Larry King Live: Bill Maher on the Stimulus Bill, Prosecuting Bush, the Economy and More

[bhstone1]

This was great until he started talking about medical stuff, and then he sounds like a conspiracy theorist.

[drunkenboxer1985]

bill maher is on point with many things. his crush on obama and far left views are thoroughly annoying tho. the stimulus WAS a pork gilled spending bill. Obama isnt much better than bush. Hes just a better liar

[ZeckRichards]

Bill brings up a good point. These are people who won't let go of medeval beliefs. If you read about what they believe, you might think that fighting for them is not really worth it. They want to be stupid, I say let them. If we want to prevent terrorist attakcs, just tighten up our security and make sure you have people who can do their damn job!

[jceja24]

We need to "fight" this "war" with more intelligence and insight if "we" are ever able "win" this thing. Perhaps cutting their supply of any or all of there supplies would help.

[jceja24]

I must agree on the Afgan and Pakistan issue: They are very intertwined. But "we" seem to have their Governments support. However I dont believe that going in there, with more force will solve anything.

We need to consider better methods at solving these "wars"... I read an article the other day, and these "al-queda" persons had rock launchers, trucks, food, housing and training supplies. And I asked my self, how do these guys maintain their operations?

[ZeckRichards]

@jceja24 Good point! These guys are desert people. I mean seriously, how the hell can they get AKs and RPGs in a damn desert? They're getting it from high power countries such Russia, China and even the United States. It's kind of like shooting yourself.

[dracpcpp]

"religion is not real but love is"

amen bill.

[brian8793]

Rush Limbaugh is smart, Bill Maher is a scumbag. Pork?

WTF? Why are we getting ourselves in more debt. More than 40% of Americans don't even pay taxes

FUCKIN LIBERAL BULLSHIT

[gogosox82]

Rush isn't smart, he spews lies and propaganda. If u believe anything he says, u are nothing but a sheep. BTW we're "getting ourselves in more debt" b/c if we don't spend money foreign investors will pull their money out and we will tell them we don't have the money, this country will be over.

[brian8793]

Wow, your not very bright gogosox. Foreign investors don't want to come here because we have THE HIGHEST BUSINESS TAX RATE IN THE WORLD.

Do you know what Capital is? Do you know what PORK is? Do you realize that the top 5% earners in this country pay the majority of taxes?

No, I bet you don't, but I'm sure you like to feel good by listening to Obamas rehearsed bullshit speeches. Makes you feel all warm inside doesn't it?

Liberals are the scum of our society

[gogosox82]

If they don't want to come here like u say, then y haven't they pulled their money out of our banks? It's b/c it's very profitable to do business w/ us. And u didn't respond to anything I wrote,I wrote what would happen if foreign investers asked for all the money we owe them and U respond by attacking me and call all libs scum. Who's smart person, reasonable adult and who's the republican talking points spewing drone who just repeats whatever rush says? U r a sheep.

[brian8793]

Thats funny, because I'm not a Republican, I'm Independant. However, we only have two choices.

Who said I listened to everything Rush says? I hardly ever listen to him.lol

I read for myself! Wealth isn't created at the bottom levels of society. Raising taxes doesn't "spur growth". This is just NONSENSE.

Also, I was willing to give Obama a chance, but now I have about 800 billion reasons why I don't like him.

I was very proud of us for electing a half black man though......

[gogosox82]

Its funny how u claim to be an independent and then basically say u voted republican and have some sort of problem w/Obama. U can't be independent and vote republican our system doesn't work that way. U should really read up on our system, b/c its obvious u don't know much about it. Who's raising taxes? The stimilus plan had 40% tax cuts in it. What the hell ru talking about? And U still have not responded to what I wrote, probably b/c u dont have an answer and u know im right.

[brian8793]

I'm an Independant who will vote for whatever candidate is more Conservative, more fiscally responsible. I don't like Obama because he is a liberal, and liberals are weak. They weaken our Country. We didn't become a superpower by adhering to Liberal, Big-Government, Big-spending policies.

