Coleman Hughes was ignorant of the fact that CRT actually doesn't "equate whiteness with evil and blackness with moral superiority". CRT does no such thing. It doesn't say that all white people are evil and all black people are good. It says that racial dynamics in the US have disadvantaged many black Americans over generations. He hadn't actually done that much research about CRT...or he just chose to misrepresent CRT with his audience, and he assumed he'd be believed. Hughes incorrectly defined colorblindness - colorblindness is defined by ignoring or denying the existence of racial differences. MLK didn't advocate for colorblindness. MLK did recognize the need to address and rectify the historical and systemic injustices that disproportionately affected Black Americans.

@@barcrafty817 I saw him on the show, and his previous appearance on the show. If Bill Maher is calling you a liberal, you’re probably not a liberal. I never called this guy a racist, I was saying that by spreading right wing talking points, there will be a portion of his audience that will vote for republicans. I saw this in 2016, when Hillary Clinton assumed that he had the Bill Maher and Sam Harris audience, and part of that audience got Donald Trump elected.
6:16 Maher "You can't lie on the SAT." Flanagan "Unless, of course, you're Felicity Huffman." Maher "But, that's not the SAT." No, Bill, it was the SAT. Felicity paid $15,000 to have the answers changed on her daughter Sophia Grace Macy’s SAT in 2017.
@@joeberg3317Felicity didn't pay someone to take her daughter's SAT. Her daughter took the test, but Felicity paid someone to correct her daughter's answers after she finished the test. Her daughter didn't know what was going on, until she and her mom got arrested.
She also lied on the college application about her involvement in some sports, to get in, which I think was the bit he was remembering from the story when he said "that's not the SATs.."
I know! I'm so proud he's finally made a landing on the national stage. Would loved to have seen him with Killer Mike on last week's overtime! Those 2 need to be on a panel together!
The value to Carlson's Putin interview is that as the saying goes, there are three sides to every story: your side, my side and the truth. Putin's side may not be completely true, but if we know our side and we know his side we're closer to being able to figure out the truth than when we just knew our side. The problem is that there are people who are so invested in our side of the story that they don't actually _want_ the truth to be known if it doesn't line up perfectly with our side, and the truth rarely lines up perfectly with one side or the other.
Earlier in the show Bob Costas was suggesting that some day one way children might be prepared for competition against the opposite sex would be with hormone therapy. He might consider what the effects of these substances have on pre-pubertal and pubertal children before even speculating.
and she said what was most important, it's about men, which she said correctly then bowed to political correctness and said trans, it's misogyny, no one cares is Ellen Page tries to compete against men, you can't turn an clitoris into a penis, you don't see, women in drag trying to do story hour, this is all about politics, pushing an agenda on children to indoctrinate them, normalized it, when it's not based in facts, science, real science, biology, reason, cosmetic surgery, drugs , don't change your gender, show one study of humans changing their gender through evolution, just one, you want to have surgery/drug yourself, after 18 on your own dime, fine, but quit trying to force your cult/ideology on others, specially children, who don't have the mental/emotional intelligence to understand it@@blackout07blue n
As a biological woman, I have no idea about biological boys/kids/men "Wanting puberty blockers, specifically female hormones.". Damn I had PMS and period pain since the day one. I had to be in bed for eight days. Then the period blood cloths. Bleeding heavily that I needed to change Always or the other ones, every other hour. Not being able to have sex, while bleeding. Oh those damn Estrogen and Progesterone. Getting pregnant by accident. Why the hell would men want to become women? OH and that puberty blocker Lupron that they use at kids, my Dr. was injecting me to stop the period, I became suicidal. My therapist called my Gyno and tolled to stop injecting me that, because it made me suicidal.
I have seen kids that eat "chicken that lift weights" what does to them. Bigger kids, more developed girls. Hormone therapy is happening by eating hormone-induced meats.
What a stellar panel! So glad Coleman is on the national stage. Imo, he's the leading intellectual in solving racial issues in this nation. Such a brilliant, common sense panel. Lovely episode

