Matt Schlapp Interview | Real Time with Bill Maher (HBO)

[@cachi-7878]

I love how Bill doesn't let go of the bone. Make them accountable!

[@robertallen485]

Cachi - .....2012 my Obama care, single male $120 per month, 2013 $210, 2014 $290, 2015 $380, 2016 $440, tax as 2017? $550! That's over a 400% increase in 5 fucking years. Affordable my goddamn ass.

[@robertallen485]

Cachi -...how long did it take Obama to admit a mistake.

[@bariumhydride2906]

Correct me if I am wrong: You say that your healthcare has increased? Isn't that what we were expecting? No Republican' plan has not started. If you are experiencing an increase, than that is due to Obama's plan.

[@NewMessage]

Best name EVER! As soon as he opens his mouth, you just wanna Schlapp Matt.

[@markscottames9277]

Bill Maher you are the man! Thank you for all your hard work and insisting on the truth. You are a catalyst of change for the better. You handled that with character. My hats off to you sir!!

[@TheDebbieDaily]

Great show as always Bill...I LOVE you!

[@bshwkrec.7189]

Bill is just a master, and I got to give it to Matt, he's a sport for showing. This is important, both parties should open up dialogues with each other instead of hating one another behind closed doors.

[@clook222]

Two people who disagree on principal on pretty much everything having a civilized and respectful discussion as well as a few laughs.

[@davidhollenshead4892]

"disagree on principal on pretty much everything" Actually they are both Patriots, but Matt Schlapp needs to step back and look at Führer Trump's Conduct Objectively, as he still is buying the Conman's BS.

[@vegastjg]

awww calm down you lame there were 4 swears the entire video

[@FilthyPeasantGaming]

You're a fucking fascist if you think calling Trump Fuhrer is either funny or accurate. Very disrespectfull too of the people who actually fought hitler. You're a disgusting human.

[@FilthyPeasantGaming]

LOL and you would call trump popular right now? are you insane? Judging someone based on something he COULD do vs something he DID is very different. And what the fuck are you afraid of ? What group does he actually hate? name one that isn't some extreme leftist lie and I'll grant it to you. You think he's going to kill all the gays? he has no plans for them. Hell do you know who was initially against gay mariage? OBAMA.

[@FilthyPeasantGaming]

I'm Canadian. Again, what are you afraid of? "Hitler" implies he's going to kill millions. Yes he's an idiot when it comes to climat change, but that's not hitler level bad.

[@gknz18]

hats off to bill on this one, he did a fantastic job keeping this guy in line

[@dotdominy230]

Thank you Bill Maher for being up front to everyone.

[@mcuembedded]

He's turning on the democrats. A bit too late but he sees why a lot of people think AOC is way more crazy than Trump is.

[@superfly2449]

Getting Donnie's apologists to face facts is like trying to nail Jello to a wall.

[@RedTitan5]

Yes and he grope a male genital...very conservative

[@redwarcube]

Bill I love to c u work ! :)

[@Odima16]

The world needs more good conversations across the isle. Keep these interviews up, Bill. :)

[@erickramer3050]

Bill...this is some of your greatest work ever.

[@dkkempion8744]

Understanding the problems with ACA isn't that hard. When insurers realized they had 22 million more premium payers they jacked up their premiums. It was purely a greed play. In turn, HMOs, hospitals, doctors (some), suppliers and pharmaceutical companies jacked up their prices - more greed. With *_that_* "excuse" in-hand, the insurers jacked up their rates even higher. In short, there was no regulatory cap in ACA to prevent artificial increases like these. All of the other claims about the failings of ACA, like extreme increases in services, are window-dressing designed to manipulate simple-minded people - on both sides. If you give a greedy corporate executive the opportunity to pad their quarterly numbers and "earn" a bigger bonus, then don't be *_FUCKING_* surprised when they do exactly that. But, alas, no one gives a shit about reality anymore.

[@in293yew]

I'm glad that you agree that single-payer, eliminating the insurance company middle-man, is the way to go.

[@dkkempion8744]

Danke.

[@blueberryshocker]

For as much as they didn't see eye to eye, I really appreciate the hug at the end and the, "You're not a bad guy".

[@davidblythe4758]

Thanks Bill. We all half to try harder. Thanks again.

