what’s Bill Maher’s obsession with Greta Thunberg. She doesn’t really even fit in this discussion and he finds a way to bring her up
bro had 20 years to craft this bs response
nah he def meant the other retarded this is retarded
And the musical term is "ritard" or "ritardando" not "retard"
Dumbest thing I've heard. This is a musical term yes but you then use multiple words in the song associated negatively with the word. "Get stupid" "get ignant" "get cookoo". Just say you said it and move on don't play us for fools.
Greta is like
You have to be retarded to believe anything that Will I Am is saying here . They literally sing “get stupid” over and over again in the chorus. This historical revisionist nonsense just makes him look weak and insipid. It would’ve been better if he said nothing.
Yeah then he says “Let’s get stupid” lol
I feel more retarded after he tried to explain it.
Lmao. The hoops he is jumping through. Man stfu. Turned a masterpiece into a pile of shit song by switching one word.
Apparently, it’s woke to grow over 20 years as a society? Like obviously it’s not acceptable now, and it was 20 years ago. Lots of things were acceptable 20 years ago that aren’t acceptable now. That’s called Progress.
basically bill maher: you don't have to explain who cares i'm glad people are starting not too care again will-i-am: let me explain
“Good luck explaining that to Greta” had me like how dare you…🤣
That's why the lyric is retarded and not RITARDED?!? Just let it be what it is ya pandering idiot.
“Get retarded, get stupid” “Let's get ign'ant, let's get hectic” “Bob your head like epilepsy” “Let's get coo-koo, uh-huh, we coo-koo in here(R-e-t-a-r-d-e-d)” How embarrassing is this cope. It was a different time, just own it dude 😂
Yea except the song title says “retarded” and the musical term is spelled “ritard”. If they truly wanted that lyric to reference a musical term, then why not spell it that way? Wouldn’t have caused any controversy and make them redo the song. There is a reason the song was re-recorded and re-titled and he knows exactly why. Just take respsonsibilty, admit it was a different time back then and move on…
Bill getting angry about Greta hypothetically getting angry is a bit psychotic
Ritard (ritardando), a musical term, and the word “retard” are not same. Anyone can look this up for themselves.
I hate having my intelligence insulted as if I'm retarded.
I love selling bread retarders. Kinda surprised the wokes never came after their names!
Um this song was literally re-written then to let's get it started. So what is he talking about?
I love how ritard and slur are musical terms.
I was talking to my girl about this two weeks ago. She had never heard the retarded version before that and it blew her mind.
Maher helped usher all this in with support of Democrats. He doesn’t get to dodge blame now
It’s ritard. Short for. Ritardando in Italian. I cannot believe I have to explain this on social media. The fact that we are now so stupid as a society that we don’t know how to spell or use the proper forms of language. Retard and ritard are not even remotely the same thing..
Yes, in music, there is a term in sheet music called "Retardando". It is an Italian musical term that means to gradually slow down the tempo.
Well, that was pretty retarded He knew exactly what he was doing, and he knew exactly how people were going to interpret the song. What a pretencious coward to cling to such crap for this long. You made a dumb song featuring the word retarded. Own it and move on. Who cares.
Musically, its 'ritard' not 'retard.'
What a load of bullshit. 🤣 It’s just a silly song, don’t try to intellectualize it.
JFC Bill Maher sucks. I used to look forward to his shows on Friday nights. Now all he does is bash young people and democrats while giving a pass to Trump for literally everything.
Isn’t the word “Ritard” ? What is this goofball even talking about. Such bullshit
"Things have changed over 20 years" but they changed the lyrics to "started" within a year, so over 20 years ago. It hasn't been the original for 2 decades, because even back then they realised their mistake. Bill is such a bimbo
America completely going down the toilet because of Trump/MAGA. But at least we can say the R word again because of true patriots and heroes like Bill Maher. 🙄 Massive blue wave coming in November. F Bill.
Maybe he’s trying to bite off Mac Dre and let’s get stupid and retarded in here and he just didn’t want to admit that fucking stupid shit
That is a retarded explanation, ritard means to slow down tempo. He ment retarded, which is fine.
