What's the hurry with Overtime here? Does he have someplace to go? You've got two great guests - let the discussion go on for 10 minutes or so, as in the past. There was plenty to discuss about Ukraine. And about the state of the Biden Presidency. And the coming mid-terms. And to talk about them in some depth. That's why you have folks like this on. We don't need extended time on Disney every week or how "the government" and the "experts" got it all wrong on Covid - they DIDN'T get it all wrong. Every week this gets brought up. Mary Katharine Ham should have been given some more actual political questions. Caitlin Flanagan is great on cultural issues. I don't get why this Overtime got cut so short.
I agree on the covid thing. They DIDN'T get it all wrong. That's a republican talking point. Just like teaching CRT is a right talking point; CRT is NOT being taught anywhere but POST Graduate classes. And liberals are trying to make students gay. BTW, that math problem highlights the bigotry of the right. If they don't like that being pointed out, stop being so openly bigoted.
Because everything of substance they could talk about would further humiliate the Democrat party and Joe Biden so they spent more time talking about Johnny Depp and Amber Heard because that's safe for the dnc
Have to agree with @nigel page because Real Time is no longer live, he probably just wants to go to his 'green room' (pun intended) to get high... and he's losing the high from before filming 🤣
Sorry Bill.... As a teacher I can say that for many... the short time of eye opening reflection parents had during the pandemic as to how hard it is to be a teacher (and their kid's role in it) has long since disappeared. Thanks to the right we are being hammered once again with all kinds of crazy crap that many parents are just buying into... like we are trying to indoctrinate their precious babies. *sighs* There are MANY, MANY problems with education today... but teachers are NOT at the root of it. It's politicians pushing all kinds of crazy crap and TONS.... BILLIONS of TONS of testing mandates and other stupid mandates. CRT? Are you nuts? None of that is in our standards and we are crucified if we teaching anything not in the "standards". Teacher have no time and NO autonomy to teach any of that EVEN IF we wanted to do so... and we DO NOT.
And Social emotional learning (SEL) in math? It is a methodology that helps students of all ages to better comprehend their emotions, to feel those emotions fully, and demonstrate empathy for others. These learned behaviors are then used to help students make positive, responsible decisions; create frameworks to achieve their goals, and build positive relationships with others. Bill could have exposed the truth about banning students about Black mathematicians, not intentionally using a graph displaying racism. DeSantis has been proven to eliminate books because they mention Black mathematicians & how they developed formulas or contributed to the development of such. DeSantis is going to use a publisher that he knows & financially supports DeSantis, allowing his friend to profit off of the restrictions.
I'm a teacher, too, and while there are many amazing and ethical teachers, I'm going to point out that a LOT of my fellow teachers pushed to keep the schools closed and whined all the way back because (in some cases) they loved working from their out-of-state vacation homes, etc. And they poo-pooed me when I suggested this was harming Blacks, Latinos, and socio-economically challenged students the most-which the data now shows was correct. All while at the same time pushing CRT out the wazoo at my school. Teaching is indeed hard (try being a non-leftist in a school in LA) but America's criticism is not thanks to the right. It's thanks to the parents themselves, who saw with their own eyes what's going on.
@@paulafigueroa1573 No shit, turns out the cure was worse than the disease. Thanks teacher unions, a huge help in making matters worse once again. Also begs the question, why does a so called professional need a union.
Corporate profits are also at a 50 year high. If we don't expect companies to lower prices when things are booming (last year) why do we tolerate them raising prices to maintain record profits? How is it sustainable to expect endless growth in profits?
Not being talked about enough how corporations are clearly trying to make a point by gouging. Namely, they want wages back down or else they will help keep inflation high. Either making a point or just cynically lashing out over the creation of a workers market.
Oh come on, high gas prices is a huge contributing factor here. Now, that also has a component of price gouging. Oil companies have slowed production, originally in response to low demand from the pandemic...but now that demand is back up, they haven't responded with increased production... Conservatives make the excuse that this is due to horrible Leftist environmental policies; but that's proven to be mostly BS due to the fact that countries like Saudi Arabia have NO SUCH regulations and they are still slowing production. It's just an excuse to keep prices high.
But. "The average American’s wages have increased 11% to offset some of those price increases...Morgan Stanley economists expect consumer earnings will continue to rise, causing corporate profit margins to take a hit in 2022. “Wage gains are not just due to the rapid recovery from the COVID-19 shock that may ease as the economy loses some steam,” Morgan Stanley economists Julian Richers and Ellen Zentner told Bloomberg. “Instead, higher wage growth in excess of productivity is likely to be the norm, not the exception, for some time as the labor share of corporate income normalizes.”"
I hope someone who works for Bill reads this. He really needs to have actual educators on his show. The guests do not know public education or the difficulties our schools face. Teachers and unions are not “leftists”. We fight for our students and we are not in charge of curriculum. We are in charge of taking the one size fits all curriculum and individualizing it for classrooms of 30+ kids, meeting them where they are after losing a year of learning. Public schools are not failing kids. Politicians who cut funding, politicize education, and drastic economic inequities are. I love Bill, but I do not like the attacks on public schools that will further our politicians’ goals (both on the left and right) of privatizing education and making money off of the educational disparity that they themselves are creating.
Get real. Unions are there for the benefit of the teachers and not the students. Unions used children as an excuse to not return to in person learning because of covid despite children being the least vulnerable. Unions are the reason that it is extremely difficult to get rid of an awful teacher. Unions and the billions they posses are the reason why they are able to lobby politicians to keep parents from getting money for their children's educations directly and then choosing where to send their children to school. Infinitely better to give the 12k or 13k per year per student to the parents and let them decide to send them to a private, religious, charter, etc and if there is money leftover save it toward a college fund. Public schools in California went from number 1 in our state to dead last. Just awful.
You can speak for yourself, but you cannot speak for all educators. Teachers have been recorded and caught spewing their own political beliefs. Tell your coworkers to keep their woke BS to themselves and teach!!!
@@ZapataE What percentage of all the teacher do these politicised teachers make? Because if it is a small percentage, your argument is completelly pointless. You can't stop everyone in community this large. And it is bad when people judge a group counting thousands of individuals by the acts of a few. So, please give me the proof that the percentage is high (say 10% and more) or keep your superficial bullshit opinions to yourself.
Bill and panel, what is the REAL purpose of wearing masks? Before COVID and wearing masks by normal people everywhere, why did surgeons and nurses wear masks? Because it keeps their own personal germs inside the mask so they don't infect patients, especially in surgery. Why are there instructions/signs on coughing and sneezing that show you should do that in a tissue or your arm sleeve covering your mouth and nose? To trap as much of the germs from shooting into the air and others inhaling it. So what is the real purpose of wearing masks? Not to protect the mask wearer but others around them.
Covid goes thru masks like piss goes thru underwear. In other words, THEY DONT DO SHIT! Yes, masks help with other sicknesses but not covid. Studies have shown this for over a year. Find a current news source or dont bother posting your ignorant comments. BYEEEEE
Masks have become a political signaling tool. It is sad really. At the start of the pandemic, some things went haywire that discombobulated the whole thing and we are still paying for it now. 1. We had a disease that was killing people where some people could spread it while being asymptomatic and nobody could know if they were in danger. This is basically a biblical demon metaphor. Nobody could know who was actually spreading the disease so we had to assume it could always be there lurking. 2. We didn't know if masks actually stopped spreading the disease in a population. We had a good idea it did based on germ theory, usage as PPE in occupational environments, and in SE Asia where they started using them after the SARS 2003 pandemic. But the only real study was done by like a history professor, years before Covid, who was just curious if masks actually slowed down germ spread. It was her study that was the one being sighted in the early part of the pandemic. She never imagined it to be something of that magnitude, a political tool to misinform people. 3. The CDC was literally under siege by a hostile administration, one that stripped their reporting duties and transferred it to the NHS so that the administration could control the messaging, again... in an election year. They knew the administration was lying to the public and only cared about winning re-election. The CDC lie about the improper use of masks was literally an attempt to try and protect the supply lines of our medical industry because if the pandemic wipes out your medical personnel then you're fucked. So implicitly they were saying masks are affective. The administration had made the decision that winning was more important than people's lives, and it's kind of against the medical Hippocratic oath to just let people die so the CDC did what they did. People forget you literally could not get masks anywhere at the start of the pandemic, as well as toilet paper or bleach. 4. This was a new "novel" virus. We didn't know how it spread (remember wiping down surfaces?) or how to treat it (hydroxychloroquine, remdesivir, ivermectin, vitamin C+Steroid injections) It was all trial and error as most fact-finding missions are, AND it was all being done in a moment of crisis under incompetent leadership. Every country around the world was trying to digure this out on the fly, that's how severe the situation was just two years ago. The President would literally come out in front of the press, or Twitter, and literally contradict any information about the pandemic, INCLUDING himself. It was fucking chaos. So blaming an underfunded and underappreciated institution like the CDC after most of the smoke has cleared is some front-runner bullshit in my opinion.
