I wanted to like that more than I did because I can’t stand Bill Maher but it’s a 7 minute video and only 2 minutes was them talking. And of that 2 minutes, like 30 seconds we’re about Gaza.
And in that 30 seconds, Burr didn’t “unload” anything. Maher says college kids are pro-Hamas, burr says they’re pro-palestine, maher says that’s the same thing, and burr doesn’t even push back. Then they move on and Burr makes fun of him for being a know-it-all.
To be fair, not enough people push back against Bill Maher or call him out even that much. I suspect that’s because he postures as some debate bro who’s all into free speech until he encounters someone who mildly disagrees with him, at which point he unleashes the impotent rage of his tightly-controlled prestige television platform, proving that his supposed stance on free speech was a hypocritical facade all along.
It is nice to see though, even a little.
I don’t think that’s fair. It’s Bill Burr…his “response” was to instantly drop it and move on to Ukraine. It would have been a tame response from Joe Pera, let alone Bill Burr
I expected him to explode like he often does in the face of insolence based on the title and hype from the hosts but his insult wasn’t even related to Maher’s opinion on Gaza. I’m less disappointed in Burr than I am the hosts for making a 7 minute video about it
You the real MVP.
Yeah I don’t recommend watching it. Kinda feels like I wasted 7 minutes there
