Welcome to an HBO podcast from the

1:02

HBO late night series, Real Time with

1:04

Bill Maule. Thank

1:38

you very much.

1:41

I appreciate

1:46

it. Thank you. Thank you for

1:50

coming. We have a great show. I appreciate

1:54

that. Okay,

1:57

very exciting night. And

2:04

what a political week. I think I know why

2:06

you're happy. We have proof of life. Did

2:11

you see the State of the Union last night? I thought Joe

2:14

was pretty good. I

2:17

don't know about the Union, but the State of the

2:19

President is feisty. Whatever

2:23

they're slipping in his metamucil seems to be

2:25

working because he was up for it last

2:27

night. The

2:35

Republicans expected the caricature

2:37

of Joe Biden to show up. And a different

2:40

guy showed up. And you could tell

2:42

they were thrown off their game by this because on Fox

2:44

News they weren't going on about his age. They were going

2:46

on that he was too loud. I'm

2:50

not making that too loud. So

2:58

who sounds like an old fuck now? Turn

3:02

it down in there. You're too loud. And

3:05

of course, I guess we're just this country now.

3:07

He was heckled throughout the night. This

3:10

is just who we are now. Margarique Taylor Greene

3:12

did a lot of it as her role

3:15

as America's embarrassing cousin. On

3:25

her schedule tonight is getting drunk at a

3:27

wedding and blowing the DJ. No,

3:34

they were so rude. The first

3:36

time we've seen Lauren Boebert do this

3:38

without an actual dick in her hand.

3:44

Oh,

3:48

they do keep coming up with them, don't they? You've got

3:50

to give that to the Republican Party. There's

3:53

a new star, though. Move over,

3:55

Margarie and Lauren Boebert. We now have

3:57

Katie Britt. She did the rebuttal. There's

4:00

always a rebuttal. So if you didn't see it, I'm just

4:03

going to show you about 20, 30 seconds of it. And

4:05

you make up your own mind. Here's Katie Britt last night.

4:08

Mr. President, enough

4:11

is enough. It's been enough since

4:13

Joe Biden pumped gas. The

4:16

free world deserves better

4:19

than a dithering and

4:21

diminished leader. Bidenomics is

4:23

working and we stand.

4:26

It's you. But how many

4:28

times a day she was

4:30

raped, our families are

4:33

hurting. Goodness, y'all, blesses

4:35

hurt. So

4:45

I just want to remind you of daylight saving times. Stars

4:48

this Sunday. So it'll be an hour

4:51

later when the cuckoo bird flies out

4:53

of her head. Republican.

5:02

Republican, they do this all the time.

5:04

They introduce us to their new rising

5:06

star and America's like, what the fuck

5:08

was that? So

5:15

here's what I learned about Katie Britt because

5:18

I didn't know I'd never heard of her

5:20

before. She's got a husband named Wesley. She's

5:22

got kids named Bennett and Ridgway. And

5:25

she's this close to driving them all over

5:27

a cliff in a minivan. The

5:36

Republicans said they picked her because she has

5:38

school aged kids who now have to endure

5:40

taunts of your mom's a weirdo. And

5:45

you can you can tell they

5:47

wrote her speech, her rebuttal before

5:50

she even watched the actual speech

5:52

itself, because she kept referring to

5:54

Biden as weak, dithering,

5:57

diminished. And then this really hurts. She said, we

5:59

are never at. ever getting back together.

6:02

And I thought... And

6:10

I thought the fact that putting her in the kitchen was a

6:12

nice touch. I felt like I was delivering groceries and I didn't

6:14

know if she was going to kill me or fuck me. I

6:19

really... I really thought

6:21

for a minute she was going to... She's

6:24

going to walk over to the refrigerator and open it

6:26

up and there's a head in there. Anyway, we've got

6:28

a ghost child. We've got Max Wupp and Sal Palmeri.

6:32

But this is very exciting for us, Oscar

6:34

Weekend. He is the consensus greatest actor

6:37

of a generation who was currently nominated for

6:39

his tenth Oscar for Best Supporting Actor in

6:41

the film, Killers of the Flower Moon, Robert

6:43

De Niro. Thank

6:58

you. First

7:06

of all, thank you so

7:08

much for being here. I know you don't have to be

7:11

here. You don't have to be anywhere. You don't need anything.

7:13

The voting is in... You don't. You're playing

7:16

with the house money. I mean, the

7:19

voting is in, so I know you just wanted

7:21

to be here and that means the world to

7:23

me. Well, you're terrific. Thank you. I appreciate that.

7:28

So, I don't know if you... Did you see what I was

7:31

just showing of Katie Britt? As

7:33

the greatest actor, could you... Could

7:38

you critique her acting technique a little? Because I thought it

7:40

might have been a little over the top. No,

7:44

I saw it this morning and I

7:48

don't understand why they would even have someone like

7:50

her do it. I mean, it's...

7:57

It was so lame. Yeah,

8:04

that's a good word for it. All right, well,

8:07

speaking of acting, I just

8:09

want to go through, I'm going to speed read

8:11

this. Go ahead, whatever you want

8:14

to do. Honestly,

8:16

because, you know, I've said this many times to

8:18

actors here, I judge actors not just by how

8:20

they act, because I think you would admit, as

8:23

great as you are, other actors are great too, they

8:25

could do the roles. I judge them also by what

8:27

scripts they pick, like

8:29

the intelligence to pick the right script. And

8:32

I just went through your list. I just, these are not even

8:34

all of them, but Godfather, Taxi

8:36

Driver, Deer Hunter, Raging Bull, King

8:39

of Comedy, Once Upon a Time

8:41

in America, Untouchables, Midnight Run, Awakenings,

8:43

Goodfellas, Cape Fear, Bronx Tale, Boys

8:45

Life, Heat, Casino, Wag the Dog,

8:47

Jackie Brown, Ronin, Analyzes, Meet the

8:50

Fockers, The Good Shepherd, Silver

8:52

Linings Playbook, Dirty Grandpa, Joker, The Irishman,

8:54

Killers at the Flower Moon. It's a

8:56

little greedy. A lot

8:59

of all

9:04

of it is because you just chose great

9:06

movies. I mean, to have that many movies

9:09

that everybody always loves. What's

9:12

behind that? What goes into what

9:14

you choose? No, those

9:16

are films that I see

9:19

the possibility in. Some I've been involved

9:21

with from the inception. They're

9:25

all just movies that I

9:28

felt that

9:30

were worthy. I've done some not good ones.

