LRF49 errr you ARE becoming poorer (the rtop 1% asside), and your world power is shrinking, if the chinese don't buy your bonds for an hour you re bankrupt.
IT ain't shrinking. It is at a stand still, since Obama is in office and is too timid to wield the power. Regardless, China will continue buying our bonds. If they don't, then China's economy would collapse because their economy is based on manufacturing goods for America. So if America goes bankrupt, so will China. Chinese politicians know this is true. In fact, read the Economist. That mag has said time and time again.
Sediq Bezhan Bullshit. Look up Bills old standups and routines. You will see that his stance on religion is nobodies but his own. I doubt a man like him with those smarts and wit needs writers for this kind of stuff. It's all just common sense, but he is one of the few who have the guts to say it out loud.
no hassle wow, really? there are many different kinds of people in many different countries. human's are unique people with our own thoughts, feelings, and experiences. disagreeing with a point of view does not make the other person bad or wrong or stupid. best example of not thinking alike: the US presidential election results. the common man voted for Clinton, while trump was handed the presidency by elected officials.
My question is really whether he is capable or not. I would take a capable crack smoker over incompetent square any day. If he is also not a capable person then well I hope Toronto get rid of him, even though it is really none of my business.
Neosaigo Yeah but anyone whose met an actual crack head would know they can't lead or do crap all, in fact the only thing they ever want is more crack and will do anything (and I mean anything to get it), not too mention the fact that he lied to the people about smoking the crack, until he couldn't lie anymore and then managed to lie again by saying he did crack because he is a heavy drinker, then says he is neither addicted to alcohol or crack, and still supports his laws of zero tolerance on drugs etc. And finally he now threatens to sue anyone who spoke/speaks out against him, the man is oblivious to reality, oblivious to hypocrisy and in my opinion is a pompous jack off, I wouldn't trust him to lead a parade without snorting some blow and blaming it hunger pains.
One day our generation is gonna rule the population, so we'll keep on waiting (waiting!) waiting on the world to change. Yes, that is John Mayer making a point.
Martin--the overall record is clear. You can point out little ups and downs along the way, but under Roosevelt's administration, the economy grew and recovered from the worst economic disaster ever. It's easy to be an armchair quarterback in the future, when you're not the one who has to deal with the mess. One thing Roosevelt did not have to contend with to the extent Obama has--a Republican opposition taking the position of absolute opposition and filibuster on everything. Thanks.
+Samuel Vasquez lol, I understand what you're getting at, but what you said is just false, wars are cause by many geo-political reasons and go back to the dawn of civilisation, and humans hardly have a monopoly on violence
+Samuel Vasquez ummm wars are fought with young boys, for old men. anon. i might have messed up that quote. sooooo humans aren't really at much fault.. it's the dumbass leaders who are mainly driven by really bad reasons to fight.. or to kick the ass of the bad leader who attacked someone else. basically. that's a very simplified version.
Mexico has to get it's act together and start taking care of their people. Invest in their citizens. As far as the Central Americans, Mexico should give them sanctuary. Their Catholic churches can take them in and care for them. Has anyone held Mexico and their government accountable for what has been happening to their people for decades? Why is it the U.S. problem to take care of illegal aliens? This is Mexico's problem to solve, not ours.
I don't agree with Bill on the whole Trayvon Martin/George Zimmerman ordeal. But he always points out the facts and pisses the GOP off on a regular basis.
Millions of millions otherwise known as Trillions on "defense". But be fair, there is a little for domestic spending. That's what pays for most of the sequester cuts.
Frankly our military should be coming back and defending our borders instead of playing wargames at a base in Georgia. But we need to bring the 12 million here into our tax roles now.
Don't forget the millions of mortgage loans to a certain minority forced by law, that were way too high for their low incomes and lower inclination to pay
First of all, NY and CA have great wealth disparity because of issues such as the price of real estate in Manhattan, and the high quality of life in coastal cities attracts the wealthy. It has nothing to do with liberal vs. conservative politics. Believe it or not, not everything is a function of politics.
According to the DHS, 11.5 million undocumented... But the DHS "might" had advantages to downplay the number. The higher figure used by the government is about 18 million. On 300 million plus, and given the state of your bureaucracy, that's not a big deal.
Here's a thought for everybody to ponder. Maher's point about us about to be "war free" is an interesting one but when have we ever been without a war regardless of which political affiliation was in control. Perhaps it's possible this "border surge" has deeper implications. 20,000 more government enforcers... the NSA delving deeper into EVERYBODY'S business... Maybe the fence is not to keep them out but to keep us in. Extrapolate and consider.
Or that the federal government concentrates the subsidized housing in certain neighborhoods to create enclaves of dependency and voting blocs, forcing the middle class to leave the big cities for the suburbs when the quality of the neighborhoods deteriorates? And yes, politics has to do with all of this. If the Sun Belt is only growing because of the weather, then why is this the first census in which Kalifornia didn't gain any congressional seats on account of population stagnation? The taxes..
Yes, bill, all good, so, when does holywood have some more top billed mexican movie actors and directers? AND producers? allah knows we'd like to see some films made by new owners(stock holders) of hollywood.
To be clear, people who are very xenophobic don't live near the Canadian or the Mexican Border. As someone who lived near the Canadian Border and lives near the Mexican Border, I don't understand why people who never have visited either nation are quick to make judgment about people they will never meet. Xenophobia is a result of fear of the unknown. And yes, this immigration bill is a handout to the military industrial complex.
Switzerland may not be the best example for limited defense spending. They haven't been to war in 600 years and they stay out of international politics as much as possible but they are armed to the teeth and they have compulsory military service for all male citizens. Who then have to keep their weapons after their service just in case they need to form a guerrilla force in case of invasion. Not even Senator McCain would advocate for a similar program in the US.
Military Keynesianism is how our nation is run. Keynes was the econonomist behind Rosevelt's New Deal. He said that it is good for governments to inject money into the economy during bad times. Conservatives supposedly don't believe this. But it happens constantly, mostly via the military. The government gives huge amounts of money on the military and to defence contractors and etc. They go out and spend it, and that's how our economy stays afloat. It seems like we might consider using that money to build and maintain things here, instead of blowing stuff up (and sometimes rebuilding it) in other places. But that would make us tax and spend liberals, so---.
Noo York and Kalifornia are two of the states with the greatest wealth disparity in the country. Also, the US spends more money on education than ANY other country on earth. If greater education spending is the answer, then why don't we have the greatest schools on earth? Is it because it all ends up with the teachers unions and bureaucrats? Also, why hasn't the equality in Cuba and North Korea generated all that wealth?
The crowd almost seemed slow to catch some of this amazing rant. I wish politicians could really talk about that. And if you guys haven't noticed, fox news is on the GZ side, so if you are too you might wanna pop over to their channel. I think yall have more in common than you think.
That's why we keep "NASA" in the budget...After a fruitless search for intelligent life on Earth...we actually have a means for looking for it "out there"...
Bill Maher may have an arrogant and elitist attitude but he makes up for it by being so insightful and funny. I'm glad he calls out the hypocrisy of neocons pretending to hate big government. "Warge on Jorge" lol
Free mind is thinking for yourself. Plus the rich were the ones supportting Romney. When was the last time you knew a rich kid struggling to get an education?... It's very easy when you are middleclass and up to sit back, play quaterback and judge others!
Too bad it's known as the most intellectual show on television. Bill Maher has astro-physicists like Niel Degrasse Tyson, scientific writers like Richard Dawkins, politicians form the right and left, humanitarians, activists, and authors. Your side gets Joe the Plubmer
both parties are to blame for the wars and the financial problems. if you think this is just a republican problem then you really are just as foolish as they hoped.
Bill has been on fire lately. Spot on.
Is that a medical condition? Is it like chicken pox but with fire spots
Wow! That's hard-hitting. Well-said Bill.
You should run for president!
@@peacenow4913 no u
This was one of the best monologues.
Bill Maher for president in 2016!
pffft!! If Maher were to become president, we would no longer be a world power and America would become poorer.
LRF49
errr you ARE becoming poorer (the rtop 1% asside), and your world power is shrinking, if the chinese don't buy your bonds for an hour you re bankrupt.

