I think you have it wrong. I agree with almost everything Bill says, but he also loves to do two things: brag about himself, and hate on liberals. When Trump was in power he hated on conservatives, and now that it’s Biden he’s hating on liberals. And I AGREE with him, but he also tends to think that his audience is stupid, and I don’t like that. They have two things they can do: clap and boo. That’s it. There’s no grey area in between, it’s either clap or boo. What are they supposed to do when he says something like “ and I’m sure all of you who just clapped are going to take in some refugees”. Is BILL taking in refugees? Is his audience supposed to boo him for saying that, or clap along in agreement that, yes, most of us probably WONT be doing that. I love Bill, but he annoys the shit out of me when he gets all smarmy and talks down on his audience. I think the dude is kinda like me in the sense that he generally loathes MOST people, the right and left alike.

As a non-veteran I think most of the blame for the way veterans are treated rests squarely at the feet of veterans. Veterans act like America's endless effort to engage in needless conflict and war crimes is a brand new thing even though we haven't won a war since ww2 even though we've never not been at war since ww2. If Veterans would stop signing up and they had to draft people they wouldn't be in a position to play world police in places nobody wants to go in the first place with absolutely no goals other than burning munitions. We should stop giving people who are willing to kill people for money and education money and education.

On a personal front (and I have a very good life compared to many) I've had to close a business I spent 6 years building, and lost jobs due to economic turns. While I yearn to travel it is immensely expensive because our currency is weak. As an example a trip to the USA costs more than most people can save in several years even if they live very cheaply. That said, I've had some friends who've visited the US and they all loved it for many reasons but predominantly the warmth of the people they met and the beauty and diversity of the natural landscapes. I've been a TV and movie kid all my life - even pursued a career in 3D animation - and I'd say at least 70% of the TV we had here was from the US so in a way I spent more time in Fictional USA than in real South Africa :) As I grew older I swapped movies and cartoons for documentaries and the news so I think my perception of the US is fairly realistic though, obviously, very limited. From an outsider's perspective, I think it's amazing to have a country where there truly is so much freedom that that actually becomes one of the problems. Many other countries, like mine, face constant poweroutages, deep poverty, violent crime, mass unemployment, a lack of education and clean water, sudden economic instability and just, overall, immense uncertainty. We are working very hard to fix all these problems, but the road is long and fraught with challenges. The freedom that I believe the average citizen in a country like the US has to travel and start businesses is an exceptional birthright.

So while Bill may not have an issue with what he said, it's no surprise that the producers of Jeopardy don't want that to be part of their show. A job having requirements for the type of language or history that you have isn't something new. It's why when you're looking for a job they ask for references. If they call up that person and they tell them that you're a toxic person, then are you really going to be surprised when you don't get hired? Is that cancel culture when you aren't?

I think we have many great freedoms and rights here in the USA but we definitely have our fair share of problems that need our attention like the ones you listed. We shouldn’t neglect those problems just because we’re doing better than other countries. If we neglect certain issues for too long they become bigger problems. Take for instance the sinking water levels at the Hoover dam.

I do get dewy-eyed when the national anthem plays, but it's not just the miracle of the nation and what it's supposed to represent. I think of all those men and women... and teenage kids who gave their last full measure so we could have the life and freedoms that we cherish. No greater love has any man then to lay down his life for his friends, family and way of life. the word is sacrifice, there is nothing more moving and that's what drives my sentiment over what America means to me.

As an over-emotional, ra-ra, tear gushing American conservative who thanks GOD daily for being born into this star-spangled miracle of a country, I have to admit that Bills take was hilariously accurate. With that being said, I will never apologize for loving this country as much as I do. It seems that Americans today show more allegiance for their political party's than they do for their very own country, and I just pray to God that we as Americans, we will be able to find the unification that we once proudly stood for. I think it's crucial for us ALL to recognize and remember that we are biased to see the best in our side, and the worst in the other side. In many cases, what is logical can be incredibly subjective, and what is factual is often shrouded in controversy. Acknowledging and learning from all sides of this crazy political spectrum is crucial for the future that our country is ultimately going to face. I for one will never give up on us. ~With respect and appreciation to you, Bill and to ALL of our fellow Americans. ✌

Having lived through the totalitarian Chinese communist party ruling for 30 years where my parents always told me to keep my head down and mouth shut, I can tell you - socialism sucks! Thank God, I have now proudly lived in the land of the free and home of the brave for 20 years, the best time of my life! I am heartfelt grateful everyday for what America have given me, the opportunities that I have never dreamed of having, the chances and acceptance everyday Americans have shown me to help me realize my American dream. Now I have two American-born children, I told them everyday to love their country, and that they have won the lottery to be born in America where they can control their destiny and earn their success too with their will to succeed and grit to earn it. Because in America, everything is possible! My fellow Americans, we have got to unite together, do not let the woke-ism and the separation in the disguise of diversity and equality break us apart! We may have different opinions but we have got to be able to listen to one other w/o wanting to kill each other. We have got to unite around the same great country. Do not take for granted the great nation we have so fortunately enjoyed thus far. Do not ruin America. We have got to leave America better than when we found it for our children and children's children! God bless you all, God bless the United States of America!

Well, I wasn’t born here. I arrived at the age of 5. My mom and dad appreciated this country from day one and they instilled that appreciation in me. At five years old, I knew this was the greatest country in the world when I ate my first meal, an American cheese melt with pink chocolate milk.

Greetings Mr. Maher, I recently got to know you for the first time by listening, to one of your shows, I was so grateful to have had the opportunity, I was amazed, how intelligently you are, how you can see clear of all what it is going on right now, and to really understand so well, I am very impress, I wish I could have the opportunity to meet you in person, since I feel so much like you do about all what is happenning right now in our country, which I treasury so much. I do hope my dream will come true, but never the less just wanted for you to know that I admire you so much for your courage and honesty. I will keep you in my prayers. God blessed you.

I’m Nigerian(3rd World African Nation). I’m also a Bill Maher fan. Everything he said here is 100% correct. You guys need to travel more and engage more with foreigners. God bless America🇺🇸💕

@@RoScFan I can't afford to spend a week in Switzerland. Also, numbered bank accounts funded with gold teeth from Auschwitz - by the same people we were shedding copious amounts of blood to rid Europe of even though it was 3,000 miles from our shores. Funny, nobody in France or the Netherlands or Norway was complaining about American militarism in 1945. French and Italians today might still be suffering under Nazi occupation if not for the US (and the USSR, but they were happily supplying the Nazi war machine until it turned on them, and only replaced one form of brutal repression with another) . It's sad that so many have forgotten this; when my parents visited those countries in the 1950s the people were still very, very aware and grateful for it.

I’m Brazilian and I can say that’s so very true.
