Real Time with Bill Maher: Overtime - Episode

[@hallabalooza]

This was, literally, the best panel ever.

[@MattSingh1]

Obviously you've never seen one with Christopher Hitchens...

[@JoelSully]

Matthew Singh-Dosanjh Obviously you've never seen Rob Lowe's character on Parks and Recreation...

[@hallabalooza]

Matthew Singh-Dosanjh Actually I did. It was a reference to Rob Lowe's character in "Parks and Recreation"

[@cvcnet]

Matthew Singh-Dosanjh He's dead... doubt they would resuscitate him for an episode of real time... would be nice I admit... and I'd definitely watch it!

[@chungwahcancion7870]

Taibbi is one of the best people to have his say

[@bermudaguy1]

That congressman is the cleanest shirt in the dirty laundry hamper. Snowden and Assange are HERO's!!

[@Tsnore]

Matt Taibbi is consistently strong on issues of justice.

[@lilmojett]

As a heterosexual male, I found this panel quite attractive.

[@davidschaub7791]

The crux of the prison population problem is the "prison industrial complex." Good cash flow.

[@1290001]

Matt Taibbi is a genius all the way through this clip.

[@Mutex50]

It amazes me how anyone and especially Bill thinks that our voting system allows us to vote for who we want. First-past-the-post ensures that voters are uncoordinated and have to vote for the lesser of two evils. It prevents any third party from being able to build up or gain any traction. Why is it so difficult for people like Bill or Cenk to understand that changing our voting system is a very important issue?

[@1998nicksdad]

our voting system has changed but for the worst. who people want in congress doesnt mean anything wih gerrymandering around. There were 3 million more votes in 2012 for dems in congress yet republicans win seats because of gerrymandering, without that and voter suppression republicans couldnt win a school board election, in todays america, they are a minority and I believe they should be treated the same way they treat other minorities and lets see how they like it, let them feel how minorities feel, blacks, hispanics, gays, oh yeah give them the same treatment they give to others, maybe, just maybe the regular folks who vote against their own interests and goals may change how they vote. I find it amazing how many misguided middle class vote against their own financial and economical interest, will one of you please justify being republican, enlighten us with all the republican policies that have helped you or anyone you love, take a month to come up with just ONE you will need it, go on justify voting against yourself

[@QualityServiced]

don't know what you're talking about, but I've heard him say the voting system needs to be fixed before on this show.

[@1998nicksdad]

the congress has a 9% approval rating and yet 90% of congress gets reelected, your right, people dont realize that there are options. 1 out of 10 dont like their congressman and yet 9 out of 10 reelect him or her, crazy

[@ChrisHall1337]

If you watched Bill's show more often you would know he has brought up the shitty electoral system. He also constantly talks about representation because California has far more people than say Nebraska but they have the same representation.

[@Mutex50]

Chris Hall I am NOT talking about the electoral college or representation in the Senate. I am talking about the problem of vote splitting. I watch Maher all the time and I've never heard him talk about alternative voting systems except for maybe proportional representation although I'm not even sure if he has done that. If he has talked about approval voting, score voting, or any Condorcet method, tell me which episode that was. When has he ever said that we need to get rid of first-past-the-post voting?

[@MrReallyHard]

A Republican with a DEEP VOICE doesn't IMPRESS me or INTIMIDATE me! He does seem a lot smarter than Ted Cruz or Sarah Palin though.

[@aprilrawls5162]

@Flightof2Owls I'm from Georgia and that is no southern accent. He sounds like Seth McFarlane.

[@FortisConscius]

The difference between the Oligarchy in the US and the Monarchy in the UK is the Monarchy exercise almost no power. We have an elected government, guys. The Houses of Parliament isn't just a tourist attraction but Buckingham palace is ;)

[@FortisConscius]

In fact the problem with the next in line to the throne (Prince Charles) is that he has very public opinions (about homeopathy in the NHS and such) which many feel is grosly inappropriate and he could well be the catalyst for ending any slither of remaining power the Monarchy might have.

[@McMurchie]

there was a massive translation problem, the guy was heard translating 'why do congress men only take up the prison theme when things happen such as Ukraine' they heard prison, what he actually said was ' why do congress men only take up the PRESENT theme when things happen'

[@fishbone3333]

I have never seen an occasion where Matt Taibbi was not the most brilliant and insightful person in the room.