[@Harts7Wild]

this man is sharp

[@gchovvard6265]

This interview reminds me of the debate atmosphere that Buckley's show "Firing Line" commanded. Thanks for the upload.

[@MyPedorro]

Dust off the gulliotine, Folks. Sharpen the blade. Tumbrils are rolling.

[@Jocular64]

One of the best challenges to punditry I've ever seen!

[@WanderingWaystrel]

My favorite part of all of this is that they really worked hard to find common ground. We need to learn how to do that in our lives

[@HEARTS-OF-SPACE]

According to Matt Schlapp, the saying goes, "Guilty until proven innocent.".

[@TheVanillaMonkey]

Good guest, love to see him again

[@lowellford3419]

The Criminal Justice Act 1990 abolished the death penalty, setting the punishment for treason at life imprisonment, with parole in not less than forty years.

[@Bug-sg1li]

See he got claps when he made fair points from liberal audience. Why can't trump supporters show the same class?

[@michaelpondo6324]

You cant make shit taste good and thats why you cant make trumptard taste good. No matter who tries to defend trump you cant because the man is a compulsive lier

[@mr.t8871]

Because liberal mouthpieces don't leave their bubble and talk to conservative audiences.

[@mrde0mrsai]

"A little bullshit." Wow. He's in his little universe.

[@jaroncreed]

you're an ass

[@OmniUniv]

jaroncreed I don't see how he's an ass it's kind of true when he spits false crap all the time

[@contactkeithstack]

mrde0mrsai right I would, PRO BONO, shovel JUST A LITTLE bullshit into his morning coffee since it's just a little spice to him.

[@danaandthedogs]

Well done Bill Maher- I would love to see both sides try this hard to understand each other! It only helps us understand why people support or reject certain things, and helps us change our rhetoric from hate/like certain people, news organizations, etc.. Matt Schlapp did a great job defending his position and I think he was HONEST. Bill Maher did a great job trying to UNDERSTAND... Honest understanding.. that's where we need to be whether our President is or not.

[@samhaupt6564]

I don't know much about Schlapp, but this interview was a great example of the kind of discussions that need to be had.

[@wohdinhel]

The more I hear liberals and conservatives arguing, where liberals are presenting concrete, immutable facts, and conservatives sit there with their thumbs up their asses going "nope, nope, that's not a fact, we have better facts"... I'm starting to feel that this is just a culture gap that simply cannot be closed. This gap is a result of absurd levels of cultural insulation and isolation between deeply rural and deeply metro sectors of the country, almost akin to North and South Korea, where even the very words that we use have entirely different meanings now. To the left, "facts" are still facts, but to the right, "facts" are simply the opinions of their Dear Leader (Trump, at the moment), regardless of whether they carry any sort of weight. "Lies" are lies, unless you're a Republican, in which case they're "alternative facts". I don't even think they're making this shit up anymore - I'm starting to think they *really believe it.* And this applies to pretty much all Americans who still believe that the Democrat/Republican dichotomy is still a valid and functioning system, not just to politicians, because the American people are still eating this shit up. If we actually had sane, moderate people in the country who care about things like "facts" and "reality", then they need to get their asses out of bed and VOTE. My only glimmer of hope for the future of this country is that this will be The Promised Administration that so intensely exposes how batshit insane Republicans are, it causes their entire party to whiplash into irrelevance. People like to call this dichotomy a pendulum (I see alt-righters saying shit like "this is just the pendulum swinging back the other way" all the time), but it's gotta hit a wall somewhere, and if we're lucky enough to survive their bullshit, I can't imagine it not crashing and burning at the end of this administration.

[@XantiaD]

Jesus - trying to get anyone near the new regime to answer a question is like juggling jello.

[@paulthomas1165]

You're gonna tell me, "Mr. President, we are so tired of winning all the time". Yeah right!

[@michaelpondo6324]

Im sick of winning. Its imaginary thats why we ain t winning

[@alankoslowski9473]

'The mad king actually saw a 12' bunny on the lawn.' Sums up Trump perfectly.

[@ReidandShane]

Bill Mahar, you did a great job holding back!!!

[@CameronDSmith]

Wherever conservatives are in power, truth and humanity suffers.

