Real Time with Bill Maher: Overtime - June 12, 2015 (HBO)

[@kathrynstephens8884]

Loved Jeff Ross as a guest tonight. His comedy is always fresh and edgy, but tonight he showed us how much work and research he puts into it. Love the first-hand perspective on the Prison Industrial Complex.

[@tdubb3]

Kathryn Stephens yeah, I'm generally not a fan but I really liked him here

7:26 She had the urge to jump in with 'cars and dicks'. Then she was blushing for the rest of the night. She happens to be the only female at the table. She made this overtime !!! I love Ms. Goldstein.

[@foppo100]

***** Great guest good to watch people with a brain talking about various topics.Keep it up.>:)

[@lukemilton1964]

Love Bill Maher! Great show as usual!

[@CrystalsandCandles]

Luke Milton His worst show ever. Now I hate Liberals too

[@pirateman1966]

James Travers then, why troll this channel?

[@undeaddave9671]

***** crazier crazies? Pc,Bruce Jenner,undermining basic morality,come on. I don't like either but it seems to me that liberals want to take away everybody's rights and republicans wanna keep everyone poor and stupid.

[@TheTruthMattersTheLastSt-nu9xv]

His Disgusting liberal followers as usual. Fuck that big nosed tax freak, minimum wage freak, climate change freak, Obama freak

[@Campy_Camel]

First Lewis Black and now Jeff Ross?! Now they just need to get Ricky Gervais on the show. :D

[@xyzpilgram]

intellectual perspective ... refreshing

[@salasvalor01]

I like the dinner conversations, don't like the intense dramatic ones much at all.

[@journeyon1983]

Now, this was the funniest overtime I've seen in a long time.. Great and productive 10 minutes.. ;-)

Here's my patented secret method to stay out of debt: _Spend less than you earn._

[@OtherM112594]

Awesome panel this week! All fascinating progressives and two very funny comedians. No idiot right wingers to delude the discourse and misinform the audience. Absolutely perfect!

[@tdubb3]

OtherM112594 i see what you did there

[@OtherM112594]

Did what???

[@Sevr-ln7kk]

OtherM112594 You must not be that familiar with Ron Christie, and you must not have heard Bill introduce him. He is a hard right conservative who greatly admires Dick Cheney. He's the typical "idiot right winger" you speak of.

[@OtherM112594]

Sev3r333 Well he didn't say anything stupid enough to make me want to drown him in a bathtub so I just assumed he wasn't a neocon. Thank you for clarifying.

[@jesushatesyoutoo]

OtherM112594 No, I love when there is a right wing idiot on the panel. They show the world how fucking stupid they are! They get backed into a corner and can't escape, its is fucking wonderful to watch!

[@OtherM112594]

Damn son, a Bill was all about that thug lyfe! Three cheers for the Reefer Man!

[@ciociaroirrequiete2927]

Jeff Ross sitting there like "what the fuck am i doing here???"

[@trombone7]

HBO is a great channel. Pulled the plug on cable over a year ago, and this show is far and away what I miss the most. Actually seems to have gotten better in the year I haven't had it.

[@cloudy9907]

these overtimes should be getting longer not shorter as for the climate change issue, there is almost a kind of complacency among liberals and mainstreamers like Bill Maher that all we need is a carbon tax and an at least semi-serious policy. But the implications of what Jim Hansen (the leading NASA climatologist who first introduced Congress to the global warming problem in the 1980s) has been saying about 350 since 2007 is that we have LONG PAST the tipping point and are rapidly approaching a point of no return. Even several of the major oil companies have come out in favor of a carbon tax -- which doesn't mean it's bad, but it iindicates together with Hansen that what we need is the kind of total sudden shift that we had with the economy in WWII. And time is really running out -- the point of no return is coming quickly Incidentally, no mention of the G7, including the pledge to go off fossil fuels by 2100; instead of 85 years we need get globally (re:Hansen's climatology, meeting all the otherwise unpredictable variables we've seen since), we need to get to net negative greenhouse gas emissions and in something closer to 8.5 years than to 80. This whole contrast should be banner headline news, and the subject of Congressional hearings in the many years the Democrats had at least the Senate

[@thunderpooch]

We need a bullshit tax. Everything that women buy could have a bullshit tax placed on it. Porcelin cats, and window sill ornaments, god knows what else what worthless junk is being mass produced in China.

[@ladycham9775]

cloudy Let Saudi Arabia fall to ISIS or any other "terrorist" group and see how fast we push 100% biodiesel. As long as oil companies can suck a profit, we lose. When US gas hits $6 - $7 a gallon [already being paid in Japan and Europe], see how quickly attitudes change especially from the corporations reliant on trucking/shipping cargo.