9:34

I think I have a pretty good average, by the

9:36

way. That's what I'm saying. A very high batting average.

9:39

Very few turkeys in there. So

9:41

I just, I don't know,

9:44

I just pick certain things.

9:46

I mean, that's what I

9:48

feel are good. They're

9:51

either well written or smart

9:53

or something or the director has been more.

9:56

If it's Corsacci, I just go with him no matter what he's

9:58

going to do. Do

10:05

you have any, were there any parts that you

10:07

turned down ever that you could have done that?

10:10

The only one that I didn't, I

10:14

was taking so long to think about it,

10:17

was the famous

10:19

one that

10:23

Anthony Hopkins wound up doing. Nixon?

10:26

No, no. It was with Jonathan Demme. Oh,

10:34

Silence of the Lambs. Yes, Silence of the

10:36

Lambs. You could have been Anthony Hopkins?

10:38

I could have played that part, but I waited so

10:40

long and I was thinking, I should just give me

10:42

a little longer, and the next thing he said, I'm

10:44

going to, he just casted it, he didn't even tell,

10:46

the way I remembered it. That

10:49

was why I don't regret it, it's just, that's

10:52

what happened. Right. And

10:54

I see you, you've only directed two, but

10:56

they were both really good, Good Shepherd, only

10:59

a big favorite of mine. Thank you.

11:01

About the CIA. Yeah. Really

11:03

subtle, smart, entertaining, and boys life

11:05

also. Terrific. Why,

11:08

why only boys life? Boys

11:14

life, I didn't direct, I directed Bront's Tale. Oh,

11:16

Bront's Tale. And also, but why,

11:19

why only still? Why,

11:21

you never found, you

11:23

never found another one, all those

11:25

years that you wanted to, that compelled you to

11:27

direct? It's a lot of work to direct a

11:29

movie. And

11:33

I love doing it, it's just that,

11:36

and even Bront's Tale, I said, I better

11:39

do something because I wanted to direct, and

11:41

I finally saw Chaz Palmitary, the one man

11:43

show out here, then in New York, and

11:45

finally we got it ready to

11:47

do, and I committed to it and did it the

11:49

way I made it my own, as you can, as

11:51

you say, when you do a film

11:54

or what, even a part, you make

11:56

it your own, you personalize it more so it

11:58

becomes more. specific. And

12:02

so I was very happy about it. I

12:05

had a way that I wanted to do it. I wanted to

12:08

do it with kids who were not

12:10

actors, because nobody could do that world

12:13

that was an actor. You had to use

12:15

the kids from that world and

12:17

have them work with them

12:19

on the scenes, improvise, just give them the

12:22

beginning, middle, end of the scene. They go

12:24

through it, they improvise. So that's why.

12:26

The Good Shepherd, I've always been

12:29

fascinated by the intelligence world. I'm

12:32

a child of the Cold War, if you will. You

12:35

look great for being one. I

12:38

know. I mean, I have

12:42

to get on to the age issue, but we should,

12:44

because you're basically the same age as Biden. I

12:47

am. Yeah, I'm 80. He's 82 or 81, I think, right? Okay.

12:52

We're the same. For

12:54

all practical purposes. I

12:58

don't know if it's the Italian skin, whatever. Oh,

13:00

I know. You still

13:02

can play these parts. I mean,

13:04

Dirty Grandpa. Yes, great. I love

13:06

it. But,

13:09

I mean, now you're entering a new

13:11

decade. Look, I'm punching 70 in the

13:14

mouth. Oh, that's it, yeah. Yeah, well,

13:16

any advice? No. I'm looking.

13:18

Just keep going. Yeah, just

13:20

keep going. Well, that's my question. Can you keep

13:22

going? I hope I

13:25

can. You know, I'm

13:27

very busy. I enjoy

13:29

it. I don't

13:32

mind it. I keep going, because I know

13:34

if you don't keep going, you're going

13:36

to atrophy, and you're going to dry up.

13:38

And I don't want to do that.

13:40

So I'm just trying to keep as busy as I can.

13:43

So what did you think of Biden last night? I mean,

13:45

I thought... I thought he was great. Yeah, I did say.

13:53

And I, you know,

13:55

this whole thing about him and his age,

13:57

it's all nonsense from the Republicans, and even

13:59

from... our party. The bottom line

14:01

is it's Biden versus Trump. We want to

14:04

live in a world that we want to

14:06

live and enjoy living in or live in

14:08

a nightmare. Vote for Trump and

14:10

you'll get the nightmare. Vote for Biden and

14:12

you'll be back to normalcy.

14:23

So why is Trump winning? I mean the poll, the

14:25

New York Times poll this week came out and maybe

14:27

this will change it with the State of the Union

14:29

address but it was but Trump was beating him rather

14:31

soundly. It was quite a warning light 48 to 43

14:33

also winning way more among women than

14:38

he had before winning outright

14:40

Latinos. What do you attribute that

14:43

to? I don't know.

14:45

I just don't want to feel the

14:47

way I did and many

14:49

of us don't after the

14:52

election in 19 in

14:54

2016 where

14:57

we couldn't believe that it happened. The

15:00

guy is a total monster and

15:03

anybody, I don't understand it. I guess

15:05

they get behind that kind of logic.

15:07

They want to fuck with people,

15:10

screw them because they're unhappy about something.

15:12

He's such a mean nasty

15:14

hateful person. I'd

15:17

never play him as an actor because

15:20

I can't see any good in him. Nothing.