Chinese politicians know this is true. In fact, read the Economist. That mag has said time and time again.
You know that he is not writing a word of what he is saying. It is a group of smart low-paid writers doing that and he is taking all the credit.
Sediq Bezhan Bullshit. Look up Bills old standups and routines. You will see that his stance on religion is nobodies but his own. I doubt a man like him with those smarts and wit needs writers for this kind of stuff. It's all just common sense, but he is one of the few who have the guts to say it out loud.
Well said Bill
That joke about 12 million Mexicans coming over in 3 cars is sooo true. I'm Mexican , so I cn say that :P
This was one of Bill's particularly insightful pieces. Well played Mr. Maher!
Everything Bill Maher said here is hilarious, but also the truth. America is so dumb!
Russia's brand. not like it ever was
no hassle wow, really? there are many different kinds of people in many different countries. human's are unique people with our own thoughts, feelings, and experiences. disagreeing with a point of view does not make the other person bad or wrong or stupid.
best example of not thinking alike: the US presidential election results. the common man voted for Clinton, while trump was handed the presidency by elected officials.
this proves the point . americans believe that presidents give a dam about its citizends but it is the exact opposite
Martijn, 50 % van alle leiders in de wereld geven sowieso geen fuck denk ik :l.
no hassle Hillary is the shoplifter and trump is the rapist, how is Hillary worst?
Eisenhower literally warned us about this!!!
I am so glad I am a Canadian.
have fun with your crack smoking mayor ZING!
thuzan117 Ouch! I deserve that. That guy is quite the embarrassment .
I don't live in Toronto & wouldn't have voted for him if I did, he's a moron.
My question is really whether he is capable or not.
I would take a capable crack smoker over incompetent square any day. If he is also not a capable person then well I hope Toronto get rid of him, even though it is really none of my business.
Neosaigo I like a pipe as much as the next man but I wouldn't trust anyone's judgement after a 5 day binge.....
Neosaigo Yeah but anyone whose met an actual crack head would know they can't lead or do crap all, in fact the only thing they ever want is more crack and will do anything (and I mean anything to get it), not too mention the fact that he lied to the people about smoking the crack, until he couldn't lie anymore and then managed to lie again by saying he did crack because he is a heavy drinker, then says he is neither addicted to alcohol or crack, and still supports his laws of zero tolerance on drugs etc. And finally he now threatens to sue anyone who spoke/speaks out against him, the man is oblivious to reality, oblivious to hypocrisy and in my opinion is a pompous jack off, I wouldn't trust him to lead a parade without snorting some blow and blaming it hunger pains.
I love it when Cornel West is on the desk. He’s a funny dude.
bill maher for president !!!
Tell it like it is, Bill!!!
Way to go Bill! Just like the Senator, you interviewed on Religulous, you don't have to have a high I.Q. to run for office!
- Thanx Bill ... !
Irish relatives hahaha. That bit got me.
"...as Sarah Palin had to do with mapping the human genome."
cant stop laughing...
I alqays appreciate Bill's explanations
Eugene Debs, Joe Hill, John Reed, Paul Robeson and now Bill Maher my favourite Americans
So true. This episode is still relevant to this day.
Always love it when Cornel West is on. He's the man.
Bill has the pulse on the Republican Party!
I'm Mexican, and I find this hilarious.
Tell em Bill!! We're in a perpetual state of war, and the funny part is we're going to die for people we hate and don't want here!! Hahahahahahahaa
Wonderful source.
mr maher telling it straight.
You rock!
Bravo bill
One day our generation is gonna rule the population, so we'll keep on waiting (waiting!) waiting on the world to change.
Yes, that is John Mayer making a point.
Oh my goodness, I so agree.
Damn that was one of the greatest rants of all times
I love you Bob really I love you
Nailed it
A war to end all wars? Doesn't that mean whoever is victorious will be left with a bunch of weapons and wondering who they can fire them at?
"The war hay on Jorge !" ROFLOL !!!!!
Martin--the overall record is clear. You can point out little ups and downs along the way, but under Roosevelt's administration, the economy grew and recovered from the worst economic disaster ever.

