BUT HE IS GOING TO BE THE
KEYNOTE SPEAKER AT THE END, THIS
IS WHAT THEY WERE DOING WHEELING
IN THE GOLDEN CALF.
BOY, TRUMPS PARTY IS STUCK ON
HIM LIKE A GORILLA GLUE, THEY
JUST LOVE THIS GUY.
I KNOW WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN,
HE'S GOING TO GET UP THERE AND
SAY HE'S THE NOMINEE AND NO ONE
IS GOING TO OBJECT TO THIS.
THEY ARE ALREADY ON THIS PAGE,
ALREADY HAS THE SLOGAN FOR 2024.
LET'S GET DONE WHAT WE NEVER
STARTED.
OKAY, WE'VE GOT A GREAT SHOW,
SENATOR JON TESTER AND EZRA
KLEIN ARE HERE.
BUT FIRST, SHE'S A JOURNALIST
AND THE HOST OF THE MEGYN KELLY
SHOW PODCAST: MEGYN KELLY.
MEGYN KELLY, HELLO.
LOOK AT YOU.
YOU'RE READY TO BE OVER COVID.
>> EXACTLY RIGHT, I'M WEARING
MORE THAN THEY USED TO WEAR ON
THE SHOW.
THEY NEVER DID WITH ME.
>> Bill: LEGS, DIDN'T HAVE TO
SHOW YOU?
>> NO ONE EVER TOLD ME THAT.
I HAVE HEARD OTHER WOMEN SAY
THAT BUT I WAS ONE OF THE
PRINCIPAL ANCHORS IN THE 14
YEARS I WAS THERE NO ONE EVER
TOLD ME I COULDN'T WEAR PANTS,
IF YOU LOOK AT MY HISTORY I WAS
WEARING THEM ALL THE TIME.
>> Bill: I ALWAYS THOUGHT OF
YOU AS THE MARYLAND MONSTER OF
FOX NEWS.
>> WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?
>> Bill: SHE WAS SURROUNDED BY
MONSTERS BUT SHE WAS PRETTY AND
BLONDE AND NORMAL, YOU NEVER
WATCH THE MONSTERS?
>> I DID BUT I WAS FOUR.
WHO REMEMBERS THEM?
>> Bill: I WASN'T FOUR, I
WATCHED THEM LAST NIGHT I THINK.
ANYWAY, WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT
YOUR OLD SHOP?
COULD YOU EVEN WORK THERE TODAY?
>> I'M FOCUSED ON BEING IN MY
OWN INDEPENDENT LANE WHICH I
LIKE RIGHT NOW.
>> Bill: I AM SAYING THEY HAVE
GOTTEN CRAZIER.
>> LOOKED, THERE ARE
PERSONALITIES THERE WHO WENT
HARD RIGHT DURING THE TRUMP
ADMINISTRATION.
MARIA BARTIROMO SOUNDED VERY
DIFFERENT THAN WHEN I WAS THERE,
LOU DOBBS KIND OF SOUNDED THE
SAME AS HE ALWAYS DID THAT.
>> Bill: LOU DOBBS USED TO BE
ON --
>> CNN.
>> Bill: HE WAS NORMAL.
>> HE HAD THE HIGHEST RATED SHOW
ON FOX BUSINESS TALKING LIKE
THAT, SO THERE WAS AN AUDIENCE
FOR THAT.
WHEN I LOOK AT HIM, I DON'T
THINK HE'S ANY MORE COMMITTED TO
HIS HARD RIGHT PARTISANSHIP THAN
DON LEMON IS COMMITTED TO HIS
HARD LEFT PARTISANSHIP.
THE CABLE NETWORKS ARE DOING
THAT, THEY ARE LEANING INTO THE
FAR RIGHT AND THE FAR LEFT.
>> Bill: I AGREE THERE IS
CRAZY ON BOTH SIDES BUT THAT'S A
FALSE EQUIVALENCY, BECAUSE WHAT
LOU DOBBS BELIEVES IS THAT THE
ELECTION WAS STOLEN.
I DON'T AGREE WITH DON LEMON ON
EVERYTHING BUT HE'S NOT LIVING
IN AN ALTERNATIVE REALITY.
>> I DON'T KNOW ABOUT THAT, LOOK
AT RACHEL MADDOW AND RUSSIA
GATE, SHE WENT DOWN THE
RABBIT HOLE AND WAS EMBARRASSED
BY THAT.
LOU DOBBS SAME THING ON THE
CRAZY ELECTION CLAIMS, THERE'S
PLENTY OF BLAME TO GO AROUND I
THINK AT THIS POINT IN OUR
UNIVERSE, YOU HAVE TO DECIDE ON
A PERSONALITY YOU TRUST.
AT FOX IF I'M GOING TO WATCH
TELEVISION NEWS, I'M GOING TO
WATCH BRET BAIER HE'S A STRAIGHT
SHOOTER AND I TRUST HIM.
WHEN I'M TRYING TO FIND MY OWN
NEWS, I TRY TO READ AS MUCH AS
HUMANLY POSSIBLE, I GO TO REAL
CLEAR POLITICS EVERY MORNING,
ONE FROM THE LEFT, ONE FROM THE
RIGHT AND SADLY YOU HAVE TO WORK
AT IT IF YOU WANT TO FIND
FACTUAL MEDIA THESE DAYS.
>> Bill: I WANT TO TALK TO YOU
ABOUT THE SCHOOLS, I WANTED YOU
BACK HERE BECAUSE I READ THAT
YOU TOOK YOUR KIDS OUT OF SCHOOL
IN NEW YORK AND I'VE BEEN
HEARING ANECDOTALLY VERY MUCH
THE SAME THING FROM MANY
PARENTS.
PARENTS CONFIDE IN ME I GUESS
BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE KIDS, IT
USUALLY STARTS WITH "YOU'RE SO
LUCKY YOU DON'T HAVE KIDS."
AND THEN I HEAR ABOUT THEIR
PROBLEMS.
TELL US WHY YOU DID THIS.
>> WE LOVED OUR SCHOOLS.
OUR TEACHERS LOVED IT, STUDENTS
AND FACULTY AND PARENTS, THEY
WERE DEFINITELY LEFTIST, WE ARE
CENTER RIGHT AND THAT WAS FINE.
MY WHOLE FAMILY ARE DEMOCRATS,
IT WAS LIKE I WAS BOTHERED AND
THE FACT THAT THEY LEAN HARD
LEFT AND THEN THEY WENT HARD
LEFT AND THEY STARTED TAKING A
HARD TURN TOWARD JE AND SOCIAL
JUSTICE STUFF.
AND OUR BOYS SCHOOL IN
PARTICULAR IT STARTED WHEN OUR
SON WAS IN THIRD GRADE THEY
UNLEASHED A THREE WEEK
EXPERIMENTAL TRANS EDUCATION
PROGRAM ON THESE EIGHT AND
9-YEAR-OLD BOYS.
IT WASN'T ABOUT SUPPORT COME OUT
WE FELT LIKE IT WAS MORE ABOUT
LIKE TRYING TO CONVINCE THEM TO
COME ON OVER.
AND THE BOYS STARTED TO GETTING
CONFUSED IN THE IMPLEMENT THE
SYSTEM RAISE YOUR HAND IF YOU'RE
REALLY CONFUSED PUT UP A ONE AND
IF YOU'RE A LITTLE CONFUSED --
>> Bill: HOW OLD ARE THEY NOW?
>> THEY WERE EIGHT AND NINE AT
THE TIME.
WE OBJECTED AND SO DID A LOT OF
OTHER PARENTS TO THE POINT WHERE
THEY HAD TO APOLOGIZE FOR THAT
ONE.
THEN OUR KIN KINDERGARTNER WAS D
TO WRITE A LETTER TO THE
CLEVELAND INDIANS OBJECT INTO
THEIR MASCOT, HE'S SIX.
CAN WE LEARN HOW TO SPELL
CLEVELAND BEFORE WE ACTIVATE
HIM?
HE LIVES IN NEW YORK CITY HE'S
GOT BUSES AND SUBWAYS AND CRIME,
HE'S GOT THINGS TO WORRY ABOUT
OTHER THAN SOCIAL ACTIVISM AND
IF HE'S GOING TO BE ACTIVATED,
DOUG AND I SHOULD DO IT, NOT A
KINDERGARTEN TEACHER.
>> Bill: THESE ARE ALL
LIBERAL, BY THE WAY.
WHO SAY MY KIDS ARE NOT READY TO
BE TOLD THEY ARE WHITE
SUPREMACISTS.
I'M NOT READY TO BE TOLD THAT.
>> WE ARE NOT LEFT AND RIGHT,
BLACK-AND-WHITE, REASON AND
UNREASON.
>> Bill: YOU TALK ABOUT THIS
LETTER, CAN I READ SOME OF THE
THINGS ON THIS LETTER UNLESS
PEOPLE THINK I'M LOSING MY MIND?
THERE IS A KILLER COP SITTING AT
EVERY SCHOOL WHERE WHITE
CHILDREN LEARN.
WHITE CHILDREN ARE LEFT
UNCHECKED AND UNBOTHERED IN
THEIR HOMES ONE SENTENCE STARTS,
HOW OLD DO YOU HAVE TO BE BEFORE
YOU CAN JUST BE UNCHECKED AND
UNBOTHERED?
WHAT AGE DO YOU GET BOTHERED?
