[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
>> Bill: HELLO, THANK YOU VERY
MUCH.
LOOK AT THESE HAPPY PEOPLE.
YOUR VERY KIND KIND, I
APPRECIATE THAT.
THANK YOU, I'M HUMBLED BY YOUR
APPLAUSE.
GERMANIC I KNOW WHY YOU'RE
HAPPY, IT'S BASEBALL SEASON.
THERE'S SOMETHING MAGICAL ABOUT
L.A. BASEBALL, THE SUN ON YOUR
FACE, THE SMELL OF SUSHI.
IT'S A WEIRD TOWN, IT REALLY IS.
THEY HAVE TO DO THINGS, THE
PROMOTIONS OF THE BALL GAME,
EVERYONE HAS T THE DAY, HERE WE
HAVE CUCK CUCK DAY -- WHAT YOUR
WIFE GOBBLE A WIENER.
THE OTHER HUGE STORY, WILL SMITH
HAS BEEN THROWN OUT OF THE
OSCARS, THEY WERE TRYING TO TAKE
AWAY THE TROPHY ITSELF THERE TO
HAVE YOU SEEN IT?
HE'S GOT THE OSCAR.
WHAT ABOUT IF WE JUST TAKE AWAY
YOUR BALD TROPHY?
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
HE SAID I CAN'T, I'VE GOT A
PRENUP.
WE KID, WE MAKE JOKES HERE.
[LAUGHTER]
BIG NEWS HERE, CAN TOM G BROWN N
JACKSON IS NOW ON THE
SUPREME COURT.
WHEN IT WAS ANNOUNCED IN THE
SENATE COME ALL THE REPUBLICANS
HEADED FOR THE EXITS.
REALLY.
IT LOOKED LIKE ONE OF THOSE
OLDIES CONCERTS WHEN THE BAND
SAYS WE ARE GOING TO PLAY SONGS
FROM OUR NEW ALBUM.
[LAUGHTER]
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
THE ONLY ONE WHO I SAW IT STAY
AND WAS MITT ROMNEY.
[APPLAUSE]
FOR A CULT, THE MORMONS ARE VERY
POLITE.
THIS IS THE NEW THING WITH THE
REPUBLICAN PARTY.
THEY CALL ANYBODY THEY DON'T
LIKE A PEDOPHILE.
MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE CALLED
MITT ROMNEY -- BECAUSE HE VOTED
FOR THE NEW SUPREME COURT, AND
THE OTHER TWO REPUBLICANS WHO
VOTED FOR -- MITT ROMNEY IS
PRO-PEDOPHILE?
WOULD YOU THINK FOR A SECOND
ABOUT LEAVING YOUR KID WITH
MITT ROMNEY FOR AN HOUR?
SERIOUSLY.
[APPLAUSE]
HE MIGHT BAPTIZE THEM.
[LAUGHTER]
THE MORMONS, I'VE GOT TO SAY,
THEIR BIG COLLEGES CALLED BRING
'EM YOUNG.
THIS IS THE NEW TALKING POINT IN
MAGA NATION.
DON'T SAY GAY AND GROOMING.
EVERYBODY'S GROOMING.
IF YOU'VE EVER SEEN TRUMP
BALLET, ONE THING THESE PEOPLE
WILL NOT STAND FOR IS GROOMING.
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
I THINK THIS IS COMING FROM
QANON.
AND I WILL ASK THE PANEL, MAYBE
THEY KNOW.
QANON WITH THE ONES TALKING
ABOUT -- REMEMBER, DEMOCRATS EAT
BABIES.
THEY EAT BABIES AND THEY HAVE
SEX WITH CHILDREN?
FIRST OF ALL, HOW DOES THAT
WORK?
HOW COULD YOU DO BOTH?
IF YOU ARE EATING BABIES, AREN'T
YOU DEVOURING YOUR FUTURE DATING
POOL?
I THOUGHT WE WERE DONE WITH
THESE ISSUES BUT FLORIDA PASSED
THAT DON'T SAY GAY BILL AND NOW
THE OTHER STATES, COPYCAT STATES
ARE MAKING IT MORE SEVERE.
ALABAMA IS HAVING A DON'T SAY
GAY BILL WHICH IS MORE SEVERE,
WHICH IS GOING TO RUIN THE
UTOPIA.
[LAUGHTER]
[APPLAUSE]
OF COURSE THEY ALL HAVE TO GO
FURTHER -- LOUISIANA HAS ONE
NOW.
THEY'RE GOING TO VOTE ON WHICH
SAYS YOU CAN'T TALK ABOUT GENDER
IDENTITY FROM KINDERGARTEN
THROUGH 12TH GRADE.
THEY ARE LIKE IF YOU ARE A
HIGH SCHOOL SENIOR AND YOU DON'T
KNOW THE DRAMA TEACHER AND THE
WOMEN'S BASKETBALL COACH ARE
GAY, THAT'S ON YOU.
OKAY, WE'VE GOT A GREAT SHOW,
NANCY MACLANE AND DAVID
LEONHARDT ARE HERE, BUT FIRST.
HE'S THE PULITZER PRIZE-WINNING
PLAYWRIGHT AND AUTHOR OF
"RECESSIONAL: THE DEATH OF FREE
SPEECH AND THE COST OF A FREE
LUNCH" DAVID MAMET IS HERE!
>> WHAT A PLEASURE, IT'S BEEN A
LONG TIME.
>> Bill: YOU WANT ME TO SHOW
THEM NOW?
>> IT'S UP TO YOU TWO YOU TALK,
IT'S YOUR SHOW.
>> Bill: I WANT YOU TO TALK
AND WE ARE GOING TO BOTH TALK.
[LAUGHTER]
I WAS GOING THROUGH YOUR LIST OF
PLAYS, MOVIES, BOOKS, THE OUTPUT
IS AMAZING.
IT'S PRODIGIOUS.
JUST THE ONES THAT ARE HOUSEHOLD
NAMES AND PLAYS THAT AMERICANS
DON'T EVEN SEE ANYMORE FROM
"GLENGARRY GLEN ROSS," AMERICAN
BUFFALO, THEN YOU GO THROUGH THE
MOVIES THAT YOU HAVE EITHER
WRITTEN OR DIRECTED OR BOTH.
MY QUESTION IS, YOU ARE 74 NOW,
THIS IS IMPORTANT TO ME BECAUSE
I'LL BE 74 IN EIGHT YEARS.
[LAUGHTER]
THIS AMAZING ENERGY YOU HAVE HAD
TO PRODUCE AT THIS RATE, DO YOU
STILL HAVE IT?
>> ABSOLUTELY SO.
>> Bill: YOU LOOK THE SAME.
>> ONE THAT I SEE YOU LAST, TEN
YEARS AGO?
>> Bill: SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
>> EVERY MORNING I GET UP I GO
TO THE OFFICE SIX DAYS A WEEK
AND I SPENT ALL THE TIME IN THE
OFFICE AND I WAS TALKING TO MY
DAUGHTER WHO HAS EVERYBODY KNOWS
FROM FLIGHT ATTENDANT, THE
GIRLS -- SHE SAYS WHERE YOU'RE
GOING AND I SAID I'M GOING TO
THE OFFICE AND SHE SAYS
GOOD NIGHT BECAUSE IT SEEMS TO
ME THAT'S ALL I DO ALL DAY AS I
TAKE A NAP.
[LAUGHTER]
>> Bill: WHEN YOU GET AN IDEA
FOR SOMETHING, HOW DO YOU DECIDE
THAT YOU'VE WRITTEN 25 BOOKS OR
SOMETHING PLUS ALL OF THESE
MOVIES AND PLAYS, HOW DO YOU
DECIDE WHAT IS THE RIGHT FORMAT,
DO YOU PUT IT IN THE VOICE OF A
CHARACTER IN A PLAY OR A MOVIE
OR IN YOUR OWN VOICE IN A BOOK?
>> THAT'S A VERY GOOD QUESTION
AND SOMETIMES I TRY TO WRITE
SOMETHING FOR A LONG TIME AND IT
DOESN'T WORK, MAYBE I'LL TRY
THIS A PLAY, IT DOESN'T WORK,
I'LL TRY TO SE IT AS A CARTOON.
PEOPLE TALK ABOUT WRITER'S BLOCK
WHICH I'M SURE IS A LOT OF FUN
BUT I COULD NEVER AFFORD IT.
IF I SAY I'M OUT OF IDEAS, I
PICK UP SOMETHING ABOUT 20, 30,
80 YEARS AGO, LET ME TRY THAT
AGAIN.
>> Bill: I REMEMBER SEEING
NOVEMBER ON BROADWAY WITH NATHAN
LANE, I WAS THRILLED TO MEET
HIM, IMPRESSED MY DATE, WE GOT
TO GO BACKSTAGE.
I DON'T KNOW IF PEOPLE
UNDERSTAND HOW FUNNY YOU ARE AND
THE NEW BOOK HAD ME LAUGHING.
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH.
>> Bill: LITERALLY FUNNY AND
NOVEMBER WAS LAUGH, LAUGH, THAT
IS YOUR REPUTATION.
IT WAS LIKE NEIL SIMON IF HE WAS
FUNNY.
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
A PLAY WHERE YOU GO --
>> NOVEMBER WAS ABOUT A GUY WHO
WAS THE WORST PRESIDENT OF THE
WORLD AND HE'S ABOUT TO RUN FOR
OFFICE.