I am inlove with Bill Maher
Autumn Summers same. I really want to meet him just to talk. not about politics, just regular things
War the action of low man:Low in morality , low in humanity and low in all good values
lol someone is mad cant handle the truth
+Samuel Vasquez lol, I understand what you're getting at, but what you said is just false, wars are cause by many geo-political reasons and go back to the dawn of civilisation, and humans hardly have a monopoly on violence
+Samuel Vasquez ummm wars are fought with young boys, for old men. anon.
i might have messed up that quote. sooooo humans aren't really at much fault.. it's the dumbass leaders who are mainly driven by really bad reasons to fight.. or to kick the ass of the bad leader who attacked someone else. basically. that's a very simplified version.
You're so enlightened. *face-palm*
Mr. Bill Maher no home. Noooooo, noooooo...I stay.
very true
Always about the military and money.
He gets through to more people this way.
I'm not that ambitious, but it's a good start!
Very true bill !! I mean what would America become if it wasn't at war ?!
Except for protecting our borders is actually important.
It's not difficult to disagree with them, it's just difficult to get any semblance of reality through their thick skulls.
I enjoy cornell west laughing at bills stuff.
No. Theyd scream that 10 billions arent enough. You are right about the first part though.
The War- hey on Jorge!
Mexico has to get it's act together and start taking care of their people. Invest in their citizens. As far as the Central Americans, Mexico should give them sanctuary. Their Catholic churches can take them in and care for them. Has anyone held Mexico and their government accountable for what has been happening to their people for decades?

