Support. For unexplainable comes from Bombay, Us

0:27

these socks. Certainly, sometimes I feel like it's

0:29

a little weird to like Zoc this much,

0:31

but they're so comfy. Can I reach into

0:33

my sock drawer and get a pair of

0:35

bombers? I'm like. This is going to be

0:37

a good day. I. Recently. Got my

0:39

hands on a bunch of Dad

0:42

Zoc crew Sox Quarter Sox a

0:44

Moral Caf Zoc which is my

0:46

favorite. I'm basically Genji guys. just

0:49

like ignore the gray hair and

0:53

details like honeycomb arch support, anti

1:24

Don't know if you've been on Facebook

1:26

lately, but it is a mass. There's

1:28

a i spam everywhere and most of

1:31

it is weirdly religious. Jesus in

1:33

all of his forms are

1:35

very common. It's like Jesus.

1:38

With. A birthday cake next to

1:40

deformed children. There's also a lot

1:42

of Jesus with ripped men like

1:44

just really strong, like bodybuilder types

1:47

and as well as with hot

1:49

flight attendants. I'm Taylor Iran's and

1:51

this week on Power User will talk about

1:53

what it means when when it that of

1:55

finding social networks of our time becomes an

1:57

ai spam graveyard and who's behind it all.

2:06

Oh. Oh.

2:09

2:22

Maher comedian and controversial host of the

2:24

H B O Series Real Time with

2:26

Bill Maher. It suddenly years since Two

2:28

thousand and Three Yes are both really

2:30

old. I've known Bill long time and

2:32

I bet on his show as a

2:34

panelist and as an interview. We recently

2:36

for my book and I've watched him

2:39

since he started. Really, we both changed.

2:41

If you watch real time you know

2:43

he wraps up the show with a

2:45

monologue. Or an editorial as he

2:47

calls them about things he's passionate about

2:49

Republicans and democrats, guns and religion, and

2:51

of course drugs. His new book, titled

2:54

what This Comedian Said will shock you.

2:56

consolidate sees editorials from the past twenty

2:58

years and last week I went to

3:01

his home studio. A kind of layer

3:03

aura villains whereas you know, like I'm

3:21

my interview with him before that

3:23

he didn't light up except we

3:25

talked about show business, cancel culture,

3:27

politics and pretty much everything else.

3:29

It was like them or hate

3:31

4:18

4:20

in the hills above Beverly Hills. The

4:22

Spam I bet on your H B

4:24

O so real time many times. It's

4:26

definitely more formal than this. It is

4:28

sort of the perfect place to just sit

4:30

and get high with somebody. I do like

4:32

chess and I target so I like a

4:34

teenage boys dreamed it is and makes out

4:37

nine own underside of figure out with I

4:39

have made Out in the Sun believed. In

4:41

time for. Well as another that's right

4:43

or was it happens but you know

4:46

it could does does not p Diddy

4:48

Sepsis Fifty two with the have no

4:50

no cookies out in has advised that

4:52

network and good though. Now. Are

4:54

it will provide some. That's so this is where

4:57

you do record your you to podcasts I'm gonna

4:59

do next after he finished interview Tell me why

5:01

you decided to do this on the side of.

5:05

That I'm an hour. Lots of Slavery.

5:07

Some podcast that. You are relatively

5:09

early to it or of

5:11

those early to had birds.

5:13

I did recognize in a

5:15

certain points that I. Had

5:19

to readjust my thinking. which at

5:21

the dawn of podcasting was really

5:24

Am radio. That that's going to

5:26

be big. I am radio this.

5:28

Yes, it is. I'm just shows

5:30

and you know this better than

5:32

the Betty. You can't predict technology.

5:34

I certainly can't Maybe you can

5:36

again. But you predicted podcasting. Have.

5:38

The I actually didn't have a Steve

5:41

Jobs and he talked about he said

5:43

broadcasting ipod podcasts and. Six never

5:45

doubted that it would become the cinema

5:47

to decide. That people hadn't licenses to their

5:49

phone and it's making sense. I did a

5:51

ten years or now move their ago but

5:53

one it that what made you do it

5:56

Anyway, I'm thinking Piers Morgan is finally leading

5:58

the gentle embrace of Rupert Murdoch. Finally

6:00

dead only doing and on you tube.

6:03

Talk about why you get it. Will. At

6:05

Why Does is because real Time which

6:07

had been on twenty one years and

6:09

before that politically incorrect recent you're sitting

6:11

under the sign from that old So

6:13

they were all about politics. I mean

6:16

mostly about politics, but certainly about political

6:18

culture and serious events in the news.

6:20

And it's a certainly real time once

6:22

a week shelves. I put my all

6:24

into it and I work many, many

6:26

many hours a week to make that

6:28

one hour exactly the when a way

6:31

I want. It's but isn't only have

6:33

a certain kind of guest on. That

6:35

show is has to be people who know

6:37

everything about what's going on in the world.

6:39

We tell the guess you have to know

6:41

everything you have to be the a team

6:44

of you can. Biggest stories Brake lights you

6:46

have able to talk about everything and know

6:48

everything. That's not most people who

6:50

you might wanna talk to. Most people don't

6:52

know anything. certainly shoved his as people don't

6:54

write as young as well. So yes of

6:56

you want to talk to a lot of

6:59

people. they would be excluded from doing a

7:01

show like real times but anybody can sit

7:03

here and get high with nice s and

7:05

we can talk about a million other things

7:07

and I very often be out to dinner

7:09

with somebody or with people and they would

7:11

say you know it's a so interesting on

7:13

all these other subjects and I never hear

7:16

you talk about on real time. Wanted to

7:18

do a podcast and again. Because I'm not

7:20

you I went to have that silly but

7:22

guessing it's and then I was like yeah

7:24

you know and that's a great idea and

7:26

I should and that way I can talk

7:28

to a lot more celebrities night and people

7:30

who otherwise i just not politically bent. So

7:33

when you add any you have the

7:35

max's mention meal time and now you're

7:37

on Cnn now. Yes, Some

7:39

people are completely leaving all that

7:41

behind. How do you look As.