YOUR NUMBERS ARE LOWERS THAN
GANDHI'S CHOLESTEROL.
[LAUGHTER]
IT WAS A LAUGH LIKE THAT BUT THE
MAIN GAG IS STILL A FEW PARDONS
ON THE WAY OUT THE DOOR, BY THE
WAY IT'S NOVEMBER, GENERALLY YOU
GET $50,000 TO PARDON TWO
TURKEYS.
HE THINKS ABOUT IT AND HE SAYS
GET THE HEAD OF THE TURKEY
PEOPLE IN THERE, TURNING BACK IY
MANUFACTURERS -- I HAVE TO
PARDON EVERY TURKEY ON THE
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
>> Bill: I THINK OF ALL PEOPLE
ON HBO YOU CAN SAY "FUCKING."
THERE'S A PART IN THE BOOK, YOU
ARE FUNNY TALKING ABOUT
BROADWAY.
YOU BASICALLY SAY IT'S BECOME
DISNEYLAND.
ITS TOURISTS COME IT'S NOT
PEOPLE WHO ARE LOOKING TO BE
CHALLENGED WHICH REALLY WAS THE
INTENT OF THEATER.
WHAT DOES THAT SAY ABOUT YOUR
FUTURE?
>> I HAVE A PLAY ON, AMERICAN
BUFFALO.
SPECTACULAR CAST, SAM ROCKWELL
AND LAURENCE FISHBURNE,
WONDERFUL CAST.
THE PROBLEM IS THE MIDDLE CLASS
LEFT NEW YORK.
THE ONLY WAY YOU CAN HAVE A
VIBRANT THEATER IS PEOPLE SAY I
LIVE HERE, IT'S NOT GOING TO
COST ME ANYTHING TO GO DOWNTOWN
BUT IF THE MIDDLE-CLASS LEAVES
AND AT 75% OF THE AUDIENCE IS
TOURISTS, THEY LEGITIMATELY --
THEY DON'T WANT TO BE CHALLENGE
CHALLENGED, THEY WANT A
SPECTACLE AND THAT'S
UNDERSTANDABLE.
>> Bill: WE FACED SOMETIMES
THE SAME PROBLEM IN COMEDY AND I
REMEMBER AROUND THAT TIME I WAS
WATCHING NOVEMBER, THAT'S WHEN
YOU WROTE THAT ARTICLE THAT SAID
DON'T WANT TO BE A BRAIN-DEAD
LIBERAL.
>> THAT'S ACTUALLY NOT WHAT I
SAID TO.
>> Bill: THAT WAS THE TITLE.
>> HERE'S WHAT HAPPENED.
I WAS AT THAT TIME ASKED
CONSISTENTLY WHEN I WAS DOING A
PLAY, TO WRITE SOMETHING FOR
"THE NEW YORK TIMES," WRITE
SOMETHING FOR "NEW YORK
MAGAZINE" OR WRITE SOMETHING FOR
THE VILLAGE VOICE.
I SAID SURE AND I DID ALL THAT
STUFF.
I WAS CONCERNED AT THAT TIME
WITH POLITICAL CIVILITY.
I WROTE AN ARTICLE FOR THE
VILLAGE VOICE AND I SAID HERE'S
A TRADITIONAL JEWISH
UNDERSTANDING OF POLITICAL
CIVILITY.
I HAVE TO BE ABLE TO STATE YOUR
POSITION SO YOU CAN SAY YES
THAT'S RIGHT AND YOU HAVE TO BE
ABLE TO STATE MY POSITION -- NOW
WE UNDERSTAND WHERE WE ARE.
NOW WE DEDUCE FACTS.
WE SAY X IS A FACT, I SAY I
DISAGREE AND IT'S OFF THE TABLE.
WE CAN ONLY DEDUCE FACTS ON
WHICH WE BOTH AGREE.
NOW WE HAVE AGREED WE CAN STATE
EACH OTHER'S POSITION, WE CAN
ONLY HAVE THESE FACTS BE AGREED
UPON AND WE ARE GOING TO PROCEED
FROM THERE TO PREMISES, WHERE DO
BATS LEAD.
THAT'S POLITICAL CIVILITY.
SO I SAID I'VE BEEN UNCIVIL TO
MYSELF BECAUSE FOR 50 YEARS OF
STOMACH I'VE REFERRED TO MYSELF
AS A BRAIN-DEAD LIBERAL.
VILLAGE VOICE COMES OUT AND WHY
I AM NO LONGER A BRAIN-DEAD
LIBERAL.
>> Bill: A LOT OF YOUR NEW
BOOK, WE ARE ON THE SAME PAGE
HERE.
I GET BOOED ALL THE TIME -- NOT
SO MUCH ANYMORE BUT WHEN I CALL
OUT THE LEFT IN THIS COUNTRY
BECAUSE THEY HAVE GONE PLACES
PEOPLE SAY YOU'VE CHANGED, I
HAVEN'T CHANGED.
I SAY THINGS HAVE CHANGED.
FIVE YEARS AGO NO ONE WAS
TALKING ABOUT ABOLISHING THE
POLICE, LOOTING WASN'T LEGAL.
THE PENIS STILL MEANT SOMETHING.
I'M JOKING -- LET'S BE HONEST A
LOT OF YOUR BOOK IS CALLING OUT
THE LEFT FOR THEIR GOOFINESS.
>> THAT'S RIGHT, WHAT MY BOOK IS
ABOUT, I'M NOT HERE TO FLOG THE
BOOK WHICH IS CALLED THE DEATH
OF FREE SPEECH AND THE COST OF A
FREE LUNCH -- GO THE POINT IS WE
HAVE TO HAVE FREE SPEECH.
WITHOUT FREE SPEECH WE HAVE
NOTHING.
IF ONE GROUP TAKES THE HIGH ROAD
IT DOESN'T MATTER WHICH GROUP IT
IS, WE ARE GOING TO HAVE A
POLICE STATE.
WHEN IT'S NOT ACCEPTABLE TO HAVE
OPPOSING VIEW, WHEN PEOPLE STATE
AN OPPOSING VIEW ARE NOT
DISAGREED WITH BLOOD
MARGINALIZED AND CANCELED, WE
ARE GOING TO END UP WITH A
TOTALITARIAN STATE BECAUSE
THAT'S THE WAY HUMAN NATURE
WORKS.
>> Bill: I'M GLAD YOU BROUGHT
THAT UP.
I LOVE THIS BOOK, THERE'S SO
MUCH TO LOVE IN THIS BOOK,
THERE'S SO MUCH WISDOM AND YOUR
BREADTH OF KNOWLEDGE, VERY FEW
THINGS YOU MENTIONED ARE THINGS
I'M TOTALLY UNFAMILIAR WITH BUT
THERE'S ALWAYS SOMETHING NEW YOU
BRING TO THEM -- I KNOW ABOUT
THAT.
THERE IS A BIG BOMBSHELL ON PAGE
TWO.
>> OH, GOOD, WHAT IS IT?
[LAUGHTER]
FOR ANYBODY WHO GETS THAT FAR.
>> Bill: I GOT THROUGH THE
WHOLE THING BECAUSE I LOVED IT.
ON PAGE.
IT SAYS SHOULD THE LEFT BE
ALLOWED TO STEAL ANOTHER
ELECTION WAS BACK AND I'M LIKE
WHAT?
AND THEN YOU REALLY DON'T GO
THERE FOR THE REST OF THE BOOK.
WE SEE IN THE BOOK YOU DO LIKE
TRUMP WHICH IS FINE, WE ARE NOT
THERE TOGETHER ON THAT ONE BUT
I'VE SAID MANY TIMES ON THIS
SHOW YOU CAN HATE TRUMP YOU
CANNOT HATE EVERYONE WHO LIKES
THEM, IT'S HALF THE COUNTRY AND
I UNDERSTAND WHY PEOPLE ARE
DRIVEN INTO HIS ARMS BECAUSE OF
THE GOOFINESS.
>> GOD BLESS YOU BY THE WAY,
SERIOUSLY.
>> Bill: THANK YOU.
HIM >> IF WE DON'T HAVE
FREE SPEECH, WHAT DO WE GOT?
>> Bill: IT'S THE END OF MY
SHOW TONIGHT ALL ABOUT DEFENDING
FREE SPEECH, I DO IT ALL THE
TIME.
AT THE END OF THE BOOK, YOUR
DIRECT ON THIS YOU TALK ABOUT
ATTEMPTED COUP AND I KNOW WHEN
YOU SAY THAT YOU THINK THE
ATTEMPTED COUP WAS FROM THE
LEFT.
I THINK IT WAS FROM THE RIGHT.
TELL ME, YOUR DAVID FUCKING
MAMET, YOU DON'T HAVE TO TELL ME
SHIT.
I WANT TO KNOW HOW THE PREMIER
PERSON OF LETTERS IN THIS
COUNTRY BELIEVE SOMETHING THAT
EVEN BILL BARR AND MITCH
McCONNELL AND MIKE PENCE SAY
IS BULLSHIT?
>> A LOT OF PEOPLE SAY RED
SKELTON WAS FUNNY.
I MISSPOKE ON PAGE.
I WOULD ASK EVERYBODY WHO RDS
THE BOOK WHO I HOPE IT'S
EVERYBODY TO SKIP PAIGE TWO.
>> Bill: IS THAT RIGHT?
