Real Time With Bill Maher: Overtime - Episode #227
• Real Time With Bill Ma...
Even though P. J. O'Rourke was Republican, he called out BS regardless of what side caused it. He did the dirty work of calling out everyone. He may not have been accepted by mainstream as much as he deserved, but he fought the good fight. RIP P. J. O'Rourke. 👼
He was also one of the funniest and insightful writers in the 20th century. Some of it aged well, some not so much. We need more social critics who can entertain while they tear down the bullshit.
Loved the friendly banter between PJ and Trumka, two individuals who left us this year on opposite sides of the aisle who we will miss.
I swear to God, P.J. O'Rourke is the funniest republican who ever lived.
Nice to see Jonathan Franzen on this panel.
Alan Grayson made the most sense on that panel even though he almost didn't talk.
Am the only who doesn't mind P.J.? :/
PJ seems ok to me, better than some of the people he has on.
Bill here our cries, let Cenk on your board.
Nicole Wallace....my favorite republican. At the very least the best looking.
WE WANT CENK WE WANT CENK WE WANT CENK
Cenk needs to get on this show!!
The problem is overcrowding AND lack of motivation on the part of kids to learn; people don't want to learn for the sake of learning they just want to learn for the sake of making a profit. As Einstein said, Imagination if more important than knowledge!
anyone who dislikes unions has not studied the industrial revolution.
The other nightmare is the parents that get TOO involved with their kids education.
I hope he doesn't invite O'Rourke back on the show.
Really O'Rourke, you had a Eureka moment about Chinese workers needing unionization but not US workers? Wages are depressed, household income is about that of 1980, the divide between upper 5% and the rest of us is at its widest. Who represents the average worker, if not unions?
This comment aged like milk. He knew why you do not unionize.
That's amusing. I hope you've learned more about unions since writing your comment.
if herman wasn't black would bill use the "getting in his grill line? " thought that was funny
Alan Grayson for president!
The last thing politicians want is greater GENIUNE attention given to education. The more educated a population is, the more likely they are to see through the BS that is the average politician's bread and butter. The more erudite a population is, the more likely they are to see that there is very little difference between your average Democrat or Republican candidate, and that both are bought by corporate interests, and such a widespread realization would ruin the lives of politicians.
I'm sorry but I wasn't aware that we were still in the industrial revolution. Unions were needed back then and they were a good thing but are no longer needed in today's society.
@12quillemall5321 read up on "Liberal Arts" on Wikipedia. The first meaning was the stuff FREEDMEN (liberated) got to study, how the world works, holistically, versus the slaves who were expected to get a skill and be narrowly confined to that job "stovepipe". How much of education today is all about "job training"? I see violations of correct debating almost daily, because I got a Liberal Arts backdrop while the Fox News army did not.
RIP O'Rourke
Franzen looks exactly like a guy who is trying to suppress a bowel movement the entire time... Poor guy seems terrified.
Jonathan Franzen is nervous.
Without unions, whats to stop corporations from treating people like shit just like they did before? they proved they were capable of depraved shit before I'm not giving them the chance to do so again. Profit motive is not a good motive, learn some sense.
And don't even get me started on teacher unions.
no one blames the teachers, its the power of the teacher unions.
O'Rourke is right. There are crappy teachers but the quality of a school has a lot to do with the students and their parents. Also school is basically babysitting/hangout center for older kids, rather than a learning place. People can't expect to learn much in school. They have to learn themselves. Some of these teachers barely know the subjects they're supposed to be teaching. Some of them only became teachers cause they couldn't do anything else.
Get Cenk on!
Maher asked Grason, "Do you think you could win state-wide election in Florida?"
FUCK that! I am voting "Representative Alan Grayson of Florida" as my write-in candidate for PRESIDENT!
Diverse panel Bill. White Male #1, White Male #2, White Male #3, White Male #4, White Male #5. Oh...and a "White" woman. But it was the time you say? That argument is gone now.