"I'M TIRED OF WHITE PEOPLE
REVELING IN THEIR STATE
SANCTIONED DEPRAVITY IS NOTHING
UP LIKE LIFE WITH NO
CONSEQUENCES."
"GO REFORM WHITE KIDS."
IT BOTHERS ME SO MUCH THAT I
HAVE TO BE ON THIS SIDE OF THIS
ISSUE BECAUSE I'VE ALWAYS BEEN A
CIVIL RIGHTS ADVOCATE.
DON'T MAKE ME TUCKER CARLSON,
YOU ARE THE FUCKING NUTS, THIS
IS INSANE.
AS BLACK BODIES DROP LIKE FLIES
AROUND US BY VIOLENT WHITE
HANDS -- THERE IS RACIST
PROBLEMS IN THIS COUNTRY BUT
THIS IS HYPERBOLE AND THIS IS
MAKING PEOPLE CRAZY.
THIS IS NOT THE WAY WE GET TO
THE PROMISED LAND.
>> ABSOLUTELY NOT, IT'S DIVISIVE
AND IT'S RACIST AND IT'S HAVING
EXACTLY THE OPPOSITE EFFECT OF
WHAT THEY INTEND AND IT IS NOT
THAT ALL THE BLACK PEOPLE IN ARN
FAVOR OF THIS KIND OF TALK.
MY FRIEND COLEMAN HUGHES WHO IS
24, LIBERAL, HE'S BEEN SPEAKING
OUT ABOUT THIS AS A BLACK MAN
SAYING HOW DO YOU PRESUME TO
KNOW HOW I FEEL?
IT'S PEJORATIVE TO HIM.
THE WHITES ARE THE ONES WHO
UNDERSTAND WHO ARE ARROGANT AND
IN CONTROL AND WORK HARD, THESE
ARE ALL THE TERMS ASSOCIATED
WITH WHITE SUPREMACY AND THE
WHITE PEOPLE FEEL BAD AND FEEL
JUDGED BECAUSE THEY ARE TOLD
THEY ARE WHITE SUPREMACIST
BECAUSE OF THE PIGMENTATION OVER
WHICH THEY HAVE NO CONTROL.
IT'S SO DIVISIVE AND
COUNTERPRODUCTIVE AND IT WASN'T
JUST OUR SCHOOL IN NEW YORK AND
IT'S NOT JUST NEW YORK, OLIVER
NEW YORK, THERE WAS NO PLACE TO
MOVE THEM TO GET AWAY FROM THIS,
IT WASN'T JUST OUR SCHOOL.
THERE WAS A PUBLIC SCHOOL ON THE
UPPER SIDE OF EASTERN MANHATTAN
THAT GOT IN THE NEWS BECAUSE
THEY GAVE US THIS PANOPLY OF
EIGHT CATEGORIES IN WHICH ALL
WHITE PEOPLE FALL ON THE ONE END
IS WHITE SUPREMACIST AND ON THE
OTHER END IS WHITE TRAITOR,
WHITE ABOLITIONIST AND THEY ARE
ENCOURAGING YOU TO BE A WHITE
TRADER, EVERYONE GETS DIVIDED
INTO OPPRESSED OR OPPRESSOR,
CUPERTINO, CALIFORNIA, THEY DID
THE SAME THING.
THEY TOOK AN 8-9-YEAR-OLD AND
MADE THEM DECONSTRUCT THEIR
RACIAL AND SEXUAL IDENTITY TO
FIGURE OUT WHETHER THEY ARE AN
OPPRESSOR OR THE OPPRESSED.
8-YEAR-OLDS.
THIS IS REALLY DAMAGING AND AS
YOU GET OLDER THE STUDIES SHOW
THESE SORT OF IMPLICIT BIAS AND
EDUCATION EFFORTS BRING OUT
RACISM.
IF SOMEBODY IS HAVING RACIST
THOUGHTS IN THE BACK OF THEIR
HEAD COMMIT BRINGS IT TO THE
FRONTAL LOBE AND MORE PEOPLE ACT
ON THEIR LATENT RACISM THAN THEY
OTHERWISE WOULD HAVE.
>> Bill: DID YOU READ ABOUT
SMITH COLLEGE?
>> I INTERVIEWED JODI SHAW.
>> Bill: ONE OF THE MOST
LIBERAL COLLEGES IN THE COUNTRY
FOR MANY DECADES TO COME I THINK
IT WOULD BE SAFE TO SAY AND
THERE WAS A BLACK STUDENT THERE
AND SHE ACCUSED SOMEONE -- I
THINK IT WAS A JANITOR -- OF
RACIAL PROFILING BECAUSE SHE WAS
EATING IN A DORM, BUT IT TURNED
OUT SHE WAS JUST SOMEPLACE WHERE
SHE SHOULDN'T HAVE BEEN.
>> SHE WAS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE
THIS LOCATION, THIS JANITOR HAS
BEEN TOLD IF YOU SEE A STUDENT
IN THERE YOU'VE GOT TO REMOVE
THEM, HE SAW SOMEBODY, HE CALLED
SECURITY TO SAY SOMEBODY IS IN
THERE AND SHE WAS REMOVED AND
FROM THAT POINT FORWARD, THE
STUDENT WHO WAS BLACK KEPT
SAYING I'M SITTING WHILE BLACK,
THIS IS A RACIST INSTITUTION,
THIS CUSTODIAN IS RACIST, SOME
TEACHER SHE PASSED ON THE WAY
INTO THE DORM SHE SAID SHE WAS
RACIST TOO COME ALL THAT WOMAN
DID WAS PASTOR AND WAVE, THE
ASSUMPTION WAS THAT SHE REPORTED
HER.
THESE PEOPLE TO CUSTODIAN, THE
TEACHER HAD THEIR LIVES RUINED.
THE ONE WOMAN GOT PUT ON
ADMINISTRATIVE LEAVE OR SHE GOT
ULTIMATELY FOR LOAD TRYING TO
LOOK FOR ANOTHER JOB AND THE
RESTAURANT OWNER IS LIKE UNTO
YOU THAT RACIST?
THEY DID NOTHING WRONG BUT THE
STUDENT WASN'T DISCIPLINED AND
WE ARE SEEING THIS MORE AND
MORE.
IF I JUST INTERVIEWED A GIRL
FROM A SCHOOL IN THE MIDWEST,
CATHOLIC THEM ALL GIRLS, SHE WAS
17, A BLACK STUDENT THEY ARE SAD
THAT THIS 17-YEAR-OLD GIRL HAD
STOOD UP IN THE MIDDLE OF A
CLASS, LOOK AT HER AND SAID
"BLACK LIVES DO NOT MATTER."
IF THAT HAD HAPPENED, CAN YOU
IMAGINE THE UPROAR?
THE GIRL SAID I NEVER DID THAT
COME OF THE TEACHER SAID SHE
NEVER DID THAT, NO ONE OTHER
THAN THE ONE ACCUSER WAS
CLAIMING SHE DID THAT AND THE
TAPE, THE CLASS WAS VIDEOTAPED
IN THE VIDEOTAPE ACCORDING TO
THE GIRL AND HER LAWYER DOES NOT
REFLECT -- THE SCHOOL ARE NOT
TURNING IT OVER BUT THEY'RE
CLAIMING IT DOESN'T SHOW THAT.
DID THEY DISCIPLINE THE ACCUSER?
THEY JUST KEPT LOOKING AT HER
AND SAYING ALL WHITE PEOPLE ARE
WHITE SUPREMACISTS.
YOUR FAMILY LOVES TRUMPED, YOU
HAVE A SUPPORTIVE FLAG FOR
POLICE ON YOUR LAPTOP, AND
THEREFORE YOU'RE IN THE WRONG.
THIS IS GETTING NUTS, WE ARE
DIVIDING CHILDREN FROM ONE
ANOTHER BASELESSLY AT A TIME
WHEN TEENAGE SUICIDE IS AT AN
ALL-TIME HIGH.
KIDS COME INTO THE WORLD, IN
PARTICULAR WHITE KIDS, THEY
CAN'T CONTROL THEIR WEIGHT IN
THE SAME WAY LEASE TO BE DOING
TO BLACK KIDS, TREATING THEM AS
LESS THAN TEN BECAUSE THERE
PIGMENTATION.
THE ANSWER TO THAT RACISM IS NOT
MORE RACISM.
>> Bill: THE QUOTE FROM THIS
STUDENT WAS "ALL I DID WAS BE
BLACK, IT'S OUTRAGEOUS SOME
PEOPLE QUESTION MY BEING AT
SMITH COLLEGE IN MY EXISTENCE
OVERALL AS A WOMAN OF COLOR."
I DON'T THINK THAT'S WHAT'S
GOING ON AT SMITH COLLEGE IN
2021.
I'M WITH YOU, OF COURSE WE
SHOULD ALL ACKNOWLEDGE THERE IS
RACISM IN THIS COUNTRY AND WE
HAVE A HORRIBLE, SORRY HISTORY.
WE DON'T HAVE EXACTLY A
HORRIBLE, SORRY PRESENT,
CERTAINLY AS MUCH AS IT WAS IN
THE PAST.
THAT DOESN'T MEAN THERE'S NOT
LOTS OF WORK TO DO AND WE SHOULD
DO IT.
[APPLAUSE]
BUT DON'T GASLIGHT ME.
DON'T TELL ME THINGS ARE GOING
ON -- I JUST DON'T THINK AND I
FEEL LIKE THIS IS BEYOND RACE,
IT'S A GENERATIONAL THING WHERE
SO MANY PEOPLE WANT THEIR
IDENTITY WRAPPED UP IN BEING A
VICTIM.
