Welcome to an h b, o podcast from the h b, o latency and real time with bill maher
So we got a big. Thank you very much. I Democrats are happy. They pass their big anti inflation bill, the climate bill, the one that would run again. Why do approve? Already now back over forty percent price? A gasoline is under four dollars: inflation is going down. Prescription drugs are now gonna because it is no bill much.
Affordable for senior is popular across the board. Even a majority of republicans now approve abiden, stealing the election it's the job he earned his vacation vacation now, just the immediate family and whoever one hunter found on craigslist the hunter. There's something wrong with that boy. I tell you the kids leaving his laptop computer stories. They found. I'm not making this part up economic at any time. really. This is agreed that we found in hunter binds words talking about. Why he's always leaving nude selfies? He said in his words, I love being reassured that my nine inch very big penis is actually very big.
I mean your measured it in its nine, which is why are we having anyway, and he has been reassured because everyone who meets him says what a dick also knows brandt last free at last, the cdc. Finally says they are dropping a lot of the restriction ribbon under four covered guidelines. You know there are going to change, they say we just have to get used to it. Covered is like an australian on vacation here to stay and seeing what aid they point out. These are only guidelines they do not want to use. The word mandate,
A mandate can lead to monkey box. The really big story this week, the fbi, rated moral logo on three- is currently I find this hard to believe. But apparently Donald rob was up to no good at an hour, but they say the fbi was tipped off by someone very close to him. So up eliminates model But he went into a home for nine hours. Of course republicans reacted like they do, and roger when someone burns a current priorities
pakistan! Sorry, I thought you knew the yes, the holy man, Donald trump was insulted. So now, all across the right wing media, it's war, they're literally using this word civil war war. as a right wing parties. Castrating name stephen crowd here said sleep well tomorrow. Is war and then tomorrow came in. There was no war unless, by war he means more podcasting. Why does a dozen people protesting people outside of moral logo,
that was their war. They first battalion of the mug brigade based out of fort starbucks, trumpet out its neighbour. My beautiful home is undeceived. Even lending grain was like girl, relax, they waited till you weren't all may when they got to me or old boxes. It wasn't so much of a rate is a bad break up, but even then This is about some. They saying now the washington post about nuclear, information that shouldn't be out there, that trumpets trump supporters like no. This is politically motivated. They say if you lock him up lock her up,
and oliver like fascination. This is a big thing. If they can do this to trump, they can do it to you. That's right bridge. American thanks lies before you leave the white house with classified nuclear into somebody else's these me, but this is actually how this system is supposed to work. You know like when you watch criminal mines. It's like that exceptions Leaders have long. John montagnier puts it in jail. It's one of the reasons I have never staged a coup, but I think this is what they really were upset about. They got into a safe, they have the same. They and the faith interesting trump safe. You get in by facial recognition.
I luckily one of them had a rotting jack o' lantern, the here's, the exciting the got into his safe and we got the contents are on the way here tonight. We're going to open them right here on the scene together for the first time, I'm very excited it should be here in about I dunno twenty minutes, depending on how the panels doing crafts anyway, trump had a really terrible week. Not just did that happen to him. He had to testify in new york about his business empire, which is a little shady. I hear he took the fifth four hundred and forty times and after posted this day, but he said you know I once said,
if you're innocent. Why are you pleading the fifth now? I know the know two because you're fucking guilty: that's why we got a great show: piers, morgan and ricky slot here, but first coffee as a columnist for the new york times and author of the deep places, a memoir of illness and discovery ross douthat as of the early there's so much going on in the world, but for the next ten minutes we're going to talk mostly about lyme disease because Hopefully no one is watching the ratings dial at hp. Oh how well you know what, hopefully, no no one is out there in new england or places were these texts are walking around with bare feet because I mean you ve, been to Helen back. That's what your book is about.
