"If you have selfish, ignorant citizens, you're going to get selfish, ignorant leaders." (George Carlin)
tRump does bring out the worst in people it seems.
Yea.. its not Washington, it’s US
@Nic Berni and a large majority (god knows how large these days) don’t even know what sincerity is.... well...we’re getting close now... didn’t need to happen...
Yup he also said "Garbage in, Garbage out"
@Nic Berni LOL, GREAT POINT
If a Congress-person requires no skills, perhaps THEY should be paid minimum wage...
They make their real money from lobbyists. The salary does not matter.
Also..1 term and out the door no reelections...WTF they don't do a dam thing and get paid for it too!
@@SM-xo3dv They do. Ask a CEO, who is taxed at a lower rate than us, or US INDUSTRIES that are subsidized by taxpayers, or the military-industrial complex, which is mass murder workfare.
@Forty Six It's the same side of the coin, same playbook. What's actually environmentally good is typically not what any politician utters. We would not need controlled burns or Forest management if we had controlled our human growth and been much less about dominating the natural world for human greed. Best to also look at the mountain top removal in West VA and the Fallout from fracking--we also have that in CA and have had it since the early 1900's. trumps job was to gut the EPA and deregulate as much as possible--but those supporters of his in rural areas will suffer the most--well their children will--but don't you worry trump will never have to answer for anything he did to destroy the environment because the right few people got richer and those are the folks of the real deep state.
@Forty Six You are still an idiot. The US Forest Service fought EVERY wildfire for over a century. That is the reason for all the deadfall. The preservation of so much old growth in California compounded the problem. Hardly anyone has ever gotten rich off environmentalism. That is a false equivalency propagated by the obscenely wealthy oil and mining companies that have been destroying the biosphere for centuries and environmentalism for decades, using the same PR firms tobacco companies used.
"The difference is, the Walmart employee actually quit." The burn though...
That was one of the best closings he has ever delivered.
siiizzzzllleeee
It was true a year ago and each election the republicans weed out more that don’t fully support there Donald. Is April 2023 NRA convention and he is full on fascist mode if you catch any of his speech.
What a shame I can only give this brilliant rant only one thumb. It deserves a 5 star rating.

