THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
I APPRECIATE IT -- I KNOW WHY
YOU'RE HAPPY DEA CAROL THE
ELECTION IS OVER AND YOU DON'T
HAVE TO WATCH THE ADS ANYMORE.
[LAUGHTER]
I HAVEN'T HAD A TEXT FROM
JOE BIDEN IN THREE DAYS.
I FEEL LIKE HE'S GHOSTED ME.
BUT HOW ABOUT THE AMERICAN
PEOPLE?
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
I DIDN'T HAVH, THEY PROVED
ME WRONG -- REALLY!
DEMOCRACY -- I THINK THEY LOOK
AT IT LIKE THE CATALYTIC
CONVERTER.
THEY'RE NOT QUITE SURE WHAT IT
IS BUT THEY KNOW IT WOULD BE BAD
IF IT GOT STOLEN.
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
BUT OF COURSE BECAUSE THIS IS
AMERICA WE STILL DON'T REALLY
KNOW -- I TURN ON CNN TODAY,
IT'S THE NAME OF EVERY SHOW IS
"ELECTION NIGHT 2022" -- IT'S
FRIDAY!
[LAUGHTER]
ELECTION NIGHT IS STILL GOING
ON.
ARIZONA AND NEVADA, ARIZONA
WHERE YOUR DAD RETIRES AND YOUR
MOM DIES.
[LAUGHTER]
AND NEVADA WHERE HE FINDS A WIFE
NUMBER TWO.
[LAUGHTER]
THAT'S WHERE THE BALANCE IS.
A RUNOFFCHEL WALKER ISING TO
VERY EXCITED TO.
HE'S ALREADY RAISED KE A THREE
AND A HALF MILLION DOLLARS FOR
THE RUNOFF.
HE SAID HE WANTS TO MAKE SURE
THAT HE GETS A FIRST TERM,
UNLIKE MOST OF HIS CHILDREN.
[LAUGHTER]
[APPLAUSE] BIG RACE PEOPLE WATC,
PENNSYLVANIA, ANYBODY FROM
PENNSYLVANIA?
ONE.
[LAUGHTER]
SHAMEFUL APPLAUSE.
JOHN FETTERMAN PULLED IT OUT
THERE.
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
I SEE THIS AS A VICTORY OF
SUBSTANCE OVER STYLE, HE WAS
RUNNING AGAINST DR. DR. OZ, A
VERY DAPPER MEDIA HEART SURGEON,
AND HE LOST A GUY WHO LOOKS
LIKE THE AIRLINE LOST HIS
LUGGAGE.
[LAUGHTER]
[APPLAUSE]
ALSO A LOT OF FIRSTS -- FIRST
GEN Z IN CONGRESS!
ALSO THE FIRST CONGRESSPERSON
WHO RAN BECAUSE OF A TIKTOK
CHALLENGE.
[LAUGHTER]
AND THE FIRST VICTORY PARTY IN
HIS PARENTS BASEMENT, THESE ARE
FIRSTS.
[APPLAUSE]
NOW THE BIG WINNER ON THE
REPUBLICAN SIDE IS THE FLORIDA
GOVERNOR, RON DeSANTIS WON BY
20 POINTS, EVEN WON BLUE
MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, WON LATINOS.
SURE, WHEN YOU GIVE AWAY FREE
TRIPS TO MARTHA'S VINEYARD.
[LAUGHTER]
BUT ALSO I THINK HE HAD A MOTTO,
I THINK IT RESONATED WITH A LOTS
"FLORIDA IS WHERE WOKE GOES TO
DIE.
FLORIDA IS WHERE EVERYBODY GOES
TO DIE.
[APPLAUSE]
HE IS THE NEW GOLDEN BOY IN THE
REPUBLICAN PAROKS LIKE THE
MEDIA IS CERTAINLY THE
REPUBLICAN ESTABLISHMENT TURNING
ON TRUMP!
FOR RON DeSANTIS!
THEY LIKE RON DeSANTIS NOW!
HE FINALLY KNOWS WHAT IT FEELS
LIKE TO BE TRADED IN FOR A
YOUNGER MODEL!
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
DID YOU SEE HE'S GONE ON A RANT
TODAY?
WENT MENTAL -- A SCREED ABOUT
BLAMING EVERYBODY ELSE FOR THIS.
HE'S BLAMING SEAN HANNITY,
BLAMING STEVE WYNN, BLAMING THE
GOVERNOR OF VIRGINIA AND THEN
KANYE STUCK HIS HEAD IN THE DOOR
AND SAID DON'T FORGET ABOUT THE
JEWS.
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
TRUMP EVEN BLAMED FOR DR. OZ?
MELANIA.
SAID IT WASN'T HER BEST
DECISION, THEN SHE WAS FIDDLING
WITH HER WEDDING RING AND SAID
I'VE MADE WORSE.
WE HAVE A GREAT SHOW WEAVE
ROBERT COSTA AND REPRESENTATIVE
RO KHANNA ARE HERE, BUT FIRST.
HE'S THE DEMOCRATIC GOVERNOR OF
COLORADO WHO JUST WON REELECTION
ON TUESDAY: GOV JARED POLIS.
GREAT T MEET YOU, YOU MUS
DOING WONDERFUL.
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
>> STRONG VICTO EXCITEDBOUT
THE WORK AHEAD.
>> Bill: YOU'RE ANTICIPATING
ME.
YOU MUST FEEL GREAT, YOU
SQUASHED YOUR OPPONENT AND YOUR
PARTY DID WAY BETTER THANHEY
THOUGHT.
WAY BETTER, YOU DIDN'T EVEN SEE
THAT COMING, DID YOU?
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
I WAS JUST TALKING ABOUT
DeSANTIS WHO WON BIG, FROM
WHAT I READ TO THOSE OF THE TWO
BIGGEST VICTORIES I'VE SEEN BY
NUMBERS.
