00:00At an AOC Bernie Sanders rally in Idaho last month, someone threw a Palestinian flag over an American flag, and the crowd erupted in approval.
00:09What should have happened after that is one of the adults on stage should have told their young, loyal followers,
00:15this is not a symbol of freedom. This is.
00:18This is a serious problem for Democrats.
00:20Less than one in four Democrats under 30 say they're proud to be an American.
00:2554% say they're embarrassed by it. Embarrassed.
00:30Like America, is your mom picking you up at school?
00:34You're embarrassed to be an American? Well, guess what? The feeling's mutual.
00:38Because you have no perspective. Is America perfect? No, of course not. No country is.
00:44The problem isn't just who's at the top, it's what they stand for.
00:47The current ideology is out of touch with everyday struggles.
00:51Real people care about the economy, public safety, and basic stability, not hashtags and hollow speeches.
00:57But the progressive wing seems locked into a reality where likes matter more than livelihoods.
01:02And don't worry, we'll get to where Bill Maher is headed with all this in just a second.
01:06But first, let's dive into the part he's really tearing apart.
01:09What he sees as a deep, almost obsessive disdain coming from AOC and her progressive crew.
01:15A disdain not just for opposing ideas, but for America itself.
01:18For everything this country stands for. Freedom, fairness, open dialogue.
01:24They're either mocking it or trying to reinvent it through a lens that feels more hostile than
01:28hopeful. Bill Maher doesn't hold back. He goes in hard. He drags the progressive crowd for their
01:33non-stop performance politics, their obsession with identity over ideas, and their twisted habit
01:38of labeling patriotism as bigotry, like it's fashionable. In their world, if Trump touched it,
01:44it's automatically evil. No questions asked. Doesn't matter if it actually helped people,
01:49like tax cuts for working families. It's all the same to them. Racist border control,
01:54xenophobic energy independence, climate denial. Even when a policy makes perfect sense,
01:59they toss it in the trash the second Trump's name is attached to it.
