"What you accept, says who you are." After some contemplation I think I like that statement.
David Frum helped George Bush lie America into the Iraq War. The fact that mainstream media accepts him as a guest says a lot about them.
Open Comments, well Maher does not always pick guests who he agrees with, nor respects very much.
But i do agree, i expected to be groaning at Frum when i saw his face, but he was surprisingly decent this time, compared to the Mooch, that is. Same for Donna, i think she's shady too, but luckily she did not have a lot to say.
He earned my forgiveness when he was expelled from the Republican party for failing to tow the party line. He has obviously evolved over the last twenty years. He would be a great guest for Steve Paikin. He's too dry for American audiences but Ontarians are used to that kind of personal style.
I've sent a message to Stacey Dunseath regarding your appropriation and abuse of The Agenda's and TVO's intellectual property. If you're employed there you should hope they don't track down your identity.
Morty. "He earned my forgiveness when he was expelled from the Republican party for failing to tow the party line" If its that easy for you to forgive David Frum then maybe you aren't grasping how devastating the Iraq War has been for Iraqis and Americans. It's not even clear how many people died as a result. The war also led to to the creation of ISIS and the proliferation of violent extremist ideologies across the region. Even now people are suffering because of him and others. No one should take this guy seriously. He hasn't paid his debt to society in order to be forgiven
I've never seen a guy so cocky for being fired after "11 days"
Caleb Paddack he's still rich you know
Yeah but he went to Harvard
+Caleb Paddack "12 days."
- The Mooch
Keyword: fired. He's the jackass that's saying "It doesn't hurt" after he amputates his leg with his own gun.
Caleb Paddack
Are sure he was born here and not in Italy?
Bill should make a rule on his show. If you start a sentence with "What about...", you are GONE! This rise of Whataboutism is the worst thing to happen to political discussion in the last decade. Don't answer my question with a question, especially a bullshit question.
a lot of "what about ..." questions are very valid. If you ask someone a question, you should be obliged to answer it yourself first. Seems like an honest way to have a conversation.
snuffeldjuret whataboutism does not answer the question but deflect because you’ve been caught.
It’s not a real answer at all
saxking101 my point is that not all questions that start with "what about ..." are whataboutism.
the reason people use "what about" is because they are pointing out hypocrisy. you cant criticize the other side if your own side is doing the same thing and you dont say anything about it. its hypocritical and makes you look like you dont really care about the issue, and that your only using it to attack the other side. its about having integrity. and it applies to either side.
The lion’s share is used as a deflection technique.
No dialogue, no exchange of ideas, no light. Just nastiness and sarcasm and an ending as depressing and vulgar as the times in which we live.
Well said!
Yes but life is what we make it. And Republicans are not helping us
Does The Mooch ever just shut up and listen to someone else than just talk over them?
This is how the right wing assholes are. Just pushing their talking points with no truth to back them up!
Of course not. It's strategy...
Right wing assholes? I am one of those conservative assholes. I am watching Bill Maher because I don't like being in an echo chamber. Liberals are just as guilty of that too. The world is not black and white.
It's like when you're drunk and you get into arguments with a couple of your friends but your both sure you are right, only he's the only drunk one.
The Mooch has nothing to learn from anybody else.
The Mooch will forever be "that 80's guy" from the Future Stock episode of Futurama.
This is a perfect example of how impossible it’s become to have even a SIMPLE conversation about current events between people of opposing Democratic/Republican ideologies (not even accounting for how far left or right in them they might be). It just devolves into talking over each other, not listening, and not giving a single goddamned inch or admitting ANYTHING that might have been wrong, even if the fault wasn’t their own.
The guy sitting next to Bill was doing all the talking over others, interrupting, changing the subject, insulting people, trolling the others. He's a thug. Don't pull this, "Both sides do it," shit! THIS IS NOT NORMAL. David Frum was normal. The guy to the left of Scarface seemed normal in this clip. There are normal conservatives. TODAY'S GOP HAS BROKEN POLITICS. When the GOP was a conservative party, it was, "Left vs. Right"; now that it's an AUTHORITARIAN party, they've made everything into "us vs. them". "Them" (Democrats, liberals, progressives, moderates, "the Left") don't just have a different viewpoint on policies which can be discussed. They consider all those people NOT EVEN AMERICANS!!
Donna Brooks I totally agree. 👍🏼Very well said‼️
Brazile is a dishonest and poor spokesperson for her psrty.
No this is a perfect example of the republicans being full of shit and divorced from reality and the democrats trying to have a factual conversation. Everything scaramucci said was either a lie or a spin. Perfectly characterizes the Republican Party and Trump
5:50 "What you accept, says who you are." Now that's hitting the damn bull-eye.
Nolege Is Power so David is a murderer Bc he worked and defended Bush ?
I think it says what he believes to be acceptable. And your beliefs make up your character, right?
Nolege Is Power It was a silly platitude and virtue signalling.
You're right, and the american people aren't gonna "accept" the bullshit the people on the left side of the panel were dishing anymore. The result was Trump.
So true
Mad respect for David Frum for holding in his anger. The mooch was the one acting like a douchebag because Frum wasn’t asking him “nice” questions.
Randy H I agree with his position, but his first question was definitely a Gotcha moment
True, but David didn't really seem angry to me. Anthony was the one who seemed angry (or defensive, or irritated), so he was projecting.
Cincy Stone - so what? Nothing wrong with popping a tough question on someone who purports to be a national media figure.
YOU LIBERALS ARE ALL DUMB AS HELL....
He wasnt holding it in he tried to say something but was scared. Fucken lil coward
Well. Bill lost control of that one.
