I get your point since this is on CNN as Bill isn't exactly MSM. If Bill hadn't been criticizing the left the past few years.. CNN wouldn't have created this show. I dropped CNN yt, when they got a new -R CEO and started promoting Donvict over democracy. 100 % of my news is from YT. 99% of my political news information comes from independent journalists like BTC, Glen Kirschner, MNT etc on YT. This OT was definitely better than the RT episode.... miles better.
@@notme2dayThis isn't CNN, it's HBO. CNN didn't create this show, it's been on HBO for like 20 years. Prior to that, Bill had a show on ABC called "politically Incorrect" all the way back in 1993.

It's worthless because it's a short-form, talking point discussion, that almost any statement gets stepped on by the next guy bringing up his talking point! No one can really sell their side of an argument. There isn't enough time. BTW: McMaster and the dude with the pointy nose are full of it! They try to equate between a total moronic a-hole and career civil servants who actually want to help most people and have always tried to. To me, the difference is like night and day!
The problem with all three of the guests is that they have not, in decades, been in high school classrooms where history and government teachers working their asses off to teach the fullness of our country's story and are having to compete with smart phones and helicopter parents and politically cowardly school boards.
I remember some of my teachers, who were great, and others who were a joke. Old women, who couldn’t discipline the most rowdy students, and ending up teaching nothing. More interested in wasting 15 minutes on taking gum, and having kids spit it in a coffee can, than try to say shut up or you’re going to the office. Get out. There were about 5 teachers like that, who had no business there, mentally. We had about the same number, of teachers who were actually great.
I graduated high school at the turn of the millenium. No smartphones existed let alone in the hands of teens in the classroom. We had pagers & early T9 input cell phones. Most people my age do not have the faintest idea about history. This isn't a problem with smartphones. It goes much longer and much deeper.
Please! I went to high school before smartphones took over. We learn learn about US history, and we call European history the history of Britain and occasionally Germany, France and Spain. Unless you went to private school (and i am not even sure about that) you were kept a sheep in a tunnel. US school system is horrendous if you care about creating people capable of making change, and the country and maybe world a better place. Top 20 universities in the states is a different story. But one will notice that when it comes to science, and graduate degrees, more than half in those schools are given to foreigners. These are facts
I graduated HS, when pagers didn't exist and PC were just arriving.... When parents respected teachers and the "need improvement" grade was taken seriously and parents actually cared to helped their kids improve.
I honestly don't know why they have to split it up. For years, it was all on HBO. Now we have to check two places to watch all of it. They should choose one or the other and stick with that. Make it longer, great, I just want it in one place like every other show in existence.
Interesting that Lowry is stating that Harris, if she had a majority in congress could be the next FDR or LBJ as if that would be worse than the former guy back in the WH.
The right has been trying desperately to rewrite the legacy of FDR. There's a great t-shirt/poster....at the FDR presidential library in Hyde Park, NY listing all the accomplishments of FDR. At the top it says something like, "It's FDR's world and we live in it." It's great. Eisenhower was probably the last GOP president of consequence with the interstate system. Prior to him it would be Teddy Roosevelt who grew completely disenfranchised with the GOP and formed the Bull Moose party.
This is a great forum. I must say, with all due respect, it is easier to follow the conversation when one person speaks at a time, and others actively listen.
I love still being able to watch Bill Maher, started with this guy when he was national late television in the 1980's and 1990's, you're still revelant to my life Mr. Maher and thank you!
In the early 90s I used to tape Politically Incorrect on VHS at night so I could watch it on the treadmill in the morning. Now I watch Real Time on my phone while I walk/run wherever I want. The technology has changed, but Bill hasn't 😁

Republicans and Liberations are jealous that the Democrat party has a plan, a very successful plan. And they don't and never have, anytime they have attempted to implement anything nationally it's been a failure. Instead of coming up with something that works they just torpedo what the Dems have.

good show...I appreciated the discussion...is it me or has Bill gotten better about letting a heated conversation between two guests, breathe...and let them have at it? I like that.
I think his side gig random has helped him mellow a bit as he can blather endlessly there. Gotta respect that he keeps his eye on the clock and sticks to his format unwaveringly.
Going from dominating certain guests to letting people talk over each other? And while spouting some orthodoxy so that they don't quite even finish their own sentences b/c they know which side they're talking about? Sometimes I found myself wondering, "wait, whom are you accusing of 'being like that' or whatever.?"
Lowry is one of the reasons that I think The National Review walks a fine line between reporting and veiled propaganda. Also, Reagan was at diminished capacity during his second term.
lowery is an asshole. His modus operandi is the simple tactic that media and social media use to generate more clicks and more ad revenue. A glaring example of how our society is degrading due to the worship of the almighty dollar
@@ASalvaro Ronald Reagan was a babbling idiot who crapped his pants during his second term. Nancy could not stand Ronny to be like that and smothered him with a pillow.
McMaster sounds a lot like James Comey which makes him problematic when he waffles between two supposed extremes by inferring their similarities only to somehow denigrate one of the positions while exonerating the other. Him trying to boast about things trump got right was completely undone by his ultimate point that we all knew in the first place that his own ineptitude unraveled every possible sensible initiative. That's not erratic & inconsistent-it's chaotic & disqualifying-but McMaster refuses to call it a spade. And for all of the talk about how bad Biden handled the Afghanistan withdrawal Maher saved the most important irony of the fake outrage until the very end- 61 people died in Afghanistan under trump while 13 died under Biden. One is too many-but what they DIDN'T mention was Biden's administration didn't have the benefit of a peaceful transfer of power & a warm handoff from trump to get thorough briefings, and LASTLY-Biden's operation rescued 122,000 citizens. Trump never came anywhere close to that yet McMaster is hemming & hawing so that he doesn't offend the extremists in MAGA. Avlon was right-we don't need to normalize anything about us having a contested election between an honorable and accomplished prosecutor like Harris and an incompetent buffoonish & traitorous convicted rapist like trump.
Yeah, so long as she sleeps at the feet of the Obamas. Funny how low on the popularity charts she was a few weeks ago and after Chicago she is like the Messiah returning. Crazy-ass country we live in now - swear to God.
First thing I thought of. Woodrow Wilson had a stroke and his wife was the defacto President. Nobody outside DC knew FDR was handicapped or that JFK had a serious disease and used drugs!!. There have been several presidents with... issues
He 's right by asking that question and everyone proved his point. Let 's say Jan 6 didnt happened and just by looking Trump policies, would they vote for Trump? They all said NO. So the point here is they all hate trump and dont give a shit about policies even those policies help the american people