He did make some points but overall it just sounded like a bunch of mumbo jumbo .. and don't take that term as a racial insult. For the most part it just sounded like a lot of nonsensical palabra.
He was also an insanely popular manager. And yeah, only kids think wrestling is real - and even then it's because of wrestlers like Cena etc. who do amazing work with Make a Wish and the Special Olympics etc. As we get older and more, cynical (sigh, so true though) I guess, not to mention realize that wrestling is you know, staged entertainment (like most entertainment is lol) and we just enjoy it as such. I hate the "wrestling is just soap opera for men" way of describing things, but it makes sense.
Well I am old enough to remember when John Stossel got ear boxed by a rabid professional boxer when John was interviewing him and suggested that it is not real, it is just entertainment... John lost hearing and got a big cash settlement...
That segment sounded like a smug newspaper columnist from the 1980s who takes himself way too seriously. "Attention everyone, I'm so smart for realizing this is fake!".
What he meant was as a "sport" they could be subject to drug testing, but as scripted entertainment, they arent. "The pre-determined aspect of professional wrestling was publicly acknowledged by WWE's owner Vince McMahon in 1989 in order to avoid taxes from athletic commissions." And of course none of that had anything to do with their name change to "Entertainment" in 2002 from the WWF moniker they had used since 1979.
THANK YOU!!! and he's so smug about it too. I still remember hearing about the lawsuit and how weird it was. Also, in my personal life I actually use "do you actually believe that other people believe that wrestling is real" as a test for how out of touch people lol I swear to God. He got everything so perfectly wrong it sounds like I'm making this up on the spot, but I learned to do it in college. It's the only really interactive entertainment out there where the fans are asked to play a role in the story telling. Literally no one older than 20 believes it's real.
The World Wildlife Fund filed a lawsuit against the World Wrestling Federation for infringement of their brand, and the judge presiding over the case found in the organisation's favour.
@ericminch Found in favor of the World Wildlife Fund. Obviously since the wrestling organization changed their name versus the other way around. Regardless, both are true. WWE changed to that due to the lawsuit and to make themselves more of an entertainment company other than a true sporting league.
I don't know anything about the subject he discussed, but I am fairly confident that, like most anti-woke people, this guy did not tell the whole story and likely misrepresented something. The who antiwoke agenda has made Maher and his show tiresome.
@@gheller2261I don’t think he’s anti woke. I just think there are issues with it regarding our children. I’d be asking what is causing this explosion of kids who don’t feel right in their bodies. It begs many questions. Something has gone awry.
Imagine any of these guys talking about Tucker Carlson being a puppet for Putin and everyone of them believe Hillary lost the election because of Putin just insane!!!
Bill’s dumb jokes and ensuing pregnant laughs at said dumb jokes waste too much precious time in this tight 10 min segment. Wish Bill would rapid fire the topics for the guests and gtfo the way as we know where he stands on EVERYTHING.
Our own president isn't subject to those types of interviews with corrections and hard questions. But when its someone you don't like then all the sudden its the journalistic standard. Given Bill's recent Newsom interview, no he wouldn't correct Putin and yes he'd let him say that.
I couldn't believe my ears when Coleman said that Bill would push back hard on Putin, simultaneously implying that Tucker didn't. He interjected multiple times saying that he didn't understand what relevance that was supposed to have to today, and asked him multiple times why he didn't invade as soon as he got into office if all of that stuff was the reason behind it. Maher hadn't even listened to it and he was judging it, repeating Hillary/Maddow by calling him a Putin propagandist. The most absurd part is that the people being most critical are also the ones who are the loudest in saying that Putin is an evil authoritarian dictator. Isn't that the type of person who would jail and/or kill someone if they got into a straight-up argument with him? It makes no sense. They just only want us to hear one side of it. At least Bill was willing to state that interviewing the leaders of adversarial states is something journalists do, but then he followed up that statement with propaganda from the people who want to keep laundering money through Ukraine and supporting the slaughter of their citizens just to try and take out some of Russia's troops, all the while weakening America's standing as a world power and hurting our economy. He stated on a recent podcast episode with that valuetainment guy that he doesn't follow the news. We all need to remember that he's a comedian, not a news anchor, and certainly not a journalist. Also, if he doesn't follow the news, then just how much of his material could he even be writing on his own?
Costas is F AWESOME-mince no words about Dump in the most elegant way and centrist common sense on issues discussed💙Still remember him with Pink Eye calling the Olympic. My eyes still hurt!
Costas also destroyed Biden by saying Biden needs to step down from running immediately and let someone younger and more electable run. I loved it. We want to win.
Many years I worked at a small independent local network and we aired WWF every Sunday morning. One Sunday we had technical issues and it didn’t air. When we can in on Monday morning, the office answering service was loaded with people cursing us up one side and down the other. I know the frustration of missing my favorite show (before streaming) but I never would have thought to call the station and cuss people out.
Because most normal guys need to see large men strutting around in tights and fake grappling with each other, on a regular basis. And you messed that up.
@@blackout07blue "to realize we need someone other than Biden in order to beat Trump," if ANYONE votes for trump, they hate America. if there are enough ppl who hate America for trump to win, then it won't matter if Biden or someone else is running against trump. trump tried to stage a coup. he tried to overthrow the government. sorry, anybody votes for him after THAT, Biden or whoever doesn't matter.
Great show. Caitlin js great on the show as alway. Coleman has an outstanding podcast - and Bob Costas is an absolute icon. Love the Bobby Heenan quote.
My late uncle was a “jobber” when the old WWF toured around Upstate New York when Vince Sr. was still alive and running the company. (Jobbers were local guys paid a little $ to loose intentionally to the touring crew). One of his main trainers, “Gorilla Monsoon”, used to tell the new guys that wrestling was “choreographed”. Unless two guys had an issue with each other. Only then would a “shoot match” take place. This was to show who had the better skills.
To be fair, Tucker was the there to interview Putin, not correct him in a very scary setting. I was surprised he asked about bringing Evan home. Tucker has balls of steel if you ask me.
I could appreciate the WSJ thing, credit where it's due, but dear god Putin just rambled on with nationalist grievances for 90 minutes while Tucker nodded weakly. It wasn't even the messaging Tucker was clearly feeding him about NATO expansion or whatever. I don't think it was a big hit for either of their brands tbh.
He was also dealing with a translator too while Putin was plowing through that information. Maybe he was trying to keep up and maintain a straight face, while also being a bit intimidated. At least he went there and asked questions. The whole interview aired and a lot of people are looking at snippets and listening to hearsay. In fact, I recall Tucker interjecting about 20 minutes in (paraphrasing here) “Mr. President, thanks for the history lesson, but what does this have to do with your invasion into Ukraine?” Putin got agitated when he did that and said “if you’ll allow me to finish” and insinuated it would make sense.
You sound like a pissy high school girl lashing out at the prom queen. You somehow think you're somehow more intelligent than Costas is? And if so, can we see some examples that might convince us... you know... when you get putting your claws away. @@jayray448
He has some good points, but CRT is now what he says it is. You should not believe what is said about it, but instead read the original authors. My guess is that you will be surprised what it is, that you find in unobjectionable and then should be angry at people who completely mischaracterize it. It is really not very radical at all.
@@gregcable3250 I bought that line for a long time. It was born from leftist views from the 60s, but the term was definitely co-opted by newer and broader applications of the social justice critical theories basket.
@@Traderbear You have a point Traderbear, but that does not make lying about or mischaracterizing a theory or hypotheses right. For a long time I was told about "Marxism" and what it was and was not -- then I read almost everything Marx wrote and was scratching my head about what I was told. It was all a lie. Same thing with many other things. As with most people I had not heard of CRT until just a few years ago an then went and read the original ideas--and again, saw that what was being said (or allowed to be believed) about it was a big fat lie. But I am in complete agreement with you that co-opting for misleading applications is just as bad.
@@Thedecider1984do you think the WWE is real? The concern is many do thinks it's real..... And they vote. Eek. Some might also think that if you get off watching others fight, you might have very different values.
About 20 years ago, Vince McMahon was on Bob Costas's show, "Later." Costas asked him how many fans believe pro wrestling is a bona fide competition. He said about 2%. It's much less than that now. It's seen as nothing more than an athletic soap opera that we all have fun with, and try to predict how the next chapter will unfold (a.k.a "booking").
@@redomega24 Incorrect. The show as a whole did very well comedically. Real Time can be inconsistent laugh-wise, but this episode was not one of those. Also, with Costas' pink eye thing, Overtime had laughs, too.
BTW, at the beginning of WWII, in addition to Germany attacking Poland, Russia attacked Poland as well. They split the country between them. Later on, the two buddies had a falling out...........
Yeah.... the whole "He blamed Poland for the German invasion" thing was bullshit. He actually addressed the reasons for why the Soviets (not just Russia) participated in the invasion, which was in retaliation for the polish invasion and pogrom in modern day western Ukraine. The USSR and Nazis were never buddies though, they just intended to invade the same target for different reasons and signed a temporary non aggression pact. There was no falling out, both sides knew it was temporary.
One of the few times, IMO, that the two-guest panel format was good...But I wish he would have three panelists, as the current situation allows Bill to ramble on too much!
This episode is the most unleashed I've seen Bob Costas. He needs a show on HBO (and not that sports show he has/had) where he can say all the things he's never felt safe saying on other networks that dared him to go off script.
Costas dragging pro wrestling is odd when you consider he appeared on WWF programming back in the 80s and interviewed Bobby Heenan on his "Later" show.
He took shots at it when he called the 1998 NBA Finals, and Rodman and Malone were set to appear in WCW with Hulk Hogan that summer. They got into on the court during the games, and Costas made some derogatory comments about their extra cirricular activites. So, I guess he's had this opinions since the late '90s.
The WWF switching to WWE had zero to do with steroids. The World Wildlife Fund, which owns the W.W.F. trademark, forced WWE to stop using WWF. In addition, to avoid outrageous sport event taxes, the official company's legal entity became an entertainment corporation, rather than sports, again, nothing to do with steroid use.
Exactly. Costas is so bang on with so many of his facts and opinions (as I usually agree with them) that I'm surprised he said all that. Steroids had nothing to do with the name switch.
I was going to post your very comments. On May 6, 2002, the World Wrestling Federation (WWF) changed both its company name and the name of its wrestling promotion to World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) after the company lost a lawsuit initiated by the World Wildlife Fund over the WWF trademark.
@@kbscott923 I wouldn't say 100 years, but since the late 60s at least yeah. Many guys were juicing on stuff available at the time, but I'd say from the late 70s into the early 90s when steroids became a big issue for all sports etc that's when it was a big deal in WWF and wrestling in general.
@@Rocknroll73 Indeed, it really threw me off, because even i, as a non-wrestling fan, knows that. Although to be fair, i still remember that name change as it did confuse me as a kid.
not the only one, genetics are a bigger factor then people assume, most assume any time the happens they paid for it, just not always true. Ivanka has had surgery and very good jobs but Lucille Ball did not, she changed a lot from 0 to 20 and not much from 20 to 60 and finally aged from 65 to 77. No surgery or reverse aging, just genes in her case. My wife was pretty and got carded until her 30's but aged quickly in her 50's. I still look the same, I will probably be like Lucy and sudden decline when very old only hopefully not until my 80's. Bob could be the same or not.
Caitlin Flanagan was spot on about Governor Gavin Newsom....As a native Californian and Democrat I would not wish Gavin Newsom on the rest of the country. I wish more Californians would wake up.
Look...Newsome would be like having Bill Clinton back in office!...Mostly flash, not much substance. But, we need that kind of dude in the white House right now!..I speculate though, that is Gavin does run for President, his ex will spill some very nasty beans about his personal life! She now is involved with the Trump folks!
Lol no actually that was the only thing she was completely wrong about. I'm a native Californian too and the state is still as fine as ever overall. Oakland has alwaus had a reputation as a dangerous place as far back as the 90s so nothing new there and not on Newsom. If anything Newsom's biggest problem is that he's too centrist as is.
@@svscared Oh dear "The Bubble" you live in must be real cozy. Your "Oakland has always had a reputation as a dangerous place as far back as the 90s" So screw them attitude is fabulous.