I don't agree with Bill on the whole Trayvon Martin/George Zimmerman ordeal. But he always points out the facts and pisses the GOP off on a regular basis.
It is hard to disagree with people when they believe they are cloaked in righteousness.
"A surge of blood to the penises of defense contractors" LMFAO!
bill run for gov of cali pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease!
No harm...no foul...no shit!
I hate that wall
Millions of millions otherwise known as Trillions on "defense".
But be fair, there is a little for domestic spending. That's what pays for most of the sequester cuts.
Frankly our military should be coming back and defending our borders instead of playing wargames at a base in Georgia. But we need to bring the 12 million here into our tax roles now.
The Pentagon----world's largest patriotic leech.
Bill taking the GOP to school with FACTS once again lol
thanks for the invitation, but i'll have to ride out the apocalypse here.
I'm not sure Sarah Palin even has a human genome.
Maybe algae
you drop it:P
Fast forward five years ... this video could be five minutes old, and it’s current commentary.
MAHER 2020
Ah, another fan of the Big Bang theory. I agree completely lol.
It is harder when they think they talk to righteousness himself.
Common sense, logic, is something that americans badly need now more than ever.
Hey Bill - got any suits that aren't gray?
I was thinking the same thing!
Don't forget the millions of mortgage loans to a certain minority forced by law, that were way too high for their low incomes and lower inclination to pay
Oh, fractions of a percentage can be a huge difference.
BUT the differences within the "races" is bigger than between them.
First of all, NY and CA have great wealth disparity because of issues such as the price of real estate in Manhattan, and the high quality of life in coastal cities attracts the wealthy. It has nothing to do with liberal vs. conservative politics. Believe it or not, not everything is a function of politics.
You forgot to mention if it was a necessary War bill. I would say if we're being invaded you're right it is a war and we need to defend our border
Why isn't Bill Maher a politician?!?!
According to the DHS, 11.5 million undocumented... But the DHS "might" had advantages to downplay the number.
The higher figure used by the government is about 18 million. On 300 million plus, and given the state of your bureaucracy, that's not a big deal.

Maybe the fence is not to keep them out but to keep us in. Extrapolate and consider.
But there's no war on poverty. Ever. ;)
Would that be American democracy? On behalf of all non-USA people I say: no, thank you.
Or that the federal government concentrates the subsidized housing in certain neighborhoods to create enclaves of dependency and voting blocs, forcing the middle class to leave the big cities for the suburbs when the quality of the neighborhoods deteriorates?

I don't know about percentage but there are definitely more than 12 million people. I'd say about 22 million.

Free minds? Like the two thirds of non-HS graduates who voted for BO last year, or the 51% of college graduates who went for Romney?
Look at the border between Haiti and the Dominican Republic
Noo York and Kalifornia are two of the states with the greatest wealth disparity in the country. Also, the US spends more money on education than ANY other country on earth.

August 2021, Afghanistan… cough, cough
Conversation over. You obviously need to reboot.
both parties are to blame for the wars and the financial problems. if you think this is just a republican problem then you really are just as foolish as they hoped.
The recovery from the Great Depression was also slowed by the Federal Reserve and a Demagogic President.
His side doesn't even get a real person, they just make up a person and claim he knows the truth.