first one this so glad you look fine, you look healthy, I'm so glad you came back and I mean you. Talked about the fact that when you got isn't twenty fifteen and then in the ten days you saw ten doctors all of of which were wrong about what you had yeah. So I basically my life, and I were living in Washington DC. As you know, our leaders, journalists tend to do like you know like a lot of people in DC, we had a fantasy of escaping to the country. We were both from new england and, at a certain point, We just decided to do it to where two lime itself, the town to town, where my wife grew up in western connecticut, so we bought the farm house, the brick, the stone walls, the barn. You know I was
be a gentleman farmer, something like this terms, I always agree, and it was you know, greenacre meet Stephen king. That was basically basically that I now I think, that's what happened while we, while we were moving their basic while we were still in DC, but we done the home inspection and I'd wandered in the fields and inspected my whole beautiful property. I got horribly sick this bizarre way where I had pain. over my body, phantom heart attacks I lost fifty pounds which inspired some people to say that I was looking really good, but that was not and is not ideal, and yet in no one could No one could figure out what was that at least ten doctors in ten days ro empties random, assuming that you went that route first and A lot of them said it was stress yet
it was your moving. You have a column for the new york times that has to be stressful. They'd, read the comments that were talking. What we're talking about serious pain right I mean like I was, I was sleeping about an hour and I I was going to emergency rooms with chest pain and nothing was showing up on blood work and basically they were condition to say rights and so on. I mean you see why, besides the fact that I do care about you and glad you're better, why I'm so glad you're here to testify, because this is so did the case. I've been trying to prosecute on television for about thirty years and its never popular People want to believe that the doctors were priesthood and there Coats and they have all the answers and you're just living proof of I'm trying to tell them. I don't! I don't think the necessarily their corrupt. Although there is some of that, they just don't know a lot.
So here's your statement? You said I very quickly entered a world where the official medical consensus had little to. Offer me, I was only out with only outside that consensus among lime, disease, doctors, his approach to treatment lacked any cdc erupting implement door, it found real help and real hope, What did they know that the other doctors didn't so basically, They knew that there is a sort of, standard way. Then you get line disease, which is true of many illnesses and medicine in it's sort of great successes which I'm not you know, I'm not here to criticise, is built on figuring out what the standard cases and treating that case and with lime disease the standard cases you get a bowles I rash around, where the tick goes in you, you get a positive blood test. You take two weeks of antibiotics you're better and for about seventy percent of people who get line disease. That's what happens?
And then there are the other exciting cases like like myself, in which the This sort of easy answer doesn't work and you it's not just that you have to sort of go outside the consensus. You have to experiment- and this is something you know this was I guess, for years before covert gave us in our kind of crash course on what it means tat A disease that nobody has encountered before, but basically when you're in that percent of any given disease that doesn't fit inside the box. You have to both find doctors and strange places and you have to sort of become your own doc And sometimes do very strange things to yourself what strange things Did you do to yourself? I lay lay on tables and let chiropractors put magnets all over me. Body I bought a machine, call the rice machine, It looks like tat
peter in nineteen eighties movie, sort of weird science kind of computer that supposed regenerates vibrations. That shatter bacteria and info. as I describe it, and this is something I try and do in the book. You know when you have an illness like this, you do things and while you're doing them, you think to yourself. Well, this is obviously crazy and then sometimes they do nothing and But sometimes they actually do help you and help you get better and For me it was the weird stuff and taking six years worth of antibiotics, which I finally I'm taking about a year ago and I'm ninety five percent better- and you know here I am with you yeah I laughed so again, I'm going to quote you. You said from the beginning that pandemic to it's stolen version, there were weirdos on the internet, your
Where does on the who were more reliable guides to what was happening to what was happening? what was possible and what should actually be done than anthony. algae or any other official information source There is kind of a connection here, too covered and medicine. In general, is that yeah There is a lot of misinformation out there. Some. It's from weirdos on the internet and some the term patchy. They ve been wrong about a lot too. It's like you said you have to be your own doctor and I think but people like me have been saying all along is just don't. Stop me from what I want to read I mean what censure what I want to know, because you obviously have not proved that use have a monopoly on medical,