Can we get past the complaining about masks thing? And please bring back the old show format with a 3 person panel plus an extra celebrity plugging something at the end. This just seems like 2 people agreeing with Bill for forty minutes
ROFLMAO No way would have Trump sent U.S> troops to go after his Beloved Dictator Bromance Partner, Putin. Have you been in a CAVE the last 6+years when Trump has lavished Putin with praise???
Yet, every time Russia attacks a former state the democrats are in office. Strange. Do you find the taste of paint sweet or do you just like the colors.
Important point on gas prices is why no commenting on the fact gas companies have had record profits, refuse to increase supply even though there are thousands of unused permits to drill, which would reduce cost.. Drives me crazy lot of the media seems to not hold them accountable.
Because no matter what the situation is or the "real reason", the American public always thinks it's the president's fault for gas prices to go up...no one else's. And no matter who the president is or their party, but somehow when prices fall, the same people don't praise the president for it. Only when they go up. Nevermind that the president has extremely little to do with gas prices.
Business make decisions about pricing as a way to influence political outcomes. They know certain politicians are good for their interests (avoiding/reducing tax liability, legal shield against torts, favorable corporate autonomy over worker rights, limiting regulatory reach relating to climate change and environmental impact etc). They will drop gas prices and meat prices when THEIR guys are in office and raise those prices when the "OTHER" guys are in office. And the public will blame the guys in office and NOT see who is really pulling the strings!
When, excluding the non establishment Trump, have they ever held any powerful people accountable. The media is owned by the establishment powerful and protected by the managerial class. Take off your rose colored glasses. The democrats have now out raised and out spent the republicans in corporate money. Grow up.
It's becoming an ever increasing ungrateful and laborious job. I don't have kids and i'm not a teacher, but the experiences i have had over the years, interactions with parents and kids and seeing on the news what comes of it, for example what happens on social media, sure tell me that things are not getting any better. I remember growing up in the 80s/90s, as a kid, you used to be 'scared' of the teens, because they were bigger and smarter and whatnot, but as i grew up, i saw that the bullying intensified among younger kids, they had more freedom, because the parents got milder and schools lost their much needed backup from these parents. The search for viral moments brought the overall attentionspan down, sitting through class was too much to ask of the students, dumbing themselves down willingly. Being "Learned" was not cool, being "Loud" was the cool thing. The age of 'being afraid for someone older' had come down at the same rate that i was growing up, so by the time that i was a teen, i almost had to start looking out for younger kids with attitudes. I think parents broke that teacher-student bond as well around the late 90s, by picking the side of the child too many times "how dare you suggest that my child is not perfect!". And now they seek to repair it by getting involved again, despite not acknowledging the initial breaking point tha i just mentioned (probably because both the parent's involvements come from different sides of the political aisle). And i'm mostly talking about my experiences here in the Netherlands, it is a Western issue, if not a global issue.
Roger Thank God you're not Teaching Kids.. If you ever did ! But we Thank you for That.... The Kids deserve better than you anyway !! Maybe you shouldn't work with People or animals at all..... The God's were smiling Down on us when you Quit Dude
Count on Americans to talk about inflation as if it's just our problem. the entire world is at 40 year inflation highs while worldwide corporations are at 70-year profit highs. Of course 85% of Americans do not travel , while 70% of other countries citizens do travel. Americans know English only.not very well while 75% of foreigners speak two or three languages, including the immigrants the GOP hates so bad
Mr. Maher doesn't know how much a whole chicken costs, but one of his interns could probably have helped do some research for an inflation comedy bit on a supermarket chicken. It must be hard to see outside of the bubble he's in.
Totally agree! In an effort to deprive others of rights, America has dumbed down in comparison to other countries. Being privileged doesn’t make you the best!!!
inflation is significantly higher in the US than in Europe or Canada despite Europe's heavier reliance on Russian oil. The US printed way more money than any other industrialized country and that caused our inflation to exceed our peers'.
No clue who she was but the "OraNgE MAn BaD!" comment raised some flags. She didn't miss a chance to blame left leaning leadership when 2020 schools were closed and Trump was in the pilot seat. Biden had all of 2021 to take blame but early March 2020 through December is all Orange man.
@@gphjr1444 I live in one of the most democratic states in America and schools were not closed here after Biden took office. And it actually had nothing to do with any president. It was governors and municipalities that made the decisions. The discourse on this show recently is maddening.
And no one corrected her on it. This episode in particular was huge drop in quality. What an utter throwaway of an episode. Also, we had zero vaccines back then. Completely moronic takes.
Caitlin Flanagan claims that teachers decide what textbooks are used. That is patently false. Teachers are lucky to even have access to textbooks at all, as we are all encouraged to design our own curriculum using online resources. Adhering to textbooks is considered lazy and will get us rated ineffective and fired. In my thirteen years of teaching in NYC, I have yet to encounter a class that relied on a textbook. I also have yet to encounter a teacher who had any say in what textbooks were purchased by a school. Ms. Flanagan also lays the blame for those ridiculous textbook examples (using measurements of liberal values to teach charts and graphs) at the feet of teachers when she says that teachers tend to be leftists. While I am a leftist, I am in the distinct minority as a public school teacher in NYC. The Trumpist wave is alive and well here, and it didn't fail to sweep up teachers in its wake.
People beat on teacher so much but frankly the curriculum is set by the school board which is often elected members. So basically, these parents GOT EXACTLY who and what they voted for and now are b*tching because their feeble minds are activated by RIGHT WING catfishing and political gaslighting!
Like how Caitlin Flanagan mentioned how 14 & 15 year olds who have suffered through the pandemic are now in their 20s. Does she understand math? 14 + 2 = 16 ( 16 < 20 ) 15 + 2 = 17 ( 17 < 20 ) 🙄🤣
I had that exact thought too. I mean I know they're teaching new math, so to speak, in schools now but I didn't think that meant that kids in their mid teens aged at two or three times the actual rate per year. I mean I guess Time Lord tardis technology could have been involved but that's not a real thing, so...
Right? What was that about? His opening monologue had a bit about not wanting to get married. He basically made the same joke twice. What were they so uncomfortable with?
@@crystalroche2168 probably him completely taking the Depp side, when each previous court has seen all the evidence and sided on Heard’s side, I guess.
Newsflash, point? Maybe talking about what Americans don't know during a discussion about education is a bad idea. Maybe classes on economics instead of gender studies is in order. Nah, better to keep kids dumb and divided. The left wing way, right out of the Orwellian playbook.
@@ericholdsworth6611 You're beating up a straw man. Economics is taught in high school. Gender studies is not. Stop gobbling up everything Fox feeds you. Corporations are making record profits and raising prices at rates greater than their increased costs. They are price gouging and no one is doing anything about it.
@@billn2348 When one defends gender studies at any level their true colors come out. Maybe advanced basket weaving should be the next wave. Economics is briefly covered in high school, however judging by what you said very briefly covered. Yes, corporations are showing record profits, I didn't deny that. There are many factors involved, not just artificial raising prices. The idiocy of shutting down the economy may have led to this as well. You gave people nothing to do but money to spend, some in the case of unemployment, never had that much steady income. The government that many liberals love so much contributed far more to record profit for large corporations than they did. But you will never see the forest through the trees, and continue watching MSNBC types lie to you on a daily basis. I don't watch nightly news casts, you obviously still have the fairy tale notion that Fox is the only one to push their perspective. Really dumb.
Yes, however they wanted them to reopen as usual and were fought tooth and nail. You know this as well as I do, yet your playing dumb. Your very good at what you do.
@@blaineboyle5997 When did I blame Joe Biden during my comment? My love affair of politicians ended a long time ago. I was hurt badly and realized I must walk away. I guess once you go D.C, you don't come back. That does not however bring an endorsement of Joe Biden, a man who has remained in Washington almost as long as I have graced this planet, a man for whom integrity and a true sense of reality never really existed. The fact that Washington is so out of touch with the average working mans issues is astounding, and anyone can relish in it's environs without making a trip to an asylum makes me think you might be corrupt beyond the pale. Trump is no longer president, Joe Biden is, an things are looking rather shitty, something that anyone with a brain had predicted. Thanks for your kind words of encouragement.

