Bill Maher is awesome. I don't agree with everything he says, and he is often rude and annoying, but he has most issues right, and he can talk intelligently on just about everything, even when you do not agree with him. He provides a huge service for Americans to get both points of view on the issues, like we all used to get back when we had the FAIRNESS DOCTRINE.
+justgivemethetruth unfortunately the media and maher have been very successful swaying some sane people. acceptance doesn't change sanity or morals. yes he is intelligent but this only allows him a better platform of sales-man-ship. instance pot, what you don't hear is our children are influenced watching him and it is a gateway drug ,in law enforcement it's seen every day..also it's another cause/way to kill families on the road. another, we r on a world that takes care of us,filters deadly radiation called an atmosphere,not too close or far away from the sun and the universe is beautiful. do you realize how astronomical the odds are this was an accident and explosion..the bible i don't know much but since man got into translations,they could screw anything up..but one can't kick all the common sense out as a designed universe.
@RealTime88 I don't like many at all, I am black, A Malcolm X protege, A socialist, And an agnostic. I do freakin love this guy though! Real Time is the REAL DEAL!
I love Bill Maher, but seeing him in that costume mocking Steve's death is the first time I've seen him in the light that people that hate him see him in. Now what he said about messing with animals may be true, its a bit far to mock someone for dying, especially when Steve wasn't trying to hurt or kill them.
What I like the most about Bill is that even though he is mostly a Liberal he has no problem calling the left out on some of their bullshit. He has the most integrity of anyone on TV today.
In everyother country in todays society Bill isn't radical or a freethinker he is just like everyone else. If people came to Sweden they would see that we don't have to much to worry about as we don't have religious fanatics governing our country.
The "Look" mentioned you as a fiscal conservative strong military among other things - I therefore wonder what Mr. Maher thinks is a good economic agenda, who should be president as such. Voting for Ralph Nader I understand and Bob Dole - I also remember his support of Ron Paul -
I think his point is simply that he doesn't know. He sees nothing wrong with admitting that he just doesn't know. I respect him for that very much for that reason.
True Maher rules now, but Carlin is the GOD of comedy!! He´s Mozart!! I don´t want to diss Maher but I´m sure that being as good as he is, he wouldn´t dare compare himself to Carlin!!
He should run this interview on Real Time about his predictions of 2008. He was so spot on it was creepy. "Republicans say the government doesn't work. Yea, the way you do it!". One for the ages.
Oh I agree with you my friend. Bill Maher is not only one of the best talk show hosts of our time. He is one of the greatest comedians of our time. I got to talk to him on the phone when I called into Larry King Live in 2008. He's a smart and very funny human being and a great American.
Yea, I see what this tape is all about. That First Amendment, ya know the right to free speech. Why should Bill Maher exercise his right to freedon of speech ? If ya don't like what he says here's a tip. Don't listen to him.
Bill Maher is my favorite comedian right now and not only that I agree with about 95% of everything he says, he was fkn awesome in the stand up show I saw this past Sunday night in Ft Myers Fl!!
Its not about him being super man or being a politician who can do something. It's about the way he thinks and expresses his beliefs to the world. This is why Bill Maher is a champion of the free minds. And besides he mostly makes fun of conservative religious tea partying rightwing anti-science people.
I'm not sure if anyone noticed but Real Time tapes in the historic Bob Barker Studio!!! You can see the set of Price Is Right during this piece. I had to say that, I got really excited.
I may not agree with him on every issue, but he speaks truth to power & I respect him for it. I am glad that there are voices like his out on the main stage.
1. Has nothing to do with well-being of a country, look at the Netherlands, 2. They have always been there. Ask ancient greeks. 3. Your whole country was founded by immigrants who took the land from native inhabitants. 4. I don't know much abouth that topic. 5. Specifically? 6. So you are entitled to that help? Don't get me wrong, I sympathyse greatly with victims of natural disasters and such. 7. Enviromental studies are important. 8. How exactly? How are you in particular burdened by it?
Women and especially MARRIAGE is antiquated and kids as well.! Men focus on yourself your craft your skill and save your money invest in yourself!! Letsssgoooo
Haha evidently I watched this already at some point and left a 👎lol I honestly don't remember. Maybe after watching this again I'll see why and do it again, eh? (Be back in a sec...)
Bill is correct there are more independents in America than there were when Bill began hosting Politically Incorrect in 1993. I know,after years of being a Democrat I left my party earlier this summer. I hold progressive and libertarian views like Mr. Maher but I don't care about the success of either party.
He said Obama was too green. Baher was Obama's biggest fan after his 8 years as POTUS.

