Comparing prostitutes to politicians is a grave insult to prostitutes.

The grass is greenest where you water it.

Proud to be fellow American with Bill Maher. Salute!

I’m from the UK, love the UK, lived in NYC for 2 years. Loved it, miss it, but above all miss you guys. Be nicer to each other please!

100%. Was born and raised in London, UK. Moved to NJ, USA for 7 years and I found myself complaining about all the things London had better than Jersey city. Then I went back for a long vacation to London only to then complain about all the stuff I had in Jersey City that I didn't' have in London.

As I'm sitting here watching this here in South Africa, we don't have electricity because we have had rolling blackouts for years now. This is because the government is so corrupt that there is no money to upgrade our generating capacity. Today we only had electricity for half of the day. Tomorrow will be the same. Come live here. You will miss home pretty soon.

I was an mmigrant who was also banned by trump. When I finally came back, the press and my American husband expected me to be angry but I wasn't, I was happy and grateful. When they asked me why I was happy, I said nobody would fight for my right to live in their lands except Americans. There is nothing to be angry about. The more you travel, the more you'll appreciate this county. Great topic, Bill Maher.

Moved from America to Vienna, Austria and what he says about trading "things you hate" is dead-on. I feel lucky to live in such a great city but still miss the states quite a bit.

"When you're born in the world, you're given a ticket to the freak show. When you're born in the US you're given a front row seat." -George Carlin

I'm an immigrant from one of the aforementioned countries, and I can't understand how SOME people in the west don't seem to realise how good they've got it...

We need more of these reminders. Thank you.

Years ago I couldn't stand this guy... now he resonates with many of my thoughts. My issue is he hasn't changed much... the world shifted. He nails this piece with many great points.

As a European I can say that nobody listens to 90% of the music of Eurovision.

Having my country of Tajikistan mentioned in any context on an American talk show is a win for me!

I've always said it, visiting and living somewhere are two totally different things. When people say that they cant wait to leave America reminds me of teenagers saying that they cant wait to turn 18 to move out on their own and we all know how that usually turns out. 🤔

There is a serious lack of both historical perspective and gratitude in the United States today. We have had it so good for so long that we now have two generations who have no real idea that they won life’s lottery when they were born here.

I came to America in 1984 from the Philippines to promise to protect, defend and die for it-- to join the Navy! Politics then seemed to be no different than now plus there was still a threat WW 3 could happen. But I never once contemplated on leaving this country that did so much for me for what little I offered to serve it because of politics. Last time I visited my country of birth was 23 years ago. America is still and always will be the beautiful!

As a Nigerian trust me you don't want to live here You think you hate your government wait till you meet ours

There is a severe lack of perspective in the modern west which stems from a very selective view of history and present realities. It infects people on both sides of the political spectrum and pushes perceptions further and further from reality resulting too often in either impotent anger or hopeless apathy. Thanks for a this small dose of a humorous reminder here-- it's more important than it seems in the current ideological climate.

I grew up in the Communist country. At that time the borders were closed if you want to leave the country. There were armed officers who didn't hesitate to shoot people dearing to escape! I had been living in United States for 23 years now. Trust me, the USA, despite all problems, is still the best country to live in.

As someone in Nigeria, y'all have it really good

In Brazil, in the 1970's, during the military dictatorship, the government used the "love it or leave it" slogan, which was popularly completed with "the last person to leave must shut off the airport's lights."

One of Mahrer's best!

Sometimes we don’t know how good we have it. Sometimes I find myself complaining about different things or I’ll hear friends complaining how bad their lives are. I just remind them of all the nice things they have…a big house, a new car, an easy job, beautiful pets and good health and they immediately shut up. 😂 When I catch myself whining about something, I also remind myself of how bad people around the world have it and how blessed I am. 🙏🏻

I left the US in 2006 after serving in the military for 9 years, decided to stay in Italy rather than coming back to the US. Haven't regretted a single second of it and I am reminded of why I did so every time I come back to visit. I am not an expat, I am an immigrant. I emigrated from the US to Italy because I simply couldn't live in that society anymore. I am of modest means, and it would still take high 6 figures to get me to live back in the US, and even then it would only be temporary. I have a better quality of life here as a resident alien than I would as a combat veteran in my own country. I would not recommend Italy to people wanting to leave the US unless they feel it in their bones as their new home like I did. It has to speak to you. There are easier places to emigrate to in the world than Italy, it's just that Italy immediately felt like home when I arrived. The proclivities and priorities of the American people are just so different from my own. People are so quick to blame the politicians they elect in the system that they continue to support without doing any self-reflection so as to change the direction they're going in. I get it, they're two different countries, and Bill was correct when he said you're just trading things you don't like about the US for things you won't like about the new country you will be living in. But there's one big...no...ENORMOUS caveat: the things that I dislike about living here pale in comparison to the things I dislike about living in the US, and no amount of money or lifestyle perks would fix it. The American people don't want to hear it, but the government is not to blame: the people are. The fact that people are divided over having a functioning social system is all the proof you need, and until they aren't divided, nothing will ever change because the politicians will court the constituents they feel will help them get re-elected and continue to poison the well. It's not just that I prefer one place over the other, it's that living in the US comes with so many non-starters that it's not even a consideration anymore, especially with a family. However, if you want to leave the US just because you want to put different desktop wallpaper on your life, then you should stay right where you are. Emigrating from the US would be a bad decision for you. However, if you feel that you are at odds with just about everything, it could be a viable option, but don't think you're going to find a utopia.