[@marijuansantana9425]

Bill Maher is such a fucking natural comedian. The way he said "good night" in Russian, totally mispronouncing it in the process, made every Russians-speaking viewer laugh, I bet. No one can say things the way Bill Maher can.

[@kab2808]

I wonder how many people got what Rob Lowe meant when he said that he has trouble with Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan?... It was what he said from a scene he had in an episode of the West Wing. :-)

[@robinsss]

earth To Bill!!! it's highly unlikely that a third party candidate will be elected for president voting for a third party for president is throwing your vote away at this point

[@Abraxas1177]

A smart republican...I fell like swallowing my tongue

[@robinsss]

"we're jealous of the British" that's true America wants a king

[@papersplease]

Taibbi, Hastings (RIP) and Scahill.

[@Megadondada]

I would add Glenn Greenwald to that list of greats.

[@GuitarWithJamie]

Matt Taibbi reminds me of Jim Gaffigan.

[@michaelo.1320]

why

[@TempestTossedWaters]

Bad panel, we got the "Snowden hurt us, and besides RUSSIA" routine and no-one called that bs. Taibbi was the only glint of light.

[@chungwahcancion7870]

i shared this ,with Matt cued up about our dynasty fixation

[@uptheaubins]

Pablo De La Cruz that peaked my interest too. I support Snowdon but, if its true that he did hurt us than I want to know how. Because I say so doesn't help

[@EHCBunny4real]

Adrienne A Pablo De La Cruz The US human rights records has harmed our reputation more than Snowdon's whistle blowing. www.theguardian.com/world/2014/mar/27/us-human-rights-record-chastised-un-report

[@hannumarijarvi4338]

Pablo De La Cruz Yeah which is only the easiest ploy in the world to pull off, to say you have secret info that totally proves you right but that you can't sharw. WMDs anyone?

[@MattSingh1]

Hannu Marijarvi I suggest you buy and read a copy of 'The Bomb In My Garden' by former Iraqi chief nuclear government scientist Madhi Obeidi. Iraq had a viable, capable WMD programme. Status-quo liberals/leftists like you are perennially staggeringly uneducated and misinformed on the whole issue of Iraq.

[@intorpere]

Terrible panel this time, aside from Taibbi and PR.

[@sulezraz]

that guy sounds like seth macfarlane

[@McSnezzly]

Russia's response to the whole Snowden deal was "He can't tell us anything that we didn't already know." Funny, way to go about it, I suppose

[@michaelo.1320]

Great overtime!

[@lbthingsstuffmore9513]

Guess who's going to jail from this vid...?

[@darrak4851]

As if there are any choices outside the real of GOP and Dems! As the great George Carlin said "there is no choice in the U.S., but the illusion of choice."

[@headrockbeats]

Hah, Bill missed the fact that Duncan Hunter was naming them _by order of north to south_, which is somewhat more impressive than just naming them. I doubt most congressmen could, though, as he claims.

[@MazeThePlaya]

Not that I want to diminish Hunter's accomplishment, but I think he's paraphrasing a quote from Charlie Wilson's War here where Wilson rattles off all these countries sorted by region.

[@aprilrawls5162]

Well he was in the Marine Corps for 17 years so he has probably been to alot of those places !

[@agenor12001]

the reason we have dynasties in public office is cause it takes money and lots of it to run for PUBLIC office, so now the person who wants to run uinles they have monetary backing) can`t.

[@purumr]

Where is overtime 315?

[@kstl3148]

Watching this in 2022 wow how the country has gotten so much worse

[@shawncouch2243]

Why was the one woman being translated when she spoke but nobody was translating to her what the other people were saying?

[@truthcantbesilenced4533]

If anyone thinks a Bush can win the presidency.... No words to describe the ignorance of the person who believes that's possible.

[@johnreece9774]

too many secrets

[@jacobzaranyika9334]

I have never met you too, but I too can tell...

[@VfletchS]

Conservative nutter gets complimented on having something going on upstairs, then goes on a Snowden rant and proves he doesn't.