information programme for the rest. I am living proof that I think no one. I think I've I've tried to argue sort of linking my own experience to the covert era that what you are looking for is a balance you once you ve had this kind of outside the box experience you dont want to take that to mean you know anything. Entry anthony's out, she says is false or you know I am I'm vaccinate. four covert, I think the vaccines generally work. I think the establishment has gotten a bunch of things core things right. But they ve also over promised things wrong, made terrible predictions reminisced themselves, and and after with you mentioned at the start of the show, what kind of a regime of theatre right well that too. But I just just in the last week, we ve learned things about alzheimer's and mass. vitamin d read in your paper
versus thought things we always thought were true? The alzheimer's was based on bed researching they believe for years, vitamin d, like we always title that help Build strong bones has nothing to do with it metabolism. Last year we found always thought that it slowed and age turns out. It doesn't again, you just don't know that might so don't sit there with white coat like just do. What I say is when we ever gotten it wrong and what don't we know you don't know anything now. You know why? Don't we don't? You know something somehow athletic not enough or what you know what you, what you should know is there is a huge difference between science as a process, right and science is a system of authority right. Don't scientific process is what you want to trust right. Don't give me thus science you don't know the words you will die? You give people the best. I mean I think one of the because failures of serve messaging in the pandemic has now
been people like south she trying to offer their best opinion at a given moment. It's been the failure to We have emphasised how provisional, that is to say you know we're three month into a totally unknown disease that, for all we know, came from a chinese laboratory and right years are here, is our best As you know, from rang my book, there is also a right lab bleak hypothesis for lime disease to well right and who knows, but certainly if possible, with covered, if not likely. But this we weren't allowed to say the right or be printed. That's that's not science, and there was six months where entertaining the hypothesis was considered, this information on twitter and then it and what it should be, which is frankly, a hypothesis that is possible. We will probably never know because the regime in china is going to ensure we never know right, but is something that we can be. You know
arguing about an interesting ways for a very long time to come. more by the way they found two weeks three weeks ago, a bacteria that is visible to the naked eye. They said it would be like discovering a human, the size of MT everest. but they were never aware of it before. I thought this was going. I was expecting some kind of argo job well bill now, an unjust and on the ground. It is on the chronic disease from one one of the diseases that is sort of similar to line disease in its some of its presentation and often gets mixed up with. It is a mass which probably some people in the audience have experience with about nine months or a year ago there was a study. That said basically we think em ass is caused by the Epstein bar virus. We something like forty percent of americans have been exposed to so we ve gone. Many fifty or sixty years of treating treating and that sometimes treating it effective
but only now are we figuring out that it is in In some way they don't understand yet linked to chronic infection. So there's all kinds of things like that happening below the surface. I think of abstain. In our analysis, one you pick up on the playground envy. I have many more people habit. The two people have the actual what the Epstein bar syndrome where they can get out of bed and that's like the virus in your body, if you're in ill health other Million other factors that they don't they look at one thing at a time which is just one. Do you know why this is so many different factors? We know we're this thing about this in a way, this kind of illnesses that you realise just how much here Is this kind of system exactly all kinds of things are alive at once and yes, come back the way you ve chicken pox You get shingles or it my own symptoms, I'm all
install better and then my kids come home from school with a flu, and I get some weird blind disease symptom back Because your body is in this kind of weird balancing act at all times, and that's just not how we're trained. No, Think about they want a specialist took a look at this one party or body and lime disease goes ha ha we're going to move all around so fuck. You specialists so. My final question is the body is unrealistic, so you're a religious person? Why did god do this? Do you you're a nice guy. He did it to bring me back to your telephone
I can see you good answer, I'm so glad you lost your next time. We will talk about other things are much greater than tears. Morgan, uncensored on fox nation, beers, morgan is she's agenda, the communists and the new post and caused the loss debate. Part guess ricky slot is on a show for the first time we have big things it's all about, but first I design something. It's so much personal, but also national knows a friend of my. Dear friend of mine. Good friend of this show got stab. today, salman rushdie. I'm sure people have seen this news. He was dead,
someone named hodge haughty matter, we don't know the motivation yet, but sound, have some enemies in the past. As I recall, some seeing how d is not amish. sally then chadwick why he was giving a lecture about this, for irony about how the? U s is a safe haven for exiled writers and other artists under threat of persecution and making speech itself is unthinkable and most muslim countries. Salman rushdie living in most muslim countries, without getting stabbed every day, is unthinkable. Come at me with islamic phobic. Big means. Fear right well sal had a good reason to be fearful.