YOU COULD BE THE DEMOCRAT
DeSANTIS.
>> I DON'T LIKE TO THINK OF
MYSELF THAT WAY.
[LAUGHTER]
HE'S SMART ON POLICIES HE'S DONE
SOMETHING RIGHT, I SERVED IN THE
HOUSE WITH HIM, BUT I DON'T LIKE
IS DIVISIVENESS, TECHY PEOPLE
AND ATTACKING COMPANIES, I RAN
ON COLORADO FOR ALL, MORE
FREEDOM, LOWER TAXES.
>> Bill: EVERY DEMOCRAT WOULDKEN
ESPECIALLY IN A PURPLE STATE
LIKE COLORADO, THAT'S NOT AN
EASY STATE BY 15, 20, WHATEVER
YOU WON TO 17 POINTS.
WHAT IS YOUR SECRET TO BEING SO
POPULAR?
>> FIRST OF ALL IT'S TO RUN THE
STATE WELL AND I WOULD LIKE TO
THINK I DID.
WE HAD A VERY STRONG ECONOMY A
LOT OF THINGS GOING FOR US.
WE FOCUSED ON SAVING PEOPLE
MONEY WHICH IS THE ISSUE RIGHT
NOW.
COSTS HAVE GONE UP, PEOPLE GET
INFLATION -- TALK ABOUT THE
CAUSES OF IT BUT WHAT IS YOUR
GOVERNOR DOING?
WE PASSED OVER 50 WAYS TO SAVE
PEOPLE MONEY.
WE ENDED INCOME TAX ON
SOCIAL SECURITY, A LIMITED SALES
TAX ON DIAPERS WE CUT THE INCOME
TAX TWICE, BIGGEST PROPERTY TAX
CUT IN THE HISTORY OF COLORADO.
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
>> Bill: WHY DIAPERS?
THAT JUST STUCK OUT IN MY MIND
AS A GUY WHO HAS NEVER TOUCHED A
DIAPER, WHY DO DIAPER PEOPLE GET
A BREAK?
>> YOU MIGHT SOMEDAY, IT'S
DIAPERS FOR OLDER PEOPLE AND
YOUNGER PEOPLE IT'S ALL DIAPERS.
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
[LAUGHTER]
I'M NOT GOING TO BE IN DIAPERS
FOR A WHILE, WISE GUY.
[LAUGHTER]
BUT ALSO, COVID.
THAT'S SOMETHING ELSE YOU HAVE
IN COMMON I MUST SAY, MUCH MORE
GOVERNORS.THAN A LOT OF
ANOTHER GOVERNOR COULD'VE
HANDLED IT VERY DIFFERENTLY, BUT
YOU STUCK OUT TO.
MAYBE IT WAS THE ARTICLE, IN
"THE NEW YORK TIMES" MAGAZINE'S
IS THE ONE DEMOCRATIC GOVERNOR
WHO HAS FIGURED OUT COVID?
YOU SAID TO PEOPLE BACK IN 2021
WHEN PEOPLE WERE STILL FREAKING
OUT AND YOU WERE LIKE IF YOU'RE
NOT PROTECTED BY NOW IT'S ON
YOU -- GOVERNMENT CERTAINLY HAS
A BIG ROLE TO PLAY, BUT IT WENT
TOO FAR IN MY VIEW AND A LOT OF
PELE'S VIEW AND I THINK THAT'S
SOMETHING THAT MADE YOU POPULAR,
DO YOU AGREE?
>> I DEFINED WHAT I THOUGHT THE
PROPER ROLE WAS FOR US EARLY ON
WITCHES TO AVOID EXCEEDING OUR
HOSPITAL CAPACITY WE HAD 1800
PEOPLE IN THE HOSPITAL --
AMERICA HAS LOST OVER A MILLION
PEOPLE IT'S A VERY SERIOUS
DEAL -- WE WERE VERY CLOSE TO
HOSPITAL CAPACITY.
ONCE IT DROPPED OFF IT'S UP TO
PEOPLE TO TAKE THEIR OWN
PRECAUTIONS IT'S A MATTER OF
RESPONSIBILITY.
[APPLAUSE]
>> Bill: COMMON SENSE.
IS THAT HOW YOU SEE YOURSELF,
COMMON SENSE DEMOCRAT?
I THOUGHT IT WAS GREAT THAT
CHILDREN CAN BE UNSUPERVISED
OUTSIDE.
LITERALLY THE WAY I WAS RAISED
BY MY PARENTS, THEY WOULD BE
ARRESTED TODAY.
BECAUSE CERTAINLY IN CALIFORNIA
YOU GET IN A LOT OF TROUBLE FOR
JUST LETTING A CHILD WALK TO
SCHOOL OR GO TO A STORE ON HIS
OWN?
YOU SAID THIS COULD NOT BE
CASE.
>> IF YOU WANT TO LET YOUR
10-YEAR-OLD PLAY IN THE
NEIGHBORHOOD PARK ALONE YOU
SHOULDN'T GET CAUGHT UP IN CHILD
PROTECTIVE SERVICES AND THAT WAS
HAPPENING.
WE PASSED A LAW SAYING THAT IS
NOT A CAUSE FOR BEING CAUGHT UP
IN ALL OF THIS AND THAT'S A
PAREAL DECISION.
SOME PARENTS ARE HELICOPTER
PARENTS, SOME LIKE TO LET THEIR
KIDS PLAY BLOCKS AWAY.
IT'S UP TO THE FAMILY IT'S NOT
UP TO THE GOVERNMENT.
[APPLAUSE]
>> Bill: IT SOUNDS MORE LIKE A
LIBERTARIAN AND I KNOW THERE IS
A LIBERTARIAN CAUCUS IN CONGRESS
AND I THINK YOU'RE THE ONLY
DEMOCRAT IN IT?
