Up next, how woud for Gianno

0:02

called well part of the gig which as

0:05

Democrats continue to embrace an increasingly

0:08

radical agenda. There's only one

0:10

man, I said, only one

0:12

man who can save the left from itself. But

0:14

whether liberals heat his warnings or continue

0:17

their descent and too woke madness

0:19

remains an open question. This

0:21

is Outlive with Gianno Caldwell. Welcome

0:34

back to Outow with Gianno called Blow. I've got

0:36

an amazing show for you guys this week that's

0:38

a little different than usual. I'm

0:40

going to SELLO this episode because I really want

0:43

to focus on someone who have concluded

0:45

is the only person who can save the left from

0:48

completely and perhaps

0:50

irreversibly going off

0:52

the rails into wokeness and progressiveness.

0:55

But before I tell you who it is, I

0:57

want to play for you a clip of

1:00

earlier this month pointing liberals

1:02

to something they need to be made more

1:04

aware of. They have a bad case

1:07

of progressive phobia. That's

1:09

the phrase coined by Stephen Pinker to describe

1:11

a brain disorder that strikes liberals and

1:13

makes them incapable of recognizing

1:16

progress. It's

1:18

like situational blindness, only what you

1:21

can't see is that your dorm in is

1:23

better than the South before the Civil War. If

1:32

you think America is more racist now

1:34

than ever, more sexist than before women

1:36

could vote in, more homophobic than when blow

1:38

jobs were a felony, you

1:40

have progressive phobia and should

1:42

adjust your mask because it's covering your

1:44

eyes. I'm sure some of you recognize

1:47

that voice, and you're like, that

1:49

cannot be who I think it is. It

1:53

actually is. That was

1:55

none other than liberal comedian, I

1:58

said, liberal comedian Bill

2:00

maher given a monologue on this HBO

2:02

talk show. You know, it's

2:04

It's interesting to me because I've been watching

2:07

Bill Maherr fairly closely these

2:09

last several months, and I happen to find

2:11

myself agreeing with the number of things

2:13

that he's been saying. Now, that doesn't

2:16

mean I agree with everything that he

2:18

says, because I think he's still wrong on a number

2:20

of issues. But what

2:22

I can appreciate it's

2:24

his consistency and willingness to call

2:27

out his side when he believes

2:29

they're going in the wrong direction. Now,

2:31

I'll tell you I had an opportunity to

2:33

meet Bill maher I was

2:36

actually called by someone

2:38

that you all may know, some of you may love

2:41

some of you may not love her, but and Colter

2:43

called me up one day while I was in l A at

2:45

my home and she said, hey, Bill

2:47

says that he's available for dinner

2:50

on Friday at the Polo Lounge. And

2:52

I immediately said Bill who, And

2:55

she said, Bill Maher, he can

2:57

come have dinner with us after

3:00

for his show. So, man,

3:02

that's interesting. You know, obviously seen Bill

3:04

Maher on television. I'm interested

3:06

in his point of view, and I was more so looking

3:09

forward to a robust conversation, a debate,

3:12

if you will, the talk of politics,

3:14

culture, and see where he's coming from beyond the

3:16

TV screen, because some people are totally

3:18

different than they are on television.

3:21

And I found Bill Maher to

3:24

be a very reasonable guy on a number

3:26

of issues. So I was kind of surprised

3:28

by that, especially considering how

3:30

polarizing he's seemed

3:32

to be. And he sometimes makes them really

3:35

uh, I mean to

3:37

put it lightly, some wrong predictions

3:40

on things. He talked about Russia Gate as an example

3:42

of something that Trump he colluded with Russia

3:45

and later admitted that it was

3:47

wrong. He called it erroneous

3:49

reporting. So he's made some statements

3:52

He's talked about faith in a negative way, and we're talking

3:54

about uh, anybody believing

3:56

because he's an atheist. But then on

3:58

some of these political issues I find

4:00

him to be in some cases

4:02

correct. You know. It's

4:04

it's interesting that he talked about the progressive

4:06

phobia. He talked about, you know, talking

4:09

about race and how people feel as

4:11

though we've not made any progress

4:13

to a more perfect union, which I think that is a

4:15

lie. The notion in America has made

4:18

no progress towards a more perfect union is

4:20

absurd. It's a false narrative. And

4:23

just to just to give you a little bit of a fact

4:25

right here, according to Pew Research

4:28

Center, of all US newlyweds

4:31

had a spouse of a different race or ethnicity,

4:35

compared to just three in

4:37

n seven. You

4:39

can talk about the fact that being

4:42

accused of racism as

4:44

a social death sentence these days,

4:47

or rather, I mean that, let's be clear, maybe

4:49

being accused of racism on the right as

4:51

a as a death sentence, because people like Senator

4:54

white House, who we recently

4:56

discovered belongs to a whites only

4:58

club, is what the report things said.