And when you say phobic, it's just a way to shut off debate in other eu trans phobic islam before, And we should have a debate about this sorry, but you know things don't go away. Islam is still a much more. fundamentalist religion, then the other religions in the world, and that means they take. What's in the holy book seriously, has been dangerous for a long time. It still dangerous. This was nineteen, eighty nine when it was first threatened? They say we have a long memories. We got just got out. I want now Our hearing, we bragging about you can't get away from they have a long memory to so? What are your thoughts on that? well. I I want to destroy attention quote from salman rushdie. The defence of free speech begins at the point when people say something you can't stand, you often have to do
And people you find outrageous unpleasant and disgusting and that's the point. I think that people are forgotten in this debate about free, reach, which is it's not about the right of people, you agree with to say what they like, and then you not along its about the ability to listen to people whose opinions, you might say we disagree with. You might hate their opinions. You, my hate them you should be able to tolerate their right to have a different opinion. The point of view It's not even extend in many, countries around the world and not just muslim countries, but especially muslim countries. The idea freedom of speech is like what are you talking about. You insulted the profit But that's the way: america and britain and other countries that moving this and that's why it's so dangerous. You know what
written some great stuff. Ricky about was gonna campuses around it. I could have the same thing in Britain only last month, this survey came students in the uk eighty six percent, trigger warnings on anything they might. on the offensive. This is so far included, canterbury, tales and shakespeare. Thirty six percent want academics fired if they say, something that is hurtful or offensive while it may the madeira this bill came, it was actually in san diego of the road and it was a guy called up ethical j Angelo corbett, it was cancelled from doing should he done for twenty years and the lecture is about the usage of offensive language and, as part of the lecture, offensive language. They cancelled him, because students objected to him, use offensive language in a lecture specifically,
about the usage of offensive language is not it's not So when you say country, like america, the home of free speech, moving that way it is a very thin line between that and what but the salman rushdie Dave Chapelle attacked on stage in this city? I think wasn't it it's on stage for having an opinion for cracking jugs off Chris rock punched on stage the oscars for cracking a joke sit strays into violence. Then you end up with salman rushdie. Beings by a lunatic. stage a new one. I predated all that by quite a dead end and to your point about trigger warnings. I must say shakespeare: there are some dick junk the judge injection. Yeah and I'm a member of a generation that never really was taught the principles of free speech and what it means to be a classical liberal and who John Stuart mill is and and why that such a a a precious thing,
to our society any no growing up in an going us, like an. Why? U and seeing that on. The back of my idea, hard we have here is the amount can see hotline and hears who to call? If your second, then here's the biased report hotline. If your offended were the biased report, hotline and then there's a phone number on the back and we re doing our older. It's called the biased report hotline s glorious round. The back of our idea wish and my usual outlaws. It's a hotline in case you are offended in your feelings, are poked in prodded and unfortunately answers, but I ain't never called it when it was layers. Imagine someone at the university it's on the sunday university carton, though I do work. You know: instigate. Why you're offended something fascinated by this? Not so yeah, and you know the logical conclusion to these young people, who believe that words are violence in what you say in classrooms makes me unsafe. I don't mean to sound hyperbolic, but the
The conclusion is that you fight words that offend you with violence because of words or violence, and this is an acceptable report where we live your generation It's generally thought of as a youthful, I'm so glad, because we don't often get some in twenty two years old on our show. So we have an eye witness this saturday. I don't understand. I mean, first of all, what what? Why are the anxiety? Where does that? Where does the root that? Why are they so anxious whenever I walk outside. All I see there They people wearing mass outside of your age, and I just right around time with a bull horn. Go you stupid.