>> WHEN I WAS IN CONGRESS,
LIBERTY CAUCUS STIN AMASH A
WONDERFUL GUY ONE OF THE
PRO-IMPEACHMENT REPUBLICANS AND
LATER BECAME INDEPENDENT AND
LIBERTARIAN.
I WAS IN THE LIBERTY CAUCUS
STRONGLY SUPPORTED FREEDOM,
LIBERTY WITH DEMOCRATS AND
REPUBLICANS THERE WAS A SMALL
GROUP OF US, USUALLY WE ARE ON
THERT END OF ALMOST EVERY
VOTE WE LOST MORE THAN WE WON
BUT AT LEAST WE WERE MAKING THE
ARGUMENTS AGAINST THE PATRIOT
ACT AND SOME OF THE OVERREACHIN
OVERREACHING.
>> Bill: TO THE
DEMOCRATIC PARTY HAVE A PROBLEM
WITH THIS ISSUE?
IT USED TO BE THE CASE YOU COULD
BE A LIBERTARIAN AND ILLIBERAL
AT THE SAME TIME IF YOU LIKE
THAT THAT HAS GONE AWAY.
>> I WOULD SAY WE ARE THE MORE
PRO-FREEDOM AND PRO-LIBERTY OF
THE TWO PARTIES BUT IT'S A LOW
BAR YOU HAVE REPUBLICANS TRYING
TO MICROMANAGE WHAT YOU DO IN
YOUR BEDROOM AND WHO YOU LOVE
WHEN YOU HAVE KIDS AND ALL THE
VERY INTIMATE THINGS, IT'S
SCARY.
BUT YOU ALSO HAVE SOME ON THE
LEFT TO WANT TO MANAGE HOW YOU
LIVE YOUR LIVES.
SOMEBODY WHO IS PRO-FREEDOM I
NEVER HAD ANY TROUBLE IN THE
DEMOCRATIC SIDE I WAS THE
DEMOCRATIC PARTY WAS MORE
PRO-FREEDOM BUT I DO THINK --
[APPLAUSE]
>> Bill: THIS WAS A BIG NIGHT
FOR LGBT?
I THINK WE HAVE TWO LESBIAN
GOVERNORS.
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
ARE WE OVER THE HUMP?
[LAUGHTER]
THEY ENCOURAGE ME TO DO THEIR
OWN THING -- YOU KNOW WHAT I'M
SAYI -- IT'S A NONISSUE NOW
AND IT WASN'T LONG AGO WHEN IT
EVEN THINK ABOUT RUNNING.N
AND NOW YOU CAN BE ELECTED TO
ALMOST ANY OFFICE IT DOESN'T
SEEM LIKE IT MATTERS ANYWHERE IN
THE COUNTRY.
>> IT WAS STILL A THING -- WHEN
I RAN FOR CONGRESS IN GOVERNOR
SOME OF THE DEMOCRATIC STATESMAN
SAID YOU'RE GOING TO LOSE OUR
STATE TO REPUBLICANS, TRYING TO
PRESSURE ME OUT OF IT.
TO THEIR CREDIT TO THE PEOPLE OF
COLORADO AND PEOPLE OF
MASSACHUSETTS AND OREGON SAID IT
DOESN'T MATTER WHAT WE CARES
ABOUT WHAT YOU STAND FOR AND
WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO DO.
>> Bill: AMERICA CAN CHANGE.
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
DO YOU THINK WHEN YOU RUN FOR
PRESIDENT IT ACTUALLY COULD BE
AN ADVANTAGE?
THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY IS VERY BIG
ON CHECKING BOXES AND IT'S VERY
HARD TO IMAGINE ANY TICKET NOW
ON THE DEMOCRATIC SIDE THAT
WOULD HAVETWO STRAIGHT
WHITE MEN
IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO IMAGINE.
THEY NEED TO CHECK BOXES, YOU
OF THEM.
>> I HAVE THE I LOVE AND
PASSIONATE ABOUT COLORADO.
>> Bill: SEAL NEVER?
>> I LOVE THIS JOB I HAVE -- IS
NOT A BAD THING THE
DEMOCRATIC PARTYANTS TO LOOK
LIKE AMERICA, I THINK IT IS GOOD
THAT YOU HAVE A PARTY ON RACE
AND GENDER ON ALL THESE -- ALL
THESE DIFFERENT FACTORS YOU WANT
TO LOOK LIKE AMERICA.
PEOPLE SHOULD BE TO LOOK AT
THEMSELVES IN THE MIRROR AND
SAY'S THERE'S A SOMEBODY LIKE ME
IN CONGRESS AND SOMEBODY LIKE ME
ON THE SUPREME COURT THAT'S A
GOOD THING.
>> Bill: THE QUESTION I
PRIORITY, I THINK THAT'S WHAT
PEOPLE HESITATE SOMETIMES ABOUT
THE DEMOCRATS -- IS IT MORE OF A
PRIORITY THAN THINGS LIKE MERIT
THAT SHOULDATTER?
IS IT MOR A PRIORITY THAN
FACTS OR SCIENCE?
T SHOULD NEVER STAND IN THE
WAY OF MERITS, IF YOU ALWAYS
WANT THE BEST PRESIDENT THE BEST
MEMBER OF CONGRESS BUT WHEN I
THINK IS EXCITING AT LEAST FOR
THE DEMOCRATS ARE I THINK MOST
AMERICANS ARE IS THESE THINGS
DON'T MATTER.
LOOK AT PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA,
THE FIRST AFRICAN AMERICAN
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STAT
OF AMERICA -- AMAZING PRESIDENT,
REALLY GREAT.
THESE BARRIERS THAT ARE IN
PEOPLE'S MINDS THAT SOMEHOW I
CAN'T DO THIS I THINKHESE ARE
FALLING AWAY AND THERE IS NO
BARRIER FOR ANYBODY OF ANY
BACKGROUND NO MATTER WHO THEY
LOVE, THEIR FAITH OR NO FAITH AT
ALL, THERE'S NO IMPEDIMENT THERE
TO SERVE IN ANY OFFICE.