5:01

He belongs to a white only club, And

5:04

it's been reported and I've not seen any

5:06

condemnation from the Democratic Party. I've

5:08

not seen anything from the White House. You

5:10

talk about Hunter Biden, I mean he's

5:12

been accused of racism, and rightfully, so you

5:14

see him and I've talked about it on this episode,

5:16

on an episode of this podcast before. If you haven't listened

5:19

to it about Hunter Biden, take a listen.

5:22

He in word in word in word, Hennessy

5:24

rates in words is what is what he told his attorney.

5:27

He used the actual in word over text message.

5:29

It has been reported, no condemnation

5:32

from the Democratic Party, no statement from

5:34

the White House. Meanwhile, Hunter

5:36

Biden himself now has the

5:38

ability to sell art pieces for fifty

5:41

thousand or hundreds of thousands of dollars

5:44

since that incident has occurred. If

5:46

it was a Republican I don't have to tell you what what

5:49

it would be at this point. I think you already

5:51

know that. We got a very bunch

5:53

of very smart people listening to me right now, so you

5:55

understand that. But it's not even about

5:57

that your side or my side

6:00

per se. It's not about that in the

6:02

sense that right should be right and wrong

6:04

should be wrong. And that's why

6:06

I can appreciate the sentiment from

6:09

Bill Maher. We got a black

6:11

vice president, y'all, we had a

6:13

former president that was African

6:15

American. A number

6:18

of counties supported Barack Obama.

6:21

A lot of people were inspired by Barack

6:23

Obama. Even Republicans have

6:25

admitted that we have made

6:27

tremendous progress in this country. That doesn't

6:30

mean we're done. I think there's some

6:32

issues that need to be taken care of

6:34

them. Talking about police reform, I think that's an issue,

6:36

and we just found out that Tim Scott has

6:38

come to a deal with some Democrats for bipartisan

6:41

framework for police reform. So we're

6:43

not done, by no measure. But

6:45

to say that things are

6:48

so bad and they're so just

6:50

out of control, it's

6:53

a lie. And I think we need to just

6:56

admit that to ourselves. We made a lot of progress.

6:58

There's more work to be done, but we made a

7:00

lot of progress. You

7:02

know. I think two

7:04

reasons why the Democratic Party

7:07

will continue to push this the notion

7:10

that things are so bad, and

7:13

I think it's it's important for us all

7:15

to understand the why of it. I

7:18

think back when I was growing up and

7:20

I was on the South side of Chicago, and we

7:22

would see the politicians that would come into our neighborhoods

7:25

on a pretty

7:27

uh, inconsistent basis. So

7:29

when I say that, I'm talking about the only time you really saw

7:32

them was around election time. And

7:34

they make all these promises. They would make all these

7:36

promises, how they're gonna fix this, fix that, do

7:39

this, just give them a chance to reelect them,

7:41

whatever the case, and you look

7:43

around, nothing gets done. You

7:45

don't see him again into the

7:48

next election. And with people they

7:50

go at them. And I'm talking about the

7:52

constituents in the neighborhood who challenged

7:55

them and say, well, you said this was gonna happen,

7:57

and it didn't happen. What would they do.

8:00

They would blame racism on

8:02

their own party. Mind

8:04

you. They would say

8:07

the politicians, which were the senior

8:09

Democrats, uh, were

8:12

white that were in the areas

8:14

of downtown in the North Side, which is in

8:17

areas where you mostly see white residents

8:19

or constituents. They would say, they're

8:21

giving them all the resources. They

8:24

don't care about us. They're racist

8:26

people, these white politicians.

8:28

And then you look and you say, man, y'all belong

8:30

to the same party. You're comfortable being in the party

8:33

with these racist people who seemingly

8:36

don't keep their promises

8:38

and are withholding resources from your community.

8:41

Yeah, that's what they would say.

8:44

And you know what the truth of the matter is,

8:46

especially on the national level, they

8:49

keep the lie going and I can call it the

8:51

big lie if you will, because

8:54

they want to lock in a permanent base of voters.