7:43

Well don't have to leave me. Ah,

7:46

Yes, I mean I I can read

7:49

the paper to and I can listen

7:51

to you and I know that it

7:53

is always a dwindling audience for that.

7:55

And I mean I'd love to get

7:57

your predictions on that like where it's

7:59

gonna be. Five years Biggest may Malek.

8:01

That. Small. I mean it's always

8:04

getting smaller. Will it be? Disappear

8:06

completely? theater? Is still important than your I.

8:08

Might write an hour and movies.

8:11

It's it'll tenth on his lucrative any was not nice

8:13

and make money out and know are like but I

8:15

think you have to prove your worth whatever the fuck

8:17

The thing that and what would you do now as

8:19

you are a young com act like there's a lot

8:21

of stuff like you tube. There's a lot of stuff

8:23

on Reddit is a ton of stuff on ticking on

8:25

how to how would you. Do. You for your now

8:27

of soil is I don't know because I'm

8:29

not a on com a good. I don't

8:31

know about those formats very well, I never

8:33

really adapted. that's my fault. but you know

8:35

you can't be good at everything. I am

8:37

not good at technology, I'm not good at

8:39

learning something and I'm not native to and

8:41

you know I'm a little spoiled. I have

8:43

people who can do it for me so

8:45

what would I be doing? I have no

8:47

idea. I'm guessing if I was born thirty

8:49

years after I would really was born, I

8:51

would be native to it. and then I

8:53

would be doing what everybody else did. because

8:56

when I. Came up I just did with

8:58

everybody else did. We went to the comedy

9:00

clubs, the urban comedy class like the improv

9:02

and catch a rising star in the comedy

9:04

store out here and the template was you

9:06

dude and you went on the contrary it

9:08

well yes you you do You made a

9:10

living barely as as as a comedian while

9:12

you were building up material which the then

9:14

you may you know if you were good

9:16

enough and it was cleaning up you could

9:18

do the tonight show and then you would

9:20

get a sitcom and that's exactly what happened

9:22

to me. I dinner tonight show a bunch

9:24

of times and and I got sitcoms. And

9:26

then silly movies and finally you know, when I

9:29

was in my thirties I went on. This isn't

9:31

for me and I reinvented myself at The

9:33

Thing as the thing I should have always been

9:35

doing. Which is what I'm doing now. I mean,

9:37

I was always interested in politics in the news.

9:40

My father was a newsman. It was in

9:42

my house when I was a kid, so I

9:44

knew my shit. You know, I knew stuff that

9:46

other comics didn't. I talked about it when I

9:48

was young. It didn't really make sense when I

9:51

was in my twenties because you don't have

9:53

the gravitas to pull it off. But as I

9:55

got older, I grew into. It. And so

9:57

I was sort of uniquely. Formed

10:01

to do when I'm doing mostly again

10:03

because news was in my house it

10:05

was always in my father when it

10:07

suddenly was a newsman he was our

10:09

in the days of radio news when

10:11

every radio station had headers at the

10:13

top of the our rights top even

10:16

on W A B C within my

10:18

rock'n'roll station and cousin brew seats and

10:20

we would be like in as kids

10:22

we were like why we have an

10:24

eagle of the news for five minutes

10:26

at the top of every hours but

10:28

that's would every station. Did And that's what

10:30

he did. And it was the days when you. Rip

10:33

the news off know wire right and

10:35

you and he had a stopwatch as

10:38

a collection of stopwatches because you to

10:40

do a five minute news cast without

10:42

where her sing it coming right in

10:44

on time. No wonder he needed three

10:46

martinis when I got home from work

10:48

At night out was very stressful. How

10:51

do you think about years growing up? That. Had

10:54

a look idyllic. the Dell like.

10:56

Like almost ridiculously innocent. So leave it

10:58

to beaver. I compared to how much

11:01

kids go through today and how the

11:03

grub. none of the things that kids

11:05

say today did I even have an

11:08

awareness of there was no racial problems

11:10

Because this was and by the way,

11:12

any grew up in Alabama, roman New

11:14

Jersey price. but New Jersey after World

11:17

War Two? I mean I grew up.

11:19

I was born mid fifties and was

11:21

a kid in the sixties and seventies

11:23

in high school. I mean, this is

11:26

New Jersey. It was still all white. Oh.

11:29

Wait, so there was no racial problems

11:31

is I don't remember any draw this

11:33

right there in it's worth bearing in

11:35

their intermediate range my end and but

11:37

I'm saying like this is a northern

11:39

state emerges to give you an idea

11:42

where this country was and how far

11:44

as come with a lot of places

11:46

we still need to go. To

11:49

was needed like divorce. I

11:52

don't remember like. Such as a

11:54

deeply south unhappiness that was unexpressed. There

11:56

was there would. there was a number of

11:58

suicides and town as guys. In

12:00

the swimming pool, Palestinian on co

12:02

me mad and yeah that's what

12:04

it was. You didn't divorce, you

12:07

killed yourself South as far as

12:09

so much better die set up

12:11

know foot? Get our news.

12:13

Lot of words were assists the

12:15

worker broken homes so there wasn't

12:17

I don't remember any drug issues

12:19

again. no racial issues. Ah, it

12:21

was. Just leave it to beaver

12:23

time. So how did you get the way you

12:26

are? So. vaguely disgruntled.

12:29

Oh I'm not disgruntled, thanks and

12:31

I mean I feel like rentals

12:33

grumbles. I'm to completely grunt olds

12:36

and see a like my life's

12:38

with is just. Been. Very

12:40

lucky. Not that I have my issues and

12:42

my problems as we all do. but when

12:44

I look back at what I would could

12:46

have happened. First of

12:48

all I just was always meant to be

12:51

an adult and was not happy as a

12:53

child just because some people aren't If you're

12:55

a control freak it's not good to be

12:57

a child because you're not in control and

12:59

he don't like that and it just telling

13:01

rates greats against you and also I was

13:04

I went to school all the time with

13:06

a not in my stomach. These kids are

13:08

feral and their mean and they're nazis. And

13:10

you have to teach them to be

13:12

if to teach them to be decent

13:14

human being and does not come naturally.