>> RIGHT.
>> Bill: YOU CAN APPLAUD THAT
WITHOUT GOING TO IF YOU AGREE
WITH IT, THERE YOU GO.
>> THAT'S THE PUSH NOW, IS TO
LEAN INTO VICTIMHOOD AND IT'S
NOT JUST A RACE THING.
I SEE IT WITH SOME OF MY YELLOW
WOMEN.
IT'S NOT THAT THE ME TOO
SITUATION WASN'T REAL BUT WE
DON'T HAVE TO LEAN INTO
VICTIMHOOD EVEN WHEN WE MIGHT BE
VICTIMS.
WHAT I WOULD SAY TO YOU --
>> Bill: THERE ARE REAL
VICTIMS, MANY OF THEM.
>> EVEN IF YOU ARE REAL VICTIM
WHICH I'VE BEEN IN THE PAST TOO,
IT ISN'T PSYCHOLOGICALLY HELPFUL
TO LEAN INTO IT.
I ALWAYS USE THE WORD TARGETS, I
WAS THE TARGET OF CERTAIN MEN.
THAT DIDN'T MAKE ME ANY BUDDIES
VICTIM THE MORE YOU WALLOW IN
THAT MENTALITY THE MORE YOU VEER
TOWARD NEGATIVITY AND ATTRACT
MORE OF IT IN YOUR LIFE.
WHAT WE ARE DOING NOW TO
CHILDREN IS ENCOURAGING EXACTLY
THE OPPOSITE AND WHENEVER IT
COMES THEIR WAY, THEY SEE IT
THROUGH THAT LENS.
WE ARE SETTING THEM UP TO FAIL.
IT'S VERY DAMAGING.
>> Bill: I THANK YOU FOR
COMING ON AND TALKING ABOUT
THIS, NOT AN EASY SUBJECT AND I
HOPE SOMEDAY WE DON'T HAVE TO
TALK ABOUT IT AGAIN.
THANK YOU, MEGYN KELLY, LET'S
MEET OUR PANEL!
HE'S A NEW YORK TIMES OPINION
COLUMNIST AND HOST OF "THE EZRA
KLEIN SHOW" PODCAST: EZRA KLEIN.
HOW YOU DOING?
HE'S THE DEMOCRATIC SENATOR FROM
MONTANA WHO ALSO HAPPENS TO BE
THE SENATE'S ONLY WORKING
FARMER, AND HE'S THE AUTHOR OF
"GROUNDED: A SENATOR'S LESSONS
ON WINNING BACK RURAL AMERICA":
SENATOR JON TESTER.
SENATOR, GREAT TO SEE YOU.
THE ONLY WORKING FARMER, IS THAT
RIGHT?
>> I THINK THERE'S A LOT OF
PEOPLE INVOLVED IN AGRICULTURE
IN THE SENATE BUT I'M THE ONE --
WE ARE ALSO THE ONES THAT DO THE
WORK.
>> Bill: YOU'RE FROM MONTANA,
OF COURSE.
YOU ARE NOT FROM TEXAS OR
CALIFORNIA, LET'S TALK ABOUT
THEM.
IT'S INTERESTING, THOSE TWO
STATES, MY STATE AND TEXAS WERE
A LOT OF CALIFORNIANS HAVE GONE
RECENTLY, THERE IS AN EXODUS
THERE TO TEXAS.
BOTH HAVING A LOT OF TROUBLES.
YOU'VE WRITTEN ABOUT CALIFORNIA
RECENTLY, I WAS VERY SYMPATHETIC
TO WHAT YOU WERE WRITING, I
THINK YOU WERE SYMPATHETIC TO
WHAT I'VE BEEN SAYING, I HAVE MY
DAYS WITHOUT WAITING FOR SOLAR
CHART, WE'RE GOING TO GET THAT,
IT'S UP TO -- IT SEEMS LIKE WHAT
WE HAVE IS ONE STATE THAT THIS
TERRIBLY OVER GOVERNED IN ONE
STATE THAT THIS TERRIBLY UNDER
GOVERNED, SWEEPING
GENERALIZATIONS GO, IS THAT
TRUE?
>> ACTUALLY NOT.
I THINK WEIRDLY CALIFORNIA IS
UNDER GOVERNED, PART OF THE
POINT THAT COLUMN IS IT'S HARD
FOR A LOT OF CALIFORNIA
POLITICIANS TO GET ANYTHING
DONE.
IN CALIFORNIA INTO L.A. I TALK
ABOUT ERIC GARCETTI, HE GOT L.A.
TO PASS A HUGE HOMELESS
INITIATIVE, PASS THE SALES TAX,
WHOLE THING, BUT THEN IT TOOK
THREE YEARS TO OPEN THE FIRST
HOMELESS SHELTER BECAUSE IN L.A.
EVERY COMMUNITY WOULD ORGANIZE
TO KEEP THE HOMELESS SHELTER
FROM COMING INTO THEIR AREA.
CALIFORNIA'S LEADERS DID WANT TO
DO HIGH-SPEED RAIL BUT
INDIVIDUAL CITIES AND INDIVIDUAL
PLACES AND INDIVIDUAL LAWYERS
STOPPED IT.
ONE OF THE WEIRD THINGS ABOUT
CALIFORNIA IS AS MUCH AS IT
SEEMS REALLY PROGRESSIVE AND
THIS IS THE POINT I MAKE IN THE
COLUMN, A LOT OF PEOPLE IN IT
AND A LOT OF FOLKS THAT HAVE
BLACK LIVES MATTER SIGNS IN
THEIR FRONT YARD WOULD SAY EVERY
LIFE -- NO HUMAN BEING IS
ILLEGAL, THEY ORGANIZE AGAINST
ANYTHING THAT WOULD BRING MORE
EQUITY AND CREATE CHANGE IN
THEIR INDIVIDUAL LIVES.
AS YOU SEE THERE, THERE'S A LOT
OF FOLKS ARE THE TOP OF THE
CALIFORNIA GOVERNMENT TO WANT TO
SPEED SOLAR POWER AND GETTING
INDIVIDUAL LOCAL GOVERNMENTS TO
ALLOW MORE BUILDING OR CHANGE
LOCAL REGULATIONS IS
UNBELIEVABLY HARD BECAUSE OF HOW
FRACTURED AND DECENTRALIZED
POWER IS IN THE INTERNAL
STRUCTURE.
>> Bill: I THINK WE ARE SAYING
THE SAME THINGS UNDER DIFFERENT
TERMS.
MAYBE I USED THE WRONG TERM --
ALL I KNOW IS I HAD 11 PEOPLE AT
MY HOUSE ON TUESDAY.
I SHOW THEM THE SHED, THIS IS
THE SHED THAT TOOK THREE YEARS
TO BUILD -- THESE ARE ALL NICE
PEOPLE, I TALKED TO THEM.
THEY ARE SMART, PROFESSIONAL,
IT'S NOT THEIR FAULT.
THIS IS THE ANSWER TO THE JOKE
HOW MANY STATE OFFICIALS DOES IT
TAKE TO SCREW IN A LIGHT BULB?
11, APPARENTLY.
I'M APPRECIATIVE THAT THEY CAME
OUT TO THE HOUSE.
BUT JUST, REALLY?
IF THAT'S NOT THE DEFINITION OF
OVER GOVERNING, I DON'T KNOW
WHAT IT IS.
SOMETHING IS WRONG THAT THESE
PEOPLE HAVE TO DO THESE
DIFFERENT JOBS TO JUST DO
SOMETHING VERY SIMPLE.
JUST SWITCHING OVER TO SOLAR.
I'M NOT PUTTING THE HELICOPTER
PAD ON MY ROOF, YOU KNOW?
>> THAT MIGHT WORK TOO.
1103 DAYS -- I WOULD ASK THE
QUESTION WHY?
THE REGULATION SHOULD FIT THE
RISK, IF YOU'RE WILLING TO MAKE
THE INVESTMENT YOURSELF TO PUT
UP THE SOLAR PANELS AND WHO WAS
TAKING THE RISK HERE?
>> Bill: IT TOOK A YEAR AND
THREE INSPECTIONS TO PUT IN A
NEW GARAGE DOOR AND I SAID TO
THE GUY, IF IT FALLS ON MY HEAD,
THAT'S MY FUCKING PROBLEM.
CALIFORNIA HAS 395,000
REGULATORY RESTRICTIONS.
YOU CAN'T FLY A KITE HIGHER THAN
10 FEET.
IN SAN FRANCISCO YOU CAN'T CARRY
BREAD, CAKES, OR PASTRIES AND
OPEN BASKETS OR EXPOSED
CONTAINERS.
IN SAN JOSE, IT'S ILLEGAL TO OWN
MORE THAN TWO DOGS OR CATS.
IN LONG BEACH, YOU CAN'T PUT
ANYTHING IN YOUR CAR BUT A
GARAGE -- I'M GOING TO READ THIS
QUOTE FROM JAMES VAN DER BEEK,
HE WAS ON DAWSON'S CREEK, YOU
REMEMBER HIM.
ONE OF THE MANY PEOPLE WHO LEFT
CALIFORNIA, HERE'S WHAT HE SAID.
HE WROTE THIS.
"AT THE PARK IN BEVERLY HILLS
NEAR WHERE WE JUST MOVED AWAY
FROM, WE WERE NOT ALLOWED TO FLY
A KITE, ALSO NOT ALLOWED AT ANY
PARK, RIDING A BICYCLE, CLIMB A
TREE, THROWING A BALL AGAINST A
WALL.
