As out of her depth as any Real Time guest I've ever seen.

intolerable....

Well put!

She said if you take the path of constant resistance, 2018 will be lost. She is right, but you're all too stupid to see it. 8 years of Trump coming up. I wonder if you'll have figured it out by then...

+James Sunderland Bullshit. Remember what happened after the rise of the Tea Party? Well, the left is making the Tea Party look like a storm in a tea cup.

bemasaberwyn55 you're supposed to chill out and support democracy and get on with your life.

Yea, MrPinkroo just sit back, let Trumplestiltskin just do whatever he wants and have no checks and balances. See how fast we become WWII Germany. Think please before you talk. Would do us all alot of good. He does not support democracy, he supports dictatorships, hence why he fights with our democratic allies and is buddy buddy with our Dictator and communist rivals. As long as we show our voice and let him know how fucking stupid he is on a regular basis he cannot pull the wool over the nations eyes.

Part of Democracy is calling out stupid crap the leaders are doing when they do it, not just bending over and hoping they remember the lube.

Darkhorde Trumpelstiltskin 😆😆 that's a new one for me!

@Mrpinkroo, yeah that works when you have rational people in charge lol. You might be content with your ignorance, but I'm not gonna stand by and let liars and crooks get away with stuff. You might have no morals, but that doesn't mean I have to give up mine. You got your ass handed to you on here in the comments lol. I suggest thinking before speaking next time.

It's a stupid question. But that character is based on Edith Head.

that lady is Incredible

@@swarnimasingh1598 no is it not

Yep

It's a mad house! A maaaaaad house!

She's just a small old Napoleon Complex woman. She didn't bring anything to the table. She's on the same level as Milo. She's just a troll. She provided no input.

Godless Libertarian Keep talking.

Godless Libertarian kind of like you're doing here?

fucking died @ this

730days You won.

aahahahahaha holy fuck you're right :D

OMG, I didn't even realize that!

hahahahhahah omg so true

I’m always in awe of politicians ignorance

Nipunsayswtf Fran at 10:07...issa needs to keep his hands to himself!!

leesa luv I know! 😊 Love her vigor and wit! She really stood up to all the crap Issa was spouting! Wish Bill Maher would've supported her more and Seth McFarlane had spoken up more!!! He was always drowned out by the dumb Nomani (fawning over him the whole time) talk!

She's just a small old Napoleon Complex woman. She didn't bring anything to the table. She's on the same level as Milo. She's just a troll.

What an annoying old racist jew

Nick Gojc how ironic you calling her racist

VBSN 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

lmao

VBSN W

VBSN you mean that's not Edna!?

She was passive aggressive, and totally self serving. Trying to sell that book. She's a soft, phony Milo wannabe.

Who was based on Edith Head, she did a lot of the wardrobe for Hitchcock.

Same. High vr 5!

Yupp

I didn't know that Edna Mose had a doppelganger in our universe.

She's dumb

+James Sunderland LOL. You obviously have no idea who Fran Lebowitz is, or if you do you're being dishonest about her intelligence. Or, you're showing your own.

That would be my overtime question. "How do you feel to be the obvious inspiration behind the kickass character that is Edna Mode"

Aviral Puri that lady was a fuckin idiot. lol she just shouted minute points.

Zia Choudhury islam, like christianity, is long over due for extermination not reformation. teaching your kids that bullshit is absolutely child abuse.

Zia Choudhury thanks for giving me some hope haha

kevin storey hey Kevin, go fuck yourself

Kevin story oh look, a piece of shit atheist who likes telling people what to do. It's cancer like yourself that make people hate atheists as much as religion

Diva Artist I'm glad you're here to speak for all libtard butthurt buttercups..... dipstick

Man, she didn't say much, but IMO, she totally owned that debate!

Joe Ajjoub I agree

D E at least Maher was willing to silence Milo. This went sideways because he didn't want to attack her, and I don't blame him because it would have made him look like an asshole and then the whole episode would have gone even more downhill. She was just defending her cognitive and emotional dissonance as if she's chatting over tea and forgetting she's got HBO cameras in her face and every second of screen time costs a LOT of money. She was more concerned with hanging onto her personal worldview than following the line of topical conversation and letting other people speak. Basically she seems to have issues (related to being religious, specifically) and although it hurt to watch and wasted everyone's time (Im sure hes pissed), he did the right thing by being gentle IMO.