Didn't schools close for a year under trump? I'm not understanding her point, seems to be the answer to every question for her. Also don't states control the schools? Why would that affect Biden's approval rating?
On the Q about JB's low polling-- how much of that negative sentiment is based upon hearing/reading over & over how low the polling is- a negative feedback effect? I.e. most people aten't super into current events but gauge their feelings on what seem to be the prevailing sentiment. People are sheepish & look to see where the flock is going & it's hard to resist
Suburban Karen version of Kate Beckinsale. Mary K. Hamm tends to sound all indignant over supposed liberal activity and yet HAS ZERO to say about book banning, trying to infuse Christian prayer in school, government using its power to heavy-handedly influence private sector business decision.
Exactly. If Ham's children are such a burden to her, just imagine how horrible they are for everyone else! I think she shouldn't have had children to begin with.
@@DS-rt1ed Agreed. I think this is what most of the wining and complaining is really about. People who had children for vanity's sake... because they wanted a replica of themselves, not because they actually wanted to parent those children. There's a difference between being a parent on paper and being an actual hands-on parent who is ready and willing to do the heavy lifting that is parenthood.
@@NovaLena22 I wish I could give this comment a thousand likes. So much easier for careless people to foist their annoying kids on someone else, and then blame them for the outcome of their own lack of adequate child-raising. Parenthood is not for the selfish.
I did not like your guests, they said a bunch of nothing, but the reason Florida is banning books, follow the money. Glenn younkin used to be the CEO of Carlisle group, who bought the book publishing company out of Houston who is going to be the only publisher allowed to go to Republican state schools. When did you guys get either naive or too lazy to do any study before you go on the air with a subject.
Yes, if you're a complete moron who has no clue what an insurrection actually is, then you'd be correct. Not a single constitutional scholar agrees that January 6th was anything more than a riot by a bunch of individual idiots. It was NOT an insurrection. Bill is just sucking up to the left, attempting to make up for telling the truth about their insanity and damage to the country so much recently.
Wrong, GOP is mad that we have a corrupt media who will omit or highlight stories in order to push the Democrat narrative. Brainwashing as many people as possible to get the to vote and believe the way they want you to. Perfect example is the hunter Biden laptop. Too close to election, it's just Russian disinformation, nothing to see here.
I could have given 20 examples of Biden and Democrats spitting on Democracy and our Constitution. Maher is blinded by his hatred for Republicans. When he criticizes Democrats that's to HELP them beat Republicans.
Are you seeing only half the truth...therefore not actually the truth? Conservatives do not want to end democracy more than the democratic party already HAS ended democracy. DNC is as undemocratic as it gets! Bernie was the leading candidate when he was UNDEMOCRATICLY hoodwinked and bamboozled by the "democratic" party👀
The hurt and destruction is very hard to measure, especially when the students are from poor families or broken/abusive homes. We shut down schools and continued to panic and did a disservice to the students. All based on faulty science and narcissistic fear. I guess if you had that perspective school closing might pose a problem. But if your real concern was your own well being and not the kids you would think it was just fine an fucking dandy.
Right, couldn't have anything to do with the mandated eugenics experiment which was a complete failure, increased deaths from all causes across the board by like 40%, and was imposed on everyone on pain of become homeless or worse if you refuse. Also, he has an official government department labeling people who challenge his bullshit narratives with comments and posts on social media as "domestic terrorists." Yeah, I'm sure nobody cares about any of that, his approval is in the sewer because of schools🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
@@ericholdsworth6611 I’m a teacher and I can’t even tell you how many students were gravely ill and hospitalized along with their parents after we reopened. So better to risk their health/life so they can have in person learning? For social interaction? Which they don’t do any way even sitting next to each other they communicate by texting. 🤷🏻♀️
@@jojohunt1412 The numbers prove you're not being honest. Kids have extremely low numbers according to every source available except MSNBC, the panic network. I have internet capability, maybe teach a class on research and critical thinking.
I never said schools closing wasn’t an important issue, but I also wonder how much of that anxiety kids have is actually from social media and nothing to do with schools being closed. I hated school, I would have gladly learned remotely. I also think kids are a lot more resilient than people like to give them credit for. I’m just saying, she could have other arguments to make besides coming on a show and only saying one thing over and over and over. She was a really boring guest.
I remember "flatten the curve" was the modus operandi for the lock downs, which was to buy time for the vaccines to be rolled out. I distinctly remember Trump railing against the vaccines, until he got sick with the bug.
@@Molecular-Brainwaves-Translate And I believe that the lock down was to help the hospitals and morgues, to keep them from overflowing with Covid patients and bodies.
I've watched Bill for a long time, but had to turn off the latest episode, because it seems to me, the only one obsessed with masks is Bill. It's all he every seems to talk about.
Neither women had shit to say about teachers.....shame on them. We hold nurses up as heroes and teachers get silence, so typical. But you don't want your kids home for year....god forbid.
Living in Orange County, Florida I have a 10 foot perspective of what DeSantis did to Disney. All of the costs such as fire, sanitation, and security will now fall to the counties that Disney resides. That means that in the tune of millions of dollars each year will be passed on to the tax payers in the form of higher property taxes. Way to go DeSantis, here is looking out for your. constituents.
Mark. Perhaps Desantis is not oblivious to the financial factor here. Perhaps there are things more precious than money. Do please consider the possibility that someone with a differing political perspective is not an idiot and maybe listen to their reasoning before you reject them. That is the only way to know if their position is faulty
@@lynncarter4964 I think it is a fair point though, even if i agree with DeSantis. If this rift results in the average citizens' bill getting higher, it will be a cause for pause. As every conflict nowadays seems to have the same result, the bill getting higher and higher, while never actually solving any of the issues.
@@lynncarter4964 his reasoning is prejudice. Desantis is a bigot who is targeting the lgbtq community before they are even adults. If you can make decisions based on prejudice you can certainly make them based on lack of intelligence. I think Mark is spot on.
It’s true. Hungary is literally on brink of becoming a authoritarian conservative nation. They literally closed ALL university’s in the nation and they moved to Vienna. They did everything the GOP wants to do in America.
@@youvegotmysong There’s nothing wrong with protecting your borders. The Democrat party should cut the crap about claiming they’re more sympathetic than Republicans. If they the Left was being honest with itself they’d admit that they don’t give a damn about the drugs, the gangs or the human trafficking. They only care about the prospect of potentially importing new voters they can get hooked on their gov’t programs. Staying in power by forcing the US taxpayer to subsidize a whole new underclass of Democrat voters is their goal. It’s pretty sick.
Getting tired of Bill harping every segment and episode about masks, masks, masks. I’ll wear my mask personally, but pls just let people make their own choices. Start having real critical conversations again, your last guests Nancy and David were a breath of fresh air. Especially Nancy, who you clearly never agreed with. But isn’t that the fun of civil debate and the essence of real time.
Maher seems to think that ridiculing liberals for wearing masks stamps him as intellectually honest and free of political bias. All it really shows is that he hasn't bothered to read the studies on mask-wearing and coronavirus infection/transmission.
Nancy was an absolute moron who said she "only reads respectable" publications...an echo chamber is what she likes. Who said she gets to decide what is respectable or not?
@@jojohunt1412 I think he is trying to remind everyone that the government will lie to you and to not automatically believe everything they tell you. The masks and vaccine lies have really hurt public confidence in government and health officials. If we forget it will happen again.
Wearing a mask is like wearing a plunger on your head. It's not working, and you look silly. Breathe oxygen unobstructed please. Your brain will work better
The woman who was upset because schools were closed was upset because she realized some truths: 1) her children were not as smart as she thought. They were whiny and needy. 2) she realized she wasn't as smart as she thought. Concepts were presented in a way she did not understand and she was feckless as a teacher. Like many, parents learned that it takes a special person to be a teacher. It's very difficult to convey ideas such that another can learn. The egos of many were shattered when their child's attention span is no more than 30 seconds and they are too fragile to be left alone so she could have a zoom meeting. Take your hat off to teachers who make the impossible possible and they make it look easy.
No. Sorry. It was mostly due to not being able to go to work. Not everybody had to opportunity to work from home. Nobody seems to mention that aspect of the lockdowns. So if your kid was home you couldn’t go to work. It’s so easy to look at just the teaching side and be totally aloof to the other realities of a working home. You people are clueless.
A few laughs, but it's time to stop with the pandemic and mask bashing- neither Realtime or panelists ever get to the real issue: what we're gonna do next time and how we got where we are in the first place.
This crew needs to stay clear of public health. Btw what's so hard to understand about "amount of exposure" in restaurants? I accept some but don't want direct exposure to every virus dripping mouth breather walking by.
Bill highlights the problem every week that the nuts don't want to talk about. Weight and lack of exercise. You didn't see a lot of healthy people dying. Most had a lot of issues from being overweight, from eating like shit, and from never exercising. The US needs to live a little healthier.
Odenkirk, Russian product bit, and New Rules were great. But the points made by the panel were not well thought out. No drug or precaution measure is going to be 100% but that doesn't mean you shouldn't do it when this many deaths are happening. Even if the mask doesn't keep me from getting COVID it can lower the viral load and lead to a milder infection.
Agree! They're arguing points about personal risk...yadda yadda yadda. Nothing about trying to keep the healthcare system (the best in the world) from being overrun, staffed and capable of treating people that need treatment. We missed it by a mile. It was just a month ago the national guard finally left the hospital I work at.
@@stupidass31 Masks are mostly ineffective, the false sense of security may have contributed to higher cases of covid. If we had treated covid as adults instead of panicky children we would be out of this mess. A good tragedy is never passed up by the talentless and authoritarians.

