CNN Official Interview: Bill Maher 'Glenn Beck like L. Ron Hubbard'

[wealthmaster71]

Yes Bill! We laugh our asses off!

[EICL2011]

Unless you can provide enough information to the world that global warming is real or not then shut your mouth. Is like prooving who helped the mayaz build the pyramids

[eminemfan1111]

all glen beck is is a comedian with the fake cover of a journalist, he spews hate speech to gain attention for himself and promote his form of sick "comedy", which most of it has very little factual basis and goes to extreme's for shock value and rating. He's essentially a republican Sarah Silvermen

[TheBabyboomkidof53]

my beef with the current "christian crop", politiclly active, isn't their faith but the way they use it to bring the nation under christian contol. in the middle ages charlemane thought he could declare his entire kingdom christian by enforcement of the christian faith.a huge failure. now american evangelicals for the most part seem committed to the same. and I'll bet their a minority of that group but because their active you think it's all of them. their silent majority needs to denonce them.

[daggerros]

I walked by a teabagger rally once, not saying a single word to them, just walking by, and some of them started to tell me to go back to my country. Some of them called me, "You dam Mexican," which I am not a Mexican. I told one of them btw, I'm Cambodian and a U.S. citizen. Also I came here for political reason and I don't even have choice as a baby. I went off asking them, "Is it because of my brown skin color, that got you all fired up?" This kind of shit need to stop!

[neoviking69]

@daggerros All brown people are Mexicans or terrorists to them.

[imthetube44]

@daggerros when you asked them that, what was their answer?

[johnbfam5]

it seems that when a persons moral values go south than everyone else has alternative motives for everthing, let me try, hmmm. i think Bill Mahr has never done a days labor in his life and thinks to himself hmmm criticizing everybody sure is easier than work... well now if feel smug, i mean smart.

[rvggarcon]

Science isn't political, it doesn't work that way. There is either evidence for something or there isn't; it's a process of finding out how things work. Scientists don't just get to say "Oh, this works this way because of my faith in Jesus or because I will be payed more" NO! If that was how science worked we would still be in the bronze age and know nothing about how the world works. This is why it's so absurd to see some teabagging hick think they can outsmart the entire scientific community.

[kyurichan91]

He makes some good points but he scares me with his generalizations. religous people can be very effective leaders who do wonderful things for the country. They are not all crazy and are on both sides of the political spectrum...

[dugfmjamul]

Bill Maher is DANGEROUS because he makes Progressives believe they actually have a point to be made base on facts, of course they don't and Bill Maher is grounded in the false doctrine of Progressivism.

[HackHunters]

@dugfmjamul Really? Bill Maher dangerous? and what about John Shimkis (sp?) that he mentions? That will be a policy maker and at least according to Maher that guy to me sounds very dangerous to our environment and thus our physical health. And you say '... have a point to be made based on facts, of course they don't' but if you aren't basing your decisions on actual facts my friend then you too are delusional and thus dangerous. Seriously? not basing decisions on facts is ridiculous.

[LastLaugh22]

Glen Beck dangerous?? Here is what I believe to be dangerous...celebrities telling people how to vote like they did in 2008. I don't see how it's any different from Glen Beck's flock of sheep. Also, global warming is a hoax. THere have been numurous studies that prove that the earth is going through a change. I mean common, many global warming "experts" blame cow's as one of the causes of global warming. Scientist suggest we need to cut down on beef consumption. What a load of crap.

[starcb26]

Adblock doesn't work on CNN videos :(

[thenaj88]

Here's advice.... Keep your religion to yourself.

Also, be in denial about global warming all you want... But ALL the credible scientific evidence points to the fact that the earth's temperature is rising over time... Whether we have as much to do with it as some believe may be debatable to a certain extent.... But make no mistake...  Climate change is real...