13:16

And so I was often the one

13:18

who was ostracized or mates you know,

13:20

bullied I'm not always. There was one

13:22

kid who got worse than me, but

13:24

I was always worried that it would

13:26

be me. And even

13:29

when Matt past, I still wasn't one of

13:31

the popular kids. And

13:33

you think that's a bad thing

13:35

for adulthood that your your formative

13:37

years or not all that happy,

13:39

right? Because. First of all, what you

13:41

do get means more to you. Is

13:43

it you know when you stand yes

13:46

and as you want. To be the particular,

13:48

of course, Who doesn't want to be the

13:50

popular good? I would have loved to it

13:52

and else was super shy so I couldn't

13:54

talk to a girl even though I was

13:57

horny or than anybody it's I'm so all

13:59

that. When people hear

14:01

about my past they think oh that

14:03

can't be because all the things you

14:06

are now yet because some sixty eight

14:08

now is lose a long journey of

14:10

Reiner's That's the idea that they have

14:13

to try harder I guess so well

14:15

as try hard and learn to wait

14:17

sailor to wait for the good things

14:19

that will come but they sure didn't

14:22

come easily are naturally I'm I'm naturally

14:24

it's a late developer. I think everything

14:26

in my life has come to me

14:29

late including Epiphanies. Including knowledge

14:31

including maturity and certainly

14:33

success. So many different.

14:35

Things that you don't have a lot of been watching

14:37

all. Your appearances Iran Fox News at

14:39

that. Sounds trying hard to laugh. This

14:41

is just such a waxy that he.

14:44

Isn't medium funny comments and thinks

14:46

he's much. Maloney is as I I

14:48

met a job that night. I said this

14:50

is the best show you tube ever done

14:53

said I see was success and the ratings

14:55

Mumbai I read it today that was the

14:57

highest reading member Riyadh yes and it really

14:59

was a funny shows because they are they

15:02

wanted to be on their game yeah for

15:04

me there and I really appreciate us and

15:06

I had watched the show previously and it

15:08

really wasn't that good that nights was a

15:10

good hour of television yeah had a lot

15:13

and regularly and secure and you that seen

15:15

as he did very well. But is that

15:17

signing Yeah I could see like he wanted. You

15:19

to visit with us and Iran so.

15:21

But he never does it usually does test around

15:23

over tipo. Yeah, know he was at the

15:25

I was or it. I thought that was

15:27

a great example of yes, let's talk to

15:30

each other who don't agree. It's and I

15:32

got my shots in at the beginning thread

15:34

about Trump being a dictator and look at

15:36

Ice, I find it very. Frightening.

15:39

Because. I got a great insight into

15:41

how the right wing is seeing him

15:43

now. Oh, he's just a comedian. Rights

15:45

Donald Trump is a crazy. Matters is

15:47

crazy things you catch that it's near,

15:49

it's just can't take care. Take it

15:51

seriously. he's funny is just entertainment and

15:54

isn't that better threat and old Joe

15:56

Biden is not funny at all. See,

15:58

I know it's not as. Republican

16:00

Current Everything. That they were. He's

16:02

just not. Exactly. He doesn't mean it's and

16:05

you don't get any insight unless you see

16:07

and talk to those. Yes to the other

16:09

side is unavailable. Know, I know, I've heard

16:11

that Runs would. Just laugh at them like

16:13

for know some of it seems troubling as

16:15

very troubling silk but let's they get Never

16:17

saw the interview in a purple jacket by

16:19

the west. Not purple flowers and it was

16:22

16:34

A long as I was. Drawn to it.

16:36

You know you are like to think that

16:39

16:41

Bunny. The Appeal: Dislike. That was it

16:43

16:51

them. Yes say they do get there

16:54

16:56

really interesting. I'm watching all over the

16:58

place which is interesting. It's zip is

17:00

new pew new book is called. What

17:02

this comedian said was shocked you You

17:04

know we share a publisher and editor

17:06

John Carp that's a great guys to

17:08

I would say call them dead White

17:10

funny Pantheon guys to Mark Twain Ah

17:12

Will Rogers Hl Mencken Do you do

17:14

think you're in that Pantheon? His

17:17

mindset good. Like

17:20

them, Citizen? No, I don't know. I mean,

17:22

I read Hl Mencken worse In some ways.

17:24

I am. In some ways. I'm not. I'm

17:26

in a show Macon. Was

17:29

a brilliant writer who wrote the

17:31

whole long books. I'm this book

17:33

is a collection of all the

17:35

editorials have done on the end

17:37

of the show trying to the

17:39

last twenty years I went through

17:41

all of them, reimagine them, rewrote

17:43

them, picked out the criminal a

17:45

crimp so. Basically, it took me twenty

17:47

years to write this book. Okay, Hl. Mencken

17:50

didn't have to weigh twenty years to write

17:52

a book mess. So I'm not bad guy.

17:54

I'm a comedian. I'm funnier than they are,

17:56

but I'm not like that kind of authors.

17:58

If I hadn't had this. Basis of material.

18:00

I probably wouldn't sit down and write a

18:03

whole book but having done it that way

18:05

all my materials in this book is our

18:07

well tested and so people have told me

18:09

as just did just an age when I

18:11

read over it's I it is. It's funny

18:13

on every page I'm in l a wealth

18:16

of an answering of they're all very funny

18:18

they are and different you had changed some

18:20

of the not change it but it's even

18:22

on them and so was married to a

18:24

dozen is more complex. Is I?

18:26

Hope so I hope as we them at all when I only

18:28

know. You've a lot of frequent Trump's

18:31

that I'm up to go through them.

18:33

Top among them said you haven't changed

18:35

at Liberals have changed have Basically it's

18:37

not me, it's them. By years I

18:39

think you have changed at any given

18:41

and of nephew you have to necessarily

18:43

put yourself anywhere but you've got more

18:45

complex limited means you for my son

18:48

no way to. Was a fan of.

18:50

yours is not as much anymore and I'll tell

18:52

you why it's tougher. I tell you, he's not

18:54

that liberal. Okay, let me just let me go

18:56

into this was such a brilliant and wonderfully critical

18:58

mind. Why add to the negativity all the time?