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
>> Bill: I DON'T KNOW ABOUT NO
FAITH AT ALL.
I DON'T THINK AN ATHEIST COULD
GET ELECTED DOG CATCHER IN THIS
COUNTRY.
>> ONE OF MY FRIENDS IN CONGRESS
IN NORTHERN CALIFORNIA, HE IS A
HUMANIST, HE'S AN ATHEIST
HUMANIST AND HE WON BY RECORD
MARGINS IN NORTHERN CALIFORNIA,
HE'S TST IN UNITED STATES
CONGRESS TO OPENLY IDENTIFY AS A
NONBELIEVER.
>> Bill: THERE'S ONE.
>> YOU CAN LOOK AT YOURSELF IN
THMIRROR AND SAY SOMEDAY YOU
CAN SERVE IN CONGRESS TOO.
[LAUGHTER]
>> Bill: NO THANKS.
COLORADO PAST MUSHROOMS.
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
WAS THIS SOMETHING YOU ARE
PASSIONATELY INVOLVED IN?
>> NOT PERSONALLY.
>> Bill: YOU NEVER DID
MUSHROOMS?
>> NO I NEVER HAVE.
>> Bill: YOU LIKE IT.
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
>> TODAY IS VETERANS DAY,
THANK YOU TO OUR VETERANS.
-- THERE IS A LOT OF PROMISE
THAT SOME OF THE MUSHROOM-BASED
THERAPIES, NATURAL MEDICINE SHOW
FOR POST DRAMATIC STRESS
DISORDER, FOR DEPRESSION,
STOHNS HOPKINS AND
OTHE ANDE WANT TO MAKE THAT
AVAILABLE.
WE ALL KNOW THE BUREAUCRACY, FDA
THAT STUFF TAKES DECADES OR
YEARS AND IT COMES OUT COSTING A
THOUSAND DOLLARS, IT'S
RIDICULOUS.
WE WANT TO MAKE THIS AVAILABLE,
IT'S PROMISING WE ARE GOING TO
WORK ON GETTING IT RIGHT FROM A
HEALTH PERSPECTIVE IN COLORADO
BUT ANYTHING WE COULD DO TO HELP
THOSE WITH PTSD.
[APPLAUSE]
>> Bill: IT'S OKAY TO DO JUST
FOR FUN.
>> OUR LAW WAS NOT ABOUT THAT --
IT'S MORE LIKE AT THE MEDICAL
SIDE.
PEOPLE CAN GROW IT FOR THEIR OWN
USE BUT THEY CAN'T SELL IT -- WE
HAVE BOTH MEDICAL MARIJUANA AND
LEGALIZE MARIJUANA AND I'M A
STRONG SUPPORTER OF BO
THIS IS MORE OF A MEDICAL SIDE
FOR MUSHROOMS -- THERE'S NO
CRIMINAL PENALTIES IF YOU GROW
AT YOURSELF FOR RECREATION BUT
WHAT WE ARE EXCITED ABOUT --
>> Bill: YOU GOT IT DONE,
APPRECIATE THAT.
GOOD LUCK IN YOUR RUN FOR
PRESIDENT.
LET'S MEET OUR PANEL!
THANKS FOR COMING.

FRESH FROM VICTORY?
>> EXCITING WEEK.
>> Bill: WE HAD AN ELECTION
AND I MUST SAY MY OLD FRIEND
USED TO SAY THIS IS WHY WE LOVE
POLITICS -- ESPECIALLY WHEN
THERE IS A SURPRISE.
YOU JUST DON'T KNOW.
I THOUGHT THIS ELECTION IT'S
KIND OF LIKE A COLONOSCOPY.
I WAS EXPEC TO BE
UNBEARABLE AND IT
THAT BAD.
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
YOU MUST BE VERY RIEVED.
YOU DIDN'T SEE IT COMING EITHER.
>> I THOUGHT WE WOULD BE DOWN
MUCH MORE BUT HERE'S WHAT WON IN
A VERY SIMPLE WAY.
DEMOCRACY E THE PEOPLE WHO
GOT LESS VOTES DECIDED THEY
WOULD CONCEDE -- WHAT A NOVEL
CONCEPT.
YOU HADMET OZ SAID I GOT
LESSES LET ME CONCEDE THE
ELECTION!
>> Bill: WHAT DOES THAT TELL
YOU?
>> THERE ARE SANE PEOPLE IN THIS
COUNTRY.
>> Bill: WE ARE NOT AS CRAZY
AS WE THOUGHT.
>> I THINK THAT IT SHOWS
EXTREMISM, ELECTION DENIAL
PEOPLE HAD ENOUGH OF IT AND
THAT'S WHY WE DID
BETTER-THAN-EXPECTED.
>> WE CAN'T ACCEPT THE
CONVENTIONAL WISDOM ALL THE TIME
IT WAS HAMMERED DAY IN AND DAY
OUT BY THE MEDIA AT TIMES THAT
IT WAS ALL ABOUT THE ECONOMY BUT
REPORTING TO ME ALWAYS REVEALS
EVERYTHING.
COUNTRY PEOPLE WOULD TALK ABOUT
ABORTION RIGHTS AND DEMOCRACY,
HAVING DEMOCRACY IN THIS COUNTRY
IS A DECISION AND THEY WANT TO
PRESERVET.
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
>> Bill: I'VE HEARD PEOPLE
SAY -- FOLK STILL LIES TO
POLLSTERS AND SOMETIMES THEY
DO -- I DON'T THINK IT'S A
LYING.
YOU KNOW WHAT I THINK IT IS?
DIFFERENT SURROUNDINGS.
YOU'RE ASKED A QUESTION ON THE
PHONE BY A POLLSTER AND AT THE
TIME YOU TOTALLY THINK THIS IS
ABOUT GAS PRICES -- FILLED UP
THE CAR TODAY, INFLATION AND THE
CRIME -- THEY REALLY THOUGHT
THAT AND THEN YOU GET IN THE
BOOTH?