You were wrong, deal with it before you are the ones wearing a scarlet letter formerly reserved for those of us who said this all along.

I like Bill but he's so wrong about the effectivness of masks. Several studies (i.e. from the Max-Plack-Institute) show that FFP2-masks limit the risk of an infection significantly
Yeah... but we have no right to tell other people how to feel. My daughter has always been anti drug of any kind. As a child she would endure a headache over taking a Tylenol. I am double vaxed. But we love each other and when she got Covid, she isolated and recovered without hospitalization. Each to.his own.
Weak show tonight. Talking about worker filing suit about unwanted birthday party. It is not symbolic of anything important, a waste of my time and declines the shows value.
This was a hard episode to watch. I get it, the pandemic hurt your business and moms had to take care of their own children. Let's conveniently ignore the fact that most of the changes to quarantine, mask-wearing, etc. were made to get people to cooperate with health measures. Yes, it makes little sense to walk into a restaurant wearing a mask and then take it off once you sit down, but I think it was better than keeping restaurants closed or let people not wear masks at all and give them the impression the coast was clear. Oh no! the government is asking me to do something that may save my life, or that of someone I know, TYRANTS!! I thought Bill hated whining...still going to watch him, though :)
@@deeznutz8320 you can thank anti-vaxxers and people who would not cover their damned mouth for that. At the time shutdowns took effect the mortality rate was about 1%, hospitals were overwhelmed, and the virus was spreading at an alarming rate. It is very unfortunate that many businesses did not survive the shutdown, can't argue with that.
Am I the only one noticing that Bill's having more trouble booking the A list guests lately? He's had an awful lot of pundit types, the kind they'll call on if someone cancels.
As a parent of two school age kids, I think I've gotta call shenanigans on Mary Katharine Ham on blaming Biden for the schools being closed during the height of Covid. By the time Biden took office, my kids were back to in-school learning, full time. If Democratic women voters are blaming him for that, they've forgotten how the pandemic went down.
I guess I missed the part where the guests showed their credentials as doctors, health experts or even school experts. I guess when the next pandemic hits, instead of looking to the health experts we should just call these panelists since they seem to know all the answers. Talk about self-absorbed. Hated today's show.
I did not hate the show...but it was a lame panel for sure!...and Bill's strange declaration about wishing he could have more all-female panels, was just a sop to feminists, I guess?
It was the worst show!!! They’re not médica experts not even close. And had that know it all attitude. And that notion that were all deliberately lied to and children will be up in arms about this years from now… give me a break
Katharine Hamm referenced Orange Man Bad, cringe to that. You can't say that Trump did enough good to justify his wrong and/or despicable behavior and decisions. It was a trainwreck under Trump day after day.
Trainwreck yes, but our overreactions to Trump were no less of a trainwreck filled with lies. We again have a trainwreck at the top, but our underreaction to it is awful telling of our hypocrisy, now isn't it?

Yes! As someone who expresses original liberal thinking, the reactions of today's leftists are to view me as a conservative. Foundational meaning of "liberal" includes tolerance, especially tolerance of speech of which one disagrees... but today's fake liberals are entirely intolerant. That sort of facism leads to a totalitarian country. Of course the right wingers are just as fascist and totalitarian. Most Americans hate both parties, neither of which are a true reflection of the vast majority of the American people. Libertarian principles combined with liberal compassion is what Americans want and need. Instead we have political parties both led by extremists trapped in their own echo chambers. Nuance is dead and misunderstanding is the norm.
They come in here every week with the intention of knocking BM regardless of what he says. They don't want young Americans following his train of thought, that would be bad for their causes and agendas. Bill speaks the truth when he says he 'has not changed, everything around me has' He is still the same Liberal-tarian that he's been for decades. He just refuses to play conformist games like the rest of weak-minded Hollywood.
I had to stop watching thia episode because I kept hearing the young lady, the podcast host, complaining about schools being closed because of how it affected her life. No mention to teachers risks, no mention to immunocomprised risk just how it made life hard for moms. It was a global pandemic everything was new, no body agreed on what to do, and everything was hard. Anxiety will be higher because of this. Kids did lose oarents and granrdparents everyone was trying to figure it out.
Morons are going to complain, remember that. They don’t understand, they just feel. That on top of being awful parents and have to deal with children because they don’t have a teacher to dump them over.
Bill, panic attacks are triggered by many different actions. I myself have to tell folks not to do do certain things but since I am a BHT I can recognize my triggers. Please watch Ted Lasso. They portray a panic attack in their last few episodes. Great information.
That was the adult equivalent of I know you are but what am I. The Trump admin wanted schools to reopen for the fall of 2020, however unions did nothing but squawk and piss and moan like the children they are charged with teaching. There were states that never shut down and they did just fine.
she is referring to party preference, not who happened to be president at the time. There are more people in the U.S. that decide things than the president.
Hey "Fris" (?????) 1.The question is about Biden, not Trump. 2.Trump wouldn't have kept them closed nearly as long or advocated for the sort of extreme masking policies that Biden has, which pissed parents off. 3.Trump inherited the FRONT END of covid, when things were still very much in flux, we had no vaccine, and far less data about infection rate, morbidity, etc. 4.Trump wouldn't have issued an executive order forcing mandates. 5.Love Trump or Hate Trump, Biden is a T-R-A-S-H President.
I'm finding it harder and harder to listen to this anti mask stuff from people I respect. I've been a teacher for 25 years. I got the flu once per year - twice per year since working in an elementary school - until 2020. I haven't had the flu since then, because everyone wears a mask here in Hawaii. During distance learning 20-21, we had 3 grade levels continuously at our school: preK, K and 6. This year, school is full of kids, some kids are better at masking than others, I always wear mine with kids, and I haven't been sick ONCE. And I'm not in a remote place, I'm in the big city. As for comments I read about kids at home last year, I think it was a huge sacrifice for parents, and I think some may have learned how hard it is to be a teacher. Others were just bitter. This year, it's so obvious kids missed out on socialization, on rule following practice, and academics. But they'll catch up, with encouragement and support.
I'm a one on one nurse in Hawaii schools and I say the same thing. Not only am I happy not to have had COVID despite caring for clients with COVID and being around those with COVID, I'll keep having no colds or flus and only have to deal with my migraines bringing me down. Lucky we live in Hawaii!!
I don't get your point? That's great that you didn't get the flu, but are you saying that we should all wear masks during flu season now? Because if you're fully vaccinated(which most teachers and students that have been masking are) the risk of getting seriously ill for covid is so low. It's no more harmful than the flu at this point, probably less. I was all for masking before the vaccine and when we still weren't sure how harmful the virus was to young people but now it's clear that masks are not doing much. I would say they're likely doing more harm than good. Kids need to be able to see each other to connect for healthy social and emotional development. It's only because the issue has become so politicized that so many on the left are utterly incapable of doing a rational cost benefit analysis of the situation.
If you get the flu every year, you probably have low vitamin d levels. How often do you go outside? sounds like you're in Hawaii. Go outside, and try zinc supplement, teachers everywhere have done so before the scam. -demic. Also, are you getting a flu shot? I got a secret for you...
Mary Katherine Ham has let school closings take over her life and she can't get over it....get over it. Bill, get over the whole mask thing, if 20 year old people want to wear them.,it's not hurting you at all except you're letting the idea of masking allow your anxiety level to go so high you need to keep talking about it on your show.
It's not just you. His guests fart and then roll up the windows. Too impressed with themselves. Stereotypical lib elite easily sliding into their caricatures.
Many children around the world suffer from war and worse and manage to continue with their lives. This episode was oozing with entitlement and privilege. 4 examples for Desantis banning math books and the guest paints a wide swath accusing all teachers and unions of being leftist. 1 sample and a very broad stroke. Bill obviously hasn't been laid in awhile for not to even challenge that obscene statement. Well, I hope he got lucky, cuz this episode sucked, (imo)
Really bad show tonight. Not interesting or relevant - we already know how he feels about masks. I love Odenkirk, but Bill barely let him talk. Bill has a pattern of going for the joke over listening to his guests. I love how he calls out liberals, but he’s starting wear thin for me. He claims that he allows different points, but it seems like his guests always agree with him. Part of me really likes him, the other part sees him as bitter, lonely, and lacking self awareness.
Bill could have gone into further discussion regarding the math book issue. There have been other proven examples as to why DeSantis is removing math books. It's because they mention foreign or domestic Black mathematicians and how they've contributed to defining formulas to resolve mathematical equations. This is also due to Social and Emotional Learning (SEL), which is a methodology that helps students of all ages to better comprehend their emotions, to feel those emotions fully, and demonstrate empathy for others. These learned behaviors are then used to help students make positive, responsible decisions; create frameworks to achieve their goals, and build positive relationships with others.
This is also being done because on of the publishers of approved books has major ties and support of DeSantis, so it's also being to help a person with close ties financially benefit.
Did I mention that the schools were closed for a year? Yeah, like 2 other times and probably a few more times am I correct? Just be more specific and stop summing everything up with such a rhetorical question and we might be able to take you more serious.