Trouble is Republicans are much too dumb to get this one! Loved it.
These are some seriously scary times we live in today
"That's better job security than a pedophile priest." Ooh, I felt that one. Bill hadn't been that savage in a while. Love it !
@Aaron D. Digby, Sr. 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️ People, How about you try spending one day without being offended by sthg that doesn't warrant it.
Let me explain the punchline : It wasn't so much a joke as a witty observation that actually makes a criticism of the fact that pedo priest face no consequences, that it's a well-known thing and that Congress people are, just like them to an even greater degree when it comes to accountability, which makes it all the more shocking and disturbing.
Nobody's saying pedophilia is a good thing or sthg to laugh at. I serves as a hyperbole, google the word. And yet, your tiny little brain couldn't do the math, could it? If I was you, I'd delete my comment and think hard before using your twitter fingers next time and embarass myself. Do better ! SMMFH
I don’t know how he’s not in courtrooms constantly, to defend all the lawsuits against him. But I’m glad he’s not. Damn, he’s funny.
@@MrRichmiles can't be defamation if it's true
“I felt that one” a poignant choice of words.
@@antoniop3352 didn't notice that one till you pointed it out 👍😂
"you don't actually have to do anything" you realize you just described perfectly the junior senator from Illinois.
Why only the jr. senator from IL.? Is it because she’s disabled and sits in a wheelchair? What are other senators or even the senior senator from Illinois doing that she’s not doing? I think you’re only being disrespectful and discriminatory! Plain and simple
I've only recently discovered Bill Maher and I love him!
George Carlin said it best, "It's a big club and you aint' in it."
that's why they hated Trump.
@@MrShnazer You think Trump was an anti elitist? He mooched off millions of dollars in secret service protection and procrastinated to Flordida every weekend. And no he doesn't get points for donating 400k after stealing millions more in charity money and being the laziest president in the last 4 years.
Impeccable my arse.
@@MrShnazer he was just as bad if not worse. derp.
@@eec589 - … and it turns out in Trump’s final year he even lied about donating his salary. Now he rakes in millions from his idiot cult followers, who send him their money to allegedly overturn the election, and of course he just pockets the cash.
I love Bill Maher he pulls no punches
Love this guy, tells it how it is
Go Bill go!!
I’m glad there is still someone who has not sold out and calls them as he sees them. Thanks Bill
Term limits for Congress and the Supreme Court are desperately needed.
How i almost always vote.against incumbents...
They sure are. But who among them would vote themselves off the gravy train? Sure, Republicans are known for voting against their own self interests but these are the same people who create the facade to scare voters into those dumb decisions. There would need to be an overwhelming number of voters who will refuse to re-elect their rep and any candidate that doesn't support term limits. There simply aren't enough politically informed Americans to pull it off.
@@thebigjimmyd
I think a 15 to 20 year term limit with a mandatory retirement age of 75 would be appropriate for the Supreme Court.
@@davidbrisbane7206 I'd be on board with 16 years which could be 2 full presidential terms. If you have that, you don't necessarily need a forced retirement age. But that should be the case in Congress. It's scary that people who got their first email address 5 years ago are now in a position to create laws on the Internet and other technological advances they know nothing about and could therefor bring about inadvertent & irreversible consequences.
@@thebigjimmyd
So true.
Thank you, refreshing to finally see someone be (rightfully imo) critical of both sides!
Yeah, it's so unfair to just pick on one side. Wasn't it the Democrats that was responsible for the Watergate scandal? Oh, that's right, it was the other side. Wasn't it the Democrats that invaded Iraq for weapons of mass destruction and didn't find any? Oh, that's right, it's the other side. Wasn't it the Democrats that got a bunch of stupid, ignorant , redneck hillbillies, to attack the Capitol? Oh, that's right, it was the other side. Bill Clinton's b****** at the White House don't seem that bad does it ?
Whether you're positioned to the left or the right politically, I think we can all agree we are in deep trouble in this country.
Just saw this and I have to agree. It’s over.
Yes, and no thanks to people like Bill Maher, who feeds from the same trough, and is as dishonest as the people he ridicules. He is a shameless hypocrite I cant stand him.

