Jobs, Executive Orders, Liberal Masochism | Overtime with Bill Maher (HBO)

here we are now you're worried this question wasn't nice it is nice Tommy what do you think of Republicans like McCain and Lindsey Graham who ever do president Trump's executive order banning Muslim refugees that's a reasonable question you know I'm all for anybody standing in their truth I do think that McCain and Graham are both incredibly threatened by Donald Trump and I think that their relevancy is threatened so they're lashing out but hey you know what we're okay and in public and party we have a lot of voices so it's good right and what do you think they stand on LGBT rights I know where Trump stands I think that he's an incredibly pro-lgbt and those issues and I think that because their boyfriend what they're not I just think that was Rick Wilson do you think it's likely that Trump's base or a majority the Republican Party will turn against him great question well look at if he doesn't manage to deliver all these thousands of new coal mining jobs and to turn the economy into some magical 1950s fairy land well maybe 1850s for some of his fans if he doesn't manage to accomplish a big economic lift for the folks that really were strongly for him which are our lower middle class working White's he's going to have a lot of trouble holding on to those folks if he doesn't show actual results you can't just tweet and your way out of it right I mean he has done a lot of job boning with corporations you know he would say I've already saved jobs before I even got to the White House I say jobs because you know I also read that corporations are scared of him call me crazy call me crazy but there's a big difference between actual job creation and policies that make the economy get get lit up and a tornado and basically that's that's what all these CEO meetings turn out to be of the accounts and the stories about them are he goes in and says I built a great business did you build a great business yes we're great businessman together it's so nice and these are in the Oval Office with me and again it's like santen script mr. guys Chauncey Gardiner yeah I like television and and it's there's there's no there there oh poor you listen to all this I got Rick was a Republican yes well that's a Republican join on your but I'm actually a conservative too that's the difference between me and Trump people when I love the self-righteous conservative work the Trump people let's Trump me we are all hassel when you see it's all going nuts you love it I mean a little bit I comfort myself with that beautiful map on November 8th and they use the popular oh yeah yeah I don't want you luckily that's not what our elections are pretty son Jace's bother you this is bother you how like the Republican Party like did a 180 unlike everything like overnight like like you know executive orders when Obama did them were the worst thing in the world and now the government isn't runs like this year does that bother you like that sort of like immediate on a bath hypocrisy I don't know most presidents do that when they first come in there's usually executive dollars are not as much and not after saying it's the worst thing in the world right what's the worst thing in the world up until I think a 20th I think people one of the things that Trump really ran on one of the things people are really mad about with Washington is this thing where every six months people in both parties just start saying the opposite of what they said six months ago I mean you look at what's happening with the Supreme Court right now so yeah I mean I think that that's a problem for both but is especially a problem right now I mean like he says conflicting stuff in a single day I mean it's a single century I've seen him do it in a set right which is a tallies but I was yeah I remember when Republicans were outraged when Barack Obama was picking winners and losers in the economy yeah and now we've got a president who essentially blackmails companies and in debates I think that's I'm going to tweet me about you right if you don't do what I want you know it's it's it's a very different kind of picking winners and losers but you know President game show host is got a certain I'm not going to let them talk about it like that Sami Sam do you think that radical extremists in other religions are white supremists pose a threat to national security too sure yeah yeah everybody never have said that there weren't other problems or other bed people you know I wrote a whole book on what's wrong with Christianity and I think that it's interesting that that's so much more popular among the lot like yes I'm bad it's being yeah it's like they want it that we should get them that thing that she I picked them so we're just as bad it well there is there is masochism which is which is attractive to some people apparently push there's just a probably there's the understandable problem that we see this through the lens of a beleaguered minority when you think of what most people think of Muslims they think of non-white people who are in our society a tiny minority and therefore they're deserving and rightly so they're deserving of kind of the double protection of the white majority thinking wait a minute my being a bigoted here and and so that that sort of self scrutiny is appropriate but it's just you're not following the plot here Islam is not a race right Islam is a set of ideas yes right which which is a religion and we have it I have to be able to criticize bad ideas but you know I just add because that you know I was debating rogelio neon Meet the Press and he goes we're talking about this was right before the the announcement of whether or not the the policeman who shot Michael Brown would be held accountable and Giuliani said to me we shouldn't be talking about that that's such a small percentage police people killing black people is such a small percentage and the greatest percentage