Eh was kinda glad he just let them go at it.
He was having a great time just laughing - I am right there with him. You can't do much other than laugh, honestly. :D
It was kind of refreshing though in a way.
Wil Hobbs for good tv natural and real REALT TIME
No one can control the Mooch. He cannot even control himself. So glad he only lasted a few days at the WH. How irritating he is! Love The Godfather comparison.
Scaramucci is embarrassing. He did not belong at that table in discussion with those people. He is out of his league, and he clearly resents them for it.
Yep the guy with a law degree from Harvard is outclassed by *squints* ... Donna Brazille and Mc'jowls face.
Balance Life: Okay. Maybe. No. And no.
Premium Tea: LOL go away troll
BoomStar: Scaramucci is a clown with an expensive piece of paper.
Premium Tea the mooch got his ass kicked and he was practically foaming at the mouth. Loved how he couldn’t even begin to get a point across because he was giving some self deprecating joke about his failure in the White House. His tail was so far between his legs it was practically up his ass. He almost cried a couple times. Loved it!
Did we watch the same video?
wtf? I AM SO FUCKING GLAD THEY HAD HIM. I'm a liberal for the most part, but dude don't be an ass, its good to listen to the opposite side sometimes, even if you don't agree with them. Plus, this shit was hilarious in a world where nobody listens to each other anymore
Hahaha, gotta say, the Mooch is thoroughly entertaining. That banter between him and Frum was great television.
Mooch is pathetic. He's all bluster and bully tactics, typical coming out of his time on Wall Street. He's also a wannabe wise guy.
I miss the Mooch
MOOOOOCH
@Balance Life In a way, I too wish AS was still in the administration. I liked having him dropped in that original cast of characters. When he was first hired, my reaction was "this won't end well" thinking AS might grow weary of having to always let the spotlight shine on Mr Trump. For someone with his personality plus coming from Wall Street (meaning not DC), I thought Public Liaison might be a tough role for him. Who could know the Mooch would blow up so quickly?! I also didn't think we'd get someone like Gen Kelly until around now (Feb 2018). The Mooch is just a little too colourful (and maybe too rich) for DC. And, yes, I completely agree with the New Yorker in him tripping him up -- it's both what makes him great and is his Achilles' heel. He makes me cringe, but I was hoping he'd talk about Davos.
Heavens, what a panel!
Mooch reminds me of some greasy politician who’s got an underground lair where he’s plotting Batman’s death so he can take over Gotham city.
And you think David Frum or Richard Haass is better?
Mooch also voted for Obama just so you know.
Moch is a car salesman
I prefer a car salesman to a Warmonger progandist (Frum).
Lol everything is a comic book or movie to you liberals. You really are just 20 something children.
He's a caricature of Moroni.
The Mooch is as interesting as a car crash
Frum: "Don't let your ambitions cloud your judgment."
Scaramucci: "... What does that even mean? Are you talking about my ambition? I've already lived a great life. I went in there [White House] to try to serve the country and help the middle and lower middle class people who are struggling in this country. You gotta wake up, brother. You're living in, like, an ivory tower. You gotta snap out of it."
Richard Haass: *shakes head*
Scaramucci doesn't belong in the conversation.
Scaramucci loosely quoted The Godfather Pt.III, in which the sentiment is to not allow your hate cloud your judgment. Frum replied with, "don't let ambition cloud your judgment." This phrase could apply to almost anyone who has worked with, is working with, and who might be considering working for this administration - don't make a ill-poor decision in your effort to achieve your goals.
I sense we are trying to make two separate points. Frankly, this is a youtube comment section. We'd be better off calling each other "fake and gay" and moving on with our day.
I disagree with your description of "just an attempt to turn it around and smear him." There is no need to "smear" Scaramucci - he's already a political jester. Frum's question agitated Scaramucci, whether it was Frum's intention or not.
It sure was his (Frum's) intention, in my opinion...and it worked. See the Mooch go!!! LOL
War monger Frum The War Drum doesn't belong in the conversation.
It was a pretty brutal shot - "naked political ambition" was the reason the Mooch's wife gave when she walked out on him. That said Frum didn't come off much better than Scaramucci in this one.
Pretty simple tactic Mooch used. No substance to his argument so he attacks a guy's character. Trump 101 or Kindergarten 101 might be more apt.
bobolob Another tactic by the Rs is to interrupt and talk over. The moderators need to do a better job of moderating and cut some mics.
Frum has character? That's the news of the day. He is a war monger with blood on his hands.
Cool.
Not cut mics necessarily, just have some semblance of control. Mooch went off the rails. Maher is bad at that. Frum kept cool.
mooch used that tactic that i used in high school to make people laugh and make myself look cool. he took me back to the good old days
Scaramucci exhibits the essence of Trumpism: 1) Don't know anything. Act like you know everything. 2) Quote pedigree while dismissing the pedigree in others as elitist. 3) Act insulted, put upon and persecuted while insulting and persecuting others. 4) Attack others for your weaknesses (in this case "anger") 5) Act smug and faux humble while doing all of the above.
This is what they do... it's bullying 101. But, are they aware they are doing it? Do they lay awake nights planning to act this way, or is it just instinct?
Excellent diagnosis! That is exactly what Trump has perfected. When a Dem says it, it's elitist or it's too expensive...the debt...yadda yadda yadda...When they steal it a year later, it's populist, and what foresight and understanding they show! LOL
He cries out while he strikes you.
well said,Dustin
Dustin, you are so spot on! The faux humble is the worst! And the irony of the mooch coming from a "humble" background but is against helping others who are poor and less fortunate by saying that those folks are fleecing from the country and that those "entitlements" should be cut. tis sad though. he is one of many like that.
