Real Time with Bill Maher: Overtime Overseas - September 18, 2015 (HBO)

[@jeremyjakob9721]

Lmfao that henry ford quote is spot on though. "if I asked people what they wanted, they would have said a faster horse." We can't rely on the masses for innovation, innovation comes from great minds, another reason we should be spending tax money on education instead of wars.

[@jasmineeeee433]

Our country is very scared.

[@ghettofreeze]

+Andrew the Celt It was an ideal quote for making a point about technological progress. Yes, Ford was a proactive anti-semite (although I REALLY doubt that even he would have advocated genocide), but that has nothing to do with the fact that he ranks among the greatest innovators. BTW, he probably didn't make the "faster horse" statement, either, but his opinion about automobiles is nevertheless worth examining.

[@andrewthecelt3794]

ghettofreeze I know, seldom are people all monstrous or all saints.

[@RuleofFive]

+Jeremy Jakob Soooo true.....

[@jacksprat418-ju5qo]

+Jeremy Jakob I just want to point out that Matthews instantly extended his hand to Ramos at the end. Classy.

[@davidbergin6184]

This is a sad time. There really isn't a Republican worth a shit today.

[@aleksandartalevski4634]

+David Bergin Well, there's this guy by the name of Rand Paul. You might remember him as the sensible guy who had a reasonable answer for every question at the CNN debate. But his polling numbers are horrible because Trump calls him short. Woo, yay America!

[@mast6209]

+Aleksandar Talevski Na, cause he's flip-flopping in his positions!

[@journeyon1983]

+David Bergin I'm an Independent who used to be a Democrat but never a Republican and I completely agree with your statement. I would love to see the FDR Republicans return to the Senate and House and be the caring party they once were. This political atmosphere we've had for some time is just volatile and so polarized that it's literally dividing this country. This needs to end.

[@if6was929]

+Aleksandar Talevski if its true that Rand Paul's poll numbers are down because of Trump's comments regarding RP's height, then that's how Republicans, not all Americans, are responding to the slur.

[@miuramike8310]

+David Bergin You hit the nail on the head! It's a sad time, the Republicans are now in a position where the have to be crazier than their opponent. I'm not surprised that the more offensive the always offensive Trump becomes, the more the Republicans love him. The only thing scarier than having that talking scrotum for President is having Palin for President. And judging by how low the bar is set, it wouldn't shock me if she decided to run again, with Michelle Bachman or Kim Davis as her running mate. It seems like in the last 35 years the Democrats have sadly moved to the right, and the Republicans have moved to a mental hospital. I've lived in Vermont & have family there, Bernie Sanders has been around for decades, and has a long record of making sane decisions, not backing down & having zero tolerance for bullshit. So I would love to see him in the oval office, but you know a Democrat or Republican will always win. There are many things I love about this country, but the things that are wrong with it are beyond repair. Having a poorly educated population that gorges on junky food, prescription drugs, guns, murder, racism & Fox News alerts is humiliating. You add the insanity of adults who believe in fairy tales like the bible & Noah's Ark and deny global warming....what's next? And if you dare say anything critical about the US, conservatives act like you just killed their dog. The whole point of a Democracy is to point out the problems & fix them. I'm just glad I'm moving back to Australia, which of course has it's own problems like every country. It's just that compared to the US, it's a bastion of sanity.

[@crtinde]

I love that Henry Ford quote at the end "If I asked people what they wanted, they would've said 'a faster horse'"

[@davidfortier6976]

But Henry Ford never asked what anyone wanted. He didn't care what anyone wanted.

[@fixinman]

A comment from George Takei's page. on the kid's clock. I said: it's sad they thought that kid had a bomb. She said: they didn't think he had a bomb. I said: yes, they thought he made a bomb and even called the police. She said: They just wanted to humiliate a little Muslim, African boy. They didn't think he had a bomb. I said: Don't be a conspiracist. They might be a little prejudiced, but I'm sure they thought he had a bomb. She said: Ok. But they didn't evacuate the school, like you do when there's a bomb. They didn't call a bomb squad - like you do when there's a bomb They didn't get as far away from him as possible - like you do when there's a bomb. Then they put him and the clock in an office- not like you do when there's a bomb Then they waited with him for the police to arrive. Then they put the clock in the same car as the police. Then they took pictures of it. I said: Damn They never thought he had a bomb

[@mr_frible3061]

+Ben Johnson Still think the little brat should've just taken a cell phone video would've saved us all this bullshit!

[@blazedandconfused477]

+Ben Johnson Touché! Glad their plan to humiliate the kid backfired massively and now this kid has already had a bigger career boost from building a clock for a school science project, than the people who invented the damn sundial.

[@5easy]

+Mr_ Flibble it was a school project

[@mr_frible3061]

Um on the first day of school? Teacher didnt collect it to grade? Care to try again?

