YES!!, thanks for pointing it out, what a beautiful theatre of conversation etiquette. loved it. i finished this overtime feeling really good. civilisation at work!

LOVED that.

too bad maher's panels are 99% elitist crap

I love Fareed. Wherever you see him, he conducts himself with professionalism and class, instead of being the loudest or most obnoxious one in the room.

I didn’t think he sounded so polite when he made that stupid remark about Kennedy and conspiracy theories. I lost respect for him. He’s just like all the rest. Guess where he works. We go on about how we have to pick from the lesser of two evils, when we have a refreshing, knowledgeable, qualified…I could go on for an hour about how wonderful Kennedy is.

I'd love that. And Esper turning to ask/clarify to Fareed during the first question. They seemed like the genuinely wanted to learn from each other.

he is way to bias

He was definitely raised well. If we only had more parents like his to raise kids with humility and kindness. What a different world we'd have!

Sharp assessment! Thanks, and indeed a sign of a good person

There's been much better overtime than this 😅

It’s a bunch of geriatrics’s conversing…

@@Greenskies321 so?

@@Greenskies321 it was much better than last week where the "young" person couldn't shut up

Well educated are usually civilized.

Rubbish Fareed is just a rep for wahabi Islam. He's the PR for the medieval slaughter house.

Fareed is whip smart in every sense

If you like Fareed you would love owning a pet rock

@@YBHMLhe is hella smart. Why would you say that? Does he talk above your head?

​@@user-nf7bl7mb5qhe is barely Islamic. So islamophobic

composure - great word to describe this.

All his shows should be like this. Having people who want to argue with each other is pointless and don't always reflect well on Bill.

😆😆😆😆😆😆😆🤣

Well rounded? Lmao

It's never a well rounded panel

​@@chipdouglaschipdouglas still haven't learned big boy words?

Sure - we watch the US from the UK with the 'inverse' concern. There you have almost perpetual campaigning, and Citizens United made a nonsense of politics by just fuelling it with $$$$$$$$$. UK limits spend per constituency to a TINY sum and campaign financial limits about a thousandth of the US, six week campaigns and votes all hand counted in one evening.

@@mikehvirdis Irish here also looking on in some bewilderment. Not sure exactly what limits are on political donations and campaign spending, but they certainly exist. Also, like the UK and most Euro countries, when we have an election year, it's just for a few months at most. I think posters can only go up 2 months ahead of an election. They do slightly get around those restrictions, by sending out circulars to letterboxes in their areas, but that's fairly benign and can be considered informative. You are completely correct regarding Citizens United, it's a travesty and would be laughable if weren't such a serious blight.

i don't know enough about how it works there but in canada there is no set date for an election. it can occur anytime up to 5 years after the last one. so an election is announced and it's 6 weeks after it's announced.

Not going to happen anytime soon with this conservative Supreme Court. If somehow Congress did pass another campaign finance law, the Supreme Court would likely rule it unconstitutional.

Wow!@@ronblack7870

how politics should be

That is true, but if we're discussing simple respect, why did Bill keep calling him Dr. Mark Esper over and over this episode, but he never referred to Dr. Fareed Zakaria or Dr. Jonathan Haidt as Dr.? Why praise and honor only the Trump minion in the group? All 3 have PhDs. Pretty disrespectful.

Hahaha, you mean no Andrew Sullivan on the panel! ;-)

@@inyourfez I imagine he's more familiar with Haidt and Zakaria, as they've been on the show multiple times before.

@@UnchainedEruption So that means he treats them with less respect and doesn't call them Dr. on live TV? Familiarity has nothing to do with it.

I agree except for Bill and his "I was right" routine about covid.

On *REAL TIME* when they brought up NBC and McDaniels... the backlash wasn't over the lies as much as it was that woman tried to help thumper *overthrow* are election. Guess Bill isn't paying as much attention as he claims he is.

watch Gutfled way better

Maher is always the lowest intellect on his panels

He's great on Israel though ​@alexandereckert5939

Social media is the basket where everyone puts their animus, resentment, fear, bias, pettiness, insecurity, paranoia, vulnerability, anger, frustration, feelings of alienation, etc... It's the digital version of kicking the dog, punching a hole in the drywall.

What's so funny about that, is that it's actually true. There has been a ?campaign against saying Good Morning because it imposes a condition upon whomever are saying it to.

One of my favorite moments from a recent Curb Your Enthusiasm: Larry sees text that reads "Be the reason someone smiles today." Larry: "Oh F you!"

exactly true

💯

I agree. Bill gets a lot of criticism for his political views but his show as a whole is really quite remarkable and worth watching. It’s politics combined with comedy, it’s a breath of fresh air every Friday night.

