 Because I hate myself. I am doing a second Bill Maher video in the same week Not necessarily something that I think is probably a good idea, but nonetheless here we are So as you all know he brought on crystal ball to push back against his idiocy, but he also brought on filmmaker Michael Moore and you know Michael Moore my feelings on him are mixed but mostly positive Michael Moore for the most part. He still he seems to have his finger on the pulse more so than other elites, but I will say that there have been times where he's had takes that are Questionable to say the least so I want to say maybe it was in March of this year on Instagram He made a post where he floated a celebrity For president and I'm blanking on the celebrity, but I believe it was someone like Tom Hanks This is the person who can rally the Democratic Party base someone who's beloved by the American public So I don't remember who it was specifically, but I know that it was a very weird take Without being said Michael Moore still has a lot of great things to say And I think that he does make a contribution to the progressive movement that is for the most part valuable Even if at times he kind of veers off in a weird direction But on Bill Maher's show he actually decided to challenge Bill Maher and push back against Bill Maher's Newfangled centrism and this was really interesting to watch You and I have fought for years to to get the country where it is now the majority of it You talked about climate change 20 years ago You talked about so many things Legalizing marijuana the fact that that's just happening in one state after another now You were ahead of the curve for so many years We fought for these things No, we fought for these things The minimum wage I'll tell you what Bill Maher believes in the minimum wage should not be 7.25 an hour No, of course not go down the whole list. Okay, it should be paid the same But wait, let's go to the probe. Okay, but let's go. We got the country to where Bill Maher and Michael Moore at Why pull back now Bill because we got to go to the center because Because I'm sorry you're lumping a lot of vague shit together the country is for raising the minimum wage Of course the country is not for Medicare for all is as soon as you ask the question get rid of private health insurance I mean Barack Obama said if you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor Which has to be not true for only 2% of the population and the whole country when apeshit about the 2% right now Are you gonna take away everybody's well completely get rid of private even though there are so many things to fix about Obama They don't like that that people don't like that. No, they like the fact that they're 26 year old can still be covered Obamacare that's obamacare like the things about obamacare, but but it didn't go far enough and and we've got 30 million people that are Uninsured we've got 50 more millions that are under insured that that is that Nancy Pelosi points out Obamacare is a better benefit The Medicare for all doesn't play for pay for catastrophic. You got to do that. You know, we're going to be Trump We're going to be Trump. Well, that's not a helpful thing to say. No, it is no I'm not predicting it. We're I know no, no You're the two guys with the two guys who said Trump was gonna win and I'll say if the election okay So let's the election were tonight Trump would win. How about that? All right, that's how dangerous it is because everybody is so see look at the same reaction when I said that three years ago Yeah, no, no, don't say that you have to respect The evil genius of this guy and how he gets away with every fucking thing Okay, so here's an interesting thing He will get away with us if we don't I knew and I and others start fighting fighting for the progressive things that we believe So that goes on longer and let me just say that Bill Maher. I Mean, I don't even know what to say After that clip he went on to criticize members of the squad and say that their approval rating is low And that America doesn't like them and that if Donald Trump actually makes them the face of the Democratic Party Then this will be bad for Democrats. See the problem with Bill Maher is that he only views politics through the lens of personality It's all about the personalities and first of all He doesn't mention that their approval rating is maybe low because Fox News has been relentless in attacking these ladies But to him it's all about personality the policies that Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Ilhan Omar and what they're talking about That doesn't matter. It's their personalities and since Fox News says that they're bad Then, you know, they must be bad. So he's just an imbecile But basically the point that Michael Moore made which I think was poignant was that Why now all of a sudden after being a progressive you're saying wait pump the brakes I mean we finally get this vocal left-wing movement in the country Which is what we needed which is what you previously said we need and now all of a sudden you're against them you're shitting on them why and Bill Maher's response Idiotically enough was it's not where the country's at Really we elected Donald Trump. The establishment has failed Americans. They're ready for change They're ready for bold progressivism and if you look at countries throughout the world in every country where there is a Trumpian figure Brazil the UK there is always someone who is progressive who is incredibly popular Left-wing policies vocal social democratic and socialist policies are the antidote to fascism and right-wing Populism that's the only thing that actually can permanently defeat Donald Trump Okay, so the fact that Bill Maher doesn't get that by now It shows how naive he is and how he's just not engaged and what's odd to me is the prime example He brings up to show why Americans aren't with progressives Medicare for all He says Americans don't support Medicare for all They don't support Medicare for all. Have you read any poll lately bill any poll? most polls show that Medicare for all is overwhelmingly popular and Some polls even show that a majority of Republicans Supported but he goes on to lie about Medicare for all and frames it as taking away Healthcare so that's why it's not popular Obama said if you like your doctor you can keep it and now we're gonna take you know insurance away You know, it's interesting to me that all of these people they just one person will say and then everyone else will repeat it It's like a telephone but for corporate talking points now I don't believe that Bill Maher is meeting You know in a smoke filled back room with the Democratic Party strategist so that way they can all get on the same page And say the same thing But you know, it's just it shows you that his level of political analysis is very superficial He just parrots what he hears on the mainstream media. That's it. That's all you know He does that's the extent of research that he performs research If you even want to call it that Medicare for all is incredibly popular And if you look at this poll from the morning consult if you explain to people that Even if we take away their private health insurance but replace it with Medicare for all where they get to still see their Doctors and go to the hospitals that they want. It's still is popular So for you to say Medicare for all is not where the American people are That's laughable Look at all the policies that Bernie Sanders is proposing and they have majority support raising the minimum wage Medicare for all a green new deal a federal jobs guarantee the writing is on the wall Bernie Sanders is the candidate that can basically Defeat Donald Trump and put us on the trajectory of social democracy But to Bill Maher he probably buys into all of this fear-mongering that he sees in the mainstream news He just thinks well, you know, if you run a far left candidate Donald Trump is going to pounce and we're gonna lose and you know having Trump for another four years That wouldn't make me feel good I mean look Donald Trump and the Republican Party they can move as far to the right as they want But the minute that people on the left start inching closer towards social democracy That's when people on the supposed left say hang on now pump the brakes It's a double standard Republicans can become as extreme as they want to be move off a cliff and It doesn't matter. Nobody's really calling them out for that including liberals But when leftists say hey, you know what maybe we should have a health care system That's comparable to our neighbors just north of the board or maybe we should actually pay our workers a living wage So that way we reduce poverty. We actually have a middle class again. That's when we are the ones that are scolded It's just it's irritating and I can't stand Bill Maher and he has permanently damaged his credibility here So I think that at this point Bill Maher is just too far gone. I don't think that anything would make him see the light I mean Bernie Sanders, even if he were elected and Jeremy Corbyn was elected and Lula was freed and throughout the world social Democrats are Introducing these policies that are changing people's lives for the better and restoring faith in you know, the political establishment He still would probably find some reason to shit on them the man's an idiot. He He's out of touch and I think that that's evident I'm just glad that he's still at least open to bring on people like Michael Moore and Crystal Ball Who are willing to challenge him because I guess that's the best that we can hope for when you have someone Who is this out of touch?