Bill Maher is not filled with hate or anger. It is the willful ignorance of religion and politics that flips a switch on inside of him. It looks like anger, but it is really sorrow for his fellow man, masked in frustration.
Bill looks really good in this interview-crush. Our country NEEDS people who calls out the crazy actions/decisions of politicians without the fluff-to get people thinking--really thinking. A lot of people it seems have a love-dislike "date" with comedians like Bill, the late Joan Rivers and others who speak out on what a majority of the American people see & feel is wrong with our government, but feel it is taboo to voice their own opinions. We need them, we need to laugh, cry, feel good and sad--WE NEED TO FEEL something, not numb!
I don't see how he can hold his Europhile views and still be "fiscally consersative" and pro-death penalty. He's likely changed his views on at least one of those issues. Taxes are good, when used like in Europe. The death penalty isn't a deterrent and the US, the only western nation that issues it, is the most violent western country.
Do you consider him the godfather of political comedy Metal? I have to admit I like Bill Maher more than any political comedian working today. My views are very close to Bill Maher's. I'm a moderate democrat who is frustrated with my party and who really can't stand the Republicans who as Maher said do not want to get involved. Bill Maher is a great comedian because he sees through the stupid bullshit of politics.
Ten years on from 9/11, I think a lot of people could agree with that comment. Problem was, at the time the whole Western world was in a delicate state and it was easy to take such a statement out of context, which it most certainly was. It's not un-American to state the truth.
Hard to hear but needs to be said, that is a wonderful motto to live by, to pop the bubble and fall back to earth style of frustration is an after affect of real comedians, they speak human
I dissagree on his comment on Steve Irwin. In Grand Cayman @ Stingray city, I was hovering and touching stingrays that were up to 10 feet. I might have heard that Irwin was impaled by a manta ray, which may be more aggressive. Im no expert on marinelife, but he was just hovering over the ray. I was making direct contact. Several people were. This was 9 years ago, and I heard they discontinued the 100% interactive experience that I had, but I think that was before Irwin's death in 06'.
Perfect example of an intellect just deep enough for most of Hollywood to drown in , but without enough substance to satisfy the average postal worker.
I agree! I think there are few respectable, genuine people in today's GOP that hold a large amount of influence, or close to large; Ron Paul, Chris Christie are two of them.
Looked it up, turns out you are right. It' just seemed strange that such beliefs would co-exist with his other thoughts on science, progress etc. The frightening thing is when his audience starts applauding while he is raving about how government is making money on you while trying to eradicate a dangerous stem of a virus...
Bill has his brilliant, insightful moments and great political satire ability, but one thing is for sure: he's made millions and he is a capitalist. Let's hear him put down celebs with money... not gonna happen... he is one of them.
one bad apple won't spoil the sell of a bushel but a majority of bad apples will.....I help those that help me....guess how many would get a JOB if forced to do so by losing their free ride...
Finally, someone who's honest, well-informed, intelligent and funny. I agree with HLGxFeaR, he does have sex appeal. Too bad for us white chicks, he's not interested in dating us.
Bill Maher fan right here.
Me too
Since 2006!!!!!
The more I hear about Bill Maher, the more I like the guy. He never ceases to impress me.
I honestly just fell in love with this guy. He is honest.
You deserve each other.
*****
If it wasn't he could have told me that, not you.
*****
You've added nothing. So much for brainpower.
Go on. Keep bitching.
me too!
Even after watching his interview with Netanyahu? hmmm
Ironically, political satire is more accurate than political "news."
that's the point... the comically sad truth.
You do learn more from Bill Maher or John Oliver these days than actual reporters.
Bill Maher is awesome.
I don't agree with everything he says, and he is often rude and annoying,
but he has most issues right, and he can talk intelligently on just about
everything, even when you do not agree with him. He provides a huge
service for Americans to get both points of view on the issues, like we
all used to get back when we had the FAIRNESS DOCTRINE.