What dementia? The thing that people didn't like about Biden was here was a pretty good politician who because of serious cognitive decline, couldn't play at the top of his game anymore. Trump sounds like the same idiot as he was in 2016. Not seeing any major cognitive decline. The democratic party should listen to voter, age is not an issue with Trump. Find something else to define him in the election.
A friend gave me this today A vote is not a valentines You aren’t confessing your love for a candidate It is a chess move for the world You want to live in Not a political party, but a vote to preserve democracy and what it stands for. Equality and freedom
That's precisely why Trump needs to win, because if Harris gets in, she will only continue with suppressing of free speech and silencing of opposing candidates and dissenting opinion. She is a puppet right out of Russian playbook. There's hardly a democracy now with the vitriol from the radical woke / pro-hamas left. In 58 days, Don will be restoring not just freedom of speech, common sense and equality (NOT EQUITY), he'll also be restoring DEMOCRACY. Oh it's going to be so sweet to be free again, to wear a red hat, and say what you want without being banned on FB, de-platformed on social media as Biden & Harris have vociferously been doing for nearly 4 years. Shame on them. There's absolutely nothing "democratic" about the fascist/Marxist Democrats. What a disgraceful bunch of hypocrites. Just ask Bernie Sanders, Tulsi Gabbard, RFKjr and the Walz family in Minnesota who have denounced their imposter relative Tim.
@@BJSal916 I believe you are confused! Trump and democracy do not go together! "RUSSIA IF YOU'RE LISTENING!" Yeah...his whole presidency was a FARCE!!!
@xak999 Well he doesn't have the intelligence agencies running psy opps through social media and news media on us like democrats do. Let's list the ways establishment aided the democrats: - Russia Gate hoax - Hunter Biden Laptop suppression - Censoring Americans on covid - Censoring Americans on the election even though democrats have questioned every republican victory in modern history - DAs literally running campaigns on persecuting Trump for any reason - Politicized justice department persecuting Trump for having documents even though Biden was guilty of the same crime - Intelligence officers leaking on Trump for withholding ukraine aid even though Biden is on video doing the same thing The establishment doesn't want you to have a choice. That's why even though we all saw Biden had dementia, the democrats didn't have a nomination process and instead just hand picked kamala.
I thought McMaster had regained his sanity after leaving the Trump administration but listening to him defending Trump and his horrendous policies, I guess not. Sad
McMaster left on good terms, and much like William Barr, is critical of Trump's management style, but not Trump's policies. Both are voting for Trump. You can lean more on the show McMasters is regularly on "Goodfellows" with his Stanford University collogues.
If we are talking about curriculum and left vs. right, we should bring up the fact that basic science like evolution and climate change is sometimes not taught in far right red states
What's to teach about climate change?>The earth's temperature has fluctuated all through time. There was an Ice age. Trying to push a narrative that any creature on earth can control the weather is a lost cause. The "science" is a mere observation of weather patterns. Our lifetime isn't long enough to understand it. Might as well study air or water. How much is there to learn? How can such a simple thing be called "basic science"? The reason "climate change" has become a pushed narrative is because wealthy people seek to profit from it. they know you will buy anything if it makes you feel like a hero. Micheal Moore made a documentary exposing the green energy money making scheme and that's why they banned his film within days of its release.
You know what is now being pushed in blue states now? That some boys with junk are now female and should be able to undress in girl's locker rooms. Gender (prior to this new trans fad movement) is more basic science than how life came about years ago where neither you and me were here to witness it.
One of the averagest and frustrating as usual. Very shortsighted. Singular perspectives and a lack of understanding about anything outside their demographic.

@@ZlevelS Many remember when the republicans stood up for the constitution. Trumps 2 impeachments, one based upon the jan 6 attack on the house, initially brought out the true feelings of republicans about trump. Only to have them turn around and defend the indefensible.
I find it interesting that Bill is quick to call out parents on guns and phones but not on education. My parents were on me when I was in school. Making sure I did my homework, reading, discussing what I was learning at the dinner table, etc. I’m not saying education is perfect but the more parents are involved with their kid’s education, the more kids value the importance of education and more learned we become.
I feel there is a fine line that parents should walk in regards to their children's education. As parents we should be aware of our child's progress, and available to our children for help, and support. We should be aware of what is going on between them and their teacher, and also their class interactions. What we shouldn't be, is overly involved. There is such a thing as too much of a good thing. We actually take away from our children qhen we are constantly " helping". Let them learn to communicate with their teachers. Make them responsible for their own grades and homework. Parents need to let teachers do their jobs, and stay in their lane and do their own job. Teachers also need their authority back, and parents need to back them up. Your child isn't an angel.
Remember it's also that our economy (in terms of the average person) is so bad at this point, no matter what GDP says, that most parents have to work so much more they aren't able to spend as much time with their kids.
19:15 Imagine if Ronald Reagan was alive today and you told him that today's Republican party was saying that we should abandon NATO and help a Russian dictator bring back the Soviet Union.
Your brainwashed !! Trump made NATO countries start paying their fair share ! The U.S. payed the most $$$ to NATO to Police the rest of the WORLD ! It wasn't fair to America and our Hard Earned Tax Dollars being Spent providing Security to the WORLD when other Countries committed to doing the same by contributing a portion of their GDP to the Very Existence to NATO ! Trump stated you don't pay we won't either THEN WHAT ?? Russia invades you ? Negotiation and standing firm for the TAXPAYER AND HIS COUNTRY BEING RIPPED OFF ! HE SUCCEEDED ! He got NATO countries to start paying what they PROMISED ! 100's of BILLIONS OF DOLLARS the United States DIDN'T have to spend ! I call that a win for my COUNTRY and my POCKET . 👍
More people are suffering from the disastrous foreign policy blunders of Biden, we have women practically enslaved in Afghanistan, terrorism on the rise in the ME and a Ukrainian war.