Since when did Webster's Dad become President of the AFL-CIO?
Any chance we get to watch Real Time from Europe?
Pretty disappointed that Alan didn't make any comments on the education question seeing as how it was about congress and he was a congressman/is one again now.
P.J "anything works without that nothing work"
YOU DON'T SAY
Fucking invite Cenk already Bill
@NorseMariner7 Screw Cenk. Bill should have Alyona Minkovski (The Alyona Show on RT) on Real Time. She's bright and articulate. She also hosts an online news program similar to TYT.
if you can't write a sentence without using the F word, trust me, it's not the teachers.
PJ should stick to travel books, leave the big important thoughts to people who have done actual research into it. Hey there's an idea for a new book, PJ goes back to school or tries to get a job rather than get an exorbitant amount of money from that libertarian think tank...
Oh, like you've written a book? Ha ha
How come no-one wants to grab onto the national primaries idea? All I can think of is financiall affluence. Guess what? In other places (that aren't America) there are systems of governmental campaign finance to ensure some level of equity to candidates. E.g. all candidates, who get the signatures from enough people to run, get an equal share from a pool of money. They may or may not be able to add to that from their own money. Regulate it. Equal playing field. Plus - less money wasted on adds.
Spoken like someone who knows no Chinese people, never been to China and know nothing of China.
GET CENK UYGUR OF "THE YOUNG TURKS" ON THE PANEL!!
ok after watching almost all of these overtime vids I thought wouldn't it be great to have Gene Simons on this show
Please Bill.. Never bring back PJ, he was really annoying.
PJ seems a bit wasted.
@ASexyChef Since when did I throw parents under the bus? And that's not the issue, there are students with degrees coming out of college to a workplace that was imploded through no fault of their own and can't find a job because of that, not because of bad teaching or bad parenting.
PJ seems to be oblivious to this fact or willfully ignoring it, both cardinal sins of Journalism, if he still claims to be a journalist anyway.
and don't even get me started on profit motive.
@ASexyChef Ok, but there is a significant number of children whose parents are too over-worked and poor to spend extra time with their kids. There are parents who suck but there are parents who just worked 2 back-to-back shifts at TGIFridays and collapse into bed the moment they get home.
poor P.J. he is kind of lost with out Hunter
Look in China and Japan, kids don't come straight home and jump on the tv and play games, they study for another 5-6 hours. The wars won't be fought by soldiers, it will be faught by the well educated and idiots ie we americans. Parents need to be as involved with their kids education and how they learn.If you want our children to succeed you have to get them to learn as much as possible. Don't be afraid of the 5yr old with a cell phone who thinks they can call the cops, u r responsible till 18.
@12quillemall5321 I beg to differ, I was born, raised and educated in a third world country (Venezuela) and got a good college education in a public school for about 300 dollars a year (1500 total for my 5 year Bachelors in physics). In fact most countries in South America (which you probably would consider third world) have pretty good access to free public education for all, from K to college, and in fact, people fight to keep it that way, and make education more accessible to all (Chile).
So...PJ O'Rourke is drunk.
LoL. Have people always called him that? I always call him that and I thought I made it up :(. Perhaps I just stole it from somebody.
Who the fuck is PJ and why is he on the show?
Is it just me, and the weed, but do Bill Maher and P.J. Old Wrinkles look alike? I mean if one wasn't union and the other wasn't confederate you would think they were related somehow. You know what, I'm fucked up, fogettaboudit.
im a lib but if ron paul wins the republican primaries im going republican
Bring Cenk Uygur on the show. That would be a hell of an episode.
So that makes them all devoid of personality... how?
@1313elsanto I beg to differ. Venezuela's is far from being third world. It's closer to being another socialist country. My parents are from a third world country called Honduras, where public education ends at the 6th grade. You have to pay for an education that goes beyond basic arithmetic. At least they learn two trades, sewing or farming.