"We don't need quitters" We need more repairmen"

“We don’t need quitters.” BINGO

The only thing more cringe than Maher is his audience. They’ll clap at literally every and any buzzword

From someone who lived there 17 years and loved every minute, Americans have so much to stay home and fight for. Lucky bastards.

Greatest thing about living in America is that you won't get bombed by America.😂😂😂

Come to Argentina!! There's so much inflation it's almost funny. "I can't buy food today LMAO 😂"

Can't you live here but still see the issues with it and want to fix it? When my kid has something that can improved upon I go out of my way to help her. Same for the country. She's hurting and we need to acknowledge that. Love you all and God bless

I left in 2000 but it had nothing to do with not liking it in the US. I just never got around to going back and now I don't know anyone and only have one living family member. What he said about changing one set of things you don't like for another is absolutely spot on. Anyplace is what you make it there is no perfect place.

I remember Bill did a bit when Obama got re-elected about conservatives moving to Canada because the US was too liberal

Maher’s delivery makes his jokes funny

I love you again Bill! We lost you for a little bit but there you are!!! Thank you 🙏🏼

As someone who immigrated to the USA, this is exactly how I felt in 2016 when my friends joked about move to Canada.

Bill replaced the annoying loud male laughing audience member with an annoying loud laughing female audience member

Bill Maher, Patriot

that would be so cool if these whiners leave. But I’d bet good money they’d come back right away.

As an Australian I don’t understand the hate of America and especially from Americans. Every country has its goods and it’s bads. Australia is beautiful very safe, clean and modern but the government will make damn sure the harder the work the more tax you pay to the point you stop trying to work harder. 90% of my day involves either American inventions or American content and I love it. Americans should be proud of their great country and all the things it has invented, done, created. It was 1 of the first 3 countries in the world to ban slavery for instance, not all of them have done it yet.

As a European I protest! No I don't watch or listen to the Eurovision song contest! 😅 Great video by the way. Many truths in it. 👍

How about "America: Change It Or Lose It" instead? The other slogan hasn't aged well.

I imagine there is a thin line between people who want to make this country better and want to leave it. I’ve been back and forth on both sides over the years.

The whole show is great, but New Rules is almost always the consistent highlight.

I taught at a highly selective university and was amazed at how oppressed students felt.

New rule for you bill , when hypocrisy is so apparent, you first to come to mind

Bill is great lately, and this is funny. However it is incredibly frustrating to hear so many of my fellow Americans whine and complain. They have zero perspective, and no knowledge of history. If they did, they would wake up grateful to be in this place. Far from perfect, but wonderful in so many ways.

OMG! This is unbelievably hilarious and incredibly sad! Having grown up in the Soviet Union and moving to Canada in 1992, I couldn't feel more grateful for living here and raising my son in this absolutely amazing country full of opportunities. One truly realizes how incredibly lucky they are only when they can compare things.

Hilarious bit about Amsterdam! For us Dutchies though - who live elsewhere in our tiny and quite okay country - Amsterdam is just a city we go and visit to watch tourists get their prejudices confirmed about our country. I AM KIDDING! I love New Rule!

Give it up Bill. Get out while you can. Run!

Im with you man. I lived abroad in exile for some time and felt like id abandoned my country and felt duty bound eventually to return. Times are crazy but im glad to be alive and to be here.

Bill, You never disappoint! TY ❤

Belgium calling here. I travel the world for work and do this for the past 30 years. Some visits were brief, others for months up to a year and this all over the globe. There is simply not "the best country" and sure is not the US. I have no connection with that country as I find it very shallow in social life and over the past years got so polarized that politics is dominating social life. The US is uber commercialized and medicated. Yes, I pay 50% on various taxes and other "innovative" payments but I do not need to worry to meet months end when there is a medical issue. There is no slave labor in the restaurants so waiters need that 17-20% tip. There is lots to say about my home country, trust me, really a lot and will never ever label it as the land of milk & honey but politicians can declare themself atheist without loosing voters, we have abortion rights, try as much as we can to keep religion out of social life, ... We still have a medical system that puts people first rather that green ... I sure love going to Southern Africa but that is a bubble (got a higher income that the locals making my life a breeze compared to theirs), I like going to South East Asia but you can't criticize politics and for sure not royals and I can go own. Once again, I am not blind for the shortcomings of my own country but wish the US was also not so blindly patriotic and dare to question rationally their daily life.

