Ozzy Osbourne has a rare gene that makes him far less likely to die from an overdose and it's suspected Keith has it too. The problem is it is also suspected to be linked to addiction in the first place. But it explains how Ozzy (And Keith), where able to survive drug dosages that killed their compatriots.
Bill hits the nail on the head as usual. I remember years ago seeing a reporter for CBS News talking to residents of Juneau, Alaska when they were seeing mosquitoes in the summer for the first time.
Jebus Hypocristos Kevin Winne is actually right on this one! Bill Maher is an anti-vaxxer, and vaccines is a public health matter! But hey, since the POTUS isn't a huge fan of the current vaccine programs, there might be something there where Bill Maher and the Orange buffoon can find common ground...
This was a great bit. Most I've laughed at a Maher segment in a long time. Usually , just nodding and agreeing with him- but this one struck a chord... great stuff!
Human Bot Fly? That reminds of Trump in his tight white golfing shorts. Eww. In the other hand, Stephen Miller reminds me of Megamind or Uatu The Watcher - the voyeuristic pervert villain in Fantastic Four comics, or Egg Fu in Wonder Woman. He is so *dead inside* -shudders-
Trump supporter's "DUHHHH, he didn't mention Hillary, Obama, and dem Democrat's!" Forget it, any one of these Tick's will just keep going on, while the Trump crew goes "DUHHH, FAKE NEW'S!" It's more like Trump crew's "Fake Brain's!"
Let the record show that Pete Seeger died at age 94; he didn't make a big deal about his diet, but he sang protest songs and was a very busy political activist. (It helped that his father lived to be 101.) I'm not saying to ignore diet, but don't put it front and center on your altar; just be sensible at meals and be socially active!
"Like Stephen Miller they just make you want to squeeze their head until it pops." Hahaha! Not gonna lie, I do have that urge every time I see the guy's photo.
This is what I hate about how social media has transformed our attention in 10-odd years. The world's eye is on something for only as long as it can be emotionally affected, then it's drained, then it moves on to the next topic leaving dust behind it, money stops flowing there and people stay sick. We live on a regular diet of rage that's stopped our focus on one problem that takes years or decades to fix because a month of it was all our brains could handle before we needed new distractions. Since the news first made the rounds, I haven't heard of any politician or citizen who lives outside of Flint or PR and who made them their life's mission to stay on and influence people to work at.
Because the world's been conditioned to see singular focus as a waste of time. Every time someone puts forward something important, the whataboutists scream for attention. "Oh, there's a hole in the ozone layer! Well that's that great when Puerto Rico has no electricity and people are dying! No wait, Flint kids are still drinking lead! Hey, you forgot that black people are being harassed and shot by white cops! A woman was gang raped in India! MeToo! WHY AREN'T YOU PAYING ATTENTION TO *MY* ISSUE?! IT NEEDS YOUR MONEY AND SPEAKING UP TOO! YOU'RE A HYPOCRITE!" Those are all incredibly important issues, attention and resources are spread too thin to deal with them all at once, but that's what people want now. They get multiple issues hurled at them and think a little attention here, a little there has it solved. But it's all just band-aids. Fewer people want to become champions of singular issues because they're afraid it makes them look negligent to others. Fix the ozone and you allow women to suffer. Volunteer in Puerto Rico and another Flint kid gets poisoned. Speak up for black victims of cops and you're enabling rapists in India. You could've helped them, but you chose not to. Everything is treated as apples when it's not just apples and oranges but an entire basket of fruit. It's ridiculous how social media has destroyed our praise for people who spend years on issues that really do take years.
Andika Tan Your comment makes absolutely no sense. Are you aware of the spectrum of science therefore scientists. In that case Lawyers are way too busy with their case loads to dedicate their time to the government as well as all the CEOs. As a scientist if you go into politics you will have ample time to serve if only the system will let them in. The problem is the system is not allowing diversity into this system we need more educators as well. There are plenty of teachers/professors, scientists, Doctors, Engineers etc who would love to serve the people of our great nation. Our legislative branch needs diversification now!
@@GoddessLuna9 I am one myself, so I am quite aware of that spectrum; that having been said, yes, there may quite well be very high-up scientists who have time to govern in addition to their own research, but... my point is that average (driven) academic scientists - the ones who are most up-to-date on their topic - tend to work almost around the clock.