is black on black crime and then I pointed you know you point out well okay true 93 percent of black people who were killed or killed by black people but 84 percent of white people who are killed are killed by white people but by that logic if we would say that if we look at the number of people in America killed by terrorist acts in the last ten years doesn't total a hundred so at that case they wouldn't be Mohammed it would be Billy Bob who's a problem two white people in terms of their vulnerability that's apart from the argument is to make I'm saying that part of the logic that drives you can talk about it well but there's some real big difference is there my ability of not seeking nuclear weapons that we are elephant okay your SWAT for the Middle East there aren't billy-bob terrorist armies what I'm thinking there are trying to stand that but I'm saying my argument well but the false equivalence is made by a person like a Giuliani who would argue then that we can't have both and that's my point also after September of I've also suspended by by cell official hobbies out of Saudi Arabia to the tune of whatever it takes but no I'm just I'm saying to the masses of people of color who are victimized by white supremacy I'm just saying that that's an immediate concern for them as well I'm not denying I understand legitimacy as a broader concern I'm saying this is why people are also tuned in on that and that's often dismissed as orlimar yeah but but you should double down on that and realize that there's all these non-white people in muslim-majority countries who are victimized by theocracy right so they're very it's the Muslims who are suffering from terrorism and direct them is everything else that we even talked about very slow in Quebec I mean a terrorist acts against Muslim brothers and sisters and they are different and not often there but most people who are victims of that terror are Muslims themselves we understand it right and by the way until Donald Trump became president you know Islamophobia which is real we never denied that true I mean there are people who just don't like other people from because they're different yeah although I would argue it's a bad word that we shouldn't use it is a propaganda term that isn't this kind of a carrot but it's also there's a component of it that is also real ruin and actually happens but you know until Donald Trump came along there was the one in Texas the mosque that was attacked in China and in Quebec it was mostly non-violent you know it was yeah they're probably like horrible things people say to people at the supermarket at dirty looks or Facebook but now it took him literally a week to turn that violent right and it's going to get worse yeah I mean he's just going to make it worse I would bet you any amount of money but boy you're not going to turn out well for us as far as what he's actually trying to do which is keep us safer you would agree with the President's speech it's a president speaking it doesn't matter that it's the president that you know a lot of people 54% of the country voted for somebody else to be president that doesn't change the fact that the president is speaking and so when the president does things like call it a Muslim ban and treat people like they're the enemy right a whole big swath of people it yeah it's gonna have a horrible effect all right this is Fela someone who nearly won an election as a Democrat in a red state what do you hope Democrats do differently in the next election so my experience that has always been that politics is not that much different from just like being a good person like say what you believe and be honest with people really I know it's hard to believe I love how my easy huh it's not nice I mean in other words and right you know I are a boy scout now here's what I mean people hear the truth so seldom in politics that is very disarming so when you actually meet Donald Trump not that he ever tells the truth but he you gotta fight the others for him unfiltered and he doesn't look he doesn't sound like a politician and he is in his way genuine I mean that's not a good thing ear wave lies are genuine but he is really who he is and in so a brunch bag from Queens search for me till my president thank you absolutely absolutely we only get one president so anyway for me I don't know where to go from there just don't let president Bannon hear you say that oh then he likes it that way all right all right we're way late thank you very much everybody [Applause]

Dude, she wasn't being ignored. She just clearly had nothing to say

[u/fistfullaberries]

This is how the overtime panel works. One question from and online forum on Maher's website for each guest and then a little discussion. It's only 10 minutes.

[u/The_False_Prophet]

Of course she wasn't ignored, she just doesn't have an original thought to add in after she's expressed what her writers tell her to say, in terms of policy discussions. I think we can all see that.

Guys, come on though, OP is "trying(his)hardest88"...he tried.

[u/CSCchamp]

Although I completely disagree with what she has to say, I commend her for going on shows with left leaning hosts. She gets accused of just saying what her listeners want but I think these are her actual opinions and she wants them to be heard.

In contrast I don't see Sean Hannity going on shows and having his beliefs challenged. I think we need more calm disagreements in our political discourse like this.

[u/[deleted]]

I watched that episode. The whole time she yelled "But what about the coal miners who voted for Trump". If I was there I would have told her "Fuck those coal miners, there industry is dead and they are unwilling to face that hard truth".

[u/chodeboi]

She's a pretty face, but always obviously parroting whenever I see her rants. It's not genuine and I'm unimpressed. I respect Coulter more than this decoration since Ann at least comes up with her own batshit.