LEARNING FROM AN INSTRUCTOR,
USING WEIGHTS, WEARING CLEATS,
CONTINUES THE BATTING CAGE."
ONLY THE DEMOCRATS COULD SUCK
THE FUN OUT OF THE PARK.
HE SAID THAT THIS IS WHY WE ARE
MOVING.
THEN HE GOES TO TEXAS AND GETS
STUCK IN THE COLD AND HAS NO
WATER.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT MY QUESTION
IS, WHERE WOULD YOU RATHER LIVE?
WHICH IS WORSE?
>> THE PROBLEM IS YOU NEED TO
APPLY A LITTLE COMMON SENSE
WHICH IS I THINK WHAT YOU'RE
TRYING TO APPLY.
WE HAVE FOLKS OUT THERE WHO SAY
WE WANT TO DO AWAY WITH ALL
REGULATIONS -- SOME REGULATIONS
ARE ACTUALLY NECESSARY.
>> Bill: THEY GIVE A BAD NAME.
>> THAT'S RIGHT, THEY GIVE A BAD
NAME TO THE REGULATIONS.
>> Bill: IN TEXAS, IT'S THE
OPPOSITE.
I DON'T THINK TED CRUZ IS GOING
TO PAY ANY POLITICAL PRICE FOR
THAT.
HE'S DOWN IN THE POLLS NOW, YEA
YEAH.
YOU THINK TEXAS IS GOING TO GO
BLUE OR PURPLE AND IT NEVER DOES
BECAUSE THEY DON'T EVEN THINK
YOU HAVE TO GOVERN ANYMORE.
WE ARE IN THIS POST-PERFORMANCE
ERA AT LEAST IN A PLACE LIKE
TEXAS WHERE IT DOESN'T MATTER
HOW BAD YOU FUCKED UP THE JOB OF
GOVERNING BECAUSE THAT'S NOT
WHAT IT'S ABOUT, IT'S ABOUT
MAKING AN AD WHERE YOU'RE FIRING
A GUN AND MEAN TWEETING.
RIGHT?
IT'S OWNING THE LIBS.
THERE'S A REASON WHY THAT
HAPPENED IN TEXAS BUT I DON'T
THINK THEY WILL PAY A POLITICAL
PRICE, DO YOU?
>> I DON'T KNOW, HE WANTS TO BE
PRESIDENT.
THAT'S WHAT TED CRUZ WANTS TO D
DO.
IT'S FOUR YEARS OUT TO THE NEXT
PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION AND PEOPLE
MAY FORGET ABOUT IT BY THEN.
I WILL TELL YOU, LEAVING YOUR
DOG HOME IN THE COLD IS AN
UNFORGIVABLE SIN.
>> Bill: I DON'T KNOW IF HE
ACTUALLY DID THAT.
[LAUGHTER]
[APPLAUSE]
YOU SAID THE WAY MANY OF US
DEMOCRATS TEND TO SPEAK TO
AMERICANS IS DOGGED UP BY
SELF-RIGHTEOUSNESS AND IDENTITY
POLITICS AND WE ARE GETTING
WHIPPED IN THE MESSAGING WAR.
THIS IS WHAT I ALWAYS SAY ABOUT
THE UNDERPERFORMING REPUBLICANS,
PEOPLE WOULD VOTE FOR THE
DEMOCRATS BUT THEN IT'S LIKE --
I DON'T LIKE THEM BUT THESE
GUYS, I HATE THESE.
>> AND REPUBLICANS ARE MASTERS
OF TAKING ISSUES THAT ARE NOT
MAINSTREAM AND A SAYING THIS IS
WHAT DEMOCRATS BELIEVE AND WHEN
THAT'S NOT THE CASE.
THE PROBLEM IS, I DON'T THINK
DEMOCRATS GET OUT INTO PLACES
THEY NEED TO GET OUT TO TELL
THEIR STORY.
SOMETIMES THESE ARE TOUGH
CONVERSATIONS TO HAVE BUT THE
TRUTH IS AS I ALWAYS POINT OUT
IF YOU WALK INTO A BAR IN BIG
SANDY AND SOMEBODY SAYS JON
TESTER, AREN'T YOU A DEMOCRAT,
WHAT DO YOU STAND FOR?
I STAND FOR MAKING SURE WE HAVE
GOOD PUBLIC EDUCATION, MAKING
SURE OUR VETERANS ARE TAKEN CARE
OF, MAKING SURE WE HAVE
INFRASTRUCTURE FOR THE NEXT
GENERATION.
EVERYBODY IN THE BAR AND MOST OF
THEM WOULD BE REPUBLICANS,
EVERYONE IN THE BAR WOULD GIVE
YOU APPLAUSE.
>> Bill: BUT WHO DOESN'T SAY
THAT STUFF?
THAT YOU JUST SAID TO?
IS AGAINST VETERANS AND
INFRASTRUCTURE AND LEAVING
DOGS --
>> ONE IS THE LAST TIME WE
PASSED AN INFRASTRUCTURE BILL?
>> DOESN'T THIS GO TO THE
PROBLEM?
IT'S ALSO TRUE IN THE SENATE,
IT'S DRIVING ME CRAZY THE PAST
COUPLE DAYS.
THEY'RE GOING TO CUT THE MINIMUM
WAGE INCREASE OUT OF THE BILL
BECAUSE IT CAN'T GET THROUGH
BUDGET RECONCILIATION, THIS
WEIRD END RUN -- NOW THERE'S A
BUNCH OF IDEAS AND IF YOU TAX
COMPANIES THAT DON'T PAY A $15
WAGE BECAUSE THAT'S A WAY OF
GETTING AROUND THE RULES AND THE
ONLY REASON HE DID DO ALL THIS
IS BECAUSE DEMOCRATS IN THIS
CASE CAN'T GET 51 VOTES TO GET
RID OF THE FILIBUSTER.
IT ISN'T ENOUGH TO WANT
GOVERNMENT TO DO GOOD THINGS,
YOU HAVE TO REBUILD GOVERNMENT
SO IT CAN DO GOOD THINGS.
IT ACTUALLY THE RULES.
YOUR HUNDRED% RIGHT, THEY KEEP
NOT PASSING INFRASTRUCTURE BILLS
BECAUSE THINGS CAN'T GET 60 AND
THEN I TURN ON THE TV AND
SENATOR MANCHIN SAYS "WE WILL
NEVER CHANGE THE FILIBUSTER AND
WE WILL NEVER OVERRULE THE
PARLIAMENTARIAN AND BUDGET
RECONCILIATION."
ALL THOSE GOOD THINGS THEY SAY
THE SUPPORT, VETERANS AND
INFRASTRUCTURE, THEY SUPPORT ALL
OF IT BUT THEY DON'T SUPPORT IT
MORE THAN THEY SUPPORT LEAVING
GOVERNMENT EXACTLY THE WAY IT
IS.
IF THAT'S WHAT YOU TRULY
PRIORITIZE YOU DON'T GET
ANYTHING DONE.
>> Bill: NEEDING 60 VOTES IS A
MASTERED ISOLATION TO BEGIN
WITH, IS NOT IN THE
CONSTITUTION.
THEY DIDN'T WRITE THAT SAYING TO
PASS SOMETHING IN THE SENATE
IT'S GOT TO BE 60-40.
>> THEY THOUGHT ABOUT IT, THE
FEDERALIST PAPERS HAVE A BUNCH
OF THINGS FOR BOTH HAMILTON AND
MADISON ABOUT WHY THAT WOULD BE
A BAD IDEA.
IT WOULD LEAD THE MINORITY TO
EMBARRASS THE MAJORITY IN THE
RIGHT.
>> Bill: THAT'S EXACTLY THE
SYSTEM WE HAVE.
>> I HAD TO BE THE BAD PERSON
HERE BUT I WILL TELL YOU --
>> Bill: IT'S USUALLY ME, TAKE
OVER!
>> I'M TRYING TO FILL YOUR
SHOES.
THE TRUTH IS THAT THE FILIBUSTER
I THINK WAS MEANT TO BRING
PARTIES TOGETHER SO YOU HAD
BIPARTISAN BILLS, WHY IS THAT
IMPORTANT?
THAT'S IMPORTANT BECAUSE IF YOU
JUST HAVE SIMPLE MAJORITY EVERY
TIME CONGRESS CHANGES HANDS WHAT
YOU DID TWO YEARS AGO WILL BE
REPEALED AND YOU GO IN A
DIFFERENT DIRECTION AND I THINK
IF THERE'S ONE THING THE COUNTRY
DOES NEED THAT I THINK IS
IMPORTANT IT'S PREDICT ABILITY
AND CONSISTENCY.
I THINK THAT'S WHERE IT'S AT.
YOU WERE EXACTLY RIGHT, IT'S
BEEN ABUSED TO THE MAX AND IT'S
NO LONGER ABOUT GETTING
BIPARTISAN GROUPS OF SENATORS TO
PASS LEGISLATION, NOW IT'S USED
A STONE WALL IT'S USED TO STOP.
FOR THOSE REASONS WE DO NEED TO
TAKE A LOOK AT IT BUT I THINK WE
OUGHT TO GIVE THIS CONGRESS A
CHANCE TO SCREW UP BEFORE WE
CHANGE IT.