[@kingjahrecording6597]

bill is my guy i wish he was on cnn or msnbc sorry hbo

[@johnnoecker8471]

Matt Schlapp seems to have already mastered the somewhat newly refined book of GOP alternative facts; version 2017 !

[@quettareynoso6175]

YOU ARE AWESOME MAN!!!!

[@mrjdbrn]

Once again. To give Bill a lot of credit for bringing conservatives on his show

[@joemorelli5374]

I want an investigation on weather Blue and Red are the same color. :-)

[@priyankapradhan5667]

Joe Morelli 😂

[@grandadgator]

I respect Matt Schlapp, in this interview, more than most other trump supports, at his level, that I've heard on the Real Time. He had the courage to not only come on to the show but also be, at least at times, politically and intellectual honest and I respect that.

[@mattrandolph7212]

bravo Bill Maher bravo

[@xelaphilia]

Maher's tactique: If your conversational partner comes up with an undebatable argument, interrupt him and make sure he can't get to his point.

[@debbiegreen5963]

as a Christian that loves bill and respects his atheism matt sure nailed him with the church joke

[@goldenhawk9322]

This was when he began. Honestly... 4 years later... Trump still has control over of the party.

[@margueritehudsell4454]

I debate every issue in my head. Therefore, I cannot pledge allegiance to any specific party.

[@rievans57]

Bill Maher must uderstand that you never ask the devil an open-ended question.

[@tylerkeller8869]

Bill Maher is a national treasure.

[@sanjuansteve]

Talking to Drumpf supporters is like talking to a wall as it relates to empathy or logic.

[@SomeSurvive]

this guy will do anything to please daddy

[@lauraelizabeth1789]

This is what Bill does best....he's fearless in confronting bull crap ....and he is informed.

[@DestroyerMariko]

This was one of the better disagreements I've seen

[@goldenhawk9322]

Hey Bill, don’t forget “You can have everything,” from Trump.

[@abhinavsrivastav8677]

Relax guys. You haven't been to 2020 yet

[@MMcGuire5]

I swear, these people are overly prepared for questions. They know exactly what is getting asked, and exactly how to deflect. Why can't people just answer questions directly?

[@faithallen4040]

It's a little late for making an alternative health care plan, you had 7 years already...

[@martinstuemmler1494]

I know for a fact, that "Schlap" means "schlaff" which means limp, slack or flabby. I am german so i knkow. I would like to ask Bill notheless if i should care. You gys have a wonderfull way of talking to each other, I admire that. (But) where do we draw the line? Since Picard is big in the MMedia again? sry

[@MangoMando1776]

lol, "What success has he had?" "He became President." Literally every President ever has done that. Participation award much?

[@MrDavidBFoster]

Finally, someone on TV said the "T" WORD!

[@manuel0578]

Politicians never admit that they were wrong and they certainly never apologize

[@in293yew]

Obama did when he discovered that he screwed up. Just saying.

[@Millsiac]

Anyone else burst out laughing at, "I think that was quite an extraordinary tweet"?

[@deluke227]

I like this.

[@cilginkosucu]

Matt is definitely one of the best interviewees Bill has had on his show. He was reasonable and could understand why Trump is insane. It seems he supports Trump more compared to others that were in the field but not as a candidate he loved.

[@lodougherty]

After having watched this, if people could just admit when they or others are just wrong... we'd make so much more progress toward the future.

[@igunashiodesu]

I've been distancing myself from Bill Maher lately, but his analysis of the Trump twitter allegations, congress and Putin is spot on. although I should also add that the guest is also

[@vmcelvis]

@8:30 is it "treasonous?"...... thx Bill for asking for a "real" answer...and getting a real answer

[@TheRealSlobo]

The guy At the and said I tried I did my best...hahahaha entire political scene is a hostage of a child lol

[@equianodevonte2301]

Bill Maher goes hard every day.

[@boogerz2000]

Trump is a modern day Caligula, we can only hope it ends the same.

[@manuel0578]

Truth was never alive

[@Honeycombe88]

Damn straight, Bill. You have a way of using language to zero in the main point of something.

[@korpulian]

2 more shows with Bill and this Matt guy is the next Glenn Beck.

[@annhoward3444]

Dope

[@annastracke8555]

Matt Schlapp- appears to be "not a bad guy", I second that.