She did have a really hard time articulating her point. Some truths are just too ugly to accept. Being told you're insane and un-educated because you agree with the president is an example of this for tens of millions of Americans. To reach those people, we do need something other than ridicule. Seth Meyer's question is a perceptive one, though: "What else are we supposed to say?" Being repectful is not the job of comedians. Their job is always to ridicule the ridiculous. Trump is just so full of it that they're having a field day. And the news media too is largely just reporting what is going on. The ugly truth that comes from that messenger is not their fault either. It is the guy the right voted into office.

Greg, I think you're confusing Seth MacFarlane with Seth Meyers..

her constant victim look is so frustrating to watch, especially when she thinks "humanity is in the center"... not when the right is well beyond the oppression line

She is not fat but she is old and dumb.

or he was getting tired of that shill's bullshit.

She sounded like she's on acid.

Agreed. Asra Nomani talks a lot...in a simultaneously condescending _and_ overly-sympathetic tone, but the actual content and consequence of what she's saying is utterly vapid and vacant. It seems like any adult conversation just flies right over her head...and yet she's completely unaware of it. She's like the personification of those corny motivational posters with cliche empty feel-good jargon that _seems_ profound...but objectively isn't.

Look at Asra Nomani's face starting @ *15:00* after Seth said _"...coming from the white house that's a big fucking problem."_ What *_is_* that expression on her face? Confusion? Bafflement? Medicated stupor? What? She is just _so strange_...especially on this episode. She just seemed.....medicated. Like mental molasses. It was just weird...

zero62422002 she sounded so idiotic, all of these trump supporters dont have any intellect

She said we should accept a theory that the earth is flat? Then again, she is a muslim, feminist, immigrant who voted for Trump. She ticks all the boxes for Trump to put her on the first plane out! This is it America... you have officially entered the twilight zone.

John Arthurs j

When the guy who created *Family Guy* thinks the White House is a farce --- Big Problem!

Seth doesn't know shit about politics. He supports Bernie because he thinks it's generous to offer poor people a bunch of free stuff, which ironically destroys our economy even more. But the fact is.. You can afford to support that when you have so much money you'll be rich when your dead. If Seth we're an everyday worker out in the real world, still working hard for his dreams... Also, Seth on trump saying the media didn't report the standing ovation.... It's the fact that the media will hide SO much in such effort to make trump look bad. Which even after a year of him not being president they still do..... THAT ... Should scare the shit out of you.

Dude Seth knows more about politics than any Republican that I can think of.

too bad he's not intelligent when it comes to writing a funny movie script.

@@whateverforever3785 you are an idiot

wendy koval i love you

he wasnt drunk enough...didnt get his booze on time, and kicked in too late.

nadia mccall Best comment ever.

and the reasons why you voted for Clinton are absolutely crap.

And yet, a WHOLE LOT less crap than Trump.

she never actually even GAVE a reason. pathetic.

You completely missed the point. The response isn’t to what you disagree with it is become a blanket “Racist, Bigot, Misogamist, -ist” slander. I understand that and I’m sick of seeing that from people too.

Asra says "Trump or Milo can say whatever he wants, but if you respond to them and get angry to abuse it's your fault" What the fuck? Victim blaming 101, in 'how to enable a malignant narcissist textbook.' That's not compassion woman, that's giving in

K Ham Well that's what I was thinking, until she talked about Milo. I think this lady is oblivious to what has been going on in the political circle over the years, and is only looking at the response from the left without seeing what the right has been doing. I agree with you on that the generalisation of Trump supporter is not good for the country, and for the democrats. The best thing the left can do is try to make them aware of the hypocrisy of the Trump administration. But as far as the lady in the pink goes, I think she is living in her own little bubble oblivious to the machinations of the political environment.

"muslim femenist" is such an oxymoron! And I am a liberal Iranian! U do not speak for me or defend me! Liberals stop sugarcoating Islam! You will regret it dearly! omg

Agreed. There is no moderate Islam.

Ian Boothby So true.

Ian Boothby lol

Example..?