Absolutely nothing wrong with doing or listening to the Putin interview. You don't have to believe anything he says, but you should know what he is saying.
@@blackout07blue They clearly have not actually listened to the interview. He doesn't cheer Putin on. He merely gets Putin's view, without interjecting his own, which his exactly what he should do. He even tried to get Putin to release a journalist Putin had accused of epsionage and taken prisoner.
hey big fan. just wanted to say i can hear the same, loud laughing lady in every episodelately. im sure sit-in laughers are helpful but it's quite obvious lol
I love Bill but he could be such a smug, out of touch prick about things that your average Joe worker knows. I remember years ago when he first learned that servers in restaurants only make $2.30/hr.
It's scripted because when you have big stars who bring in millions, why would you risk injuring them and taking them out of the ring or out of promotional events?
I would say most wrestling fans from the early 90s on knew it was predetermined. Sure, there are those who believe the kayfabe stuff and might even believe the matches are "real". But I'd say once WWF and WCW started doing the backstage stuff in the 90s and especially in the early 2000's most people realized what it really was. It's mostly a suspension of belief situation in that regard.
Great to see Bob Costas on the show. I don't know how informed Costas is on current world affairs but his maturity, insights and wisdom on baseball, the Olympics and sports marketing is admired. I recall Costas doing color commentary during many different World Series games and many Chicago Bulls games during the Jordan era ('87-'98) and he was fantastic. A delight to listen to in because of his passion & his integrity with respect to accurate & fair reporting. He used to live in the St. Louis area so I'm tempted to say that he is/was a St. Louis baseball Cardinals fan. The only other person who was as good at announcing, in my mind, was Tim McCarver who is the former Cardinal catcher. He was also very knowledgeable. For example, he could explain the different options of a "squeeze play" with a runner on third, with say, one out against a left-handed pitcher and the tying run on first base. And, for example, how it's less effective against a right-handed batter. Same with Costas. Bob Costas is just such a trusted person with his huge amount of credibility. Which is not to say that others aren't. Maybe it's just my perception because he seems so "scholarly" however, like or dislike, I don't believe that anyone can say that he wasn't the best color announcer than the network had. NBC has long been known to hire the best. In the 70's it was Tony Kubiek and Joe Garagiola. As a 10-15 yr. old, I couldn't wait until Saturday afternoons to hear them announce with a lot of passion. Same thing with Costas. Yet, I liked Costas so much because he studied baseball and could, for example, tell you what Bob Maserowski batted in a certain year. And, you talk about stats. Costas knows ALL of the statistics and reveals them with respect and admiration. Thank you Bob Costas.😮😮
Yes - Caitlin, we’ve been saying for years the SAT is one of the lone remaining “equal access” items to objectively evaluate students…… one of those things you Libs hate….
i didn't know liberals didn't like the SATs as a requirement. I mean it is impossible to do an ideal test. I do know they aren't an accurate measurement in outliers. For example I went to college early and thus took the SATs early, but had attention span disorders while taking it and did better in areas that are NOT my strong areas. I hardly remember this and I don't get all butthurt about stuff like that though, I don't even remember my score or anything. But the idea that it is an ideal test is silly -- it only tests how good you are at taking tests and getting trained by the "right" people. So fact is, you just hate liberals and wanted to "feel" right. I don't see how that makes you any better. Bc I can assure you, plenty of brilliant people have FLUNKED IQ tests (Thomas Edison, Einstein, etc.) which are another "standard" of testing. Sounds like you would do well in comparison to them though.
Even in an interview, you can point out if something isn't correct. Bill does it on his show on during his one-on-one segment in the beginning of the show all the time. He interviews, but if someone talks shit, he says so.
@@JayKay9112000lol. Tucker has been swallowing Putin’s fluids for years. And what was incorrect? Tons of stuff. Also said the war would end of US stopped invading. Zero followup from Tucker.
Any and all outrage over it is retarded. Plenty of journalists interviewed unsavory world leaders and figures in the past. Journalism is supposed to be about getting all sides of everyone's perspectives.
It seems that Bill has replaced the one person over-enthusiastically clapping and "whoo-ing" in the audience with an overly loud and robust laugh track that nearly drowns him out.
Tucker pushed back on so many things Putin said and did try to interrupt the 30 minute history lesson multiple times plus explaining it in the beginning. Interviewing someone isn’t as easy as just hammering them over and over again. He would have just walked out. Tucker at least had the balls to do it. He confronted him about the war, and tried to get him to talk peacefully and release the journalist locked up…somehow they missed those parts…Or maybe they didn’t even watch it
The arrogance of Bob Costas going after Tucker because Putin did not care for having an interview with him at the Olympics. Costas is not known outside of North America. So no wonder Putin did not give AF about him.
3 great guests. Now if Bill would quit interrupting them and making that disgusting chomping noise he seems to make every time he opens his pie hole, it would be a great show.
I love your show Bill always have sometimes you make me angry, but I get over it real quick because you’re bright and you seem to know what’s going on with the people and the world well maybe not the whole world but some of it keep up the good work…… peace
Sorry panel, the Tucker interview did much more good than harm. It was incisive where it needed to be. As an aside, ask yourselves if our president could go on with a 30 minute history of the US - even in his cognitive PRIME
NO it's not reprehensible, it's a human actually trying to show Putin's perspective, Good Bad or Evil. Let us decide. Let people see as much of it as possible.