@@CribNotes Freeloading Euro-weenie here: Honestly, we don't. We may need you to buy our cars and superior machines, but otherwise? I guess we'd cope. Yes, we have relied on US military often (but mostly in conflicts nobody needed anyway), but now I really think we would be strong enough to go on our own. It's simply rational and reasonable for Western democracies to stand together and fight dictatorships.
I agree, but so many of the Trump supporting guests just seem to blatantly lie and try to talk over others with propaganda. And Bill just laughs and nods along. If he truly believes trump tried to overthrow the election, and refuses to this day to accept defeat, how can he actually take any of these people seriously, and provide them a platform to spread bullshit. Democracy doesn't stand for people like Trump, once you start questioning the results with false claims of rigged elections, sometimes before voting even takes place, you are clearly full of shit, and you are an enemy to democracy.
And he kept rambling like Trump trying to defend him. Again, I thought Avlon could have done better to push HR to be specific in Trump being a better manager of American foreign policy. Again, the GOP penchant for violence, oppression and war direct their affiliation and views. What is feckless by being measured and not impulsive? Why do we have to be always forceful, violent because we have the powerful military? We might not always have a clear winner, Iraq, Vietnam, Afghan are examples, yet MAGA is always yelling attack, attack.
Yeah I can't take anyone seriously when they say they're voting for Rump after the Insurrection. Then McMaster not saying sh*t until his book comes out...okay 🙄
Insurrection 🤣 I guess the “insurrectionists” forgot their guns. It was, at best, a political riot. But you’ll say nothing about the Summer of Love, where America cities were allowed to be looted and burned. How pathetic.
Insurrecting without arms nor needing to overwhelm the non guarded capitol while a small f'd up group got rowdy and destructive. No organized overthrow it was a chaotic. Hodgepodge of stupidity
The courts treating Trump with preferential treatment is political. Subjecting Trump to the same process as everyone else is actually non-political, lady justice is blindfolded.
Sad how the defense for postponing the sentencing was to avoid being seen is election interference but we all know Trump will keep using any & all of his legal troubles he endured as election interference anyway, especially when he loses, then as McMaster pointed out, the time between the election & inauguration will become a circus.
It should have been day one! Trying to “look fair” and hoping he would go away was a big mistake. They still scream it’s a political witch hunt regardless. The plain fact is trump is a witch! And he should have been held accountable for all the crimes he committed. But he never will. So beating Maga at the polls big, is our only hope of regaining some strength and integrity back in our country. I will NEVER understand ppl who support that grifter!
The sheer irony that HR McMaster came to national prominence through his book "Dereliction of Duty", and yet failed to take any of the purported lessons of that book to heart. Sad.
@@jacklawer6389 As a Major, McMaster wrote a book titled "Dereliction of Duty; Johnson, McNamara, the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and the Lies That Led to Vietnam". In this book McNamara accuses US senior leaders of deliberately and malevolently committing acts that brought about the US involvement in Vietnam. Yet while he criticizes DonOld Trump for instability and ignorance, he can't wait to see DonOld back in the White House.
@@roughhabit9085 I guess that depends on individual interests. I am interested in security and academic affairs, and "Dereliction of Duty" received extensive coverage when it was published, to include across the US media. He also received a great deal of coverage for the perceived success of his unit in Tal Afar and South Baghdad in 2005-2006 which resulted in Petraeus bringing him onto his staff as a "counterinsurgency advisor" 2007-2008. I say perceived, because I am of the impression that one of McMaster's greatest strengths is his ability to curry favorable press coverage for himself.
Hitler and Mussolini also had some great policy positions that stoked the economy and got the trains to run on time. How’d that turn out for their constituents?
Now that even Dick Cheney has declared his support for Kamala Harris, what's next? To counter this, Donald Trump must declare that he wants to make Hannibal Lecter his Attorney General.

Great overtime. McMaster is a Trumpster claiming to be a neutral ‘historian’. He absolutely refuses to criticize Trump. The best he can do is say that he is erratic.
McMaster reportedly thinks Trump is an “idiot” with the brain of a “kindergartner”. He says these things behind closed doors. Not when it counts. Seems to be the definition of feckless. lacking initiative or strength of character; irresponsible. "a feckless mama's boy"
Agreed. The only times trump was occasionally "right" about the things McMaster was talking about was when he'd had to change his political rhetoric to try to make himself look good because people had objectively pointed out how wrong he'd originally been. That wasn't "erratic", it was being caught trying to change democracy into banana-republic, authoritarianism.
I caught that too on several occasions. Big difference between Trump being a threat to our democracy as even Dick Cheney acknowledged, to him just being “erratic”.
Kamala lies all the time. She said she was not going to take guns! She has already said she supports mandatory but back. The key word mandatory. The CBS political hacks did not call her out on that or anything else she lied about!
Bill, you make one huge, glaring omission about Trump and J6. The plan as we know it could not have worked without republican House and Senate members helping. It's not just trump who's a traitor and shouldn't hold office. Get with the program. It's not that hard. Hold them ALL accountable.
And as for the withdrawal from Afghanistan, it was trump that signed the agreement, it was trump that allowed 5000 Taliban out of prison, AND it was trump that kept Biden's transition from beginning until far later than is custom. Trump hobbled Biden's ability to prepare. And he put the murderers on the streets. Trump is more guilty than Biden for those people's lives. That's reality.
Don is the ONLY elected official that REFUSED to concede to an opponent along with F-you he said to all Americans when he wouldn't assist/participate in the "peaceful transition of power" that is at the core of our traditions.