[@jasmineeeee433]

Wow. And I'm still trying to figure out why they suspended the kid.

[@kdskdkdkdk]

Chris Matthews has a short memory. KZbin nevers forgets .

[@northernlight1000]

Agree with George Pataki!!

[@FlyingFish747]

Let Ramos speak, dang. Maher and Matthews wouldn't let the man finish two sentences.

[@chuckenglish1]

+FlyingFish747 The weren't ready to hear the truth.

[@joegarner4379]

best show on Friday nights! by far...

[@Shimigani1701]

seriously Bill the name that should come up first for opposing the Iraq war should be Bernie Sanders.

[@miketo201]

you can say his name, he exists #berniesanders 09:30

[@KittredgeRitter]

Thank you! someone who sees what's going on.

[@gerardrbain1972]

Funny how they didn't mention Bernie Saunders' opposition to the invasion of Iraq.

[@miketo201]

Al Coholic I watch allot of TV this isn't an accident. Every week real time and other mainstream media avoid mentioning his name. they talk about every other candidate on a first name basis besides him

[@KittredgeRitter]

michael ghebrial-ibrahim I agree they are ignoring him. They do it to all candidates who oppose the establishment. Ron Paul, Dennis Kucinich, and pretty much anyone who isn't going along with status quo.

[@miketo201]

Al Coholic Joshua Phillips It's an adept to de-legitimize the Candide by saying his to radical to even mention.They do it all the time to great progressive politicians. To paraphrase a great quote from FDR, "the media to politicians is like the wind to sailors". Everyone forgets that its only rich people on shows like this, and you think they like Bernies tax the rich agenda

[@smithmcsmith9218]

"If I asked people what they wanted, they would have said a faster horse." Fucking brilliant. Let's take climate change seriously! Go Bernie!

[@Onodera1980]

7:30 - Nostalgia is a powerful thing. It causes us to see a past that never was, remembering only the good things and forgetting all the bad things.

[@IMBirdie76]

Jorge had many good points, and you guys steam rolled him, shame on you! When he said "we" and journalists didn't do enough to oppose the war, you guys should have said......I made it a point to do that, but so many didn't and you are right, too many journalists didn't do enough actual journalism about how terrible the war would be and the fact that we had no right going to war in Iraq in the first place. Don't take it personally, you think so too!

[@Tusc9969]

+Birdie R I agree they shouldn't of steam rolled the guy after making a valid point but I think it was the "WE" word that Jorge used that offended the other guests because they did speak out against the Iraq war. Jorge should've said "lots of" or "many" journalists instead of "we".

[@mikesgeekcorner]

+Joe Lazarus Well, it was really just Matthews of the guests that got offended, but yeah.

[@djoetma]

+Birdie R I think Jorge got his point across. Matthews took it personally, and Jorge corrected him and said what he meant. Matthews kept screaming, but Jorge was simply right. As a total, the press wasn't critical.

[@jacobzaranyika9334]

I see where you are going with this. I am listening....

[@tbizone2002]

I love Chris' closing quote: "if i had asked people what they wanted, they would've said a faster horse." - Henry Ford

[@christophlieding734]

with all that shit going on, I am glad we have Bill who makes us laugh. Mahalo Bill and Aloha to you.

[@paulwhite6413]

What am I missing here. Why is Maher so opposed to crediting Bernie Sanders for anything?

[@30stmFantasy]

+Kaleb Adams Maher isn't going to support Bernie until he's convinced Bernie will be better for the U.S. than Hillary. I'm with Bill - too soon to make that decision.

[@psychologybear6846]

+30stmFantasy she's losing to bernie and outspending him 10 to 1... she needs to step aside and let that democrat Super Pac money go to the only person who can actually fix this country

[@30stmFantasy]

+Michael Scott That's ridiculous to think she would just give up and 'step aside.' It's way early and Bernie said he doesn't want that money. I'm looking forward their debate and hope his health is up to all the stress ahead.

[@Nurg1982]

+30stmFantasy Hillary is 67, let's hope her health is up to all the stress ahead as well then.

[@30stmFantasy]

+Frans van Terwisga a young 67 vs an old 74 but okay I like em both

[@irCurts_Old_Gamer]

LOL this is 7 years old. It is funny to hear what they said back then.

[@BOOMACLYDE]

this was the best show you did this year; please invite these guests again......I actually enjoyed George Pataki's insights and you managed to tame Chris Mathews

[@Bamboo4U2]

+BOOMACLYDE Pataki proved himself nothing more than a party shill. That whole "Saint Ronnie" nonsense has really got to stop. Bill cornered him on that very well. Anything Reagan does was just puppies and unicorns and anything that Obama does is the end of the world.