He can be sarcastic and seem rude on some subjects, but mostly I agree with him and he is not an hypocrite...
Sarcastic but not rude!!!
~ Bill, you have a supporter in the south, me.
It is almost like have George Carlin back, similar style!!
I don't always agree with Bill Maher but he has BIG BALLS.most of the time he really calls out the spin doctors.very compelling person.
i honestly love this guy, he is straight talk, not mccain and republicans
One of the most honest people out there in the media today. I wish Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert would go on his show, I'm sure he's invited them.
Bill has been on The Daily Show if I recall
"Your a different person every decade." ~ Bill Maher
So true and someone finally said it!
You know what was not cowardice... Bill having the courage to speak his mind on national television
Exactly… Too bad the point passed over their heads.
@RealTime88 I don't like many at all, I am black, A Malcolm X protege, A socialist, And an agnostic. I do freakin love this guy though! Real Time is the REAL DEAL!
colbert/stewart/maher. the three kings.
More like The 3 Stooges.
Lydia Lilli Haha. Pretty good. We're obviously not on the same political page tho LoL
Colbert is smart but he sold out... He’s doing it for the ratings and I lost respect but Stewart and Maher they are gold
+1. .. Bill Maher hails from a family upbringing in what was the '60's '70's rural northern New Jersey. Those were the days.
Bill Maher is not only an extremely hysterical comedian but also and very intelligent person! I agree with almost everything he says!
I’m full blown conservative and i admire this guy
I love Bill Maher, but seeing him in that costume mocking Steve's death is the first time I've seen him in the light that people that hate him see him in. Now what he said about messing with animals may be true, its a bit far to mock someone for dying, especially when Steve wasn't trying to hurt or kill them.
Fuk You Although very smart and very funny I think Bill Maher is basically an ASSHOLE.
What I like the most about Bill is that even though he is mostly a Liberal he has no problem calling the left out on some of their bullshit. He has the most integrity of anyone on TV today.
Love the honesty love how Maher sees the absurdity in people's govt & lives. Straight shooter. I am very very impressed. All this & he is so so funny
"watch what they say, watch what they do"...dude, that's dark. That's actually terrifying. Is there a context to that?
In everyother country in todays society Bill isn't radical or a freethinker he is just like everyone else. If people came to Sweden they would see that we don't have to much to worry about as we don't have religious fanatics governing our country.
Bill would do us all a favour if he got out of comedy and focussed his energy and ideals on political office .....
The "Look" mentioned you as a fiscal conservative strong military among other things - I therefore wonder what Mr. Maher thinks is a good economic agenda, who should be president as such. Voting for Ralph Nader I understand and Bob Dole - I also remember his support of Ron Paul -
Godfather of political satire? Without the pioneering scathing honesty and satire of George Carlin wouldn't have happened.
DiscoveredNotCreated Maher talks about politics and current events more.
What about Lenny Bruce?
Mahers is great, I'm a big fan, but the real godfather of political satire is George Carlin!!
He’d make a great president
I think his point is simply that he doesn't know. He sees nothing wrong with admitting that he just doesn't know.
I respect him for that very much for that reason.
True Maher rules now, but Carlin is the GOD of comedy!! He´s Mozart!! I don´t want to diss Maher but I´m sure that being as good as he is, he wouldn´t dare compare himself to Carlin!!
Bill Maher is so funny!!! Smart too!!
He should run this interview on Real Time about his predictions of 2008. He was so spot on it was creepy. "Republicans say the government doesn't work. Yea, the way you do it!". One for the ages.

“I found Mrs Right.. many times”
He is a cool guy with logic and he cans see things.
This video says he doesn't like unions, is for the death penalty, and is an agnostic....he really has changed since then huh?
Bill Maher is my favorite comedian right now and not only that I agree with about 95% of everything he says, he was fkn awesome in the stand up show I saw this past Sunday night in Ft Myers Fl!!
Me too!!! I got 3 tickets to see him on Sunday April 29th 2012 when he comes to my home Fort Myers.
I can’t get enough of Bill. I would also have voted for Ralph Nader.
Its not about him being super man or being a politician who can do something. It's about the way he thinks and expresses his beliefs to the world. This is why Bill Maher is a champion of the free minds. And besides he mostly makes fun of conservative religious tea partying rightwing anti-science people.
I'm not sure if anyone noticed but Real Time tapes in the historic Bob Barker Studio!!! You can see the set of Price Is Right during this piece. I had to say that, I got really excited.
I can't get over how much the male questioner looks like Christian Bale... Even sounds like him
I may not agree with him on every issue, but he speaks truth to power & I respect him for it. I am glad that there are voices like his out on the main stage.
1. Has nothing to do with well-being of a country, look at the Netherlands,
2. They have always been there. Ask ancient greeks.
3. Your whole country was founded by immigrants who took the land from native inhabitants.
4. I don't know much abouth that topic.
5. Specifically?
6. So you are entitled to that help? Don't get me wrong, I sympathyse greatly with victims of natural disasters and such.
7. Enviromental studies are important.
8. How exactly? How are you in particular burdened by it?
"still nothing" so funny
Women and especially MARRIAGE is antiquated and kids as well.! Men focus on yourself your craft your skill and save your money invest in yourself!! Letsssgoooo
Haha evidently I watched this already at some point and left a 👎lol I honestly don't remember.