>> Bill: TRUMP CAME HARD AFTER
YOU IN 2018, HE REALLY WANTED TO
GET YOUR ASS AND HE FAILED, YOU
GOT 7% OF REPUBLICANS IN
MONTANA, THAT'S PRETTY GOOD IN
MONTANA.
>> ENOUGH TO WIN.
>> Bill: WHEN I SEE THIS
POLLING NOW, 58% I THINK OF
TRUMP SUPPORTER'S THINK THE
CAPITAL RIOT WAS ANTIFA.
A LOT OF THEM THINK THE SNOW IN
TEXAS WAS FAKE SNOW.
[LAUGHTER]
FROM BILL GATES.
TWO WEEKS BEFORE THAT IT WAS
JEWISH SPACE LASERS.
WHAT DO YOU SAY TO WIN OVER A
PERSON LIKE THAT?
WE HAVE TO TREAD THIS FINE LINE,
I DO IT MYSELF.
I'M OFTEN PREACHING WE CAN'T
JUST INSULT THESE PEOPLE, YOU
CAN'T SAY YOU'RE STUPID AND
INSIDE I WANT TO GO ON MY GOD,
YOU'RE SO FUCKING STUPID.
HOW DO YOU TALK TO SOMEONE WHO
BELIEVES IN THINGS LIKE THIS?
>> I'M NOT SURE YOU WIN OVER
EVERYBODY, YOU JUST HAVE TO WIN
ONE MORE THAN THE OTHER GUY.
I THINK YOU STILL HAVE TO TALK
TO THEM, YOU HAVE TO TALK COMMON
SENSE AND WHAT YOU BELIEVE IN
AND WHAT YOUR VISION IS FOR THE
COUNTRY MOVING FORWARD.
I THINK THAT IS IMPORTANT.
I THINK FOR SOME OF THOSE FOLKS
IT MAY TRIGGER SOMETHING IN HER
MIND THAT GOES I MIGHT BELIEVE
ALL THE STUFF BUT I LIKE THAT
PERSON AND THEY WILL END UP
VOTING FOR YOU.
>> CAN I TRY ONE WEIRD ARGUMENT
ON THIS AND MOST PEOPLE DON'T
BELIEVE WHAT I DO -- THIS IS
PART OF THE REASON I OBSESS OVER
THINGS LIKE THE FILIBUSTER.
WHEN YOU CAN'T PASS STUFF FAST
AND MAKE IT SO GOVERNMENT
CHANGES THINGS IN A WAY, WEIRD
SYMBOLIC POLITICS FILLS THE
GAPS.
NOTHING HAS ANY CONSEQUENCES.
YOU MIGHT HAVE PEOPLE OUT THERE
WHO ARE SAYING I DON'T LIKE THE
JEWISH SPACE LASERS BUT I DO
LIKE THERE'S A NEW ROAD TO MY
HOUSE.
FOR A LONG TIME IN AMERICAN
POLITICS THE WAY YOU WOULD
CHANGE MAJORITIES AS GOVERNING,
THEY GOT HEALTH CARE THROUGH
MEDICARE, THEY GOT THE NEW DEAL,
THEY LIKE REAGAN TAX CUTS, WHEN
GOVERNMENT STOPS BEING ABLE TO
MOVE QUICKLY ARE MUCH MORE
WORRIED ABOUT THIS THAN I AM
WORRIED ABOUT UNPOPULAR THINGS
GETTING REVERSED.
WHEN GOVERNMENT BECOMES PEOPLE
FIGHTING, NOBODY CARES WHAT YOU
BELIEVE.
BELIEVE IN SPACE LASERS, BELIEVE
THE SNOW.
>> Bill: YOU KNOW WHAT THEY
NEED TO?
THEY TRY TO GET RID OF EARMARKS.
>> THEY ARE BRINGING THEM BACK.
>> Bill: LITTLE BRIBES, THAT'S
HOW THINGS GET DONE.
WATCH SPIELBERG'S "LINCOLN."
HOW TO GET THE 13TH AMENDMENT
PASSED?
BRIBES.
YOU'RE LAUGHING BUT YOU KNOW
IT'S TRUE, YOU HAVE TO PROMISE
PEOPLE LITTLE THINGS.
>> EARMARKS AREN'T BRIBES,
EARMARKS ARE CONGRESSIONALLY
DIRECTED SPENDING.
>> Bill: YEAH, LIKE FOR THE
MUSEUM, IT'S OFTEN FOR NOTHING.
>> THEY HAVE TO BE ABLE TO BE
DEBATED.
>IF YOU WANT SOMEBODY WHO KNOWS
YOUR STATE SAYING WE NEED THIS
BRIDGE OR DO YOU WANT SOMEBODY
IN A CUBICLE WHO'S NEVER BEEN TO
MONTANA OR CALIFORNIA TO SEE
YOUR SOLAR PANELS?
>> Bill: I SAW MIKE LINDELL IS
IN THE NEWS, SHOW HIS PICTURE,
HE'S THE MY PILLOW GUY.
THEY COULD TRUMP SUPPORTER AND A
SUPER CHRISTIAN CONSPIRACY
THEORISTS, FORMER CRACKHEAD, I'M
NOT SAYING THAT AS A SLAM OR A
SLUR, HE IS VERY HONEST ABOUT I
IT.
HE REFORMED HIS LIFE, VERY GOOD.
[APPLAUSE]
LOOK HOW EASY IT IS TO GET THEM
TO APPLAUD.
HE'S BEING SUED BY THE DOMINION
VOTING MACHINE COMPANY FOR
$1.3 BILLION BECAUSE HE KEEPS
CLAIMING THE ELECTION WAS RIGGED
AND PHONY.
APPARENTLY HE'S NOT GOING TO GO
AWAY, WE THOUGHT IT WOULD BE A
VERY GOOD WEEK TO DO 24 THINGS
YOU DON'T KNOW ABOUT THE MY
PILLOW GUY.
24 THINGS.
I ONLY SWITCHED OVER TO
MYPILLOW AFTER MYCOCKSOCK DIDN'T
TAKE OFF.
[LAUGHTER]
IN HIGH SCHOOL, I WAS VOTED
"MOST LIKELY TO SELL A SACK OF
FOAM TO IDIOTS."
[LAUGHTER]
I NO LONGER DO DRUGS.
I JUST SOUND LIKE I DO.
[LAUGHTER]
[APPLAUSE]
I TOOK THE "MASTERMIND" OUT OF
"CRIMINAL MASTERMIND."
[LAUGHTER]
WHEN I WAS A CRACK
ADDICT, I KNEW I'D HIT ROCK
BOTTOM WHEN I THOUGHT ABOUT
SELLING MY BOTTOM FOR A ROCK.
[LAUGHTER]
IT'S A JOKE.
I'M A CHRISTIAN, AND THE BIBLE
SAYS HOMOSEXUALITY IS A SIN.
BUT SOMETIMES A GUY'S GOTTA
SCORE AN EIGHT BALL.
AGAIN, WE'RE JUST KIDDING.
IF HE DIDN'T DO THAT, WE'RE JUST
MAKING JOKES.
MIKE PENCE SAYS MY PILLOWS ARE
HIS FAVORITE TO BITE.
[LAUGHTER]
I'M AN EVANGELICAL CHRISTIAN.
AND IF YOU WERE A DIPSHIT WHO
MADE $300 MILLION SELLING
PILLOWS, YOU'D BELIEVE IN GOD,
TOO.
[LAUGHTER]
WE KID WITH GOOD GRACE AND HUMOR
AND IT'S ALL WITH LOVE.
I WANT TO TALK ABOUT COVID NOW,
CAN WE BE A LITTLE HAPPY ABOUT
WHERE WE ARE NOW COVID WISE?
THEY REALLY DON'T WANT YOU -- I
THINK IT'S COUNTERPRODUCTIVE, I
REALLY DO.
THE CONSTANT GLOOM, IT'S ALWAYS
A NEW STRAIN FROM SATAN COMING.
WE ARE COMING UP ON ONE YEAR OF
SHIT AND I'M SORRY, CAN I QUOTE
DR. MARTY MAKARY, SURGEON AND
PROFESSOR OF HEALTH POLICY AT
JOHNS HOPKINS SAYS OF THE
CURRENT TRAJECTORY I EXPECT
COVID WILL BE MOSTLY GONE BY
APRIL ALLOWING AMERICANS TO
RESUME NORMAL LIFE.
I DON'T KNOW WHO DR. MARTY
MAKARY IS AND I DON'T CARE, I
LOVE HIM, I THINK HE IS RIGHT.
HE'S A PROFESSOR, WHATEVER,
WHOEVER THE FUCK HE IS, I LOVE
HIM.
SIX WEEKS AGO, IT WAS 300,000
CASES, NOW IT'S DOWN TO 50,000,
THE VACCINES ARE WORKING,
JOHNSON & JOHNSON IS COMING ON
THE MARKET YOU GET IT RIGHT WITH
YOUR PIMPLE CREAM I GUESS AT THE
MARKET.
BY SUMMER, THEY'RE GOING TO BE
GIVING THIS SHIT AWAY, THERE'S
PROBABLY GOING TO BE MORE THAN
ENOUGH.
IN FIVE WEEKS' TIME BY THE END
OF MARCH, WE WILL PROBABLY
VACCINATE 150 MILLION PEOPLE.
IS THAT THE WRONG APPROACH TO
SAY -- BECAUSE OTHERWISE I THINK
PEOPLE GO "WHAT'S THE POINT OF
EVEN TRYING, IF WE ARE ALWAYS
GOING TO BE LIVING WITH IT."