I.E. an underweight anorexic makes progress until they are a healthy weight.

@@barcrafty817
I saw him on the show, and his previous appearance on the show. If Bill Maher is calling you a liberal, you’re probably not a liberal. I never called this guy a racist, I was saying that by spreading right wing talking points, there will be a portion of his audience that will vote for republicans. I saw this in 2016, when Hillary Clinton assumed that he had the Bill Maher and Sam Harris audience, and part of that audience got Donald Trump elected.
6:16 Maher "You can't lie on the SAT." Flanagan "Unless, of course, you're Felicity Huffman." Maher "But, that's not the SAT." No, Bill, it was the SAT. Felicity paid $15,000 to have the answers changed on her daughter Sophia Grace Macy’s SAT in 2017.
Bill doesn't go against anything that makes him look smart. So he did well on the SATs so they must be predictors of intelligence.
Paying someone to take the SAT for you doesn't seem like the same thing they were complaining about
@@joeberg3317Felicity didn't pay someone to take her daughter's SAT. Her daughter took the test, but Felicity paid someone to correct her daughter's answers after she finished the test. Her daughter didn't know what was going on, until she and her mom got arrested.
She also lied on the college application about her involvement in some sports, to get in, which I think was the bit he was remembering from the story when he said "that's not the SATs.."
@@ALucas73 True. Bill was remembering her other crimes.