15:24

Nothing at all. Nothing redeemable in him

15:29

and whoever the people are

15:31

who want to vote for him and there

15:33

look like intelligent people around there. For some

15:35

reason it can't be. It

15:38

cannot be. If he

15:41

wins the election, he

15:43

you won't be on the show anymore. He'll come

15:45

looking for me. There'll

15:49

be things that happen that none

15:52

of us can imagine. That's

15:54

what happens in that kind of a dictatorship which

15:57

is what he says. Let's believe him. Take him

15:59

out as well. work. I did from

16:01

the beginning. Yeah. I mean I said from

16:03

the very beginning this guy is never going

16:05

to concede power and he still hasn't. No.

16:07

He still hasn't. He just admitted he lost

16:09

the last election and he advertises that he

16:11

will go on. He says he's been cheated

16:13

out of one term so maybe we should

16:15

get rid of the only, the president only

16:17

gets two terms thing. So.

16:19

He's a sociopathic, psychopathic

16:23

malignant narcissist. He

16:35

is a dangerous person. Did we

16:37

have to real people. I have

16:39

a lot of people this audience

16:41

but the people who somehow

16:43

think he's going to be the answer to their

16:45

prayers whatever those are. Did you know him? I

16:48

tell a New Yorker. Never wanted to know him. Never

16:51

wanted to know. You must have crossed. He

16:54

was an idiot. He was a

17:00

clown. He was a clown in New

17:03

York and New

17:06

Yorkers say you know some would go with him

17:08

of course people who work in what he does

17:10

some of them but he's

17:14

a classic bully. If

17:17

you had a schoolyard and he walked in

17:19

and he had his bully friends around the

17:21

other people decide whether they want to oppose

17:23

him or they want to let him just

17:25

tell him what to do and own that

17:27

the schoolyard or the basketball court or whatever

17:29

it is. He's got to

17:31

be stopped. But even bullies have

17:33

to trade on something that people

17:36

feel and his big

17:39

message the last time was the American carnage

17:42

it must stop. He said everything that he

17:44

did himself that he's responsible for. It's all

17:46

a projection of who he you know that

17:48

yes of course. But I do see that

17:51

the governor of New York now is putting

17:53

the National Guard in the subway. What's in

17:55

New York. What do you think of that. What do you think they'd say

17:57

if he did it. Well if he did

17:59

it is for another reason. Her doing

18:01

it, I haven't heard about it, they

18:03

just told me just before. But

18:07

I don't know, I don't have an answer for that.

18:09

I'm not happy about it. But crime in New York,

18:12

I mean, you know something about that. Well,

18:15

I don't think it. You've played it, it's

18:17

happened to you. I

18:20

don't have such organized crime. I'm

18:28

sorry to hear that and I hope, I

18:30

don't know, whatever I can do to

18:33

help alleviate that situation. I don't

18:35

know. I can't. Well, I think

18:37

people feel like there's a lack of common sense

18:39

on the left and the right. Would you at

18:41

least agree with that? I would agree with that.

18:43

Right. And that that gives him a

18:46

giant opening. I

18:48

think what we saw from this week,

18:50

especially with Super Tuesday, is the Democrats

18:52

seem to be moderating. They're

18:54

back on the crime issue. All

18:57

the excesses, say, from 2020, they seem to

18:59

be pulling back on, whereas the other party

19:01

is going even more bonkers. Well, they're just,

19:04

they'll do anything and we'll see a lot

19:06

worse as time goes on. I think

19:09

because he's behind it, it'll go as low

19:12

as anything we could ever imagine. And beyond

19:14

that, that's what's so concerning

19:17

and upsetting. The

19:20

bottom line is we have to, Biden's

19:23

our guy. He represents

19:25

what this country is supposed to be about.

19:29

And Trump is, you

19:31

see, we all see. Not this audience,

19:33

but. Well,

19:36

I'll let you go. I know you're probably on a set.

19:43

Wait, I'm not finished. Oh, OK. Are

19:54

you going to go to the parties this weekend or are you

19:56

going to be out celebrating until? I don't

19:58

know. Yeah. Good

20:01

luck on Sunday. If you win, do you think

20:03

it'll get you more acting work? It

20:07

could open up some doors for you. Well, it

20:09

might actually. Well,

20:12

you're great in it, Killers. It's a great

20:14

movie. It's a... I

20:20

just wanted to say, it's a... It's

20:22

a real morality play, that movie. And

20:25

a morality play needs a bad guy.

20:28

And, you know, you can't do the play. Yes.

20:31

And you are not afraid to take that on. No. For

20:34

that one and all of them. Thank you very much. Thank you. Good

20:37

to see you. Let us in

20:39

the water. All right, let's get on

20:41

top of it. He

20:52

is a fellow at the Modern Moore Institute at

20:54

West Point, an author of the upcoming short story

20:56

Tiger Chair, a tale of China's future war,

20:58

Max Brooks. A

21:01

returning champion. He

21:03

is the senior political correspondent at Puck, a

21:06

host of the Ringers. Somebody's got to win

21:08

podcasts. Tara Palmeri, how are you? Great to

21:10

see you. Okay.

21:14

Can we talk a little State of the Union? I

21:17

thought it was, as most people are saying,

21:19

even the polls now say the audience liked

21:21

it, the general public kind of liked it.

21:24

They didn't think Biden could be quite

21:26

that feisty. I saw the criticism was, a lot of

21:28

it was that it was a campaign speech. I

21:30

think Joe finally got the memo that,

21:33

yeah, we can't be friends anymore. Remember when he first

21:35

got to Washington, it was like, my friends in the

21:37

Senate. And that Senate, that's his happy

21:39

place. You know he loves being there. Yeah.

21:43

But he gets it now. It's a campaign

21:45

speech, they said. He's like, fuck right, it's

21:47

a campaign speech. Is

21:49

that how you would... Yeah, absolutely. There

21:53

was something buried in his speech that I think needs to get a lot more

21:55

play when he talks about

21:57

billionaires paying their fair share. Remember

22:00

when Obama tried to say you didn't build that

22:02

and got shouted down? He should have doubled

22:04

down because there is a bond

22:06

between the state and the marketplace.