@th3frogman In a practical sense it IS only for hunting and sports. Anyone gullible enough to think a bunch of yahoos with guns are going to stop a "tyrannical" US govt is too delusional to be allowed to own a gun.
@MalachiWhite-tw7hl no, not his views, his explanation for his point of view. Even Bill said "THATS what you're basing your answer on?" It was a ridiculous excuse.
How can HR McMaster state that the Iranian issue is worse than Trump supporting Putin, Xi, and North Korea. Trump stated that Putin should take whatever country he wants
Trump actually forced North Korea to stop shooting missiles over Japan by sending our fleet to their doorstep. But yeah, keep trying to spread misinformation.
False claiming Trump supporters authoritarian leaders bcuz he had the courage to be visit for world peace. You're just upset Kamala would never even leave our country if she was elected
All his criticism is leveled at liberals and democrats. When Donnie D-cups does it, he's "erratic and inconsistent" which is what you say about your boss when you don't want to get fired.
McMaster looks a guy who was fired by Trump(as he was)and went to a UFC event to cool off. If anyone is respecting this McMaster fella they need to remember Trump hired him to be the good boy he was until no longer useful
This conversation affirms what I have been saying all along: This election is about many things, and those things can be debated ad nauseum. But, ultimately, it is about competency. Trump is incompetent, regardless of his purported "policies". Harris has demonstrated competency. When I consider a candidate the first consideration is "Are they competent?". Character is second. Trump has a weak character, obviously. Policy promises only inform me on whether or not the candidate is aligned with my personal philosophies. But character and policy are both irrelevant if the candidate is incompetent.
McMaster's has authored at least two really good books. The other two only spouted lame, party lines and insults. Their hair was good though. Bill's extremely partisan before the election. Good room reader though.
If Republicans want their party back, I'm not talking about Trumpers, they aren't Republicans. Trump needs to be handed a loss so bad that they can finally move away from the guy.
True. One of the biggest problems of American politics is that Americans put too much emphasis on party loyalty, and not enough on how to get their parties to be competent.
If Americans want our country back, we need to actually address the problems that led to Trump. In France, they just defeated the far right in elections. One one hand, it's good, on the other hand, the far right has more seats in government than ever before. And yet you see headlines mostly about France defeated the far right. They'll get more power in the next election if the reasons for people voting for the far right aren't addressed. Same here, if the reasons that people choose to support Trump aren't addressed, with or without Trump, the republican party will continue to shift to the far right. People are unhappy, and when people are unhappy, the worst thing you can tell them, be grateful, could be worse, because they will look for populists who promise them things will be better and proceed to burn everything down. Too much focus on Trump being the problem.
Donald Trump is more of a liberal than a kamala Harris she been funding Wars big government big business and the banks the Democrats have become the Republicans

Even if you say well, those were the times in reference to slavery, you can't then also support people who say slaves had it good and they shouldn't complain or that Jim Crow era or separate and disturbingly unequal or the violent backlash against the civil rights movement weren't that significant or bothersome. A lot of the discriminatory and biased application of the law, social programs, financing, housing employment access occurred well into the 1980s and 90s. To act like well that's all in the past would be so is Benghazi, so was the withdrawal from Afghanistan, so was 9/11...so should those issues NO longer have any bearing on U.S. policy?
There discussion about slavery proves why diversity programs need to exist. Nobody was there to tell these guys that the American form of slavery was unlike any other in the world.
White people in Europe and America were the only people at the time who even considered the possibility that slavery should stop. Middle easterner's and African's continued with slavery for another 100 years after we abolished it, and many (Non White) society's still have slavery to this day. Our education system pretends that White People invented slavery in 1600, when they should be teaching that White People were the only race who fought to end slavery.
Do you mean when the candidates were fake? So what Donald Trump is mean He tells you how it is And the truth is not pleasant the world is not pleasant World War 3 is not pleasant
Its the blame game which is always a weak leadership position. Avalon made comments about leadership and both Lowery and McMaster didn't touch that as the problem with Trump. Anyone can start killing people around the world to look tough but where does that lead? Bush blows up Iraq so why didn't the world cower at the strength of the US, it should have been a lasting thing. But then the Middle East strikes back with 9/11 and we were lit up and they found out that the god bleeds. The rest of the world does not fear the US as much as China has brought wealth to these smaller countries, it wasn't the US as US multinationals always suck these countries dry and the people in these countries start to hate the US. I whipped off onto a tangent but ultimately, Trump was more of a problem/fear for our allies than he was a feared character by our enemies. Putin had already secured Crimea, the Donbas and just needed a bit more time to do a slow easy coup to take UKR. Trump loses so now Putin has to weigh his options, will Trump run in 2024, will he be able to win, can I wait any longer and it would seem he couldn't wait. The GOP has done all it could for Putin by not fully backing UKR and for McMaster to not rip the GOP for that is disingenuous on his part since he says he isn't a partisan.
Studios probably fear hacking after North Korea hacked Sony because of The Interview. While he had his own concerns and risks, Chaplin's financing wasn't in danger of having their private information leaked by the Axis powers.

We've seen 3 1/2 years of the transformation she wants. I wonder what their magic number is before they slow the flow of unlawful migrants. What do you think? 20? 30? Maybe they want to double the size and push it upwards of 700+ million by adding 350+ million illegal influx. You could guarantee a permanent dissolution of the republican party and could most certainly rewrite or abolish the constitution. They could finally get rid of the pesky second amendment and then be able to stimy any speech they deem problematic. I'll be dead and gone by then thank god, but I'm afraid of the future for the children of this fine republic. They don't want to fix any of the problems we have. They just want power. They all just want power.
Where does HR get the idea that Harris won't "kick ass" if the U.S. needs to? And does he really expect us to believe that more than a couple of countries are scared of Trump military action?
Exactly.....we should all pray for a president that could emulate FDR. of course the billionaires and corporations wouldn't like it but it'd be great for over 300 million citizens.
No, what he said was she'd want to be the next FDR, trying to accomplish all sorts of unconstitutional damaging acts. Congress and SCOTUS kept FDR from doing all he wanted to, luckily. BTW many economists think FDR's actions prolonged the Great Depression by years. Many people lost their homes due to his bank holiday.
But kudos to Maher for having people like Lowry on because there are Americans who believe the points he made have merit. Therefore they should be discussed.
Trump DID interrupt Biden 5 times while he was trying to answer a question, but Trump’s mic was off and we just saw Biden distracted by the cross talk we couldn’t hear!
@@halfcu7103 If Trump’s mic had been on it would have made sense to viewers and less like a senile man with awkward pauses. I wish Biden would have said “Will you shit up man?” like he did during the debates in 2020. Watch a traditional debate where the opponent can control themselves and the mics aren’t cut. Debaters respond to cross talk.
@@robertnobles8189 I agree with you. I strongly believe that an effective debater has the ability to challenge his or her opponent and deal with any interruptions as they arise. Not only did the muted mikes bug me, but I absolutely HATED when Karine Jean-Pierre announced to the White House press pool that President Biden was scheduling a "big boy press conference" - WTF? It was then that I realized that President Biden's cabinet was starting to have doubts about his ability to continue in the race, and the gears were set into motion to work on convincing him to step aside. I still think history will be kind to President Biden once we can reflect back on his accomplishments. However, I think it will be his love of country over his own personal aspirations which will be remembered as a fine act of patriotism and selflessness.
It doesn't matter Biden totally incapable of being president any longer I don't think it would have mattered what happened in the debate it's so obvious to our whole country and even the entire world who's watching are weak weak leader @@robertnobles8189