@@blackout07blue especially because he's right....
The value to Carlson's Putin interview is that as the saying goes, there are three sides to every story: your side, my side and the truth. Putin's side may not be completely true, but if we know our side and we know his side we're closer to being able to figure out the truth than when we just knew our side. The problem is that there are people who are so invested in our side of the story that they don't actually _want_ the truth to be known if it doesn't line up perfectly with our side, and the truth rarely lines up perfectly with one side or the other.
Earlier in the show Bob Costas was suggesting that some day one way children might be prepared for competition against the opposite sex would be with hormone therapy. He might consider what the effects of these substances have on pre-pubertal and pubertal children before even speculating.
Yeah, but he was just saying that’s the only way it could be remotely fair…before puberty happens.
and she said what was most important, it's about men, which she said correctly then bowed to political correctness and said trans, it's misogyny, no one cares is Ellen Page tries to compete against men, you can't turn an clitoris into a penis, you don't see, women in drag trying to do story hour, this is all about politics, pushing an agenda on children to indoctrinate them, normalized it, when it's not based in facts, science, real science, biology, reason, cosmetic surgery, drugs , don't change your gender, show one study of humans changing their gender through evolution, just one, you want to have surgery/drug yourself, after 18 on your own dime, fine, but quit trying to force your cult/ideology on others, specially children, who don't have the mental/emotional intelligence to understand it@@blackout07blue n
As a biological woman, I have no idea about biological boys/kids/men "Wanting puberty blockers, specifically female hormones.". Damn I had PMS and period pain since the day one. I had to be in bed for eight days. Then the period blood cloths. Bleeding heavily that I needed to change Always or the other ones, every other hour. Not being able to have sex, while bleeding. Oh those damn Estrogen and Progesterone. Getting pregnant by accident. Why the hell would men want to become women? OH and that puberty blocker Lupron that they use at kids, my Dr. was injecting me to stop the period, I became suicidal. My therapist called my Gyno and tolled to stop injecting me that, because it made me suicidal.
Insanity
I have seen kids that eat "chicken that lift weights" what does to them. Bigger kids, more developed girls. Hormone therapy is happening by eating hormone-induced meats.
What a stellar panel! So glad Coleman is on the national stage. Imo, he's the leading intellectual in solving racial issues in this nation. Such a brilliant, common sense panel. Lovely episode
Agree, Coleman not only articulates his points so well, he has to be one of the calmest at presenting his arguments. So poised at such a young age.
Coleman Hughes was ignorant of the fact that CRT actually doesn't "equate whiteness with evil and blackness with moral superiority". CRT does no such thing. It doesn't say that all white people are evil and all black people are good. It says that racial dynamics in the US have disadvantaged many black Americans over generations. He hadn't actually done that much research about CRT...or he just chose to misrepresent CRT with his audience, and he assumed he'd be believed.
Hughes incorrectly defined colorblindness - colorblindness is defined by ignoring or denying the existence of racial differences. MLK didn't advocate for colorblindness. MLK did recognize the need to address and rectify the historical and systemic injustices that disproportionately affected Black Americans.
@@anneb889sounding smart doesn’t make him right
@@SchnellTim Agreed. But what makes him correct are his well researched arguments.
He did make some points but overall it just sounded like a bunch of mumbo jumbo .. and don't take that term as a racial insult. For the most part it just sounded like a lot of nonsensical palabra.
That WWE/F quote was from Bobby Heenan. A Pro Wrestling commentator. Everyone chill. No one except kids thinks it’s real.
He was also an insanely popular manager. And yeah, only kids think wrestling is real - and even then it's because of wrestlers like Cena etc. who do amazing work with Make a Wish and the Special Olympics etc. As we get older and more, cynical (sigh, so true though) I guess, not to mention realize that wrestling is you know, staged entertainment (like most entertainment is lol) and we just enjoy it as such. I hate the "wrestling is just soap opera for men" way of describing things, but it makes sense.
Wrong, and I'd bet at least a quarter of Maga crowd believe it's real and would fight you over it.
Well I am old enough to remember when John Stossel got ear boxed by a rabid professional boxer when John was interviewing him and suggested that it is not real, it is just entertainment... John lost hearing and got a big cash settlement...
That segment sounded like a smug newspaper columnist from the 1980s who takes himself way too seriously. "Attention everyone, I'm so smart for realizing this is fake!".
They are really falling down and through tables and shit. But all the pageantry and who wins is 100% scripted. It a soap opera.
They actually changed to WWE because WWF is World Wildlife Fund and they took them to court. Not for drug test protection
Just a benefit, huh?
Ugh I know
Bob is saying fake news 😞
What he meant was as a "sport" they could be subject to drug testing, but as scripted entertainment, they arent.
"The pre-determined aspect of professional wrestling was publicly acknowledged by WWE's owner Vince McMahon in 1989 in order to avoid taxes from athletic commissions."
And of course none of that had anything to do with their name change to "Entertainment" in 2002 from the WWF moniker they had used since 1979.
THANK YOU!!! and he's so smug about it too.
I still remember hearing about the lawsuit and how weird it was. Also, in my personal life I actually use "do you actually believe that other people believe that wrestling is real" as a test for how out of touch people lol I swear to God. He got everything so perfectly wrong it sounds like I'm making this up on the spot, but I learned to do it in college.
It's the only really interactive entertainment out there where the fans are asked to play a role in the story telling. Literally no one older than 20 believes it's real.
The World Wildlife Fund filed a lawsuit against the World Wrestling Federation for infringement of their brand, and the judge presiding over the case found in the organisation's favour.
I was thinking the same thing when Costas was speaking. I was like "what the f--- are you talking about?"
Probably some kind of tax thing too.
Because heaven forbid we make corporations pay taxes.
Which organization? They're both organizations.
@ericminch Found in favor of the World Wildlife Fund. Obviously since the wrestling organization changed their name versus the other way around.
Regardless, both are true. WWE changed to that due to the lawsuit and to make themselves more of an entertainment company other than a true sporting league.
@@gheller2261 he goes off on out there tangents like Howard Cosell use to, as if everybody could tell what was in his head.

I agree with what the young fellow said about kids in kindergarten and schools, interviewing Putin is ok let the people decide who watch
I don't know anything about the subject he discussed, but I am fairly confident that, like most anti-woke people, this guy did not tell the whole story and likely misrepresented something. The who antiwoke agenda has made Maher and his show tiresome.
@@gheller2261I don’t think he’s anti woke. I just think there are issues with it regarding our children. I’d be asking what is causing this explosion of kids who don’t feel right in their bodies. It begs many questions. Something has gone awry.