22:09

And Biden said it perfectly, because it's

22:12

not that we don't want Bezos to make billions

22:14

of dollars. We do. But

22:16

he can only make his billions because his trucks drive

22:19

on roads that I pay for,

22:21

that his workforce is educated in public

22:23

schools, that I pay for, that his

22:26

drivers got driver's licenses and DMV's that

22:28

I pay for. And the cops

22:30

that protect his vans that I pay for and

22:32

the entire global supply chain is

22:34

protected by the United States military

22:37

that I, the taxpayer, pay for.

22:39

So I am paying my fair

22:41

share and all I want is

22:43

for billionaires to pay theirs. So

22:54

I mean, from my perspective, I think, you

22:56

know, obviously, Joe Biden made a lot of

22:58

great points like poorly in a election year.

23:00

But I think a lot of people were

23:02

actually really watching for style, probably even more

23:04

than substance because they wanted to know that

23:06

this person, that if you're watching any sort

23:08

of like right wing media Fox News, you

23:11

think he's a zombie. And he

23:13

essentially showed you, I am not a zombie.

23:15

I have a brain. I

23:17

can speak. I can even ad lib. I can interact with

23:19

Marjorie Kelly Green. Right. Right.

23:22

And yeah, he's of course, some of the words

23:24

were garbled, but it's an hour speech. Like who

23:26

can do that anyway? Right. I think

23:30

the most Americans just wanted

23:32

to see their president. And I think as

23:34

long as he can keep doing that and he's

23:36

continuing today, he's in Pennsylvania, he's on his anti-zombie

23:38

tour and like. And

23:50

let's be clear when we talk about, you know,

23:52

when the pundits and the press talk about ageism,

23:54

it's not ageism. It's weakism. Right.

23:56

And it's a perception of weakness and it taps

23:59

into the. sick, primitive, scared monkey

24:01

caveman DNA that's in us. Right?

24:03

So when we look at him, we go,

24:05

ooh, chief weak, he no hunt mammoth. We

24:07

no eat. Ah, geez. And

24:10

that's really what they're talking about. And the people

24:12

who know better need to cut that out.

24:14

Because if he was so weak, how could

24:17

he accomplish more in three years than every

24:19

other president in the last 50? Last

24:23

50? Oh, yeah. The

24:25

last 50 years. But he doesn't

24:27

get the credit for it, because he doesn't know

24:29

how to use a bully pulpit. He used it

24:31

last night. And I'll actually think Katie Britt did

24:33

him a huge service, because she showed that experience

24:36

actually does matter. I mean. I mean. OK.

24:38

OK. OK. OK. OK. OK.

24:40

Yeah. Where? Uh.

24:44

Where have they been hiding her? Ah.

24:47

Alabama. And, uh, how do we

24:50

close that border? Ah. Ah. Ah.

24:54

But, you know, that's. But. She's

24:56

a great example of what it's like to live

24:58

in a dictatorship, because we're all making fun of her,

25:00

but she wasn't talking to us. She was talking to

25:03

Trump. And that's what you get when you turn

25:05

on Russian state TV. They're talking

25:07

directly to Putin. And so that's what

25:09

it's like to live in a dictatorship.

25:11

She's only performing for one person. OK.

25:14

Yeah. I was going

25:16

to say, and I think

25:19

based on my reporting at Puck, she

25:21

may have failed at that, because no,

25:23

seriously. Well. Trump has a

25:25

crash, a cash crunch right now. He needs money.

25:28

And Republican, normie, donors, they looked at her,

25:30

and they thought she is the future of

25:32

the Republican Party. She is a woman who

25:34

could appeal to moderate swing-boating women. And

25:37

they are all behind her, the Paul Singers,

25:39

the Ken Griffins, the big money guys. They

25:41

would feel comfortable supporting her. And Trump knows that,

25:44

because they aren't supporting Trump yet. So Trump saw

25:46

her with a lot of appeal. But for Trump,

25:48

presentation and performance is even more important. And in

25:50

a lot of ways, in politics, it is. And

25:52

she's kind of proven that she can't sell things.

25:55

Like, I don't believe that she believed what she was

25:57

saying. And I don't. know

26:00

how I don't see the

26:02

picture and I've heard my reporting

26:04

suggests from MAGA World and from you

26:07

know Mar-a-Lago that they weren't impressed either.

26:09

No it looked like a first year acting

26:11

student trying to get into the

26:14

Lee Strasburg school. I've

26:17

never seen it. I mean they've had some

26:19

really bad ones. Who was the dude? He

26:21

kept drinking. Jindal. No uh.

26:24

Oh Bobby Jindal. He was bad too. That

26:26

was Rubio. Rubio. Rubio. You know but this

26:29

was just something really different. No

26:31

I don't know. But I will say

26:33

this. I just hate the

26:35

fact that nobody can let anything pass in

26:37

this country without getting partisan about it. Like

26:39

the fact that she was in the kitchen.

26:42

That's all I heard on MSNBC. They're in

26:45

the kitchen. Like they want women back in

26:47

the kitchen. Okay I have a kitchen. Yeah.

26:49

Everybody has a goddamn kitchen. It's not about

26:51

the kitchen. They were leaning into the mom

26:53

thing. Well I mean it's just you and

26:56

then on the other side I see that

26:58

when he was sparring Joe

27:01

about the illegal immigration and he called

27:03

somebody an illegal. Oh

27:06

yeah. Nancy Pelosi she said well there

27:08

you should call them undocumented. But it's

27:10

not a big deal. Right. Because Elon

27:12

Omar said no human is

27:14

illegal. Oh drama much.