No one can really sell their side of an argument. There isn't enough time.

If he ever had a balanced panel maybe.
The problem with all three of the guests is that they have not, in decades, been in high school classrooms where history and government teachers working their asses off to teach the fullness of our country's story and are having to compete with smart phones and helicopter parents and politically cowardly school boards.
I remember some of my teachers, who were great, and others who were a joke.
Old women, who couldn’t discipline the most rowdy students, and ending up teaching nothing.
More interested in wasting 15 minutes on taking gum, and having kids spit it in a coffee can, than try to say shut up or you’re going to the office.
Get out.
There were about 5 teachers like that, who had no business there, mentally. We had about the same number, of teachers who were actually great.
I graduated high school at the turn of the millenium. No smartphones existed let alone in the hands of teens in the classroom. We had pagers & early T9 input cell phones.
Most people my age do not have the faintest idea about history. This isn't a problem with smartphones. It goes much longer and much deeper.
The shear amount of history being made this century is astounding. Most likely due to social medias usage worldwide.
Please!
I went to high school before smartphones took over. We learn learn about US history, and we call European history the history of Britain and occasionally Germany, France and Spain.
Unless you went to private school (and i am not even sure about that) you were kept a sheep in a tunnel.
US school system is horrendous if you care about creating people capable of making change, and the country and maybe world a better place.
Top 20 universities in the states is a different story. But one will notice that when it comes to science, and graduate degrees, more than half in those schools are given to foreigners.
These are facts
I graduated HS, when pagers didn't exist and PC were just arriving....
When parents respected teachers and the "need improvement" grade was taken seriously and parents actually cared to helped their kids improve.

I love the longer format for Overtime. The conversations are much richer and it’s a great supplement to the show.
I honestly don't know why they have to split it up. For years, it was all on HBO. Now we have to check two places to watch all of it. They should choose one or the other and stick with that. Make it longer, great, I just want it in one place like every other show in existence.

Interesting that Lowry is stating that Harris, if she had a majority in congress could be the next FDR or LBJ as if that would be worse than the former guy back in the WH.
Anybody that thinks LBJ or FDR were great presidents have no business voting in our elections.
Real hot take on that one. 😂
The right has been trying desperately to rewrite the legacy of FDR. There's a great t-shirt/poster....at the FDR presidential library in Hyde Park, NY listing all the accomplishments of FDR. At the top it says something like, "It's FDR's world and we live in it." It's great. Eisenhower was probably the last GOP president of consequence with the interstate system. Prior to him it would be Teddy Roosevelt who grew completely disenfranchised with the GOP and formed the Bull Moose party.
His point as I read it was more that they then *think* they will be the next FDR or LBJ as a "transformational president! (ie egomaniacal)
It would be worse but I can’t elaborate because it always gets deleted.
Man, never heard of Rich Lowery but it's good to know I should never trust anything from National Review.
Is it just me or does Lowry look a lot like and sound like Tony Hawk?
For real, what planet is he from?
Well.....I can echo the post above. "Is the National Review one person?"
But ya ...that guy was bad.

Trump was diminished long before he ran
McMaster sounds a lot like James Comey which makes him problematic when he waffles between two supposed extremes by inferring their similarities only to somehow denigrate one of the positions while exonerating the other. Him trying to boast about things trump got right was completely undone by his ultimate point that we all knew in the first place that his own ineptitude unraveled every possible sensible initiative. That's not erratic & inconsistent-it's chaotic & disqualifying-but McMaster refuses to call it a spade. And for all of the talk about how bad Biden handled the Afghanistan withdrawal Maher saved the most important irony of the fake outrage until the very end- 61 people died in Afghanistan under trump while 13 died under Biden. One is too many-but what they DIDN'T mention was Biden's administration didn't have the benefit of a peaceful transfer of power & a warm handoff from trump to get thorough briefings, and LASTLY-Biden's operation rescued 122,000 citizens. Trump never came anywhere close to that yet McMaster is hemming & hawing so that he doesn't offend the extremists in MAGA. Avlon was right-we don't need to normalize anything about us having a contested election between an honorable and accomplished prosecutor like Harris and an incompetent buffoonish & traitorous convicted rapist like trump.

If we are talking about curriculum and left vs. right, we should bring up the fact that basic science like evolution and climate change is sometimes not taught in far right red states
NOT TRUE MY GANDSON TOLD ME COW FARTS HURT THE ENVIRONMENT. LOLTHAT WAS ABOUT 15 YEARS AGO.
What's to teach about climate change?>The earth's temperature has fluctuated all through time. There was an Ice age. Trying to push a narrative that any creature on earth can control the weather is a lost cause. The "science" is a mere observation of weather patterns. Our lifetime isn't long enough to understand it. Might as well study air or water. How much is there to learn? How can such a simple thing be called "basic science"? The reason "climate change" has become a pushed narrative is because wealthy people seek to profit from it. they know you will buy anything if it makes you feel like a hero. Micheal Moore made a documentary exposing the green energy money making scheme and that's why they banned his film within days of its release.
You know what is now being pushed in blue states now? That some boys with junk are now female and should be able to undress in girl's locker rooms.

