[@FreakyAli53061]

There has been no proof of Russian hacking.

[@shahidabegum4195]

Yes, there is.

[@sarnpalbal5521]

Alex Wick Literally every intelligence agency is saying they hacked us.

[@Peter_S_]

The people with security clearances say you're absolutely wrong and that includes John McCain and Lindsey Graham.

[@zagorakis88]

but they also admit that it had no effect on the election lol

[@bkrb17]

it doesn't matter who exposed the dnc and Hillarys emails...we should all be grateful to know truth

[@Revoloushun]

A very serious if not mysterious form of insanity . When an individual looses the natural ability to discern truth from deception.

[@TrueBagPipeRock]

True madness and insanity on display here. He belongs in a mental institution. That far from reality.

[@crimsonking8942]

Hey, Bill, why don't you talk about that corporate whore, sellout Sen. Booker? How about Schumer lying that it was the Republicans who killed the amendment to a bill when there was bipartisan support for it? 13 Democrats voted against the amendment proposed by Senators Klobuchar and Sanders to import drugs from Canada for reduced prices. The Democrats are rotten to the core.

[@Rationalific]

+Emmanuel Quantance: He did. He wrote, "there was bipartisan support for it." Now it's your turn to admit EVEN THE SLIGHTEST THING against anyone in your political party of choice instead of shilling for them at every turn. Even if you prefer them, that doesn't mean that you can't criticize them. If that's the way you think, then they will continue to run right over you as you smile because "at least they're better than the other party, and that's all I need".

[@donlyemanuel]

Rationalific No, he didn't. I don't like Booker neither do I want him to run for president, he's already bitching about it. But he voted against the law because it can be improve, bringing cheaper drugs from canada will only mean less jobs for americans and a bit cheaper drugs. And Im not seeing anyone talking about the millions republicans take from big pharma's, why is that? If it was Hillary the one appointing one of her most generous donor as secretary of education, republitards will be losing their shit, fox news will already be making an special "report" about it and hearings on the senate will already be underway

[@crimsonking8942]

Emmanuel Quaintance John McCain, Rand Paul, chuck Grassly, even Ted Cruz and some other Republicans voted in favor of the amendment. It turns out that Democrats are just as hypocritical and corrupt as Republicans. You are nothing but an apologist for failed Neoliberalism, which is part of why Trump won.

[@LongueTiedNoLunger]

Bingo! Nailed it. And don't forget Nancy Pelosi, another aristocratic Limo Liberal who refused to step aside and got the nod again to lead the Democrats on the Hill for further losses the next couple of years.

[@bensmith6601]

Exactly, this is where the focus should be, get over the russian crap, it's not going to win the next election or change the current situation.

[@Rhino1188]

Oh please. I'm no Trump fan but PLEASE stop with this hacking horseshit.

[@carlnoffz4454]

when there's no one to blame, blame Russia

[@Ryan-vq5ur]

4 years later : “those damn Trumpers just won’t respect the election results”

[@funkymonkey299]

I love Keith

[@funkymonkey299]

it only gets weirder from here...

[@Camroncooper]

Corbin Emslie yes, well, this is the internet, Corbin, and everyones allowed to speak they're mind openly, whether they be Liberal, Republican, or some other political belief. Besides, Brent was quite clearly making a joke, so there's no reason to make this section of comments go as foul as almost all the other comments on here.

[@adriennedrake779]

Corbin, you are so right.

[@adriennedrake779]

Corbin, you are so right

[@adriennedrake779]

Brent quite clearly was not making a joke.

[@pug_63]

Coming back to this after listening to today’s (1st November ‘22) episode of Keith’s Countdown podcast - things I promised not to tell. A definite must listen!

[@PhilRaso]

Me too.

[@Mediaright]

He didn’t know anyone at Cornell! ANYONE!!

[@jimmieleepatterson]

He's retelling this story again 4/11/23. I would love to watch the whole segment. This doesn't look as cantankerous as Keith made it out to be

[@wito6998]

I think Olberman needs to look in the mirror when he calls others fascist.

[@wr4393]

he is as legitimate as any other president

[@xXbudred123Xx]

Where is the actual evidence that Russia had any involvement?

[@charleslesky2932]

Watched this again and tell me KNOWING what we know NOW! If you think this is INSANE?