27:17

You know. And

27:19

I thought that this

27:22

is where the Democrat party should go

27:24

if they want to win. It's no

27:26

big deal. Stop taking the

27:28

bait. Stop making an issue to every

27:30

goddamn thing. Because

27:37

if I guess what let me recap what I

27:39

think with Joe. I think he just

27:41

said I'm with the normies. He

27:44

challenged the border. Let's not fight

27:46

about it. Let's fix it. Putin's

27:48

bad. School shootings are bad. And

27:50

vitro's good. Abortions

27:52

personal. Potato chips cost too

27:54

much. And

27:57

Israel with his hat. You

28:01

know a more normal as you somebody had

28:03

told him with abby gate like nobody without

28:05

a decoder right knows what this means is

28:07

a reference to Afghanistan which in the right

28:09

wing bubble is I have worse they said

28:11

i think most Americans in Afghanistan yes he

28:13

didn't stick the landing but he pulled the

28:15

band aid or but since the darkest day

28:17

in American history as it on the gives

28:19

the best presidents of the years I didn't

28:21

wear your well. Now what I'm getting it

28:23

is an Obama care itself A bigger thing

28:25

know it is a big thing but what

28:27

he's doing is he is the first long

28:29

term president. In my lifetime, or

28:31

every president. That even the ones I like

28:33

have always. Had this message of if you

28:35

vote for me you're going to have a

28:37

great now today. By. His attitude,

28:40

Is I'm gonna live to see half

28:42

the fruits of my labor. But

28:44

your kids and your grand kids are.

28:46

Going to live in a better world

28:48

sees the better tomorrow. President, the chips,

28:50

the reinvest realizing the infrastructure. None of

28:52

this is going to show instant results,

28:55

but there has not been a president

28:57

like this since. F B R. I

29:06

do think it was smart for democrats so in

29:08

a speech to really limit lean into immigration and

29:10

crime because that is going to be the a

29:12

ceiling Twenty Twenty four yeah I'm an economy it'll

29:14

and like the fact that you could get down

29:16

to brass tacks like actual number think it was

29:18

almost like he was going to a spreadsheet of

29:20

this is how much my you could say publicly

29:22

you know this is a kind of thing that

29:24

people wanting here but I do think democrats are

29:26

really behind after it's like you said your the

29:28

deep on the police and now it's been a

29:30

had a huge impact and it spreads out of

29:32

the suburbs and that's how the republicans won the

29:34

house And Twenty Twenty. Two. Because. Of

29:37

crime in the suburbs and it's gonna be

29:39

immigration right? I think if is a headline

29:41

from this week. Not just the speech but also

29:43

was Super Tuesday. So. We had races.

29:46

And they did give have some results a bit

29:48

of there were down the ballot kind of thing

29:50

we're and the big headline to me is. Like.

29:52

I said bob One party is

29:55

moderating. Democrats. Got the memo.

29:57

Twenty twenty year. We went too far.

30:00

Keeping kids at school for two years,

30:03

Colleges. With two hundred the

30:05

Ai officers just great. You

30:07

know shoplifting is just justice

30:09

shopping now. Yes,

30:14

but yeah, I. Worry there

30:16

are a little late to the game while because

30:19

like to to one people think that Republicans are

30:21

better with crime migration. Okay well now you're an

30:23

election year and I are trying to like switch

30:25

the stuff that the I'm. A put the

30:27

National Guard new subway. Yet, are you happy

30:29

And so he seems like an over correction by

30:31

it's was. But that's the thing is it's I

30:33

would. Argue that instead of over correcting

30:36

it's baby stepping into the moderate rational

30:38

middle. Instead of what we've been ping pong,

30:40

In between for decades which

30:42

has been over correcting rights

30:45

these these progressive policies essentially

30:47

decriminalize crime. They were

30:49

a knee jerk over correction for the

30:51

over incarceration, the militarizing the police of

30:54

the eighties and nineties which was itself

30:56

and over correction for the ballooning crime

30:58

of the sixties and seventies which was

31:00

itself and over correction. Four Races police

31:03

brutality which had been going on since

31:05

like. Fourteen Ninety Two.

31:09

Weeks between. It's either smash and grab

31:11

or stop and frisk and we can't

31:13

keep living like that. And right Democrats

31:15

seem to want to say okay, Public

31:18

safety is a priority. How do we

31:20

do this without electing. The next generation

31:22

of Rudy Giuliani. Rival

31:30

share sermon Cisco. known as the

31:32

most progressive city. like every day

31:34

there are part of this would

31:36

happen the other night they changed

31:38

on a couple of important things.

31:40

Welfare recipients have to be drug

31:42

tested though and the cops can

31:44

chase you again if you're bad.

31:46

Wow. So

31:51

the services go follicle. San Francisco

31:53

can no longer be called a

31:56

progressive city. Oh shut of yeah,

31:58

Hot well. I guess. Well

32:03

you know this is a mistake we

32:05

made in the late seventies when the

32:07

welfare state was showing cracks right? crime

32:09

was on the rise, things were not

32:11

working out and the democrats double down

32:13

and just threw money at the problem

32:15

and shamed anybody who tried to complain.

32:17

And as a result, America just turned and

32:19

I'm seeing this in my neighborhood. I live

32:21

in a neighborhood that. Was so progressive when

32:24

I moved in. I be like own a

32:26

Che Guevara teacher just to live there. I

32:29

was to the right. Of them And now I'm to

32:32

the left and I haven't changed. they house and

32:34

we're not just talking about. Like well to

32:36

do whities. were talking about working class

32:38

people because we have to this with

32:40

crime. It's the working class people who

32:42

suffer the most yes yet as they need the.

32:44

Parks they need. The beaches. They need

32:46

the public spaces they can't afford. Private

32:48

security in a take their kids away. And

32:51

they're the ones calling for. Say that, the

32:53

word. I

33:00

agree with you one hundred percent. I think

33:02

that is, while are democrats are really

33:04

worried that Biden is leaning too far

33:06

into democracy and not enough into crime and

33:08

migration. Because it's hard to think about

33:10

democracy. you're afraid to leave your house.

33:12

Oh yeah, I mean, it's hard to think

33:14

about these bigger conceptual issues which we

33:17

should be yeah by at the same

33:19

time. If you don't feel, say it's personal.

33:21

I was just that. a community meeting in. My neighborhood

33:23

And there was this older African American

33:25

guy yelling at the Lapd and he

33:27

said how is that fair The you

33:29

can come into my house anytime you.

33:32

Want looking for drugs but you can't

33:34

go into the van that's been parked

33:36

outside my house for the last year.

33:38

How? We wrap fair. I

33:45

he'll jerk off two invisible guys.