That's ironic coming from the left that is in an unholy alliance with Islam, the antithesis of everything the left stands for....just to get the muslim vote.

this is the sort of panic that makes ppl, have a "blind eye" she has the whole point "50% of the ppl voted in him" do I need to remind ppl that u have a country with a lot of armed ppl that can go to the streets and do damage... U should be afraid, in some of these points.

Anthony Harvey Source?

I think he meant Senator Chuck Schumer. He's the one who said it about the shoe on the other foot. Though, I would let you know President Obama said in 2009: "Our election is the will of the American people. Republicans will need to get on board, or stand to the side." President Obama was actually lobbying in congress before he left to push the idea of healthcare reforms as being called "Trumpcare."

Well, try winning every once in a while, then you might have the chance to choose your own Supreme Court nominees.

Zachary Wheeler If the DNC ever acknowledges there are problems outside of the LGBTQ community and black community. Then they may win.

Anthony Harvey Very sad, but true.

why did you say you were Indian? seems irrelevant to your argument

Asra Nomani talks a lot...in a simultaneously condescending _and_ overly-sympathetic tone, but the actual content and consequence of what she's saying is utterly vapid and vacant. It seems like any adult conversation just flies right over her head...and yet she's completely unaware of it. She's like the personification of those corny motivational posters with cliche empty feel-good jargon that _seems_ profound...but objectively isn't.

This is exactly what you hear from a lot of Trump voters "maybe you should've been nicer to us and we wouldn't have voted for him". Every human being, adult or child, has used a version of this excuse when they royally fuck up. "Maybe you should've done this and I wouldn't have totaled the car!" "Maybe you should've done this and I wouldn't have forgotten to lock the house and gotten us robbed!" You're a fucking adult. Take responsibility for your actions without following it up with a "but". Its not the world's responsibility to sit you down and talk to you in a nice calming voice. Not that you would've listened anyways. You had already willfully ignored so many bad signs when you voted for that clown, I'm not sure what else anyone could've told you.

s Subhan she comes across like she has a mild mental disorder.

Yep. I'll definitely not buy her book (nor read anything she writes). I didn't know who she was to begin with.

Fran Lebowitz = old lady. She’s savage.

Glo Kay It's fucked up isn't it?

Naturally. Feelings only matter when they're liberal.

I have to agree. All those who say liberals caused Trump to win because they were too busy being politically correct---hmmm...Milo Y. called Larry W 'obtuse' for rightly pointing out that painting all Trangender people as sexual predators was wrong just as it was wrong when done to gay men and women, then told Bill he shouldn't put such 'awful people' on the panel and needed better quality guests. None of those insults seemed to bother her just them dropping the F-bomb. A world that Milo is no stranger to throwing around. Crazy. She seems to think voting in an abomination is fine; being impolite a deal breaker.

Glo Kay There's a difference between being mean and dissing someone's movie & a complete character assassination/falsely accusing someone of being linked to paedophilla

Sorry, but you don't get Asra because you're too stupid.

Your comment sir! You made my KZfaq excursion today.

Yes, she is filled with such intellect with her incredibly large vocabulary and well contructed, articulated arguments. A real behemoth to deal with as far as discussions go.

How hugs Not in this discussion on Real Time.

Other than her comments about Bernie, I love her.

"Rather have a smart congress [than a smartphone]"... Yes, because the two are mutually-exclusive and completely intermingled... What a fool. I don't see why people think that she is smart.

what's her name? I wanna see more of her.

Her name is Fran Lebowitz.

***** I know. I'm in support of her statement.

Doesn't make what she said not incredibly hypocritical.

Edna Mode

Keely Nelsen ikr

Chris McElroy not the rest of the us tho 😀

Everyone should be angry that almost all of the Republicans are enabling the cover-up about Russia's interference and hacking. That should not be a partisan issue. It borders on treason if it's true. Everyone should be angry that our president might be getting orders from a foreign government. If it really isn't true, fine, investigate it and find evidence that proves it's false. But just the possibility that it might be true is unacceptable. It's not worth the risks.

jrasicmark1 as far as I know it has been investigated and no proof of that claim has been found.

postal69... as far as you know ???!!! That just says you KNOW NOTHING !!! WHEN was this investigation you're talking about ??? WHO performed this investigation ??? DAMN, you people are stupid !!!!

idk who she is, but from what I saw in this video, I think she was the worst one on the panel. She had no actual arguments, just elementary fallacies ("Isn't what this person just said absurd/ridiculous?" with no reasoning why)

@@nickm.5931 I've seen her in other shows and there's even a documentary about her on Netflix. She comes across as quite snobbish and offers soundbites most of the time.