IT FOCUSES THE MIND AND YOU SEE
THE FLAG AND YOU REMEMBER ALL
FUCK -- AMERICA, DEMOCRACY, THAT
THING, THA STUFF CAME HOME.
THE MOST INSPIRING ELECTION I
CAN REMEMBER SINCE OBAMA.
>>Y ARE CHOOSING CANDIDATES.
LOOK ACROSS THE BOARD SO MANY
REPUBLICANS WERE ENDORSING THE
LIE ABOUT THE 2020 ELECTION AND
VOTERS WENT IN THERE AND I
TALKED TO MANY OF THEM
THROUGHOUT THE PAST YEAR.
THEY SAID WE DON'T WANT TO PUT
SOMEONE IN OFFICE WAS NOT GOING
TO ACCEPT DEFEAT.
>> PLUS I THINK THEY LOOKED AT
THE ECONOMY PEOPLE WERE UPSET
ABOUT GAS PRICES AND THEY SAID
WHAT ARE THE REPUBLICANS GOING
TO DO?
ARE THEY GOING TO REINE
BIG OIL COMPANIES MAKING RECORD
PROFITS?
THEY ARE RUNNING ON THE TAX PLAN
THAT DESTROYED GREAT BRITAIN.
THAT DIDN'T SOLVE INFLATION,
IT'S NOT LIKE THEY DIDN'T HAVE
ANY PLAN FOR INFLATION.
>> Bill: JUST FOR FOLKS
WATCHING SAYING I TURNED ON CNN
TODAY AND IT SEEMED LIKE IT WAS
EVEN, WHAT ARE YOU SAYING THE
DEMOCRATS WON SO BIG?
HOW UNPRECEDENTED IT IS IN A
MIDTERM ELECTION -- MIDTERM
ELECTIONS THE PARTY THAT IS NOT
IN THE WHITE HOUSE ALWAYS
WALLOPS -- 20 TWIN, OBAMA WAS IN
THE WHITE HOUSE, THE DEMOCRATS
LOST 64 SEATS.
2018 --
>> IS IN THE WHITE HOUSE, THE
REPUBLICANS LOST 42 SEATS.
HERE IT'S BASICALLY A DRAW.
NOT SINCE RIGHT AFTER 9/11 WAS
THE ONLY TIME BECAUSE PEOPLE
WERE FREAKED OUT AND GEORGE BUSH
WAS IN THE WOUSE, THE
REPUBLICLD ONTO THE HOUSE.
BASICALLY TRUMP IS AS SCARY AS
9/11.
TO PEOPLE I THINK THAT IS THE
TAKE AWAY.
[LAUGHTER]
>> GIVE OUR PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN
CREDIT, I SAY THIS IS A
BERNIE SANDERS GUY.
HE HAS LED AND INSPIRED
CONFIDENCE, THE STUDENT LOANS
WAS POPULAR THE REFORMS HE MADE
ON MARIJUANA WAS POPULAR THE
FACT THAT HE'S BRINGING BACK
MANUFACTURING JOBSXCEEDED
EXPECTATIONS.
>> Bill: BUT NOBODY WANTS HIM
TO RUN AGAIN.
>> HERE'S WHAT I DON'T GET, WE
UNIFIED, CIVIL WAR BETWEENNS NOT
DeSANTIS AND TRUMP -- CAN THE
DEMOCRATS JUST WANTS BE UNIFIED?
>> Bill: THAT WILL NEVER
HAPPEN.
>> CAN'T WE BE THE U PARTY
FOR A CHANGE?
>> Bill: YOU KNOW IT WOULD
UNIFY AMERICA, GET 85% APPROVAL
ON ANY BALLOT?
IF YOU SAID TO THE PEOPLE, OKAY
WE WON'T RUN TRUMP IF WE WON'T
RUN BIDEN, EVERYBODY WOULD TAKE
THAT DEAL.
>> I WAS TALKING TO PEOPLE IN
HIS INNER CIRCLE EARLIER TODAY
AND THEY SAY HE'S MOVING TOWARD
A HE WANTS TO MAKE
AN ANNOUNCEMENT BUT PEOPLE SAY
HE'S IN SELF-DESTRUCT MODE OR
COW >> Bill: HE'S BEEN IN THAT
SINCE HE WAS TEN YEARS OLD IT
ONLY WORKS FOR HIM!
>> THIS TIME SOME REPUBLICANS
MIGHT CALL HIS BLUFF.
>> Bill: I AGREE I HAVE SAID
MANY TIMES HERE I'M NOT GOING TO
EITHER ONE TO SAY THE WICKED
WITCH IS DEAD BECAUSE I'VE SEEN
COME BACK FROM THE GRAVE
TOO MANY TIMES BUT I MUST SAY IT
DOES SEEM CLOSER THAN EVER.
TIME IS SUCH A GREAT ALLY WHEN
THE ENEMY IS SOMETHING THAT
EXHAUSTS YOU.
HE'S EXHAUSTING AND NOW IT'S
LIKE ELECTION AFTER ELECTION,
IT'S FINALLY, MAYBE.
>> PEOPLE GOT BORED OF THE
APPRENTICE TOO, THINGS HAVE A
RUN.
>> I WONDER IN THE REPUBLICAN
PARTY WHO IS WENT TO RUN AGAINST
HIM -- IF HE GETS IN NEXT WEEK
IS RON DeSANTIS IN HIS EA
40s GOING TO WANT TO RISK HIS
ENTIRE CAREER?
>> Bill: WHY IS THAT A RISK?
>> HE GOES AFTER YOU PERSONALLY
HE GOES AFTER YOUR FAMILY A LOT
OF PEOPLE DON'T WANT TO GET IN
THE ARENA.
>> THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO ARE
DIFFERENT FROM DONALD TRUMP IN
THE REPUBLICAN PARTY --
DeSANTIS IS NOT ONE OF THEM.
FOR PEOPLE WHO CARE ABOUT THE
FIRST AMENDMENT, HE'S BULLYING
DISNEY IF HE SAYS THE WRONG
THING I DON'T THINK EVEN TRUMP
WENT THAT FAR.
WHERE IS IT DeSANTIS ON
DENIAL, ABORTION RIGHTS AND NOT
HAVING AN EXCEPTION FOR RAPE AND
INCEST?
>> Bill: I THINK ONE REASON HE
DID WELL IN FLORIDA, DIDN'T HE
HAVE AEK R WHICH IS
SIMILAR TO WHAT THEY HAVE IN
EUROPE -- HE DID NOT GO AS FAR.
>> HE'S NOT BEEN CLEAR WHETHER
HEES AN ABORTION AND A
NATIONAL BAN --
>> Bill: HE CERTAINLY DIDN'T
DO WHAT A LOT OF CONSERVATIVE
PEOPLE DID AND CONSERVATIVE
STATES WHICH IS SA IS
MOMENT OF BIRTH -- MOMENT OF
CONCEPTION?
I THINK IN MISSOURI THEY CALLED
IT AFTER THE FIRST HEARTBEAT
WHIC SLIKE A CELINE DION
SONG.
>> REPUBLICANS GOT EVERYTHING
THEY WANTED, MITCH McCONNELL
OVERHAULED THE JUDICIARY, THEY
GOT WHAT THEY WANTED FROM THE
SUEME COURT AND THEY PAID A
POLITICAL PRICE, A LOT OF
REPUBLICANS ACROSSHE COUNTRY
DIDN'T BELIEVE VOTERS WOULD COME
OUT ON THIS ISSUE IN SUCH
MASSIVE WAYS.
>> Bill: THERE WAS TWO ISSUES,
DONALD TRUMP AND ABORTION.
I THINK ON THE ABORTION ISSUE
WOULD HAVE BEEN SAYING FOR MANY
YEARS, PARENTS RAISE CHILDREN SO
HORRIBLY [LAUGHTER]
PEOPLE DON'T LIKE CHILDREN.
THEY DON'T WANT MORE OF THESE
FEDERAL, ENTITLED MONSTERS IN
THE WORLD.
[LAUGHTER]
>> I LOVE MY KIDS.
>> Bill: THEY'RE NOT WATCHING,
DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT.
[LAUGHTER]
I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU ARE
SAYING -- THE REASON WHY I THINK
DeSANTIS IS SO STRONG IS
BECAUSE HE CAN DO BOTH THINGS.
HE CAN DO THE PERFORMANCE ART
THAT SEEMS TO HAVE YOU SO
EXERCISED TO THE BASE, MOST OF
DON'T REALLY KNOW IF
IT'S NOT DAMAGING -- HE PICKS A
FIGHT WITH DISNEY, DOESN'T
REALLY AFFECT AFFE ANYBODY?
I READ THE DON'T SAY GAY LAW --
IT COULD HAVE BEEN CALLED THE
LET'S DO THINGS IN SCHOOLS THE
WAY WE DID FIVE YEARS AGO LAW.
IT REALLY COULD HAVE.
[APPLAUSE]
HE CAN DO THAT, HENOWS HOW TO
RILE UP THE BASE, I AGREE HE'S A
POLITICIAN.
HE ALSO CAN BE A NORMAL
GOVERNOR.
AFTER THE STORM HE COULDN'T
STAND WITH PRESIDENT BIDEN LIKE
A NORMAL GOVERNOR DOESN'T WORK
WITH HIM AND THEN SEND SOME
MIGRANTS TO MARTHA'S VINEYARD.
[LAUGHTER]
THAT'S A VERY POWERFUL THING TO
HAVE BOTH THOSE ELEMENTS.
>> WHAT HE DID WITH DISNEY IS
SAY IF YOU DISAGREE WITH ME, IF
YOU'RE TAKING AN OPINION
CRITICIZING WHAT I DID Y CAN'T
DO BUSINESS IN OUR STATE YOU'RE
GOING TO BE SINGLED OUT.
THAT'S A DANGEROUS VIOLATION OF
THE FIRNDMENT.
TRUMP WHEN HE RAN IN 2016 SAID
THEY TOOK AWAY YOUR MEANS OF
MAKING A LIVING, THEY SHIPPED
YOUR JOBS OFFSHORE.
COMMUNITIESSMALL TOWN RURAL
AMERICA WAS DECIMATED I'M GOING
TO BRING BACK PRODUCTION.
HE HAD AN ECONOMIC THEORY AND
UNDERSTOOD PEOPLE'S PAIN AND
PEOPLE WHO WERE LEFT OUT OR GO
THIS PRESIDENT JEN
ACTUALLY FOR THE F TIME IS
BRINGING PRODUCTION BACK AFTER
40 YEARS, BRINGING MANUFACTURING
BACK.
[APPLAUSE]
RON DeSANTIS HAS NO ECONOMIC
VISION OR FOREIGN POLICY VISION.
HE'S GOING TO RUN ON PICKING ON
TRANSGENDER KIDS, THAT'S GOING
TO BE HIS PLATFORM?
WHAT'S THAT GOING TO DO IN
YOUNGSTOWN, OHIO?
>> Bill: WHAT DOES A
GOVERNOR'S FOREIGN POLICY
SUPPOSED TO
FLORIDA IS NOT IN THE U.N.
[LAUGHTER]
JESUS CHRIST.
SPEAK OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY
MAY NOT BE DEFINED BY TRUMPET
DeSANTIS YOU COULD HAVE A
SPEAKER KEVIN McCARTHY WITH
THE NARROWEST OF MAJORITY AS I
SPOKE TO HIM IN RECENT DAYS HE
SAID INVESTIGATIONS ON COVID ARE
COMING ON AFGHANISTAN THEY MAY
TRY TO IMPEACH MEMBERS OF THE
BIDEN CABINET THEY MAY TRY TO
IMPEACH PRESIDENT BIDEN HIMSELF
THAT'S ON THE HORIZON IN
JANUARY, A TURBULENT CONGRESS,
YOU'RE GOING TO BE IN IT.