a country that financed its public schools through property taxes, barely pays its teachers $30k - teachers who are tired, overworked and increasingly quitting- and they all act like they care about students and children. 🤦♂️
Where do you live? Teachers in my state get far more than 30 grand a year, plus full benny's and a good pension. Some districts in my state 75 grand and up plus full benefits. You are either being dishonest or uninformed. The average per pupil spending in minority heavy districts cost about 22 thousand per student, 22 G's, more than wealthy districts. Stop with your bullshit.
I hate approval polls that do not have follow ups: So people who disapprove of Biden, would they vote for Trump? And what do they think his policies would be?

What's the hurry with Overtime here? Does he have someplace to go? You've got two great guests - let the discussion go on for 10 minutes or so, as in the past. There was plenty to discuss about Ukraine. And about the state of the Biden Presidency. And the coming mid-terms. And to talk about them in some depth. That's why you have folks like this on. We don't need extended time on Disney every week or how "the government" and the "experts" got it all wrong on Covid - they DIDN'T get it all wrong. Every week this gets brought up. Mary Katharine Ham should have been given some more actual political questions. Caitlin Flanagan is great on cultural issues. I don't get why this Overtime got cut so short.
He probably wanted to get high and talk to Bob
I agree on the covid thing. They DIDN'T get it all wrong. That's a republican talking point. Just like teaching CRT is a right talking point; CRT is NOT being taught anywhere but POST Graduate classes. And liberals are trying to make students gay.
BTW, that math problem highlights the bigotry of the right. If they don't like that being pointed out, stop being so openly bigoted.
Because everything of substance they could talk about would further humiliate the Democrat party and Joe Biden so they spent more time talking about Johnny Depp and Amber Heard because that's safe for the dnc

Sorry Bill.... As a teacher I can say that for many... the short time of eye opening reflection parents had during the pandemic as to how hard it is to be a teacher (and their kid's role in it) has long since disappeared. Thanks to the right we are being hammered once again with all kinds of crazy crap that many parents are just buying into... like we are trying to indoctrinate their precious babies. *sighs* There are MANY, MANY problems with education today... but teachers are NOT at the root of it. It's politicians pushing all kinds of crazy crap and TONS.... BILLIONS of TONS of testing mandates and other stupid mandates. CRT? Are you nuts? None of that is in our standards and we are crucified if we teaching anything not in the "standards". Teacher have no time and NO autonomy to teach any of that EVEN IF we wanted to do so... and we DO NOT.
Thank you!
And the people said: “Amen!”
And Social emotional learning (SEL) in math? It is a methodology that helps students of all ages to better comprehend their emotions, to feel those emotions fully, and demonstrate empathy for others. These learned behaviors are then used to help students make positive, responsible decisions; create frameworks to achieve their goals, and build positive relationships with others.
Bill could have exposed the truth about banning students about Black mathematicians, not intentionally using a graph displaying racism.
DeSantis has been proven to eliminate books because they mention Black mathematicians & how they developed formulas or contributed to the development of such.
DeSantis is going to use a publisher that he knows & financially supports DeSantis, allowing his friend to profit off of the restrictions.
Agreed. It’s the people running the education departments that are the problem. The teachers actually doing their jobs get too much disrespect.
I'm a teacher, too, and while there are many amazing and ethical teachers, I'm going to point out that a LOT of my fellow teachers pushed to keep the schools closed and whined all the way back because (in some cases) they loved working from their out-of-state vacation homes, etc. And they poo-pooed me when I suggested this was harming Blacks, Latinos, and socio-economically challenged students the most-which the data now shows was correct. All while at the same time pushing CRT out the wazoo at my school. Teaching is indeed hard (try being a non-leftist in a school in LA) but America's criticism is not thanks to the right. It's thanks to the parents themselves, who saw with their own eyes what's going on.
The mental health challenges faced by youth were around before COVID19. The pandemic just put this and many other challenges in full view.
And exacerbated them.
@@acook213 true. Many families exacerbated their issues, like violence at home and alcoholism. Pandemics kill in many different ways.

Corporate profits are also at a 50 year high.
If we don't expect companies to lower prices when things are booming (last year) why do we tolerate them raising prices to maintain record profits? How is it sustainable to expect endless growth in profits?
They're inflated just like their prices.
Unfortunately, greed is the answer to that. The little old pensioner must have his 8% interest. Then there are the corporate share holders ...
Not being talked about enough how corporations are clearly trying to make a point by gouging. Namely, they want wages back down or else they will help keep inflation high.
Either making a point or just cynically lashing out over the creation of a workers market.
Oh come on, high gas prices is a huge contributing factor here. Now, that also has a component of price gouging.
Oil companies have slowed production, originally in response to low demand from the pandemic...but now that demand is back up, they haven't responded with increased production... Conservatives make the excuse that this is due to horrible Leftist environmental policies; but that's proven to be mostly BS due to the fact that countries like Saudi Arabia have NO SUCH regulations and they are still slowing production.
It's just an excuse to keep prices high.
But.
"The average American’s wages have increased 11% to offset some of those price increases...Morgan Stanley economists expect consumer earnings will continue to rise, causing corporate profit margins to take a hit in 2022.
“Wage gains are not just due to the rapid recovery from the COVID-19 shock that may ease as the economy loses some steam,” Morgan Stanley economists Julian Richers and Ellen Zentner told Bloomberg. “Instead, higher wage growth in excess of productivity is likely to be the norm, not the exception, for some time as the labor share of corporate income normalizes.”"
I hope someone who works for Bill reads this. He really needs to have actual educators on his show. The guests do not know public education or the difficulties our schools face. Teachers and unions are not “leftists”. We fight for our students and we are not in charge of curriculum. We are in charge of taking the one size fits all curriculum and individualizing it for classrooms of 30+ kids, meeting them where they are after losing a year of learning. Public schools are not failing kids. Politicians who cut funding, politicize education, and drastic economic inequities are. I love Bill, but I do not like the attacks on public schools that will further our politicians’ goals (both on the left and right) of privatizing education and making money off of the educational disparity that they themselves are creating.
Get real. Unions are there for the benefit of the teachers and not the students. Unions used children as an excuse to not return to in person learning because of covid despite children being the least vulnerable. Unions are the reason that it is extremely difficult to get rid of an awful teacher. Unions and the billions they posses are the reason why they are able to lobby politicians to keep parents from getting money for their children's educations directly and then choosing where to send their children to school. Infinitely better to give the 12k or 13k per year per student to the parents and let them decide to send them to a private, religious, charter, etc and if there is money leftover save it toward a college fund. Public schools in California went from number 1 in our state to dead last. Just awful.
Well said, Michelle Graham.
You can speak for yourself, but you cannot speak for all educators. Teachers have been recorded and caught spewing their own political beliefs. Tell your coworkers to keep their woke BS to themselves and teach!!!
@@ZapataE What percentage of all the teacher do these politicised teachers make? Because if it is a small percentage, your argument is completelly pointless. You can't stop everyone in community this large. And it is bad when people judge a group counting thousands of individuals by the acts of a few.
So, please give me the proof that the percentage is high (say 10% and more) or keep your superficial bullshit opinions to yourself.
Who attacked public schools here? Wtf are you talking about?
Bill and panel, what is the REAL purpose of wearing masks? Before COVID and wearing masks by normal people everywhere, why did surgeons and nurses wear masks? Because it keeps their own personal germs inside the mask so they don't infect patients, especially in surgery. Why are there instructions/signs on coughing and sneezing that show you should do that in a tissue or your arm sleeve covering your mouth and nose? To trap as much of the germs from shooting into the air and others inhaling it. So what is the real purpose of wearing masks? Not to protect the mask wearer but others around them.
To prevent the spread of covid, stupid.
Covid goes thru masks like piss goes thru underwear. In other words, THEY DONT DO SHIT! Yes, masks help with other sicknesses but not covid. Studies have shown this for over a year. Find a current news source or dont bother posting your ignorant comments. BYEEEEE
It works both ways tho.
Yes. It was quite off-putting when I heard their views on mask wearing. MASKS F-ING WORK!
Masks have become a political signaling tool. It is sad really. At the start of the pandemic, some things went haywire that discombobulated the whole thing and we are still paying for it now.
1. We had a disease that was killing people where some people could spread it while being asymptomatic and nobody could know if they were in danger. This is basically a biblical demon metaphor. Nobody could know who was actually spreading the disease so we had to assume it could always be there lurking.
2. We didn't know if masks actually stopped spreading the disease in a population. We had a good idea it did based on germ theory, usage as PPE in occupational environments, and in SE Asia where they started using them after the SARS 2003 pandemic. But the only real study was done by like a history professor, years before Covid, who was just curious if masks actually slowed down germ spread. It was her study that was the one being sighted in the early part of the pandemic. She never imagined it to be something of that magnitude, a political tool to misinform people.
3. The CDC was literally under siege by a hostile administration, one that stripped their reporting duties and transferred it to the NHS so that the administration could control the messaging, again... in an election year. They knew the administration was lying to the public and only cared about winning re-election. The CDC lie about the improper use of masks was literally an attempt to try and protect the supply lines of our medical industry because if the pandemic wipes out your medical personnel then you're fucked. So implicitly they were saying masks are affective. The administration had made the decision that winning was more important than people's lives, and it's kind of against the medical Hippocratic oath to just let people die so the CDC did what they did. People forget you literally could not get masks anywhere at the start of the pandemic, as well as toilet paper or bleach.
4. This was a new "novel" virus. We didn't know how it spread (remember wiping down surfaces?) or how to treat it (hydroxychloroquine, remdesivir, ivermectin, vitamin C+Steroid injections) It was all trial and error as most fact-finding missions are, AND it was all being done in a moment of crisis under incompetent leadership. Every country around the world was trying to digure this out on the fly, that's how severe the situation was just two years ago. The President would literally come out in front of the press, or Twitter, and literally contradict any information about the pandemic, INCLUDING himself. It was fucking chaos. So blaming an underfunded and underappreciated institution like the CDC after most of the smoke has cleared is some front-runner bullshit in my opinion.
Can we get past the complaining about masks thing? And please bring back the old show format with a 3 person panel plus an extra celebrity plugging something at the end. This just seems like 2 people agreeing with Bill for forty minutes