"What you accept says who you are." - David Frum
"I don't understand what that means!" - Harvard graduate Anthony Scaramucci
It's not that Anthony doesn't know what it means, it means he doesn't have the character or personality that recognizes it.
that's what happens when you only talent and purpose is to sell someone elses con.
you have no morals when you sell them out frequently.
They should have buried a time capsule with their predictions to be opened in 18 or 10 years. Then bring back the same panel and open it.
Uh, David Frum originated the phrase "axis of evil" in the build up of Iraq... I'm shocked how these Bush admin guys are propped up on 'Liberal' networks now simply because they 'hate Trump'
D Mann ...David Frum IS the swamp and here we are quoting him like he’s Plato or something
Couldn't finish watching. The "Mooch" is a close-minded, well spoken bully who insists on presenting Trump as a well-meaning, conscientious, fair-minded public servant. Sorry. Couldn't swallow that bullshit for 10 minutes 25 seconds.
Dear Bill Maher - I respect that you have Republicans on your show and I too think they are brave for coming on. But please book thoughtful, somewhat objective Republicans. Sycophantic boot-lickers for the Trump administration are neither entertaining nor informative.
Do you know who Frum is? You triggered pseudo-intellectual
Let me translate what you mean by "Objective Republican". You meant to say "they're only objective if they agree with me and anyone who disagrees with me is not objective!"
The Mooch is trying to preserve his chance of coming back into the fray of republican politics and the administration by kissing Trump's ass.
There is not any debate if everyone around the table despise Trump.
Mooch is the worst!
I can't believe Bill let him repeatedly pull that grade school "U mad!" shit on Frum. He was clearly not mad at all and it adds nothing to the discussion, it's basically trolling.
Mooch got triggered by David's observations on him because they were spot on. That's why he went for that "you're angry" bullshit. It's just retribution by projection, the only one who was actually angry was him because earlier during the show, Frum made fun of his blatant name dropping "I went to Harvard" line. Mooch then tried to float this fantasy about how he wanted to be part of the Trump administration to "help the little guy". Because we all know how much Wall Street gangsters like him care about the little guy.
The so called mooch is one of those guys that runs his mouth until somebody slaps him silly. Then he shrivels up and slithers away. He's angling for a job in politics. Too late. I don't know anyone who would even look at the midget much less vote for him.
It’s nice to see rethuglicans go at it with each other. But the problem is, why are some liberals siding with David Frum, treating him like he is any better? He still believes in ALL of Trumps policies, and not to mention complicit in the Iraq War.
Shubo Mukherjee yes, the Mooch is still trying to kiss Trump's ass to get his job back..
Oh my god! Scaramucci is so like a stock Italian character from mob movies..
sharan srinivas : Yes! He is that short angry guy that was too hot headed for his own good in The Good Fellas
People forget caricatures have source.
Yeah he's the one who gets offed in the first scene for being such an asshole.
Kudos to Frum for not rising to the constant antagonism spewing out of The Mooch.
Flappy McDank you must’ve missed the first half of the segment...frum was a condescending prick for absolutely no reason toward mooch
MattySOP yea because it wasn't warranted after name dropping harvard and defending trumps sexual harassment allegations.
+Conner I'd be more concerned about Frum and the Bushies dropping bombs on Iraq.
Open Comments The Agenda TVO Um... I thought this conversation was about the current administration not the past administrations.😕
+stephanie williams There is no statute of limitations on murder.
Did I just tune in to the Mooch show? You let him come in and take over the show and talk over people that have a much better view of whats going on. It looks like Bill likes him but I won't watch again if he's on.
Exactly!!
Why are you crying, useful idiot? Watch CNN if you want to listen to one biased opinion.
I'm not crying douche bag, I'm stating facts.
You Little snowflake
Sometimes it is best to give people enough rope... no indication of love.
Haass was pretty dead on when he said the next administration would face a "degraded world". I am impressed. Is it degraded because of Trump or because of the Lab Leak?
What is with a lot of Republicans not letting the other person talk? It's like their mentality is "Don't give the other person a chance to prove you wrong."
charger 98 I actually think it is taught. It’s a part of their strategy. I’ve been watching this shit unfold since Bush. There are mannerisms that are almost like they went to seminars to learn this shit.
1. Keep your cool, know exactly what you’re going to say when the other starts talking, talk fast, talk slightly louder, and don’t shut up the entire time the other person is making a point or responding to your question or asking a question.
2. When then asked “what?!” because nothing could be heard, change the topic.
3. When faced with a question where you know your answer must be a lie, start your response with the word “look”.
4. Lots of shoulder and back pats. Make the guy feel comfortable before you lie to his face.
5. Talk about family. Start out that way. Ask about how the interviewer’s family is. Compare yours to theirs. Make them comfortable before you lie to them. Make them feel like you’re basically coming from the same place.
5. Always....ALWAYS talk about your working class background if you have one. No one needs to know you sold your soul along with selling out all the people you grew up with. No one needs to know that the moment you left for Harvard, your immediate thoughts were “thank fuck I never have to see another one of the losers for the rest of my life! Fuck all of you!” They need to think you still care about these people - that you ever cared about these people.
6. You are the victim. No, shut the fuck up! There is no such thing as pathetic in this party! YOU ARE THE VICTIM! ALWAYS! Never forget that. Live that. You raped someone? You’re the victim - she shouldn’t have dressed that way or come on to you earlier. You beat up a homeless guy with a group of your friends? He scared you. You fucked over an entire segment of the country’s populace? They don’t work hard enough and you can’t keep footing their bill. You get exposed for being a liar? The bullies backed you into a corner. We’ll revisit this. It’s important and it takes a lot of practice. Just remember Republicans: you are always the victim.