19:00

You're so good at calling out bullshit now it

19:02

seems like you're not get off my lawn time

19:04

a guy. It would be good to have a

19:06

conversation with a young person is not crowd I'm

19:08

good at Want to? The. Hell. I

19:10

was easy as so you having little.

19:13

Shit and then it. It will be good

19:15

to have a conversation a young person doesn't

19:17

start with you being right and were such

19:19

idiots without any thoughts. So. Even when I'm doing

19:21

okay, Tell me He said you are truly

19:23

funny guy. Now it feels like you're not

19:25

adding to the conversations. And what somebody else?

19:28

I get that does not seem to sell. He

19:30

liked year he that you are influencing him. I've

19:32

lost audience again already switching I was

19:34

me. Because I think the i don't I don't

19:36

eat this. I am only a truth teller. It.

19:40

Can be seen as crotchety mockery dressed up

19:42

as enlightenment. So I want you to address

19:44

that. I don't we say watch someone else.

19:46

That's too easy. That's too easy to see.

19:48

Here's a fans who is having a hard

19:50

time. Because I don't see what are these

19:52

and other said well for is is the

19:55

first of all birds are not gonna pretend

19:57

that a lot of what young people are

19:59

in. The thing now isn't stupid because

20:01

it is. I hear this all the

20:04

time from like friends of mine, right

20:06

who are who have kids in their

20:08

late teens or twenties and they're always

20:10

complaining to me because I don't have

20:13

kids I guess about how much their

20:15

kids are driving them and same with

20:17

their over the top welcome. This and

20:19

a lot of you don't get it

20:22

mom since you don't get it isn't

20:24

that we can get my dad's old

20:26

is old sinking and then you know

20:28

My answer is once. You say to

20:31

them abolish the police know I

20:33

don't get it's Mino. tear down

20:35

statues of Lincoln's Maybe give Communism

20:37

another try to get rid of

20:39

the border Patrol over all of

20:41

them that no, no with ads.

20:43

but there is a series there

20:45

is and embracing. Have a bunch

20:47

of ideas and the problem isn't

20:49

that I'm old is that your

20:51

ideas are stupid. They are very

20:53

often and I'm going to call

20:56

them out if you want to

20:58

say that. if you want to

21:00

pretend. That that's about me getting old. By

21:02

the way, I live in you getting old

21:04

As you said, get off your law and

21:06

in. I just like The easiest thing to

21:08

go to is. like I'm going to say

21:10

the problem is that year olds will. You're

21:12

right, I'm sixty eight years old. I can

21:15

do anything about that. I probably live a

21:17

younger life In most to the people half

21:19

my age and some of them that age

21:21

it's I've never been married. Okay, I just

21:23

don't live a young. I don't live in

21:25

older person's life. I am not an or

21:27

get off my lawn kind of person to

21:29

so. I think that statue but when I

21:31

think it is is the idea of missing all

21:34

the young people to one spot for nothing in

21:36

a few bucks and is very complex I can

21:38

tell you might. As I went but there's

21:40

no time when you were for taught

21:42

as if we're talking about the middle.

21:45

The demonstrations for rebutted the say the

21:47

guys steps I it is It says

21:49

i have an hour of T V

21:51

week I don't have time nobody does

21:53

to say oh and by the way

21:55

this is not everybody. You just have

21:57

to assume that it said it's I'd

21:59

set to sing Everything a writer says

22:01

with this is my opinion We get

22:03

it, this is your opinion. Let's just

22:06

start said it's also have to kind

22:08

of have to assume I don't think

22:10

it's everybody and by the way it's

22:12

This is not really the usual reaction

22:14

I get from obviously a smart kid.

22:16

Smart kids usually say to me that

22:18

they also are set up with most

22:20

of the people in their gyrated three.

22:22

I just said no, that's a nice and about that

22:25

Yeah, join the protest. Oh they said they wanted to

22:27

ask questions. Get a like me because I'm

22:29

willing to call out the people who

22:31

they know better than I do. See

22:33

Ah tiresome. they are about some of

22:35

the bullshit. They believe what I think

22:37

he. Was getting athletic a several people

22:39

I know get that is that you

22:42

feel that that was year and that

22:44

is saints in a way that seems

22:46

more intolerant to them. I'm not more

22:48

intolerant. Did did the ideas got dumber? I

22:50

mean in the introduction of the book I

22:52

bring his have been done for a while.

22:54

not as dumb. The two instances I bring

22:56

up in the introduction in the book one

22:58

is the. Mister.

23:00

Beast thing which than I did

23:03

an editorial about this from Mr.

23:05

Beast as a thing curator thousand

23:07

people of disability and is attacked.

23:09

The Washington Post writer who attacked

23:11

him for Mr Be seems as

23:13

think that disability assuming a nice

23:15

to be cured okay that's it

23:18

idea that is just so much

23:20

more stupid than anything I ever

23:22

heard ten years ago. the idea

23:24

that disability doesn't need to be

23:26

cured or the other one about

23:28

the Atlantic article. Separating

23:31

sports by sex doesn't make sense

23:33

site. That was one of them. Then they had

23:35

others that said the office said on it in the

23:37

Atlantic they've done nice. And other articles your think of

23:39

it but just but just a printing articles and

23:41

there's this is set and as many seconds into

23:43

their that are so crazy one of them is

23:45

like. It said

23:48

maintaining the binary in

23:50

sports reinforces the idea

23:52

that men are stronger

23:54

and faster. Than.

23:57

Women know. That. Men

23:59

are stronger and. The women is is

24:01

not an idea to this is the

24:03

I think kids were generally raised wrong

24:05

and so they're just never told. oh

24:08

that's a dumb idea, they're just indulged

24:10

and so whatever brain for take him

24:12

up with is treated like it's a

24:14

valid argument that should be introduced into

24:17

the conversation with the adults. and there's

24:19

a reason why. When I was a

24:21

good for example, since we're just not

24:23

invited into the conversation with adults because

24:26

they didn't deserve to be and you

24:28

don't usually deserved to be. Added

24:30

a how old your kid is when they

24:32

get into their teens. Obviously they can become

24:34

much more intelligent and and up on the

24:36

news and up on things point. Is that

24:39

one and young people should be able

24:41

to have different thoughts that become dumps?