8:56

They're called African Americans, who

8:59

they know are people who

9:01

care a lot about racism because we've

9:03

experienced these policies of racism. We've

9:05

experienced what the Democrats done in terms of Jim

9:08

Crow. We've seen that, we've seen slavery, we've

9:10

seen even Uh died

9:12

Frank Uh. Something passed under the

9:14

Obama administration which really

9:18

put the same standards

9:20

of these major banks like JP Morgan Chase

9:22

Bank of America on small community

9:24

banks that were black owned, random out of business

9:26

they couldn't afford to keep up. So now

9:28

we have less black banks. We're talking about banks

9:30

in which African Americans who

9:33

may not have had the best credit profile, they

9:35

might not have had it, those banks

9:38

were more willing to lend than the JP

9:40

Morgan shakes in the Banks of America. They

9:42

were much more willing. This is what democratic policies,

9:44

policies have done to the African American community,

9:47

and they keep up the narrative of racism,

9:49

which does exist. I'm not saying that it doesn't exist,

9:52

so I don't want anybody to misunderstand

9:54

me here. It does exist, but they need

9:56

to get things set straight in their

9:58

own house before they

10:00

do anything. But it's not just the politicians.

10:03

Mara even goes after fellow comedian

10:06

Kevin Hart, who is arguably the

10:08

biggest star in the business. There is a

10:10

recurrent theme on the far left that things

10:13

have never been worse. Kevin

10:15

Hard expressed a view many hold when he told

10:17

The New York Times, You're witnessing white

10:20

power and white privilege at an all

10:22

time high.

10:24

This is one of the big problems with wokeness,

10:27

that what you say doesn't have to make sense

10:30

or jibe with the facts. Wherever be challenged,

10:33

lest the challenge itself be conflated

10:35

with racism. But saying white power

10:38

and privilege is at an all time high,

10:40

it's just ridiculous. Higher

10:43

than a century ago, the year of the Tulsa

10:45

race massacre, higher than the

10:47

years when the KKK rode unchecked

10:50

and Jim Crow went unchallenged, higher

10:53

than the nineteen sixties when the Supremes

10:55

and Willie Mays still couldn't stay in

10:57

the same hotel as the white people they were working

10:59

with higher than during slavery,

11:02

and I mean actual slavery, not Prince doesn't

11:04

like his record contract slavery.

11:13

Racism is still, unfortunately still

11:15

with us. We have the footage in

11:18

policing, housing, job discrimination,

11:21

segregated schools, wealth inequality.

11:24

The legacy of injustice sadly

11:26

lives on and demands remedial action.

11:29

I understand as best I can how

11:32

racism sends a person's

11:34

soul so much that they might

11:36

see it everywhere, but seeing

11:38

clearly is necessary for actually fixing

11:40

problems. And clearly racism

11:43

is simply no longer everywhere. It's

11:45

not in my home, and it probably isn't

11:48

in yours, if I read

11:50

my audience right, and I think I do. For

11:53

most of the country, the most unhipped

11:55

thing you could ever be today is

11:57

a racist. Even Derek shaw

12:00

And was not backed up by his fellow

12:02

officers, and that never used

12:04

to happen. The low point

12:06

of race relations wasn't Kim Kardashian

12:08

wearing corn rows, even

12:11

though it happened on Snapchat, and George

12:13

Wallace standing in the doorway didn't. Because

12:16

here's the thing, kids, there

12:18

actually was a world before you got

12:20

here. Again, I'm pretty sure you're scratching

12:22

your head saying Bill Maher

12:25

said that. Yes,

12:27

folks, Bill Maher said that, I'm

12:29

sure a lot of you are shocked. And I'm gonna be honest,

12:32

I've been shocked. I've been watching on a

12:34

weekly basis. I've been seeing some

12:36

of the things that you've been saying. I

12:38

mean, attacking a

12:41

fellow comedian, uh,

12:43

someone who you know, arguably

12:46

is the most successful comedian in the business.

12:48

Kevin Hard is everywhere, and it's so shocking.

12:51

With as much success

12:53

as um, Kevin Hard is game

12:56

for him to say that white supremacy is

12:58

at all time high. Now,

13:00

this isn't a defense of white supremacists, because

13:02

they exist. I want to be clear about that.