7. This goes along with part 6, always turn it into they’re attacking your family and the sanctity of your home. Remember, you should have at this point already started out with your family. Now put them as if they’re at risk. It’s not just you and your party that is the victim. It’s literally a day to day struggle for individual members of your family as victims.
8. You’re really a killer, though. Go for the jugular of your opponent every time. Attack their family when possible. Is it a double standard? Of course it is, you dummy! Get it straight!!! We make the double standards, we impose them, and we fucking live by them! They’re our 6th man!!!!
I could keep going, but you get my point. They all talk like this. Like robots. I believe they are indeed trained. The question is, do Democrats and others start playing the same game in response to this or do they try to fight the same “don’t drop to their level” game that has so far seemingly not worked.
jafrocubic2, THEY DO go to seminars to learn this stuff! They have books--"How To Argue With A Liberal" was one my mom had--they recommended never letting the lib set the facts--instead push whatever they say to its extreme and make them argue that. You can't be for abortion to protect a mom from a baby that will die because they have no brain, or it's outside the skull and will harm her uterus...they will push you to argue the case of aborting an 8th month "baby" because the mom was too lazy to take her pills. Killing healthy babies, never ones that will die no matter what. Never a 2-month clump of cells. Or with
welfare--it's healthy lazy people in Cadillacs (Reagan's fave), not disabled people who can't move without pain. There is no halfway, no judgment--it's the ridiculous extreme no one can defend. Having babies for more welfare, not people who are physically challenged.
With defense, they turn libs into defenseless fools by exaggerating threats, turning libs into America-haters, apologists. So stress your patriotism and love of country--takes that away from them. And be strong--without buying into hurting others, creating enemies... Co-opt THEIR keywords. Strength, Patriotism, pride....
Remember that when arguing--pull them back to your facts. Ask them if they think whatever--in your facts, not theirs. "No one ever should be helped?" "Should wounded veterans receive benefits?" Your facts, not theirs. Ignore the attacks. Ignore the bs and restate your basic position. Without their silly exaggerations that no one would argue. Say that's silly. You don't hurt those who need something because another might abuse it. Ask for examples, demand sources for stats--and check on the spot. Kills them.
I think you may have answered your own question
Excuse me? I support Democrats, but it was pretty clear the others on the panel were talking over Anthony?
Tonight's overtime is a perfect example of why the arguments and logic of brilliant minds like Frum's are useless against sleazy, little, street brawlers like Scaramucci. He's entertaining, but beyond that, he knows how to play people's genuine anger against them. He's a repulsive charlatan and yet he had everyone wrapped around his finger including Maher and lots of viewers who think he's funny or cool. He's part of the unraveling.
artoo45 I couldn't have said that better!!! 👏👏👏
So sad... so true....
But his personal attacks on Frum only appealed to Trumpers who are bullies anyway. Made Scaramucci look desperate, mean, ugly and frightened. So he did well at times, but blew it with the ugly.
I don't know about brilliant mind. He's definitely a few levels above "The Mooch" but misses the train completely as he fails to correlate the successes of Keynesian economics in our history and the economic disasters that Supply-side and Supply-side like policies have been connected to.
artoo45 agreed! Richard beings talking about foreign relations and the future of diplomacy after trump and all scaramucci can talk about is the economy and corporate money coming into the country.....did he not hear he question!!!!!!
Anthony Scaramucci is still in denial like the rest of the trumpeters.
A year on and how things change, the Mooch is eating his words 🤣
It's always great when Bill has someone on he disagress with so much but the talking over each other among the guests was incredibly annoying
Anthony just kept gish galloping like I've never seen.
It's fucking exhausting to watch.
+Nodo nian Still better than Milo.
czcams.com/video/3cDLflyQ8TA/video.html
+redlightmax - LOL!!
I'm not clicking on that link because I saw the show with Milo and once was WAY more than enough!!!
You can say anything about the Mooch but I will say he’s a honest man who tells the truth how he sees it. I give him credit for his cool temper and intelligence.
"You're a mean guy." Says the guy who insults and talks over everyone.
A key bully tactic is to play the victim
,,,better mean than a B.S.ing idiot!
the mooch is both: mean and full of shit
Scaramucci is standing up for the little guy against these elitists
@Julie W. Wow, I left that comment awhile ago. I almost forgot about this video. Nice digging! You're confusing a "booming economy" with the success of the stock market (ie. Dow Industrials, S&P etc.). In case you didn't know, the high valuation of corporate stocks are largely driven by investor confidence. Tech stocks like Amazon and Tesla are good examples. Their earnings are low relative to their high stock prices. But the underlying economics of America are not that great (eg. the middle class is shrinking, homelessness on the rise in big cities etc.). This is what Trump has inherited from Obama.
In regards to tax breaks, the "working man and the poor" will not bear most of the burden paying down the deficit. Also, the itemized deductions, which you referred to, mostly affect NY and CA residents in the form of capped property tax deductions. In other words, the "ultra rich" in those states basically have the same effective tax rate. But nothing should stop the anti-tax cut "ultra rich" like Pelosi and Clinton from paying more than their required taxes. Historically, capitalism has been the most effective way to distribute wealth. These tax cuts will take time to trickle down, so be patient. Macroeconomic changes do not happen overnight. Also, by supporting merit-based immigration and strong trade policies, he is helping the little guys. NOW you see!
That was more annoying than anything
Yep. The Mooch's 5 seconds of fame are up.