YOU DON'T THINK THE ELECTION WAS
STOLEN?
>> LET ME REPHRASE IT.
>> Bill: OH THANK YOU.
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
IT WAS LIKE FINDING OUT THAT
OSCAR WILDE THINKS THE SUN
REVOLVES AROUND THE EARTH.
>> HERE'S THE THING.
THE MORE IMPORTANT POINT AS I
THINK ABOUT IT WAS THAT A LOT OF
THE INFORMATION WHICH MIGHT HAVE
INFLUENCED THE ELECTION WAS
SUPPRESSED, AND THAT IS TRUE.
FOR EXAMPLE, "THE NEW YORK POST"
CAME OUT WITH AN ARTICLE ABOUT
THE HUNTER BIDEN LAPTOPS TURTLE
WEEKS BEFORE THE ELECTION AND
TWITTER SHOT IT DOWN.
>> Bill: IT WAS WRONG I
MENTIONED THAT ON THE SHOW LAST
WEEK, ABSOLUTELY.
>> I GOT A BIT AHEAD OF MYSELF.
ON THE OTHER HAND WHAT HAPPENED
IN BUSH V. GORE?
EVERYBODY ON THE LEFT INCLUDING
THE AT THE TIME SAID WAIT A
SECOND THEY STOLE THE ELECTION.
AND PERHAPS THEY DID, I DON'T
KNOW.
THIS IS NOT UNIQUE IN AMERICAN
POLITICS.
>> Bill: THIS ONE WAS LOOKED
AT BY EVERYBODY INCLUDING TRUMP
OWN PEOPLE.
I'M GLAD WERE THERE.
YOU ALSO SAY, A FUNNY LINE ABOUT
HOW YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND WHEN
PEOPLE DO RENEWAL OF VOWS IN A
MARRIAGE WHICH I WOULD AGREE
WITH.
THEY ARE MARRIED, WHAT THE FUCK
MORE DO YOU WANT?
[LAUGHTER]
[APPLAUSE]
YOU ARE SAYING WE DO NEED A
RENEWAL OF VOWS IN THIS COUNTRY
BETWEEN CITIZENS.
HOW DO WE GET THERE FROM THIS
HORRIBLE PLACE WE ARE NOW?
>> I'M A JEW, MY PEOPLE HAVE
ONLY BEEN JEWS FOR 6,000 YEARS
AND WE'VE YET TO GET USED TO IT.
AMERICA WAS A CHRISTIAN COUNTRY
FOUNDED ON CHRISTIAN PRINCIPLES
NOW WE HAVE ALL SIX OF DIFFERENT
RELIGIONS BUT IT WAS FOUNDED ON
CHRISTIAN PRINCIPLES WHICH COME
OUT OF THE BIBLE WHICH IS AN
EXPRESSION OF CHRISTIAN
PRINCIPLES AND THE PEOPLE WHO
WROTE THE CONSTITUTION BASED IT
ON CHRISTIAN PRINCIPLES.
THEY SAY WE ARE ENDOWED BY OUR
CREATOR WITH CERTAIN UNALIENABLE
RIGHTS, AMONG THOSE ARE LIFE,
LIBERTY AND PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS
AND TO ENSURE THOSE RIGHTS, ONLY
TO ENSURE THOSE RIGHTS ARE
GOVERNMENT HAS INSTITUTED AMONG
MEN.
>> Bill: MEN AND WOMEN.
>> THAT WAS UNDERSTOOD AT THE
TIME TO MEAN MEN AND WOMEN
ALTHOUGH IT WASN'T PRACTICED
THAT WAY BUT IT IS NOW.
IS NOTHING WRONG WITH ATHEISM
ALTHOUGH A LOT OF THE PEOPLE WHO
SIGNED THE DECLARATION WERE
ATHEISTS BUT THEY SAID WERE
ENDOWED BY OUR CREATOR.
>> Bill: DEISTS.
THAT'S DIFFERENT FROM ATHEISTS.
>> I'M SURE IT IS BUT I HAVE NO
IDEA.
IT'S LIKE NATURALISM AND REALIS
REALISM, I DON'T KNOW.
>> Bill: A DEIST WOULD SAY A
TREE, THAT SCOTT AND I WOULD SAY
REALLY?
I REMEMBER IN 1993, I MOVED TO
NEW YORK TO DO A NEW SHOW CALLED
POLITICALLY INCORRECT AND I SAW
THIS SHOW ON BROADWAY AND I
THOUGHT WOW.
I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE ON THIS TI
TIP.
ON THIS THEME.
>> YEAH.
>> Bill: I'M NOT EVEN A REAL
BROADWAY PERSON, IT WAS
OFF-BROADWAY AND IT CHANGED MY
LIFE.
IT'S GREAT TO SEE YOU AGAIN,
DAVID MAMET.
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
I'LL TAKE YOUR CARD SOON.
LET'S MEET OUR PANEL.
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
♪ ♪
HOW ARE YOU DOING?
SHE'S A HISTORIAN AT DUKE
UNIVERSITY AND AUTHOR OF THE
BESTSELLING BOOK "DEMOCRACY IN
CHAINS: THE DEEP HISTORY OF THE
RADICAL RIGHT'S STEALTH PLAN FOR
AMERICA": NANCY MACLANE.
BACK WITH US, NANCY.
GREAT TO SEE YOU.
HE'S THE PULITZER PRIZE-WINNING
COLUMNIST AND WRITER FOR THE NEW
YORK TIMES DAILY NEWSLETTER,
"THE MORNING": DAVID LEONHARDT.
GREAT TO WELCOME YOU TO THE
SHOW.
[APPLAUSE]
I WANT TO PICK UP ON SOMETHING I
WAS TALKING ABOUT IN THE
MONOLOGUE.
MAYBE THIS IS NOT THE MOST
IMPORTANT ISSUE IN AMERICA BUT I
CAN'T TAKE MY EYES OFF IT LIKE A
CAR ACCIDENT.
IT SEEMS LIKE IN A VERY SHORT
TIME, THE REPUBLICANS HAVE
BECOME OBSESSED WITH PEDOPHILIA.
I REMEMBER WHEN PEDOPHILIA WAS
THE WORST THING YOU COULD EVER
CALL SOMEONE, A PEDOPHILE, NOW
IT'S CASUALLY THROWN OUT BY
SENATORS.
WHAT HAPPENED TO MY GOOD FRIEND
FROM ACROSS THE AISLE?
NOW IT'S PEDOPHILE?
THIS IS COMING FROM QANON.
WE WERE MAKING FUN OF QANON LIKE
IT'S SUCH A FRINGE THING, I WAS
PRETENDING LIKE I'M Q AND I'M
REALLY AM -- DOES THIS MEAN IS
MAINSTREAM REPUBLICAN NOW?
>> ABSOLUTELY COME I THINK WE'VE
SEEN THE REPUBLICAN PARTY WHO
OFF THE RAILS TO THE MAGA
FACTION.
>> Bill: THE WHAT?
>> MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN
FACTION WHICH HAS NOW DOMINATED
THE PARTY RANKS BUT ALSO THE
PARTY ELECTED OFFICIALS.
IT'S IMPORTANT TO POINT OUT THIS
IS COMING FROM VERY SMART
PEOPLE, SOME OF THEM IN OFFICE.
TED CRUZ, JOSH HAWLEY, THEY HAVE
DEGREES FROM FOUR OF THE MOST
ELITE UNIVERSITIES IN AMERICA.
PRINCETON, YALE, STANFORD AND
HARVARD AND THEY ARE ENGAGING IN
THIS ABSURDITY BECAUSE THEY ARE
PLAYING TO THIS CUE IN ON BASE
FOR VOTERS BUT ALSO I THINK THIS
IS CRUCIAL THEY UNDERSTAND THEIR
PARTY HAS NO POPULAR POLICY
POSITIONS.
[APPLAUSE]
DEMOCRATS ARE FOR REDUCING
PRESCRIPTION DRUG COSTS, LIVING
WAGES, THEY ARE FOR ACTION ON
THE CLAIMANT, ALL OF THESE
THINGS THAT ARE TREMENDOUSLY
POPULAR, SO PERVERSELY I THINK
THIS FOCUS ON PEDOPHILES IS A
WAY OF RECOGNIZING THEY HAVE
LEFT THE NORMAL CONSTITUTIONAL
POLICY UNIVERSE TO PLAY TO THESE
VOTERS BECAUSE THEY HAVE NOTHING
ELSE TO OFFER EXCEPT FEAR.
>> Bill: WELL, YEAH.
>> YOU ARE SORT OF APOLOGIZING
FOR BRINGING IT UP SAYING IT
CAN'T BE THE MOST IMPORTANT
THING BUT I THINK IT'S REALLY
IMPORTANT BECAUSE IT IS THIS
SIGN OF HOW RADICALIZED THE
REPUBLICAN PARTY HAS BECOME AND
HOW DISCONNECTED FROM TRUTH THAT
HAS BECOME.
WHEN I HEAR A POLITICAL ARGUMENT
FROM THE RIGHT OR THE LEFT I
ALWAYS LOOK FOR WHAT IS THE
GRAIN OF TRUTH HERE, WHAT'S THE
PART THAT'S RIGHT.
ON THE PEDOPHILIA ARGUMENT, THE
ANSWER IS NOTHING PICO THESE ARE
LIES ABOUT JACKSON ABOUT
MITT ROMNEY.