Good overtime Bill...thanks.
Bill’s dumb jokes and ensuing pregnant laughs at said dumb jokes waste too much precious time in this tight 10 min segment.
Wish Bill would rapid fire the topics for the guests and gtfo the way as we know where he stands on EVERYTHING.
it was terrible
Our own president isn't subject to those types of interviews with corrections and hard questions. But when its someone you don't like then all the sudden its the journalistic standard. Given Bill's recent Newsom interview, no he wouldn't correct Putin and yes he'd let him say that.
Lol. You’re right about Bill Maher and Newsom, but you can’t hate on Costas who totally destroyed Biden in this episode and told him to step aside.
I couldn't believe my ears when Coleman said that Bill would push back hard on Putin, simultaneously implying that Tucker didn't. He interjected multiple times saying that he didn't understand what relevance that was supposed to have to today, and asked him multiple times why he didn't invade as soon as he got into office if all of that stuff was the reason behind it. Maher hadn't even listened to it and he was judging it, repeating Hillary/Maddow by calling him a Putin propagandist. The most absurd part is that the people being most critical are also the ones who are the loudest in saying that Putin is an evil authoritarian dictator. Isn't that the type of person who would jail and/or kill someone if they got into a straight-up argument with him? It makes no sense. They just only want us to hear one side of it.
At least Bill was willing to state that interviewing the leaders of adversarial states is something journalists do, but then he followed up that statement with propaganda from the people who want to keep laundering money through Ukraine and supporting the slaughter of their citizens just to try and take out some of Russia's troops, all the while weakening America's standing as a world power and hurting our economy. He stated on a recent podcast episode with that valuetainment guy that he doesn't follow the news. We all need to remember that he's a comedian, not a news anchor, and certainly not a journalist. Also, if he doesn't follow the news, then just how much of his material could he even be writing on his own?
Not my president

Many years I worked at a small independent local network and we aired WWF every Sunday morning. One Sunday we had technical issues and it didn’t air. When we can in on Monday morning, the office answering service was loaded with people cursing us up one side and down the other. I know the frustration of missing my favorite show (before streaming) but I never would have thought to call the station and cuss people out.

Great show. Caitlin js great on the show as alway. Coleman has an outstanding podcast - and Bob Costas is an absolute icon. Love the Bobby Heenan quote.
My late uncle was a “jobber” when the old WWF toured around Upstate New York when Vince Sr. was still alive and running the company. (Jobbers were local guys paid a little $ to loose intentionally to the touring crew).
One of his main trainers, “Gorilla Monsoon”, used to tell the new guys that wrestling was “choreographed”.
Unless two guys had an issue with each other. Only then would a “shoot match” take place. This was to show who had the better skills.
Even though it is entertainment, you gotta admit that those wrestlers are in amazing shape, and very athletic. It is a strange way to make a living!
To be fair, Tucker was the there to interview Putin, not correct him in a very scary setting. I was surprised he asked about bringing Evan home. Tucker has balls of steel if you ask me.
Tucker is a wispy puppet of Putin. A strong, refreshing wind would dissipate Tucker.
I could appreciate the WSJ thing, credit where it's due, but dear god Putin just rambled on with nationalist grievances for 90 minutes while Tucker nodded weakly. It wasn't even the messaging Tucker was clearly feeding him about NATO expansion or whatever.
I don't think it was a big hit for either of their brands tbh.
LOL😂. Tucker was there to lick Putin’s balls and swallow. Tucker has been Putin’s spokesman for years on Fox News.
@@joeberg3317 Tucker did much more than nod weakly. He also kept up his confused look for 2 hours, and we also heard the odd Tucky whinny laugh.
He was also dealing with a translator too while Putin was plowing through that information. Maybe he was trying to keep up and maintain a straight face, while also being a bit intimidated. At least he went there and asked questions. The whole interview aired and a lot of people are looking at snippets and listening to hearsay. In fact, I recall Tucker interjecting about 20 minutes in (paraphrasing here) “Mr. President, thanks for the history lesson, but what does this have to do with your invasion into Ukraine?” Putin got agitated when he did that and said “if you’ll allow me to finish” and insinuated it would make sense.
Love Coleman Hughes. He'll make rationality cool again.

He has some good points, but CRT is now what he says it is. You should not believe what is said about it, but instead read the original authors. My guess is that you will be surprised what it is, that you find in unobjectionable and then should be angry at people who completely mischaracterize it. It is really not very radical at all.
@@gregcable3250 I bought that line for a long time. It was born from leftist views from the 60s, but the term was definitely co-opted by newer and broader applications of the social justice critical theories basket.
@@Traderbear You have a point Traderbear, but that does not make lying about or mischaracterizing a theory or hypotheses right. For a long time I was told about "Marxism" and what it was and was not -- then I read almost everything Marx wrote and was scratching my head about what I was told. It was all a lie. Same thing with many other things. As with most people I had not heard of CRT until just a few years ago an then went and read the original ideas--and again, saw that what was being said (or allowed to be believed) about it was a big fat lie. But I am in complete agreement with you that co-opting for misleading applications is just as bad.

@@redomega24 Incorrect. The show as a whole did very well comedically. Real Time can be inconsistent laugh-wise, but this episode was not one of those. Also, with Costas' pink eye thing, Overtime had laughs, too.
BTW, at the beginning of WWII, in addition to Germany attacking Poland, Russia attacked Poland as well. They split the country between them. Later on, the two buddies had a falling out...........
Yeah.... the whole "He blamed Poland for the German invasion" thing was bullshit. He actually addressed the reasons for why the Soviets (not just Russia) participated in the invasion, which was in retaliation for the polish invasion and pogrom in modern day western Ukraine. The USSR and Nazis were never buddies though, they just intended to invade the same target for different reasons and signed a temporary non aggression pact. There was no falling out, both sides knew it was temporary.

The season only started a few weeks ago
Ok, very good, should have said “since the strike ended”
This episode is the most unleashed I've seen Bob Costas. He needs a show on HBO (and not that sports show he has/had) where he can say all the things he's never felt safe saying on other networks that dared him to go off script.
Costas dragging pro wrestling is odd when you consider he appeared on WWF programming back in the 80s and interviewed Bobby Heenan on his "Later" show.
He took shots at it when he called the 1998 NBA Finals, and Rodman and Malone were set to appear in WCW with Hulk Hogan that summer. They got into on the court during the games, and Costas made some derogatory comments about their extra cirricular activites. So, I guess he's had this opinions since the late '90s.

