New Rule: Political Firestorm | Real Time with Bill Maher (HBO)

America is so partisan now that even when there's a disaster – of any kind – many people choose to defend their own team even over death.

I'm a white guy who had a car accident when I was 21. It was a black man who found me & got the help that saved my life. "Man, I wish he was white" is something I never freaking thought & nobody in trouble gives a damn either. How did we get here? 🤦‍♂

Can you imagine a Latino person trapped in a burning house, a white fireman comes in and the person is like: “Thanks but I’ll wait for someone from Columbia”.

The lesbian firefighter admonishing the fire victim for being in the fire is wild.

So, If my cat is stuck in a tree, I would want a rescue team of other cats to come get him down?

[EdDiaz-fzkj]

If im trapped in a fire i dont want someone that look like me i want the lost twins of Shaq and Jason Momoa

[Audicjdhro]

People who pretend to be victims hate people who are really in trouble.

911 What emergency do you have?

"Hey, please come to my house right away if you look like me.

"Yes, please send me a picture so I can help you more effectively."

I know people who retired and moved out of California immediately because of the high State tax rate and the living condition in California is deteriorating with homelessness and soft policy on crimes. And that deputy needs to be fired for what she said.

This is why Independents stick around and continue to watch Maher, not scared of criticizing Dems

[ClarkTheShark]

As an elected public official in Los Angeles, I can unequivocally say that Bill’s analysis is 100% accurate.

[MackAdler]

6:32 that is absolutely disgusting. I cannot be believe how openly racist someone can be and get away with it

[kelleylastname]

I’m finding myself agreeing more and more with Bill. Which is weird. But he seems to be one of the rare ones who will say whatever needs to be said.

[ClassicJM]

This was so needed. We all may not be Maher fans 24/7, but sometimes he is spot on, and this video proves it.

Who teaches this bullshit? University professors and administrators. I know, I've worked in the UC system for 25 years. They've educated a generation to value virtue signaling and posturing over real content, real action, and real ideas

[kinggoldark]

“Who teaches people this bullshit?”

As succinct as it is correct.

[stephengamber]

Bet L.A. spends plenty of money on DEI and "Equity" mandates.

[kadourimdou]

The state that has the largest tax collection, and a larger economy than most countries can’t get the funding?
That’s just disgraceful.

[tomlaw]

All the seals clap but if there was an election tomorrow, they'd all vote the same.

[MackAdler]

I think people should hire or promote individuals based on merit or their abilities and skill and not based on their gender or how inclusive they are

My heart goes out to the People Animals and Trees.