Bill Maher is the only talk show host with real teeth. I love Colbert and Kimmel's shows. Kimmel is like a G-rated Colbert but he makes Colbert look like Kimmel.
Well, you have consider the networks they are on. I sometimes get the sense that Colbert wished he was less restricted on CBS and could attack with more bite.
brainflash1 Hijacking your thread. Everyone should vote Democrat this election. Democrats should Impeach Trump and Pence. The House Speaker would then become President. Then Impeach Neil Gorsuch and whomever Trump picks on July 6 for the Supreme Court. Erase Trump's legacy and restore sanity to America.
Whole plant foods are already low resource intensive compared to animal derived foods. We can definitely reverse damage by eating a more plant based diet. More resources like land and water are used to grow animal foods.
Luigi 24 Yeah, that's common sense, but people love their red meat. Baby steps, friend. (Also if any more yuppies judge me for hunting and fishing wild game, I'll shank em with a fish bone and ask em how ethically sourced their last meal was, cause at least my tasty fishy wasn't farmed.)
Nylak Otter And If they are a vegan or a vegetarian? Isnt famed fish better for the environment than killing wild fish? Ocean Fish will be depleted by 2048.
it is ironic that it was Richard Nixon who started the EPA. He might have been an unethical president, but he was actually pretty smart. Pruitt and trump are ruining the entire planet with their greedy policies. Smart never enters the equation.
Scientific American, a contraindication in terms! Both sad and true. As a scientist it pains me to the core, the level of ignorance currently being shown twd scientifically valid issues.
Kind of sad that growing population of morons who think planes are sky demons, the earth is flat and the disappearance of house pets is caused by Bigfoot Freemasons. And or blame the devil for hurricanes and or think they have special Jebus magic to destroy “godless” nations or stop hurricanes, so far the Scandinavian region is doing fine but the hurricane is still ripping their trailer park to pieces.
And the context just went over your head didn’t it Lisa? The trailer parks was referring to America, because the Yankees are so superstitious they think they are ustilizing magic spells to destroy godless nations which includes the Scandinavian nations. And so far the ones who don’t live in America aren’t being effected by their Jesus juju but when a slight tremor occurs in say the UK the hillbilly brigade thinks god is teaching them commies a lesson.
Can't fix Stupid. Many Americans literally have a grade-school level of understanding of how the world works. People do not like to feel dumb and are threatened by scientific knowledge they do not understand. In order to avoid feeling dumb, or appearing dumb in front of their family and peers, they never make the effort to improve their scientific literacy. It would be too painful for them to admit their ignorance and start from an appropriate level (grade-school), so they simply don't do it. Some egotistical assholes even deliberately undermine their children's education. Welcome to Dumbfuckistan.
@@crypto457 what the hell are you on! Man? Don’t mix all those drug together! You’re freaking head is going too explode! Bud!!!! Looney house? Quick get the Taser! And the straight jacket! Wow! Be careful with yourself!
Well considering he doesn’t even say how these people died, it’s hard to make a point about it but that’s all Bill was interested in here is using cheap rhetoric to make a point as was the author he quoted. I’ll tell you for one Person on the list, Pritikin who had cancer it probably would have taken him a lot sooner and certainly his heart would have taken him out long before if he hadn’t changed his diet. I’m sure Bill or his audience doesn’t know anything about this or about anyone else on that list.
What's hilarious about the mosquito analogy is that it really is just a few of them doing most of the damage. There's roughly 3,500 species of mosquito, but only about 200 feed on human blood. That's less than 10 percent.
Michael Gibb That, uh, makes the analogy more accurate if you support building a wall, yes. Let just a few of the wrong ones in, and they can do an incredible amount of damage. I'm rejecting this analogy. I like bats. And fish. Fish are tasty, and some fish eat mosquitoes and mosquito larvae, so I think they should stay.
Nylak Otter No it doesn't. Just as how you don't wipe out all mosquitoes because a handful of species transmit diseases, you don't build a wall to block the criminals from crossing the border.
You joke, but I work at an animal shelter and it has been a BAD summer for ticks already. I've had ehrlichiosis myself twice in my adult life, and the horrible fever, nausea and utter confusion is only slightly better than experiencing our current administration. If only we could treat the US with a heavy dose of antibiotics.
Nylak Otter To echo some of our wonderful upstanding right leaning politicians, I'm certain the second amendment could take care of our little trump problem. See? Sounds batshit insane when your political opponents say it, doesn't it, Republicans?