MASKS FOREVER, I DON'T WANT TO
WEAR A MASK FOREVER, THAT'S NOT
HEALTHY EITHER -- I GUESS WE
HAVE TO DO IT, BREATHING OR
STALE AIR, NOT HEALTHY.
I DON'T WANT TO WEAR A MASK
FOREVER.
>> I'VE BEEN WRITING THE MOST
PESSIMISTIC COLUMNS FOR A YEAR,
YOU CAN SEE THIS PIECE I DID IN
"THE NEW YORK TIMES" ABOUT HOW
THESE WERE GOING TO BE A PERIOD
OF BEFORE THE VACCINES COME.
I THINK PEOPLE ARE AFRAID TO BE
CAUGHT WRONG AND OPTIMISTIC BUT
I AM FEELING MORE OPTIMISTIC FOR
THREE REASONS.
WHEN I WROTE THAT, WHEN THESE
STRAINS WERE EXPLODING IN THE
U.K. AND PORTUGAL AND DENMARK
AND SOUTH AFRICA, YOU LOOK AT
THE NUMBERS LIKE OH, MY GOD,
COME UP BETWEEN HERE AND THE
VACCINES IS GOING TO BE A PERIOD
OF UNBELIEVABLE DEATH AND
DESTRUCTION AND OTHER STRAINS
STRAINS ARE UNDER CONTROL.
WE COULD BE WRONG IN THREE WEEKS
IF THE FACTS CHANGE, I'LL CHANGE
MY MIND.
THEY ARE DOWN IN THE U.K., DOWN
IN PORTUGAL, DOWN TO
SOUTH AFRICA, MEANWHILE THE
VACCINES ARE UNBELIEVABLY
EFFECTIVE, THE PFIZER, MODERNA,
JOHNSON & JOHNSON, AND
ASTRAZENECA TRIALS, NOT ONE
SIGNAL PERSON WAS HOSPITALIZED
OR DIED, THOSE ARE
EXTRAORDINARY.
AND AMERICA HAVING DONE
EVERYTHING WRONG FOR A YEAR, WE
DID TERRIBLE JOB ON A LOT OF
STUFF FOR A YEAR, WE ACTUALLY
HAVE THE BEST VACCINATION
PROGRAM OF ANY MAJOR COUNTRY
SAFE MAY BE THE U.K. IN THE
WORLD.
WE COULD REALLY BE IN AN
EXTRAORDINARY PLACE IN 60 DAYS.
THERE ARE ALWAYS THINGS THAT
COULD GO WRONG, WE GET ENOUGH 65
AND OVER FOLKS VACCINATED WHICH
IS HAPPENING REAL QUICK AND
PEOPLE WITH COMORBIDITIES.
THE LEVEL OF RISK IN 60 DAYS,
100 DAYS BY SUMMER.
IT'S NOT GOING TO GO TO ZERO --
>> Bill: AND WE CAN'T EXPECT
IT TO.
>> WE CAN GO TO SOMETHING WHERE
YOU CAN HAVE A NORMAL LIFE
AGAIN.
GET VACCINATED.
>> Bill: PEOPLE CANNOT EXPECT
NUMBERS TO EVER GO TO ZERO, LIFE
IS A ROUGH GAME, IT IS.
NONE OF US GETS OUT OF IT ALIVE.
>> THINGS ARE MOVING VERY WELL
AND WE NEED TO RECOGNIZE THAT.
WE NEED TO THINK FROM A MEDICAL
STANDPOINT, I'M A FARMER, NOT A
DOCTOR, THERE ARE THINGS THAT
COULD GO WRONG.
WHAT THEY ARE SAYING IS CONTINUE
TO WEAR THE MASK, SOCIAL
DISTANCE, USE GOOD HYGIENE, WE
ARE HEADED IN THE RIGHT
DIRECTION.
I DON'T KNOW ANYBODY THAT'S NOT
JUST SICK OF THIS VIRUS AND THEY
WANT TO GET IT BEHIND US BUT
THERE ARE GOOD SIGNS OUT THERE.
WHEN I FLEW IN THE PLANE IT WAS
TWO-THIRDS FULL AND IT WAS A BIG
PLANE COME I HAVEN'T SEEN THAT
SINCE FEBRUARY OF LAST YEAR.
THINGS ARE MOVING IN THE RIGHT
DIRECTION, I THINK WE SHOULD
APPLAUD.
>> Bill: I DON'T KNOW WHAT
THEY WERE DOING ON THE PLANES
BUT I MADE FUN OF THAT, I SAID
WHY CAN I GET ON A PLANE
BREATHING RIGHT NEXT TO THE GUY,
HIS RECYCLED COUGHS AND FARTS
AND I CAN'T GO TO A BASEBALL
GAME AND SIT OUTSIDE WHERE IT'S
HEALTHIER, 3 FEET AWAY FROM
SOMEBODY ELSE?
THEY MUST BE SCRUBBING THE AIR
ON THOSE PLANES BECAUSE I NEVER
HEAR OF SOMETHING GOING WRONG ON
A PLANE, WHY CAN'T WE DO THAT
ANYWHERE?
>> IT'S THE VENTILATION SYSTEM.
>> Bill: ONLY AVAILABLE AT
30,000 FEET?
>> PLANES ARE SMALL, THERE'S NOT
THAT MUCH AIR.
>> Bill: IT'S BEYOND OUR
TECHNOLOGICAL CAPABILITY?
>> IT'S INFRASTRUCTURE SPENDING,
A BUNCH OF THE MONEY, THERE'S
$130 BILLION TO RETROFIT
SCHOOLS, LOVE THAT IS
VENTILATION, WE COULD SPEND
MONEY TO MAKE THE WORLD SAFER.
POLICY CAN DO GOOD THINGS IF WE
DECIDE TO DO IT, THE PLANES HAVE
THE REASON TO DO IT AND THEY
HAVE THE MONEY TO SPEND.
WE SHOULD HAVE A LOT MORE
VENTILATED, NOT JUST FOR COVID,
AIR POLLUTION IS WAY WORSE THAN
PEOPLE THINK ALL THE TIME.
WE CAN MAKE THE WORLD CLEANER,
PEOPLE AREN'T GOING TO GET
SICK -- LET'S SPEND SOME MONEY
ON VENTILATION.
>> Bill: SPEAKING OF SPENDING
MONEY, YOU ARE THE DEFENSE --
>> CHAIR OF THE DEFENSE
SUBCOMMITTEE.
>> Bill: APPROPRIATIONS.
THAT'S A BIG JOB, VERY IMPORTANT
FOR A LOT OF THE MONEY GOES.
MILITARY BUDGET CONGRESS JUST
PASSED, 50% HIGHER THAN THE
COLD WAR AVERAGE WHEN WE WERE IN
AN ARMS RACE.
ALL TOLD THE U.S. MILITARY
BUDGET IN 2019 EXCEEDED THE NEXT
TEN COUNTRIES DEFENSE BUDGETS
COMBINED.
I'VE BEEN ON THIS FOR 25 YEARS.
>> YOU'RE GOOD AT IT.
>> Bill: IT'S JUST TERRIBLE.
THE F-35, WE SPENT $1.7 TRILLION
ON THIS THING FOR 20 YEARS
TRYING TO MAKE IT A THING AND
NOW WE REALIZE IT WILL NEVER BE
A THING, THE F-35.
WE JUST BOMBED SYRIA AND WE
DIDN'T USE IT.
IT WAS SUPPOSED TO REPLACE THE
F-16, IT'S A TURKEY.
I FEEL BAD ABOUT THIS, THAT'S
1.7 TRILLION -- SO OUR PENTAGON
BUDGET IS SO BLOATED AND WE CAN
PLACE THE TERM DEFENSE I THINK
WITH DEFENSE CONTRACTORS.
A LOT OF THIS MONEY IS GOING TO
DEFENSE CONTRACTORS.
IT'S SOCIALISM FOR DEFENSE
CONTRACTORS, IT'S NOT REALLY
MAKING US SAFER, IT'S NOT
UP-TO-DATE ON WHAT THE THREATS
ARE.
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
ARGUE, SENATOR JON TESTER, GOING
TO BE THE ONE BRAVE ENOUGH TO
ABIDE BY WHAT EISENHOWER SAID
WHEN HE LEFT ABOUT THE
MILITARY-INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX AND
TAKE THEM ON?
>> SURE.
IT'S ABOUT ACCOUNTABILITY.
THERE ISN'T ANYBODY IN THIS ROOM
OR ANYBODY WATCHING THIS SHOW
WHO DOESN'T WANT THIS COUNTRY TO
BE SAFE, THEY WANTED TO BE SAFE.
THE QUESTION IS ARE WE SPENDING
THE MONEY IN THE RIGHT PLACE TO
KEEP THIS COUNTRY SAFE?
YOU SAY NO AND YOU MAY BE
CORRECT.
IT'S UP TO PEOPLE LIKE ME TO ASK
QUESTIONS AND HOLD PEOPLE
ACCOUNTABLE AND MAKE SURE THESE
DOLLARS ARE SPENT IN A WAY THAT
TRULY IS GETTING THE BIGGEST
BANG FOR THE TAXPAYER.
BILL WOULD SAY WE ARE WASTING A
LOT OF DOUGH FOR 25 YEARS.
I WANT TO BE ABLE TO GET THESE
FOLKS IN FRONT OF ME AND I WANT
TO GET FOLKS FROM THE OUTSIDE
SAYING THIS IS WHY THEY ARE
RIGHT OR THEY ARE WRONG BUT THIS
MONEY NEEDS TO BE SPENT.