Important point on gas prices is why no commenting on the fact gas companies have had record profits, refuse to increase supply even though there are thousands of unused permits to drill, which would reduce cost.. Drives me crazy lot of the media seems to not hold them accountable.
Because no matter what the situation is or the "real reason", the American public always thinks it's the president's fault for gas prices to go up...no one else's. And no matter who the president is or their party, but somehow when prices fall, the same people don't praise the president for it. Only when they go up. Nevermind that the president has extremely little to do with gas prices.
Business make decisions about pricing as a way to influence political outcomes. They know certain politicians are good for their interests (avoiding/reducing tax liability, legal shield against torts, favorable corporate autonomy over worker rights, limiting regulatory reach relating to climate change and environmental impact etc). They will drop gas prices and meat prices when THEIR guys are in office and raise those prices when the "OTHER" guys are in office. And the public will blame the guys in office and NOT see who is really pulling the strings!
When, excluding the non establishment Trump, have they ever held any powerful people accountable. The media is owned by the establishment powerful and protected by the managerial class. Take off your rose colored glasses. The democrats have now out raised and out spent the republicans in corporate money. Grow up.

I don't have kids and i'm not a teacher, but the experiences i have had over the years, interactions with parents and kids and seeing on the news what comes of it, for example what happens on social media, sure tell me that things are not getting any better.
I remember growing up in the 80s/90s, as a kid, you used to be 'scared' of the teens, because they were bigger and smarter and whatnot, but as i grew up, i saw that the bullying intensified among younger kids, they had more freedom, because the parents got milder and schools lost their much needed backup from these parents.
The search for viral moments brought the overall attentionspan down, sitting through class was too much to ask of the students, dumbing themselves down willingly.
Being "Learned" was not cool, being "Loud" was the cool thing.
The age of 'being afraid for someone older' had come down at the same rate that i was growing up, so by the time that i was a teen, i almost had to start looking out for younger kids with attitudes.
I think parents broke that teacher-student bond as well around the late 90s, by picking the side of the child too many times "how dare you suggest that my child is not perfect!".
And now they seek to repair it by getting involved again, despite not acknowledging the initial breaking point tha i just mentioned (probably because both the parent's involvements come from different sides of the political aisle).
And i'm mostly talking about my experiences here in the Netherlands, it is a Western issue, if not a global issue.

Count on Americans to talk about inflation as if it's just our problem. the entire world is at 40 year inflation highs while worldwide corporations are at 70-year profit highs. Of course 85% of Americans do not travel , while 70% of other countries citizens do travel. Americans know English only.not very well while 75% of foreigners speak two or three languages, including the immigrants the GOP hates so bad
Foreigners may speak English but from my experience they don't know how to listen. In English.

Caitlin Flanagan claims that teachers decide what textbooks are used. That is patently false. Teachers are lucky to even have access to textbooks at all, as we are all encouraged to design our own curriculum using online resources. Adhering to textbooks is considered lazy and will get us rated ineffective and fired. In my thirteen years of teaching in NYC, I have yet to encounter a class that relied on a textbook. I also have yet to encounter a teacher who had any say in what textbooks were purchased by a school. Ms. Flanagan also lays the blame for those ridiculous textbook examples (using measurements of liberal values to teach charts and graphs) at the feet of teachers when she says that teachers tend to be leftists. While I am a leftist, I am in the distinct minority as a public school teacher in NYC. The Trumpist wave is alive and well here, and it didn't fail to sweep up teachers in its wake.
As I mentioned earlier, these two guests are pretty far right and simply parrot right-wing nonsense!
@@arlineallen3616 they’re both democrats, left of center. Just not blue-haired marxists. Sorry bud.
People beat on teacher so much but frankly the curriculum is set by the school board which is often elected members. So basically, these parents GOT EXACTLY who and what they voted for and now are b*tching because their feeble minds are activated by RIGHT WING catfishing and political gaslighting!
She was referring to the union heads. Which are/were teachers
Classic Beane
Like how Caitlin Flanagan mentioned how 14 & 15 year olds who have suffered through the pandemic are now in their 20s.
Does she understand math?
14 + 2 = 16 ( 16 < 20 )
15 + 2 = 17 ( 17 < 20 )

I was thinking that too.
She’s a bitter old lady who isn’t half as smart as she thinks she is
No. She thinks math is racist. 😂
I had that exact thought too. I mean I know they're teaching new math, so to speak, in schools now but I didn't think that meant that kids in their mid teens aged at two or three times the actual rate per year.

@@billn2348 When one defends gender studies at any level their true colors come out. Maybe advanced basket weaving should be the next wave. Economics is briefly covered in high school, however judging by what you said very briefly covered. Yes, corporations are showing record profits, I didn't deny that. There are many factors involved, not just artificial raising prices. The idiocy of shutting down the economy may have led to this as well. You gave people nothing to do but money to spend, some in the case of unemployment, never had that much steady income. The government that many liberals love so much contributed far more to record profit for large corporations than they did. But you will never see the forest through the trees, and continue watching MSNBC types lie to you on a daily basis. I don't watch nightly news casts, you obviously still have the fairy tale notion that Fox is the only one to push their perspective. Really dumb.

New rules was right on about the GQP being against democracy.
Yes, if you're a complete moron who has no clue what an insurrection actually is, then you'd be correct. Not a single constitutional scholar agrees that January 6th was anything more than a riot by a bunch of individual idiots. It was NOT an insurrection. Bill is just sucking up to the left, attempting to make up for telling the truth about their insanity and damage to the country so much recently.
Wrong, GOP is mad that we have a corrupt media who will omit or highlight stories in order to push the Democrat narrative. Brainwashing as many people as possible to get the to vote and believe the way they want you to. Perfect example is the hunter Biden laptop. Too close to election, it's just Russian disinformation, nothing to see here.
I could have given 20 examples of Biden and Democrats spitting on Democracy and our Constitution. Maher is blinded by his hatred for Republicans. When he criticizes Democrats that's to HELP them beat Republicans.
Are you seeing only half the truth...therefore not actually the truth?