The Jim Fixx example is not fair at all: the man had a hereditary heart condition his male ancestors had died from in their thirties. If anything, living to be 52 was a huge achievement for him, and I believe running had more than a little something to do with it.
There are special tick tools for getting them off you, tick twisters. Get one, better than tweezers. Deer usually carry lots of ticks. Ticks are called Garrapatas in Spanish.
How about you don't get universal healthcare first and first fix the god damn environment? I wonder what good your universal healthcare will do against the effects of global warming...I do agree with you that healthcare is essential, but fucking get your priorities straight mate. You guys are polluting the planet for decades, contributing to 27% of total emissions since 1850 without considering any consequences, and continue to contribute 15% of all global emissions. So no, you don't get to have uni healthcare until you save the planet for the rest of us. Fight all you want for your healthcare, it won't do you no good when you don't have a planet to live anymore.
My daughter, an animal enthusiast, wanted to relocate a nest of Black Widows I stumbled across. I appreciate her animal compassion, but I had my husband use the strongest chemicals available by law to relocate them instead. Was I wrong?
The problem with all things related to caring for the environment is that they involve the ability to understand object permanence. And for too many people, especially on the political right, can't wrap their heads around something unless it affects them directly, immediately, now, and in a way that is easy to understand or already gels with their present belief systems. Anyone non-GOP has a far better chance at grasping this, but it's the GOP and the wealthy donor class that's in charge and will only make things ecologically worse for all of us. Think Hitler was bad? Stalin? Neither of them eagerly helped destroy an entire planet of human beings just so they could go from obscenely wealthy to obscenely wealthier.
I’m related to somebody who drank bacon grease for 20 years and got hit by a car. He still alive and kicking with the same leg that got hit. 89 years old.
Watching in early 2021. Was enjoying the whole thing, but the RBG part at the end hit home though. I really hate how that rushed replacement happened, even though the GOP in Congress blocked Obama for his entire last year from appointing a judge. At least Georgia delivered us.
The sad thing about this new rule poor, sweet RBG did have a long life, but could not last past this election year so as Bill predicted, Mitch McConnell once again got another SCJ through which will hurt us all in the long run! : \
No! I know this trick, Bill. To Remove Attached Ticks: you'll need a kitchen match. Strike it, extinguish and immediately while head is still hot, touch it to the tick. It will die and head of tick will more easily be removed. Then use the tweezers.
I’ve been living here in Detroit for over 41years. All of a sudden-flying ants crept thru my home by the window. I’ve raided three straight days a sea of dead no longer can fly-Ants. Like wow-is global warming really real? I’ve seen flying roaches. Never knew it was flying ants out here
That was probably a mating flight; was it just after a rain? Ant and termite colonies produce winged, fertile males and females that go out in massive nuptial flights (basically a mid-air bug orgy), and the females mate, rip their own wings off, and land to look for a place to start their new colony.

Flying ants aren't a species, they are the males of regular ants spreading their kind before dying.
Seeing this from outside th USA, gives me the feeling that America is at a critical time where its people have to raise and do what is right. Very much like the French Revolution or World War II, when the people had to fight for their right for a decent life. The fight is in spreding knowledege and sense through republican states where the problem begins. Complaining on social media will not get you anywhere. I see a lot of complaining but when was the last time Bill did a stand up in Mississipi? You see the point? Fox news is in the south everyday making people stupider. Greetings from Mexico. We love you guys and want to see you back o track again and above all living in harmony with nature. Build the wall no body cares.
Ouch, Bill is on fire!!! 🔥Keep going, love it!
Genius at work; thanks Bill Maher, staff, guests and support.
We still don't know what's keeping Keith Richards alive.
Though we do know that he can't be killed by conventional weapons.
Have you tried lasers?

Perfect. Absolutely perfect.
He left out Robert Atkins of the Atkins diet. Dead at 72.

To be fair to Atkins, he died due to complications from an accident that occurred on an icy pavement in NY.
Still a testament to "live well, exercise, die anyway."
72 is long enough. He missed out on the shitting your pants years.

There are special tick tools for getting them off you, tick twisters. Get one, better than tweezers. Deer usually carry lots of ticks. Ticks are called Garrapatas in Spanish.
Well said.
How about we get universal healthcare first?
that would require eliminating GOP from the Congress, Senate and the White House
"that would require eliminating GOP from the Congress, Senate and the White House"
Where do I sign up :)
Okay. Wanna tell us exactly how you plan to do that?
How about you don't get universal healthcare first and first fix the god damn environment? I wonder what good your universal healthcare will do against the effects of global warming...I do agree with you that healthcare is essential, but fucking get your priorities straight mate. You guys are polluting the planet for decades, contributing to 27% of total emissions since 1850 without considering any consequences, and continue to contribute 15% of all global emissions. So no, you don't get to have uni healthcare until you save the planet for the rest of us. Fight all you want for your healthcare, it won't do you no good when you don't have a planet to live anymore.
Pedro Ventura could say the same thing about immigration; "stop creating more wasteful first worlders until climate change is reversed"
Thank You Bill
There's a saying in my region that, loosely translated, goes: Better burst at seventy than shrivel away at ninety.
Genius, bill and his writers are golden.
My daughter, an animal enthusiast, wanted to relocate a nest of Black Widows I stumbled across. I appreciate her animal compassion, but I had my husband use the strongest chemicals available by law to relocate them instead. Was I wrong?
Lol that last bit is what my dad’s always talking about when he says his fit friends die young
Bill forgot about the worst mosquito borne illness, Eastern Equestrian Encephalitis (EEE). It'll kill you and your horse.
Really really good piece!!
Where's the monolog? 😩
Wow! Nicely put...to inform.
We have systemic environmental issues that can only be solved by collective action and government regulations ...
another great one Bill..
BILL MAHER 2020
F**k no. As 'liberal' as I am, it's time to stop with electing celebrities based on notoriety.
Maher fits into this category just as fine as the others he mentioned!
The problem with all things related to caring for the environment is that they involve the ability to understand object permanence. And for too many people, especially on the political right, can't wrap their heads around something unless it affects them directly, immediately, now, and in a way that is easy to understand or already gels with their present belief systems.
Anyone non-GOP has a far better chance at grasping this, but it's the GOP and the wealthy donor class that's in charge and will only make things ecologically worse for all of us.
Think Hitler was bad? Stalin?
Neither of them eagerly helped destroy an entire planet of human beings just so they could go from obscenely wealthy to obscenely wealthier.