Fuck you, twenty two you're, not gonna, get it anyway. You couldn't get it outside, drawing its What what we're? Where did? What is the root of the anxiety? I mean rebecca, well generation or our parents were like wiping us down and not letting us get germs on our face when we were toddlers and it's continued with all of our teachers saying you know if your feelings are hurt like let's talk it through, Like you, don't you dont need to resolve conflicts on your own and if your anxious- and nearly all this way, that's always valid. There is never a transfer for personal growth for fur learning from stakes in fumbling and falling? We ve weeping cobbled and I think, that's kind of the logical conclusion. Now we're all very anxious, because Israel will receive integration. That is a celebration of victim who, again in today's society, were young people are led to believe that the more they play the victim
the more so the celebrated they are social media in it's like. I fail my driving test for the fifth time, I'm so proud of So I was talking about sustainable to drinking, says five times. Europe loser better, so some time mentality where the moon You can play the victim. The more the group around you guys, you're, so finals asked it you're, a winner Isaak, driving better instructor right right, ok, so you write your nodded and why you, but you were- I live, let's start within, why you know that york city, obviously a minute one of those elite coastal campuses. How many do now can Guess how many of the college's america are kind of like that that the thing with the biased
He gets a very small percentage but think that come out of these schools have changed influence on society and then we will end up in court. Boardrooms crying to each are in and changing the corporate setting, or you know we end up the world leaders in changing the was to make us feel better to make hate speech or certain certain words, illegal or offensive just on that basis, I think you know, even though it's a very small group of kids that are coming out of these elite institutions, it's really shifting society in a very serious way, you're dead right on that so you left and why you, because you couldn't take this kind of stuff. I couldn't take this kind of stuff and I also realise that our society just makes it seem as others one path to success. But you know you don't need the fancy for your degree in the sale of approval, every. You don't need college,
position, the demographics have a position which is that the more education you get always the better, the more time spent in a classroom looking in a blackboard, the better The position of bishop has always been let's my college free, let's make it unnecessary because it really is unnecessary for most jobs. You do, but I want it would you like your adorn? I was very young. Ok who cleans the norm. The agenda. We are now there's no maids no it's not it's not that bad, no, no
fragile is hoping to get the money. I'm sure light is a lot that the kids were at school, complaining about privilege and then them some cleaning the bathrooms I may ass. Well, maybe they can you know about it, so much area like an apartment styles of his new york. It might have indifferent boats and warriors so. Are you gonna go back to college? I you know the jury star on that. But, for the time being you know there's something too actually going out and doing the work that you want to do it. turning on the job, and you know for now I dont need that salmon prove all I'm I'm having more fun. Paving my own path in and doing my own thing was already on the show what it s all up to now. This withdraw it. I'm getting a message. I don't even have a new european mobile. Giving them is that these
contents of the I have to say before we comes out here- that's boxes, that's what they found today and they found a lot we're going to talk about that. But then there was contents of the safe, no one knows what's in the safe, but we if somehow this guy's, the real timer that can we bring out the contact. Thank you. Thank you for your service, the serious guy wow we're opening this together. I never see this is what was in the firm said. Don't ask me how we got this, but we did. Oh, my god. This is so exciting, oh look at this, the peter that's my visit
the germans when it all look at this one. Is this the receipt for millennia of terms That's terrific up from the republic of
and the oh, my god he's wicked this an envelope that says don't lose combination to save, put in safe, the deed to Rudy giuliani, sold the oh, it's the penis pump that says trump penis, the oh and a family photograph. This must have been pressures, images, mom and dad the let's talk about that. Now they rated MAR a lago this week and I guess the big question is this: is it going to be AL capone's, vault
It's not really. What was in the safe was what was in the boxes which they took away and we're getting we're learning more about which, in their itself, to me, look I'll I'll Add them look into this today. How many things are reported as classified as is classified information. He deaf, they shouldn't have had none of what it was, but They classify million, thinks there's one point: three million people who are to look at top secret. So but then there's actual topsecret stop. It sounds like some of this stuff he had in there. What is your guess as to how serious this is gonna? It is going to justify this raid, or is this: the political night, while the the at the moment they sort of the suggestion is, is not really about the classification so much as the specifics of, for example, violating potentially the espionage right, if that is what turns out to be the That is clearly serious, but as always with everything to do with travel. There is-
you didn't see from those you dont like him and which has a large number two my grandma, at least in his audiences, is back to what my grandmother would call override the souffle, and that can be a problem because it can play into his hands. So I think you take swing this big. You do an unprecedented. You you're going raid mar a with over thirty fbi. You ve got a land land, a big punch in terms evidence but actually nails? It is unprecedented because he's unpressed road to peace, an unprecedented bill he's my point. The day after the election, twenty sixty I went to the mix ask him amen, l, a lakers fan to get to the increasing. Oh, no, I didn't think about basketball. The lakers were the lakers and tones, and chris rock was at the next table in this larry restaurant room thinking about the election results and peace?