[@davidhamilton9472]

love this show

[@peaceharmony4115]

Pesca's point is dead on: Saying that a government needs to balance its budget the way a family does is just garbage. They are just not the same thing. Families don't mint money, nor do they borrow collossal amounts of money from foreign governments, nor do they have such a structured manner of paying interest on that debt. Families, for that matter, do not build roads, or other major infrastructure, or raise armies. Of course, conservative politicians know this, but cynically exploit the fact that many people will understand the false family/government analogy, without thinking it through (it is simplistic as hell, but therefore comprehensible by almost everyone), and become their footsoldiers for cutting government spending.

[@cyninbend]

Peace Harmony And families can't just refuse to pay their debts if the terms are too onerous either, but countries can and do. Banks can't actually send their army in to collect the money a foreign government owes them, after all. But the sheriff will gladly put a family out of their home or let a collector take the car.

[@peaceharmony4115]

cyninbend Exactly ^

[@DH1986]

Peace Harmony It's not that the United States has a small amount of debt - It's about $18 trillion dollars.

[@saayagain65]

Peace Harmony Why did you mix two concepts together? Borrowing for investment is fine. Borrowing for current expenditure is bad. If you want to increase current expenditure, the government should increase current tax revenue. By borrowing, the government defers these inevitable tax rises and actually increases the amount of tax that needs to be received due to interest. If the government wants to invest in social housing, infrastructure, factories, plants etc...then by all means borrow and present a comprehensive plan that shows when the debt will be paid off and how it will be paid off. The real issue is that the economy is fueled by debt, public or private. There are two ways to increase your income: become more productive or get more credit. If you go into debt in order to become productive, it makes sense. I.e if you borrow some money to get a machine that helps you produce a good 10 times faster, if makes sense. Your future increased income will pay for the machine. Then after that all the income is yours. If you borrow some money to pay your phone bill, you'll have bailiffs at your door within a year or so. This is capitalism. If you don't like this system, socialism is there for you. :)

[@saayagain65]

cyninbend Do you think the US government can survive without countries lending it money? Going into debt for current operating expenditure is just bad economics. Plain and simple. The spending will not increase future tax revenues therefore it is bad.

Unfortunately, aluminum recycling is the only recycling that is worth it financially. Everything else costs more to recycle than to just throw away

woah, even better than usual

[@ballet1026]

Bill Maher is great wish he was our president .

[@RMTmusic1]

Legalize all drugs, end the drug war, get out of the middle east, end the military industrial complex, $20.00 minimum wage, taxes break for the poor and middle class, put a salary cap on how much money rich people can make and tax the shit out of them. But that all makes way too much sense to ever happen.

Alexis Goldstein is soooo cute. Please marry me.

actually when bill clinton was in office we weren't in debt we actually had a surplus

[@G__M__P]

1:20 I don't know if Maher's numbers about debt are correct or not, but speaking about the debt in nominal terms doesn't help the discussion. Still the lowest debt to gdp ratio was under the Carter administration in the late '70s: debt was 32.5% of gdp at that time.

The reason why many are in personal debt is because our congressmen are siding with financial institutions over the people who voted them in. That's because financial institutions have lobbyists.

Because the government has been shrinking in size ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha Deep breath Ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.

[@cyninbend]

Mathew Wickham Actually, if you were intelligent enough to check the statistics, you'd know that every Democratic President has shrunk the size of the federal government every year they are in office, and shrunk federal spending every year as well. It may not please the banks loaning us money but it's the truth. On the other hand, the size of the federal workforce has grown every year a Republican President has been in office with only 2 exceptions: 2 years of President H.W. Bush's term. Reagan and Baby Bush both increased federal spending and the size of government in every year of their 2 terms respectively! That's a total of 18 years of Republican increases (8+8+2), and 16 years of Democratic downsizing. Only 2 years of Republican downsizing. You Repubs don't blow up the debt and the deficit so hugely without giving jobs to all your donors and their kids and crazy uncles......

[@pierzing.glint1sh76]

I used to sell loose joints in Harvard square. I used to sell ounces to my Marine Corp buddies. I'd a pound of weed for 150 bucks and break it down into ounces. Twenty bucks an ounce. Man, you can't even buy a GRAM now, for less than twenty bucks. I know, I know, the weed back then wasn't as potent. Sure, but it was pretty good. The potency of weed now is absurd. A gram of bud now is like a gram of hash then.

