In some ways, I think it’s a shame Leno never did a political show like Bill Maher does. You can tell he’s extremely well informed, and is very intelligent overall. I’d love to see this side of him more often.
"As an adolescent man he is freer to drive a car carefully rather than 'peel out' and display the 'horsepower' of his car-a vicarious display of his own power."" (Warren Farrell, 1971, New York Times) [Backlash:The Undeclared War on American Women, Susan Faludi, 1991, p. 302]
I like the way Laura spins a Police Chief quote saying ' It's taken 3 interviews to get the information we've gathered sofar' , as a lawyer. I don't know a lot about the specific case, but I assume close contacts are interviewed with fairly general questions while early into an investigation, which gets checked / corroborated, before a possible follow-on questioning or 2, as details emerge.
Watching these old shows reminded me how "Woke" Bill Maher used to be. More libertarian than conservative. More progressive than "recessive". Now he's talking to Megan Kelly, Steve Bannon and Ben Shapiro.... like wtf happenend?
Bill Maher's last comparason between smoking crack and Nascar is completely illogical and blows my mind. What the hell is he talking about?? Bill is just trying to soapboxing with no reasonable analogy.
No he makes a point actually. Drug policies of this country have failed, the 40 year war on drugs have been a waste. Due to the billions of dollars wasted, time, and amount of people imprisoned based off the laws. It has failed, we should make all drugs legal and take Portugal's model. Also cigarettes are worse than crack, so why should that be legal and crack and marijuana not. It doesn't stop people from using or selling illegal substances. But if fact creates a market for people to sell since it is illegal in the first place. There is revue that could be made through taxation on State and federal levels. It also just fills our prisons more and ruin lives of people who only tried to make money in a area of poverty. So where is the consensus of what should and shouldn't be legal, that right there is a problem with congress and our imprisonment system. But that's okay Progress is slow and it takes time.
The fact that someone should be allowed to do dangerous things. Nascar is dangerous, but its in a track. Its regulated so its safe, as street racing is illegal. Its illegal because your putting others lives at risk. So why can't crack be regulated for people to do in the privacy in there own home. There not hurting anyone except themselves. But its no much a comparison of Nascar and Crack. As in a status on both ends, like in this corner we have crack weighing in at! etc... Its the principals and the basis they represent, as a system and the implications of capitalism.
Rocco Ramos thank you rocco. You intellegently answered my questoin without rude comments, insults or vulgarity, something not often seen in online retorts. I appreciate it.
William H. Macy is David Caruso in standard definition
Bill & Laura on the same show?? I can't believe my eyes..good old day of USA :)..
Screw that. I don’t want to get along with republicans.
this makes me miss the days before twitter

Simpler times. I would watch Bill nearly every weeknight at midnight when I was a teenager. Always entertaining and (somewhat) better for my mind.
I love how unenthusiastically he plugged Laura’s book at the end after that last discussion lol
Funny to hear Laura Ingraham discount the fact that it was a victim culture then
And two months later buildings were blown up. A den of liars and lies!
Republicans are repugnant reactionaries with an uneducated voter base.
Just a couple months before it all got nuts.
Laura is so angry about trumps marriage these days she’s so consistent.....

I love how they purposely missed the point on how you can be dangerous one way which is legal but not another
because it was a valid point that cant be refuted by the tools on the panel
As much as I loved Bill's old show, I now remember the worst part of it: everybody talking over each other & Bill did nothing to stop....IJS
thats the best fucking part.
He was the one talking over every single guest.

“THEY’VE KEPT CHELSEA UNDER WRAPS”!?! This is this woman’s whole sad career.
Meanwhile Laura was going around sleeping with MARRIED MEN!!!
women do that kind of thing.
Laura and Bill chemistry heat

Fishing not dangerous. Drunk fishing is.
Macy and Mathis should have been on a different episode, one where they got to speak more.
It was almost touching to see Maher complement Ingraham yesterday on Real Time. Clearly he has some respect for him.
William H. Macy barely said a word
Frank is probably drunk off his ass.
Samantha Mathis never shuts up
Real Time is such a better show.
Yeah it is. You should try to watch some of the first seasons from 2003-2006, if you haven't; they were good.
"Crack track" lol
It is amazing how free celebs were back then to express a difficult position.
they're still free, they're just now trained to not create controversy at all.
Just noticed he what's to be Seinfeld
try again to make a complete thought.
Laura Iooked very lovely back then.
Back when Jay leno was young and funny.
Ingram actually right on Chelsea Clinton
Laura Ingram is awful
Why would you have Jay Leno on a show that is, even if only nominally, about thinking and analysis? Was this a bad joke?
bill platformed every single future fascist.
ohhh someones father cheated on their mother once boo hoo

granted. But what the HELL does that have to do with the comparison between drugs and Nascar??