This lady’s only talking point is schools being closed 😆
The hurt and destruction is very hard to measure, especially when the students are from poor families or broken/abusive homes. We shut down schools and continued to panic and did a disservice to the students. All based on faulty science and narcissistic fear. I guess if you had that perspective school closing might pose a problem. But if your real concern was your own well being and not the kids you would think it was just fine an fucking dandy.
Right, couldn't have anything to do with the mandated eugenics experiment which was a complete failure, increased deaths from all causes across the board by like 40%, and was imposed on everyone on pain of become homeless or worse if you refuse. Also, he has an official government department labeling people who challenge his bullshit narratives with comments and posts on social media as "domestic terrorists." Yeah, I'm sure nobody cares about any of that, his approval is in the sewer because of schools🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
@@ericholdsworth6611 I’m a teacher and I can’t even tell you how many students were gravely ill and hospitalized along with their parents after we reopened.

@@jojohunt1412 The numbers prove you're not being honest. Kids have extremely low numbers according to every source available except MSNBC, the panic network. I have internet capability, maybe teach a class on research and critical thinking.
I never said schools closing wasn’t an important issue, but I also wonder how much of that anxiety kids have is actually from social media and nothing to do with schools being closed. I hated school, I would have gladly learned remotely.
I also think kids are a lot more resilient than people like to give them credit for.

Schools were closed by state Governors....
Red states opened up their schools in 2021
More than blue states
I remember "flatten the curve" was the modus operandi for the lock downs, which was to buy time for the vaccines to be rolled out.
I distinctly remember Trump railing against the vaccines, until he got sick with the bug.

Living in Orange County, Florida I have a 10 foot perspective of what DeSantis did to Disney. All of the costs such as fire, sanitation, and security will now fall to the counties that Disney resides. That means that in the tune of millions of dollars each year will be passed on to the tax payers in the form of higher property taxes. Way to go DeSantis, here is looking out for your. constituents.
Live in Celebration we already pay high property taxes Disney can pay their fair share majority agree with me.
Mark. Perhaps Desantis is not oblivious to the financial factor here. Perhaps there are things more precious than money. Do please consider the possibility that someone with a differing political perspective is not an idiot and maybe listen to their reasoning before you reject them. That is the only way to know if their position is faulty
@@lynncarter4964 I think it is a fair point though, even if i agree with DeSantis.
If this rift results in the average citizens' bill getting higher, it will be a cause for pause.
As every conflict nowadays seems to have the same result, the bill getting higher and higher, while never actually solving any of the issues.
@@lynncarter4964 his reasoning is prejudice. Desantis is a bigot who is targeting the lgbtq community before they are even adults. If you can make decisions based on prejudice you can certainly make them based on lack of intelligence. I think Mark is spot on.

Getting tired of Bill harping every segment and episode about masks, masks, masks. I’ll wear my mask personally, but pls just let people make their own choices. Start having real critical conversations again, your last guests Nancy and David were a breath of fresh air. Especially Nancy, who you clearly never agreed with. But isn’t that the fun of civil debate and the essence of real time.
Maher seems to think that ridiculing liberals for wearing masks stamps him as intellectually honest and free of political bias. All it really shows is that he hasn't bothered to read the studies on mask-wearing and coronavirus infection/transmission.
Nancy was an absolute moron who said she "only reads respectable" publications...an echo chamber is what she likes. Who said she gets to decide what is respectable or not?
Yeah! Why is he still harping on masks?? Enough already!
@@jojohunt1412 I think he is trying to remind everyone that the government will lie to you and to not automatically believe everything they tell you. The masks and vaccine lies have really hurt public confidence in government and health officials. If we forget it will happen again.

Breathe oxygen unobstructed please. Your brain will work better
This was a great episode. The Russian corporate name change bit was goat.
Loved the tuna can: In Crude Oil!
The woman who was upset because schools were closed was upset because she realized some truths: 1) her children were not as smart as she thought. They were whiny and needy. 2) she realized she wasn't as smart as she thought. Concepts were presented in a way she did not understand and she was feckless as a teacher.
Like many, parents learned that it takes a special person to be a teacher. It's very difficult to convey ideas such that another can learn. The egos of many were shattered when their child's attention span is no more than 30 seconds and they are too fragile to be left alone so she could have a zoom meeting. Take your hat off to teachers who make the impossible possible and they make it look easy.
100% this. Man, she really hates her kids.
No. Sorry. It was mostly due to not being able to go to work. Not everybody had to opportunity to work from home. Nobody seems to mention that aspect of the lockdowns. So if your kid was home you couldn’t go to work. It’s so easy to look at just the teaching side and be totally aloof to the other realities of a working home. You people are clueless.
And still many teachers realized the effort is underpaid and didn’t come back. Sad 😞
God bless you, your 💯% right
Kids needed to be in school sorry
Yes Bill, “chicken” is “25$”. All chicken. Big chicken. Little chicken. It’s all just “chicken”. 😆
A few laughs, but it's time to stop with the pandemic and mask bashing- neither Realtime or panelists ever get to the real issue: what we're gonna do next time and how we got where we are in the first place.
This crew needs to stay clear of public health. Btw what's so hard to understand about "amount of exposure" in restaurants? I accept some but don't want direct exposure to every virus dripping mouth breather walking by.
YALL STIL WARE MASKS
Bill highlights the problem every week that the nuts don't want to talk about. Weight and lack of exercise. You didn't see a lot of healthy people dying. Most had a lot of issues from being overweight, from eating like shit, and from never exercising. The US needs to live a little healthier.
Odenkirk, Russian product bit, and New Rules were great. But the points made by the panel were not well thought out. No drug or precaution measure is going to be 100% but that doesn't mean you shouldn't do it when this many deaths are happening. Even if the mask doesn't keep me from getting COVID it can lower the viral load and lead to a milder infection.
Remember when this show didn't spend 70% of the time whining about masks and covid? Good times.
Agree! They're arguing points about personal risk...yadda yadda yadda. Nothing about trying to keep the healthcare system (the best in the world) from being overrun, staffed and capable of treating people that need treatment. We missed it by a mile. It was just a month ago the national guard finally left the hospital I work at.
Agree!! It’s getting beyond tiresome the constant whining about masks and lockdowns. Enough already. Must we constantly relive it?
@@stupidass31 Masks are mostly ineffective, the false sense of security may have contributed to higher cases of covid.

Thank Jesus that was only 5 minutes.
I like Bill but he's so wrong about the effectivness of masks. Several studies (i.e. from the Max-Plack-Institute) show that FFP2-masks limit the risk of an infection significantly
Very few people wear them though.
Which variant?
How about he betrayed us when he came out authorative on vaccines, hospital workers, and government workers? He lost me with that one.
Yeah... but we have no right to tell other people how to feel. My daughter has always been anti drug of any kind. As a child she would endure a headache over taking a Tylenol. I am double vaxed. But we love each other and when she got Covid, she isolated and recovered without hospitalization. Each to.his own.
Weak show tonight. Talking about worker filing suit about unwanted birthday party. It is not symbolic of anything important, a waste of my time and declines the shows value.
💯 and by Friday, it was the 10th time I’d heard the story.
This was a hard episode to watch. I get it, the pandemic hurt your business and moms had to take care of their own children. Let's conveniently ignore the fact that most of the changes to quarantine, mask-wearing, etc. were made to get people to cooperate with health measures. Yes, it makes little sense to walk into a restaurant wearing a mask and then take it off once you sit down, but I think it was better than keeping restaurants closed or let people not wear masks at all and give them the impression the coast was clear. Oh no! the government is asking me to do something that may save my life, or that of someone I know, TYRANTS!! I thought Bill hated whining...still going to watch him, though :)
Saving my life by shutting down my business and destroying my wealth for a disease that has a 99.8% survival rate...
@@deeznutz8320 you can thank anti-vaxxers and people who would not cover their damned mouth for that.

I had to stop watching thia episode because I kept hearing the young lady, the podcast host, complaining about schools being closed because of how it affected her life. No mention to teachers risks, no mention to immunocomprised risk just how it made life hard for moms. It was a global pandemic everything was new, no body agreed on what to do, and everything was hard. Anxiety will be higher because of this. Kids did lose oarents and granrdparents everyone was trying to figure it out.
Morons are going to complain, remember that. They don’t understand, they just feel. That on top of being awful parents and have to deal with children because they don’t have a teacher to dump them over.