[@thunderpooch]

Another tip for Americans. Don't get out of bed. Pull the covers back over your head. Chances are your day will be filled with pointless BS that will just annoy everyone else. Stop buying junk. Another hillbilly yard ornament is not funny or cool. Buying new drapes to match your new bed cover is pathetic. A new purse to match your shoes will not get you laid or lead to a promotion.

[@TheDragonoftheWeast]

An unusually jokey panel. XD

[@ChannelMath]

no, BIll, the national debt was well into the billions by the 70s

[@LividImp]

ChannelMath Proof?

[@ChannelMath]

cmon, this is so easy to look up. try google images for "national debt"

[@ladycham9775]

ChannelMath Actually, we first hit the billion mark during the Civil War. The only $75m I'm aware of was during the Revolutionary War and it was paid back. However, when the Brits came back in 1812, we were forced to borrow again and it's been steadily rising ever since... [www.theatlantic.com/business/archive/2012/11/the-long-story-of-us-debt-from-1790-to-2011-in-1-little-chart/265185/] There are other sources that confirm the information contained at the site listed. FYI - October 22, 1981 was the date we hit the $1 trillion mark. I had just turned 15 years old. Thanks, Baby Boomers!

[@ChannelMath]

so I guess by "the seventies", Bill could have meant the 1770s!

[@LividImp]

ChannelMath Easy or not, you challenged his baseless assertion with your own baseless assertion. If you want your argument to be persuasive, you need more than the rhetorical equivalent of "not-ahh". Fortunately for you, Lady Cham did the heavy lifting here.

[@anjarellabright3480]

Good point about other nations having to follow emissions rules cutting down on carbon in the air. However, China, India and Mexico,the nations mentioned in the discussion, are countries which produce American products cheaply....thus there is/will be radical push-back from American companies which do not want to pay fair for labor.

[@15aac]

At 06:10 Ron Christie points out China, India and Mexico as countries with high levels of CO2 emissions. That alone is true, but not if you know that the CO2 emissions PER PERSON is much much lower than the US. The US is the real crook here considering they emit waaay more per person than the other three countries listed, despite having much better economic and technological opportunities to change this.

[@osamahkiwan85]

4:05 It's funny that Bill Maher should mention about Israel being one of the leaders in sewage water recycling (which is commendable I have to admit) while at the same time it deprives Palestinians its rightful share of water. (Israel : 350L/person/day; West bank : 60 L/person/day). In fact just today I read an Israeli company closed the taps to tens of thousands of people in West bank during their holy month of fasting. But of course I'm sure it's the fault of the people being denied water, I'm sure they must have done something to deserve it. www.aljazeera.com/news/2016/06/israel-cuts-water-supplies-west-bank-ramadan-160614205022059.html

Don't forget that coal smoke was a problem throughout the world for years. It's just China's turn and they have even more production happening. China is producing things that satisfy peoples "wants". The USA might be wise to focus on producing things that people "need". (Canada too) The market is wide open. Apr 2021 cdn

[@donfryedontlie]

its also funny how they can spend half the show bitching about Mckinney and yet one of the bigger scandals in the country in regards to race right now about my local NAACP president was never brought up...

[@OtherM112594]

That's just her personal issue though. What happened in McKinney was a tragedy indicative of a rampant problem with policing in this country.

[@donfryedontlie]

is it? because in this very town where our fake black naacp president goes around promoting civil unrest by falsely accusing police of targeting blacks, the police force is actually brutalizing ANYONE of ANY RACE. thats whats actually taking place all across this country. take a look at the mexican man shot to death while running away in nearby Pasco, WA after he simply cast a stone at them, go look at the video and ask yourself why his story only appeared on CNN for one 24 hour news cycle....its beceause he wasnt black enough for the media. wanna see some shit that is NOT making it into the headlines? its not about police but just take a look and then tell me why none of these stories received national attention: imgur.com/a/3kTfl please go check that imgur album out and tell me WHY

[@donfryedontlie]

don FRYEor maybe a story from just the other day that is so horrific i cant even put it into words: www.wfaa.com/story/news/local/dallas-county/2015/06/03/four-arrested-for-beating-pregnant-dallas-teen/28394279/ but yeah, Mckinney is the worst thing that happened anywhere, ever #BlackLivesMatter

[@lindsncal]

don FRYE Hardly the 'biggest scandal". It's just another 'fake news' scandal that doesn't amount to much at all and hasn't contributed to all the problems.

[@donfryedontlie]

Great rebuttal. You dont live here and have no idea about the impact this women has tried to have on our community. This is a real scandal and just because you dont want to look into it doesnt mean its not there. Rachel is a reflection of self hating white liberals all across the nation.