>> Bill: ABOUT THAT PART OF
IT, BUT LOOK, JEFFREY EPSTEIN.
SEX ISLAND.
I'M JUST SAYING, BY RUNNING A
PEDOPHILE RING FOR THE WORLD'S
ELITE, IT LOOKED BAD FOR PEOPLE
WHO THINK THE WORLD'S ELITE ARE
RUNNING A PEDOPHILE RING, I'M
NOT SAYING THAT'S WHAT WAS GOING
ON -- IT WAS GOING ON BUT LOOK
WHO WAS ON SEX ISLAND?
>> IT WAS BIPARTISAN.
>> Bill: YET, IT WAS
BIPARTISAN, MEN.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT PARTY
PRINCE ANDREW IS IN.
WE HAD BILL CLINTON, WE HAD ALAN
DERSHOWITZ, GEORGE MITCHELL,
THERE WAS A LOT OF PEOPLE THERE.
LOOK, THERE IS GEORGE MITCHELL.
WHY IS THIS GUY ON SEX ISLAND?
>> THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO DO
HORRIBLE THINGS INCLUDING
POWERFUL PEOPLE.
JOHN CHAIT DID THE LIST OF
REPUBLICANS WHO HAVE DONE THINGS
LIKE THIS.
DONALD TRUMP HAS BEEN ACCUSED OF
WALKING IN ON UNDERAGE PEOPLE IN
THE DRESSING ROOM.
THERE IS A REPUBLICAN SPEAKER OF
THE HOUSE IT IT'S ALL KINDS OF
HORRIBLE THINGS.
THERE ARE POWERFUL PEOPLE WHO DO
HORRIBLE THINGS BUT THIS NOTION
THAT THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY IS
GROOMING --
>> Bill: THAT'S CRAZY.
BUT LET'S NOT FORGET THIS IDEA
OF RAISING THE ISSUE OF
PEDOPHILIA AND SAYING IT'S
RAMPANT IN AMERICA WAS FOR A
LONG TIME A LIBERAL CAUSE.
BUT THEY WEREN'T WRONG.
I REMEMBER THE FIRST PERSON TO
DO IT WAS ROSEANNE IN THE 90s,
TALKING ABOUT PEDOPHILIA AND I
REMEMBER INCLUDING MYSELF,
REALLY?
IT'S THAT WIDESPREAD?
WE ALL GOT THE HINT AND THEN THE
MOVIE DOLORES CLAIBORNE CAME
OUT.
THEN WE GOT YOU KNOW WHAT?
THIS IS KIND OF RAMPANT IN
AMERICA.
HOW IT MIGRATED TO A CONSPIRACY
IS A DIFFERENT STORY.
I THINK IT'S BECAUSE PEOPLE WERE
LIKE YOU KNOW WHAT?
IT CAN'T BE JUST MY STEPDAD.
IT HAS TO BE GEORGE MITCHELL.
[LAUGHTER]
BUT IT IS RAMPANT, IT IS A BIG
PROBLEM IN AMERICA.
CHILD FUCKING, LET'S GET REAL.
IT GOES ON WAY TOO MUCH AND WAY
TOO MANY PLACES, IT JUST IS NOT
A POLITICAL ISSUE, IT'S A FAMILY
ISSUE, RIGHT?
[APPLAUSE]
>> I'M A LITTLE BIT IN SHOCK,
I'M SOMEBODY WHO BELIEVES IN
FACTS AND NUMBERS AND I'M KIND
OF THINKING, WHAT IT WOULD
MEAN -- I COME TO THIS AS
SOMEONE WHO WROTE A BOOK ABOUT
THE KU KLUX KLAN IN THE 1920s,
YOU WOULDN'T BELIEVE IT, YOU
THINK THE CAMPAIGN ON RACISM AND
LYNCHING IN ALL THESE THINGS --
MORAL PANICS.
THEY WERE AFTER THE KIDS WHO
WERE NECKING IN THE CAR AT NIGHT
AFTER THE BOOTLEGGERS.
>> Bill: THIS ISN'T KIDS
NECKING.
>> I'M SAYING EVERYTHING HAS
ESCALATED AND EVERYTHING HAS
CHANGED IN THE RIGHT HAS ALWAYS
BEEN MORE SOPHISTICATED ABOUT
GOING FOR THE MOST POWERFUL
PLACE, PARENTS CONCERNED ABOUT
THEIR KIDS AND WEAPONIZING THAT.
I'M A LITTLE BIT LEERY -- I KNOW
THE CATHOLIC CHURCH OFFENSES,
THERE'S ALL KINDS OF
SEXUAL ASSAULT IN AMERICA BUT AT
THIS MOMENT I WOULD WANT TO PUT
THIS IN RELATIONSHIP TO OTHER
THINGS LIKE CAR CRASHES OR
COVERT TRANSMISSION.
>> Bill: LET'S MOVE BACK ONE
SUBWAY STOP TO THE DON'T SAY GAY
BILL IN FLORIDA.
I WOULD SAY THAT IS AN
OVERREACTION, RIGHT?
IS IT A COMPLETELY UNJUSTIFIED
REACTION?
AREN'T THINGS GOING ON IN
SCHOOLS THAT PARENTS ARE RIGHTLY
CONCERNED ABOUT?
>> THERE ARE SERIOUS POLICY
ISSUES AROUND A LOT OF THESE
ISSUES THAT DESERVE DISCUSSION.
WHAT SHOULD HAPPEN IF A CHILD IS
USING ONE GENDER IDENTITY AT
SCHOOL THAT THE PARENTS DON'T
KNOW ABOUT.
THAT IS A SERIOUS ISSUE THAT'S
WORTH DISCUSSING.
THE SPORTS ISSUES ALTHOUGH THEY
ARE EXTREMELY RARE, I THINK THIS
IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE.
WE ARE TALKING ABOUT SINGLE
DIGITS NUMBERS OF KIDS IN ENTIRE
STATES BUT STILL, THAT IS A REAL
ISSUE.
THE SWIMMING ISSUE, THAT'S A
REAL ISSUE WHERE PEOPLE OF GOOD
FAITH CAN DISAGREE.
THOSE ISSUES ARE HARD TO.
SOMETIMES THEY INVOLVE
CONFLICTING RIGHTS LIKE IN THE
CASE OF SWIMMING, THE RIGHT FOR
LEAH THOMAS TO SWIM THE RACE SHE
WANTS TO VERSUS THE RIGHT OF
OTHER SWIMMERS IN THE RACE,
THOSE ARE IN CONFLICT.
WHAT I FIND SO HARD ABOUT THIS
IS IS IT SO HARD TO MOVE FROM
WHAT ARE THESE CRAZY LIES IN
CONSPIRACIES ABOUT PEDOPHILIA
THAT ARE REALLY -- THEY ARE
DAMAGING AND THEY ARE GROSS AND
TO SUGGEST THAT GAY PEOPLE ARE
SOMEHOW MORE LIKELY TO DO
HORRIBLE THINGS TO CHILDREN THAN
STRAIGHT PEOPLE.
WE HAVE CENTURIES OF EVIDENCE.
>> Bill: AND THEY ARE NOT.
>> WE HAVE CENTURIES OF EVIDENCE
OF STRAIGHT PEOPLE DOING
HORRIBLE THING TO CHILDREN.
WHAT'S HARD ABOUT THIS IS THOSE
ARE REAL ISSUES, IT'S NOT JUST
THE LIBERALS ARE RIGHT AND THE
CONSERVATIVES ARE WRONG ABOUT
ALL THESE ISSUES BUT IT'S SO
DIFFICULT TO MOVE FROM THIS
CRAZINESS AND THIS BIGOTRY AND
TO KIND OF GO TO THE UNDERLYING
POLICY STUFF.
IT SEEMS TO JUSTIFY IT.
>> I WOULD LIKE TO ADD LARGER
CONTEXT HERE TOO WHICH IS THAT
THERE ARE THESE INDIVIDUAL
ISSUES TO BE DISCUSSED AND
WORKED OUT BUT AS SOMEONE WHO
STUDIES -- A HISTORIAN WHO
STUDIES THE RADICAL RIGHT I HAVE
A LOT OF TROUBLE TAKING THE
DISCUSSION OF WHAT'S BEEN GOING
ON AND THE ATTACKS ON SCHOOL
BOARDS OVER THE LAST YEAR OUT OF
THE CONTEXT OF A RADICAL DONOR
FUNDED RIGHT THAT HAS BEEN
FUNDING THESE PARENTS GROUPS,
DRIVING THE ATTACKS ON SCHOOL
BOARDS THAT SEES IN PARENTS
ANXIETY AFTER COVID AND IN THE
CURRENT MOMENT AS SOMETHING THEY
CAN LEVERAGE TO GET TURNOUT IN
THE 2022 MIDTERMS AND ALSO TO
PRIVATIZE SCHOOLS.
LAURA INGRAHAM HAS SAID IT, WHY
WOULD YOU SEND YOUR KID TO
PUBLIC SCHOOLS?
THAT'S WHERE THEY ARE GROOMED
FOR THESE THINGS.
IT ALL COMES TOGETHER AND IF YOU
START TO FOLLOW THE MONEY YOU
START TO SEE A MUCH LARGER
AGENDA THAT ISN'T JUST ABOUT
PARENTS BEING CONCERNED ABOUT
OTHER KIDS.