Yeah too much ego, crosstalk, & shade lol. Bill is like the obnoxious drunk guy on the subway who keeps interrupting a serious conversation.
AMEN.........I learned nothing and want those 10 minutes of my life back...........I am sure the Mooch was jizzing his pants when Bill referred to him as Michael Corleone.
I agree
Randy H we get it, you think its because of Bill but you're wrong. this was an annoying overtime because the self-righteous boor, Scaramucci can't be a part of a normal conversation - its like he's in a jersey shore episode. you must have confused the panel with a bar/subway setting.
Please Bill, never bring Mooch back,,,,,,EVER.
Or if he does come back, make sure he's held accountable for his bluster and bullshit.
This is a very rare event that this was unwatchable!!!
shut up grandma and go make for us a soup
comrade xOURI THIS IS MERICA, we eat chili..have your boy Putin make for us a soup. or stop making us some words about Gloria de Gaston"s appearance, you bully...or how about keeping mouth shut concerning A lady's physical traits. Unless you're a pig?
Elliot If he does come back, they should have a comedian on to roast him. Bill Burr and Seth MacFarlene come to mind.
Every single Trump apologist that has been on Real Time has been this way. They just talk the talking points, talk over others, personally attack others, including guests, deflect, lie, shout, and general act like thugs. It is a waste of my time to watch a show that has them on. If they would participate in vigorous debate and conversation about the factual universe in which we live, I say bring 'em on. But if they just echo the Alternative Universe of Trump and Hannity, et al, then they can go on Fox and preach to the choir. I'm NOT saying that I only want to hear MY point of view, I AM saying that just overtalking and repeating the same talking points endlessly is Fox News-like, and I pay to get HBO, so I would prefer not to be subjected to the same propaganda I hear daily straight from the horse's tweet.
Gandalf47 Mooch was trying to stay cool when Frum was firing off insults and accusations. Mooch was just trying to defend himself. I’d also argue that the others were interrupting him a fair amount. Can’t blame Mooch for getting a little testy.
God i love watching anthony and remembering when bill hader did a skit on him and it was so spot on. The ending was so perfect hahahha
“You’re gonna play that card or you’re gonna name-drop Harvard. One or the other.” I never have really liked Frum, but damn, he gets street cred for this one.
Well, David "Weapons of Mass Destruction" Frum helped Bush lie America into the Iraq War, leading to the needless deaths of thousands of Americans. If that's street cred, you can have it.
I thought the Mooch did well to point out that if you come from a poor family and make it to Harvard, then you do know things from both angles. Also, it should be pretty clear by now that Trump found a way to connect with the working class that Hillary Clinton failed to do, and Frum can't handle that reality.
Open Comments The Agenda TVO well to Anthony’s credit he points out that the failing of the countries economy wasn’t a partisan issue. Globalization and such. But his president hasn’t offered a way to fix the problem. And frankly neither have the Democrats.
We know the struggling class and middle class will never see anything meaningful from this tax cut. So what’s the long term plan to keep the American industry viable and everyone is paid properly?
It sounds smart but I wonder. I interpret mooch mentioning harvard as he is labeled stupid, not to imply he is better.
I’m no fan of Frum OR the Mooch, but can we stop peddling the lie that “trump connected with people in a way Clinton didn’t”? Because, 1) that isn’t true when you get down to it....Clinton actually “connected” better than trump, overall. That’s why most of the voters voted for her. And 2) its irrelevant now. Clinton lost, and the trump people are the ones who need to get over it, not Clinton supporters or democrats or trump haters. The only people i ever see bringing up the election are trump supporters.
Isn't the whole Russian collusion thing the definition of not letting the loss go? I haven't even let go of the Gore loss yet ^^.
Never invite Scaramuchi 'Mr. Ad Hominem' ever again please. Let him disappear into oblivion. 11 days into the spotlight, that's all he should have gotten.
Ecclesia And he didnt even deserve that! Hes a goomba that needs to take a sit the f*ck down.
I agree, what a waste of time. He was the passive aggressive instigator, trying to get people to stumble over their words, so that he can drone on about how great Tramp is. In the meantime conceding to Maher that Tramp is killing the environment, but that's peanuts compared to the booming economy...
Ehhh... no, with spotlight I was refering to his 11 days in administration you dumbass. THAT's all he should have gotten, he should not have been invited on this show OR ANY OTHER SHOW!
Lol I'm not gonna lie - I enjoyed Mooch - I'd totally drink a beer with him and this is from a Trump hater
Who is mooch?the guy on the left of bill
What a shit episode. Maher could have at least tried to control the conversation. Instead he was in there talking on top of everyone like they all did. Did Frum actually get to make a single point without someone (usually 80's guy) yapping over him?
Maher has sold out long time ago. Why would he keep inviting Frum The War Drum and Cheating Liar Brazile?
mooch was angry as hell though he called the other guy angry
bento8 Yes, I think it is called projecting...when someone accuses another of what that person (accuser) really is doing wrong. Does that make sense? It is like Scaramooch was looking in the mirror while saying "you are angry" to Frum.
Mooch was l I v I d here..SO obvious…
Hey mooch. Regarding the 3% growth rate in 18 years. Who knows if it grows at that rate? Plus, add inflation. See your fantasy-numbers crumble.
By my math, the economy would need 3.9% growth for it to double in 18 years, not just 3%. That kind of growth for 18 years would be utterly unrealistic. Scaramucci is trying to sound smart when he throws out that 3% number, even throwing in a sarcastic jab to the other panelists if they want him to explain the math, but it's clear that he is the one who doesn't understand.
the funny thing is that he is using the "rule of 72" where you divide 72 by the growth rate to estimate the time it would take to double, 72 / 3 is 24. so even he can't do the math...