[@flamechick6]

Love Bill! lol

[@ethanc4603]

Bill's new hairstyle rocks. Sorta Retro '90s. Pocket Square is cool, too. HBO Style.

[@leebp9106]

Clearly the majority people watching this disagree with Schlaff. However the most important thing is that these two guys can have a conversation without calling each other an idiot. More of this generally please.

[@shdw787]

just saying but; can we all stop calling it "Obamacare" and start calling it "The Affordable Healthcare Act"!

[@debgeer2008]

Finally! Some reasonable dialogue.

[@johnmusim]

I know the interrupting each other and not letting points finish is due to show time constraint but man I'd prefer to see these conversations play out. I think its a big part of what's damaged our political discourse on all interview shows.

[@christineforbesforbes2324]

emergency nurse here. Yes people abused the ED because they had no primary doctor. Lived in Massachusetts and we had mandatory health care from Romney before the rest. It got better. If you don’t give people health care when they are critically I’ll and dying you the taxpayers will pay a shitload more. Grow up

[@darfoggy1644]

This fuckin guy has the beediest "I may have made this word up" eyes I've ever seen.bill killed this smuck

[@count23all]

Matt Schlapp - never met a question he couldn't avoid answering.

[@chukwudiilozue9171]

I'm glad he could admit some of it is wrong

[@ShawnC.W-King]

Schlapp needs to be SLAPPED 😂

[@jamieslaght]

Left wing and right wing working together to lift the bird. THANK YOU.

[@shack276]

I'm a hardcore liberal, but I'll give our president and Congress a fair shake. Now it's 100% up to them to replace Obama care! My guess is they can't do any better.. only the name!

[@k.-flynn]

Jason Shackelford why the fuck would you give them a fair shake? Trump colluded with Russia and cheated his way into office, and the health care bill they suggested just blew up. you're an idiot if you're a hardcore liberal and this is how you display you're a fair person.

[@jamertheramer240]

Wish Bill Maher was a reporter on a news network. TV journalists need to learn how to press anyone they have on.

[@loneneko]

The one thing I absolutely agree with bill maher on is HRC vs Trump damaged this country to a degree we've never seen before.

[@itsmiahtime]

In the end what's going to be so Amazing, is when Trump and his supporters finally fall flat on their faces, and we who knew this was wrong and would happen can stand tall and do the "I told you so" song and dance! It will be such a satisfying moment. I'll dust off my tap shoes just for the occasion.

[@dawnlawless8809]

And the President was right about the tapping!

[@MrDavidBFoster]

This raises the question: _"Do ALL used car salesmen grow up to be Republicans?"_

[@Darsig67]

This guy is a typical MEpublican. Spin, spin, spin......

[@umpygoodness2369]

THAT's why the Dems are the REAL villain. EX: It's IMPOSSIBLE to lose any election to a Repug.... but the DNC is funded by the SAME WALL ST that funds the GOP. YOU DON'T THINK IT'S INSANE that the Dems NEVER EVER point out that no conservative practices what they preach or has EVER ONCE KEPT THEIR STORY STRAIGHT??? EX: ALL any Dem has to say is "the GOP SAYS COMMUNISM IS THE BEST: POLICE, MILITARY, CIA, FIRE DEPTS", every time, and the GOP loses. WHY do dems and the press REFUSE to take the GOP out? A: cuz all are PAID by the same Establishment.

[@miloinindo]

He didn't let the guy respond to the questions. He didn't give him a fair hearing.

[@68pmpope]

"an extraordinary tweet". Wow!

[@brunsta234]

Dude bill has been taking NO bullshit lately 😂😂😂😂😂 I love it

[@davidconnolly1130]

Doesn't it defeat the purpose if you only discuss things you can agree on?

[@margueritehudsell4454]

My gut belief. If the US Constitution loses, freedom to worship would be seriously affected.

[@kevboard]

fun fact, in german both "matt" and "schlapp" are words that can mean limb, dull, or tired

[@Alcagaur1]

Matt The Nuch-Schlapp, the facade the Republicans wheel out when even they realize they've gone too far.

[@kirkepsilon1844]

2:51 Bills face 😄

[@truthhurts3524]

“Who knew health care would be so hard?”