[LAUGHTER]
>> LET'S SEE IF McCARTHY EVEN
GETS THE VOTE, HE'S NOT GOING TO
HAVE AN EASY TIME.
>> HE MIGHT HAVE TO MAKE A DEAL
WITH THE FREEDOM CAUCUS.
>> THEY MAY WANT SOME DEMOCRATS
OVER McCARTHY.
HE DOES NOT HAVE THE CONFIDENCE
OF A LOT OF FOLKS IN HIS CAUCUS.
THE OTHER THING IS WHEN
NEWT GINGRICH CAME IN THEY
OVERREACHED.
IF McCARTHY THINKS GOING AFTER
A PRESIDENT BIDEN OR HIS FAMILY
IS GOOD POLITICS HE'S GOT A RUDE
AWAKENING.
>> HE MIGHT NOT BUT
REPRESENTATIVE MARJORIE TAYLOR
GREENE IS GOING TO HOVERING
OVER HIS SHOULDER.
>> WHAT PEOPLE WANT IS FOR FOLKS
TO SOLVE THEIR PROBLEMS, THEY
WANT TO BRING BACK GOOD JOBS
THEY WANT PEOPLE TO DEAL WITH
THE GAS PRICES AND IF THE
ICANS ARE GOING TO SAY WE
ARE GOING TO HAVE A TWO-YEAR
SHOW ON HUNTER BIDEN THEY ARE
GO TO BE PUNISHED.
>> I HEAR PRESIDENT BIDEN IS
TELLING HIS FRIENDS HE WANTS TO
DEAL DIRECTLY WITH MITCH
McCONNELL HE DOESN'T WANT TO
DEAL WITH McCARTHY, 2023 IS
LIKELY GOING TO BE JOE BIDEN
CUTTING DEALS ON THINGS LIKE THE
DEBT LIMIT.
>> Bill: IT'S ALL GOING TO
COME DOWN TO WHETHER THE
REPUBLICANS LOOK TRUMP AND GO
THE GUY WHO SAID YOU'RE GOING TO
BE SO TIRED OF WINNING --
[LAUGHTER]
NO, WE ARE TIRED OF L
YOU'RE A LOSER AND YOU KEEP
LOSING.
GEORGIA, HOW MANY ELECTIONS HAS
ENOUGH FUCKED UP IN GEORGIA?
>> BRIAN KEMP THE GOVERNOR GOT
SO MUCH MORE VOTES TWO >>
Bill: NOT SINCE SHERMAN HAS
ANYONE CAUSED THIS AMOUNT OF
DAMAGE IN GEORGIA THAT HE HAS
CAUSED TO THE REPUBLICAN PARTY.
EXACTLY -- THE DENIERS DIDN'T DO
WELL AND T DEFY-ERS -- BRIAN KEP
DEFIED HIM.
BRAD RAFFENSPERGER -- IT TURNS
OUT INTEGRITY WORKS.
THE AMERICAN PEOPLE I'VE ALWAYS
ID THEY ARE BRILLIANT AND I
LOVE THEM.
[APPLAUSE]
>> I'M GLAD YOU'RE OPTIMISTIC,
YOU HAD SOME MOMENTS.
>> Bill: LAST WEEK I HAD A
DARK MOMENTS.
I HOPE IT SCARES SOME PEOPLE
INTO VOTING.
>> YOU GET CREDIT FOR THE
ELECTION, Y AND BIDEN, MAYBE
THAT'S THE TICKET -- DEMOCRACY
IS AT STAKE.
>> Bill: LISTEN, SPEAKING OF
PROGNOSTICATORS IT WAS A BAD
WEEK THIS IS THE HEADLINE -- THE
COVER OF "NEWSWEEK" -- TRUMP ON
THE COVER, YOU AIN'T SEEN
NOTHING YET.
HE COULD STILL MAKE A BIG
COMEBACK BUT I FEEL LIKE THIS IS
ANOTHER THING THAT WAS DONE WHEN
WE ALL THOUGHT IT WAS GOING TO
BE A BIG RED WAVE AND IT LOOKS
REALLY BAD NOW.
THIS HAPPENS ALL THE TIME IT
HAPPENS IN PUBLISHING WE'VE
NOTICED IT ON THIS SHOW, WE DO A
SEGMENT CALLED BOOKS THAT DIDN'T
AGE WELL.
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
WAYS TO HAVE A GRAPHIC FOR IT,
WE LOST IT.
[LAUGHTER]
LIZ TRUSS IS THE PRIME MINISTER
FOR 45 DAYS IN ENGLAND AND AS
SOON AS SHE WAS ELECTED THEY PUT
ON THE BOOK CALLED "OUT OF THE
BLUE" HOW SHE'S GOING TO DO --
THIS IS AN EXAMPLE OF WHAT WE
ARE TALKING ABOUT.
BOOKS THAT DID NOT AGE WELL,
WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEE SOME OF
THE OTHERS?
THERE'S A LOT OF THEM THAT DID
NOT AGE WELL.

LET'S TALK ABOUT THE DEMOCRATIC
SIDE OF THIS.
MOST PEOPLE DO NOT WANT BIDEN TO
RUN.
>> HE GOT A BOOST BY WHAT
HAPPENED ON TUESDAY.
EVEN EXIT POLLING FROM THAT
SAID TWO-THIRDS OF PEOPLE
INCLUDING MOST DEMOCRATS, THEY
SAW HIM AS A TEMP.
THEY SAW HIM AS A GUY HE DID THE
JOB HE'S THE SHERIFF BECAME THE
TOWN AND HE DID IT, HE GOT RID
OF BAD BART OR WHOEVER THE BAD
GUY WAS.