>> MAYBE THIS IS MY DESPERATE
ATTEMPT TO MOVE IT TO THE POLICY
AREAS BUT THE LEFT HAS CREATED
AN OPPORTUNITY FOR THE RIGHT BY
CLOSING SCHOOLS FOR MONTHS ON
END.
THAT'S A HUGE OPPORTUNITY AND
THIS PLACE INTO THAT.
>> Bill: UKRAINE, IT'S HARD TO
TALK ABOUT, IT'S SO AWFUL.
IT'S NOT CHANGING NOTICEABLY
FROM WEEK TO WEEK, THEY ARE
HORRIBLE STORIES, EVEN MORE
HORRIBLE, THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS
IN A WAR.
YOU SEND YOUR TROOPS IN AND THEN
THE SOLDIERS SEE THEIR BODY GETS
KILLED AND THEN THEY HAVE
NOTHING BUT HATE FOR THE PEOPLE
WHO KILLED THEIR BODY AND THEN
THE ATROCITIES START AND THIS IS
WHAT WE ARE SEEING IN UKRAINE
NOW.
ZELENSKYY MADE A SPEECH THIS
WEEKEND HE WAS SAYING A QUESTION
A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE ASKED --
WHAT IS THE U.N. FOR?
WHAT IS THE POINT?
IF THEY CAN'T STOP THIS BECAUSE
RUSSIA IS ON THE SECURITY
COUNCIL.
THEY HAVE ONE OF THE FIVE
PERMANENT SEATS WHICH WERE
CREATED IN 1945.
OF COURSE THEY ARE ALWAYS GOOD
TO VETO ANY ACTION, WHAT IS THE
POINT OF THIS GIANT BUILDING IN
NEW YORK AND ALL ITS FREE
PARKING BUREAUCRATS IF THEY
CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT THIS?
[APPLAUSE]
HE'S ASKING IT.
>> HE'S ASKING THE RIGHT
QUESTION.
CLEARLY THERE IS A FUNCTION FOR
A BODY LIKE THE U.N. TO DEAL
WITH CERTAIN PROBLEMS LIKE
CLIMATE CHANGE.
YOU NEED THEM TO DEAL WITH
CLIMATE CHANGE.
IN A CASE LIKE THE WAR IN
UKRAINE, WE HAVE TO HAVE
EXTREMELY LOW EXPECTATIONS FOR
WHAT THE U.N. CAN DO, SOMETHING
CLOSE TO ZERO.
SHOULD WE TRY PUTIN FOR WAR
CRIMES?
YOU CAN'T, IT'S AN IRRELEVANT
QUESTION.
>> Bill: THEY DID IT WITH THE
GUYS IN YUGOSLAVIA.
>> THAT COMES AFTER WINNING THE
WAR.
WHAT HAPPENS FIRST AS YOU WIN
THE WAR THEN YOU FIGURE OUT WHAT
TO DO WITH WAR CRIMES, AND TELL
YOU WIN IT'S AN IRRELEVANT
QUESTION.
ZELENSKYY HAS BEEN AN INCREDIBLE
HEROIC FIGURE DURING THIS TIME.
BUT THERE ARE OTHER
INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS THAT
CAN PLAY A MUCH BIGGER ROLE IN
THIS MORE THAN THE U.N., LIKE
NATO, LIKE THE INFORMAL
ALLIANCES WITH THE WEST.
>> Bill: THE HAGUE?
>> JAPAN, SOUTH KOREA,
UNITED STATES, ENGLAND -- JUST
BECAUSE THE U.N. IS INEFFECTUAL
DOESN'T MEAN THE INTERNATIONAL
COMMUNITY HAS TO BE INEFFECTUAL
IN CONFRONTING PUTIN HERE.
[APPLAUSE]
>> Bill: APROPOS OF WHAT YOU
WERE SAYING A MINUTE TO GO, IT'S
INTERESTING TO ME THAT THE FAR
RIGHT WING SEEMS TO BE SO
SKEPTICAL OF EVERYTHING MEDIA,
JOURNALISTS, EVERYTHING IS FAKE
NEWS.
IF YOU PUT IT IN A MEME.
[LAUGHTER]
IT'S LIKE IT CAME FROM GOD
HIMSELF.
I DON'T UNDERSTAND IT.
I SAW THIS LAST WEEK ON MY FEET,
RICKY SCHROEDER, REMEMBER HIM
FROM SILVER SPOONS?
HE'S NOW A VERY HARD
RIGHT-WINGER.
HE PUT THIS UP, A PICTURE OF
JOHN F. KENNEDY WITH THE COURT
THERE'S A PLOT IN THIS COUNTRY
TO ENSLAVE EVERY MAN, WOMAN, AND
CHILD BEFORE I LEAVE THIS HIGH
AND NOBLE OFFICE I INTEND TO
EXPOSE THAT PLOT.
OF COURSE KENNEDY NEVER SAID
THAT.
AND YET THEY BELIEVE IT.
WE FOUND SOME OTHER RICKY
SCHROEDER MEMES, WOULD YOU LIKE
TO SEE SOME OF THEM?
LOOK AT THIS ONE.
WITHOUT A STRONG SOUTHERN BORDER
ONE DAY WE WILL AWAKEN TO THE
SOUND OF A MILLION CAR HORNS
PLAYING LOOK TO GARAGE AFTER
GOLF ABRAHAM LINCOLN.
WE'RE ONLY ONE GENERATION AWAY
FROM MEN BEING FORCED TO TURN
THEIR PEE PEES INTO WEE-WEES."
JOHN ADAMS.
NOT TRUE.
I'VE BEEN SLEEPING ON MYPILLOWS
FOR SOME TIME.
I LOVE THEM.
USE THE PROMO CODE RIPVANBUREN
TO RECEIVE 15% OFF YOUR NEXT
ORDER."
MARTIN VAN BUREN?
THAT'S RIDICULOUS.
JEWS WILL NOT REPLACE US."
GEORGE WASHINGTON.
DID NOT SAY IT.
THE GREATEST MISTAKE HITLER MADE
WAS TO EXPEL THE VERY PHYSICISTS
WHO COULD HAVE BUILT HIM A SPACE
LASER."
ALBERT EINSTEIN.
NO.
DONALD TRUMP IS NOT JUST AN
AMERICAN TREASURE, HE'S ALSO A
FRIEND.
FREDERICK DOUGLASS DID NOT SAY
THAT.
"I PRAY TO ME THAT
THEY NEVER TAKE AWAY THE RIGHT
TO SAY MERRY CHRISTMAS."
JESUS CHRIST DID NOT SAY THAT.
"I'M NOT BALD.
THIS IS ALOPECIA."
BENJAMIN FRANKLIN.
[APPLAUSE]
"NO MATTER WHAT
ANYONE SAYS ABOUT ME AFTER I
DIE, REMEMBER: I'M NOT BLACK AND
I DEFINITELY CAN'T RAP."
ALEXANDER HAMILTON.
[LAUGHTER]
[APPLAUSE]
I'M GOING TO QUOTE YOU A COUPLE
OF TIMES NOW, I READ SO MUCH
BULLSHIT ABOUT COVID BUT WHEN I
READ YOU I FEEL LIKE THERE'S A
GUY WHO WAS ACTUALLY SAYING
THINGS THAT DON'T HAVE TO BE
APPROVED BY THE USUAL SOURCES.
HE IS GOING TO TELL ME THE
TRUTH.
THERE IS A NEW VARIANT SO WE ARE
GOING TO HAVE TO TALK ABOUT IT
AGAIN, I WANT TO TALK ABOUT THIS
EVEN LESS THAN UKRAINE BUT WE
ARE GOING TO HAVE TO.
YOU WROTE MILLIONS OF DEMOCRATS
HAVE DECIDED THAT ORGANIZING
THEIR LIVES AROUND COVID IS CORE
TO THEIR IDENTITY AS
PROGRESSIVES.
IS THAT HEALTHY?
>> THAT I SET IT OR THAT THEY
ARE DOING AT?
[LAUGHTER]
IT IS NOT HEALTHY.
I HOPE IT'S NOT UNHEALTHY FOR ME
FOR SAYING IT.
I WAS TALKING WITH MY SISTER AND
SHE WAS REMINDING ME BEFORE THE
VACCINES CAME THAT I WAS THE
COVID IN OUR FAMILY, I WAS LIKE
LET'S BE CAREFUL AROUND THE
OLDER PEOPLE IN OUR FAMILY.
THE VACCINES CAME IN THEY WORK
INCREDIBLY WELL.
>> Bill: NOT WHAT THEY SAID
THEY WOULD WORK FOR -- HALF.
THEY STOP YOU FROM DYING.
LET'S BE HAPPY ABOUT THAT.
[APPLAUSE]
LET'S NOT GET IT WRONG.
THEY WERE TELLING US IT WOULD
STOP INFECTION AND IT WOULD STOP
TRANSMISSION AND IT DIDN'T DO
THAT.
THIS IS ALWAYS MY THING I'M
GOING TO READ ANOTHER QUOTE THAT
I THINK BACKS THAT UP -- THEY
ARE WRONG A LOT.
THEY HAVE NOT EARNED MONOPOLY
POWER TO JUST SAY TO ME JUST DO
WHAT WE SAY, WHEN HAVE WE EVER
BEEN WRONG?
A LOT.
>> YES.
