has no morals. He only cares about the money and the fame.
"Liars" are not only found in the right wing. The "progressives" claim to be "saving democracy" by shutting down speech they don't like, legislating from the bench, and regulating through government agencies rather than Congress.
Of course I'm sure you have no problem with left wing liars that come on his show and how he doesn't push back on them either. At least he's allowing both sides to be heard.