The WWF switching to WWE had zero to do with steroids. The World Wildlife Fund, which owns the W.W.F. trademark, forced WWE to stop using WWF. In addition, to avoid outrageous sport event taxes, the official company's legal entity became an entertainment corporation, rather than sports, again, nothing to do with steroid use.
Exactly. Costas is so bang on with so many of his facts and opinions (as I usually agree with them) that I'm surprised he said all that. Steroids had nothing to do with the name switch.
They had been on steroids for 100 fucking years 😂 and now they change the name 😂
I was going to post your very comments. On May 6, 2002, the World Wrestling Federation (WWF) changed both its company name and the name of its wrestling promotion to World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) after the company lost a lawsuit initiated by the World Wildlife Fund over the WWF trademark.

That's some kayfabe facts, brother!
It's scripted because when you have big stars who bring in millions, why would you risk injuring them and taking them out of the ring or out of promotional events?
I would say most wrestling fans from the early 90s on knew it was predetermined. Sure, there are those who believe the kayfabe stuff and might even believe the matches are "real". But I'd say once WWF and WCW started doing the backstage stuff in the 90s and especially in the early 2000's most people realized what it really was. It's mostly a suspension of belief situation in that regard.
Great to see Bob Costas on the show. I don't know how informed Costas is on current world affairs but his maturity, insights and wisdom on baseball, the Olympics and sports marketing is admired.
I recall Costas doing color commentary during many different World Series games and many Chicago Bulls games during the Jordan era ('87-'98) and he was fantastic.
A delight to listen to in because of his passion & his integrity with respect to accurate & fair reporting.
He used to live in the St. Louis area so I'm tempted to say that he is/was a St. Louis baseball Cardinals fan. The only other person who was as good at announcing, in my mind, was Tim McCarver who is the former Cardinal catcher. He was also very knowledgeable. For example, he could explain the different options of a "squeeze play" with a runner on third, with say, one out against a left-handed pitcher and the tying run on first base. And, for example, how it's less effective against a right-handed batter. Same with Costas. Bob Costas is just such a trusted person with his huge amount of credibility. Which is not to say that others aren't. Maybe it's just my perception because he seems so "scholarly" however, like or dislike, I don't believe that anyone can say that he wasn't the best color announcer than the network had. NBC has long been known to hire the best. In the 70's it was Tony Kubiek and Joe Garagiola. As a 10-15 yr. old, I couldn't wait until Saturday afternoons to hear them announce with a lot of passion. Same thing with Costas. Yet, I liked Costas so much because he studied baseball and could, for example, tell you what Bob Maserowski batted in a certain year. And, you talk about stats. Costas knows ALL of the statistics and reveals them with respect and admiration. Thank you Bob Costas.😮😮
Yes - Caitlin, we’ve been saying for years the SAT is one of the lone remaining “equal access” items to objectively evaluate students…… one of those things you Libs hate….
i didn't know liberals didn't like the SATs as a requirement. I mean it is impossible to do an ideal test. I do know they aren't an accurate measurement in outliers. For example I went to college early and thus took the SATs early, but had attention span disorders while taking it and did better in areas that are NOT my strong areas. I hardly remember this and I don't get all butthurt about stuff like that though, I don't even remember my score or anything. But the idea that it is an ideal test is silly -- it only tests how good you are at taking tests and getting trained by the "right" people. So fact is, you just hate liberals and wanted to "feel" right. I don't see how that makes you any better. Bc I can assure you, plenty of brilliant people have FLUNKED IQ tests (Thomas Edison, Einstein, etc.) which are another "standard" of testing. Sounds like you would do well in comparison to them though.
You are arguing with a point you agree with? You ok man? Tribalism is harder to quit than cigs. Goodluck
lol like any person who uses the word "libs" knows how to objectively evaluate or comprehend the parameters of anything, ah the irony
The point of the Putin interview was hear his justification of the invasion of Ukraine in his own words. It was an interview not a debate.
Even in an interview, you can point out if something isn't correct. Bill does it on his show on during his one-on-one segment in the beginning of the show all the time. He interviews, but if someone talks shit, he says so.
@@SireJoe what specifically was incorrect and not just an opinion from an opposing viewpoint?
@@JayKay9112000lol. Tucker has been swallowing Putin’s fluids for years. And what was incorrect? Tons of stuff. Also said the war would end of US stopped invading. Zero followup from Tucker.
Seems like "overtime" could be 20 minutes instead of 10. But that's just me, enjoying the show and the guests.
We need more people talking sense like Coleman. I really like him.
John Stossel did a whole documentary in the 80's on how wrestling is scripted. I can't believe people don't know.
regardless of how we feel about the tucker/putin interview....no one should comment on it if they didnt watch it.
💯
Any and all outrage over it is retarded. Plenty of journalists interviewed unsavory world leaders and figures in the past. Journalism is supposed to be about getting all sides of everyone's perspectives.
😂😂 Tucker looked like a complete idiot. It was hilarious how stupid he looked. Putin is a moron too, but at least he has self-respect.
Caitlin has a divine smile 😀. Wow ❤
Whomever claps first and loudest wins!
Same goes for a trump rally after you're kids legacy goes towards his reelection!
It seems that Bill has replaced the one person over-enthusiastically clapping and "whoo-ing" in the audience with an overly loud and robust laugh track that nearly drowns him out.
What? I didn't hear you over my clapping!
Cant stand the first over enthusiastic claps. STFU! Every sentence isn't a good point and if it actually is they drown it out
Clapping from audiences have been around since the birth of television. Hello, it's nothing new.
Tucker pushed back on so many things Putin said and did try to interrupt the 30 minute history lesson multiple times plus explaining it in the beginning. Interviewing someone isn’t as easy as just hammering them over and over again. He would have just walked out. Tucker at least had the balls to do it. He confronted him about the war, and tried to get him to talk peacefully and release the journalist locked up…somehow they missed those parts…Or maybe they didn’t even watch it
😂😂 Tucker looked like a complete idiot. He swallowed for Putin that whole interview and for years now.
“Tucker had the balls” 😂😂 wut? Tucker is Putin’s #1 fan and has been for years. They’re basically teammates.
They changed the name to WWE because The World Wildlife Federation sued them.
Absolutely nothing about what's happening at the border???
Woke Kindergarten is NOT in San Francisco it’s in Hayward. Different city, different county, different school board.
Yeah, but to a grifter like him San Francisco better fits the narrative of his exaggeration
Also, okay so they got a suburb of SF. Boo hoo. San Francisco is an even bigger joke than that county on every level.
A panel of people who didn’t watch the Tucker interview with Putin commenting about the interview they didn’t watch.
Colman clearly watched it.
The arrogance of Bob Costas going after Tucker because Putin did not care for having an interview with him at the Olympics. Costas is not known outside of North America. So no wonder Putin did not give AF about him.
Don't need to watch it to know its not in good faith and just Putin pandering. Carlson is a disgrace to the US and so is anyone who supports him.
3 great guests. Now if Bill would quit interrupting them and making that disgusting chomping noise he seems to make every time he opens his pie hole, it would be a great show.
100%. I wanted to hear way more from Coleman Hughes if Bill would just SHUT UP and let the man speak.
lol idk why but this cracked me up even though I'm stuck home sick. "Disgusting chomping noise" lol