"This is the best we can do. Garbage in, garbage out." -George Carlin
Donald Trump was a superlative president! Name one single solitary policy that hurt your life and did not make it better in the four years he was president. Man! You get so obsessed with his personal life! What do you want to do? marry him?
@@Rbl7132 I think you meant 'murder' not 'marry'.
@@payanyprice4710 you have a disorder. It's called extraordinary hate. I think if you could dismember and eat Donald Trump you would do it. You're very sick person. He's the greatest American hero in the United States history! And that's an absolute fact! Where is the Constitution of the United States right now my friend! It's being destroyed. You're standing there is a communist criticizing the last man to defend your freedom and your business.
@@Rbl7132 Who said anything about Trump? Lol perhaps it is you who is obsessed?
But if I had to pick one policy 🤔 I'd say his Foreign Policy being the same as the past 7 or so president's has hurt every American and made the Country less safe... It seems Biden is going to continue the same policy...
@@payanyprice4710 tell me one thing Donald Trump did wrong for you or America. Other than make you jealous that he's a winner even of the 2020 election.
When he walks in and asks for the best table, you know what they say? Sir this is a Petsmart! LOL
Maher hit that one out of the park.
i've honestly never understood why elected officials, particularly at the federal level, don't have to pass some kind of civil servants exam. Postal workers and clerical staff have to pass but not anyone elected and thus conrolling the federal budget or transporation or housing etc.
They don't even have to pass a drug test!
Honestly. You look at the credentials required to enter the civil service for jobs in STEM - a chemistry position in the agencies like the Patent and Trademark Office or the Dept of Agriculture/Energy/Defense, a biology position at NIH/FDA... all of these positions typically require a Master's Degree or PhD - even a BS in STEM isn't super common as a credential anymore. What's more - industry usually pays better than the civil service for these position.
But Congress? Please. You can be on the Budget Committees without a degree in Business, Economics, or Finance. You can be on the Science Committees without a degree Chemistry, Environmental Studies - hell, we've had Creationists on the science committees before.
Because that would curtail democracy. If people want an uneducated, stupid, evil piece of shit, they should be allowed to elect that. Of course, they shouldn't want that; but do you want any restrictions on who you can vote for? That's not democracy; that is tyranny.
Demanding to be governed and by any average idiot that happens to turn up is insanity personified.
@@Matthew-ve7uv there's all sorts of restrictions on who can run for office... From age requirements to citizenship status to address of residence... You can't run a fork lift without certification and a negative drug test but you can work in Congress without a high school diploma.
Term Limits! For all these scandalous politicians.
This is the best summation of congress I’ve ever heard.
If I knew then what I know now, I would have moved to the south and run for Congress. I mean... if George Santos and Mat Gaetz can get elected. The Road Not Taken. Damn.
"sell out your country on it's most fundamental principle",,,,, well said Bill!👍🏻
“No boss?” Wrong. Corporate donors, they’re the boss.
Dead on
Ouch! you are right there
I00% correct
Valid point!
@@kallehallden4855 Yep. Maher helps keep this duopoly going by his basic philosophy...
Republicans are bad, and the Democrats mean well but make a few mistakes.
They are both the party of war, student debt, no livable minimum wage, shitty health care, fracking, exporting crude oil, surveillance state, etc.
“We don’t need better elected officials, we need a better electorate.” - Christopher Hitchens

Good luck getting a better electorate when half the Congress and senate think you shouldn’t even present an ID to vote
@@deewadefan3408 Sure. Because as we all know, it's vital that we fix things that aren't broken.

@@deewadefan3408 The people trying to restrict voting are the ones who believe in lies, not the people who are being restricted...
Thank you Bill.
. You are the first person to call this like it is. I said exactly that in a comment, a while back. They are just deplorable. I love your straight talk.
The best ability for a congressman is the ability to lie.
And for supporters to be gullible.
And persuade others they are as pure as the driven snow. ( Or at least not as dirty. )
@@jeremyedge890
Ha, good point.
The science deniers have no idea what you're talking about.
...and to hold their hand out.
Well that's really stupid.
I've been saying this for years. No on becomes a politician at that level because they want to help people. It's for the comped meals, people rushing up to shake your hand, everyone listening to what you are saying. It's for the prestige, not to help people. THIS is why we need term limits.
ESP IN THE SUPREME COURT
...and an IQ test and they must also take a lie detector test. Their bank accts should be monitored regularly as well. A DNA test is also a good idea.. to make sure they're even human. 😉
The supreme court should have equal members of each party and take a civil servant test. Also, limit the term...should not be for life.
@@cbailey2376 A test won't weed out anyone contending for SCOTUS. They are the type of people who've made their names doing all the extra work necessary to excel on pretty much every test they've ever taken - no matter the competition. Also, equal members of each party only reinforces the partisan image of the Court, particularly if all the divisive cases simply split along party lines. Not that our current system is great - far from it - but such a proposal would be disastrous for the administration of justice in this country.
They also enjoy the money under-the-table from lobbyists.
This is just the clear example that no matter what rules are in place as long as you are in government none of them apply to them.....
Thanks again Bill for another look at our wacky world
Hello, how are you doing?
Thank you Bill ❤ for what you say
Bill didn't even cover how Congress members can enrich themselves with government contracts to companies they have a vested interest in. You'd think that would be a conflict of interest. But apparently not.
love him or hate him, why do you think the swamp hated trump so much, and so badly wanted biden in