Open up your mind bill stop being so one sided
tks
@masontonio I can't wait to hear what he says about him when Real Time launches next week
Steve Irwin. Savage lolololol
His is smart and tells the truth. Some people can't handle it.
He said Obama was too green. Baher was Obama's biggest fan after his 8 years as POTUS.
Bill Maher is not filled with hate or anger. It is the willful ignorance of religion and politics that flips a switch on inside of him. It looks like anger, but it is really sorrow for his fellow man, masked in frustration.
6:28 If you're curious to know he's referring to Ken Mehlman RNC chair. And yup it was revealed years later he was gay.
I love his explanation for not getting married. I wish me and Bill were homies : /
Bill looks really good in this interview-crush.
Our country NEEDS people who calls out the crazy actions/decisions of politicians without the fluff-to get people thinking--really thinking.

@GaryNull I have to agree. I am a news junkie because of two people: my dad and Bill Maher. Real Time is the best show on cable!!!!
Do you consider him the godfather of political comedy Metal? I have to admit I like Bill Maher more than any political comedian working today. My views are very close to Bill Maher's. I'm a moderate democrat who is frustrated with my party and who really can't stand the Republicans who as Maher said do not want to get involved. Bill Maher is a great comedian because he sees through the stupid bullshit of politics.
He is the Voltiare of our time. look him up and see for yourself
Ten years on from 9/11, I think a lot of people could agree with that comment. Problem was, at the time the whole Western world was in a delicate state and it was easy to take such a statement out of context, which it most certainly was. It's not un-American to state the truth.

So true so true!!! I was there!!!!
I had no idea there was an 'Internet Edition of Nightline'....
I dissagree on his comment on Steve Irwin. In Grand Cayman @ Stingray city, I was hovering and touching stingrays that were up to 10 feet. I might have heard that Irwin was impaled by a manta ray, which may be more aggressive. Im no expert on marinelife, but he was just hovering over the ray. I was making direct contact.

Love him so much!!!
Bill, you are the male version of me. It is nice to know there are people like me out there.
Wow this really was a personal look at Bill Maher I've watched so many of his videos except this one
Bill Maher is the3 Voltaire of our time, I love this guy
not only 1 but 2 spelling errors in a 7 letter word.
Looked it up, turns out you are right. It' just seemed strange that such beliefs would co-exist with his other thoughts on science, progress etc. The frightening thing is when his audience starts applauding while he is raving about how government is making money on you while trying to eradicate a dangerous stem of a virus...
I don't see why he should be all super-man. He is a comedian after all, he's job is to make jokes, not to go out there and save the world.
He called it right about Obama.
@LOADorBUST He is coming to my hometown next month and i have 3 front row seats to see him. I agree Maher 2016!!!!
Care to give some specifics about the "ruin" part? Just interested in what you mean.
Bill has his brilliant, insightful moments and great political satire ability, but one thing is for sure: he's made millions and he is a capitalist. Let's hear him put down celebs with money... not gonna happen... he is one of them.
part two of list is coming
Can somebody tell me the name of the interviewer?
I agreed with him. Smart and honest.
I agree about the fake outrage...who fall for that?!
Only 240p eh?! 👎
so true
THE WHITE HOUSE JUST SAID THAT ALL AMERICANS SHOULD WATCH OUT FOR WHAT THEY SAY AND DO, then it was still 2002
As I have come to understand it he thinks it should all be classed as marriage with the same rights.
Yes but were not all about grammar here on the internet thank you very much.
the godfather
which chief of staff did Bill out? I tried googling it.... couldn't find it. However, I do see he sort of outted Lindsey Graham
I feel him almost wholly on the kids thing. My deal is, so many people are assholes. I want a direct hand in raising at least one that isn't.
Who are the guys Bill outed?
genius and fummy. not a bad combo.
The Steve outfit was not necessary.
i really like this guy but i didn't know that he is for death penalty and that sucks = /
one bad apple won't spoil the sell of a bushel but a majority of bad apples will.....I help those that help me....guess how many would get a JOB if forced to do so by losing their free ride...
@Justin351 "He's still too green"
Meaning he doesn't have enough experience.
Finally, someone who's honest, well-informed, intelligent and funny. I agree with HLGxFeaR, he does have sex appeal. Too bad for us white chicks, he's not interested in dating us.