Get better soon 😎🇨🇦🎸
I love your show Bill always have sometimes you make me angry, but I get over it real quick because you’re bright and you seem to know what’s going on with the people and the world well maybe not the whole world but some of it keep up the good work…… peace
Caitlin Flanagan is dream material on every conceivable level.
Dude started the show by a absolutely roasting hundreds of thousands of wrestling fans on national tv for a quick laugh
Who cares
Sorry panel, the Tucker interview did much more good than harm. It was incisive where it needed to be.
As an aside, ask yourselves if our president could go on with a 30 minute history of the US - even in his cognitive PRIME
NO it's not reprehensible, it's a human actually trying to show Putin's perspective, Good Bad or Evil. Let us decide. Let people see as much of it as possible.
😂😂 you’re so gullible.
@@blackout07blue youre so stupid
There isn't half the country with Trump - only half the argument.
He's never had much but a third.
Tucker did ask seriously about releasing Evan Gershkovitz so there is merit in that.
ooo. How brave. And then let him ramble on about nonsense related to it.
Coleman Hughes! The more people who hear this guy, the better.
Nothing gets a cheaper applause than people shitting on Professional Wrestling. Just goes to show how much people dislike other peoples happiness
To Bob Costas: As a biological woman, I have no idea about biological boys/kids/men "Wanting puberty blockers, specifically female hormones.". Damn I had PMS and period pain since the day one. I had to be in bed for eight days. Then the period blood cloths. Bleeding heavily that I needed to change Always or the other ones, every other hour. Not being able to have sex, while bleeding. Oh those damn Estrogen and Progesterone. Getting pregnant by accident. Why the hell would men want to become women? OH and that puberty blocker Lupron that they use at kids, my Dr. was injecting me to stop the period, I became suicidal. My therapist called my Gyno and tolled to stop injecting me that, because it made me suicidal.
Overtime is worse now that it is being aired on CNN.
But Killer Mike said s**t last week before he got arrested
But Overtime is still better than the rest of the show
There are a lot of intelligent people that like wrestling. It's just theater.
Bobby boy likes MLB and NFL, I've seen far more drunk fans acting dumb and fighting at NFL or MLB games compared to wrestling events.
name two
@@Mickey-1994and wrestling ratings are better than some sports
Thought Bobs comments were rude and elitist
As an 11yo kid, back in the late 1950s, I was enthralled with the wrestling matches, often covered by local Seattle TV stations...I got over it, by the time I turned 13 or so.
Late great Bobby "The Brain" Heenan witb the greatest quote ever.
Bill! Ya leftBob hanging with the fist bump at the beginning
Of WWF fans: “They can vote! And they can breed!” Hilarious!
That’s why they called him “the brain”.
WWE... it's been emphasized and you can't seem to absorb it.
What’s scary is that the op can vote and breed……
You know, fans that KNOW wrestling is fake and don't drone on and on how it's fake etc. Aka, not morons who only think wrestling fans apparently don't know it's fake and are stupid hicks. Not to mention wrestling has been a kid friendly (at least WWE has, mostly) thing for decades now and is a global entertainment product.
@@phoenix5054 "L"
Not one person in 2024 thinks that WWE wrestling is real, what planet are these guys on that they think they're telling the world something that we didn't know?
We can access anything…literally anything on the internet and you object to the interviewing of the president of a country. Are we in 1933?
Bummer that i just don't have time to watch this right now, but if i may say, having really ONLY seen Bob Costas as 1st to baseball, & then all the other various Sports, his political ideology is a 1st for me: & i am very pleasantly surprised, but happy to now learn that he is indeed, on the correct side - of history!!
He is not on the right side of history.
If you're able, search/view the clip of Costas' exchange w/ John Gotti in a NY restaurant; quite entertaining.
@@MamboKing215 - i will try to find it!
@@MamboKing215 all i found was Costas trying to handle that the man told him that he 'liked his work;' & Bob not wanting 2b all that forthcoming with his opinion of him, but not gushing over him either??
@@marmac7619 correct; I can't remember the intv clip (may've been Real-Time sev yrs ago), but he was discussing running into him at a restaurant during the height of his regime, Gotti sent a bottle to BC's table saying to his crew 'it's Bob Costas...sports guy' to which BC replied quietly to his table, 'it's John Gotti...murderer'. The audience laughed, he stated he accepted the bottle outta respect but declined an invite to Gotti's table. Prior to that intv clip, I hadn't heard anyone refer to JG in that blunt truthful manner; usually idolized as the appealing anti-hero.
Love Coleman!❤️🤗☮️🇺🇸
Caitlin Flanagan is 100% right during this episode
Not a weak link on this panel!
apart from the two on the left.
Real Time with Bill Maher is equivalent of WWE. Entertainment , while it's viewers and audience think its 'Real'
It is if you live on the east coast, west coasts gets repeats, it is usually on CZcams before the west coast feed.