[@robertwhitten265]

+BOOMACLYDE The same guy who thought China didn't have nuclear weapons in the 80s?

[@lauradavis4783]

I just love you and the way you run your show. Thank you

[@stephaniekrueger9970]

Is it just me, or was Jorge Ramos treated almost the same way on the show as he was in Trump's press conference? He couldn't explain his point without the others jumping down his throat. Isn't the media incredibly powerful when it comes to distracting us, or fear-mongering? Is Jorge wrong to say that journalists didn't do enough? Speaking of fear-mongering, Bill is doing a good job at that when it comes to Islam.

[@September2004]

8:25 I think Jorge meant journalists 'in general' with some exceptions. I thought Maher agreed with this too at one point.

[@wazaza2011]

Chris matthews is an angel !? Right .....

[@Jinda89]

Chris Matthews was unbearably smug about the whole "we" thing. He completely sandbagged Ramos out of making a very valid point about how the mainstream media AS A WHOLE had a responsibility to do more. And for what, a round of applause a decade later? And Maher's "Why are we all lumped together" is just astonishing!

[@UncleMike43]

Great dialogue on both sides for a change. We need much more of this.

[@ffsf739]

One of the best shows of the year - if not THE best.

[@chelseafan4eva]

2015: "does Jeremy Corbyn indicate populism?" Bill maher: "these idiots with their idiotic questions." 2019: "EVERYTHING IS POPULISM!!!!" 😂😂😂

[@mwhite1005]

oh what sweet innocent children we were back then.

[@here4dalaughz]

acknowledge BERNIE

[@davidscalia7444]

love ur work bill, please come to australia

[@TheIsmaelu84]

Chris Matthews voice specifically was up a couple of decibels when Jorge Ramos was talking, some pent up aggression there is pretty obvious.

[@TheSnoopy1750]

+Ismael Uribe He's pissed that Ramos is a true journalist.

[@conquistador8907]

+Aztec Syndicalist No guilt; he didn't support the war. Did you watch the show. Jorge was a complete idiot (he reminded me of an annoying gnat) & somehow Bill managed not to tell him to STFU but Chris wasn't so tolerant.

[@conquistador8907]

+Aztec Syndicalist Like many, "he opposed the invasion and the war." But like many, once it was done - that fool Bush invaded Iraq - we tried to support the president. It became more difficult to support him once we saw what a disaster he & Cheney had created.

[@catsirking465]

+Conquistador no you're actually lying, , and or you're very uneducated on this topic. The Internet is very wide search around for videos of Mr. Mathews defending the war and you'll see what Ramos was talking about. Anyways you probably won't look things up and continue to have a small scared view of the world, but I would suggest being a grown up and searching up these relevant optics. All in all I hope you have a nice day and that you mature to become an active and intelligent American.

[@KyleJBales]

@@catsirking465 Lol are you a Bot? I literally looked up "Chris Matthews Iraq War" on KZbin. Sure enough, nothing but Chris Matthews ripping people apart over supporting the invasion and the war. Lmao!

[@mrdancerism]

In the beginning Chris Matthews did not oppose the war. He even called a talk show host unamerican for his opposition to the war.( The host lost his job). When Bush was on the navy ship declaring 'victory, Chris mentioned Bush and Mt. Rushmore in the same sentence.

[@TheSnoopy1750]

+mrdancer I guess Mathews just hopes people have poor memories. I hate when GOPers do this and Matthews is just as bad in this instance.

[@indaks007]

"Dont lump us together" but you just lumped 1.6 billion muslims together

[@rdchili69]

+Akshat Tiwari Yeah, bill is being very hypocritical in this show. I think the Republicans broke him at the debate lol.

[@beaburciaga5988]

You amaze me Bill Thank you so much

[@G__M__P]

7:50, funny how in US you are so used to pseudo-politics that even Bill Maher doesn't know the meaning of the word "populism".

[@djamo1969]

Gian Marco Pinna He was saying that he didn’t agree that there was a global trend toward populism at the time. Perhaps it’s your pseudo understanding of the English language.

[@KanishQQuotes]

Well Pakistan made nuclear bomb and American government still sends them aid

[@Bamboo4U2]

+kanishq ruhil Meh. Cold war leftover. The Russians backed India so we backed Pakistan. In hind sight, it was a poor decision, but we needed access to Afghanistan so...it is what it is.

[@blastitude]

+Jake Jones it's the other way round. US decided to buddy up to Pakistan after Indian partition. Pakistan initiated trouble with India (fairly regularly, might I add) and India's option was to ask Russia for help. Fast forward to now - US still isn't a big fan of India being Putin's buddy, but India (and indians) like uncle putin. Kind of a soviet hangover.