24:43

Not People seem down during the Vietnam

24:45

thing. now? not yet. I'm yeah. the

24:47

done during Apartheid. Maybe not so damn.

24:50

Maybe there aren't. I don't think there's

24:52

a good a now is what's going on

24:54

now but for had I agree kids are

24:56

could absolutely it's it's part of and use

24:58

it to have dumb ideas but said don't

25:00

ask me not to call them out the

25:02

i. Do amassing young people together And way

25:05

said, as much I am I can't like

25:07

I am. Honored that you can, You don't

25:09

have the times the right one hour a

25:11

week to say it's or every time. Yeah,

25:13

this is Not everybody. Okay let me says

25:15

here right now Blanket Lace, it's not everybody.

25:17

I get it. There are some kids who

25:19

are smarter than others and most kids aren't

25:21

even watching the show because they wouldn't even

25:23

know what to do with a show like.

25:29

The that. Supports

25:43

it is so comes from Virgin Atlantic.

25:47

that's a controversial taste. Sure, we all

the journey just feels like a means

you said quote woke miss at first

27:53

often And support and often. As for

27:55

the bad ideas, I don't disagree. There

27:57

have been excesses that other people to

27:59

spend. Jon Stewart went with perhaps against

28:01

you in particular, say when it comes to

28:04

cancel culture, the ones who smelt it dealt

28:06

it. Basically the only people talking about cancel

28:08

culture Conservative. and they are the ones actually

28:11

canceling people specially the Trump crowd. Just a

28:13

good they didn't list Cheney. Marjorie Telegraph is

28:15

still in office to talk a little bit

28:17

about that because there is a Cancel Culture

28:20

on the right. Absolutely or near. I missed

28:22

a point in the book that had

28:24

two episode about. The national this that that

28:26

why it's you know And then there's people

28:29

who are supposedly cancel by left like Louis

28:31

Ck are still out there report Madison Square

28:33

Garden feel. Player know my brother way

28:35

he should be. He can't do it

28:37

nearly everything he would like to do

28:40

because if he does it all started

28:42

all over again and then they'll start

28:44

talking about. You

28:46

know, whatever the crime was to begin with,

28:48

which you know by his own admission, it

28:51

wasn't a cool thing to do. But really,

28:53

do we have to punish him to the

28:55

whole rest of his life's but it'll started

28:57

all over again. He has kids, he doesn't

29:00

want them to have to deal with it

29:02

all the time. I mean, does everybody. Have

29:04

to live up by the worst moment

29:07

I ever had in their life. So

29:09

yes, he can play anywhere in the

29:11

world, is had a huge fan base,

29:13

and sell tickets, and he can put

29:15

his movies online and sell them directly.

29:18

But this at the Weight Show business

29:20

is normally done. So don't tell me

29:22

that he hasn't paid an enormous price

29:24

or that he can still conduct his

29:27

professional life the way he should be

29:29

able to. Or Woody Allen. Woody Allen

29:31

Can't get a movie made in this

29:33

country because. Or even

29:35

after to investigations which exonerated

29:37

him and the Hollywood community

29:40

decided he was history's greatest

29:42

monster and that he was

29:44

a child molester and that

29:46

we could not even countenance

29:48

him. Putting

29:50

out a movie or talking about it

29:52

or seeing him in any way. Now

29:54

a desert cancel cause you're either know

29:56

what is similar. Temperament and The right.

29:58

There's many people on the. If I went

30:00

outside that it make their own testimony

30:03

there. With the investigations, the official investigation.

30:05

Two of them. To have them many

30:08

things are problematic with all these

30:10

investigations. With is something problematic with every

30:12

investigation. they really don't have a case the

30:14

people on the other side with. First of

30:16

all we have to go by investigations and

30:19

them it's I mean every court case probably

30:21

has something wrong with it. We are humans.

30:23

It's the only way we can do things

30:25

his might try to. Judge Judy A be

30:27

great. If we could have some God come

30:30

down and give her an almighty ruling that

30:32

we don't have that we can just do

30:34

that. We can just go by what we

30:36

have on earth and in that system you

30:39

kinda have to go buy it. If

30:41

somebody is exonerated, there were exonerated. It

30:43

seems to be the case with somebody

30:45

like Woody Allen. not. doesn't matter, That

30:48

been for for all of history like.

30:51

Oh, Jason was exonerated by many

30:53

people think he probably killed them

30:55

instead now. so it hardly matters

30:57

at this moment. But and two

30:59

things you said do to stick

31:01

with people over. The. Now, Lizzie

31:03

Borden didn't have a great life after

31:05

that after she was exonerated for that

31:07

killing sales. That's not something fresh and

31:09

new. Cancel cancer is not a fresh

31:11

and new saying. It's. Cute. It's

31:14

human behavior. Or

31:16

or. Not. Maybe don't think it as. A

31:18

As a good A. It's that nothing

31:20

is new under the sun lately see

31:22

as he get. His kids came to

31:24

be something very different. certainly was social

31:27

media since I think it's certainly rose

31:29

to a level we never saw it

31:31

before and and became something that was

31:34

a blood sport. I think

31:36

of a big problem with the woke

31:38

is that they don't very often seem

31:40

to want to six something. They just

31:42

seem to want to establish how much

31:44

more pure they are than the next

31:46

person. Okay, the about a certain problems

31:48

and to catch people at some that's

31:50

sort of ended by now. Do you

31:52

think it's gotten worse? Because I don't.

31:54

I get said ended at all. And

31:56

it at all and ignored it seems to exist. very

31:58

much so. In that, Trump. The group the Trump

32:00

people who if you step out of line. Totally

32:03

know what I'm Yes, I mean, I

32:05

think I make the point in the

32:07

book that nobody was ever cancelled harder

32:09

than Carbon Cap or Nick. I mean,

32:11

he should have had a career in

32:13

the Nfl and he did not. and

32:15

that was slide out collusion. And

32:18

mean they they are among and

32:20

maybe not specific unspoken see. like.