[MrSuperbombastik]

"Jim Baker money" = "Bill Maher money"

Maher is such a piece of shit I can barely stand to look at him, regardless of who he's smearing. As much of the world hates America because of people like him and others in entertainment journalism. He's a Jew, pro rights, pro gay, etc. Not saying that all of that is bad, but lets keep it honest.

[Gurkan8994]

@MrSuperbombastik lol we the world don't hate you because of people like bill maher. we hate america for much more political reasons like invading the wrong country like iraq, violating the geneva convention, not being able to distinguish continent from country, and for being so incredibly religious.

[MrSuperbombastik]

@Gurkan8994 : the problem is that the opinions you are referring to are based on the misdirection, misinterpretation, and flat liberal lies pushed by idiots like Bill Maher. There is no area more dense with murderous religious zealots than the middle east and other muslim countries of europe and asia.

Clearly, your a fan of this turd.

[Gurkan8994]

@MrSuperbombastik what are you fucking stupid? Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11, waterboaring is torture that bush admited guilt for, and 84% of all americans are religious thats 30% more religious than the most religious of european nations. America generally has a much higher murder rate than europe. And what exactly does Bill Maher lie about?

[MrSuperbombastik]

@Gurkan8994 : Ha! Youre so indoctrinated and full of rhetoric you dont even realize. The President rec's daily briefings on terrorist activity that you and I know nothing about. Some of this dates back to Clinton and Carter who did nothing to deal with them. 76%-82% of America is Christian, so assuming that is who you are trying to smear that reduces the overall to approx 67%. And these are people who are often only practicing when convenient; and they do not promote violence.

[Gurkan8994]

@MrSuperbombastik Check the religion stats for yourself; christians make up about 80% of the U.S. population. Bush didn't read his CIA reports. If he did, Iraq would never have been invaded. Bush made up a lie that they had WMD's. Saddam Hussein was a secular dictator; Al Qaeda didn't become a problem for our troops until long after the invasion. Islam does not promote violence either; Al Qaeda, the Talibans, and HAMAS do.

[MrSuperbombastik]

@Gurkan8994 : I already have and your claims are not accurate. 80% consider themselves religious; of that approx 80% are christian; ergo thats around 67%. I hope you dont do your own taxes. You dont know what Bush read and he did not make up WMDs; other people did and he believed them. You truly are delusional if you cant recognize the danger of leaving Hussein in place, and if you dont see the danger of Islam. Go live your dream.

[Gurkan8994]

@MrSuperbombastik Actually 76-77% of americans are christian; check it yourself. And bush did lie about WMD's, because he ignored the fact that the UN never found a single uranium enrichment facility or any of WMD related activity. And you thick skulled American can still not learn that Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11, because Saddam was a secular anti-Islamic.

[MrSuperbombastik]

@Gurkan8994 : god you cannot do math or read apparently. 80% of 80 is 64, dumbass. and what do you think the Iraqis killed hundreds of Kurds with, harsh language? Gas (wmd) genius. The iraqi program was lied about by iraqi scientist who didnt want to be killed by hussein for failing to deliver. thats the lie that was passed to bush. think it through. thick skulled is a term id use for someone that cant rationalize but just repeats other peoples rhetoric; namely you.

[Gurkan8994]

@MrSuperbombastik I don't know where you're getting 64% from, but I have checked from several different sources, and they all come back in the vicinity of 76% being christians. If mustard gas is a WMD, then any weapon that can kill more than ten people simultaneously is too. But the fact still remains, they might have had a nuclear weapons program before the Gulf War, but they never had any WMD's. Bush invaded Iraq on the assumption the Iraq lied about a WMD program.

[MrSuperbombastik]

@Gurkan8994 : In doing a little checking I see your another one of those know it all cowards that doesnt have an account page where people can see who and where you are. Typical. Stop bothering me and go peddle your liberal brainwash to some 20 year old that doesnt know the truth about the world and people like you.