Also the growth rate was at about 1.8 or 1.9%, the last time I checked and I haven't heard that it has increased since then. The 3% number is the one used to make the math work in the Tax and Jobs Act, not the contemporary reality.
LowStuff It is inflation adjusted But yeah there is no way US economy growth increases it is just too big too developed and too old to grow quickly around 2% is good
LowStuff Facts that's the 1st thing I thought. Sh!t is going up already
I love the Mooch and I think he is the most knowledgeable person there
DO NOT BRING SCARAMOOTCH BACK.
I would tell him never to do this dopey show again.
Oh, I get it. The Mooch is _auditioning_ ; that's what Frum has picked up on. Hence the comment about ambition.
Scaramucci has no future in the white house or as an appointee; Trump has pumped and dumped him. Also probably no real future in national politics. He's damn near _done_ .
So he's using his appearance to generate interest. He's angling for a radio program or maybe a sidekick slot on FOX daytime show or the like. He hasn't got a book to get ghost written, he didn't last nearly long enough, and with Fire and Fury out he's at best coming late to a strong field of rivals.
This is about him proving he's a proper right-wing gladiator who can talk the talk and troll the libs, because otherwise he's one more blob of self-parodic fail drifting in the wake of the Trumptanic. That's why he's all >=[ at Frum; Frum's set. Frum has a name worth something and crendentials people respect. By comparison the Mooch is an unfortunate nicknamed paired to a fistful of hair gel.
Jeez, now ur kinda making me feel sorry for the guy
This is my first time watching him since he worked as Communication Director. Does he act like this in other talk shows? But I’m inclined to believe he’s also auditioning now that you mention it. The man wants a solid job.
Exactly! It’s like the mooch is hoping that Trump would take him back. Not even his wife! He should know better, if he is really from Harvard.
Actually I even liked watching him talk to Seth Myers. He wasn't this butthurt prick on his show.
Omg, mooch is a cartoon character...
He can't STFU either
He has the human equivalent of a troll face.
80s Wall Street yuppie stereotype
Always angry.
Mooch = TOOL
mooch needs a calculator!
For somebody in Wall St he's bad at the exponents.
@@thunderpooch YESSSSS, wait exponents? I used the rule of 72 for doubling interest rates 72/3 = 24 years to double money
Mooch taking down Frum publicly reminded me of Trump insulting his way to the white house. The outsiders are having their day.
The Mooch is always on performance mode. Nothing about him is genuine just like his boss. They are all crooks who would be in prison in another life. These are not decent people.
and He got a bit defensive when D. Frum called him out on that China deal.
Lavtrabia Lawson Exactly! Then try project his anger on to Frum.
4sho
Scaramucci is my favorite character from season one, glad hes back man!
I agree with you, the “Mooch” is a hoot. Bill should have him on more often.
The guy is a gong show in a suit but he does have an appeal
I never realized he was so small. He is dummy-sized. I kept expecting him to turn his head dramatically and see that someone was next to him with their hand in his back making his mouth move. It isn't just that he is tiny, he also looks wooden and plastic, his suit all stiff, his hair greased back.
LOL season 1 - thats funny!
Well done sir
The Mooch is God. Killed this debate
Omg
How dumb r u🤣🤣🤣
Your credibility =⚰
As one raised in NY, Mooch is an embarrassment to almost all of us.
"What you accept says who you are". Preach!!!!
And trying to refer to Trump's involvement with the Rainbow Party 25 years ago at 9:01 is NOT evidence of Trump's respect for African Americans. His willingness and unspoken support for the Ultra Right this past year is evidence enough of his racist and bigoted mindset.
Its too bad Pesci will be too old to play the mooch in the movie someday
Maybe Tom Hardy
Lillo Brancato would be good.
I was waiting for him to say, "Get the fuck outta here! Can you believe this guy?!"
JG F z Bobby cannavale
Mooch thinks 1.03^18 = a 100% increase
FACEPALM
Hell has frozen over when the audience applauds Donna Brazile
Listening to this makes me think I have several CZcams videos playing at once. Turn on the subtitles and see what three people talking at once looks like as one jumbled text.
Im glad Bill called out the difference between Assange and Edward.
TheSilenceMEh both are heroes. Only a partisan hack would say otherwise. He leaked factual information about the Clinton campaign and people were outraged.
That’s like someone leaking you factual information that your significant other is cheating on you, and you get mad at the leaker instead of the person cheating.
CRod_93 Well in this era that same anology can be applied to Trump voters. In regards to the Russian investigation.
CRod_93 He is being used as a Russian tool to dish out disinformation. Wikileaks showed their hand when their emails with Donald Trump Jr. were exposed. Im not a Partisan hack, I can just look at two different people and acknowledge the difference.
Bingo! TheSilenceMEh!
Snowden found refuge in Russia because America was out to get him.
Assange works for Russia, targeting America.
But they both aren't very reliable.
25 years ago! lol .... thats the closest reference you can think of!
THE PARTY OF LINCOLN!
(Because that's how far the GOP has to go to find a decent human among their ranks)
Seriously
Nailed it.
Fuck Yeah, dude. That's how bad of a communications director he truly is. Can't think of a decent thing Trump did within the last Decade..? Even I could prolly do that..
Thinking out loud here..
Ok - He's showing, Demonstrating to the American people that the whole Political system is absolutely FoS. (which is probably what the Repubs should be focusing on - pretending like they aren't part of the problem, instead of a wrecking-ball legislative agenda and counting on a rebounding economy to get Trump re-elected..)