32:22

the owners of the National Football

32:24

League certainly recognize that he was

32:26

more talented than some of the

32:28

people who were playing quarterback for

32:30

that's certainly as a backup from

32:32

and yet nobody would touch him.

32:34

If that's not cancer cancer, I

32:36

don't know what it is. So

32:39

yes it is is it does happen

32:41

on both sides. Lump in there was

32:43

there were two inches is it was

32:45

just last week. The to people what.

32:47

Were those two instances where cancel

32:49

in these room left kind of

32:51

cancellations? The guy he did this

32:54

gesture he was a sports reporter

32:56

in Indiana. Caitlin Clark strength just

32:58

signed with the Indiana team. I

33:00

think the season. Okay so there's

33:02

the initial press conference and M

33:04

P S or about the heart

33:06

symbol that she does. He says

33:08

i do that it's rather not

33:10

to my family after every games

33:12

and he said well you know

33:14

throw went out to me and

33:16

will get. Along fine. He's

33:20

not allowed in the building

33:22

anymore. Because Why? Because he's

33:25

like. It was

33:27

creepy that that. I. Festivals in I.

33:29

Landed that is in a stiff enough consequences

33:31

for being a crate. That's increase.

33:35

It. By I don't think

33:38

a lot of people getting I don't

33:40

find that creepy long as it's a

33:42

lot of it's a for such sake

33:44

six month. Really a little crazy. Okay

33:46

well than than I think you're oversensitive.

33:48

Know about that? I'm not aware but

33:50

that's our disagreements I have as I

33:52

you know to me television being thrown

33:54

out of the vale they are. He

33:56

was gone, could be known he was

33:58

except that he was thrown. Can't

34:00

yet be on the premises

34:02

anymore. News to me, that's

34:05

a light remark. Maybe you

34:07

didn't strike you the way

34:09

he mentored, or are we

34:11

really not working with this

34:13

much margin of error. And

34:15

it's. Okay, And that was last

34:17

week. my so don't tell me that cancel

34:19

culture is over and there was another instances

34:21

I don't have like a member but it

34:23

was the same things that was just as

34:25

trivial. And this

34:28

is part and parcel to

34:30

like a generation again. not

34:32

all of them says ah

34:34

who like throw around the

34:36

word violence and it's very

34:38

casually the violence has a

34:40

specific meanings. Not to them

34:42

violence has morphed into meaning

34:44

Anything we all like. Separate

34:46

would do for cultures and people had

34:48

fitted endless sit for decades and a

34:50

kind of tired of it that sometimes

34:52

how I feel bad as. Seventy. One

34:55

of the things that I think has

34:57

happened is that a lot of people

34:59

have taken decades and. More than

35:01

that of endless said. And now. You

35:03

want to say something about it? I totally understand

35:05

or I mean like I don't really have you

35:08

how many I told way tropes. I get an

35:10

hour after outlets. Shut the fuck up. I totally

35:12

got. To try to cancel the i couldn't legislators

35:14

shut the. Fuck I totally get that

35:16

so it doesn't and an other at

35:18

my eyes and except it's a I

35:21

I'm often have thought like especially racially

35:23

in this country it's It is a

35:25

little like a relationship site like we

35:28

were the white people. Were.

35:30

Horribly abuses. Ah,

35:33

and. Now. We're.

35:36

Trying to do better but just

35:38

like in a relationship played. You.

35:41

Kids you say you're sorry, wants to be

35:43

do certain that you have to say you're

35:45

sorry A lot to ask for. The person

35:47

has to do before the person starts to

35:50

melt. say and we're going to be in

35:52

the. Size. Of

35:54

I'm sorry for a very

35:56

long time in. A

35:59

somewhat appropriately. I. Understand

36:01

that completely so you're not going

36:03

to like be able to overnight, Just

36:05

go. Okay, so you're all forgiven. Snow

36:07

A courses is also complicated because we

36:10

are at the same time. Individuals

36:12

and then seen as a

36:14

collective of our race. I

36:16

don't believe in collective guilt.

36:18

I didn't do it. Personally,

36:21

That's is it. But. I did

36:23

benefit from it. were growing up when

36:26

I grew up. I'm sure there were

36:28

times when Nineteen Eighty when I was

36:30

starting out today hire me when they

36:32

could have hired a black comic who

36:35

is just as goods? maybe? Yeah, I'm

36:37

sure. So And and and you know,

36:39

when you'll look at the economics, that's

36:42

the main thing I think we have

36:44

to rectify. Like White Wells is like

36:46

ten times as great as Black Wealth

36:48

obviously from the legacy of our sorry

36:51

past. How do we six that. Some

36:53

people say it's reparations. The

36:56

Arab Time there are versions of reparations

36:58

they are going on right now. I

37:01

mean select. We don't have reparations. We

37:03

have programs that have. Benefited

37:06

the minority communities more than other communities.

37:08

That is a form of reparations. Some

37:10

people say we should write checks would.

37:12

They did a study of in here

37:14

in California and system wanted to give

37:16

at one point two million dollars to

37:18

every black person in a state that

37:21

was not a slave states entered the.

37:23

Union and eighteen fifty as a

37:25

Free States and last five hundred

37:27

and soldiers fighting for the North.

37:30

And it would cost the state eight

37:32

hundred billion dollars when our actual state

37:35

budget already is three hundred billion dollars.

37:37

So that doesn't seem like a practical

37:39

version. So it's easy to think

37:41

is taking a red. so I've heard

37:43

that and lots of the box you

37:45

absolute most early and sang republicans had

37:48

lost the narrative you specifically trump people

37:50

are infinitely worse for the country to

37:52

me. Actual action is worse

37:54

than just signing of words like

37:56

book banning. Or they're connected a

37:59

certain afterwards. Connect directly, but

38:01

there's actual action, book yearnings,

38:03

Our try to roll back which happens on the

38:05

left to. It as but they're more

38:07

effective of actually passing things that affect

38:09

people whether it's on gay and lesbian

38:11

rights or book banning an actual people

38:13

actually being cast out. How do you

38:15

look at the Republican party, especially the

38:17

Trump people? It's I don't know if

38:19

you can distinguish them anymore. Right

38:22

now in that regard. Were like

38:24

I can never said enough and then people saw

38:26

us me So I'll just keep saying it's. I

38:31

would never be a republican for all

38:33

the reasons I never have been a

38:35

republicans. And then they got worse because

38:37

they don't believe in the emergency in

38:39

my view of climate change and they

38:41

don't believe in democracy anymore which is

38:43

the big one I'm in in New

38:45

York. This week when I was doing

38:47

the interviews, they kept asking me. What?