13:05

But you and I damn well know

13:08

that that cannot be true. Bro,

13:10

You're in every movie. This

13:13

guy is in every movie he's directing,

13:16

he's producing, They're throwing

13:18

money at him. If white supremacy was supremacy,

13:21

was it all time high? You could not be in a position

13:23

to even make that comment with it actually

13:25

getting a response. Come

13:28

on, Kevin Hart, Come

13:30

on, bro, do better.

13:33

Don't jump on the woke bagwagon's because

13:35

it seems to be a lot of media light there.

13:38

Let's speak truth. We can

13:40

be consistent and our values.

13:42

We can tell the truth because there's enough messed

13:44

up stuff going on out here that you can be honest

13:47

and consistent and you can say, man,

13:49

you know things, uh may not be

13:52

exactly how I would want to see him. I

13:54

think there's a lot of progress to be made, but certainly

13:56

there's been a lot of progress. Had Remember

13:59

Jada Pickett Smith when she said Hollywood all

14:01

white. I don't know if y'all remember that. Jada

14:03

Pickett Smith, her husband is Will Smith.

14:05

She said, you know, everybody who's winning an award

14:08

is all white. Hollywood is all white.

14:10

Where's the black actress

14:12

and the actors? And and this thing

14:15

really really moved. It became

14:17

a trending topic, I think on Twitter, but

14:19

certainly on social media. Everyone was talking about

14:21

it. It was all a buzz. Now you see

14:24

these awards show. You see all these black actors

14:26

that are winning awards, directors, producers,

14:28

etcetera, etcetera. And Kevin Hard

14:31

is one of those people. So how could you say

14:33

white supremacy is at an all time high. What

14:35

sense does that make? This is

14:37

where we are now in our country.

14:40

Whatever makes it's

14:42

gonna make the most noise, gets the most attention.

14:44

Saying white supremacy is at an all time high

14:47

gets the most attention. It's gonna get the most

14:49

headlines. That's what people are

14:51

doing these days. Is not based in truth.

14:54

It's not factual, and the left needs

14:56

to hear bier Mar's message. They need to

14:58

hear it. Now. This wasn't

15:00

Bill Maher's first time attacking his own side.

15:03

Back in April, he sounded

15:05

an awful lot like a conservative while discussing

15:08

COVID, the media and

15:10

the less irrational alarmist approach

15:12

to the pandemic. Don't spend me

15:14

when it comes to my health. Over

15:17

the past year, the COVID pandemic has prompted

15:20

the medical establishment, the media, and

15:22

the government to take a scared

15:24

straight approach to getting

15:26

the public to comply with their recommendations.

15:29

Well, I'm from a different school, giving

15:31

me straight, doc because

15:34

in the long run, that always works better than

15:36

you can't handle the truth. Um

15:46

now, I get it. Doctors

15:48

tell people lies because they don't

15:50

trust you to finish the antibiotics after

15:53

your dick starts feeling better. And

15:57

media, well, I think we all know if it

15:59

bleeds, it leads. The more they can, the

16:01

more they can get you to stay inside and watch

16:04

their panic porn, the higher the ratings.

16:07

Researchers at Dartmouth built a database

16:09

recently monitoring the COVID coverage of

16:11

the major news outlets across the world

16:13

and found that while other countries mixed the

16:15

good news in with the bad, the

16:17

US national media reported almost

16:20

bad news, and even as things

16:22

were getting better, the reporting remained negative.

16:26

Trust and traditional media has declined

16:28

to an all time low, and many

16:30

news professionals are determined

16:32

to do something about it. Right They're

16:34

not.

16:38

They're really not. Now, I'll tell you

16:40

by the numbers. For the first time ever, fewer

16:43

than half of all Americans um

16:45

have trust and traditional

16:48

media. According to some data that came

16:50

out of

16:52

Americans agree with the statement of journalists

16:55

and reporters are

16:58

purposely trying to miss lead

17:00

people by saying things they know are foss

17:03

or gross exaggerations. Fifty

17:06

six percent of Americans I

17:08

didn't say, fifty six percent of Republicans

17:11

I said, fifty six percent of

17:13

Americans believe the

17:15

journalists and reporters are lying

17:18

to us. This

17:20

was in January. This

17:23

came out and Axios. This wasn't

17:25

in a right wing blog. This came

17:27

out in Axios. Fifty

17:30

eight percent of Americans

17:32

think that most news organizations

17:34

are more concerned with supporting an ideology

17:36

or political position than with

17:39

informing the public. Fifty

17:42

eight percent feel this way.

