James Carville | Club Random with Bill Maher

[@siddhartha-1-4-u]

he is one of the most dishonest scumbags around, he said teh conservatives want to get rid of the 14th amendment, this is a lie, the conventions of states wants a balenced budget amenment, rank choice voting, and term limits for congress and senate. giving congress a blank check is like putting a raging crack addict in charge of your money and investments.

Carville and his wife Mary Matlin are the best. Would love to see them both on Real Time

[@NairaRenault]

It's so ironic and tragically funny. Carville keeps claiming that the "right-wing" does not know what it is talking about, yet, he still doesn't know that Cicero was Roman, not Greek; neither he could spell out what was that he found so cool about Stalin.

Nothing less cool and more lame than bothering a celebrity. James Carville couldn't care less aboit you.

[@Jimyblues]

T right

[@dennisfahey2379]

Just pure gold here and the reason free form podcasts need to exist. Carville is unfiltered and no spin. Refreshing to hear the details and machinations of in the trenches politics. When you remove the embellishments of spin, propaganda, posturing you can see a path to compromise and consensus. It really makes you wonder how many Congress people would vote for an agenda if they did not fear Party - not constituent - retribution.

I met this guy years ago at a gas station. I didn't realize it was him.I was on my way to work .I was pumping gas and this clean early 70s pickup pulled in.The driver started a conversation with me and we talked for quite a while.I drove away and suddenly realized that was James Carville.I'm not liberal or political at all but he he was a very cool person. .

[@miyojewoltsnasonth2159]

Great story, *@uncred.*

[@mikeincalifornia]

He's very unusual in that he's somewhat open-minded. His wife is Mary Matalin, who is very, very conservative. How they stayed married is beyond me. But she's much, much smarter than him. She was one of the very, very few in 2016 who realized that Trump was going to win. Here she is two months before the election saying that Trump had a "100 percent change" to win, no doubt in her mind at all. Her take is exactly on the money, maybe the best analysis of the 2016 election of them all. But she seems to have retired from commentary. kzbin.info/www/bejne/el6TgZdsqdx_fZo

I truly believe the democratic party is a party filled with racist. It's the party where an old white man can say "if you don't vote for me you ain't black" Biden.

[@wyattcole5452]

Seriously?? He said Whitmer is good, said, not implied, said all or at least most republicans don’t want presidents who break the law to be barred from being presidents (I see where his little knowledge on the subject can lead him to think this way) but also says they don’t want black people’s individual rights and doesn’t want their vote to count. I’m only 11 minutes into this, and having watched his Real Time it’s clear he gets his information from liberal media that also doesn’t know shit about the Republican Party or conservatives

[@carolhulse8465]

Loved this show with James Carville..miss his humor and insight. Just retired from a small Florida college ...everything that both of you discussed is right on. At 75...I have come to finally accept the fact that academia has turned into a big business rather than a place of true learning and critical thinking! Sad.

"Its the economy, stupid" - James Carville. all these years later its still the economy, stupid. its what will decide the next election.

[@patricktilton5377]

The MAGA Trump cult, though, will vote for him against their own economic interests, just to 'own the libs' -- and because the ultra-fundamentalist evangelical Christians out there in TV land believe the bullshit they're preached: that God chose Trump to be an 'anointed' king of America . . . that the election really WAS stolen by 'DemonRats' against God's Will, etc. Those crazy bastards never viewed Romney or McCain that way -- though there were certain zany vibes regarding 'W', as in the documentary "JESUS CAMP" in the immediate aftermath of 9/11, when for them it became a Holy War of Christian America against Islamist Terrorism, with their belief that God must have 'chosen' George W, Bush to 'win' the 2000 election, just so he'd be the one leading our righteous forces in the fight, rather than Gore. It wasn't the Economy that led to Trump's win in 2016. Under Obama/Biden, the economy recovered from the nosedive that Bush/Cheney left us with and steadily improved over the course of 8 years . . . but Republicans (and their Fox News propaganda wing) complained that the recovery under Obama wasn't good enough -- this after their last elected POTUS (W) had TANKED the economy! It wasn't the Economy that Trump's most rabid fanbase was concerned about; it was all the dog-whistling he did catering to their hatred of everything even slightly to the left of the Alt-Right. I only WISH the state of the Economy would guarantee victory, since America's doing just fine, especially compared to the rest of the world in the wake of the Covid crisis. Our only hope is that the majority of Americans who despise Trump will vote BLUE down the line, ensuring a Democrat is in the White House and, hopefully, that the Dems keep the Senate AND flip the House -- preferably with sizable majorities in both so that obstructionist shenanigans by DINOs like Manchin and Synema won't hamstring a sensible agenda. Maybe Boebert will be defeated in Colorado, too, after her 'sleeve-job' incident pisses off too many of the fed-up Republican base who just can't abide such hypocrisy. There's hope yet!

[@dranderson6071]

That theory failed Trump 2020. His economy was record setting

[@chrisolivo6591]

I used to buy that argument until the 2022 midterms. Biden and Democrats had to defend 8% inflation and $4 a gallon gas and the Republican tsunami never happened.

Good interview. Talking with Mr Carville is truly talking to history as a political insider. I appreciate that you’re an Independent and look honestly at each candidate. I learned that “woke” folks only make up a few Democrats as I had the [mis]conception that all Democrats are woke. To paraphrase Mr. Carville, all Democrats aren’t woke but all woke are Democrats. My fault with the Democratic elected officials is that they don’t publicly tell the woke that they are stupid (as you have done repeatedly); or, at best, they simply ignore it. Thank you for mentioning our education problems but I wish you had talked about the immigration crisis, the homeless/drug crisis, the crime crisis (at least in large cities).

[@machtnichtsseimann]

@@ryanstratton1925 - I've watched him on a cursory level back to "Politically Incorrect" and still am not convinced to go too hard in on him with the narcissist-egotistical label. Why? America doesn't do confident-AND-humble well. We can be guilty of hypocrisy when throwing stones at yet another "narcissist" ( Bill, Trump, etc. ) while we carry similar traits / patterns. Our society seems to either worship their celebrity idols and stick up for them at every turn OR envy their confidence and spine. I don't worship Bill, agree with him more often than strongly not, wish he were more humble in admitting when he's been way off, and enjoy his being himself, at least to the very little we truly know about him ( opinionated, assertive, not shying away from conflict, observant, humorous smart@ss ).

My favourite Trumpism is that hw admits that he uses the system to pay as little income tax as possible. At least Carville admitted that Democrats look down on working people. I grew up blue collar used the GI Bill to get a college degree and got a white collar job and became middle class. In the office, people would assume I grew up like them and would say the dumbest shit about people who worked blue collar jobs. They told me so much about themselves that was useful to me.

[@mikewhite4560]

I'm TIRED....😅

[@drownthepoor]

Why would anyone in their right mind want to pay more than the absolute minimum? Simply look at what is done with that money. It's used as a statement of income for the govt against which they are lent what amounts to virtually infinite cash, and even with all of that they're about to run out of money to pay themselves.. They don't enforce the southern border whatsoever, and that's on the list of basic jobs of the federal govt. It was revealed our money is being sent to Ukraine not just for weapons etc. but to keep small businesses afloat. Its send abroad under countless guises because that's how you maintain being the default currency. That and make sure oil can't be bought with anything else because that would tip you over real fast. See: Iraq & Libya.

You cannot be a good interviewer when you *always* think you are smarter than your guest. James Carville knows so much more about politics than Bill Maher - he actually lived it - he wasn't just some guy giving opinions. Bill needs to know when to defer to his guests when they actually are much more informed and intelligent, and less reactionary.