YOU MAKE GOOD DECISIONS BASED ON
GOOD INFORMATION AND IF I'M ABLE
TO GET GOOD INFORMATION, WE WILL
CHECK AT THE WAIST IS THERE.
>> DO YOU THINK WE WOULD BE
SAFER OR LESS SAFE IF WE TOOK
HALF THE MONEY WE SPENT ON
PLANES AND PUT 25 THAT MONEY
FROM CYBERSECURITY, THEY AREN'T
GOING TO COME AT US FROM THE AI
AIR.
[APPLAUSE]
>> Bill: WE ARE JUST FIGHTING
THE LAST WAR, WE ARE FIGHTING
THREE WARS AGO, WE ARE FIGHTING
THE SOVIET UNION IN 1970.
>> WE NEVER END ANY OF THE WARS
WE ARE STILL FIGHTING, WE ARE
STILL IN AFGHANISTAN.
>> Bill: THAT'S WHAT TRUMP
SAYS, OH, MY GOSH.
THAT'S WHY YOU CAN'T GO BY HE
SAID, HE MUST BE WRONG BECAUSE
OF THE SAME THING -- LET'S GO BY
WHAT IDEAS ARE RIGHT.
>> THE TRUTH IS I'VE HAD THIS
CHAIRMANSHIP FOR TWO WEEKS AND
THE POINT YOU MAKE IS ABSENTLY
SPOT ON.
WE NEED TO BE PREPARED FOR THE
NEXT WAR, NOT THE LAST ONE AND I
COULDN'T AGREE WITH YOU MORE, WE
NEED TO TAKE A LOOK AT
CYBERSECURITY AND MAKE SURE
WHERE WE NEED TO BE IN THE WORLD
STAGE TO BE ABLE TO KEEP THE
COUNTRY SAFE.
>> Bill: CAN I AND THE TIME WE
HAVE LEFT TALK A LITTLE BIT
ABOUT SOMETHING I DID NOT WANT
TO TALK ABOUT -- IT'S TRUMP.
AFTER HE LOST, PEOPLE WOULD KEEP
COMING UP TO ME AND SAYING AND I
WOULD SAY HE IS GONE, STOP
OBSESSING COME I DON'T WANT TO
TALK ABOUT HIM.
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
KNOWING WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN
THIS WEEK AT CPAC, I MUST BRING
THIS UP, THE SHARK IS NOT GONE,
WE NEED A BIGGER BOAT.
THE SHARK WENT OUT TO SEA FOR A
WHILE, IT'S GOING TO COME BACK
AND EAT MORE PEOPLE ON THE SHOR
SHORE.
HE IS GOING TO SAY SUNDAY THAT
HE IS THE PRESUMPTIVE NOMINEE
FOR 2024, NO ONE IS GOING TO
OPPOSE HIM.
THERE ARE NINE PANELS AT THE
CPAC CONVENTION ALL ABOUT HOW
THE ELECTION WAS STOLEN FROM A
NUN ABOUT IT WAS LOST.
THAT'S WHERE THEY ARE.
IF YOU THINK 2024 IS NOT GOING
TO BE A NAIL-BITER OR HE ISN'T
GOING TO BE THE NOMINEE, I THINK
YOU'RE BEING NAIVE.
>> I AGREE WITH YOUR ASSESSMENT
100%, HE'S ABSOLUTE THE FRONT
RUNNER RIGHT NOW AND MAY WELL BE
THEIR NOMINEE IN 2024 I DON'T
THINK THERE'S ANY DOUBT ABOUT
IT.
TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT MITCH
McCONNELL SAID AFTER THE
IMPEACHMENT, HE RAILED ON HIM,
YESTERDAY HE SAID HE'S A NOMINEE
I'M VOTING FOR HIM.
>> Bill: YES, HE SAID HE WAS
RESPONSIBLE FOR THE RIOT AND
IMMORAL AND NOW HE'S GOING TO
VOTE FOR HIM.
>> I WILL SAY THIS FOREVER, THE
PROBLEM IS NOT DONALD TRUMP, IT
IS THE REPUBLICAN PARTY THAT
ENABLES HIM.
IT IS MITCH McCONNELL, IT IS
ALL OF THESE FOLKS THAT COME IN
AND DON'T HAVE THE COURAGE TO
SAY EVEN JUST YOU ARE BAD FOR
THE PARTY AND YOU HAVE TO GO --
STEVE SCALISE COME ALL THESE
PEOPLE WHO WALK AROUND D.C. IN A
SUIT AND TIE AND ON NORMAL
REPUBLICANS ARE THE ONES
ENABLING HIM.
AND AT SOME POINT THIS IS WHAT
HISTORY SHOWS OVER AND OVER AND
OVER AGAIN, THE ESTABLISHMENT OF
THE RIGHT-WING PARTY WILL WILL
NOT STAND UP TO THE DEMAGOGUE
PLAYERS WHO TAKE IT OVER, YOUR
DEMOCRACY IS AT RISK OF GENUINE
COLLAPSE.
>> Bill: THE TWO WINGS OF THE
PARTY THAT I CAN SEE OUR TRUMP
AND THEN THE PEOPLE WHO WANT TO
TAKE HIS VOTERS, WHO WANT TO BE
HIS SUCCESSOR.
THERE'S TED CRUZ AND JOSH HAWLEY
AND NIKKI HALEY, THEY WANT TO BE
THE NOMINEE BUT THEY ARE NOT
ABOUT TO GET RID OF HIS VOTERS.
THEY JUST WANT TO BE TRUMP'S
SUCCESSOR.
>> THERE IS ONE THING BEFORE THE
JAG WIRE EIGHT YOUR FACE TO SAY
I THINK A JAGUAR ISN'T GOING TO
EAT MY FACE COME AFTER WHEN YOU
HAVE NO FACE AND YOU'VE ALREADY
GONE THROUGH THE CAPITAL
INSURRECTION AND SAY MAYBE NEXT
TIME IT WILL WORK OUT
DIFFERENTLY.
THEY HAVE NO CONTROL OVER THIS,
THEY CAN'T KEEP IT IN CHECK.
[APPLAUSE]
>> Bill: LET'S NOT BE
INSENSITIVE TO THE FACELESS.
THANK YOU GUYS, YOU WERE
TERRIFIC.
IT'S TIME FOR NEW RULES,
EVERYBODY, NEW RULES.
NEW RULE: THE COLORADO MAN WHO
WAS FEEDING HIS KIDS LUNCH WHEN
A PIECE OF A BOEING 777 LANDED
IN HIS KITCHEN - MUST PROMISE
THE FIRST THING HE DID AFTER IT
CRASHED ONTO THE FLOOR WAS TURN
TO THEM AND SAY.'SEE WHAT
HAPPENS WHEN YOU DON'T FINISH
YOUR CARROTS?"
[LAUGHTER]
[APPLAUSE]
NEW RULE: SINCE AMERICANS LOVE
CHALLENGES, THE ICE BUCKET
CHALLENGE, THE CINNAMON
CHALLENGE.
THEY MUST NOW TAKE
THE REDNECK HEADLINE CHALLENGE.
ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS COME UP
WITH A HEADLINE THAT'S MORE
REDNECK THAN THIS ONE THAT RAN
IN AN ALABAMA NEWSPAPER THIS
WEEK: "TEEN REUNITED WITH PET
ROOSTER LOST AT ALABAMA CRACKER
BARREL AFTER CIVIL WAR
REENACTMENT."
[LAUGHTER]
[APPLAUSE]
THAT'S REAL.
HERE'S MY ENTRY: "HUMPING
COUSINS KNOCK OVER TIKI TORCH,
SET CONFEDERATE FLAG ABLAZE AND
CAUSE METH LAB EXPLOSION IN
TRAILER PARK."
YOUR TURN!
NEW RULE: NOW THAT DAFT PUNK ARE
BREAKING UP, THEY HAVE TO PROVE
THAT THEY WERE EVER TOGETHER.
BECAUSE ALL WE EVER SAW WAS TWO
HELMETS.
THIS COULD BE THE DUDES WHO
RECORDED "GET LUCKY," OR IT
COULD BE TIM ALLEN AND KENNY G.
WE JUST DON'T KNOW.
IN FACT, ALL WE DO KNOW IS THAT
THEY WERE BROKEN UP BY - ROBOT
YOKO ONO.
[LAUGHTER]
[APPLAUSE]
NEW RULE: SOMEONE HAS TO BREAK
IT TO EVERY MAN WHO LIVED
BETWEEN 1850 AND 1950 THAT HIS
WIFE WAS A LESBIAN.
I'M SORRY, MR. DUDLEY, BUT I'VE
SEEN ALL 87 OF THESE MOVIES AND
WHILE I KNOW YOU'RE THINKING
OH, RUBBISH!
SHE'S JUST GONE OUT RIDING."
WEEEELL, NOT EXACTLY.
BUT IN A WAY, YES.
[LAUGHTER]
[APPLAUSE]
NEW RULE: NOW THAT A PACK OF
STRAY DOGS WITH BLUE FUR HAVE
BEEN FOUND NEAR AN ABANDONED
CHEMICAL PLANT IN RUSSIA, LET'S
PRETEND IT'S A NEW DESIGNER
BREED CALLED A "SMURF-A-POO" AND
SELL IT TO WHITE FAMILIES IN THE
SUBURBS.
THEY'LL LOVE IT.