@@51MontyPython Not new to him at all. He is an angry guy, who is funny once in a while. Most of what he spews is garbage.
@@BP7BlackPearl Can't remember if my comment was to you or the OP (I'd have to watch it again), but, I agree. To his credit, though, I will say, he is decidedly more _classically_ liberal than these Marxist automatons taking the place of people like him today. He looks downright SANE by comparison. And that's no joke.
The voters main repetitive mistake is addressing these fools as "leaders" when they're suppose to be addressed as "public servants". Meaning, working for the people only. Shorter term limits would also help and keep the constituent needs from being held hostage by the lobbyists. When it comes to politicians, it's always their personal "wants" and goals versus or chosen over the people's needs
Term limits will simply turn the Chief of Staff for each office into the de facto decision-maker. Politicians will no longer bring their own senior staff; it will stay with that office for decades. The excuse given will be "continuity of government." And since all the decisions would be made by people who don't even have to face our farce of an election process, things would get very much worse, very very quickly.
Get rid of lobbyists!
The US has now and always has had a lazy electorate, that is when they do decide to exercise their right to vote. How in God’s name do you consistently walk into a voting booth or mail in a ballot and vote for someone who could care less about you and is only there to serve their own interests? How do you not at least read about a candidate and what their views are, their background, and how that will influence the positions they take once elected. I would rather a non voter than an ignorant one. Elections have consequences
List the incumbent's voting record in the info booklet that comes with the mail-in ballot.
Term limits are inherently anti democratic BS and empowers parties over voters.
You're the greatest Bill!! Run for Pres but I know you won't because you're toooooo smart!!

@@Seekthetruth3000 Nope, I was thinking the exact same thing. But really...what would you expect? I get it. It's a liberal show.
Here's a little wish that will never come true: Hard line term limits for all members of Congress. Maximum 2 permitted for senators (12 years max) and 6 terms for Representatives (same 12 year max). Then go back home to your real job!! Oh, and no lifetime golden parachute retirement plan. They get Social Security just like anyone else. Unfortunately, it will never happen.
CP - you're right. they will never agree to take SocSec, they want to get rid of it.
That won’t help anything. The government as a whole needs to be weakened, the cronyism/lobbying needs to be eradicated, and the economy needs to be freed from the government backing the largest companies.
Because they are making the rules.
There is a possibility with Convention of States! Take our country back!
12 years isnt enough
Not enough time to form expertise and contacts
If you're saying 12 years is enough, remember, ideally, these people are supposed to have expertise on incredibly complicated topics and deep bench networks that span the globe
This episode of New Rule is a keeper!
If i owned a company id hire that girl at Walmart! She was awesome!. Sometimes just gotta tell it like it is! Lol

term limits are stupid.
@@alphanerd7221 I don't care about term limits. But pay congress what teachers get paid...and let's see some real legislation. Instead congress attracts some of the most despicable people in the country. It's almost perverse.
Good point. I'm so for term limits. Lower their salary and don't allow politicians to massively make money due to their associations, book deals, etc.
Get elected no more than twice. No welfare either(medicaid. Food stamps. Section 8 housing). No paid for trips. 7.75 hour wage
That's not too extreme. More in line with UK and Europe. Just don't let it get out of hand. Socialism BAD. Neoliberal capitalist extremism BAD. Brexit is a symbol of the little people resisting corporations and greedy politicians moving all the wealth upwards. The Gilets Jaunes the same in France.
Perfect example Tommy Tuberville ,does not know the 3 branches of government ,but the people love their football coach!
Joe biden said 350 million Americans had been vaccinated out of a population of 329 million. So you agree he should not be president too. Of course, Biden can make a mistake, but a republican can't.

