Overtime: Spkr. Kevin McCarthy, Ben Shapiro, Bakari Sellers | Real Time with Bill Maher (HBO)

Maher is being pragmatic. Liberals don't watch or listen to political discussion in large enough numbers to keep the lights on. Conservatives have been a mainstay of Bill's audience for years. However, with the boom in podcasting, they have a buffet of options. He needed more voices on the right to bring back those that were deserting him.

@@ohyeaaaa1 On his old show, he certainly did have plenty from the right. Even early on, on Real Time, he served the right, not as much, but still. Over the last 5 to 8 years, he's moved harder to the left. He has stopped having Dennis Prager, Larry Elder, Dennis Miller, Steven Crowder, Adam Corolla and you won't see a Thomas Sowell sighting. He'll have Greg Guttfeld on Club Randon, but not Real Time. Same with Candace Owens and Patrick Bet David. He'll sell a book on Megyn Kelly, but not have her on Real Time. He'll have Stephen A. Smith on and never mention Jason Whitlock or have him on. And you won't see Matt Walsh, Victor Davis Hanson or Pearl Davis on. Now, every person I named would be HUGE ratings and go super viral.

[@robi6317]

it'd be better to hear them offer some solutions and compromises

[@jamesmcd71]

@robi6317 hundreds of solutions for every issue have been offered. The problem is with the voters. We have known for 248 years a big federal gov was a bad thing. From the founding documents to the late 50s, the population agreed that the Fed Gov should be held to its constitutional limits. Because gov does nothing well and the bigger it gets the more inefficient it becomes. Then, all of a sudden, the people decided the gov was going to take care of them with social security. ( Social security was introduced to only work for the families of the soldiers killed in WW2. It wasn't planned to last more than 20 years. ) Today, 34% of all employees in the US are federal government employees. In 1960 2% of workers were federal employees. In 1960, you could live your life and only come in contact with the federal government on the day you paid your federal taxes. Today, the federal government controls everything. There isn't a product, service, or activities that don't have federal regulations.

No major political parties in Israel endorsed Barack Obama's 2015 nuclear deal with Iran. The agreement was met with strong opposition across the Israeli political spectrum. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu led a vigorous campaign against the deal, describing it as a "historic mistake" that endangered global security. Opposition leaders, including Isaac Herzog and Yair Lapid, also criticized the deal and Netanyahu's handling of it. However, some security experts in Israel did acknowledge that the deal had certain benefits for Israel's security.

It actually stunning how wrong you're about the subject. The "inner city culture" is a direct product of bad policy and I am not talking about welfare. The black community has been historical denied access to grow wealth. The Federal Housing and National Housing Act of 1934 created one largest shifts in homeownership in US and it excluded black Americans. The value of a home and community banks getting the government to remove the risk from mortgages turned the Bank of Italy into the Bank of Americans and has similar effects on all community banks expect black banks.