I find it interesting that Bill is quick to call out parents on guns and phones but not on education. My parents were on me when I was in school. Making sure I did my homework, reading, discussing what I was learning at the dinner table, etc. I’m not saying education is perfect but the more parents are involved with their kid’s education, the more kids value the importance of education and more learned we become.
Too busy on their phones like their kids. If you do not read part of your suffers, hence the dumbing down of gen Z and Gen alpha.
I feel there is a fine line that parents should walk in regards to their children's education.
As parents we should be aware of our child's progress, and available to our children for help, and support. We should be aware of what is going on between them and their teacher, and also their class interactions.
What we shouldn't be, is overly involved. There is such a thing as too much of a good thing. We actually take away from our children qhen we are constantly " helping". Let them learn to communicate with their teachers. Make them responsible for their own grades and homework.
Parents need to let teachers do their jobs, and stay in their lane and do their own job.
Teachers also need their authority back, and parents need to back them up. Your child isn't an angel.
Remember it's also that our economy (in terms of the average person) is so bad at this point, no matter what GDP says, that most parents have to work so much more they aren't able to spend as much time with their kids.

Trump stated you don't pay we won't either THEN WHAT ?? Russia invades you ? Negotiation and standing firm for the TAXPAYER AND HIS COUNTRY BEING RIPPED OFF ! HE SUCCEEDED ! He got NATO countries to start paying what they PROMISED ! 100's of BILLIONS OF DOLLARS the United States DIDN'T have to spend ! I call that a win for my COUNTRY and my POCKET . 👍
More people are suffering from the disastrous foreign policy blunders of Biden, we have women practically enslaved in Afghanistan, terrorism on the rise in the ME and a Ukrainian war. Democrats need to worry about their policies rather than Trump's speeches which often are just ideas he throws out without following through
The US doesn't need NATO. Those free-loading Euro-weenies need US.
@@CribNotes Freeloading Euro-weenie here: Honestly, we don't. We may need you to buy our cars and superior machines, but otherwise? I guess we'd cope. Yes, we have relied on US military often (but mostly in conflicts nobody needed anyway), but now I really think we would be strong enough to go on our own.
It's simply rational and reasonable for Western democracies to stand together and fight dictatorships.
Sure, that what they’re saying LOL
First time OverTime was better then the actual show
...and .... its free. lol
I agree !!! Better than the show this time
Right!?
We need more cogent, honest discussions like this in our media!
Won't happen. Absolutely won't happen. That's why I'm here every week...looking forward to it.
I give Bill credit for at least putting effort into this. A lot more than others will.
I agree! More men and women like this on the show!
I agree, but so many of the Trump supporting guests just seem to blatantly lie and try to talk over others with propaganda. And Bill just laughs and nods along. If he truly believes trump tried to overthrow the election, and refuses to this day to accept defeat, how can he actually take any of these people seriously, and provide them a platform to spread bullshit. Democracy doesn't stand for people like Trump, once you start questioning the results with false claims of rigged elections, sometimes before voting even takes place, you are clearly full of shit, and you are an enemy to democracy.
HR still supports trump, and he makes excuses for him.
Note HR, trump was right, but never wrong, only erratic and inconsistent
thank you, troll
And he kept rambling like Trump trying to defend him. Again, I thought Avlon could have done better to push HR to be specific in Trump being a better manager of American foreign policy. Again, the GOP penchant for violence, oppression and war direct their affiliation and views. What is feckless by being measured and not impulsive? Why do we have to be always forceful, violent because we have the powerful military? We might not always have a clear winner, Iraq, Vietnam, Afghan are examples, yet MAGA is always yelling attack, attack.

McMaster also piped up on the right of center every time. He was careful about it, but he was definitely leaning.
Lol you support insurrections in certain countries like a certain one in Eastern Europe.
Insurrection 🤣 I guess the “insurrectionists” forgot their guns. It was, at best, a political riot. But you’ll say nothing about the Summer of Love, where America cities were allowed to be looted and burned. How pathetic.
Insurrecting without arms nor needing to overwhelm the non guarded capitol while a small f'd up group got rowdy and destructive. No organized overthrow it was a chaotic. Hodgepodge of stupidity

The courts treating Trump with preferential treatment is political. Subjecting Trump to the same process as everyone else is actually non-political, lady justice is blindfolded.
Thank you.
Sad how the defense for postponing the sentencing was to avoid being seen is election interference but we all know Trump will keep using any & all of his legal troubles he endured as election interference anyway, especially when he loses, then as McMaster pointed out, the time between the election & inauguration will become a circus.
The Democratic Party needs to not be so concerned to look fair! No guts, no glory.
It should have been day one! Trying to “look fair” and hoping he would go away was a big mistake. They still scream it’s a political witch hunt regardless. The plain fact is trump is a witch! And he should have been held accountable for all the crimes he committed. But he never will. So beating Maga at the polls big, is our only hope of regaining some strength and integrity back in our country. I will NEVER understand ppl who support that grifter!
Don’t get mad… vote. Justice will come.
The sheer irony that HR McMaster came to national prominence through his book "Dereliction of Duty", and yet failed to take any of the purported lessons of that book to heart. Sad.
I was trying to attack McMaster in a delicate way, you did it for me,,Thanx
Can you explain, please? i dont understand thanks
@@jacklawer6389 As a Major, McMaster wrote a book titled "Dereliction of Duty; Johnson, McNamara, the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and the Lies That Led to Vietnam". In this book McNamara accuses US senior leaders of deliberately and malevolently committing acts that brought about the US involvement in Vietnam. Yet while he criticizes DonOld Trump for instability and ignorance, he can't wait to see DonOld back in the White House.
I think he came to National prominence when he became National Security Advisor.
@@roughhabit9085 I guess that depends on individual interests. I am interested in security and academic affairs, and "Dereliction of Duty" received extensive coverage when it was published, to include across the US media. He also received a great deal of coverage for the perceived success of his unit in Tal Afar and South Baghdad in 2005-2006 which resulted in Petraeus bringing him onto his staff as a "counterinsurgency advisor" 2007-2008. I say perceived, because I am of the impression that one of McMaster's greatest strengths is his ability to curry favorable press coverage for himself.
Absolutely love the longer discussion!! Allows far more depth and views on the topics. Also, what a fantastic episode and overtime!!
Hitler and Mussolini also had some great policy positions that stoked the economy and got the trains to run on time. How’d that turn out for their constituents?
Now that even Dick Cheney has declared his support for Kamala Harris, what's next? To counter this, Donald Trump must declare that he wants to make Hannibal Lecter his Attorney General.