17:44

Now, if you don't believe there's been media amount

17:46

practice when it comes to COVID and

17:49

just about any other issue, let's

17:51

go back to Hunter Biden in an N word. If

17:53

it were someone else, Now, let's let's

17:55

not even say if it was Don Junior, Donald

17:58

Trump Junior, or a Republican forget, I

18:00

don't even don't even think about that. Let's let's

18:02

not even talk about the political parties

18:05

and how it would have impacted them.

18:08

If it was a sixteen year old girl. New

18:11

New York Times I believe it was. The New York Times did

18:13

a piece on the sixteen year old who used the INN word

18:16

profusely, and they reported

18:18

on her and she lost all kind of uh

18:20

college opportunities. You can

18:22

mention anybody, just a regular person, be

18:25

the manager at Hooters now

18:28

I did use the word Hooters. I actually enjoyed

18:30

their chicken wings. I had something yesterday. I usually

18:32

get the chicken wings, curly fries, barbecue sauce

18:35

hot on the side, and bread it. So I I

18:37

enjoyed the food the

18:39

food. Let's

18:41

let's just imagine if it was Hooters for a second.

18:44

If the manager of Hooters sent text

18:47

messages like Hunter Biden and

18:49

someone saw that, it would

18:51

have one likely made the local

18:54

news to probably became a national

18:56

story. Three he would have been fired

18:58

the same day, and everyone will

19:00

be talking about how bad racism is in America.

19:03

The President of the United States,

19:05

his son, Hunter Biden, did the

19:08

N words at the N word profusely, unchecked,

19:11

no condemnation, so

19:13

no media holding him to account.

19:16

I mean, there were some outlets that reported in Fox

19:18

News reported it, um. I think the Hell

19:20

might have did something on it. There was a

19:22

New York Post did something on it. I know that for

19:24

sure. There were some outlets, but we're talking

19:26

about the range of New York New York

19:28

Times. I didn't see anything, and it's still to this

19:30

day, haven't seen anything about it. Not

19:33

seeing anything in the Washington Post, not seeing

19:35

anything in these major publications that

19:37

oftentimes talk about these issues.

19:40

It's media malpractice at all time

19:42

high. And we see people

19:44

do not trust the media anymore, and

19:47

for good reason, and for absolute

19:49

good reason. Now there's some good news

19:51

organizations out there. There are some great journalists

19:54

out there there do their job without

19:56

fear of favor to any political

19:58

party. They just do their job,

20:00

and we respect those folks, and our

20:02

hats goals off to them.

20:04

But I'll tell you there needs to be

20:06

more of this truth telling. And I'm liking what Bill

20:09

Martins saying. Let's roll that next clip. And politicians

20:12

they lie because it's their nature to cover

20:15

their ass they don't get blamed if things goes

20:17

badly, and also to keep in practice.

20:25

But when all of

20:27

our sources for medical information

20:30

have an agenda to spin us, yeah,

20:34

you wind up with a badly misinformed

20:36

population, including on the left. Liberals

20:39

often mocked the Republican misinformation

20:42

bubble, which of course is very real.

20:44

Ask anyone who works at Hillary's pizza

20:46

parlor. And

20:50

we do know conservatives have some loopy

20:52

ideas about COVID, like the third

20:54

of Republicans who believe it couldn't be spread

20:57

by someone showing no symptoms. But

20:59

what about liberals? You know the

21:01

high information by the science people.

21:04

In a recent Gallop survey, Democrats

21:07

did much worse than Republicans and

21:09

getting the right answer to the fundamental

21:11

question, what are the chances that

21:13

someone who gets COVID will need to be hospitalized?