Let's take the money out of politics and add term limits.
@@phillipgriffin2360 And take away immunity so they can be charged for fucking up. Not sure how it is in the USA, but in Austria, some politicians can steal public money (simply put) and get away with it. The trials are just some clown show for the public, but you never hear something happen or someone getting punished, only very rarely, and then also only some scapegoat who everyone decided to make the big bogeyman so that the population forgets about the fact that one guy couldn't have it done it all, etc.
Also make it illegal for politicians to receive donations from companies that, sometime later, get all the lucrative state contracts. Or for politicians to employ their own companies at ludicrous prices. Some Austrian politician made quite a lot of cash this way, employing his company at the highest price. He even made some contract that can't be canceled without some massive ridiculous fine, forcing the state to either pay the fine or keep the company employed for the next 5 years or so.

@@itsAmeOFP It’s worse the way it is now. If you know you’re going to win your race easily election after election, no matter what, it’s going to breed complacency. Why would you care? You have the job and no one is going to beat you (rarely the incumbent would lose). There’s no motivation for you to do any good for your constituents. That’s why term limits are needed in Congress.
Bill is absolutely correct. Most of these people will say or do anything to stay in public office. They love D.C. and all the perks. Their biggest fear is being sent back to live amongst their voters.
Indeed, once they taste the highlife they never want to go back to to what their constituents are struggling to deal with every day,. All that is behind them, and they don't ever want to go back to that ever again. Thus, do or say anything to convince the voters in their district to keep them in office. The more wacky a conspiracy they embrace, the better chance they have at staying, or at least staying long enough to get some cushy position at a company they lobbied for while in office.
110 percent correct.
True but , the way he said it just brings him down to their level . They will win because they are being ramped up by all the hate they have surrounded themselves with. While the rest of the citizens just look on and go about their daily lives.
This is true for both parties. Government sucks.

Hitler, when he realized that he would never be an artist or an architect, had no other job prospects, so he went into politics.
Could've gone back into the .military
He could’ve been an architect, and undoubtedly a good one, but someone who was supposed to have set up a meeting for him with some big-deal architectural school official (perhaps the official him/herself, or maybe it was someone from a big architectural firm? I don’t remember specifically) failed to make that meeting happen, and apparently that’s when he started to lose it. I bet whoever it was felt like a real asshole ten years later.
@@The_sinner_Jim_Whitney, Great Point. I mentioned it because I have seen a lot of similarities between Hitler and Trump, although Trump seems to have no talent other than ripping people off and lying. He does those very well.
@@derrytaylor7417 Not really. He’s been called out on every lie he’s ever told and gone bankrupt like 6 times, so he’s shit at those things, too. He possesses zero redeeming qualities that I can discern. Hitler was one of the craziest and most evil men that has ever shat betwixt two shoes, but he was brilliant in MANY ways. Comparing Hitler to that useless tub of guts is more an insult to Hitler, really. Which would be fine with me if it didn’t bring 45 joy since he idolizes Adolf Hitler.
@@The_sinner_Jim_Whitney , I like the way you think !! Trump is dumber than a rock. I just wish that he'd get locked up already. Every day we hear about more of his plot to stay in power, nothing gets done except people like DeSantis, Abbott, McCarthy, etc. try to emulate him. We have more than enough diseases to contend with in the Pandemic.
It’s painfully obvious, that there is absolutely, no requirements or skills, neccesary to be a Congress person.
Not if the electorate is so stupid as to be taken in by a big stupid grin or an accent or a skin tone that matches theirs. The sad fact is, most people are that stupid. The dolt that gets into office genuinely represents the electorate.
It's the same allover the world. That's why we all going down currently.
Yes, see AOC

Alleluia, you are so right. How can we stop that BS?
Bill has got to be one of the best.
Truer words have never been spoken