[Gurkan8994]

@MrSuperbombastik There's a reason I don't show personal information; nut jobs might track me down and kill me, like in France. I'm just putting facts out there incase you feel like not being ignorant. Goodbye and good luck, ignorance and misinformation sure makes you alot of money these days (Rupert Murdock). And remember, the world hates america because of republicans and bush, not maher:D

[MrSuperbombastik]

@Gurkan8994 :There is no "being a little Muslim". Arab muslims are all expected to participate in daily rituals in a religion that endears lying and killing non-believers (infidels). Nearly everything that comes out of Maher's mouth is liberal, rhetorical, pandering BS. I want him to say what he said about religious leaders while sitting next to Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpeton; who are part of his "camp". So after you finish reading this politely go fuck yourself you miserable piece of shit.

[Gurkan8994]

@MrSuperbombastik Arabs murder less than people in the U.S. Not all arab countries consider apostasy punishable by death. And sharia law specifaically has a law concerning the crime of libel and slander. BTW, if you want to see Maher stand up against religious fanatics, watch Religulous.

Why all the rage?

[DonJulioBlanco2002]

The ironic part is that the politicians who crow the loudest about how they "love America" are the same ones making America the embarrassing laughingstock of the world.

[JohnnyDohable]

I think Maher and Beck would find that they actually have a lot in common if they didn't already dislike each other so much. Both identify themselves as close to "libertarian".

[Ayudria]

@JohnnyDohable On political structure,they might agree.On political issues,they'd disagree.Ron Paul and Maher looked good together before because Maher was an excellent host who stuck to the issues of government structure/function,instead of the nonsense of Fox or CNN that tries to spark national debate over issues that clearly need to be dealt with by local government in order to avoid dysfunction like we see now at the national level.

[JohnnyDohable]

@Ayudria You think they would agree that social issues would be dealt with better at the state or local level? Perhaps. Even though they probably disagree with how the issues themselves should be solved.

[machinistmikey]

look at the low number of views for this video. im not gonna argue with people who dont know what their talking about. ive studied it though and through. what gives us a conscience? why dont we act like aliens on deep space nine? lol we all know god and jesus exist. most of you just supress it to be able to live the way you want. a major war will happen soon in our country. bill maher is redicoulous. he talks like he knows it all. but ive seen others like him before. hes blind, trust me

[BadLuck765]

@machinistmikey Brain chemicals. These evolved as per the beloved Darwinian theory because humans require groups to survive and those who couldn't function in a group died off. Easy. That neither proves nor disproves the existence of God, but the "why do we have a conscience?" argument is "rediculous". Also, how many freaking wars have been started over religion over the last few thousand years. Care to guess?

[HostileNegotiator]

Oh yes, the world is laughing. Especially Israel and Suadi Arabia, all the way to the bank :)

[rudeboyska13]

Wow. Bill Maher really doesn't know much about anything and he is just as misinformed and uneducated as all the progressive socialists in this country.

[mueygringo]

Teabagging would be Maher, Stewart, Letterman, Olbermann, Matthews, and Maddow on top on a Saturday night entertaining themselves. Yes Maddow. She has the biggest set of testicles and the largest penis of all of them.

[erjones676]

Do christian stores sell special computers without spell check? And you're terribly wrong. They use Argon-40 which has degraded from Potassium-40 to date the rocks, which they then use to date the fossils...look it up. If you want to look up something interesting look up the story of Horace. He was immaculately conceived, worshiped by kings, preformed miracles, was the son of god, was baptized (the baptist was later beheaded) and he was martyred for the sake of humanity. Sound familiar?

[SkeksisRule]

@erjones676 You might as well be talking to a wall. He's either a troll, or a brainwashed christian. Please, don't waste your time feeding either of them.