38:51

Would you? Mean. It was the most

38:53

important question you would ask in. they're going

38:55

to have debates known and debates and it's

38:57

only one question. Will. You concede

39:00

power. Will. You can see you

39:02

lost an election and we see. I

39:05

mean, I was the one from

39:07

the beginning when nobody else was

39:09

saying it that Trump would never

39:11

concede losing a license and now

39:13

you see that all the people

39:15

who are descending for his vice

39:17

presidency. Also will not do

39:19

it because they ask them questions will

39:22

you can see if you lose the

39:24

election and their answer is it Republicans

39:26

A always gets they must get together

39:28

in a secret underground lair of his

39:30

and they can't They don't need to

39:32

maybe us troops and they get one

39:34

answer and that answer is oh I

39:36

well as it's a free and fair

39:38

election which is another way of saying

39:40

now ah elections on the couch when

39:42

we when them is is and that

39:44

is just a terrible dangerous place with

39:46

this country debates. So obviously I think.

39:49

And have always said and tried to

39:51

be clear about the fact that the

39:53

Republicans are the greater threat. That doesn't

39:55

mean that there isn't a lot a

39:57

tramp on. Use my stuff on the

39:59

other side. And by the way, this

40:01

the most threatening thing about the goofy

40:03

stuff on the left is it. It's

40:05

what drives people to vote for the

40:07

right to set a lot of people

40:09

in the middle and even on the

40:12

right will tell you we don't like

40:14

Trump, but we are more afraid of

40:16

other stuff because it's much more. Direct

40:19

in their life. Like their kids coming

40:21

home from school saying things that they

40:23

don't think they should be taught in

40:25

schools. Stuff like that, people don't. Really

40:28

A apropos To our discussion of. Why

40:30

I do this as opposed as

40:32

as well as doing real time.

40:34

Most people just don't follow politics

40:36

of the and when they even

40:38

if they vote it's not based

40:40

on politics is and issues. I

40:42

mean Biden has done a lot

40:44

of good things privacy the last

40:46

season and it does not seem

40:49

to matter. He cannot buy their

40:51

love with Met A matter how

40:53

many student loans he he pays

40:55

off, he cannot buy their love

40:57

with how much he does for

40:59

climate at. Him We came out of

41:01

the pandemic better than any other country

41:03

in the world. It does not seem

41:06

to matter a day, vote on other

41:08

issues and other things that are in

41:10

their mind and things that are directly

41:12

in their lives. The price of eggs

41:14

and Does Is my kid gonna come

41:17

home wearing a dress I couldn't imagine.

41:19

A Civil Wars said it better to sewn on

41:21

admiral. Unfortunately, a lot of people can.

41:23

Sit what is biden to do If the

41:25

if this is the situation he can't buy

41:27

love. He can't get people to see some

41:29

of the good things he's done. It

41:32

doesn't see are equal. What's happening between

41:34

the two candidates? Not. It's

41:37

not logical, people aren't logical.

41:39

It's not fair because Trump

41:41

is almost as old, but he

41:43

doesn't present as old. He

41:45

looks like spitting of amen. A lot. He looks

41:47

like that vibrant oh man on the line Twelve

41:49

that vibrancy to on the Amazon. Alone with he'll

41:51

say no yeah I am a man. Us:

41:53

it's in Alpha. Some biden seems like the

41:56

guys moving slowly to the cafeteria. Trump is

41:58

a crazy person yelling, where's the point. Yeah,

42:00

credit crazy buddies. Crazy Loony is energetic.

42:03

You know people look at you and

42:05

him but a second day size you

42:07

up without even thinking of it consciously.

42:10

Doctor Joyce Brothers used to say i

42:12

must choose to say you know when

42:14

you see some and of didn't say

42:17

this way. I'm going to say this

42:19

makes you know you want to fuck

42:21

them within seven seconds upset and I

42:24

used as a nice to think it

42:26

takes you seven seconds. The outlet is

42:28

expected to me one second. And

42:31

it's kind of the same way. With. Old

42:34

you just somebody immediately strikes

42:36

you as old more. They

42:39

don't trump, just presents as

42:41

robust And it's said this

42:44

detriment of the country. Who.

42:49

The That enemy. Every

43:03

week that a question. From an outside experts camps

43:05

at a plant for you. Hi.

43:07

I'm Mary House and editor of

43:09

the Teo. My question for Bill

43:11

is you have been a strong

43:13

vocal some might say blinds supporter

43:15

of Israel and it's pretty brutal

43:17

war on Gaza. What I'm wondering

43:19

is why as a self professed

43:21

liberal, do you just ignore and

43:23

disregard the testimony on Gaza of

43:26

every major human rights group in

43:28

the world? Human Rights Watch, Amnesty,

43:30

International, Physicians for Human Rights, Reporters

43:32

Without Borders, Bet Salem and it

43:34

remains is own agency in the

43:36

world? Oxfam, Save The Children Refugees.

43:38

International Doctors Without Borders International

43:40

Rescue. And every major Un

43:42

Aid agency. In the World Unicef, The

43:44

U N H C R The World

43:47

Food Programme led by Cindy Mccain of

43:49

all people. Why do you ignore all

43:51

of them and believe instead Benjamin Netanyahu?

43:54

bizarre little smokers and it mob and

43:56

give us and than Israeli military this

43:58

been caught lying again. And again

44:00

and again. I'm. Just

44:03

wondering. How. Do you justify that?