21:17

The answer is between one and five of

21:22

Democrats thought it was over another

21:26

put the chances at so

21:29

almost of Democrats

21:31

are wildly off on this

21:33

key question, and also have a greatly

21:36

exaggerated view of the danger of

21:38

COVID two and the mortality

21:41

rate among children, all

21:44

of which explains why today the states with the

21:46

highest sheriff of schools that are still

21:48

closed are all blue states. So

21:51

if the right wing media bubble has to own

21:53

things like climate change denial,

21:56

shouldn't liberal media have to answer

21:58

for how did your audience

22:01

wind up believing such a bunch of crap

22:03

about COVID. A

22:12

new report in the Atlantic says

22:15

the media won't stop putting pictures

22:17

of the beach on stories

22:19

about COVID, even though it's looking increasing

22:21

like the beach is the best

22:23

place to avoid it. Sunlight

22:26

is the best disinfected, and vitamin

22:28

D is the key to a robust immune

22:31

system. Texas lifted its COVID

22:33

restrictions recently, and their infection

22:35

rates went down in part because

22:37

of people getting outside. Bill

22:40

Maher is saying, hey,

22:42

liberals, why aren't you following the science, the

22:45

same thing conservatives have been saying since

22:47

the start of a pandemic. If

22:49

you look at the numbers,

22:52

if you look it folks, the like

22:54

Rhondo Santiz, who clearly

22:56

followed the science in his state, if

22:59

you look at people like Gavin Newsom, and

23:01

let's be honest, folks, I want to tell you I lived

23:03

in Los Angeles since last

23:07

year, and uh

23:10

may, I couldn't do it anymore.

23:13

I could not be locked in my house. I was locked

23:15

in the house for two months. Couldn't

23:17

go anywhere. I lived in

23:20

this really fancy building downtown l

23:22

A. I couldn't use any of the manise.

23:24

I couldn't go to the pool. And I'm not trying to say that I'm

23:26

so good, but yeah, it was a great building. I worked

23:28

hard. I'm glad to have lived in that building.

23:31

But I couldn't use anything. Paying the

23:33

same amount of rent all of this other stuff,

23:35

and you couldn't use anything. And Gavin Newsom and the politicians

23:37

there seemingly didn't

23:40

have it figured out because they didn't, and

23:42

it took me all of a week to figure out,

23:45

maybe I should move to a place where

23:47

this freedom. That was after two months trying to

23:49

see what was going on with COVID, I said, man, you

23:52

know what, Florida's open, Miami's

23:54

open. And it took me two weeks to move

23:57

there where people seemingly

23:59

by did by the science, they

24:01

followed the rules. And then

24:04

we saw the distinction between

24:07

places like California and Florida,

24:10

where California a very large state,

24:12

Florida very large state. You saw

24:14

California completely shut down, Florida

24:17

open. What was the difference

24:19

the numbers of COVID infections through

24:21

the roof in California and

24:24

not so much in Florida,

24:26

an open state. Think

24:29

about that for a minute, an open state,

24:32

less infections. There was one group

24:34

that followed the science and the other one didn't it and jeopardize

24:36

their population even more. Bill

24:39

Maher, he shocked people

24:41

when he defended Republican Governor RHN

24:43

de Santis from the attacks of the media

24:46

and the Democratic Party. And I want

24:48

you to listen very closely to this next

24:51

clip, which he makes

24:54

almost exactly my point. Should

24:56

let the sun and wind do their thing.

25:00

But but

25:04

too many liberals that can't

25:06

be right because Texas

25:08

and beach loving Florida have Republican

25:11

governors. But life

25:13

is complicated. I've

25:16

read that the governor of Florida

25:18

reads I

25:23

know, we like to think of Florida as only

25:25

middle school teachers on bath salts

25:27

having sex with their students in front of an

25:30

alligator. But

25:33

apparently the governor is also

25:35

a voracious consumer of the scientific

25:38

literature, and maybe that's why he protected

25:40

his most vulnerable population, the

25:42

elderly, way better than did

25:45

the governor of New York. Those

25:53

are just facts. I know it's irresponsible

25:56

for me to say them.

26:00

Look, here's what I'm saying. I don't

26:02

want politics mixed in with

26:04

my medical decisions. And

26:15

now that everything is politics,

26:17

that's all we do. If their side

26:19

says COVID is nothing, our side has

26:21

to say it's everything. Trump said

26:23

it would go. We look a miracle, and

26:26

we said it was World War Z. Trump

26:29

said we should ingest household

26:31

disinfectants, and we laughed,

26:33

as we should, of course, And

26:36

then it turned out of

26:38

America was literally drenching the

26:40

fruit in Clorox, and

26:43

now, of course we find out that all that

26:46

paranoia about surfaces will bullshit.

26:48

Anyway, I knew that I needed to do an

26:50

episode on Bill Maher because

26:53

I don't know. At some point, I'm sure he's going to go extremely

26:55

left and wrong, So so

26:58

we'll get the good out of him while we while we can.