37:29

That's our favorite video.

37:38

So, one more thing about the State of the

37:41

Union. I think the strategy that Joe Biden should

37:43

employ if he wants to win this election is

37:45

just to come out every once in a while. You

37:48

know, when I first said he was going to be

37:50

Ruth Bader Biden and I still think that may be

37:52

the possibility, I think we still would do better with

37:54

a younger candidate. But okay, maybe

37:56

not. We'll see. He did well last night. Everybody

38:00

said, and I said, well, he can, I don't

38:02

think he's doing a bad job as president. He

38:04

can do the job. I don't think he can

38:06

win the job because it's a grueling thing to

38:08

run for president. I never said, yeah,

38:10

well, they can't do what he did last time because there

38:12

was a pandemic. Stay in his basement. Yes, he can. No

38:16

one gives a shit about that. No, you don't. The

38:18

chattering classes will talk about it and the public will

38:20

be, what do I care? I don't want to watch

38:22

this all the time anyway. I don't

38:24

need to see him every day. He doesn't need to go around

38:27

the country. Stay where you are.

38:29

Every once in a while, make a speech

38:31

like this. Yeah. You

38:35

know, hey, Trump proved

38:37

in 2016, he saved

38:39

all his money and put one big ad at

38:42

the end and people liked it better. They

38:45

weren't sick of him. And I also think

38:47

the chattering class needs to change how they

38:49

think about Biden. Personally, I like that he's

38:51

an old guy, right? Because

38:53

a young guy is always thinking, oh, what's my next

38:55

move? What am I going to do after this? What's my,

38:58

you know, what's my next stop? Biden's next stop is heaven.

39:07

I like that this is a

39:09

guy trying to do as much possible good

39:11

as he can before FDR taps him on

39:13

the shoulder and says, look, I got Kennedy

39:15

and Lincoln waiting in the car. Come on.

39:18

I'm not, listen, I'm

39:21

going to, I'm of course, I'm

39:24

a, you know, a working member of the press. So of

39:26

course I'm going to disagree with this. I think he should

39:28

be doing more interviews. He should be doing

39:30

press conferences. He should actually be facing the press.

39:32

No, he shouldn't. Why not? Why

39:34

do you say no to that? Because he fucks up. Well, that's

39:37

a terrible strategy. This was great. It

39:41

was on the teleprompter and once in

39:43

a while they played right into his

39:45

hands. You know, somebody heckles him. He

39:48

could riff because he's not too feeble

39:50

to do that. But being

39:52

on the campaign, I mean, come on, one bad piece

39:54

of fish. One

39:58

slip on the ice. of

40:00

the tongue which he does all the time. I mean they'll

40:02

just... But that doesn't inspire

40:04

confidence. And people want to feel confident. I

40:06

don't think they care. They'll say... You

40:08

don't think they care? I don't think they care.

40:10

You see, just very strategically see him every once

40:12

in a while in a good light. That's what

40:14

they would do if it was a show business.

40:16

Right. Right. It is a show

40:18

business. And

40:21

the longer he's out of... You're right, it

40:24

is a show business, but the longer that

40:26

he's out of the public eye, the more

40:28

the right-wing media ecosystem can continue to create

40:30

the perception that he's a zombie hiding and

40:32

there are faceless bureaucrats and lanyards that are

40:34

running the country. I think he needs to

40:36

be out there more. I think it's better to

40:38

have them say you're a zombie than to look like

40:41

one. But,

40:43

OK. So one

40:46

of the things on this week...

40:48

This struck me. He said, political

40:50

violence has no place in America.

40:53

And the reaction from the Republicans was... Yeah.

40:57

Really? We can't applaud that.

40:59

Political... There were so many moments that were just

41:01

strange. I know, but... Didn't you feel

41:03

like it was just weird? Well, I mean,

41:05

poor Kamala having to get

41:08

up and down. It reminded... It

41:13

reminded me of church. Always

41:17

having to get up and down, essentially. But

41:19

that was on purpose. Look how healthy I am. I

41:21

can get up and do down. I can do squat. I'm

41:23

ready. I'm ready. But

41:26

political violence has no place in America

41:28

and both parties can't applaud that. I

41:30

mean, I don't know where you

41:32

could go past there. And

41:35

that's got to be the strategy for winning, is

41:37

that we understand now that Trump

41:39

has a stranglehold on the right. They're gone and

41:41

they're all going to come out for him. So

41:44

we need to make sure that we come out

41:46

for our guy. And that's what's so critical.

41:48

Stop criticizing him. Stop making fun of him.

41:50

Stop trying to play both sides. Well, maybe...

41:53

No, if you want to live... It's like

41:55

De Niro said, if you want to

41:57

live in the world, Biden In

42:00

for than we need a fight for Biden. Is

42:04

usually a. On

42:10

the other topic about like seeing him more I

42:13

think the more you see him, even if he

42:15

does mess up, you'll see him so much that

42:17

it won't matter as much in the same way.

42:19

where Trump is out there all the time, like

42:21

tongue tied, Twisted Calling, Nikki Haley, Nancy Pelosi, it's

42:23

so much you're just like, oh look, it's it's

42:26

just it's there. Were is like you only see

42:28

Biden so infrequently that you're kind of like. The.

42:30

Every you can only remember all the last time

42:32

he came out was you know the much didn't

42:35

present Egypt's president. Money is like is allowed. A

42:37

rather yes And then. Show

42:43

or imagine Nikki Haley. I mean the Super

42:45

Tuesday she got You got out of the

42:48

race. Or I don't

42:50

think there's a future for her in the Republican

42:52

party now. Relief: as long as Trump is descended

42:54

on, it looks like it's gonna be for a

42:56

while. I know

42:58

it's crazy to think that she could run

43:00

with Biden. But that's. My dream? a

43:03

unity ticket and then he wouldn't. I

43:05

think. definitely win because nobody's going to.

43:07

And of course she said some crazy

43:09

things most politicians have. Not as crazy

43:12

as we've never been a races country.

43:14

I mean, it's pretty crazy. You

43:17

It is literally. The story there, pal

43:19

or the democratic base I mean paid

43:21

off the really worst African American female

43:24

by. Treasure know she's a woman of color. When.