[@wito6998]

This demonstrates how out of touch Olberman was.😆. AND the NYT.

[@felixf5211]

Gotta love Keith. So happy that he's back on KZbin.

[@MrJohnybirchall]

Fuck Keith

[@MintyFreshTurds]

Or gotta hate that nutbag.

[@user-op9iv5eo2i]

Olbermann has always been the canary in the coal mine...he is usually right on!

[@Mastermined710]

lol, i tuned in for a comedy show and was not disappointed

[@drax325]

OMG , the level of denial. If Dems were not arrogant, and Hillary wasn't a landmine we wouldn't be in this position. Blame the Russian pff, how about you blame the media that kept mentioning Trump.

[@john2477]

YES! IT IS THAT SERIOUS!!!

[@srajguru87]

Keith Olbermann went off the deep end years ago.. dude is fucking nuts

[@elohelatyou6945]

Is this guy serious? The votes were not hacked or altered. It was the American People that voted. We decided who won, no one else. If anything the Russians provided the world with more information to which you could use to make an educated vote.

[@MemphiStig]

RESIST! Peace.

[@greglr19751]

Olbermann is speaking some major truth tonight.

[@Gobbersmack]

He's a fucking insane vlogger pandering to retards.

[@donlyemanuel]

Anthony Harvey Juts like Drumpf and he is president

[@janveidt2700]

Psychotic.

[@donlyemanuel]

Jayne Veidt Idiot

[@holmiumh]

Because GQ magazine is an excellent source for political advice.....

[@josswoman4191]

Wow. How thick. The magazine isn't speaking, Einstein. And Olbermann happens to be well-versed, highly educated, and quite articulate.... unlike your Orange Jesus.

[@triplehelix247]

Keith is deluded

[@TheDibbley]

so when Obama went over to England and tried too stop the vote too leave the EU ..that's ok?

[@michaelantonio]

We were invaded by common sense, Olbermoron!

[@JollyJoel]

wtf? I'm paying money for HBO subscription but doesn't have this episode yet but half of it will be free on youtube?

[@funkymonkey299]

Jolly Joel actually it's very hard to find full episodes...this is bills official youtube, he only posts sound bites...or clips no longer than a few minutes

[@funkymonkey299]

Jolly Joel I'd call that a lucky day for you

[@billthecat3688]

Still not tired of WINNING. #MAGA

[@hebber1961]

Maher's show is horrible. Especially when it's all crazy lefties sitting around making lame jokes and pandering for the audience approval. Do these people know how childish they look? But it was funny when Maher had a New Rules rant saying Hillary needed to be "badass". That was a joke.

[@soyborne.bornmadeandundone1342]

"horrible"? Really kid... You haven't seen horrible. It's called Alex Jones. A show about a big baby who thinks aliens run the country and he gets mad at people who are sane lol.

[@hebber1961]

ABOVE YOUR PAY GRADE Really? Ha ha ...Really indeed. Your response is completely irrelevant to what I said. Alex Jones has nothing to do with Maher's show getting worse and worse. Maybe you should retort something referring to the Kennedy assassination or whatever, in keeping with your theme of irrelevant responses.

[@spaceman392001]

Sad times for the neo-McCarthyites

[@fuckamericanidiot]

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@TyrSkyFatherOfTheGods]

Wow, the Moldavian bot farm is all hands on deck tonight.

[@Stibsart]

I can never tell whether their inability to write in English is because they're Russians or just because they're thick.

[@asswipe71]

Has Olbermann been fired again yet?

[@theonetruephobia]

Gotta love lefty Alex Jones.

[@stewart0312]

Lets Make America, NOT FAKE NEWS AGAIN!

[@never42ever]

This does seem a little extreme, although Maher isn't making the statement. He doesn't disagree with it, but isn't taking this extreme black and white view. Everything which occurs does so out of variance. Russians might explain a minor part of the variance which represents factors that got Donald into the white house, but certainly doesn't completely explain the phenomenon. It is a small discredit to perform those same methods of speaking that we condemn the other side for possessing. The electoral college issue where part of the explanation exists, as is a significant portion of American's feeling their needs were ignored by a status quo government.