WHAT IS HARD HERE IS THEY HAVE
BEEN WRONG, I'M SURE YOU
REMEMBER WHEN THEY TOLD US DON'T
WEAR MASKS BECAUSE WE NEED TO
KEEP THEM FOR PEOPLE IN
HOSPITALS, RIGHT?
>> Bill: I REMEMBER WHEN THEY
DRILLED MERCURY INTO MY TEETH.
[LAUGHTER]
>> THEY HAVE BEEN WRONG A LOT.
I THINK WHAT IS REALLY HARD IS
HOW DO YOU AVOID THINKING
WHENEVER THE CDC SAYS AT A GIVEN
MOMENT, YOU MUST RUN OUT INTO
THAT, REMEMBER THE CDC ALSO
DISCOURAGES US FROM ORDERING
MEDIUM RARE BURGERS BUT HOW DO
YOU ALSO AVOID THE NIHILIST
POSITION OF MAYBE THE CDC KNOWS
WHAT THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT OR
MAYBE SOME RANDOM THING I SAW ON
FACEBOOK JUST AS WELL.
>> VERY INTERESTING, I WOULD
COME AT THIS DIFFERENTLY.
I DON'T KNOW DEMOCRATS OR
LIBERALS WHO ARE ORGANIZING
THEIR IDENTITIES AROUND COVID
AND THE WAY THAT YOU DESCRIBE.
>> Bill: REALLY?
>> I SEE PEOPLE WHO ARE THINKING
ABOUT PEOPLE WHO ARE
IMMUNOCOMPROMISED, PEOPLE WHO
ARE TRYING TO BE CONSIDERATE OF
THEIR NEIGHBORS, WHO HAVE SEEN
PEOPLE WHO SEEM TO BE HEALTHY
GET THE VIRUS AND TRANSMITTED TO
OTHERS.
I WORK WITH A LOT OF NURSES,
NURSES HAVE BEEN THROUGH AND
THIS PANDEMIC.
EVERYBODY WAS CHEERING ON THE
NURSES, DON'T WE LOVE THE
FRONTLINE HEALTH CARE WORKERS
BEFORE THERE WAS A VACCINE.
AFTER THE VACCINE, WE FORGOT
ABOUT THEM.
THEY HAVE BEEN DEVASTATED.
THE PROFESSION IS HEMORRHAGING
PEOPLE AT LEAST 1 OF 5 NURSES
HAS QUIT, THEY HAVE DEALT WITH
PATIENTS WHO HAVE BEEN
MISINFORMED BY FOX NEWS AND
OTHER SOURCES PARTICULARLY IN
THE SOUTH IN THE REGION I LIVE
IN OTHER PARTS OF THE COUNTRY
WHERE FOX IS BIG.
THEY HAVE PATIENTS WHO ARE DYING
AND THEY CANNOT DO ANYTHING AND
THOSE PATIENTS WERE MISINFORMED.
I AM SO HAPPY TO GO OUT TO
RESTAURANTS NOW, I'VE GONE TO A
MOVIE THEATER, I'VE DONE A LOT
OF THINGS.
BUT I DON'T FEEL IMPATIENT WITH
PUTTING ON A MASK WHEN I THINK
SOMEONE ELSE'S VULNERABLE, MY
SIMPLE ACT OF A LITTLE BIT OF
DISCOMFORT, BIG DEAL, I WOULD
RATHER SAVE LIVES.
[APPLAUSE]
>> Bill: DEPENDING ON THE
SITUATION.
THAT DOESN'T MEAN 5-YEAR-OLDS
SHOULD DO IT.
>> I LIVE WITH SOME 5-YEAR-OLDS
THIS SUMMER WHO HAD A FATHER
WITH KIDNEY TROUBLE AND WAS
GETTING DIALYSIS AND THEY ALL
HAD TO WEAR MASKS SO WE MORE
MASKS BECAUSE WE WANTED THE KIDS
TO HAVE A DADDY.
WE CAN GO TOO FAR IN THE OTHER
DIRECTION, YES YOU CAN BE
FANATICAL ABOUT CARE AND
PROTECTION.
I SEE A LOT MORE COVID TO
MINIMIZE ASIAN NOW AND
NANCY PELOSI GOT COVID, DO YOU
WANT NANCY PELOSI OUT OF THE
GAME?
ADAM SCHIFF GOT COVID,
MERRICK GARLAND WHO HASN'T DONE
MUCH FOR A YEAR NOW IT SEEMS IS
OUT OF THE GAME.
I DON'T THINK THEY ARE SERIOUS
CASES BECAUSE THEY GOT
VACCINATED BUT I'M JUST SAYING
THERE IS A WAY EVERY TIME WE
HAVE SAID IT'S GREAT, THINGS ARE
FINE, A NEW VARIANT COMES ALONG.
LET'S RELAX, EXHALE --
>> Bill: AND INHALE!
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
GO AHEAD TO.
>> IT IS ABSOLUTELY THE CASE
THAT THERE ARE MANY MILLIONS OF
AMERICANS FOR TAKING COVID NOT
SERIOUSLY, NOT GETTING
VACCINATED TO.
THAT IS ABSOLUTELY THE CASE.
THE QUESTION IS WHAT DOES IT
MEAN TO TAKE IT SERIOUSLY?
DOES IT MEAN TAKE KIDS OUT OF
SCHOOL FOR MONTHS AT A TIME
WHICH WE DID EVEN THOUGH THEY
ARE AT LOW RISK?
DOES IT MEAN TO WEAR MASKS EVEN
THOUGH IF YOU'RE NOT WEARING A
KN95 OR AN N95 IT HAD
VANISHINGLY LITTLE EFFECT?
HAVING KIDS AND MASKS DOES
VIRTUALLY NOTHING TO PROTECT
PEOPLE.
>> Bill: AND MESSES UP THE
KIDS.
>> WE ALSO SAW SCHOOLS THAT
DIDN'T HAVE PROPER VENTILATION,
TEACHERS WHO HAVE
IMMUNOCOMPROMISED RELATIVES, I
THINK WE NEED TO BALANCE IT AND
TO GO FULL ON AND MINIMIZE -- IT
DEPENDS WHERE YOU LIVE.
IF YOU LIVE IN A STATE THAT
VOTED STRONGLY FOR DONALD TRUMP,
YOU ARE FOUR MORE TIMES LIKELY
TO DIE NOW THAN A DEMOCRAT WHO
LIVES IN A PLACE.
>> THAT'S A KEY POINT.
>> Bill: I'M NOT SURE THAT'S
TRUE.
>> IT WAS IN
"THE WASHINGTON POST."
>> Bill: I REMEMBER READING
THE DEATHS BY STATE A FEW MONTHS
AGO AND THE FLORIDA WAS 17,
NEW YORK AND NEW JERSEY WERE
FOUR AND FIVE.
THERE ARE VARYING FACTORS.
WEST VIRGINIA AND MASSACHUSETTS
WHICH ARE ABOUT AS DIFFERENT AS.
STATES CAN GET WERE TEN AND 11.
>> I READ IN
"THE WASHINGTON POST" AND STATES
THAT VOTED STRONGLY FOR
DONALD TRUMP FORCES STRONGLY FOR
JOE BIDEN.
>> Bill: WE KNOW WHAT KILLS
PEOPLE WITH COVID, OBESITY IS BY
FAR THE BIGGEST FACTOR, THAT'S A
FACT, YOU'RE BIG IN FACT, THAT'S
A FACT.
78% OF THE PEOPLE, NO?
>> I DON'T HAVE THE DATA AT MY
FINGERTIPS.
>> Bill: SHOW A TO -- I DO HAVE
THE DATA.
78% OF THE PEOPLE WHO ARE
HOSPITALIZED OR DIED WERE OBESE.
IT WAS KILLING MOST PEOPLE
BEFORE COVID, JUST SLOWLY, THEN
IT WAS OF COURSE ELDERLY AND A
75% WERE OVER 65 AND THEN IT'S
UNVACCINATED.
IF YOU ARE ONE OF THOSE RED
STATE TRUMPETERS WAS A MORON WHO
THINKS BILL GATES PUT A CHIP IN
THE VACCINE AND YOU JUST WANT TO
OWN THE LIBS AND YOUR OLD AND
OBESE, YOU'RE GOING TO GET IT
AND YOU'RE GOING TO DIE BECAUSE
EVERYONE IS GOING TO GET IT.
THE NEW ONE IS MORE
TRANSMISSIBLE, IT GETS MORE
TRANSMISSIBLE BASICALLY AND LESS
SEVERE.
>> WHEN YOU LOOK ACROSS THE
COUNTRY AT COUNTIES WHICH I
THINK IT'S A BETTER WAY TO DO
IT, NEW YORK STATE HAS
CONSERVATIVE COUNTIES IN FLORIDA
HAS SOME LIBERAL COUNTIES, WHAT
YOU SEE IS HUGE DIFFERENCE IN
DEATHS.
RED COUNTIES HAVE MUCH HIGHER
DEATHS BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT
TAKING THE VACCINE.
YOU CAN SEE VIRTUALLY NO
DIFFERENCE IN CASE RATES DURING
OMICRON.