Or a positive example.. (God.. this is kinda hard to come up with off the top of my head..!!) Well shit.. We may not like him, but he has given a voice, a name - He's the geist (ghost) of the zeitgeist of the current state for the Right! He's tapped into the disenfranchisement of the common conservative working class. (Actually, he tapped into both sides - My extremely liberal cousin voted for him, to burn down the system, or at least have HOPE for change after Hillary STOLE the DNC primary.)
He's FoS, of course, and he doesn't give a shit about anyone other than himself, but there are some new winds blowing throughout the country. That's a good thing, I believe. It's gotta be better than a violent revolution, or a civil war. No..? I think so. It's better, FOR NOW.. Although it may be.. No.. It IS time for a revolution. But perhaps without the violence.. (That'd be nice, if we can avoid it..)
When I look at Scaramucci all I can think is.... Glen Danzig!!... MOTHER!! Haha
Scaramucci was chewed up and spit out in ten and three quarter days, he's a has been.
The DNC fixed the election? What does even mean?
Beg to differ! He held his ground in the lion”s den! I”m not a republican but can acknowledge a good debater when I see one!
the Mucch has a bad habit of talking while people criticize his statements so he doesn't have to listen to them and respond to them.
Mooch is soooo easy to bait lmao
HE WENT TO HARVARD! Show some respect!
Yeah, and then tries to project the anger on the others.
He is the aggressive ass in the panel, annoying everyone, then acts all cool when they eventually do get mad. Typical sadist, psychopath, or salesman, whichever.
Scarramuchi seems like a straight shooter and a cool dude. They tried to do the old gang up fight on him. He's got grit.
I watch this just to laugh at all these people in the “Ivory tower” and of course the mooch who is quite the character. The mooch is the man!
Yep, especially now he's woken up to what Trump is.
I came to inform everyone that nothing has changed. The Republicans continue to undermine the First Amendment while Conservatives stroke their persecution-complex over some infantile belief that a war is being waged against Christmas.
It's just unwatchable when everyone is talking over each other. This show was horrible tonight.
EXACTLY! No one can follow the conversation!
Please don't ever have Scaramucci on as a guest again.
taiwanjohn and don’t invite the war monger David Frum on the show either.
'Why? How do you have a debate if you only invite people you agee with?
Aww Taiwanpin dont' say that! I was just thinking what a great comic act he would be at a dinner party
Agreed. He tried to hog the show with his bullshit.
Premium Tea no because his bitch ass talked nonstop on a panel. It is not his show
genuinely disappointed maher gave air time to scaramucci.
Genuinely disappointed Maher gave time to Frum The War Drum and Brazile the cheater.
I too hate listening to dissenting and different opinions. Back to the echo chambers for me.
Get control of your show, Bill Maher.
Worst episode of Real Time I've seen. Bill you've got to learn how to guide the conversation. Mooch walked all over you and everyone else with his nonstop bs.
I think he was being especially soft on the mooch. He doesn't want to set a precedent of right wingers being totally ganged up on and publicly decried. He'd never get another one to come on if he did that. He definitely let it go way too far tho
Dooder....now that you mention it, I think you have a point. People bitch when Bill doesn't have right wingers on his show so it makes no sense to scare away ones who have the balls to show up!
I think, too, he likes to let them hang themselves. As he often says, sunlight is the best disinfectant.
Mooch looked very sad and stupid while spewing same sad low level intelligence talking points that all of his people try to make sound plausible while he was defending Baby Trump too ..he sure must have bribed someone to graduate Harvard..he never strikes me as anything above a mediocre to bellow average intelligent lawyer at best. It's very noticeable, but he kisses ass very well, Trump ass that is.
Scaramucci talked so much and over everyone that it made Overtime unwatchable.
MGH Agree, very disrespectful little twat!
Also during the main episode, which made the moment of Bill cutting him off to go to New Rules even more funny.
It made the whole later half of the episode unwatchable
Maher also didn't give Frum a chance to rebut Scaramouche. He let Scaramouche talk over him and Frum being the more polite man and a man who recognizes that he is not the host, allowed Maher and Scaramouche to do it. I like Maher, but I was disappointed in him last night.
I can't stand somebody who thinks they're funny, cracking lame attempts at jokes, but just looking like a big douche in the end.
I fux with the Mooch. don't agree with his politics but he's a good fella lol
Once the personal attacks started flying Anthony was ready to unload on everyone lol. Personal attacks aren't political debates. Garbage episode. Anthony didn't start the personal attacks but he kept them coming.
He's woken up to what Trump is now though hasn't he.
It’s the exact reason trump won the election, these stupid ad hominem attacks. And it’s probably going to get him re-elected as well.
The show should have just been Frum and Haas. Would have been much more educational and interesting.
I think Frum vs Mooch would be better without Maher waving his feckless fingers at people.
Right, David Frum, Mr. "Axis of Evil," and Haass- the guy making a case for wars in Russia, Syria, Pakistan, N. Korea, and TPP.
Alex andoven
Frum vs Mooch would have been intolerable. Mooch comes across like Trump. He has wise guy comebacks that only serve as good sound bites and don't actually add to a substantive debate. He was obviously outclassed in this setting and his conversations with Frum and Haass were embarrassing.
Ugh, that was painful at best.
Bill Maher Loves black women.
OMG Italian Brooklyn Guy kills a Canadian Bully. LOL Don't mess with a Yankee.