[@paulstillman2878]

I would take Bush or Clinton after three years of Trump.

[@Utracia1]

Wonder how much Russian Taibbi knows from his time in Russia, be nice to speak with those ladies direct and not through an interpreter.

[@alexanderz3556]

Everyone's talking about how hot they are, I had to scroll through to pages to find out it's Pussy Riot. Which adds an extra layer of irony sice they're Feminists.

[@dottenday]

I can't stand Ana Marie Cox. She's obnoxious.

[@Yourismouter]

where overtime 315?

[@TheKgr1967]

Bill, that was painful at the end, saying goodnight in Russian, really did show up your shortcomings a wee bit!

[@chungwahcancion7870]

uh, you mean his Russian wasn't smooth? Russian is a hard language to pick up.

[@KMAsKorner]

I think Cenk doesn't make this show because Bill has found himself far righter than he used to be and Cenk scares him.

[@valgehiir]

I think Bill is becoming an old man, and Cenk, a real Progressive, truly scares Bill. RTBM have become boring, that is a fact.

[@schwartzhoffsteven]

The Bush/Clinton argument misses the point. It is not that we like monarchy (biarchy), but that building brands is so expensive it is hard to establish a new candidate´s name on the market. Also note that Hillary has not even managed to get nominated (unfortunately in my opinion) so the idea the neme helps is strange. The press is simply to lazy to cover other candidates serriously and goes for the easiest story.

[@Quiet_One]

I bet Hilary Clinton and Jeb Bush will be the nominees for both parties in 2016, but if the Republican voters have any sense they'll vote for Rand Paul instead of Bush.

[@MightyPhalus]

On Twitter? Tweet these nuts.

[@shrade4179]

Didn't a bunch of prisoners just die in Texas due to extreme temperatures in their cells?

[@bandmanager007]

If Snowden exposed too much it's the government's fault. If they would stop doing the seedy stuff they do, we wouldn't need people like Snowden. Personally, I think Snowden did what he did out of desperation. And good for him.

[@burnouttx2415]

I big problem about Snowden is that if half of the assholes in government actually followed the regulations and policies governing computer security and information security, he would not have been able to get his hands on half of the stuff he squawked about.....

[@DynastyJr]

"Can i ask another question?" how do you ask that on Bill Maher? of course you can...feel sorry for Russians

[@yuriboyka9927]

The one in green is a hottie.

[@Kollenda1]

Ok, not Monarchy - call it Feudalism. Anyway - it sucks!

[@artsHscience]

Poor Matt is losing his hair. Not so hot any more.

[@Nick_the_Troubadour]

wtf hell hole I like DC it seemed awesome I will take your job

[@maxschlepzig641]

I'm not sure anything vaguely resembling content was displayed in this discussion. Just a privileged sector making sure they all agree with one another. This is pathetic, even more so considering the people who somehow are capable of following this.

[@gregalexander8189]

Alexander riteus. Besout(???) Ire. DUMINACHI ROMANOF ROTHSCHILD jaloux. The rest of those names are highlited.

[@dwbkmj]

Them girls are hot

[@Sweetwildflower]

Clintons and the Bushs' PLEASE America wake the fuck up. We need NEW blood in office.

[@wj0067]

Any one hear of Camelot....hmm and millions and million being spent on xpresidents security every year. that doesn't happen in other countries.

[@wrathofme03]

bill ...there is no country called azerban it's Azerbijan....lol

[@bedazzlejuju]

Garbage. Give me a break. No more dialling for dollars post McCutcheon. And issues come from the news???? What news? The propaganda machine? *sigh*

[@Claronium780]

NO MATTER what happens JEB Bush will never be President - we've already had too many ! Although winning the Republican nomination would probably be even harder!

[@viveliott5593]

Kiki

[@MrBeatboxmasta]

Why does that actor always look like a woman? They all wear makeup on TV but they always put mascara and (probably) lipstick on this guy.

[@Osmin2086]

that girls on green mmmmm rico suave mami!

[@dwbkmj]

Them girls are hot

[@isaachaze1]

the one in green especially, hell yea

[@truvak]

Dennis Boyd hell yeah! I want that pussy riot on my pants! \o/

[@rohanmiscrits]

Truvak T made me lol \o/