[@THESTRIDER8282]

Way to go Bill!! Way to start the season and year off right by having the progressive Alex Jones on. I wonder if GQ and KO are going to start consistently offering water filters and supplements for %40 off in there online magazine

[@GeorgeBenedict]

"the point of war, other than to gain territory, is to put the guy you want in charge of somebody else's country" I've got to frame that. That's priceless.

[@Cadmus9501]

Interesting point, a goverment placing a candidate into power that is friendly to them, I wonder who has done this before?

[@htboston]

Why is Olbermann, a sports talker, talking about complicated political problems?

[@koffge]

I feel like watching InfoWars with Alex Jones

[@NightDragon2383]

It's a shame Keith didn't fall and snap his neck when he tripped on the steps of the new set.

[@CptColCool]

Actually it was the Boogeyman - not the Russians.

[@jenm1336]

I want to buy his book to see is argument, but I don't want to financially support him.

[@nathanscovell2895]

I love how these guys talk as if they know something. As if they've worked hard and as if they're in some ways funny.

[@Noland55]

I must have missed something, but what are they talking about? " John Lewis:

[@jensen1901]

Conservatives have to pay commenters to comment here. Sad!

[@Danny02585]

Wasn't China and other countries telling us that we can't have Trump? Does that count as interfering?

[@smricha1]

republicans, get out of bil maher's comment section.

[@markm1160]

Oh Keith...you just keep going further down your rabbit hole

[@mnbr6884]

You voted for him. own it.

[@lilmsgs]

Olbermann, beating the drums of fake conspiracy theory.

[@Poloprodemocracy]

If you care about our country share this alot!

[@LAIDBACKMANNER]

We need to push to make voting for president and congress a yearly thing.

[@alexanderfleming7162]

We need to down your dosage a bit, 10mg had a much better result on your ability to operate common logic.

[@Rakinjo2]

Given the amount of time it can take to push something through, and the bureaucratic nature of modern politics, switching presidents and governments every year would mean that literally nothing would ever get done. Worse still, whenever something *did* go through, the new administration would take it all apart a year later. All progress would come to a grinding halt, and there would never be any proper leadership.

[@thezeitgeist3997]

How anyone can applaud this lunacy is beyond me.

[@chebrolsantosh]

well now you people get what it feels to put some other as your leader finally after you did to so many countries

[@calebkendall]

Dang, Keith Obermann has really become disgraced. He went from ESPN, to MSNBC, now to GQ? Very unlikable guy.

[@tylerlaster3300]

Lol how is this video online when you can't even mention the last election?

[@raulaguilar421]

I don't like Trump, but these people are crazy!

[@yocampout]

I am so tired of the dems blaming everybody else. "yeah, we weren't hitting the right talking points, but....." "yeah, we didn't get enough people on the ground to get people to the polls, but...." etc. etc. etc. he won. now let's focus on how to fix the democratic party's message and interaction with the citizens. I may not like it either, but it's time for serious self reflection.

[@mark1952able]

Bill and Keith.........two of my favorite Americans

[@hookalakah]

Poor Keith Olbermann--forever the social justice warrior, forever the outraged narcissist, forever the impotent crusader, forever the crackpot whose mental voices urge him ever deeper into madness. "GQ Special Correspondent"--what a sick joke.

[@pacers714]

The dems getting behind Clinton and pushing a dead horse had something to do with Trumps victory.

[@rome368]

The twilight zone, let's get out of it. Stop making America the new United states of russia.

[@Camroncooper]

rome368 I'm sorry, but this is not the fifth dimension beyond that which is known to man. It is not a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It isn't the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and we are not currently lying somewhere between the pit of man's fears and the summit of all his knowledge. This is, horrifyingly, not the dimension of imagination. It is, depressingly, not the area which we call. . . the Twilight Zone. This is the reality, friend. This nightmare will not end after only half an hour. And this is not a full length movie, either. This is the reality in which a madman who makes an orange look white has become our president, and our future does not. look. good.

[@rome368]

Camron cooper Well put Mr Cooper yes you are correct it is indeed "reality". Nevertheless it seems and feels unreal, as if we are living in a parallel dimension juxtaposed to one of sanity. Right or wrong time will tell unfortunately I would bet on our country's choice as president as being one of the biggest error in judgements in history. Many of us that didn't support him seem to believe that he can do little to no harm, I beg to differ. I think you when you put people in power that are incapable of doing their job and I mean literally, bad things happen.