EVEN THOUGH WHEN YOU LOOK AT
THINGS LIKE RESTAURANTS, MASK OR
INCOME AND LIBERAL COUNTIES
PEOPLE AREN'T GOING OUT TO EAT
COME A MUCH LOWER RESTAURANTS
AND THEY ARE WEARING MASKS --
YOU PUT THOSE TWO THINGS
TOGETHER, WHAT IT TELLS ME IS
THERE ARE ALL KINDS OF THINGS
THAT LIBERAL AMERICA IS DOING AT
A VERY GOOD INSTINCT THAT MAKES
VERY LITTLE DIFFERENCE AND THE
VACCINES REALLY WORK AND SAVE
LIVES AND BY NOT TAKING THEM,
CONSERVATIVES ARE DAMAGING
THEMSELVES IN DAMAGING THE
COUNTRY.
THE WORD YOU USED BALANCE IS
PERFECT.
CONSERVATIVES HAVEN'T TAKEN
COVID NEARLY SERIOUSLY ENOUGH
AND I THINK LIBERALS IF WE ARE
BEING HONEST ABOUT THIS HAVE
SOME PERFORMATIVE ASPECTS OF THE
COVID RESPONSE.
WEARING MASKS BECAUSE IT FEELS
AT THE BADGE OF VINYL
PROGRESSIVE EVEN THOUGH A LOT OF
THOSE MASKS PARTICULARLY WITH
OMICRON ARE DOING VERY LITTLE TO
PROTECT PEOPLE.
I'M NOT ANTIMASK, WHERE ONE IF
YOU'RE GOING TO A NURSING HOME,
WHERE A KN95 OR N95 BUT DON'T
THINK THESE MASK MANDATES WHERE
YOU WEAR A CLOTH MASK INTO A
RESTAURANT AND YOU TAKE IT UP SO
YOU CAN EAT IS DOING ANYTHING.
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
>> Bill: I'M GOING TO QUOTE
YOU ONE MORE TIME, I LOVE THIS
ONE.
MANY PEOPLE HAVE COME TO BELIEVE
THAT EXPERT OPINION AS A UNITARY
OMISSION TO FORCE, THAT'S THE
ASSUMPTION BEHIND THE PHRASES
FOLLOW THE SCIENCE AND WITH THE
SCIENCES AND IT MENTIONS SCIENCE
ALMOST A GOD.
SCIENCE WHO CAN SOLVE OUR
DILEMMA IS WE ONLY LISTENED.
THIS IS THE CASE I'VE BEEN
MAKING, WHOSE SCIENCE?
OF COURSE THE CHIP AND THE
VACCINE IS INSANE BUT THE FDA'S
TWO TOP VACCINE EXPERTS RESIGNED
BECAUSE THEY SAID YOU'RE NOT
FOLLOWING WHAT WE FOUND OUT
ABOUT BOOSTERS, YOU ARE
RECOMMENDING THEM AND WE TOLD
YOU NOT TO.
IT LOOKS POLITICIZED.
IT LOOKS LIKE WE HAVE OUR
SCIENCE AND ANYBODY ELSE, WE
JUST PRETEND THEY ARE A QUACK.
THESE ARE OTHER DOCTORS.
>> SCIENCE IS HARD.
>> Bill: ESPECIALLY MEDICAL
SCIENCE, WE DON'T KNOW SHIT.
>> I WOULD ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO
REALIZE THAT SOME OF THESE
THINGS ARE HARD SCIENTIFIC
QUESTIONS WE DON'T HAVE THE DATA
AND OTHERS OF THEM ARE QUESTION
OF VALUES IN QUESTION OF
TRADE-OFFS.
IF WE KEPT EVERY KID IN AMERICA
HOME FOR THE NEXT MONTH FROM
SCHOOL WOULD BE REDUCED COVID
CASES?
YES WE WOULD.
WOULD THAT BE A GOOD TRADE-OFF?
>> Bill: IF WE ALL STAYED HOME
AND STAYED PERFECTLY STILL IN
OUR ROOM.
>> THAT'S NOT SCIENCE.
>> Bill: THAT'S NOT SCIENCE,
THAT'S NOT LIFE.
>> WE HAVE TO MAKE HARD
DECISIONS ABOUT VALUES AND
TRADE-OFFS.
>> Bill: THAT THERE WILL BE
THE PEACE.
THANK YOU, PANEL, TIME FOR NEW
RULES!
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
NEW RULE: SOMEONE HAS TO TELL ME
WHY AMAZON'S TOILET-SHAPED
NOVELTY COFFEE CUP ONLY GETS
FOUR AND A HALF STARS.
[LAUGHTER]
"DEAR AMAZON, I REALLY LOVED
THIS PRODUCT.
IT ARRIVED ON TIME AND WORKED AS
PROMISED.
SADLY, I HAD TO DEDUCT HALF A
STAR BECAUSE IT MADE ME THINK
ABOUT DRINKING SHIT."
[LAUGHTER]
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
NEW RULE: NOW THAT SCIENTISTS IN
THE JOURNAL SEXUAL MEDICINE
REVIEWS SAY THE G-SPOT IS NOT
ONE SPOT, BUT A "ZONE" MADE UP
OF FIVE SEPARATE REGIONS.
THEY NEED TO KEEP IT TO
THEMSELVES.
[LAUGHTER]
MEN HAVE ENOUGH TROUBLE FINDING
ONE SPOT, NOW WE HAVE TO FIND
FIVE?
[APPLAUSE]
THAT'S NOT SEX, THAT'S
GEOGRAPHY.
MOST OF US CAN'T EVEN LOCATE
UKRAINE ON A MAP, NOW WE'VE GOT
TO PINPOINT YOUR DISPUTED DONBAS
REGION?
[LAUGHTER]
NEW RULE: YOU CAN POST THE LINK
FOR THE STORY "DOG PRETENDS
SHE'S ASLEEP TO GET OUT OF BEING
IN TROUBLE IN HILARIOUS VIDEO,"
BUT IT CAN'T TAKE YOU TO A
MAGAZINE CALLED NEWSWEEK.
[LAUGHTER]
SORRY, NEWSWEEK.
YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE A NEWS
MAGAZINE, IT'S RIGHT IN YOUR
TITLE.
WHICH MEANS, YOU'RE NOT IN THE
"ADORABLE DOG VIDEOS" BUSINESS.
YOU'RE IN THE "PUT JESUS ON THE
COVER EVERY WEEK AND PRAY
SOMEONE BUYS IT" BUSINESS.
[LAUGHTER]
[APPLAUSE]
NEW RULE: NOW THAT 24-YEAR-OLD
TAYLA CLEMENT, THE NEW ZEALAND
WOMAN WHO HAS A RARE CONDITION
THAT LEAVES HER UNABLE TO SMILE,
HAS BEEN SIGNED TO AN
INTERNATIONAL MODELING CONTRACT,
THE REST OF THE WORLD'S MODELS
HAVE TO TELL US.
WHAT'S YOUR EXCUSE?
[LAUGHTER]
NEW RULE: IF YOU GRADUATED FROM
HIGH SCHOOL WITH LENNY KRAVITZ
IN 1982, DON'T GO TO THE
REUNION.
BECAUSE HE'S GOING TO SHOW UP
LIKE THIS:, AND YOU'RE GOING TO
FEEL LIKE SHIT FOR THE REST OF
THE NIGHT.
[LAUGHTER]
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
AND FINALLY, NEW RULE.
AND FOR OUR FINAL NEW RULE
TONIGHT, IT'S TIME FOR ANOTHER
EDITION OF ONE OF OUR FAVORITE
DEPARTMENTS HERE ON REAL TIME:
"EXPLAINING JOKES TO IDIOTS,"
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
WHERE, AS A PUBLIC SERVICE, I
BREAK DOWN JOKES FOR THE HUMOR
IMPAIRED.
NOT THAT I HAVE ANYONE
PARTICULAR IN MIND.
[LAUGHTER]
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
NOW I KNOW WE'RE ALL SICK OF
TALKING ABOUT THE SLAP, BUT
SORRY, ONE MORE THING NEEDS TO
BE SAID: COMEDIANS HAVE BEEN
UNDER ATTACK FOR QUITE SOME
TIME, AND I NEED TO STICK UP FOR
MY TRIBE: THIS WAR ON JOKES MUST
END.
[APPLAUSE]
SO LET'S ZAPRUDER FILM THIS
THING ONCE AND FOR ALL AND
EXPLAIN JOKES TO IDIOTS.

[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
AT THE OSCARS, CHRIS ROCK CAME
OUT TO PRESENT A BORING AWARD
AND FIRST DID WHAT HE IS
SUPPOSED TO DO, GET SOME LAUGHS
DOING WHAT WE COMICS CALL "CROWD
WORK."
DENZEL AND JAVIER BARDEM EACH
GOT "SPRITZED," AND THEN CHRIS
MADE WHAT IN THE BUSINESS IS
KNOWN AS A "SOME SHIT IS LIKE
SOME OTHER SHIT" JOKE.
[LAUGHTER]
HE SAID TO JADA SMITH, "JADA,
CAN'T WAIT FOR G.I.
JANE II," RECALLING THE LATE 90S
MOVIE STARRING DEMI MOORE.
THAT'S IT.
THAT'S THE JOKE: YOU REMIND ME
OF SOME OTHER BEAUTIFUL,
BUZZ-CUTTED MOVIE STAR.
IT WASN'T AN ALOPECIA JOKE ANY
MORE THAN THE ONE ABOUT THE
CHICKEN CROSSING THE ROAD IS
ABOUT BIRD FLU.