I'm Independant, but I vote. I'm not going to vote for someone I don't think has a chance to win. Call it "The better of two evils".

I like Mitt Romney

MITT ROMMS!!!!!!!!!!!!

[gogosox82]

Dude, Mitt Romney is a REPUBLICAN!!! U say ur an independent but your clearly look for republican ideology when u vote. And u said u would never vote for a liberal. THAT'S NOT BEING AN INDEPENDENT, it's being a conservative. If's that's what u believe fine, but don't give me this " i'm independent" bs b/c ur not.

[brian8793]

I'm an Independant, but I understand that, realistically, there are only two choices to made in an election.

Besides, Mitt Romney's the SHIT!!!!!!!

[gogosox82]

If ur really independent u would vote for Nadar or Barr not Mitt "i'll say or do anything to anyone at anytime to get elected" Romney. if u really were independent, u would hate Mitt Romney b/c he's republican. Stop lying to ur self and everyone else, ur a republican.

[brian8793]

I think Mitt Romney is smarter than any Spendocrat in Office.

[brian8793]

Besides, he's Mormon. I would love a Mormon running our Country

[gogosox82]

What the hell does Mitt Romney being a Mormon have to do with him being a good president

[brian8793]

For one, he doesn't smoke or drink. Another thing is that he a DEVOUT Mormon, and I have had a lot of experience dealing with Devout Mormons. They are very rational, right minded people.

[brian8793]

You really shouldn't call me a liar, I'm not. I have very strong Conservative values, but I also have certain beliefs that a person would consider "liberal".

When I say I'm Independant, I'm saying that I would not hesitate to vote for a Democrat if I thought he was best suited for the job.

IMO, Mitt Romney is the best suited for the job.

[gogosox82]

I didn't call u a lair, i pointed out that ur logic is extremely flawed. U can't comment on a video about the stimulus package and call it "FUCKING LIBERAL BULLSHIT" and call ur self independent. THAT'S NOT INDEPENDENT, it shows a clear bias on ur part. U even call ur self a conservative which flies directly in the face of being liberal or progressive or independent. BTW, u like Romney doesn't change the fact that's he republican which in turn makes u republican

[brian8793]

If thats the case than I'm a Republican.

I'm curious. What exactly don't you like about Mitt Romney?

[gogosox82]

Mitt Romney is the of kind politician that makes people hate politics b/c he constantly changes his position to fit whatever group of voters he's talking to which in turn is disingenuous. He flip flops so badly that its comical at times which is y he lost in the primaries. He probably should have won, he had more money, time, and governing experience than almost everyone else and he still lost which should tell u something about people feel about him. That's what i dont like about Mitt.

[brian8793]

A guy doesn't have a right to change his mind? Lying and changing your mind are two different things........

[gogosox82]

Of course he can change his mind, but on EVERY SINGLE ISSUE?

[hakim365]

hey brian rush limbaugh is a extremiest scumbag who deserves to be put in front of a firing squad.

[brian8793]

I bet Rush could put together a bigger firing squad than you.

[georgez71]

smart dude

[sumilisica]

heathr 456, thanks for uploading!!!!

[xAirJordan23x]

wait so if Afghanistan and Pakistan are training and harboring terrorists, then why should we not increase troop supplies there?

[Patman968574]

Do you know what Tylenol is, its poison in the right amount. Any type of medicine is just poison in the right amount. Our food is pumped full of growth hormone and steroids. Now, vaccination is a different thing, all thats in a vaccine is dead cells of the disease its trying to protect against. Vaccines stop diseases which can kill you, steroids in meat just help farmers make more money.

[copstryin2takemycrop]

This is not rocket science. You have more toxicity and less Nutrients, you won't be very healthy.

[Bahia82]

why is everyone jumping on bill maher and his comments, ann coulter, laura ingram, and rush have made millions off doing the same thing, and their not funny and are hypocrites because they dont practice what they preach, but no one complains about them?

[eyesofadreamer]

you forgot to mention that ann coulter and rush limbaugh are also 83967298732 times more hateful than bill usually is.