[machinistmikey]

when the time comes alot of you athiests will know the truth also. you act like people who believe in god are dunb fo doing so but in fact if you did your homework and studied things youll see that god is the only thing that makes sense. study cromazones. carbon dateing. dna, they date fossles by the age of the rock and the age of the rock by the fossles. look it up. its impossible to evolve. just by chance. from a cell to spltting atoms. wow sounds rediculous to me

[fjackson90]

@machinistmikey I used to beleive but I just dont agree with you. If you look at something that is extraordinarily complex that doesnt mean it had to be made by a creator just because it is complex. And youre right we didnt evolve by chance. Evolution is powered by natural selection, meaning you evolve based on how fit you are for your environment, and how efficiently you reproduce.

[scottltd]

@machinistmikey are you being serious?

[bradreed]

@machinistmikey . thank you for justifying my non belief. 

[JrinINDY]

great video

[Marchant2]

I really believe most Republicans are actually one level behind everyone else in hominid evolution. Why else would logic be so irrelevant to them?

[Ayudria]

@Marchant2 Reps and Dems all have the same basic assumptions and concerns regarding humanity,but differ on how best to achieve goals.Reps want to help business succeed so that people can succeed(start businesses or earn money by working for businesses),and successful people to be able to help unsuccessful people without undue burden(taxing donations).Dems want people to be healthy without having to choose healthy choices.That is far beyond the capabilities of government.

[BadLuck765]

@Ayudria Wow, that is literally the biggest load of crap I've ever read on YouTube. Good job. I respond to this only to vent my frustration and not to try to 'enlighten'. I'm assuming you worded that the way you did because of the recent Bush tax cut BS. THE TAXES HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH BUSINESS. It's INCOME tax. The rich don't invest their INCOME in business. (And if they did, in fact, they'd pay FUCKING LESS TAXES ARGH MY HEAD) *explodes*

[Ayudria]

@BadLuck765 It depends on how the company is structured.An executive of a large corporation is not paying taxes on the income of the business,but a sole proprietor pays taxes at the personal income rate.Most small businesses are sole proprietorship,thus effectively raising the taxes on business.Business does not=BIG business,which seems to be where you are confused.

[BadLuck765]

@Ayudria Yeah. Great. If someone is making 250,000 a year (or even say we compromise and make it 500,000 a year), that has nothing to do with the rate at which they hire people, expand their business or what have you. The reason for this is... BECAUSE THE MONEY YOU INVEST IN YOUR BUSINESS IS NOT CONSIDERED INCOME. *explodes again* And, in fact, if you put more money into your business that would have been taxed, that's a way to get around said taxes. Thus, encouraging more investment. I win.

[Ayudria]

@BadLuck765 You are correct,except that when you grow your business to the point of hitting a higher tax bracket,the extra 100,000 you made this year is taxed far more,so you only get to invest(making up #s for sake of argument)25,000 instead of 50,000...or put differently,you can only hire a low skilled worker instead of high skilled worker who can continue to grow the business,which then allows for more low and high skilled workers to be hired.

[BadLuck765]

@Ayudria Ugh. Look. You just don't understand how this stuff works. I'll say this in a non-asshole way. The extra 100,000 you make this year is only taxed more if you file it as INCOME. As in, you're NOT investing it in your business. If you don't file it as income and invest it in the business instead, it's not taxed under that rate because it's not considered income. You may, then, decide you want to invest your income later on that was already filed as income. But that's stupid and rare.

[Ayudria]

@BadLuck765 I think we're both struggling to effectively make our points,perhaps because of the character count.I do understand,but a business would not invest in a worker without knowing it can pay that worker.So for the unemployed person looking for a job,I think they would like as much capital freed up ASAP so they can be hired now,instead of later.In my business,each 1/4 can have wild swings in revenue,so I can't hire based on a single good 1/4,so I might claim income instead of reinvesting.

[BadLuck765]

@Ayudria All right, I'm going to shoot myself and stop arguing with you after this one. (Kudos for remaining calm, though, I find myself thoroughly frustrated!) What you've mentioned has literally ~nothing~ to do with income tax. Absolutely, positively nothing. The money used to hire workers and pay workers... is. Not. Income. It's categorized as something different that's taxed differently at different levels and is not what's being debated in congress. Reply if you want, but I'm done now.