Never heard of Rich Lowry before. The good news is I haven't been missing much.
People like Lowry always amaze the shit out of me; one thing is policy differences and the other is ignoring the fact that one guy and one party cozies up to extreme right wing democracy ending rhetoric. The insurrection, the praising of dictators, project 2025 are all game changers to our democracy.
he's all about his side of the fence and never looking over to the other side no matter what. brainwashed to hate.
He must be on that list of Russian stooges

Yes i hate Liberals and Conservatives BUT people are amazing. Everyone just needs to drop the party affiliations like were in some communist country....
I think that's the root of the issue is group vs group vs group now. Instead of idea vs idea.
Beliefs are hard to change. Ideas are easy. People will kill and die over beliefs....
His comment about Trump not being a threat to the election "if he wins" just proved he's braindead.
Lowry - IF HE WASN'T GUILTY - it is NOT ABSURD AND WRONG. NO ONE is above the LAW!!!!!!!
I appreciate Bill for getting guests that are not in the same sphere onto his show, but Lowry is simply a muppet.

Lowry got away with dropping so much b.s. Also, if you feel Trump is loathsome and that he did indeed try to subvert the constitution and overturn a legitimate election result, voting for Trump means you support THAT behavior.

He did fantastic!
He’s always reasonable IMO. Being married to a Republican he can’t hate the “other side” - just wish the asshat on the panel discussion (before Overtime) would’ve stopped pointing in his face and shouting over him with Faux talking points (ie, lies).
Let the General speak! He's the only one qualified to speak on most of this.
I was incredibly disappointed in his selective recounting of facts regarding the war and Afghanistan
@GEOHHADDAD a lot of times, generals are partitioned from broad observations
Great overtime. McMaster is a Trumpster claiming to be a neutral ‘historian’. He absolutely refuses to criticize Trump. The best he can do is say that he is erratic.
McMaster reportedly thinks Trump is an “idiot” with the brain of a “kindergartner”. He says these things behind closed doors. Not when it counts. Seems to be the definition of feckless. lacking initiative or strength of character; irresponsible.
"a feckless mama's boy"
McMaster was almost like watching 🤔 Bill Barr Lite. 😳
Agreed. The only times trump was occasionally "right" about the things McMaster was talking about was when he'd had to change his political rhetoric to try to make himself look good because people had objectively pointed out how wrong he'd originally been.
That wasn't "erratic", it was being caught trying to change democracy into banana-republic, authoritarianism.
Yeah he knows how to play it safe which is cowardly. Trump can’t do anything to him
I caught that too on several occasions. Big difference between Trump being a threat to our democracy as even Dick Cheney acknowledged, to him just being “erratic”.
Why complain when your voting laws are outdated. Does the electoral college represents 2024?
Russian Republicanism
We sure hope it does because in 58 days those delegates will be re-electing Donald J. Trump! USA!
Yes, numbnuts. The electoral college is the Union.
Go on, tell us how we should run our country comrade. 😆 You're really bad at this.
I’ve never seen Lowry speak before but I read his editorial where he thought Trump could win on character. A laughable ideologue he struck me.
I'm really curious what people think "character" should generally consist of with people...I feel ya!
Kamala lies all the time. She said she was not going to take guns! She has already said she supports mandatory but back. The key word mandatory. The CBS political hacks did not call her out on that or anything else she lied about!
Funny hearing HR McMasters call Tucker Carlson a grifter while he promotes his own book on the show 😅
Bill, you make one huge, glaring omission about Trump and J6. The plan as we know it could not have worked without republican House and Senate members helping. It's not just trump who's a traitor and shouldn't hold office.
Get with the program. It's not that hard. Hold them ALL accountable.
And as for the withdrawal from Afghanistan, it was trump that signed the agreement, it was trump that allowed 5000 Taliban out of prison, AND it was trump that kept Biden's transition from beginning until far later than is custom. Trump hobbled Biden's ability to prepare. And he put the murderers on the streets.
Trump is more guilty than Biden for those people's lives. That's reality.

This conversation affirms what I have been saying all along: This election is about many things, and those things can be debated ad nauseum. But, ultimately, it is about competency. Trump is incompetent, regardless of his purported "policies". Harris has demonstrated competency.
When I consider a candidate the first consideration is "Are they competent?". Character is second. Trump has a weak character, obviously. Policy promises only inform me on whether or not the candidate is aligned with my personal philosophies. But character and policy are both irrelevant if the candidate is incompetent.
FDR WAS A GREAT PRESIDENT
LBJ SAW YHAT THE AMERICAN CIVIL RIGHTS ACT BECOME LAW
NIXON ESTABLISHED THE EPA. WHY ALL CAPS BRO?
One of the best and most dynamic panels on the show. This is an excellent conversation.
McMaster's has authored at least two really good books.
The other two only spouted lame, party lines and insults.
Their hair was good though.
Bill's extremely partisan before the election. Good room reader though.
If Republicans want their party back, I'm not talking about Trumpers, they aren't Republicans. Trump needs to be handed a loss so bad that they can finally move away from the guy.
True.
One of the biggest problems of American politics is that Americans put too much emphasis on party loyalty, and not enough on how to get their parties to be competent.
If Americans want our country back, we need to actually address the problems that led to Trump. In France, they just defeated the far right in elections. One one hand, it's good, on the other hand, the far right has more seats in government than ever before. And yet you see headlines mostly about France defeated the far right. They'll get more power in the next election if the reasons for people voting for the far right aren't addressed. Same here, if the reasons that people choose to support Trump aren't addressed, with or without Trump, the republican party will continue to shift to the far right.
People are unhappy, and when people are unhappy, the worst thing you can tell them, be grateful, could be worse, because they will look for populists who promise them things will be better and proceed to burn everything down.
Too much focus on Trump being the problem.
Donald Trump is more of a liberal than a kamala Harris she been funding Wars big government big business and the banks the Democrats have become the Republicans
Yeah but if he loses he’ll say it was stolen again and his supporters will simply believe him
Democrats are weird.