It's a lot of interesting things about it, but the one that really stuck with me. He said you know that problem was they are demonized him. He said if someone's killed, nine people, you don't to go around constantly saying he's killed ten. I was a really smart observation because there's always a tendency would trump too, what do the sledge hammer and then, when it doesn't why deliver? What you scream is delivering can be uses it to play the victim, the martyr it feels him in housing and that she's since the idea of this will be a really interesting red set of regulations that come out from here, because I think you have the the group of trump supporters who, no matter what comes out of these documents, he's a guy under siege by the f b I, but then you have a huge swath of more conservative people in this country who were ambivalent, voters and I think they can flip one way or another on the basis of this, but based on the preliminary reports there, Nicky uller codes and
often there are regular, not college, no nuclear, but somebody really with nuclear during the british nuclear mean here's. What was a federal judge? Ok our cause because it could have involved espionage obstruction of investigation and just an alteration or falsification of records involving bankruptcy? G that doesn't sound like I know, there's no one on the right. has so far said. Well, it's a big nothing because you know, when is the ever done anything wrong? It's not that it's their planting evidence not it couldn't Of course they know this is what he does. Why did he take it? To begin with, I dont the kiva knew what was in those boxes or cared. I just think was like the boy, but also I put him in those I get to take. My gloves gave a new
It was a way. This thing is, is that there was a subpoena together. This saddam or a lager and they handed over, think fifteen boxes of stuff, but they all this back in the look! It comes down to what is in these these boxes they seized. If it turns to be the real deal. If it turns out that donald trump as violet the espionage is a serious crime, but if any should be held to account for bill, if he doesn't, if it doesn't turn out to be that there are legitimate questions, I think from the trump supporters about different standards applied to donald trump as have been applied. it's a to jail, call me to hunt abiden and the others, and that is the problem with when you take a massive sledgehammer like this unprecedented such em, you ve got to live if anybody else, if the president really is not above the law of anybody else, walked out of the white house. With that amount of classified information even if it wasn't that top top top levels, dove they'd, be in jail. Ok Let me fine so well.
Certainly wouldn't be, let go it wouldn't be a cause. Celeb I mean problem here for me and again, I think they had to do this because look. I gotta think that christopher ray the head of the fbi, proper appointed out. There is a solid guy, merit, garland mean sure, he's got a few access to grind But I think this is very serious guy. I just don't think those two people would have signed off on this. If there wasn't reason to do I don't think they wanted to do it, because, because this is like this like from, he did so his soul to the double, because he is the luck, this man in the world, his fortune was finally falling.
The big lie with finally losing momentum. Descent. This was beating him in the polls. You know hates this more, nobody descends to said. I had this in the bag, and now I gotta run against president martyr. And- and this is saving trump politically, because now, of course, all the republicans maybe what of course, Joe Biden would secretly light he might want to face off against trump again you have. I you might think. I don't guess behind it is our yours. I also believe that they will run with that one. But if you're Joe Biden, would you rather face donald trump, who has all the baggage the general six investigation, radio number of legal actions. All this now will you know last time you got a record number of votes of the presidential candidate ever. Would you rather face him again or would you the face a much younger, more dynamic dissenters. Not the baggage. So in a way you could see
Although it looks in the short term light this might play out at the agency for trump politically, if he doesn't get nailed by what's goin on here actually could working Joe Biden's favor in two thousand twenty four, the we're assuming Joe Biden is going to be the nominee, and I wouldn't advise him after the week exists that I'd quit right now, leaving the dispirited sigh. Can you expand on that sigh? I would say you know. My generation is one of the up and coming voter boxes. had the moors precipitous drop in approval ratings for buying symbolic twenty percent. Since he's gotten into office, we were, we were abolished because we came out of The trump year is in those where our kind of formative years, our teenagers, but we have this, hasn't, really delivered and he's older than most of our grandparents. Where ways? That's not, why should that matter? That's not an argument that prejudice.