No one allowed Frum to fully respond to Scaramucci - both during the first full segment of the show and here on "Overtime." It's further disappointing that he was the only guest who did not receive a direct question here on "Overtime." Someone already commented below that Bill lost control of this show. I would have to agree. Someone also wrote that Donna Brazile shouldn't be booked again. I would agree to the extent that she shouldn't be invited to be on the panel. You're asking too much of your audience to be simultaneously willing to set aside her complicity in the 2016 election stealing from Bernie, AND have to listen to a legitimate discussion constantly be trampled on by nonsensical noise. Speaking over others does nothing to further a discussion. Frum is an intellectual blackbelt that should have been allowed to spar with a glorified yellow belt in Scaramucci. It isn't often when this type of opportunity presents itself, and instead, Scaramucci walks away looking like a victim.
Frum helped George W. Bush lie about weapons of mass destruction, causing the war in Iraq. Yes, because of Donna Brazile, all kinds of corruption happened in the DNC, but Frum has actual blood on his hands.
Ummm.....Dems were having problems before Donna took over....be reasonable.
I do agree, regardless of whether you like Frum or Brazile or not (which I do not). Moochi Man-Child's only defense is to just go into uncontrollable, mid-level verbal diarrhea when someone else is talking. It is pretty much the intellectual equivalent of putting your fingers in your ears and saying "nah, nah, nah, can't hear yooou!".
I_Enjoy_Peace yeah don’t forget Frum is terrible. Seeing him challenge Mooch may seem fun but they’re both the enemy. Frum is not passionate about the cracking of American institutions. He’s pissed the war machine is being disrupted.
Not only that, Mooch walks away as a calm victim. His calmness does well for him.
I have to give David Frum so much credit for this show. It must have taken everything he had not to climb over the table and slap the smug off Scaramucci's face.
David Frum Anthony Scaramucci ding dong battle was great! I don’t know their history but this got really personal! Made me laugh my socks off!!
Donna: “Leave us Alone” LMAO
Ugh. No more Mooch bookings please. Or Brazile.
Please don't put them in the same category.
Speaking of Brazile - WTF is up with the purple hair thing in this country? Did I miss a memo? I've seen two people in my office with purple hair and now this woman shows up on national TV with it.
ISpitHotFiyaa right ? She looks like a evil villain from Gotham.
Steven Martinez his hair is green and he's white, Dr. Dumbass.
ISpitHotFiyaa where the fuck have you been? People have been coloring their hair for decades, stupid. Stop looking at their crotch for a second or two.
Well done to the Mooch for making it to the end of the show without questioning the holocaust or otherwise courting Nazis.
Pano 360 lol
WTF?
Premium Tea prove you’re not a Russian in a basement naked sitting on a metal stool. (You can’t)
Either he's a Nazi or a Russian, you people make up your mind.
This was a really fun discussion to watch. I would enjoy more like this. Good for everyone present.
Gotta respect Mooch in the debate ring. He shrunk that guy down to the floor.
Hahaha Beach front property in Nebraska!! Bill's always on point!!!
This dude must have gotten a sweet payout. Why is the mooch so freakin loyal to Drumpf?
Anthony Scaramucci was that thug like kid from high school who was not big enough to physically push around and bully kids, so all he could use was use mouth and his tongue to put them down, he would also suck up to the cool kids and the physical bullies,
the ones with the power and prestige, but was never one of them, becasue he was such a boot licker that they had no respect for him, and so to try and please them he would try even harder to be their errand boy...
he is not loyal to Drumpf, he is just like Drumpf, loyal to himself.
There seems to be no path to redemption after sinking so low, he's gotta stick to his guns, otherwise he is nothing.
Anthony “I went to Harvard” Scaramucci just has one of those faces you want to fucking boil.
Your comment was a year ago.
Scaramucci had already been fired by trump and was singing a way different tune!
He was an anti-trump advocate at your writing..
Kick ass show Maher! I totally got what you were trying to moderate during the messy bits... good on you! And good on you for getting people like the Mooch to even come on. Much needed
This episode was unwatchable. Mooch and Donna never stfu and just keep talking over each and making dumb wise cracks. Haass was the best guest by a mile.
Yeah i would have liked to hear more of Haass, Frum surprised me though, since i usually can't stand his slimy squirms.
I don't think Donna talked over folks as much as Mooch.....but yes, I definitely wanted to hear more from Haas. I could tell that he just gave up on trying to participate because they were being unruly!
The mooch has an 88 carolla with your name on it!!
mrkrinkle72 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣 and the AC blows real cold air.
I think it was mentioned that Sacramucci went to Harvard Law School. This would explain how he out debates 3 people at once. One thing is certain.... Scaramucci is one of the most alluring guests on tv. So smart.
Scaramucci is hilarious! 😂 and he knows his shit. He had to teach these guys time value of money and basic economics. The problem is that he says facts and people get offended
The way they all drop their college names like Mooch did 🤣
😂 Exactly Cinzia Pompa!
I was pretty sure they started dropping college names to make fun of Anthony.
Justin Hand yeah, humor is lost on these commenters 😂
I give too much credit far too often.
Don't have the mooch on this show ever again. He'll be great for fox news but not bill maher.
You Faux News, right. :)
His math is wrong. Growing at 3% would double the economy in 24 years, not 18...
Agree,but in this case his apparently using the rule of 72. I could be wrong,very hard in these kind of settings to really explain,best to keep it as simple as possibly. Good comment Sir.
3:03 Scaramoosh looked like he was about to stick a knife to his neck but decided not to!
The Mooch gives a whole knew meaning to just how disrespectful and disgraceful Trump supporters can be.
Anthony Scaramucci is truly despicable ...
The best interview ever!
Scaramucci is so corrupt, smooth and dishonest making me wonder why he should be invited to the show. Anyone champions for DUMP is unacceptable for me, because they defend the indefensible. They must either have no or bend ethical standards.