27:00

This is stating the hypocrisy

27:03

of those who are supposed to be the party

27:05

of science. Remember that Democrats are supposed to be the

27:07

party of science. Republicans are supposed

27:09

to be the looney tombs. They're supposed to be out of the looney

27:11

band. Don't believe anything with regards

27:14

to science. That has been a working narrative. That's

27:16

the idea that people have capitulated to in

27:18

the media and in political parties.

27:21

That's been what has been said. But then we find

27:23

out that the one that

27:25

they crowned king you're talking about

27:28

a New York Times bestseller. We're talking about governor

27:31

of New York State. Y'all

27:34

know who I'm talking about. Andrew

27:36

cmo He was the

27:38

one that wasn't following the science and he wrote

27:41

a book about how he saved New York. Is a lot like

27:43

who does this? Who

27:46

does this and get away with it? Apparently

27:49

some folks and particular political

27:52

parties they do. That

27:54

seems to be the case. Again.

27:56

Mar is a staunch liberal, but

27:59

he recognized this and is unafraid

28:01

to call out the excesses of wakeness. Marmade

28:05

other comments that I won't even play for you,

28:08

I'll just read them to you. He

28:10

talked about free college. He said that I know that free

28:12

college is a left wing thing, but

28:14

is it really liberal for someone who doesn't

28:16

go to college and makes less money to pay

28:18

for people who do go and make

28:20

more, especially

28:23

since colleges have turned into giant luxury

28:25

daycare sentence, were overpaid babysitters

28:28

anxious to indulge in every student whim.

28:31

And let's not forget about the fact that

28:33

those are his comments and I agree with that, But

28:35

let's not forget about the fact that college

28:38

has increased in value and it seems to

28:40

be that the degree doesn't mean as much as it used

28:43

to. And also this pushing

28:45

of this this elitist narrative that you have

28:47

to go to college in order to be successful. Mindre,

28:49

I went to college. I have a b s. In psychology.

28:52

Great, but at the same time,

28:54

those who choose to go to trade schools. There's

28:56

nothing wrong with that. There's nothing wrong with someone

28:58

who wishes to just go to high school

29:01

and then go take on a trade That's absolutely

29:03

fine. You can be incredibly successful,

29:06

you can be a multimillionaire. You can even be a

29:08

billionaire. It doesn't matter. It

29:10

really doesn't matter. It's about following your passion

29:12

and doing what's best for you. So

29:14

I can appreciate and applaud him for going

29:17

after the left, people like Bernie Sanders

29:19

who have been using this mantra we gotta pay.

29:22

Let's be clear about it. Joe Biden

29:25

has made the progressive

29:27

stance on free college his own. During

29:29

the election, he's

29:31

talked about that, but now that he's in

29:33

office, you're not seen anything about

29:35

any free college. He's like, let them come up

29:37

with their own bill. And he's really Biden his time

29:39

because he realizes that at some

29:42

point, soon enough, the Republicans are going to take

29:44

over the House. He's not gonna get much of any

29:46

of his policies passed, and then he's gonna

29:48

say, hey, I was all for it. It was the Republicans

29:50

that came and stepped in away and we weren't able to

29:52

pass anything. Right, How condigned

29:55

of him to say that it's all the

29:57

Republicans fault. That's what they do, just like his old

29:59

ball us is all the Republicans fault.

30:01

And I'm talking about, of course, Barack Obama.

30:05

You may wonder why Marr has taken such

30:07

a turn against his party in the

30:09

media. Here's

30:12

one answer. He's staunchly

30:14

politically incorrect. Indeed,

30:17

in an interview which I encourage

30:19

you all to see, he

30:21

had an interview with Jordan Peterson. If you don't

30:23

know Jordan Peterson, really smart

30:25

guy out of Canada. He's grown

30:27

a very, very large following because

30:30

he was so against political correctness.

30:33

Now, in a conversation with Bill

30:35

Maherr, Bill maher said,

30:37

political correctness is the elevation

30:40

of sensitivity over truth, the

30:43

elevation of sensitivity over truth.

30:46

We can be sensitive, we can be racially

30:48

sensitive, but we also have to be honest.

30:51

We shouldn't be in a position where we're just lying

30:53

about things. Just tell the truth. Just like

30:55

Kevin hard, White supremacy is at

30:57

all time high. Really really

31:01

is it all time high? Okay,

31:04

So again, the elevation of sensitivity over

31:06

truth. I really hope

31:08

the left is listening. And I know that some of you

31:11

all who are listening to this podcast, your

31:13

Democrats, I know. I get your messages,

31:15

I get your your Instagram,

31:17

d m s, I get the you know, the Twitter,

31:20

even some emails people saying

31:22

I know that, and I respect you just

31:25

as much. But you gotta understand

31:28

that the people on your side in

31:31

a lot of cases seemingly are

31:33

lying to you. They're lying.