[LAUGHTER]
[APPLAUSE]
NOT AN INSULT, ALTHOUGH "INSULT
HUMOR" IS ALSO A STAPLE OF
COMEDY, AND IN FACT, AN EXAMPLE
OF INSULTING SOMEONE'S LOOKS WAS
ON DISPLAY THAT NIGHT WHEN
REGINA HALL SAID, "WE'VE BEEN
DEALING WITH COVID FOR TWO
YEARS.
IT'S BEEN REALLY HARD ON
PEOPLE," AND AMY SCHUMER SAID,
"YEAH.
JUST LOOK AT TIMOTHEE CHALAMET."
AND THEY CUT TO J.K.
SIMMONS,
[LAUGHTER]
[APPLAUSE]
WHO MADE A FACE A LOT
LIKE THE ONE JADA WOULD MAKE
LATER ON.
BUT THAT'S WHERE IT ENDED --
IT'S CALLED BEING A GOOD SPORT,
ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU'RE A RICH
CELEBRITY.
LET THE COMMON PEOPLE TAKE THE
PISS OUT OF YOU FOR ONE STINKING
MINUTE.
[APPLAUSE]
AND, IMPORTANTLY CHRIS' JOKE WAS
RECEIVED AS "FUNNY" AS EVIDENCED
BY THE AUDIENCE AND WILL SMITH
"LAUGHING."
[LAUGHTER]
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
AND THIS IS THE MOMENT WHERE WE
GOT TO SEE A LIVE-ACTION,
REAL-TIME ENCAPSULATION OF HOW
CANCEL CULTURE WORKS.
LOOK AT WHAT HAPPENS NEXT: JADA
SHOOTS HER HUSBAND A LOOK --
LET'S SLOW THE TAPE DOWN TO
CAPTURE THIS MOMENT: THERE!
BACK, AND TO THE LEFT.
[APPLAUSE]
[LAUGHTER]
BEFORE THIS MOMENT, WILL IS
LAUGHING BECAUSE HE HASN'T YET
FOUND OUT THAT HIS ORIGINAL
GENUINE REACTION IS WRONG, AND
THAT HE SHOULD "CONFORM" TO A
DIFFERENT VIEW.
[LAUGHTER]
[APPLAUSE]
AND HE'S THE ONE WHO'S BEING
MANLY?
I'VE SEEN THE SAME SYNDROME
HAPPEN IN COMEDY CLUBS: WOKE
HECKLERS WHO LITERALLY HAVE TO
WAIT FOR THE LAUGHTER TO DIE
DOWN BEFORE THEY YELL, "THAT'S
NOT FUNNY."
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
THIS WAR ON JOKES MUST END.
WILL SMITH DIDN'T GET KICKED OUT
OF THE OSCARS FOR GOING IKE
TURNER ON CHRIS, BUT KEVIN HART
GOT KICKED OUT OF HOSTING IT --
FOR A JOKE.
WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE WHO SAY
CANCEL CULTURE ISN'T A REAL
THING?
JUST AMONG COMEDIANS WHO GOT
FIRED AND LOST GIGS FOR
EXERCISING THEIR FREEDOM OF
EXPRESSION, THE TOLL IS HIGH.
GILBERT GOTTFRIED AND KATHY
GRIFFIN WERE TASTELESS -- SO
WHAT, THAT'S WHY WE LIKED THEM.
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
COMEDIANS ARE THE ONES TESTING
WHERE THE LINE IS, WE CAN'T
ALWAYS BE PERFECT ANYMORE THAN
TOM BRADY WILL NEVER THROW AN
INTERCEPTION.
[LAUGHTER]
DAVE CHAPPELLE LOST DISTRIBUTION
FOR HIS DOCUMENTARY, AND SARA
SILVERMAN WAS FIRED FROM A FILM
OVER AN OLD SKETCH WHERE SHE
WORE BLACKFACE TO MAKE FUN OF
RACISM.
ROSEANNE LOST THE TV SHOW SHE
CREATED WITH HER NAME ON IT OVER
TWEETS THAT WERE VERY OFFENSIVE
BUT NOT AT ALL CLEAR ROSEANNE
KNEW THEM TO BE.
SHE IS CRAZY, AND I SAY THAT AS
A FRIEND.
[LAUGHTER]
[APPLAUSE]
ALL COMEDIANS ARE A LITTLE
CRAZY, AND YOU NEED CRAZY ON
THAT WALL.
[LAUGHTER]
[APPLAUSE]
WILL SMITH WASN'T PULLED OFF
STAGE, BUT COMEDIAN NIMESH PATEL
WAS LITERALLY PULLED OFF STAGE
DURING A PERFORMANCE AT COLUMBIA
UNIVERSITY FOR A JOKE ABOUT HOW
HARD IT IS TO BE GAY AND BLACK.
NOT AN ANTI-GAY JOKE, MIND YOU,
A PRO-GAY JOKE.
ONE OF THE EVENT ORGANIZERS
WALKED ONSTAGE AND SAID "I DON'T
THINK YOU'RE ENTITLED TO CERTAIN
JOKES YOU'RE MAKING."
A SENSE OF ENTITLEMENT CERTAINLY
IS A BIG PART OF THE PROBLEM
HERE, BUT NOT ON THE PART OF THE
COMEDIAN.
[APPLAUSE]
AND THAT'S THE THING: THE PEOPLE
WHO CAN'T TAKE A JOKE NOW AREN'T
OLD LADIES IN THE BIBLE BELT --
THEY'RE GEN Z AT ELITE COLLEGES.
COLLEGES, WHERE COMEDY GOES TO
DIE.
KIDS USED TO GO TO COLLEGE AND
LOSE THEIR VIRGINITY -- NOW THEY
GO TO LOSE THEIR SENSE OF HUMOR.
[LAUGHTER]
[APPLAUSE]
VICE RECENTLY INTERVIEWED
COLLEGE BOOKERS WHO REVEALED
THAT BEFORE A COMEDIAN EVEN
TAKES THE STAGE THEY'RE ASKED TO
EDIT OUT ANYTHING FROM THEIR ACT
THAT MAY CAUSE OFFENSE, LEAVING
A WORLD WHERE MORE AND MORE
TOPICS ARE OFF LIMITS AND SOON
THERE'LL BE NOTHING LEFT TO JOKE
ABOUT EXCEPT AIRPLANE FOOD AND
STARBUCKS GETTING YOUR NAME
WRONG.
[LAUGHTER]
[APPLAUSE]
JUDD APATOW HAS AN AWESOME NEW
DOCUMENTARY COMING HERE TO HBO
ABOUT GEORGE CARLIN, OWNER OF
THE MOST FAMOUS 180 IN COMEDY
HISTORY, WHEN HE TURNED HIS BACK
ON A LUCRATIVE CAREER IN
NIGHTCLUBS IN ORDER TO LET HIS
HAIR DOWN AND BE HIMSELF IN
FRONT OF A YOUNGER CROWD WHO
WELCOMED IRREVERENCE.
IN 1990, GEORGE SAID "I GOT TO
GO TO COLLEGES. I BELONG WITH
PEOPLE WHO ARE OPEN AND WILL LET
ME BE MYSELF AND EXPERIMENT."
OH GEORGE IT'S A GOOD THING
YOU'RE DEAD.
[LAUGHTER]
[APPLAUSE]
BECAUSE TODAY THE SEVEN WORDS
YOU CAN'T SAY ON TV ARE "JADA,
CAN'T WAIT FOR "G.I.
JANE 2."
[APPLAUSE]
FOR ALL THOSE WHO ARE CONSTANTLY
DEMANDING AN APOLOGY FOR JOKES
-- MAYBE IT'S YOU WHO SHOULD
APOLOGIZE TO US.
FOR ALL THE GREAT JOKES THAT WE
NEVER GOT TO HEAR, THE BRILLIANT
THOUGHTS THAT WERE NEVER UTTERED
-- THOSE ARE THE INVISIBLE SCARS
OF CANCEL CULTURE.
LET'S HAVE A MOMENT OF SILENCE
FOR THAT, AND A SPOT IN THE "IN
MEMORIAM" PACKAGE FOR ALL THE
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
VIABLE JOKES THAT COULD HAVE
LIVED, BUT WERE ABORTED, BECAUSE
A VOICE IN SOMEONE'S HEAD SAID,
"ARE YOU SURE YOU WANT TO RISK
SAYING THAT?"
THAT'S SELF-CENSORSHIP, THE
WORST KIND OF ALL.
BUT YOU'LL GET NONE OF THAT ON
MY NEW HBO SPECIAL -- IT'S
CALLED #ADULTING, AND IT
PREMIERES IN THIS TIMESLOT A
WEEK FROM TONIGHT.
AS THE KIDS SAY, IT'S FIRE.
OKAY, THAT'S OUR SHOW.
WE'RE OFF NEXT WEEK AND BACK ON
THE 22ND.
I'LL BE AT THE SMART FINANCIAL
CENTER IN SUGAR LAND, TX,
TOMORROW, APRIL 9TH, AT THE
TULSA THEATRE IN TULSA, APRIL
10TH, AND AT THE MGM NATIONAL
HARBOR IN D.C., MAY 1ST.
I WANT TO THANK MY GUESTS NANCY
MACLANE, DAVID LEONHARDT, AND
DAVID MAMET.
NOW GO TO YOUTUBE AND JOIN US ON
OVERTIME.