[tigerlilly311]

I love Bill Maher, but the anti-vaccination BS pisses me off so much. They account for mutations of the virus when they make the vaccine. And Vaccines DO work!

[SirBunnyII]

Why does it? I haven't taken a vaccine shot since the standard baby vaccination and I'm healthy as a horse. Do I get sick sometimes? Sure but it only lasts no more than a few days.

They make a new vaccination every year. Which means that you depend on 1 every year. Don't you find it kind of odd how they make you depend on a product that THEY SUPPLY.

[tigerlilly311]

The fact that you can be healthy without the shot doesn't mean the shot doesn't work. He's claiming vaccines don't work. That's false, and that's all I'm getting at.

I'm with you on the way pharma companies tell everyone "Get your flu shot!" when really the only people who need to get one are those who are really high risk - small children, old people and people who are otherwise weakened in the immune system.

[daydreambelieverrr]

I love Bill too, but I agree that he does say things I don't agree with.

[dano2769]

Bill Maher is a populist hack for Democratic, big government liberalism, but he wraps himself in a thin "libertarian" veil. What a joke.

[freckldfreak]

ah, Real Time back next week - I am soooo happy :)

[skynet329]

We need to switch from a WAR based economy to a PORN based economy.

[loodog555]

Yeah, so look to Bill Maher for comedy but he's not a professor of political science and especially not a doctor. I don't know why we ask celebrities for their unqualified opinions on everything.

[Rosannasfriend]

everyone has an opinion on politics. If you wait till you become one yourself to make up your mind, how can you even vote?? Celebrities are like the rest of us who are interested in paying attention and making up their minds.

[loodog555]

Yes, exactly. They are THE REST OF US, so why do we defer to them on issues they have only a layknowledge of?

[Rosannasfriend]

we don't "defer" to them at all. They are able to voice their opinions in interviews cause they're famous. You can either listen to them or not. Some ordinary ppl use their voices to help their candidate too anyway, as demonstrated all of last year. If you have the ability to sway ppl to do the right thing, you'll do it. Otherwise, at the very least you're just practising you're freedom of speech rights.

[loodog555]

And I'm questioning the tendency people seem to have to just agree with their celebrity gods on everything they're offering a not expert opinion on.

Maher goes off on that New Age bullshit about "toxins" and other things science repeatedly fails to show any evidence for...

[clemssss]

Alot of it is common sense...not rocket science

[motina10]

I don't like Bill Maher when it comes to politics. Bill you don't know what is in that bill. most politicians who voted FOR it did even read. they couldn't have, there was no time.

[PoliticalSkeptic]

And the Politicians who voted against it didn't even read it and didn't make "not reading the bill" part of their argument until the last minute. Before hand they just picked something here and there and labeled the entire bill as wasteful spending when they themselves didn't read the bill to find out what the bulk of it consisted of.

[newfrickinshow]

They've had the time to read most of it, because it's almost the exactly same as it was on day one. This was the same bill that the House bill passed, except with less spending. They weren't planning on voting for it from the moment it was proposed unless it was all ineffective upper class tax cuts & I don't know who the Republicans claiming otherwise think theyre kidding.

[jkqd14]

Thanks for posting these, man. Hopefully the Gestapo won't cancel your account.

[LittleRedMenace]

I love how the news tries to be all serious and then they throw in that Angelina Jolie story. Hilarious.

[xgalba00]

Thank you for posting, I just think that this video is from Feb. 12, 2009 and not last year 2008

[cvjucla3]

Larry is a trip. At 6:05, coming back from the break, he he looks like some cheezy, 60s hypnotist.

[burntonion05]

pls post the Anderson Cooper bit about A Jolie and that mother of 8 babies thing.

[heathr456]

Uhhh,,,,in a word...no. I will not give that woman one ounce of free publicity. I think the Huffington Post has it up if you really want to watch it.

[zndprophet]

Excellent-I was wondering where the rest of this went

[heathr456]

I had it but was too tired to put it up the night it aired. I had people bugging me about it so I put it up.

[Nelkwie4]

That is extremely kind of you heather. Thank you very much. :)