YOUR YOUNGEST CHILD WILL HAVE A
TRUSTED COMPANION, AND YOUR
DEPRESSED TEEN CAN LICK ITS FUR
AND HALLUCINATE.
[LAUGHTER]
[APPLAUSE]
LIBERALS NEED A "STAND YOUR
GROUND" LAW.
FOR CANCEL CULTURE.
SO THAT WHEN THE WOKE MOB COMES
AFTER YOU FOR SOME RIDICULOUS
OFFENSE YOU'LL STAND YOUR
GROUND.
STOP APOLOGIZING - BECAUSE I
CAN'T KEEP UP ANYMORE WITH WHO'S
ON THE SHIT LIST.
[LAUGHTER]
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
LATELY, REPUBLICANS HAVE BEEN
TRYING TO APPROPRIATE THE TERM
"CANCEL CULTURE" TO DESCRIBE
WHAT HAPPENS TO THEM WHEN THEY
GET A JUST COMEUPPANCE FOR
ACTUAL CRIMES - AND THIS
MUDDYING THE WATER IS
UNFORTUNATE BECAUSE CANCEL
CULTURE IS REAL, IT'S INSANE,
AND IT'S GROWING EXPONENTIALLY.
AND IT'S COMING TO A
NEIGHBORHOOD NEAR YOU.
IF YOU THINK IT'S JUST FOR
CELEBRITIES, NO - IN AN ERA
WHERE EVERYONE IS ONLINE,
EVERYONE IS A "PUBLIC FIGURE."
IT'S LIKE WE'RE ALL TRAPPED IN
"THE HILLS HAVE EYES.
AND WIFI."
TAKE MR. EMMANUEL CAFFERTY.
HE IS - WAS - A SAN DIEGO GAS &
ELECTRIC WORKER, BUT HE GOT
FIRED BECAUSE SOMEONE REPORTED
HIM MAKING A "WHITE SUPREMACIST
HAND GESTURE" OUTSIDE THE WINDOW
OF HIS TRUCK.
BUT HE'S NOT A WHITE
SUPREMACIST; HE'S LATINO.
AND HE WASN'T MAKING A HAND
GESTURE, HE WAS PROBABLY JUST
FLICKING A BOOGER.
IS THIS REALLY WHO WE WANT TO
BECOME - A SOCIETY OF PHONY,
CLENCHED-ASSHOLED AVATARS,
WALKING ON EGGSHELLS, ALWAYS
LOOKING OVER YOUR SHOULDER ABOUT
GETTING RATTED OUT FOR SOMETHING
THAT ACTUALLY HAS NOTHING TO DO
WITH YOUR CHARACTER OR MORALS?
THINK ABOUT EVERYTHING YOU'VE
EVER TEXTED, E MAILED, SEARCHED
FOR, TWEETED, BLOGGED, OR SAID
IN PASSING - OR NOW, EVEN, JUST
WITNESSED!
SOMEONE HAD A CONFEDERATE FLAG
IN THEIR DORM ROOM IN 1990 AND
YOU DIDN'T DOOOO SOMETHING?
YOU LAUGHED AT A WOODY ALLEN
MOVIE?
[LAUGHTER]
ANDY WARHOL WAS WRONG - IN THE
FUTURE, EVERYONE WILL EXPERIENCE
NOT 15 MINUTES OF FAME, BUT 15
MINUTES OF SHAME.
62% OF AMERICANS SAY THEY HAVE
OPINIONS THEY'RE AFRAID TO
SHARE.
80% OF AMERICANS - YOUNG, OLD,
RICH, POOR, CONSERVATIVE,
LIBERAL, WHITE, MINORITY - ALL
HATE THE CURRENT ATMOSPHERE OF
HYPERSENSITIVITY.
YEAH, EVERYBODY HATES IT, AND NO
ONE STANDS UP TO IT.
BECAUSE IT'S ALWAYS THE SAFE
THING IS TO SWALLOW WHAT YOU
REALLY THINK AND JUST JOIN THE
MOB.
SO IF SOMEONE ASKS YOU IF JUSTIN
TIMBERLAKE OWES BRITNEY SPEARS
AN APOLOGY FOR NOT BEING A
PERFECT BOYFRIEND WHEN THEY WERE
TEENAGERS.
JUST SAY YES.
AS JUSTIN DID, ISSUING AN ABJECT
APOLOGY AND THEN VOWING TO
RETURN SEXY BACK TO WHERE HE
FOUND IT.
[LAUGHTER]
NOW, YOU MAY BE ASKING, "WHY ARE
WE EVEN TALKING ABOUT THIS NOW?"
WELL, THE NEW YORK TIMES DID A
DOCUMENTARY ABOUT BRITNEY SPEARS
- REALLY - WAIT TILL YOU SEE THE
SEARING EXPOSÉ THEY HAVE COMING
UP ON PEBBLES.
[LAUGHTER]
ANYWAY, IN IT WE FIND OUT THAT
TEENAGE JUSTIN HADN'T BECOME A
PERFECT PERSON YET AND WHEN
ASKED IF HE HAD SEX WITH THE
GIRL WHOSE BIG HIT WAS CALLED
"I'M A SLAVE FOR YOU" - SAID
YES.
WHAT A CAD, ALTHOUGH I TRULY
BELIEVE THAT ANY GUY WILLING TO
WEAR MATCHING OUTFITS CAN'T BE
ALL BAD.
[LAUGHTER]
[APPLAUSE]
NOW, AS FOR A SONG CALLED "I'M A
SLAVE FOR YOU", NOTHING?
THE MANDALORIAN'S GINA CARANO IS
A PERSON I'D NEVER HEARD OF, AND
RESENT THAT I HAVE NOW.
SHE'S SOME CONSERVATIVE
WRESTLING CHICK WHO KICKS ASS IN
A SHOW I WOULDN'T WATCH IF I WAS
IN PRISON.
AND SHE MADE SOME NAZI ANALOGY -
WHO DOESN'T THESE DAYS?
"YOU'RE LIKE THE NAZIS" IS THE
NEW "I DON'T LIKE YOU," AND IT'S
ALWAYS OKAY WHEN TRUMP IS THE
NAZI.
THAT DISQUALIFIES HER FROM
MARCHING AROUND PLANET
WHO-GIVES-A SHIT IN A HELMET?
BY THE WAY, "YOU CAN'T WORK IN
HOLLYWOOD IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE
WHAT WE BELIEVE", IN THE 1950S,
THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT THE LEFT
COMPLAINED THEY WERE BEING TOLD.
THE WEEK BEFORE, IT WAS CHRIS
HARRISON'S TURN IN THE BARREL -
HE'S THE HOST OF "THE BACHELOR"
AND IS "STEPPING AWAY" TO
EDUCATE HIMSELF "ON A MORE
PROFOUND AND PRODUCTIVE LEVEL
THAN EVER BEFORE."
OH GOOD, BECAUSE ALL MY LIFE
I'VE LOOKED UP TO THE HOST OF
THE "FUCK A STRANGER" SHOW, AND
[LAUGHTER]
[APPLAUSE]
IF I THOUGHT I COULDN'T COUNT ON
"THE BACHELOR" FOR MORAL
GUIDANCE, I DON'T KNOW IF I
COULD GO ON.
AND OF COURSE HE'S NOT "STEPPING
AWAY" BECAUSE HE'S THE HOST OF A
TELEVISED SNAKE PIT WHERE 32
FEMALE CONTESTANTS ARE TRAPPED
IN THE SORORITY HOUSE FROM HELL
[LAUGHTER]
- IT'S BECAUSE HE WOULDN'T THROW
ONE OF THE CONTESTANTS UNDER THE
BUS WHEN IT CAME TO LIGHT THAT
IN COLLEGE SHE ATTENDED A DRESS
UP-LIKE-WE'RE-IN THE-OLD-SOUTH
PARTY - WHICH IS NOT A TYPE OF
PARTY WE SHOULD BE THROWING IN
THAT IT WINKS AT A CIVILIZATION
BUILT ON SLAVERY.
BUT APPARENTLY IN 2018, MILLIONS
OF PEOPLE WERE STILL DOING IT -
MATURE PEOPLE UNDERSTAND HUMANS
ARE CONTINUALLY EVOLVING, AS
OPPOSED TO WOKEVILLE WHERE
THEY'RE ALWAYS SHOCKED WE DIDN'T
EMERGE ENLIGHTENED FROM THE
PRIMORDIAL OOZE.
[LAUGHTER]
WHAT'S CHRIS HARRISON SUPPOSED
TO DO, BUILD A TIME MACHINE, GO
BACK TO 2018 AND KNOCK THE MINT
JULEPS OUT OF THEIR HANDS?
MAYBE WHILE HE'S TIME
TRAVELLING, HE CAN HAVE A WORD
WITH THAT ASSHOLE ABRAHAM
LINCOLN, WHO'S NOW CANCELLED IN
SAN FRANCISCO AND ILLINOIS -
YES, THE LAND OF LINCOLN
MIGHT CANCEL LINCOLN.
MEMO TO SOCIAL JUSTICE WARRIORS:
WHEN WHAT YOU'RE DOING SOUNDS
LIKE AN ONION HEADLINE, STOP.
OKAY, THAT'S OUR SHOW.
I WANT TO THANK MY GUESTS EZRA
KLEIN, SENATOR JON TESTER AND
MEGYN KELLY.
WE'LL SEE YOU NEXT WEEK!
THANK YOU, FOLKS!
FOR BEING TESTED IN EVERY WAY.