If we can get psycho Traitor Trump out of ours lives we could get back to some sanity.

​@@darrenwells3642nonsense. The show is a shell of what it used to be.

He complained Republicans won't do his show.

​@@cuzndupre2822And yet u keep watching it... Hater

Pretty sure Bill doesn't, because it most likely means he's no longer on CNN.

No edits

It's important to keep in mind that investing is a zero-sum game with both good and bad days. However, by spending and investing wisely and diversifying your holdings, you can minimize risks and maximize gains.

Hiring a knowledgeable investment advisor with a wide range of options can help you achieve this and leave little room for regrets.

Currently, the best market strategy is to work with a credible investing coach. Since a while ago, I've been in touch with a coach, mostly because I lack the depth of understanding and mental toughness to deal with the ongoing market conditions.

You lack the information necessary to succeed in a competitive market, not because you're doing anything wrong, but rather because of your lack of experience.

Due to the significant falls, I need advice on how to rebuild my portfolio and develop more successful tactics. Where can I find this FA?

Agreed!

Maybe the best

Yeah, everybody agrees with everybody no opposing views what does that tell you?

Tonights show was one of the better shows I've seen in a long time and I watch every week. Great show tonight, Bill!

Yes, he has the required TDS level. He deftly directed all matters to Trump.

@@1247.cccccc Esper, who was T-Rump appointee for Secretary of Defense has also stated disparaging comments about T-Rump. 🤔😜💙🗳️ It only takes a matter of for some T-Rump supporters to see the light and to speak the truth about T-Rump. Sadly, most of us knew his deficiencies all along! 😉

Except his take on Israel

you're gay

He was on Joe Rogan too.

If we ever manage to stop our kids from using phones in school, this man will have played a huge part in that victory. It can't be overstated how bad they are for our kids.

And with Jonah Goldberg on his podcast.

Thank-you for sharing this....just watched it. Very informative and frightening at the same time. Especially loved the prophetic clip of Arianna Huffington.

Yes, it was also a very good recent Rogan episode.

Tell me u don’t understand Citizens United and have never read the case without telling me…

America understands Citizens United. Government for sale to untraceable dark money. ​@@MarkG-nl4oq

​@MarkG-nl4oq Corporations are people and money is free speech is pretty clear.

@@davidguelette7036 It’s not because once again Citizens United vs FEC did not decide that corporations were entitled to personhood or that money was equivalent to speech. These are brainless Democrat talking points to gaslight voters who don’t know anything about campaign finance laws or the precedent set in Boston v Bellotti that corporations had free speech rights when it comes to advocating for political casues and ballot initiatives and Buckley v Vallejo which ruled that limitations on independent expenditures are unconstitutional to begin with as corporations, unions and non-profits are made of people who have the right individually or collectively to use their money to excerise their First Amendment rights and limitations on contributions to counteract corruption is entirely justified but trying to stifle political speech to counteract corruption is totally unconstitutional.

More money is raised with small dollar contributions than big doners. Small doners are causing more problems that big doners because they are less well informed and give money to the radical candidates of both parties. This is how we get the crackpots running who know nothing about running a government.

yeah and cut out the opening comedy monologue, i can see his stand up for that. and lose the opening guest segment too

Allowing? This was a civil debate. No one shouted him down.

@@FuKuntt yes it was civil but during the episode he was talked over a lot when he wasn’t done with his point. He was too respectful and did not get to finish his thoughts

@@dbrav727 perhaps. But at least it was an actual debate with actual appropriate support and real feedback. It's a shame its still an hour long tv show. I'd like to see an extended interview by Bill perhaps available on podcast.

Dont waste your time, Bill conflates crypto with his disgust of the younger generations. His "I was wrong about Bitcoin" speech is a few years off yet.

😂😂😂

lol. Wrong crowd.

@user-pu2yy8xd9x If you say so, I'll pray for you.Just like I do Bill. 😉😘

@@user-pu2yy8xd9x In your opinion and frankly honey🙄

Norway was not as wealthy as their immediate neighbors but certainly not a 3rd world basket case, and they had a well established democratic form of government .... and they had Henrik Ibsen .... Edvard Grieg ..... Top talent, on par with the best of the rest of Europe

​@@DarksideDave42but the others were also not that rich, except, Denmark. Norway is probably, the richest country in the world now and it's mostly because of oil

7 am out here on the west coast .... same time as Ali Velshi who is also brilliant .... but then Fareed is repeated at 10 am ..... If I was for some crazy reason restricted to only one hour of TV per week .... it would be hard to persuade me to watch something else ....