![Bill Maher: “[The left] started to teach that every baby is, I don’t know, [let’s not even put the gender on the] birth certificate.” Patton Oswalt: “Were we teaching that?” Bill Maher: “Yes we were. Teach it—it was a law here in California.” Patton Oswalt: “Teaching what?” Bill Maher: “Don’t put s*x on the birth certificate. We’ll see.” Patton Oswalt: “I’m sorry, I don’t remember that.” Bill Maher: “I know, because it doesn’t get in the BlueSky bubble.” BOOM!](https://image.24vids.com/tw-1990481896522813546/amplify_video_thumb/1990481794840379392/img/DlPIloR92LJvIG-j.jpg)
![Bill Maher leaves his guest visibly dumbfounded after yanking him out of his liberal bubble. Patton Oswalt couldn’t believe what he was hearing: “I’m sorry, I don’t remember [the left doing] that.” That’s when Bill Maher told him why his blind spot was so massive: “Because it doesn’t get into the Blue Sky Bubble.” OSWALT: “I hate to admit this: this country is not as mature as it thinks it is. We elected Obama, and clearly the country freaked out. And we’re still living in that freakout. We are not as progressed and evolved and intelligent as we think we are because we keep freaking out about this stuff.” MAHER: “The left freak out, too. The left freaked out about a lot of bullshit too.” OSWALT: “What did they freak out about?” MAHER: “Gender, race, parenthood, schools, homelessness, crime, the border, education. We stopped being a scientific people.” OSWALT: “But the left certainly stayed scientific.” MAHER: “No, they didn’t.” OSWALT: “Why not?” MAHER: “Because they think gender bullshit that they went way too far with… What makes us a great country is that we respect minorities. We don’t think they’re lesser just because they’re lesser in numbers. That’s not what we started to teach, which was that every baby is — I don’t know — let’s not even put it on the birth certificate. That’s what they wanted.” OSWALT: “Were we teaching that? Yes. When were we teaching that? Teaching it. It was a law here in California, see.” MAHER: “Yes.” OSWALT: “When were we teaching that?” MAHER: “Teaching it — it was a law here in California.” OSWALT: “To teach what?” MAHER: “Don’t put sex on the birth certificate. ‘We’ll see.’ Now, we’ve passed that period now.” OSWALT: “I’m sorry, I don’t remember that.” MAHER: “Because it doesn’t get in the Blue Sky bubble.”](https://image.24vids.com/tw-1990498316518305892/amplify_video_thumb/1990496366498353152/img/lzNzBbJXeCJdMuF5.jpg)
![Bill Maher: “You need to hear that other side. You need to be checked. People need to be checked. Including your little girl.” David Cross: “F*ck that b*tch. F*ck that little b*tch with her black friends and tr*ns friends and not even understanding.” Bill Maher: “Tr*ns? Wait, [your daughter] has tr*ns friends in third grade?” David Cross: “Yeah.” Bill Maher: “They know they’re tr*ns in third grade?” David Cross: “I think just turned 9 [years-old]… Just the coolest kid.” Bill Maher: “[Is the child transitioning from] girl to boy?” David Cross: “Girl to boy. And she has another very close friend who’s not in the school, but who’s boy to girl at 3 years old.” Bill Maher: “A woman said, ‘I was what they called a tomboy. If I was alive now and acted the way I did then, that’s what they would have done to me.’” David Cross: “Well, nobody’s doing this to her.” Bill Maher: “Well, I don’t know.” David Cross: “Literally nobody is doing this to her.” Bill Maher: “How old?” David Cross: “Either 8 or I think 9.” Bill Maher: “Okay, then somebody is doing something because 8 or 9-year-olds can’t do anything on their own.” David Cross: “No, they’re buying them boys' clothes.” Bill Maher: “Well then, they’re doing something.” David Cross: “Sure. Yes, you’re right. They’re buying them boys' clothes.” Bill Maher: “And telling them you’re a boy now.” David Cross: “No, no, they’re not telling them. They’re just agreeing with [the child].” Bill Maher: “Agreeing with an 8-year-old. Because when has their judgment ever been off at 8?” David Cross: “You knew you weren’t g*y, right?… It’s not different.” Bill Maher: “It is different. Good luck with President Vance. Because, as I always say to my woke friends, we voted for the same person. You’re just why [Kamala Harris] lost and this is a case of that.” David Cross: “Wait, what?” Bill Maher: “We voted for the same person. You’re just why she lost. Because America hears this, and they’re going to go, ‘Bill’s right. 8-year-olds can’t really make decisions on their own like this.’ That’s what most people are going to say.” “This is why we’re going to vote for JD Vance... That’s America in a nutshell.”](https://image.24vids.com/tw-2048860710478717062/amplify_video_thumb/2048860413975273472/img/yCCivAl6PkFRj3Q3.jpg)
![BILL MAHER: “I’m supportive of the idea of going into Iran. I thought that was a good attempt. What I hope [Trump] does now is realize it didn't work … Let’s not make a bad situation worse.

![Bill Maher: “I love Clint Eastwood… I would love to meet him… and just say, ‘Thank you for the entertainment.’ … They hate him in Hollywood because he’s sort of a Republican. It’s like, oh come on, really do you have to f*cking obsess about that?” Woody Harrelson: “I live in Texas … it’s all day long I’m meeting and hanging with Republicans. You just don’t talk about [politics]. Let’s just not talk about it. I don’t want to talk about Trump. I don’t want to talk about Biden.” “As you know, I’m an anarchist… I am.

![Mike Rowe tells Bill Maher that his conservative friends “lost their minds” because he was talking to him…and his liberal friends “lost their minds” because he spoke to Glenn Beck — in the same week. That was the exact moment Maher interrupted Rowe with a legendary one-liner that light the place on fire: MAHER: “F*CK both of them!” [Audience erupts in laughter and applause] ROWE: “You know what?…” “It was truly the first time, though, I realized I don’t think people are listening to anything I’m saying. I think they’re looking at who I’m sitting next to.” MAHER: “Yeah, people don’t engage… I make this complaint all the time.” “I just say to people whenever they criticize me, are you engaging with the idea?” “If you are, we are good.” “If you’re just saying no, you’re old, you’re White, you’re this, you’re that, or on the other side, you’re Black….” “That’s not the idea. Engage with the idea!” ROWE: “What a concept!” [Applause]](https://image.24vids.com/tw-2085923132251034007/amplify_video_thumb/2085919507097276416/img/_a6QDimdxX8i6TbK.jpg)