[5662445sg]

@BadLuck765 You are right history shows us more growth under higher taxes just as you said people reinvest in their business to try to prevent paying in more taxes in turn spurs growth. TRICKLE DOWN ECONOMICS DOESN'T WORK. Just look at the 80's. The top 1% earners in 1980 their incomes increased 400% over the decade. Everybody elses increased 21%. This info is easily found it just requires some looking and I don't mean FOX News.

[Ayudria]

@5662445sg correct me where I'm wrong,but I believe you are engaging in class warfare.Isn't the idea that it is great that everyone's income went up(per your statistics)?If I work35hrs/wk and you work65hrs/wk,shouldn't your income go up more than mine?If you invest$100and gain10%,shouldn't you have $110?The difference is that wealthy folk have more money to invest in more ways,so they might get 5%, or they might get 55% ROI.Don't buy stuff and you can save enough to invest if $ is what you want.

[Jean0987654321]

cnn sux dick

[JrinINDY]

@Jean0987654321 says Jean someone who knows about fellatio

[Ayudria]

Bill Maher mocking someone for taking the role of preacher?HA!I used to enjoy watching Bill's show when he talked about substance(even if it was irrelevant to my life).Now every clip I see,all he is doing is bashing Christians(or "preaching" atheism),which is why I stopped watching his show.He suddenly became some voice in the wilderness for atheism.I never minded him voicing his beliefs,but now he does it as a cheap joke.As for Beck,he's gotten"preachy,"yes.Anyway, to each his own.

[arod189024]

@Ayudria can u blame him your faith comes with a heavy price. but like you said to each their own

[58tkdmike]

Does anyone know how much Glenn Beck snake oil costs? Does he sell it by the pint or quart?

[Se7enBeatleofDoom]

Does Bill Mahers has a comb over or just a bad haircut? He gonna make Glenn Beck cry again. lol

[lucyedinburgh]

Why would the rest of the world be laughing at US, unless it is nervous laughter, there is nothing amusing about it. I love you Maher!

[wendileona]

On this one, I think Bill to hip-ing us up to wacko's like that energy commission, appalling. Simply appalling. AND dangerous.

A thought - will Tea-Baggers end up like an off-shoot "new religion"? Scary.

[ndiamonds4ever]

Most everything Bill Maher says is taken out of context and put into the context that will sell for him. He reports the news but not the correct news, news the way he wants to interpret what is said and not what is meant. But, that's what the Lame Stream Media does best. And there are millions who believe these lame brains.

[chingon711]

what's extrodinarily fascinating and dangerous is that there are people out there who actually buy the craziness glenn beck spews.

[escape602]

@chingon711 i completely agree its definitely scary

[quidproquo2004]

Bill's right. It's truly embarrassing.

[meatjucifer]

We are all human...we all have opinions...they are all flawed...we perceive facts in different ways...Maher stand in some diffrent shoes for a while

[undertakerzxx]

Bill Maher is one to talk about sheep everything he says is a freaking lie and his sheep viewers follow every word he says. Liberals are just hypocrites

[rickbar123]

@undertakerzxx Suck Becks dick, you like it.

[Scallopshell98]

@undertakerzxx What does Bill lie about?

[VictimOfBoredom]

"everything he says is a freaking lie"

Pretty sure that's not humanly possible.

[PRIVATEAYEIEYE]

There sure are a lot of radioactive looking white guys on TV these days!

They're being bleached by HD waves.

[DefendInsanity]

<3 Maher

[papavalium]

No one cares about Maher. His Scarlet Letter A crap he pulled on Odonnell just shows how pathetic he is.

[kindofbluenyc]

@papavalium Fact or facts. Republicans are embarrassing.

[kungfufreak360]

@papavalium It was O Donnell that brought it on herself