[@1burnman]

We were invaded Keith's right

[@Juventinos]

Soooo if I'm russian and want X in charge of the country, all I have to do is support his opponent, and all liberals would vote for X automatically. That seems logical enough!

[@sylezjusz]

It surely must be in Russian interest to constantly talk how a second world country like Russia managed to take over the most powerful state in the world.

[@blujay1524]

Didn't this guy have a hit TV show on Current? LOL

[@Nazrat84]

Why are these people clapping?

[@markalan7265]

Have you now or have you ever been a member of the Eurasianist Party?

[@KJensenStudio]

I would have liked to see the whole interview, but I don't know which of these many, many links to use to find it. Help meeeeeeee....

[@nemesis7884]

honestly, i think this attitude - just block everything they do cause they are who they are not only childish but harmful...maybe instead of looking at party lines you should simply look at ideas that benefit the country, support them, discuss them, improve them and challenge them to find a good result for everybody?

[@nemesis7884]

oh and instead of calling trump illegitimate which seems dumb, maybe liberals should focus a bit more on self critic and self reflection....trump didnt win, the liberals did loose their voters and instead of wondering why they are continuing on the same path....same things are happening in europe and thats why the populists are winning there too

[@j2air513]

We were invaded by Russia What a JOKE!!

[@frederickgramcko5283]

Keith: "I am on that page, he is an illegitimate president." .. .. " and I love working in show biz...." #XOXOXOXs

[@TheJestersDoor]

secular talk > real time with shill maher

[@jacobzaranyika9334]

That’s better - baby.

[@davidreyes1882]

*Planet of the Trumpanzees!*

[@joeabraham29]

It happened on OBAMA"S WATCH. Where is the anger toward OBAMA you hypocrites.

[@scheis123]

Make Russia Great Again!

[@RuinNationGaming]

lol and they say dems always accept results

[@walt234234]

This is ridiculous.

[@glitchripple369]

Your losing me bill . Heading in the wrong direction

[@Rakinjo2]

What, you think he should suddenly become a right-winger and bow down to God-Emperor Trump who doesn't believe in facts and rationalism? x)

[@joomikim8532]

This did not age well.

[@greekpapi]

Yeah, this didn't age well now did it??

[@NewMessage]

Funny that his approval rating at the time of swearing in was lower than his numerical ranking of presidents.

[@Gobbersmack]

Just like the polls that showed Hillary with a 20 point lead.

[@gordonm.7387]

More words from a mouth. Go have a whisky Keith...

[@MIchelle4reel]

We miss you Keith. Your voice is needed.

[@GreggBurke-vr1gi]

Are you joking? Keith Olbermann is an unhinged lunatic. He pushed a Russian Collusion conspiracy Theory for 4 years while Clinton sold off 20% of the worlds uranium to Russia as 145 million flowed into the Clinton Foundation from Russian Oligarchs. And the guy at the FBI wo was heading the investigation was just arrested for colluding with Russia. The lead attorney for the FBI who lied to the Pfizer court in order to spy on Trump's campaign then went to work for Twitter.

[@MrLee-hd5ks]

Isn't the Department of Defense just the most awesome Power? 7 Nations, China Pivot and Russian containment- Glorious---

[@j.s.3297]

This didn't age well

[@louis1443]

I don't like him at all but he is the president very sad but true the people voted for him. 😷😷

[@hostiliscivitas]

Mmmmm I love liberal tears! YUMMMYYYY!!!

[@intellektualblackman5727]

what about Jenna Jameson?

[@JMG_86]

Keith Olbermann in 2007: _"Alex Jones is a conspiracy nut!"_ Keith Olbermann in 2017: *"I'M THE NEW ALEX JONES!"*

[@thejacal2704]

GQ special correspondent; LOL!!

[@redlabel999]

controlled opposition is what this is.

[@Diego-zz1df]

They sound like a BillO'Reilly/Glenn Beck/Rush Limbaugh hybrid mutant made by a secret DNC lab.

[@cathychisholm8460]

Keith is NUTSO

[@sebastian1844]

Used to like bill maher but once he started to bash bernie or bust and saying russia hacked the election even though there is no proof he lost his credibility right then and there

[@AnticipatedDay]

In 4 years they will be so embarrassed and eating their words

[@HowardxDuck]

please shows some actual evidence...