Hey, Ham, the schools were closed in 2020 when Trump was President, not Biden. Smh.
@Carsen Hooper Another classy guy on the internet
That was the adult equivalent of I know you are but what am I. The Trump admin wanted schools to reopen for the fall of 2020, however unions did nothing but squawk and piss and moan like the children they are charged with teaching. There were states that never shut down and they did just fine.
Who kept them closed
she is referring to party preference, not who happened to be president at the time. There are more people in the U.S. that decide things than the president.
Hey "Fris" (?????)
1.The question is about Biden, not Trump.
2.Trump wouldn't have kept them closed nearly as long or advocated for the sort of extreme masking policies that Biden has, which pissed parents off.
3.Trump inherited the FRONT END of covid, when things were still very much in flux, we had no vaccine, and far less data about infection rate, morbidity, etc.
4.Trump wouldn't have issued an executive order forcing mandates.

I got the flu once per year - twice per year since working in an elementary school - until 2020. I haven't had the flu since then, because everyone wears a mask here in Hawaii. During distance learning 20-21, we had 3 grade levels continuously at our school: preK, K and 6. This year, school is full of kids, some kids are better at masking than others, I always wear mine with kids, and I haven't been sick ONCE. And I'm not in a remote place, I'm in the big city.
As for comments I read about kids at home last year, I think it was a huge sacrifice for parents, and I think some may have learned how hard it is to be a teacher. Others were just bitter. This year, it's so obvious kids missed out on socialization, on rule following practice, and academics. But they'll catch up, with encouragement and support.
I'm a one on one nurse in Hawaii schools and I say the same thing. Not only am I happy not to have had COVID despite caring for clients with COVID and being around those with COVID, I'll keep having no colds or flus and only have to deal with my migraines bringing me down. Lucky we live in Hawaii!!
I don't get your point? That's great that you didn't get the flu, but are you saying that we should all wear masks during flu season now? Because if you're fully vaccinated(which most teachers and students that have been masking are) the risk of getting seriously ill for covid is so low. It's no more harmful than the flu at this point, probably less. I was all for masking before the vaccine and when we still weren't sure how harmful the virus was to young people but now it's clear that masks are not doing much. I would say they're likely doing more harm than good. Kids need to be able to see each other to connect for healthy social and emotional development. It's only because the issue has become so politicized that so many on the left are utterly incapable of doing a rational cost benefit analysis of the situation.
Same with my sister
If you get the flu every year, you probably have low vitamin d levels. How often do you go outside? sounds like you're in Hawaii. Go outside, and try zinc supplement, teachers everywhere have done so before the scam. -demic.
Also, are you getting a flu shot? I got a secret for you...
@@klm4446 your migraine is probably being caused by something covering your oxygen intake.....
Mary Katharine was always Bill O'Reilly's favorite female guest. Strike one !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mr. Bill Maher a national treasure. Thanks for your amazing work !!
Yes, and too many people think that SNL today is highly entertaining. What a low bar they have!!!
Mary Katherine Ham has let school closings take over her life and she can't get over it....get over it. Bill, get over the whole mask thing, if 20 year old people want to wear them.,it's not hurting you at all except you're letting the idea of masking allow your anxiety level to go so high you need to keep talking about it on your show.
Is it just me or is Bill Maher having more and more annoying people on his show
It's not just you. His guests fart and then roll up the windows. Too impressed with themselves. Stereotypical lib elite easily sliding into their caricatures.
It's you.
@@robertbentley3589 Competent people are less and less inclined to come on to talk about mask mandates and his shed's solar panels.
By "people", I think you meant women.
Nope. Not you. Wanted to slap both of them. And him cause he can’t stop whining about masks. Very annoying.
Putin is tough, Trump sees him as Putin who I think is a Coward (referring to Nam, and look at Putin's track record) that is the disturbing part!
Many children around the world suffer from war and worse and manage to continue with their lives.
This episode was oozing with entitlement and privilege. 4 examples for Desantis banning math books and the guest paints a wide swath accusing all teachers and unions of being leftist. 1 sample and a very broad stroke. Bill obviously hasn't been laid in awhile for not to even challenge that obscene statement. Well, I hope he got lucky, cuz this episode sucked, (imo)
His anti-masking is becoming insufferable as well! I am close to cancelling my HBO package due to programming and this show is no longer a must see.
so well stated - thank you!
@@MrScoop70 Agree! Keeping it for John Oliver.
liquor sales hit records for a reason
Really bad show tonight. Not interesting or relevant - we already know how he feels about masks.
I love Odenkirk, but Bill barely let him talk. Bill has a pattern of going for the joke over listening to his guests.
I love how he calls out liberals, but he’s starting wear thin for me. He claims that he allows different points, but it seems like his guests always agree with him.
Part of me really likes him, the other part sees him as bitter, lonely, and lacking self awareness.
It was a 3-digit IQ night. Sorry...
@@r.p.mcmurphy6623 how so?
@@r.p.mcmurphy6623 so it must’ve been confusing for you :)
@@r.p.mcmurphy6623 amazing analysis! Was it the mask segment or Depp’s poo that you consider high iq material?
@@a2pet 🤣😂😂
It's ridiculous to hear people are 'polling against Biden ' when you consider the alternative.
@Riya Mercado What in the world are you talking about?
Bill, about Disney in tonight's episode: "They fired me once, I have every reason to HATE them!"
Also Bill: Appears in Iron Man 3
😁 😄 😂 🤣
I love the CNN commentator 😒 sarcasm
Overtime! Welcome back Bill!
I like Mary Katherine ham❤😊
I'm with Bill here wtf do you have politics and racism in a math question???
Bill could have gone into further discussion regarding the math book issue.
There have been other proven examples as to why DeSantis is removing math books. It's because they mention foreign or domestic Black mathematicians and how they've contributed to defining formulas to resolve mathematical equations.
This is also due to Social and Emotional Learning (SEL), which is a methodology that helps students of all ages to better comprehend their emotions, to feel those emotions fully, and demonstrate empathy for others. These learned behaviors are then used to help students make positive, responsible decisions; create frameworks to achieve their goals, and build positive relationships with others.
To make it realistic.
This is also being done because on of the publishers of approved books has major ties and support of DeSantis, so it's also being to help a person with close ties financially benefit.
It was one example amongst thousands. Cherry picked so DecSantis could grant a huge contract to a conservative company to supply books
And that's why GOP will whip dems in November, because of the crazy liberal batshit
We want mooorrrrreeeee!!!!!
Did I mention that the schools were closed for a year? Yeah, like 2 other times and probably a few more times am I correct? Just be more specific and stop summing everything up with such a rhetorical question and we might be able to take you more serious.
She was awful
The amber Hurd bit was the best part. The trial is truly showing up everyone no matter what initial side u we’re on that amber Hurd was a real monster in that relationship
Bill needs to do whole shows on his last "New Rules." Conservatives want to end democracy.
Are you seeing only half the truth...therefore not actually the truth?
Conservatives do not want to end democracy more than the democratic party already HAS ended democracy.
DNC is as undemocratic as it gets!
Bernie was the leading candidate when he was UNDEMOCRATICLY hoodwinked and bamboozled by the "democratic" party👀
smh
I know it felt like he dropped a bomb, and then ended it abruptly. So, the Republican's are planning to end Democracy by the next election. Good Night Everybody!
Shut up
....maybe so- but I notice you failed to mention that Democrats want to start a fascist regime --- which is worse?
@@xaspirate8060 WTF are you talking about? You're projecting. It's a common trait in the delusional. Here's a quick test. Admit benedict donald's school and charity were shut down as frauds. That he is an adjudicated con man. If you can't, and I doubt if you can, you prove my point.
a country that financed its public schools through property taxes, barely pays its teachers $30k - teachers who are tired, overworked and increasingly quitting- and they all act like they care about students and children. 🤦♂️
Where do you live? Teachers in my state get far more than 30 grand a year, plus full benny's and a good pension. Some districts in my state 75 grand and up plus full benefits. You are either being dishonest or uninformed. The average per pupil spending in minority heavy districts cost about 22 thousand per student, 22 G's, more than wealthy districts. Stop with your bullshit.
Wow Bill....Pretty short on panel guests eh? No one want to go on your show? Jesus.
Same amount as every other show for the past year...pay attention
I hate approval polls that do not have follow ups: So people who disapprove of Biden, would they vote for Trump? And what do they think his policies would be?
I was hoping Bob Odenkirk would have stuck around for OT, but this was rather amusing anyway. Anyone old enough to remember him as Stevie Grant as Larry’s sleazy agent on The Larry Sander’s Show on HBO in the 1990’s. Hey now
I don't think he felt like getting into politics much. He's not very political.
Nice call. Forgot about that one. "HEY NOW" Hank Kingsley put that show into the A+ category.
Holy shit! Bill’s the only dude on the panel. 😳
More of this please! 😍