31:36

Now be honest too. There's some Republicans

31:38

that lie that. I'm not gonna I'm

31:40

not gonna defend any

31:42

of that because it happens on both sides,

31:45

but there seems to be one side there's really

31:47

pushing outrageous narratives. And

31:50

that's why somebody who's his liberal

31:52

as b Omer is speaking out against

31:54

it and passionately so.

31:57

And to me, he seems to be the

31:59

only major voice on the left that still believes

32:01

in common sense on multiple issues,

32:04

even in the face of cancel

32:06

culture. What which he rightly

32:09

views is ridiculous

32:12

and stupid. Now

32:15

I'm gonna tell you, because I'm wrapping up

32:17

the show right now, we're

32:20

the place in a time in this country where

32:25

we must be more about truth than the narrative

32:27

of the moment, than the narrative of

32:29

the moment. We have to be honest.

32:32

We have to be honest, and that goes for both

32:34

sides, because Republicans in

32:37

some cases are pushing lives to um

32:40

and I'm gonna tell you, you know, especially

32:43

and this may anger some people, but I think about

32:45

what happened with the capital on

32:48

January six. Now. I know there's

32:50

been various viewpoints on this

32:52

particular issue. I remember

32:54

when I got the news. I was actually in Brazil

32:57

with my then girlfriend and we were on a ferry

33:00

going somewhere and I got a message saying

33:03

the capital has been attacked, and I'm like what.

33:05

It didn't make any sense. I'm like, what capital?

33:07

Because it obviously and clearly couldn't be the U.

33:10

S. Capital. Now, I

33:12

want you to take a moment and just think for

33:15

those who may be Trump supporters there,

33:18

you know, staunch conservatives, And I thank

33:20

you for joining me, and I thank you for listening on

33:22

a consistent basis, And the numbers look great,

33:24

and I appreciate your listenership, and I encourage

33:26

you to continue to listen. But I'm going to

33:28

be honest with you I'm gonna give you my point

33:30

of view from my

33:33

lens, and I will be

33:35

honest, So take it for what it is.

33:38

Just imagine this was January

33:42

and the House

33:44

and Senate was certifying the election for

33:47

Trump's win in Black

33:49

Lives Matter and Natifa stormed the

33:51

capital and

33:53

they were really disrupting the process.

33:56

I don't care what

33:58

what the situation. Maybe you store in the

34:00

capital, you're going to building that you're not supposed

34:02

to be in at that particular time,

34:04

and I get it. It's the people's capital, but

34:07

the people's business is going on at the same time.

34:10

And Black Lives Matter and ANTIFA did that. What

34:12

would we be calling them? We

34:14

would be calling them domestic terrorists

34:17

because that's what they

34:19

did. Violated the law, and

34:21

rightfully so. Black Lives Matter and

34:24

members of Black Lives Matter and the TIFA

34:27

burned courthouses down

34:29

to the ground, rioting, looting,

34:31

committing all kinds of criminal acts. We

34:34

saw that. We saw peaceful

34:36

protests, and then we saw others who took advantage

34:38

of a of a very sensitive moment. What

34:41

do we call those people? We call them criminals

34:43

because that's what they were. I don't care

34:46

how you what you know what the moment is.

34:49

It gives you no right to go violate someone's

34:51

business or property, no matter what

34:53

the situation is, and those people should be held to account

34:56

um. And certainly we've not really seen that with a

34:58

lot of these county prosecutor, as are prosecutors

35:00

in general, who have been dropping cases um

35:03

like flies on honeyes. They're

35:05

just dropping cases left and right against

35:08

the folks who really went and destroyed

35:10

property over a billion

35:12

or billions of dollars in damage. Now,

35:16

if we can call folks on

35:18

that side criminals,

35:20

if we can say if they would have gone

35:23

into the capital, they would be domestic terrorists.

35:25

We have to be consistent. The Trump supporters

35:28

that went into the capital on January

35:30

six, they violated

35:33

the law. It was a domestic terrorist act in

35:35

my view. I've said it on air um

35:38

and I get pushed back. I understand, but

35:40

I'm gonna be honest about it because that's exactly

35:42

what we would say about the other side.

35:49
