next stadiums are turning walk and bill maher has had enough.nt on cancel works or straightahead. ♪♪ ♪♪ welcome back to the big saturday show. of the olympics doing well? bill maher says counterculture olympics shows how much counterculture is spreading across the world. >> please don't make the objects into the oscars. >> what's that? they did already? [laughter] young people have to stop flattering themselves and had they been around been, everything is acceptable now. >> why do we allow the people who just want to -- who always win. this is called a purge. it's a mentality that belongs in russia. how bad is this atmosphere we are living in? before the people who say cancer culture is overblown admit that it insanity swallowing up the world. it's unfair points, lara. i hate to give him credit for he gives good reports. i'm reminded of the people used to think that% in the rest of the universe revolved around the earth instead of the other way around because -- it's also probably why they're convinced every bit of global warming has to do with

which is why bill maher gets into trouble sometimes. that self-deprecating rhetoric is disarming and makes us feel like we can listen to what they are saying a little more. they are not saying they have the truth, they are saying they are experimenting with possible alternative truths and narratives and may be the there truth might be somewhere in there there. understanding that rhetoric is so powerful because it can introduce new ideas, put things on our radar, get us talking about things, challenge us, get us talking about whether the view we held for a long time may not actually be the right view. and it does these things without violence, without threats. that is the beauty of satire, it is a way of advancing, often times very aggressive arguments, without the risk of violence. i know it almost seems preposterous to put this thing in the same sentence, like jokes and violence, but you can understand when the president is willing to go to the department of justice and say "is there anything we can do about this comedian -- there is a

i want to play some sound from bill maher who once in a while just nails it.said the movies hollywood is putting out these days makes you want to curl up into a little ball and cry. >> the academy used to say look what good movies we make. now they say look what good people we are. it's about suffering, especially yours. >> if your movie is so woke, how come i'm falling asleep. jesse: we grew up taken in era where they had great films and blockbusters. i haven't heard of anything nominated. and email screenplay looks like it's written by a guy who needs to get a prozac prescription. what's behind this in your thinking. >> there is something going on like you said, hollywood is operating within its own echo chamber. i love it, i have have been lucky to be part of it for 30 years. but it's being more and more -- how can i say -- i feel it's almost making content for itself. when i go out in middle america all around. people say i didn't see that movie either. i'm starting to not know all the movies that are in it. and i'm one of the screeners. jesse: thanks so m

bill maher after he wanted to see his birth certificate to prove he wasn't the spawn of his mother havingr, a woman critical of trump university, a critic of his golf courses, the organizer of a dump trump campaign, author michael wolff, former senate majority leader harry reed, 92-year-old widow, social conduct accusers, former aide, gop senator ted cruz, john kasich who trump wanted to sue for, quote, fun. a person who made anti-trump t-shirts, mary trump, and an artist who painted a nude of him. the artist said she was threatened by someone claiming to be part of trump's team if the piece was sold. but why? why does he do this over and over? perhaps he gave us a hint at the press conference for this new lawsuit. >> if you say it long enough, hard enough, often enough, people will start to believe it. >> that may have worked with the big lie that he won the 2020 election when he actually lost it. but when it comes to lawsuits, trump has just become the litigant who cried wolf. >> i didn't know about the naked painting. >> i didn't either. you know, we do our research and we uncover all

i want to play for you a sound bite from comedian bill maher who talked about the drought and what her reaction. >> with the drought, really, a water shortage problem. it is more a where the water is going problem. we actually have enough water we give away too much to farmers who get their water subsidized by the government because we still act like it's 1890 and farmers are small and independent when they are mostly part of big ag. >> griff: your reaction? >> i'm glad that you showed that to me now and not the first time i watched it. i think the first time i watched it my response would have been more -- it shows a disconnect and the disconnect between the actual consumer a and farmer. those statistics are wrong that he put out in front there. we actually use a lot less of that water. only 40% of the water goes to the farming community. what we like to say in agriculture is we're enhancing that water and making it safe and stable food supply. although it's an easy argument to point to the mean, ugly farmer, it is just inaccurate. what we do here specifically in the central valley g

joining me now is robert william who is suing the detroit police department and his attorney bill mahert ask you this, when they arrested you, did they tell you it was because of the use of facial recognition? >> no. they didn't. they wouldn't tell me why i was arrested. i had to -- i told the gal -- to bring a warrant. because i didn't believe that he was actually a police officer. he was like you're under arrest. i was like for what. he was like are you robert williams? i was like yes. he was like you're under arrest. he was like i got a warrant here. >> did he say what you were being arrested for? what was the crime? not at all? >> no. >> i asked him on the way down there and i asked what did he say i stole? he said i can't tell you that. all we know is that you had a warrant and you're under arrest. i'm thinking this is crazy. >> i should note we reached out to the detroit police department for comment and we didn't get one. we know from the detroit news, according to the detroit news, detroit's mayor and former police chief have acknowledged that williams arrest was a mistake and s

people starting to stand up and more sensible people on the left are starting to speak up, guys like bill maherproblems. they don't do that in societies that don't have enough electricity, clean water or disease spread by mosquitoes. stuart: thanks for being with us. take a look at this, a brazen robbery in california, ransacking a perfume section. you've seen the video, why isn't that doing anything? >> is doing what she was trained to do. a literally open trashbags, with high end perfume, and can i help you with anything? that is not the first thing you think to do but that is what she was told to do. she takes the perfume bottle and the robber snatches it from your hands. there you have it, put it back in the bag, they can't follow them out of the store. but don't take the license plate number. >> can't do that. they had a big problem. she quit her job. she said another this. i think she was brave. stuart: she was right -- >> they didn't even care that they were approached by someone. stuart: a the a question of the day. how many brains dozen octopus have? >> who comes up with his? stuart: o

that we should be voting on things that we understand, and comprehend there is no text to this bill maherass the bill before you can find out what is in it we don't need obama care 2.0 i think all republicans are you utilitied in this not moving forward until we see exactly what we are talking about the devil is always in the details. maria: you may be getting more than just obamacare in all bills the infrastructure bill we're talking about hard infrastructure, one trillion dollars, that is also that is also side-by-side to the other bill 3 1/2 trillion dollars, that your colleagues on the left want to jam in and amnesty component may want to jam in a voting legislation component. is that going to happen will they be able to get all that through reconciliation do you think? >> well, they call it reconciliation but it is anything but what you and would i call reconciliation it is just another reckless tax and spending spree if they want to hide this alongside you a bipartisan bill i think it really is folly if you step back i have been a businessperson all my progressively life, sometimes
