Comedy used to be equal opportunity. SNL used to rip on whoever was in office. No more...which is why no one watches any more. Ax grinding is simply not funny. Jimmy Fallon's monologue regularly contains slams on Trump, who's no longer in office. Meanwhile, Biden creates comedy gold on a daily basis, and today's comedians don't seem to notice.

Maybe nukes do, but theirs keep America's in check too. Russia invaded Ukraine. They didn't care about the US military. China is continuing to BUILD it's military BECAUSE of the size of the US military. So you're wrong there too.

It depends on troop levels. I worked as a DOD contractor from 2014-2020 and in most cases made less money than the federal employees I was working alongside. When troops levels were low like in 2003 and 2001 as the two wars started, contractors could demand significantly higher money as military personnel levels were way lower due to the cutbacks of the Clinton Administration. As the troop levels rose, the contractor salaries decreased over time. I remember a recruiter calling me up in 2018 asking if I was interested in a $90k salary position in Afghanistan. I informed him I made more than that as an E-5 when I deployed to the same location back in 2011 when you added in benefits, allowances, base pay, and hazardous duty and hardship pay. I get that it's trendy to "hate" on contractors but the truth is they fill critical gaps in a lot of areas and bring expertise that the military can't generate on its own. You're not going to convince an IT specialist to join the military when he can make 3x the salary in the private sector, the only way you get him to work on your stuff is to pay him accordingly.

Most have already taken deliveries. The F-35 had many issues just like any other program. It's a completely different kind of aircraft than all other fighters and many pilots had trouble adjusting. Today the fighter is a deadly weapon and has no adversaries.

Even when he would bring up that if there was a solution it should be part of the content of the manual because it could save lives. He was told no because there were no issues with whatever it may have been, because contractors couldn’t lose there contracts that were all no bid contracts. Acres of trillions of dollars graveyards of defective goods. Also said if I ever wanted to know why we would invade a country, publicly or non public, look to see what natural resource they had , rather it be drugs, Coca plants to opium fields, oil, and everything in between.

The real reason why there is no named villain in "Top Gun: Maverick" is not because we can't agree as a country, but rather because the USA no longer has a de facto monopoly on the market for the film industry. They have to worry about Europe, China, Japan, and Russia among others to sell their films. By naming Russia or China, they would be closing themselves to a major world market.

If we all close off then this is what we get.

I'm an absolute conservative and I think Bill M is hilarious. Plus, his digs at the DOD budget were center mass. I spent 26+ years in the Army. 21 of those years were in some leadership capacity. We had to account for every penny spent. Every tool in every tool kit. I know air power is important. I know what it is like to beg for it and know it's on the way. I know the M1 Tanks are vital. Still, I thing the contracting system is in need of serious scrutiny.

Maybe nukes do, but theirs keep America's in check too. Russia invaded Ukraine. They didn't care about the US military. China is continuing to BUILD it's military BECAUSE of the size of the US military. So you're wrong there too. And yeah....about the only thing you got right was Bill not having up to date info about the effectiveness of the F35, but even a lot of that is speculation based on reports of test pilots flying the thing.

It depends on troop levels. I worked as a DOD contractor from 2014-2020 and in most cases made less money than the federal employees I was working alongside. When troops levels were low like in 2003 and 2001 as the two wars started, contractors could demand significantly higher money as military personnel levels were way lower due to the cutbacks of the Clinton Administration. As the troop levels rose, the contractor salaries decreased over time. I remember a recruiter calling me up in 2018 asking if I was interested in a $90k salary position in Afghanistan. I informed him I made more than that as an E-5 when I deployed to the same location back in 2011 when you added in benefits, allowances, base pay, and hazardous duty and hardship pay. I get that it's trendy to "hate" on contractors but the truth is they fill critical gaps in a lot of areas and bring expertise that the military can't generate on its own. You're not going to convince an IT specialist to join the military when he can make 3x the salary in the private sector, the only way you get him to work on your stuff is to pay him accordingly.

There doesn’t seem as much competition at the theater now, which also may have helped in sales, many movies seem to be made directly for a streaming service now.

I am an Aussie but I know Bill will always make me laugh. I watch Real Time on KZread as cannot get HBO here. Bill your country is F...ed up from what I see . So nice to hear an American with common sense and intelligents
I don't agree with Bill on everything, but that's what I love about him. He's not trying to please and pander to anyone, he's his own person with his own beliefs and thoughts. I have nothing but respect for him.

This is the most on point new rules I’ve ever seen. Especially the pentagon. My father worked for them for 30 years. He was never to discuss or write anything about the known problems of equipment. Even when he would bring up that if there was a solution it should be part of the content of the manual because it could save lives. He was told no because there were no issues with whatever it may have been, because contractors couldn’t lose there contracts that were all no bid contracts. Acres of trillions of dollars graveyards of defective goods. Also said if I ever wanted to know why we would invade a country, publicly or non public, look to see what natural resource they had , rather it be drugs, Coca plants to opium fields, oil, and everything in between. In closing I was raised to NEVER trust the government and never leave a hard copy. Lol.

Best segment ever!
I have to respectfully disagree with Maher's argument at the end. The real reason why there is no named villain in "Top Gun: Maverick" is not because we can't agree as a country, but rather because the USA no longer has a de facto monopoly on the market for the film industry. They have to worry about Europe, China, Japan, and Russia among others to sell their films. By naming Russia or China, they would be closing themselves to a major world market.

except for the fact the studio basically said fuck you to China and left in the Jacket scene with the Taiwanese flag. It's true when they shot the film it was that attitude and about not alienating foreign markets...and quite rightly I think. We should be promoting dialog and openness with even the worst countries. If we all close off then this is what we get. Anyway, it's now swinging the other way where western production companies are starting to turn their backs on the Chinese market simply because it's way too much of a hassle dealing with their (purposely) ambiguous censorship guidelines.

The middle eastern Islamic countries are still a go to place for movies' villains--the population is interchangeable-Syrian, Afgan, Iran, Iraq, Yemen, and even Saudi. Not a problem casting villains from that part of the world.
Audience and critics liked this movie bc it was well written, well acted, and devoid of all the usual hollywood identity politics. Simple. Also, not every American hates themselves.

Really have to applaud this man! Just taking down every side and not just one. Have to say: TopGuns move to just call it :The enemy is kinda genius. Now this movie will stay timeless, instead off being anti-(fill blank).
the great thing about the defence budgets, is that if don't spend enough, you don't get to spend anything ever again. unlike social spending, which never achieves its aim but always gets more money, way more than defence
You and your writers are so good at shining a light on our crazy stuff and bringing it home with humor. I wish more people would be able to see it and talk about it as boldly and humorously as you.

@@anthonyzullo Yes, you’re right! I’ve been watching him for over 20 years now. On Real Time, he was usually about 75/25% on his Conservative to Liberal bashing ratio. But over the past couple years, I’d have to say it’s much more even. As he said in recent interviews tho, he hasn’t really changed much, it’s the amount of crazy that has propelled from the Liberal side. And I say this as someone who swings a little more left.