Siddhant Jadhav she should still get a cellphone.

She clearly doesn't need one, she's dialed in without one :)

It is the primary way the people she is suppose to be representing communicate.

Siddhant Jadhav Yeah but by smart she means out of touch DLC types like Feinstein

she's retarded. i got brain cancer from listening to her bullshit

Yes, real BS & no one called her out on her CRAP!! BILL?

Lebowitz is a bit too hardcore left for me. She's a left wing nut.

NSNTV who the fuck is Brain Griffan?

Zeth BagVarlane

What was without substance? Everything Maher and McFarlane said were without evidence or substance....Please go on because she was spot on.

she actually is the first woman to win

She just gave the the advice they need lol. No matter how good their policies may be, the democrats have just become so unpalatable that average people tend to range from ambivalence to "Donald Trump spite vote" when they start talking

I wish she'd said that.

PC160 Her look said it all...

He also tried to talk to the Congressman and shut out everyone else. Typical white male dick conservative.

Thor Riley Me too , she is tied first as my favorite character in that movie, which is a great film IMHO . I loved it when she wacked Elasta Girl across the face! Did you know it was the writer/director Billy Bird who did her voice? So iconic

Thor Riley no capes!

ShangHighRoller Her brain is playing la la land!

Yup

ShangHighRoller Saying that a muslim is a space cadet is racist.

its not racist. he didnt even mention her being muslim. stop *nit picking...side note* (there's your type correction) cause it matters on youtube.

Eoin Jennings You dumb fuck.

She had absolutely nothing of substance to say either

Why was she there? She can convey any intelligence whatsoever.

Karen Ellis He is the richest Congressman...

His constituents are posting missing person notice on him.

I can see why he's been elected so many times. Smooth talker in the face of outspoken liberals..

We'll have to see how far he goes with this Trump/Russia investigation.

Issa is pathological liar, his attacks upon all of Obama's administration were virulent & lies.

Ellen Allde he is a control freak perfectionistic insecure beast

Ellen Allde yes you can see her recoil and I think I can hear even the crowd groaning and booing when he puts his paws on her. Fuck Issa.

Powda Toast Mane she handled herself with strength and brilliance, I guess that's why he felt he had to attempt to overpower her physically as he was threatened by her ability to do so with her brain

I am afraid we will have to wait until the 2020 presidential election to do this. And that election is a long way off!

Trump will win again, then you can cry some more. Maybe go riot and trash some neighborhoods. Leftists are good at that. They're like kids that throw temper tantrums.

Not until you fix the educational system that allows these ignorant to rise in society. An educated population are not easily fooled by bullshit. The uneducated who believe in ridiculous mambo-jumbo, come from bad educational systems, and are easily fooled and impressed with bullshit. There is a huge difference education makes. Specially in a democracy where the next door idiot has the same vote as you, and will cancel you out. Not a problem in a tyrant regime, as the dictator does whatever he likes, and if he is smart, he can do a lot of good for his people.

And who was spouting off about taking their guns into the streets if Trump lost because, you know, rigged, blah blah blah. It wasn't the 56% of the people who voted for NOT TRUMP. You're a hypocrite, and a stupid one, at that. Try not sitting on your brain; if it's not dead, maybe letting it have some oxygen will help.

You apparently have a selective memory about the last 8 years and how Barack was shit on by the right, which by the fucking way was waaaaay fucking worse.. But that is ok because you like many on the right are what the laymen call laymen......

1) This show is a rare breed in America, 2) this show says a lot of risky non-PC shit ....but in that same breath, it doesn't always successfully highlight & dissect issues affecting minorities. Which sucks because, as stated, there are few other shows that cover this political ground.

ukboy Really? I generally envy the UK for its intolerance of bullshit politicians, mostly on actual news channels (yes, still to some extent, the BBC too). American politicians are exceptionally good at dodging questions or "we've run out of time!" before anything meaningful is scraped out of them. In the UK, due to its small size, I've seen plenty of bastards get assaulted in the streets because of what they said (or didn't say)- Theresa May comes to mind?

