Bill Maher Faceplants While Attacking Jimmy Dore & Joe Rogan!
5/6/20261 hr 1 min
Jimmy takes a mini victory lap to celebrate Bill Maher finally mentioning him on his show after years of resentment, while also disparaging Maher for admitting he doesn't know what the "Overton window" is and has no interest in learning, despite hosting a political talk show. Jimmy points out that Maher was previously embarrassed for not knowing what the World Economic Forum (WEF) or MK Ultra were when Joe Rogan asked him years ago.
Jimmy and Americans' Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss how Maher rewards ignorance and comfort over "uncomfortable knowledge," and that his audience claps "like seals" when he says "stop making me know stuff I don't want to know."
The segment contrasts Maher's refusal to learn basic political terminology with clips of Glenn Greenwald destroying Maher for blaming Islamic extremism rather than decades of US military intervention for Middle East violence—after which Maher famously said, "I'm never having someone on who's smart again." Jimmy closes by noting that Maher's recent guests include exclusively establishment figures who won't question him or any of the dominant narratives.
Plus segments on the mainstream media finally reporting on the damage inflicted by Iran on US bases in the Persian Gulf and China telling Trump to take his sanctions on Iranian oil and stick 'em.
Also featuring Ray McGovern and Stef Zamorano!

Just to let you know what the Overton window is, I think everyone knows what the Overton window is. It's a very common phrase- Mm ... used almost, uh, exclusively in comedy... I mean, in politics.
Kurt Metzger· Panelist1:13
Mm-hmm.
Jimmy Dore· Host1:14
So the Overton window is a concept in a political sci- in political science describing the range of ideas or policies that are considered acceptable or mainstream within public opinion at any given time. Policies inside the window are seen as viable for politicians