I'll hate on Russia and Putin as much or more than anyone critical of the regime and the atrocities it's committing, but those were 140 (or more) civilians murdered. Cheap jokes should never have a place when such barbarism is on display. That they (or their ilk) keep targeting music concerts is utterly heartbreaking to me as someone that just loves how music brings people from a wide spectrum together.. whether it's Eagles of Death Metal, Ariande Grande, or Jason Aldean

@@benwu7980 You know you're watching a comedy show, right?

@@spiralscratch7823 Thank you for that most insightful of things anyone ever said.

There's very clearly no paid overclapper. There have always been overexcited audience members.

@@ucdwags00they will have to pay her now much more

@@RJT80 There is something funny about these TDS people being reduced to a bird that says, "Koo, koo" all the time. "Koo attempt, koo attempt!"

That’s not correct. “Dutch disease” refers to the revaluation of a country’s currency that occurs when it has large oil exports which result in its non-oil products becoming non-competitive and leading to deindustrialization. This happened to a degree in the Netherlands. However the Netherlands was already an advanced democracy with a successful market economy and highly developed human capital. What the panel was discussing is how primitive societies fail to develop human capital and modern civil and economic institutions when their elites can rely on oil exports.

@@georgemiller151 Oil is secondary to the point of the term. "Dutch disease is a concept that describes an economic phenomenon where the rapid development of one sector of the economy (particularly natural resources) precipitates a decline in other sectors. It is also often characterized by a substantial appreciation of the domestic currency." Source: CFI

This comment had more new information than the majority of this Overtime did. 👍

I think the concept of the "resource curse" is more relevant here.

@@themaskedman221 Dutch disease is simply the academic term for resource curse. Consider them synonymous and interchangeable.

Thanks for the recommendation. I'll pick it up along with his new book.

anxious generation? As if every young generation didn't have them. It was called bullying in the day and racism

.. Not just a Conservative pundit.. McDaniel was an active participant in the Jan 6th Insurrection.. So wrong hiring her at all.. Glad some at NBC had honor..

Oh boy Rosy...I'd suggest widening your sights a bit more.

I've been heavily involved in several aspects of the arts for many years - theatre, film, comedy, classical music, popular music ... not to mention journalism. My home library is the largest room in my house (and, yes, I've read them, a wide variety of history, fiction, nonfiction, science fiction, health, etc. etc....) My op eds have won accolades. But if you don't agree with or like my preferences ... sorry, not sorry! 😛

@@RosemaryH4259 it's not about agreeing or liking. It's about broadening and expanding. What really was said on this show? Maher is a talking head, as are his guests, and nothing is really EVER discussed in depth because it's meant to be that way. It's also why the format works the way it does...like fast food.

From your reply I would surmise you consider all your sources and draw your own conclusions regarding CONTENT. I believe your compliment is meant for the particular STYLE of this host and show, and how comedy and topical content are combined.

That is your opinion, which I do not share. I am fully aware of the limitations of this genre of television program, and enjoy this program because it works hard to break out of those limitations. It cannot be, nor is it meant to be, a graduate course at Harvard. I simply enjoy it, and just for what it offers, and I fold it into my repertoire of information and fun. I also do not consider him a "taking head" or the show to be "fast food". That's my opinion.

Trump 2024

The majority do take the third choice. Stay at home.

@DKirby Spot on 100% accurate to the reality of the situation!

Whooooo ?? 🦉

Indeed, the Alberta government is a textbook case of Dutch Disease.

Canada is never mentioned when discussing anything. That's a proper wake for the nation's last 9 years.

Neither is Norway but they are set for life (well maybe for the next generation). Also, both would be good examples of "doing it right" and investing into other industries.

No one cares about us because we're a small population of boring pushovers ruled by oligarchs. We're basically America's lap dog, the pseudo state in waiting. Whatever the U.S. does, Canada usually follows right behind them doing something very similar. So, there's no need to think of us as a separate entity.

​@@yuriydee this is a good follow on point. Both Canada and Norway fit the mold that was mentioned when discussing the United States - countries that had stable government and systems, then discovered oil. Taking time to invest that oil income into something that helps the average citizen, putting in systems that also prevent mass corruption.

100% , I don't have a smartphone, but have been online since early 1990's. I can be crude or crass or downright insulting on some sites, but not others. There's an old term or saying regarding using swear words, something like how can/ should change the language use if aren't among friends, but are talking to your grandma or pastor. Social Media has completely removed that need to filter

It's the phone that made Internet-enabled anonymity ubiquitous. (Say that 3 times fast)