I’m an American living in France for the last 8 years. It’s not a perfect democracy as well, but it is better than the American version. It doesn’t mean I think America is terrible, but there are better examples if the conversation is democracy. Don’t confuse the power of an economy to the quality of its democracy.
Why is French democracy better than American democracy? Do you mean exclusively National democracy or is local French democracy better than American school board meetings aswell?

Apples and oranges. The two countries have nothing in common. You can’t compare.
Justifying slavery because it happened all over the world at the time doesn’t tell the viciousness hateful way ppl were treated no excuse for that .
Even if you say well, those were the times in reference to slavery, you can't then also support people who say slaves had it good and they shouldn't complain or that Jim Crow era or separate and disturbingly unequal or the violent backlash against the civil rights movement weren't that significant or bothersome. A lot of the discriminatory and biased application of the law, social programs, financing, housing employment access occurred well into the 1980s and 90s. To act like well that's all in the past would be so is Benghazi, so was the withdrawal from Afghanistan, so was 9/11...so should those issues NO longer have any bearing on U.S. policy?
There discussion about slavery proves why diversity programs need to exist. Nobody was there to tell these guys that the American form of slavery was unlike any other in the world.
Get off the Dem Plantation already
@@ichill8476all slavery was bad.
And American slavery was ended by Republicans. Get off the Dem plantation
White people in Europe and America were the only people at the time who even considered the possibility that slavery should stop. Middle easterner's and African's continued with slavery for another 100 years after we abolished it, and many (Non White) society's still have slavery to this day. Our education system pretends that White People invented slavery in 1600, when they should be teaching that White People were the only race who fought to end slavery.
Remember the times where both candidates were polite and respectful? Both proud of their nation. Man times have changed.
That was Before we were educated that they were complete corrupt crooks who deserve no respect. They should have to wear Winnie the Poo masks.
Do you mean when the candidates were fake? So what Donald Trump is mean He tells you how it is And the truth is not pleasant the world is not pleasant World War 3 is not pleasant
Its the blame game which is always a weak leadership position. Avalon made comments about leadership and both Lowery and McMaster didn't touch that as the problem with Trump. Anyone can start killing people around the world to look tough but where does that lead? Bush blows up Iraq so why didn't the world cower at the strength of the US, it should have been a lasting thing. But then the Middle East strikes back with 9/11 and we were lit up and they found out that the god bleeds. The rest of the world does not fear the US as much as China has brought wealth to these smaller countries, it wasn't the US as US multinationals always suck these countries dry and the people in these countries start to hate the US. I whipped off onto a tangent but ultimately, Trump was more of a problem/fear for our allies than he was a feared character by our enemies. Putin had already secured Crimea, the Donbas and just needed a bit more time to do a slow easy coup to take UKR. Trump loses so now Putin has to weigh his options, will Trump run in 2024, will he be able to win, can I wait any longer and it would seem he couldn't wait. The GOP has done all it could for Putin by not fully backing UKR and for McMaster to not rip the GOP for that is disingenuous on his part since he says he isn't a partisan.
And a Dick Cheney endorsement should be denounced not embraced 😂 shows how the Democrat party has switched to the pro war party
What has changed is that Divisive Donald is one of the candidates. Obama and McCain or Romney -- there was always respect in both directions.
"...if she gets elected, KH will be the new FDR..." Hell yeah!! Be so great!@ Way to go KH 2024

We've seen 3 1/2 years of the transformation she wants. I wonder what their magic number is before they slow the flow of unlawful migrants. What do you think? 20? 30? Maybe they want to double the size and push it upwards of 700+ million by adding 350+ million illegal influx. You could guarantee a permanent dissolution of the republican party and could most certainly rewrite or abolish the constitution. They could finally get rid of the pesky second amendment and then be able to stimy any speech they deem problematic.
I'll be dead and gone by then thank god, but I'm afraid of the future for the children of this fine republic. They don't want to fix any of the problems we have. They just want power. They all just want power.

To him, yes. Apparently, he so loathes FDR, he'd rather support the next Hitler or at best Mussolini. Very American.

Trump DID interrupt Biden 5 times while he was trying to answer a question, but Trump’s mic was off and we just saw Biden distracted by the cross talk we couldn’t hear!
So?Was that rude af? Classless? Yes. But im more concerned that all it takes is interruptions to throw off the PRESIDENTS train of thought.
@@halfcu7103 If Trump’s mic had been on it would have made sense to viewers and less like a senile man with awkward pauses. I wish Biden would have said “Will you shit up man?” like he did during the debates in 2020. Watch a traditional debate where the opponent can control themselves and the mics aren’t cut. Debaters respond to cross talk.
@@robertnobles8189 I agree with you. I strongly believe that an effective debater has the ability to challenge his or her opponent and deal with any interruptions as they arise. Not only did the muted mikes bug me, but I absolutely HATED when Karine Jean-Pierre announced to the White House press pool that President Biden was scheduling a "big boy press conference" - WTF? It was then that I realized that President Biden's cabinet was starting to have doubts about his ability to continue in the race, and the gears were set into motion to work on convincing him to step aside. I still think history will be kind to President Biden once we can reflect back on his accomplishments. However, I think it will be his love of country over his own personal aspirations which will be remembered as a fine act of patriotism and selflessness.
It doesn't matter Biden totally incapable of being president any longer I don't think it would have mattered what happened in the debate it's so obvious to our whole country and even the entire world who's watching are weak weak leader @@robertnobles8189
Your making excuses for a senile old man that never should have been president.