Here in America, we are basically babysitting because a child with a physic education is just as likely to find a job, as one no education.
It amuses me the fact that the very same Country that sent men to the Moon STILL have 'questions' about the FACT of Evolution...
Again: Evolution, same as Gravity, hold a 'technical' name which is Theory. But is, in practical terms, same as Gravity, a FACT.
@ManicExpression1980 I couldn't agree more.
I hate when he has these old unfunny comedians on.
@Saufm you get hbo in Europe?
No, you're thinking of Mark Pryor, Democrat from Arkansas.
@greedlusthate try adding his last name 'uygur' to the search or in case I spelt it wrong search for 'tyt cenk' or 'the young turks
Cenk'
FYI it's pronounced 'Jenk Yoo-Gah' :)
I've never seen this cat P.J. O'Rourke before... he's a horse's ass.
He's not as bad as you think. He does political satire and can actually be fairly funny. His book "eat the rich: an economic treatise" was recommended by Greg mankiw who is a highly esteemed econ professor at Harvard. It does a pretty good job at explaining economics to the laymen in a humorous manner.
I'll check it out Jay
Michael Barrett I think he's absolutely right~~~ It's not the teachers, or their unions, or tenure!!!! it's the stupid parents and their stupid, rude, un-motivated kids!!!!!!!!!
garfieldisgod I agree with your point there for sure. Regardless of the education system's problems, any kid who studies hard will succeed and learn.... and those who refuse to work hard and place all blame on the schools will fail.
I was being a little harsh on kids. When, actually, the problem of education is fueled by many societal factors. Too many distractions from video games, violent, selfish tv shows and movies, disinterested parents and peers, and learning problems of a physiological nature also. All of life influences a child's learning. I forgot to mention economic disparities among children. Well-to-do families tend to produce children who get ahead. I was told in college orientation booklet I received in my 1st semester that students attending university with "luxury money" have a high advantage (proven statistically) over students who have to work and worry where the money is coming from; while in school. I, like many, tend to spout out slogans; and for that I apologize.
Regarding education; as the saying goes "it's complicated".
Also, public schools have been a huge boon to western society, as are public hospitals and public insurance. But you would actually have to leave the states to see that. Also remember that non-profit charities are very successful in helping others, and do not forget that most religions are considered non-profit organizations.
but we all know that the last part about religions is a lie the rest is 100% true
@Garrett2142 Not really, he had a lot of good points, maybe too subtle for such wits like you,
@steviesbackbitch is cause of lack of "Regulation"
@12quillemall5321 i can also disagree with ya comment alil cause at the same time until ur able to think, and read books and also keep things in context, hey Im poor, i did and still do, all what i just said.. Rich tho i dont at all seem to keep things in context and when they do they are well ya know.... I'm not to sure why ya just said this tho but consider that....
Who the fuck is Cenk? I Googled the name, and it was a cute, twinky Russian boy. While it was pleasant, I still want to know who people are talking about.
Well, he is Irish.
Come on, have Cenk on the show already!
@eggiex1,
And? Oh wow, another person who is biased and preaches from an established ideological background. At least he's not a lying politician. I've never heard either Cenk or Maher claim to be unbiased and that's why I respect them unlike O'Reilly.
@anywayokay It got bumbed because off mahrs anti iraq war comments.
@greedlusthate Check out "The Young Turks". He's also on "Current Tv".
@12quillemall5321 oh puhleez! Some of these so called students are monsters, then you meet their parents, and you understand why.
Agh. Everytime I see PJ O'Rourke on TV it's like he's trying his hardest to never say anything even remotely funny or relevant.
@420gma My bad!
I wouldn't say "too much" power, I'd probably go with, "all the wrong" powers. Unions deserve a big say, but some of the practices I have heard that teachers unions in the states is down right silly, if true of course.
Cenk.
first...just saying
chris christie is a great governor
@elfred1980 No