43:27

But it's just like all and women are like

43:29

the. I got a democratic party. I

43:31

mean, what about? Okay, so not that

43:34

Mitt Romney as much as Secretary of

43:36

State, something wasn't reach across so that

43:38

we don't live in this world where

43:41

we are just where everybody sees the

43:43

other side as an existential threat. What?

43:45

That's what biting can do. Hopefully when

43:48

he wins, you can have a unity

43:50

cabinet, right? You can as moderate republicans

43:52

from the other side, because that will

43:54

also send a message republicans that if

43:57

you defy Trump, you're not lost in

43:59

the. Will. Come on in. There's room for everybody.

44:03

And that would be great. But they are. I

44:06

don't know anyone who has survived

44:08

Trump. Who what? No one survives

44:10

Trump. When he comes out against

44:12

you, if you are an elected official, you get a primary

44:15

challenger and you lose every single time. And it's just like

44:17

no one survives Trump. So maybe, yeah, you spit it out

44:19

and then you hope that Biden brings you into the cabinet

44:21

the next time around? But nobody's vanquished Nikki. I

44:24

mean, if he wins,

44:26

who in the Republican Party is left to

44:28

say no to him? I can't think of

44:30

a single person. Liz

44:34

Cheney is gone and Mitt Romney is gone.

44:36

Adam Kinzinger is gone. Yeah, they're all gone.

44:38

This is it. No one

44:40

who would not embrace the authoritarianism. Yeah,

44:44

all our fantasies about primaries, they're

44:46

all done. All right. This is what we got.

44:49

We have really sweet, nice,

44:51

wise Santa Claus old man

44:53

or we have syphilis, alcapone old

44:56

man. You

45:04

think that's syphilis for sure, right? That's a

45:07

has that been determined with either

45:09

with alcapone or Donald Trump? I

45:12

think both have been proven. So

45:15

let's talk about foreign affairs for a minute. Your

45:17

new book is about China. It's

45:19

a new short story and it's about

45:21

the coming, well, not hopefully not coming

45:23

war with China. But

45:25

it does touch on the fact that whether we

45:27

like it or not, there is a new Cold

45:30

War. It's here. We're late to the party, but

45:32

it has been happening for the last few years.

45:34

But it's not capitalism versus communism. It

45:37

is democracy versus autocracy.

45:40

And that's it. And the democracies are

45:42

lining up behind us. We're team captain

45:44

and the autocracies are lining up behind

45:46

China. They are the team captain and

45:48

we need to understand that more

45:51

so than Russia. Oh, no, no, no. Russia

45:53

is going to be a vassal of China.

45:55

China is the engine. They're the economy. They're

45:57

the population. This is why I say that

45:59

Biden. Thank God for the first time

46:01

in 20 years we have the right man in the

46:03

right place in the right time Because

46:05

he will do what about because what he's doing

46:08

right now He understands that when you're in a

46:10

clash of true civilizations, it has to be all

46:12

in it's called wholeness of nation That's got to

46:14

be the strategy that was the strategy in the

46:16

two world wars It was a strategy in the

46:18

Cold War and what that boils down to is

46:22

We have to invest in every sector

46:24

of our society to make sure every

46:26

American can be the best they can

46:28

be Because we're never gonna match China

46:30

quantity for quantity, right? We are

46:32

Ukraine versus Russia in that we have to

46:35

match their quantity with our quality or a lot

46:37

of the evil things that they do I

46:39

mean just the facial recognition alone Yeah, just

46:41

that son of security state forget about what

46:43

they're doing to the Uyghurs and Uyghurs But

46:45

don't forget about it right one of the

46:48

Silly things at the left end because everything

46:50

had to be about race in this country

46:52

was conflating any anytime you criticize China You

46:54

were racist because they're not white. Oh Really

46:57

that happened to me that happened to me

46:59

I was literally had another book coming out a few years ago

47:01

when I was talking to my my British publishers and I had

47:04

given an interview about Taiwan and

47:06

criticizing the Chinese Communist Party and they said

47:08

well, you know We've got to be careful about Asian hate.

47:11

I said whoa, right? You're just

47:13

saying that Xi Jinping speaks for

47:15

all Asian people FYI the

47:18

Taiwanese are Chinese, too And

47:20

you're playing right into his hands because he's gonna scream

47:23

racism Every step

47:25

of the way, that's also where

47:27

our diversity comes into play. We have a lot

47:29

of Awesome Americans

47:31

of Chinese descent who

47:33

can be loud and proud and say no, no, no We're

47:36

not in a conflict with the Chinese

47:38

people. It's that guy at the

47:40

top and his party They're the evil that we

47:42

need to stand again I

48:00

influencer, Paige Speronic, has to tell us,

48:02

what's your secret? I

48:04

mean, with 3.9 million Instagram

48:06

followers, those golf tips must

48:08

be incredible. Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha. Pathetic.

48:13

You know what? I don't need to get

48:15

my erotic kicks pretending I care about golf.

48:18

That's why I watch the

48:20

Weather Channel. Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha. Well,

48:27

now that Macy's says it's closing 150 stores,

48:30

they have to tell us one thing. Where?

48:32

Where did you hide them? Behind

48:37

Sears? I

48:44

have an idea. Don't close Macy's. Just take everything

48:47

off the racks, throw it on the floor, and

48:49

call it TJ Maxx. You

48:58

know, man, that Jason Kelsey has them

49:00

free time, because he's retired from football,

49:02

he has to solve mysteries. Mystery

49:04

number one. Mystery

49:07

number one. Where's your mouth? Do

49:16

you even have one? Or is it just more

49:18

beard? The

49:20

last time I was looking for lips through this much hair, it

49:22

was 1972, and I was

49:25

losing my virginity. Speaking

49:34

of mysteries. New

49:38

rule, now that Amelia Earhart's plane may have been

49:40

found, let's agree the only mystery left in the

49:42

world is, who still uses Redbox?