[@blastitude]

E George well US was already chums with pakistan a while before that happened. America has a history of picking bad friends in the middle east. And Russia just picked the ones that America didn't i.e. India. Regardless, the point is American friendship are motivated by cheap oil and perhaps selling defense equipment. No surprises that Pakistan is still an 'Old Friend'.

[@tenofivelips]

+kanishq ruhil It's funny no one really talks about Pakistan but they are one of the real dangers.

[@blastitude]

monokhem that didn't stop them from asking USSRs help

[@michaelwalker5102]

I would love to know where in L.A. Bill interacts with mexicans, I seem to have a very different experience living in a mexican vadeo. No more coddling people because they're a minority,... John Cleese was absolutely right when Bill interviewed him a while back. I don't think any of these people have the right to speak for the middle class populations problems.

[@robinsss]

+Michael Walker Mexican immigrants share some of America's valuesthey are family oriented and conservative like many Americanswhat Bill is not understanding is that Mexicans never assimilated into American culturemany don't want tothey stay within their own culture

[@michaelwalker5102]

+robinsss ya, it's called inbreeding.. they don't have a family tree, it's more like a bush.

[@gernm18]

+robinsss I agree. But as a Mexican/American who has lived in both countries, I'd say what American culture? In Mexico, we watch movies, we are consumers and plenty are fat too. We got people that love greed too.. is that the culture you mean? or is it the love for guns and war? I'm curious. Bill is right that at least we don't want a theocracy (even though we have a lot of Catholics). I think Mexican culture is about enjoying the simple things like food, music, friendships/family, sense of humor, and I will say that maybe we have a better relationship with mother nature. We let animals roam free. We definitely take it a bit slower than gringos. We relax more. We grow more of our own food too. In the USA I noticed a lot of people think being "busy" all the time equals being happy. I'd describe it as lust for money or to succeed. They don't appreciate the simple things. There are exceptions of course, but they are few. It's like nobody trusts each other in the USA too. It's hard to want to assimilate in that culture when you are always seen as an outsider even though many of us Mexicans are from the southwest.

[@michaelwalker5102]

+gernm18 the Mexicans in my neighborhood are not as respectful as you describe.... its more like a Latino version of deliverance... and non of the positive aspects you point out are not true in my hood... maybe it's like that where you live, but not in Norwalk, Ca.

[@robinsss]

gernm18 some big differences between the cultures are Hispanics won't frequent venues that whites go to ( clubs , restaurants, etc ) won't date outside of the Hispanic community are more conservative overall than whites Hispanics seem content to stay within their own culture rather than venture out and explore other cultures

[@SapphOfLesbos]

Jorge Ramos sounds like Robin Williams doing an impersonation of a latin man ;)

[@tariqbrown6406]

"why are we all lumped together?" - Bill Maher (when speaking about journalist) proceeds to lump BILLIONS of muslims together for the actions of a couple thousand.

[@sh__10]

+Tariq Brown What to all journalists have in common?

[@thorium222]

+Tariq Brown Islam is a vile bronze age set of lies and nonsense to manipulate the gullible for personal gain of the clerics and the ones in power, as is Christianity and every other religion. You really can't compare that to the journalistic code, which surely hasn't the same poisoning effect on minds. Of course there are tons of good muslim people and Bill has admitted that time and again, but they are good people despite of their religion. Have you read any of the vile stuff in the Quoran? It literally says kill atheists and apostats. Islam is indefensible and Bill is attacking it rightfully and anyone who takes that garbage literally. The world would be much better of without any religion. They all claim to know the one holy truth while there is no evidence or reason for any of it and they have nothing to show for.

[@tariqbrown6406]

thorium222 I agree (I'm an agnostic atheist) but Bill Maher isn't objective when it comes to religion. The Quran is no different from the Bible.

[@thorium222]

Tariq Brown True, the Bible is the same, but you have to admit that Christian fundamentalism on the scale of Islamic fundamentalism is a thing of past because Christian societes have undergone an age of enlightenment. So Bill Maher is right to focus on Islam and Islamic terror. They are truly much worse nowadays.

[@tariqbrown6406]

AquaticBoardwalkEngineer The bible says the same exact shit... you sound dumb.

[@williamoverton7414]

sometimes the truth is counter-intuitive abstinence education for example. disarming in times of peace is weirdly unpredictable.

[@amunoz1070]

Wow, Chris Matthews. Are you that sensitive about what Jorge Ramos said that was absolutely true? I like Matthews at times, but he's full of shit with his claims that he ALWAYS was against the war. Bernie Sanders was against the war, Michael Moore was too, but don't try to pretend that you were always on the same boat as them and the few others that were against the war in 2001.

[@davidmoyer2149]

Thanks, Bill, that was one of your best...from beginning to end. Your "new rules" should be played before the next Republican and Democratic debates. However, I think poor Pataki did not help his floundering campaign by trying to defend his party with the same old talking points.