Eamonn Murphy what makes you say that? True, i dont remember much even when i skim the vid but she did say something pretty obvious by the end, that calling all/most trump voters dumb and white will mark the DNCs next defeat. I will say this to BM; when you have no heart and no brains that means you resort to relying on luck. And a populist coming from the left sweeping the nation like trump isnt likely. You are out of women and blacks to nominate and shit out of luck, Bill, so get your shit together and dont you dare support the likes of hillary again! And by the way can someone explain to me why the establishment loves blaming the voters so much when its the ELECTORS who decide the presidency? Oh yea its bc they will never admit to any wrongdoing no matter the cost.

@@nonyanonya6292 SO WE NOW HAVE A LUNATIC FOR PRESIDENT. YOU REALLY SHOWED THOSE LIBS

As long as both Republicans AND Democrats can benefit from the existence of the Electoral College, it won't go ANYWHERE! The only 3rd party candidate that ever received any Electoral Votes was a former Democrat named Theodore Roosevelt! Even though Ross Perot received nearly 20% of the Popular Vote, he received Z-E-R-O Electoral Votes! You'd need an overwhelming majority in the Senate, the House of Representatives AND every state governor to vote AGAINST the Electoral College to eliminate it! Thank you, James Madison AND Alexander Hamilton!

@@nonyanonya6292 We are defined by our actions. Voting for Trump is a dumb thing to do, therefore anyone who does it is dumb. Lets please stop pretending that everyone deserves to be treated as if they're smart, ok?

Seth and Bill are idols of mine after seeing them on shows like this. It's that "thank fuck it's not just me thinking it" observational stuff I really admire about them. I mean, maybe not so much the US politics stuff since I'm not so clued up on that, but most definitely the atheism and Family Guy. I don't even care how it's viewed, it's a brilliant piece of satire in my opinion and one of my favourite comedies of all time. The only other shows that spoke to me in the same way were Peep Show and Red Dwarf. The Inbetweeners should get an honourable mention for representing me as a 16 year old though :p

mattcascade Agreed and also on shows. Family Guy is the US comedy I really identify with- also agree on Peep Show and Red Dwarf, both brilliant. I think we need a panel show like this in the UK. We used to have Mock The Week. I suppose The Last Leg isn't bad. This show feels a bit more fair though. I mean, the last leg is like 100% lefty. This show at.least gives the right a chance. i'm not so left that I don't appreciate hearing that.

Seth is a genius in a multitude of ways.

Don't like to throw the word genius around too casually, but Seth went from cartoon impresario to revamping Cosmos, and he turns out to be a very good singer, as Sinatra called himself, "a saloon singer." Those are impressive credentials, indeed.

He’s like Katie Hopkins, only reason he does what he does is because people acknowledge it. If everyone just ignored them, they’ll shut the fuck up.

Darrell isis is dysfunctional

she's fucking annoying

I knoooow what a condescending move that was

The idea that because we can "afford" 4% we should spend 4% is indeed ridiculous. If we include war time spending, veteran services, and maintaining our nuclear stockpile (none of these included in that 4% number), then we've already exceeded the 4% number (at 4.7%). If you give the Pentagon more money that they neither want nor need, you won't reduce wastage on expensive toys, you make it more likely. This is because the Pentagon is required to use those funds and justify that use. In the short term, we can afford 4% (actually over 5% with those extras I mentioned), but Trump wanted to increase troop levels by 25%, and build the fleet back to WWII levels (even though we don't need that many ships unless he is planning a new World War). Long term, this spending will cut into other services, like education and healthcare. Eventually, if spending continues to grow at the same rate, we won't be able to afford anything but funding our military. The point being that sure, lots of countries spend more than 4% on their military, and you can't just look at raw numbers to determine if too much is being wasted. But countries that spend more than 4% usually have poor services and/or cut critical programs for civilians. That weakens a country and does more damage to national security than just maintaining the military budget we already have. I support a strong military, but we are kidding ourselves if we think our military isn't currently funded adequately (or more than adequately).