best known and argue that the argument is that he wasn't doing his job. What about as to whether what about this village of activities happen. What ok, he just mean dark. I thought your generation cared or pretended to care about. The invite not you they they out about the environment,. He just signed the biggest climate bill ever. Finally, we're doing something about climate. Now we don't well? They say this is you know going to get us back to twenty five levels are reduced. What we were putting out and twenty five by twenty thirty I dunno they've thrown around these numbers forever, but right which we were by the way they should then eighties rural already and die its least something it's the biggest move ever mayor. Isn't that's why don't we follow the facts to the new generation. Look at that and go oh. Finally, somebody got something done. I think, unfortunately, politics, our also just very much like with my generation, the objects of this presidency haven't been
irish, vulnerable bathing, allowing us to book a guy. I mean I I must enable the island. I don't love this morning and we are now building a familiarity, though I know, there's gonna be some senior moment, not just through understood a sharp without plans under the very for a generation of young people who have just grown up and partisan how escape for as long as we can really remember politically a career politician, someone who's older and in that world is maybe not, but that's why you got this giant then, but that's why he finally got something. What did you know? She was an older piloting. It just is counted about what he ran for president member. He was dead in the water and then he was denominate and then he couldn't be trump, and then he be trump. I couldn't get anything done and he was the worst thing ever and now we've killed Al Zawahiri and inflation is back down and he got the climate bill passed and people are working and he you know he he he
we think the small play actually is. Furthermore, endowed wrote this last week the smart play for by I think he should run again in twenty two for the benefit of the Democrats. What he should do is right. This way, these on mass and say now, actually, I'm not going to run again find a young dynamic person epidemic Perhaps he could get behind and then they got a good chance. I think, but if it is Biden, that the the sharers let's yet rides into town. I saved the town, and now Please correct, and I'm right now you are so poor- goes- are he's crazy republican congressmen, arizona, he says what was literally a quote must destroy the fbi, the sum
the republican party that the same thing with the capital right ungenerous six like wait, a second, the police and the bad guys and the writers of the good. Well. How do you go from wanting to scream abuse? Anyone who says defined the police to then saying defined the fbi who orally police officers. to me there's a double standard there anyway, I dunno so disheartening. Seeing people just jump to the conclusions in the worst possible extrapolation from a developing story, and even journalists and people in the media who who just use this developing story to kind of fit their preconceptions about trump and and potentially criticising the f b, I mean it was really disheartening in a good mood about security people today, I have to say salman rushdie, it's there then it was got going on for, like twenty seconds predict anybody go to. How can you know it's like so many people in this country are cops, are ex cops? Are so many people have security written on the poorer countries are so little security? You know I mean I've been trying to
supportive about the police. After the point Twenty because, like they all got tarred like they're all dead, chauvin and that's not fair. They certainly are not all that not even close but come on after parkland you ve already in the lost biggest shooter, and this thing it's starting to look like you know you guys. One little extra leeway did not least do your fucking job security and you're out there, and you can hear me we hope you get better, and I know you are right neutral. Someone has to tell this woman that she'd have a lot more success on tender and for a profile didn't say I have the world's biggest boys neural, and this one is for the kids this summer. When you go to the swimming pool, you don't have to
scream the whole time the I can never tell if they're having fun or being chased by a scary, clown the screaming screaming screaming kids. Today, doesn't anyone just stare, silently at their phone anymore, the seminars to tell the makers of hot dog rounds. We big slams of hot dog, made process to fit on your hamburger bond.