So, the immigrants can just cover their faces to avoid them?
+Geoff Baumgartner
No, then they look Arab
I love you Bill !!
Scientific American - LOL
It's a fetish magazine; a "niche" market, if you will.
@@zeusnitch I used to own that copy. Fetish indeed, the hottest aphrodisiac is your brain.
This was so funny I'm still chuckeling...genius, sheer genius.
New rule: Never take health advice from anyone who dies young. I knew a guy who ate red meat and drank beer his whole life and lived over a hundred!
I’m related to somebody who drank bacon grease for 20 years and got hit by a car. He still alive and kicking with the same leg that got hit. 89 years old.
Maher's one liners are the best part of the show.
Re health contrasts: don't forget Trumpy-- not exactly clean living, but he's still moving around quite well.
I. Wyrd, less "moving around, more "lumbering around"?
>quite well
>very probably in the early stages of dementia
Only one of these is correct
Bill maher sure knows how his job is done. Always get a good laugh out of his work.
Watching in early 2021. Was enjoying the whole thing, but the RBG part at the end hit home though. I really hate how that rushed replacement happened, even though the GOP in Congress blocked Obama for his entire last year from appointing a judge. At least Georgia delivered us.
One his best New Rules in a min.
RIP RBG
Spot On!
Notorious RBG, baby!🤘🤘
Your writers are brilliant.
The sad thing about this new rule poor, sweet RBG did have a long life, but could not last past this election year so as Bill predicted, Mitch McConnell once again got another SCJ through which will hurt us all in the long run! : \
Damn, Bill! Cold-blooded truth!
What happened to Rudy Giuliani❓Was sent back to the dungeon to play with Eric❓
GREAT DESCRIPTIONS!
My God. Preach.
2020: This didn't age well
2023: This REALLY didn't age well
Someone mentioned tweezers ? Zircon encrusted ?
I take it you might be moving to Montana soon?
No! I know this trick, Bill. To Remove Attached Ticks: you'll need a kitchen match. Strike it, extinguish and immediately while head is still hot, touch it to the tick. It will die and head of tick will more easily be removed. Then use the tweezers.
Drain the swamp...the ticks an spiders will go somewhere else
Best New Rule ever!
I screamed after finding a spider that spanned more than 3 inches in our garage today.
gigi stoner Only 3 inches? I seen spiders that is as big as a human palm, and there are bigger still out there.
Well a 3 inch fury spider I believe is rare where I'm from. I could't imagine one the size of my palm! lol
Last words: I'm F ing starving! Real funny stuff.
I’ve been living here in Detroit for over 41years. All of a sudden-flying ants crept thru my home by the window. I’ve raided three straight days a sea of dead no longer can fly-Ants. Like wow-is global warming really real? I’ve seen flying roaches. Never knew it was flying ants out here
That was probably a mating flight; was it just after a rain? Ant and termite colonies produce winged, fertile males and females that go out in massive nuptial flights (basically a mid-air bug orgy), and the females mate, rip their own wings off, and land to look for a place to start their new colony.
Flying ants aren't a species, they are the males of regular ants spreading their kind before dying.
Seeing this from outside th USA, gives me the feeling that America is at a critical time where its people have to raise and do what is right. Very much like the French Revolution or World War II, when the people had to fight for their right for a decent life. The fight is in spreding knowledege and sense through republican states where the problem begins. Complaining on social media will not get you anywhere. I see a lot of complaining but when was the last time Bill did a stand up in Mississipi? You see the point? Fox news is in the south everyday making people stupider. Greetings from Mexico. We love you guys and want to see you back o track again and above all living in harmony with nature. Build the wall no body cares.
Brutal lol
watching your show is like being at work
Awesome.
Now just watch, some idiot will try to argue my reaction to this great clip. Like anyone could change the honest opinion of me.
yay for Darryl!
On point Bill Maher..
