Overtime: Rep. Dean Phillips, Ian Bremmer, Fareed Zakaria | Real Time with Bill Maher (HBO)

Bill and his guests continue their conversation after the show.

Fareed’s point is that, due to the electoral system, the winner of the presidential race will basically come down to roughly 50,000 people in 4 states (Georgia, Arizona, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania), residing in exurban counties (rural vote red, cities blue). Fareed will also further stress the point that those 50,000 people will in essence determine and shape current and future geopolitical events such as the war on Ukraine, and the rules-based international order led by the US. This is a critically important issue in view of how the isolationist and nativist the Republican Party is becoming, and how destabilizing the withdrawal of America from the world would be. -Fareed Zakaria on the Prof G show

He needs to stop referring to every group of people as his brothers and sisters. They're not. Voicing support for other groups is fine, but making statements that imply he's "one of them" will just piss them off. That, and it just sounds fake and patronizing.

@@MultisportOfficial Actually we need more people to call our fellow citizens our brothers and sisters. We are all supposed to be one family and love each other as such.

He is 'one of them' in that he is a fellow American citizen. It only sounds fake and patronizing to someone who wants to divide us rather than bring us together.

FYI, I looked up Dusty Johnson and, despite being a Republican, seemed like a good, hard-working, sincere individual. I saw a little video of him and he was hard at work, concerned about public service, and wasn't at all show-boating. While I don't know Johnson's position on anything, it speaks well of Phillips that he admires the hard-working, nerdy legislators over the Prima Donna's.

You don't know his policies on anything and did minimal research. Now you have an informed opinion of him?

[@billyakin3301]

@suomynona4607 BOTTOM LINE; Adjusted for inflation, the Rich have gotten Richer and the Poor have gotten Poorer with every administration since Ronald Reagan including the Clinton administration and the Obama administration and now the Biden administration. That is a trend that is the undeniable truth. Bipartisanship didn't change that trend during the first two years of the Clinton administration or the first two years of the Obama administration when Democrats had CONTROL. Biden's administration may have had a slim margin in his first two years, but DID NOT fight for policies that would have made a difference. This trend will not change as long as we have a CORRUPT CRONY CAPITALIST TWO PARTY SYSTEM that is """CLOSED""" to economic fairness. What happened to the "Fight for Fifteen" as an example? With every economic negotiation, the Poor, Working Poor, the Disabled, and Senior Citizens are being pushed further and further into poverty. Again, adjusted for inflation. A inflation that has now made $15 a joke in metropolitan areas across this country. Sure, the Republicans have been COMPLETELY bought off, but this economic trend could not have been accomplished without collusion with Neoliberal Corporatists in the Democratic Party. Bipartisanship is the shared CON.

[@EthanTowsley]

After meeting Dean multiple times in person in Manchester NH, its interesting coming back to these early Bill Maher videos. Most notable that you didnt see here is that he went to Trump rallies outside just to talk to Trump voters to hear their issues. He was upfront and told them he wouldn't pander his policies, but that not enough Democrats listened to the other side of the aisle. From there he even invited them to his rallies as long as they were respectful. I saw him at two events. At the first, a MAGA hat heckler had to be removed from the room, at which point the others standing with him apologized to Dean (who was answering one of their questions) and the other they cheered for him and thanked him for not pandering to them but at least hearing them out. He is oddly honest to the point its off putting but his heart does seem to be in the right place. Especially he directly shot down the third party run as he doesn't want to jeopardize the white house, but wants a younger head of state and also to force debates to happen. The most impressive thing I saw was the at same rally as the heckler. Two candidates also on the ballot question ambushed him, and instead of kicking them off he invited them on stage, let them pitch themselves to voters, and asked why they ran. This was at his event, with a very high likelyhood of those attending to vote him, yet he potentially risked that pool to hear the other opinions in the room.

The whole world is lucky AF that the US has President Biden and his team at this moment in world history. Given the circumstances and even in spite of the circumstances he's performing absolutely incredible.

[@juanitaheieck8316]

It's unfortunate that DieHard Trump followers absolutely refuse to see that. Can you imagine if Trump was president at this moment in time? Then again, maybe Putin would have held off until he was out of office to go after Ukraine, like he did.

I will surprise you…what kind of BS is that? Like it’s a damn game??

[@CptApplestrudl]

Wow, one episode he hears about Phillips running and he's on the next episode. Did Maher invite Marianne Williamsen or Cenk Uygur yet? They're the other two primary contenders, if you didnt know.

[@IDontBuyIt50]

Cenk has spent years whining about Maher, he has become nothing more than another blowhard who thinks their view is the only view.

[@sherryluna8325]

Who?

[@awakenacres]

The democrat primary is rigged so it doesn’t even matter who is running. Sure you can protest vote, but the DNC will choose who they want as their nominee.

[@brittanycrawford731]

Phillips has Steve Schmidt running his campaign think he’s familiar with Maher. No labels 2.0 running mate will be another plain type of Schmidt s record holds there. It turned out so well for our country voting for the ppl hiring and listening to these strategists for our so far ! What could do wrong? Lol

[@JimRobinson-colors]

I commented above - since cell phones and internet scams the only people that will answer personal questions are people that are stupid. So if the polls are leaning toward Trump, then that just makes my point clearer. Haven't seen accurate polls in decades. But the media dictates every poll as to how they cover the election. Bill seems to follow.

[@farmduck2762]

Here's a tangential question: I've heard Bill say a few times that he's off to Vegas from the show. Is there seriously enough money in standup for Bill to fly straight from a recording of Real Time to do a standup gig in Vegas? Does he have a permanent gig there? Why don't they just get someone else to cover the days he' s out of town recording his show?

[@Leonson1]

According to the internet he gets about $26 million a year to do the show, and makes another $10 million touring. So yeah, I'd say it's worth it to him.

[@ronblack7870]

yes there is enough. i mean carrot top has been in vegas for like 20 years . and his show is hilarious .

[@afridgetoofar1818]

Dude literally gets flown out on a private jet. Why wouldn’t he go?

[@Ward413]

I mean, stand up isn’t his only source of income. So even if stand up didn’t cover the cost of the trip he wouldn’t even feel it considering not only his HBO salary, which is generous by Bills own admission, but remember he had a piece of The Mets for awhile and did very very well on that deal. Like eight figures.

This was a mistake. Appearing on Bill Maher's show was bound to turn the Phillips candidacy into a joke, and he will have a tough time undoing that. On the other hand, it's nice to see a candidate who has a sense of humor... Always s sign of intelligence. If he had to be on the show, he might have opted put of the overtime panel. By being there, he lowers himself to their level.