If ONLY the ones that don't love it here would actually just LEAVE! That would be a step in the right direction for sure.

Bill Maher is so right on, not just here but in all his monologues!

Interesting points. After graduate school, nobody in the USA would hire me. So I worked in Taiwan for a decade. Why? The universities there didn’t care what colour my skin was; all they wanted to see was my friggin PhDs.

Amsterdam is a city not a country and it has a very diverse cuisine. I'm an Expat from California that's lived in the Netherlands for 5 years. This is the sweet life and my kids have never been happier. Dutch people are blunt but very friendly to Americans and most people speak English here. If I could make it work If live here forever.

Bill NAILS it yet again!

Well said!

No utopias anywhere, every country has issues.

"Shining shithole on a hill" is actually a pretty decent description of the US. 👍

It's about time people stopped looking at everything like it's the worst thing ever and started appreciating what they actually have.

"America, I'm putting my weird shoulder to the wheel." (apologies to Allen Ginsberg)

Honestly I prefer Europe because you don't need to drive everywhere to get anywhere, I can get the services and I don't worry about bankruptcy if I get sick. I just started my own company and the government is paying for unemployment until I can make enough money to give myself a salary, I can watch the Superbowl, tons of amazing sports while eating better food which doesn't have what yee-haw Jesus freaks add to make profit over my health. I go to vacation by train, which does include the occasional strike but I rather have that than endless traffic jams. There are issues in many countries but honestly, it'll take a lot to bring me back to the US.

It's interesting that celebrities who say they are leaving America never go.

I wish I could love it and I wish I could leave it.

There was a time... long, long ago... when Bill Maher was relevant: back when we used flip-phones and dial-up internet.

Actually, Bill's depiction of Italian village life sounds perfect to me. He sold it rather than not lol

So sick of this slogan... right up there with "get a job" all the while the MIC and Congressional Shareholders clink champagne. Thanks Bill.

When you compare your worst to someone else's best

Its hard to not have quitters when youve literally got millions of them fleeing to our country every year

We moved to Europe a year and a half ago, and we are glad we did. Life is better here. The cost of living is better. Health care is better. The weather is better. The culture is better. And there isn’t the predominance of a**holes like there is in America. It’s certainly not for everyone, but it works for us.

that one woman in the crowd has the time of her life..... ,,HAHAHhahaaaaaaaa"

Kidding me? There ain't nowhere to go.

2:58 - I’m impressed that Bill called out his friend Eddie Vedder.

That one lady cackling at everything made me so annoyed 💀

Idk what Bill is smoking, but The Netherlands is a much better country to live in than America.

As a Canadian, there are some things I don't like about my country, but I would never trade it for a life in America.

I on;y lived in America for 3 years, and with Trump it was my greatest regret@

I'm 52 now. I have made arrangements to move to Sweden when I'm 56. I'm not "quitting" -- I just simply want to live somewhere else

Thank you for the honesty. Sad and funny all at the same time.

As a Costa Rican, no, there are no snake bites in airplanes. We do have locally produced anti-venom and a healthcare system that doesn't make you bankrupt for having an accident.

Bill calling people entitled whiners is hilarious

BILL! Child marriage is legal in parts of US and many places have bans on abortion.

Bill Maher: America is not that bad... if you compare it to Burundi.

Thank you Bill.❤

Appreciate this message. I don’t see the attraction of other countries. America 🇺🇸 is big & beautiful - lots to see and places to enjoy!

Is joaquin phoenix’s joker sitting in the audience?? Sheeeeesh that one laugh lol

I know dozens of people who have moved overseas when they retired and they have no regrets!

Thanks for helping us put things in perspective Bill.

George Carlin would be proud of you. Great job.

And yet Americans vote for leaders who admire Putin, Kim Jung Un, etc.

That wall isn't here to keep you in😂😂 For now😅😅

Brilliant points here, and as an expat since 2006 I wholeheartedly agree with everything.

Tell it like it is!

It's a healthy experience and a privilege to spend time in other countries, partly to appreciate things we take for granted in America, but also how America has no excuse for many things. There are free societies. One doesn't have to choose places like Cuba or Ecuador or Sri Lanka or Russia. I spent much of my life in America trying to fix it and it got worse. Now i live somewhere else. Time for my wooden ball game...

"Child marriages, food shortages and the strictest abortion laws in the world." Apart from the food shortages, that describes some parts of America.

Cancel culture has just about totally eliminated " Free Speech." So at least you can still get enough food. Even if it comes from public assistance. Problem is a lot of folks seem to be working AGAINST " fixing it. "

What I love about Ann she refuses to be canceled!