49:47

Oh, my gosh. Let

49:53

me get this straight. Instead of streaming a

49:55

library of films from the comfort of my

49:57

own home, I can drive to 7-Eleven, step

49:59

over a junction. and shove my

50:01

hand in a rusty dispenser for a DVD. Well,

50:06

count me in. Why

50:08

Netflix and show when I can red box and

50:11

cut this? New

50:15

World Summoners explained to me how women

50:17

got saddled with March as Women's History

50:19

Month. 31 straight days

50:21

telling women you are valued, you are

50:23

appreciated and you are seen, followed immediately

50:26

by April Fools. A

50:37

new world season wraps up this Sunday

50:39

with the Oscars, after which we take

50:41

a year off to replenish the world

50:43

supply of Ozimpic. It's

50:47

time to welcome back Realtime's own

50:50

award show, The Cajonie. The

50:59

award show that recognizes those who at the

51:01

risk of their reputations and livelihoods have fought

51:03

back against cancel culture, whether it comes from

51:06

the left or the right. Tonight,

51:09

from Hollywood, the

51:11

second annual Cajonie's Award,

51:14

honoring outstanding achievement in

51:16

growing a pair. And

51:19

now, here's your host, Bill

51:23

Maher. Thank

51:31

you and welcome to The Cajonies. I'll be your host

51:33

for the next four and a half hours and tonight,

51:37

we've got a lot of anxious nominees hoping to

51:40

get their hands on my balls. So

51:51

let's get right to it. Our

51:53

first Cajonie's goes to Dartmouth University

51:55

President, Cion Baloch, who reinstated standardized

51:57

testing and admissions, back

52:00

the SAT made a clear and brave

52:02

statement. It's not racist to test if

52:04

high school students know shit. But

52:14

if you're stupid, don't panic. Harvard, Stanford,

52:16

and Princeton are still test optional. Yes,

52:18

it's a great time to be a

52:20

dumbass, but not a Dartmouth. So,

52:27

Cian, for bringing back testing, you

52:29

get these testies. Our

52:38

next award goes to Rosie Blair,

52:40

who had been a plus-sized

52:42

body positivity influencer, but then,

52:44

like Leah Remini leaving Scientology,

52:47

realized that obesity wasn't a positive at all.

52:49

In fact, it sucks, and

52:52

lost over 60 pounds, which, for our

52:54

British viewers, is the equivalent of losing

52:56

Victoria Beckham. But

53:05

not everyone was happy with Rosie's choice, and

53:08

the response from the people who are so

53:10

against body shaming was to scream, shame! But

53:16

Rosie refused to be bullied and said, I

53:18

have zero remorse for being public about my

53:21

weight loss. Two years ago, I couldn't wipe

53:23

my own ass. We'll

53:27

skip the handshake, but for standing out for...

53:41

Our next-to-honey goes to California State

53:43

Senate Leader Tony Atkins, because eight

53:45

years ago, California did a real

53:47

California thing and banned business

53:50

travel from any of its state

53:52

employees to any state in America

53:54

where the laws about gender identity

53:56

and expression weren't up to California

53:58

standards, forgetting that no... No one

54:00

is ever up to California standards, which

54:04

meant that any Cali state worker

54:06

from congressman to college football coaches

54:08

weren't allowed to visit on business

54:11

half the country, evil totalitarian police

54:13

states like Iowa. But

54:18

Tony Atkins said, having grown up lesbian

54:20

in the South, I know from personal

54:22

experience growing up in a rural community

54:24

where it is more conservative, that the

54:26

way to change people's minds is to

54:28

have direct contact. Polarization is

54:31

not working. So

54:33

last year, California repealed the ban. We

54:35

can trade with Ohio again! So

54:40

Tony, these

54:46

the honeys are for you, which you can

54:48

display on your mantle ironically. Our

54:57

next award goes to Garth Brooks, who sings

54:59

country music, so naturally he owns a bar.

55:04

And naturally last year he got a lot

55:06

of shit for continuing to serve Bud Light,

55:08

because as we all know, it makes you

55:10

gay or worse tolerant. But

55:14

it took guts for Garth to not throw

55:16

Bud Light under the bus, because country singers

55:18

are beholden to red state fans. That's why

55:20

there's no song called, She Thinks My Prius

55:23

Is Sexy. Bud

55:31

Garth just said, if you're an asshole, there are

55:33

plenty of other places to go. And

55:36

that he wasn't going to stop selling a

55:38

certain beer, because a trans woman once touched

55:40

a can. For reminding

55:42

us that there's also a cancel culture mob

55:44

on the right, Garth, here are two more

55:46

friends that hang in low places. And

55:57

finally tonight, the Cajones Lifetime Achievement.

56:00

Award for excellence and not giving a

56:02

fuck. This

56:04

year goes to Jk Rowling, who's famous

56:07

for two things: a massive transfer of

56:09

wealth from the world children to her

56:11

checking account. And

56:16

her being endlessly vilified for refusing

56:18

to bend money and kowtow to

56:21

the ones who opinion that a

56:23

biological women and trans women are

56:25

completely indistinguishable in every way. I'm

56:27

sorry to hear that kids feel free to

56:30

call a suicide hotline or posted angry checked

56:32

on. One

56:41

a trans woman was conducted recently

56:43

of murder and torturing. Catch Rolling

56:46

was incensed that Sky News and

56:48

other British media would not include

56:50

in their reporting. That. This person

56:52

was transgender and so tweeted. These.

56:54

Are not our crimes. I'm. So

56:56

sick of this shit. And. I don't

56:59

blame her. how many biological women

57:01

torture cats? Is.

57:04

A guy saying. Just

57:07

like murder is mostly a guy thing,

57:09

the fact that a person committed while

57:11

wearing a wig and lipstick is irrelevant.

57:14

So it's not a guy saying is

57:16

having balls and lady you gotta. Have

57:24

a lot. Of

57:28

one guy said I was on a financial hole.

57:30

I'm gonna go. Mad was.

57:36

On. His

57:43

level for. The Warden the former

57:46

overhaul the local, the local. Move.

57:48

Move. Move. Move.

57:50

Move. Move. will.com.
