Katie Couric | Club Random with Bill Maher

[@mztbass]

Ladies and gents, welcome to Club Random with Katie Couric. Today's guest: Bill Maher.

[@kathythompson9931]

On point! Ha!

[@AdamBechtol]

heh :p , yeah.

[@ryanchristiansen]

Totally... I was thinking the exact same thing... everytime she had a story to tell and I couldn't wait to hear it, Maher would just bulldoze on top of her and tell us about his thoughts on ... whatever. I really wish he could control himself. Lawrence Krauss, incidentally, does the same thing.

It would be unskillful to get it to his head - and impolite to his guest. Bill is way better than that.

Bill IS the conversation. he’s the reason we watch and he’s become an institution. He’s the guest, even to most of his guests.

[@mcfistro9372]

Talking about 'class resentment' from a total 'class smugness' is simply brilliant!!! 🤣🤣🤣

[@jazzy19001]

1:23.00 No Katie - anti-elitism is not based on jealousy - its based on fear and anger. Fear that everything is being taken from us. Our jobs, our faith, our liberty , our children, our way of life. Anger that it is being purposely done by corrupt, immoral, hypocritical people who for example want to travel in luxury in their gas powered private planes and limousines while at the same time limiting our freedom of movement and property rights because they are offended by our stench and uncouthness and prefer that we not inhabit their spaces. So no - the divide it not a function of our "jealousy" it is a function of your anti-human arrogance. "Let them eat cake" famous last words.

[@ferdinandalexander8053]

There are shitheads in every aspect of society. Define what elite means to you. There are successful people who have busted their ass to get where they are. Generally speaking, there are a lot of people who are miserable, and it has to be something or someone else's fault. It can't be the mentality of the one making the claims. It's not a function of jealousy and it's not anti-human arrogance. It's a total inability to take ownership of one's misery and failures. I'm not a Katie Couric fan but I will say there's a vast difference between arrogance and confidence combined with busting your ass. She had a great career, she worked for NBC, CNN, CBS, and ABC, had her own talk show, was a correspondent on 60 Minutes, wrote a New York Times best seller, and was inducted into the Television Hall of Fame. She went to public schools, was an intern in Washington D.C. at WAVA radio, went to the University of Virginia, was a Delta Delta Delta sorority sister. The list goes on and on. You’re right, what a lazy, arrogant loser!

He’s on 1 day a week, so it really doesn’t compare to other late night. The only show I can think that ACTUALLY compares is last week tonight and they waffle between 15 and 20.

Hey Bill, its the likability factor that gets people canceled. Once the public decides they dont like you, it doesnt matter if they've been exonerated. Showbiz is a privilege. The people decide what they want to spend their time & money on. Woody & Louis CK may have gotten a raw deal, but the only solution is to find some other way to get the public to like them again. Good luck with that. Although occasionally misguided, most people really enjoy not liking pedophiles or perverts. Most people dont enjoy being proven incorrect either, so the truth is sometimes besides the point. If they dont wanna like ya, they wont. ❤🎉😊

​@totallybored5526 do you not reference your genealogy ever? Different cultures have had different experiences blending into the American diaspora and it can largely shape your self image. Most Americans reference their families lineage. Most African Americans aren't privy to their ancestor's information due to the nameless existence of slavery but they are still referenced to as "African" Americans so Bill's Irish reference fit the norm.

@@SamathaNLouisiana Being Irish, I can tell you that we would consider him to be American, not Irish. The whole "Irish American, African American, Italian American etc" thing makes zero sense to the rest of the world. You're not African American, you're American. Not Irish American, you're American. That's not to say you shouldn't acknowledge or celebrate your heritage and ancestry but it should come with a recognition that America is a melting pot of different cultures, a soup of many many ingredients combined to create a distinct dish - American.

Katie's comments about "Trump voters" -- from the excerpts I've seen -- are a perfect example of what middle/rural Americans resent about elite liberals. We're not jealous or lacking in intellect. We resent the condescension and the dismissive attitudes that we are of lesser worth. We're not deplorable. Trump talks to us in a way that makes us feel like he understands the working man. I lived in Laurel Canyon for 13 years and later traveled the world in a global marketing department for a major corporation. I deliberately retired to a rural community in Arkansas because of the peace and quiet, the ability of have animals that can run and play in the fields...and because of the people -- real, unpretentious and generous of spirit. Yet people like Ms. Couric choose to treat us with blithe condescension and even call us stupid. Among the media and the D.C./Manhattan/Hollywood elite, Anti-Trump sentiment is suspiciously rabid and oddly scripted. True, the man is not particularly articulate and does have a crude, sometimes abrasive way of speaking; but such personalities are not unusual among top management in major corporations in the country. Many people relate to Trump because he sounds like their own bosses. He's familiar. He gets it. He understands how people live and the pressures of making ends meet. Conversely, the Biden administration focuses almost exclusively on staying in power. He wants to open the borders in hopes of bringing in millions of new democrat voters; yet he doesn't give a damn about the job implications for workers in rural areas with the abrupt surge of cheap labor...because we don't matter to him. The usual defense is that immigrants will take only jobs that Americans don't want. What...a...crock. Some of my democrat friends might get their nose bent out of joint for that, but that's not my intent here. The point is we're NOT jealous of Katie's glorious lifestyle amidst the glitterati. For some of us, such a lifestyle is just smarmy with competitive, posturing arrogance. It's one of the reasons why I left L.A. Too many people there were addicted to mirrors.

@@IAmThatLisa143She’s the definition of arrogance. If she understood the issues, she’d discuss them. But she never has. And she never does. Instead she resorts to name-calling. The question is: do you think she does this as an intentional tactic? Or is she that unaware of how she comes across? I really don’t know the answer to that one.

I love watching your podcast but on this one you really really cut Katie off and talked over her way too much so you missed some golden moments where she would have expanded on some very juicy topics but you kept overtaking the moment with “yeah right I know and like when…” instead of probing her further. She was also way too passive during this interview

Epic Conversation. Thank you both so very much. Such a great conversation. Truly wonderful to watch, and quite informative and educational in so many ways. A wonderful treat to observe a couple of masters at their craft. Thank you. Madame Couric, Ma’am, you look amazing!!♥️ Your upcoming Documentary this month sounds incredible and fascinating! I cannot wait to see it! My apologies, and this is just a thought… Would you two ever consider working on something together maybe ever on something? I see a working chemistry combined with both of your personalities, styles, and your brains.. something that educates, and brings Americans closer together. but just by being yourselves, together. Maybe I smoked too much weed… Sorry . K bye’ Love you both! Mr. Maher, you are looking healthier and better than ever. Your new regimen looks very good on you.