Not everything has to be non binary and don't tell me that's not what's going on here, I mean come on it's a frank, identifying as a patty neural the f b. I must tell us if they were able to guess the combination to drum safe on the first dry. come on. It's
uncas measurements? I may neural the interior of the new mercedes s class has to look less like a strip club. I two extra one of these things. I didn't know where there were just the marriage or start stuffing singles in the seat belt. The windshield those three settings defies belief, roster and make it rain, and the radio only plays deaf, leopard and nellie and finally, neural casting directors have to stop listening to the casting police and go doing their job, which is picking the best actor for the role,
now I mention this, because a lot of people lately are either apologizing for or calling on others to apologize for playing roles. They call appropriation. James franco was gesture. The play fidel castro and john language imo posted no more web boycott is fucked up. I've got a problem with franco, but he ain't latino. Ok, but John leguizamo is colombian american. He ain't a venetian, but he played one a french little person, or an italian plumber. Buddy played them too because he's because these an actor. Why the hell? Do you think people become actors because they want
spend their life not being who they are appropriating sounds like an unforgivable said until you remember that's what acting is. That's, why acting jobs are called roles: sean, and one an oscar for playing gay civil rights, martyr, harvey milk at the time, was considered a courageous act of solidarity for a straight move, male movie star to play a homo actual. Now it's the opposite. Eddie redmain played a tree. gender woman in the danish girl, but now calls that a mistake, because many people don't have a chair at the table. Well, actually and movies. Now they do and what does it have to do with you playing trans, That's it then work. The other way. Can trans actors only play trans characters cause? That's not going to be a good deal for them.
and isn't the best acting always about making us feel our common humanity beyond separate identities. Above george, washington and Hamilton, of course, but right gosling as frederick douglass. Yes, that would be a problem the did I shall above a buffet shaft. They know the, why don't we just go by marriage and let the best actor win which see like what happened when de Armas just got picked to play. Marilyn Monroe, even though she's cuban, with an accent eight, maybe
she should play fidel castro, and James franco can play marilyn monroe and then we can. Then we could all stay in our elaine's is that what diversity and inclusion look like now everybody's staying in their lane Laurent of Arabia was gay, peter o toole wasn't. I can live with that because he was so cool He almost made me gay. The emma stone caught Hell for playing a hawaiian, Jake, german, all replaying, persian gal godot for wanting to play cleopatra Johnny depp for playing an indian, even though he's not an act
command comanche and spoiler alert. He also doesn't really have scissor ends and he's not actually a drunken pirate, ok bags Tom hanks now says that if philadelphia were made today, he wouldn't do it, because the character was gay and he's not. Well, besides, the fact that this would force all gay actors to reveal their sexuality, even if they didn't want to great act, which tom is one try hard to keep their private lives. private, so we don't think of their real lives when we see them in a movie that attempts to transport us into a different world. Could you really look at this actress now. And not think of the trial.
would. She only play bed shutters now, the what's Daniel day, Lewis really like, I haven't a clue, which is why he's so great because when he plays lincoln, I only see lincoln, I dont think well, there's british heterosexual, but thanks as I don't think people would accept the inauthenticity of a straight guy playing a gay guy because what we're beyond that now: don't started, unbosom buddies, the does forest gump get thrown under the bus. Two biggest tom isn't really mentally challenged. and as far as we are beyond that, no no better.
As progress. This is the opposite. This is regression. and it is frankly typical of someone's weakness that doesn't build on liberalism. It undoes it empathy putting yourself in someone else's place, so you can understand them better to be the very heart of liberalism,. how it's considered offensive, because don't we try to put yourself in my shoes? Could you could never know what a bunch of bullshit that always was, of course no one can ever know exactly what another person struggle is, but we try. black like me was a nineteen fifties book about a white man who darkened his skin and went out into society because he wanted to understand what his black brothers and sisters were up against today. All the woke mob would see about that was a guy who did black face.
Steven Spielberg, originally remade westside story and bent over backwards to respect ethnicities and ended up pleasing nobody, and it's too because the original musical was created by stephen sondheim, arthur Lorenz and leonard Bernstein threeg. the Jews then, if you can't trust gay jews to write about hot blooded puerto rican teenagers, who can you trust the next thing you're going to tell me street gangs, don't even dance and now they're, making a movie about leonard Bernstein and Bradlee. Cooper is playing it. I mean If we can get through the picket lines, you see, like actual brosnahan playing. maize, Nolan, Helen Marin, playing israeli prime minister golden my ear. Brow. italy is sadly a gentile and
that's the new sin in hollywood being a non jewish actor portraying a jew, because, that's always, the problem in hollywood, not enough jews the world even have a word for this troubling new phenomenon. Jus face.
Do you see what I mean about them having their head up their ass? Really, the word you're using to fight anti semitism is jus face.