44:05

Have the question is so games against Calls

44:07

since I was protesting the war in Gaza

44:09

will be say to her son who is

44:11

pointing out that the vast majority people. Who

44:14

are being killed are women

44:17

and children? Okay, well it's

44:19

a complex absolutely situation. No

44:21

one wants to see anyone

44:23

killed, especially women and children.

44:25

I'm and more is pretty

44:27

rust's from. The. Cpu and

44:29

all those. Agencies he

44:31

named. I'm not that familiar with exactly what

44:33

they said. Here's the question I have for

44:36

anyone who has this kind of question: Do

44:38

you think Hamas should be destroyed? A mass

44:40

Is a terrorist organization? They've been named that

44:42

by the United States government since Way bang.

44:45

We're in agreement that this guy was a

44:47

new didn't need to be destroyed. Yes, Okay,

44:49

great. I think they do, because after all,

44:51

it is in their charter that they want

44:54

to wipe out Israel Completely. I mean they

44:56

say it. Over. And over again

44:58

they're not hiding it. They don't want

45:00

to hide it since they were given

45:03

that land back in two thousand and

45:05

Five Stay could have done something very,

45:07

very different with it's they've started five

45:09

wars. they took taken a lot of

45:11

that aid that some of those groups

45:14

I'm sure it sent their way and

45:16

they did nothing with it except build

45:18

panels and import bombs and rockets to

45:20

use on Israel started five worse, including

45:22

that last really nasty one. So the

45:25

idea that they should be destroyed because

45:27

after. All they do believe in

45:29

genocide, but the truth is that

45:31

one side hamas wants to commit

45:34

genocide and they can't and the

45:36

other side could and they don't.

45:39

if you don't see the moral difference

45:41

there i'm sorry my friend whoever you

45:44

are since i think you'd have to

45:46

look harder so if we agree that

45:48

hamas needs to be destroyed them bridges

45:50

asking how how can it be done

45:52

and we don't know because we're not

45:55

the israeli defense forces i don't know

45:57

how you wipe out of mosques i

45:59

sensed I know that they have

46:01

been wiped out by, I think, first of

46:03

all it's a terrorist army. So

46:05

I think they had 24 brigades

46:08

and I think they've wiped out like 20 of

46:10

them. So now we're at the

46:12

end game with this area called Rafah. Okay.

46:16

Well, I would think that they would

46:18

have to continue that if they're going to wipe out

46:21

Hamas. Again, people in war

46:23

get killed. It's horrible. Israel

46:25

is the only country that gets attacked

46:27

and then is asked to stop. No.

46:30

When they get attacked, it's a war. When they fight

46:32

back, it's a war crime. Here's a

46:35

real simple solution to this. Stop

46:37

attacking Israel. Are we done? Yes,

46:41

that's your answer. That's my answer. Do

46:44

you respond to the idea of people

46:46

watching it? And I do think it's different

46:48

now in seeing this in real time on

46:50

social media, constantly in your

46:52

faces, changes. Of course. We

46:55

often wonder if we could have done World War II. Of

46:57

course. They both fight the

46:59

Nazis with visuals that we bombing

47:01

Dresden, bombing this, bombing women in

47:03

Germany. Yes, absolutely. Maybe there should be

47:05

more films of stuff that goes on

47:07

in the world that we're not seeing

47:09

that the kids and not

47:11

all the kids, of course, just the ones who

47:13

are protesting. That's your new thing. Not all the

47:15

kids. No, not all. But a

47:17

lot of them are for that side. Suddenly, I mean,

47:21

curiously, they're not concerned about

47:23

Boko Haram, which kidnaps

47:25

whole villages of women. They're not concerned

47:28

about the Chinese, who have

47:30

put the Uyghurs by the

47:32

millions in concentration camps. North

47:35

Korea starves its people. A number

47:37

of African countries openly say that

47:39

we should kill gay people just for being

47:42

gay. They're so concerned about

47:44

apartheid. There is a giant

47:46

gender apartheid going on in the world

47:48

right now. If you want a cause,

47:51

why don't you take up that one? All

47:53

right. Last question. Biden, Trump, 2024. You

47:57

and I both said that Trump wasn't going to sit by and accept

47:59

the results. If you like I

48:01

said early to I thought that think

48:03

right now when you're looking at the

48:05

selection. You. Know you had Urged Biden

48:07

declared he's not stepping down. The. Road he would

48:10

talk to Russia is Ruth Bader Burden for. What

48:12

is going to happen here from your perspective?

48:14

where do you imagine and I knew a

48:16

lot of people have sought to pass as

48:18

a democracy. It's is at stake in the

48:20

last chapter Book you write never forget a

48:22

single shining to buy democracy means sharing the

48:25

country with asshole as he can't stand but

48:27

that chapters called civil War easy so I'd

48:29

like it that he and and and at

48:31

the same time at the very. Last night

48:33

and stuff. Yeah, you're dancing in against right

48:35

to avoid it. Or I got our it's

48:37

that. The last thing is you can't close

48:39

as a patriot if you can't say. United

48:42

flight. It's the United States or

48:44

mean for. How can you be united

48:46

when this is the situation? I'm saying there

48:48

were people calling for Civil War thunder,

48:51

A people calling for a national divorce,

48:53

and I'm saying that's impractical and undesirable

48:55

that you have to understand that you're

48:57

sharing the countries with ass holes you

48:59

can stand. I'm talking to both sides.

49:01

they are could both sides will be

49:03

other side's bunch of ass holes. special

49:05

place. It's okay, it's a big

49:07

country, we don't have the like everybody

49:10

in it, but we have to come

49:12

to some sort of way of living

49:14

together where we're not at each other's

49:16

throats and we're not. Talking

49:19

constantly above may be coming to blows

49:21

which on a national level mean serious

49:23

violence And it can happen here. I

49:25

go into the thing about in Sarajevo

49:27

and will happen in the Balkans a

49:29

means they have the eleven Years in

49:32

Sarajevo and Nineteen Eighty Four and it

49:34

was a very civilized place and the

49:36

crow. Ads in the Muslims and the

49:38

Serbs they all live together and then

49:40

within a few years it was a

49:42

house cape. And. Diverse

49:44

snipers shooting at people when they left

49:47
