Just listened to Mark Cuban on Pod Save America, jeez he has a positive outlook.
How can you say the actions of Trump is so un American? Look how Americans treated the Native American
Childish Gambino = Prince
🤔 … not exactly, but i see where you are coming from.
34:50 let’s not forget most of those bills passed easily with plenty of democratic support. Biden voted yes on most of them🤷♂️
Knowing that Trump is fueled by revenge and lies, how could Tim criticize Biden for pardoning his son?
We need a HUUUUUUUUUGE march on Washington!!!!
As a liberal, I fucks with Tim.
Tim Miller exposed to his dark side that he still doesn't realize lives in him. He blames Democrats for where we're at and where we're heading is just bizarre to me that he's ever been involved in any elections or politics period for that matter. Who's going to tell Miller this it's his Republican party that's taking the country into dark dark years that we may never recover from! Miller likes that WWE mentality that's really fk'd up, …bring down the temperature! John McCain's border commercial was repurposed by Trump is a good reminder who all Republicans are! Yes Republicans are putting themselves through the wood chipper just for access, real admirable!!!
😂 Marko Rubio/Ted Cruz (RubCruz) Syndrome; empty the clip on me and I'll STILL bend the knee or flat out kneel and suck it up 😮. Lindsey G is in Love with him AND just wants to be near him, awww 💕.
Tom Tancredo was the guy Tim was trying to remember.
I'm convinced at this point that the democrats could win easily if they nominated a Mr. Big that promises big changes like Obama, Sanders, or Trump, a charismatic leader, but for good (left populist). Unfortunately we have too many ignorant people in this country to appeal to quiet, institutional intellectualism. We can change that slowly over time through investing in education, but in this immediate crisis we need to strategize to appeal to the dummies.
Everyone is tripping over themselves to talk about how open minded and real Tim Miller is. But I have a gigantic problem with Rebuplican (or former Republican, or whatever he is now) gays. A lot of what he is — openly gay, married to a man, adopting a child — was (AND STILL IS) fought against by Republicans. Yes, I get that not all Republicans feel that way. But–as a party–they stand for taking away the rights of gay people. (And, by the way, most of the rights gay people do have exist largely because Democrats fought for them.) All this "fiscal Republican" nonsense is how we got to where we are today. It's the part of "if it makes money for me, I'm on board. I don't care what else happens."
You surely do interrupt your interview guests A LOT! Are you listening to them or are you just thinking about your next question or topic?
Step one is if people like him, taking a step back and closing their mouth because they’re the ones who got us here
The reason they don’t want to criticize him really is they support his open racism …. Obama winning the Presidency scared white people they hated the idea of equality… that is why we have Trump.. other voters thought they were fighting the establishment and he was the con man the whole time. But all of this is due to their hate .. the Epstein thing is rooted in trying to find anything that they thought would make democrats look bad .. but again TRUMP was the problem like we said he was THE WHOLE TIME
Great interview. Two very funny intelligent men.
Mad respect to the man for coming on knowing he'd have to actually answer hard questions about accountability….not really definitive answers, but at least he's not telling me there is no list 😂
i don’t get gay republicans
Charles
Hasan, I have been avoiding your video because I was expecting satire like Colbert a la daily show. You have gone above that, more like John leas like the daily.
Tim is a good translator of Republican to human but he was the Trump admin before the Trump admin, he’s was an architect of the idea that lies can be made real and he and the Republican Party lost control of this monster I hope that he is aware of the debt he owes to this country for what he and others unleashed on us.
Tin miller 4 prez
i dont care
It's completely false that leftists aren't cultish. Ironically, the belief that cultish behaviour is purely an affliction of the conservative mindset or culture, is one of the signs of having fallen into a cognitive bias that reinforces your belief in your own moral superiority.
Mark Cuban has FDR potential for sure. Class traitor etc. however you want to call it. FDR was arguably a class traitor. He would have been a top 5 president if he hadn't, you know, thrown a bunch of Japanese in concentration camps, huge stain on an otherwise triumphant moment in history.
If only Yang had won…
Very confused by these outfits.
10:25 i’m out. This is as much as I can listen to. This guy had every advantage in life… he doesn’t need any more. Bye.
i will forever hate loving Tim Miller, no matter what he does next. thanx for your curiosity and sharing, Hassan!
I have to agree with Tim Miller. Trump's game plan will turn this country into a third rate dictatorship.
Tim Miller is my favorite political YouTuber.
I’m pretty sure I couldn’t throw a stick in Los Angeles in 2016 without hitting someone who believed we were a year away from World War III if Trump got elected so I’m not sure I buy that imagining a rowdy Protest or him being in the Epstein files would’ve been seeing as beyond the pale. Also unrelated, bitcoin 21:00 in Covid is a terrible example because it’s worth 5X what it was at its peak in 2020 as we sit today
I like Tim’s personality. He was 💩 when
He was a republican and he’s still 💩 now that he’s a never trumper. He still holds to some super shitty republican policies and he’s in the capitalism cult even after he’s seen how terrible an economic system it is.its truly sad!
Hasan Minhaj needs to shut up and let the guest talk
Hasan for you to be 39 did you really just ask that?….
Build the fence! 😂
Did he swear as much before trump? Is that him demonstrating hie specific outrage or was that always his vibe?
Fun fact – nihilism is NOT a cowards way out.
Re policy: Polls re Dems are not good. We need loud policies. Anti-genocide, pro-Ukraine, Universal Healthcare, support FEMA & public education, back Langford's immigration plan, and tax the rich … POLICY!!!
Good interview. Hasan said democrats are the least popular he’s ever seen. I think so are the republicans. It’s Trump who’s popular. In binary choice party, his politics happen to more aligned with Republicans
I see this world view about the USA and I think unless the Democrats can deliver up some solutions, good will and win over both the ruling class and the working class – there is no hope. You guys are killing yourselves off. Fundamentalist religion is too strong. As a Canadian we believe in peace, order and good governance, are fiercely unified and want nothing to do with you.
Was McCain the last Repug with integrity?
This guy is gay. I was feeling him but then it all made sense.
Hasan is right. At this moment. I’d invite anyone to google what happened when an Indian man was asked a similar question as McCain was. Jagmeet Singh in Canada. And he responds by questioning why being a Muslim or Arab is bad. 33:02
Ronald and Nancy Reagan were not sweet. Anybody that condemns a generation of people to die from HIV and AIDS because the majority of people getting sick were gay, minorities, etc. is not the foundation of anyone sweet.
Additionally, Reagan directed and allowed the republican party to start the end of the middle class. To create CEOs that make hundreds of times more than employees. Lowering taxes on wealthy and corporations.
There was nothing sweet there. NOTHING. He was an actor. and people fell for it.
This guy is a Neoliberal, just like Nancy Pelosi, Biden, the Clintons, and most Dems in power.
TIL Tim Miller is actually a republican. I have only ever seen this guy bashing Trump I've assumed he's just another liberal.