The absolute absolute Bill Maher Ever!!!!!!
I love Malcolm Nance!!🥰
THIS IS ABSOLUTE GOLD !!!!!!
I would love to see Larry Elder, or Tucker Carlson, as your guest!
He may not have a choice but to bring Larry on once elected. Larry would destroy him but as long as he cleans up L.A. I'm happy.
@@jeffreysmith4196 So you think larry is going to win? Do you still think Trump won too fool?
@@robertirvine7938CA mandated mail in voting for the recall election. Larry has no chance against all the dead people and illegals and ballot harvesting and duplicate ballots that will counted for Newsom. Larry could win legitimately and still lose with mail in ballots. That's why dems are so supportive of it and also no voter ID laws.
Well I live in L.A. and Newsom is a cooked turkey his recall will show you that. The more Alex Jones is right about something the wider the cellars door opens.
no no he couldnt even deal with shapiro he had no answers except for jokes bill is a joke and so are democrats
There should be a requirement or test of basic common knowledge of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence.
With no skills or qualifications… you nailed it.
WOW, I was wondering what my next career move was going to be! Thank you, Bill Maher!!!
LMBO!!!! No finer truth was ever spoken then when we look at the irony of actions verses words. Home run Bill! Take a lap around the bases while we all roar and clap.
This is why I love this guy, he tells it like it is!
Bill is absolutely killing it here.
They should all wear body cameras. It’s the only way to hold these “public servants” accountable.
They’d turn them off
Or the footage deleted.
No, then we’d ALL have to wear one.
There are major descrepencys in Virginia's 2020 election results.
If you can be a senator with no discernible skills or expertise, then there is something VERY wrong with your system of government.
This is true not only about US congress. This is true of almost ALL politicians worldwide. They are bred to do these things...
Damn Bill went to town on this shit
That because dems are shitting bricks over vote audits cranking up
@@trustory6768 hardly
@@trustory6768 🙄
@@trustory6768 As a moderate, this has been fun watching the dems go from “the election was stolen, Russia, Russia, Russia….” to “it would be impossible for voter fraud to happen, everything is completely secure in our perfect system” like a switch was flipped after the election.
Gotta go dust my jerky.

As an Indian I feel your pain though you guys have it way better than our corrupt politicians here
more corrupt than trump land! i feel for u.
How utterly naive! In the coffers of the West circulates more money; in its expansive lands exist more sizable and globe-spanning organizations. By fundament, therefore, its corruption is more industrial in scale. Verily, Indian politics reeks of corruption, but to claim that it is 'better' elsewhere is mostly, if not always, an exercise in subjective opinion.
Oh great... people in India feel sorry for us in USA. It is that bad.
The difference is corruption in the USA has been legalized (PAC, Lobbying, etc.) so there is the great pretense at transparency and everything being above board. In both countries money talks and those without get crushed.
This just shows how under informed the constituents are.
It shows what is in their souls.
@@gregtownsend5567 - But mainly it shows what isn't in their brains.
They are too busy trying to get laid or hooking up with teens "chatting" on bogus apps, or washing whatever is left of their minds watching absurd conspiracy sites...make that "alternative news" media. Technology is truly doing a number on people, they are more stupid than ever
@@gregtownsend5567 😄 WHAT SOULS??
That's why Republicans love the uneducated and are trying to limit education in public schools. They underfund publis education for a reason, they want vouchers for private schools, because there's money in it. It's been proven that you don't get a better education in private schools and in some cases not as good as public schools.
Preach Bill!!!❤❤❤
Bill's been hit or miss lately, but when he hits, he hits.
Agree! Last week his take on the olympics wasn't funny. Today he was spot on!
Yep yep
Yes, when he gets it, he nails it
He's been turning into a real boomer.
@@XLRAshon You probably think his take on the Olympics wasn't funny because you're the kind of person he was taking aim at.
Totally factually correct! Congress needs to be revamped.
I think we should dump congress in Washington, we've got enough government going on in the states. Congress hasn't done fuk all since ever. Waste of tons of money, home to graft and bureaucrats lobbying ; when really we don't need them at all.