COME ON.
>> IN HIS INNER CIRCLE HE'S BEEN
RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT --
>> Bill: AND NOW HE GOT IT, HE
CHECKED THAT BOX OFF, IT'S
HIS BUCKET LIST, HE WAS
PRESIDENT.
>> IS RO KHANNA GOING TO
CHALLENGE HIM IN THE PRIMARY?>>S
KEEP SHOWING HE WILL AND WIN I
KNEW WHEN I WAS IN
BERNIE SANDERS CAMPAIGN WE
THOUGHT HE WASN'T GOING TO WIN
AND THEN GUESSHAT HE WON.
THAN THE POLLS SAID HE WAS
INVITED TO WELL IN MIDTERMS THAT
HE DID WELL IN THE MIDTERMS.
THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST
RESILIENT PEOPLE IN AMERICAN
POLITICS.
HE HAS EXTRAORDINARY RESILIENCE
WHAT HE'S GONE THROUGH AND I
GENUINELY BELIEVE THIS.
I WASN'T FOR HIM IN THE PRIMARY,
I THINK HE IS DOING THIOUT OF
REAL PATRIOTISM.
[APPLAUSE]
HE WANTS TO BRING THIS COUNTRY
TOGETHER, HE WANTS TO BRING JOBS
BACK.
HE HAS A SENSE OF DECENCY
HE'S EARNED THE RIGHT TO MAKE
THE DECISION.
>> WHAT THE CONGRESSMAN JUST
SAYS ENCAPSULATES WHY HE'S GOING
TO RUN FOR REELECTION, HE WAS
COCHAIR OF BERNIE SANDERS
CAMPAIGN AND THE PROGRS
ARE NOT A TO TAKE ON
ENT BIDEN IN THE PRIMARY.
GAVIN NEWSOM AND NOT TRY TO TAKE
ON PRESIDENT BIDEN.
IF THIS POINT IF HE DECIDES TO
DO IT HE MAY HAVE A CLEAR PATH.
>> Bill: A CLEAR PATH?
SPEAK OUT TO THE NOMINATION.
>> Bill: I DON'T EVEN THINK
THAT.
>> YOU THINK SOMEONE WILL STEP
UP?
>> WHEN THE POLLING
SHOWS AS MANY PEOPLE DON'T WANT
HIM TO RUN -- NOBODY RAILS
AGAINST AGES AND MORE THA DO
HERE ON THIS SHOW, I'M AGAINST
IT I THINK IT'S STUPID AND MOST
OTHER COUNTRIES IN THE WORLD ARE
NOT LIKE AMERICA.
TH VENERATE OLD PEOPLE.
[APPLAUSE]
BUT THIS IS AMERICA.
IT'S THE GUN COUNTRY IT'S THE
AGEIST COUNTRY, IT'S JUST THE
COUNTRY WE LIVE IN AND THE JUST
DON'T LIKE IT.
IF TRUMP AGAINST BIDEN THE
ELECTORATE WILL BE SO TURNED OFF
AND I'LL GIVE YOU ANOTHER GOOD
REASON WHY BIDEN SHOULDN'T RUN.
THE KAMALA HARRIS PROBLEM.
I LIKE KAMALA HARRIS BUT FOR
WHATEVER REASON IT DIDN'T WORK
OUT.
I THINK SHE WOULD MAKE A GREAT
PRESIDENT OF THE UNIVERSITY OF
SANTA BARBARA.
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
IF JOE DOESN'T RUN, THEN WE
DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT HER
RUNNING.
IT'S HARD TO GET RID OF YOUR
RUNNING MATE THAT YOU RAN WITH
LAST TIME BUT IF YOU DON'T R
THE NET GOES OUT WITH YOU.
>> I SAT DOWN WITH HER AHEAD OF
THE ELECTION AND SHE SAI
WHOLE ELECTION IS GOING TO BE
ABOUT TO DEMOCRACY AND ABORTION
RIGHTS AND PEOPLE LOOKS AT THOSE
COMMENTS WHAT IS SHE TALKING
ABOUT?
SHE CALLED IT!
>> Bill: LOTS OF PEOPLE SAID
THAT.
>> A LOT OF PEOPLE SAID THE
ECONOMY WAS GOING TO BE
EVERYTHING.
>> Bill: LIKE I SAID, PEOPLE
THOUGHT DIFFERENTLY WHEN THEY
GOT IN THE BOOTH.
GREAT.
LET ME PUT IT ANOTHER WAY.
COULDN'T BIDEN WIND UP DOING A
KIND OF RUTH BADER GINSBURG
THING WHERE HE STAYS ON A LITTLE
TOO LONG AND IT TAKES DOWN THE
WHOLE THING WITH HIM?
THAT'S WHAT I WORRY ABOUT.
>> HE'S IN GOOD HEALTH.
>> Bill: HE'S IN GOOD HEALTH
NOW.
HE'S A LITTLE BEFUDDLED
SOMETIMES.
[LAUGHTER]
HE KEEPS SAYING HIS SON WAS
KILLED IN A RACK AND HE WASN'T.
[LAUGHTER]
SPEAK OF THE TIMES HAVE
INTERACTED WITH THE PRESIDENT.
>>EEN THERE FOR HOURS IN
MEETINGS HE IS PERFECTLY
COHERENT.
HERE'S THE THING, YOUNG PEOPLE
CAME OUT IN RECORD NUMBERS FOR
THIS MIDTERM.
>> B STILL SHITTY BUT
RECORDS.
>> BECAUSE THE PRESIDENT
FORGAVE STUDENT LOANS, THE
PRESIDENT LISTEN TO THEM AND
REFORMED ON MARIJUANA, HE'S PAST
THE BIGGEST CLIMATE --
>> NOT EVERYONE IS A TOTAL
SALESMAN ON THE PRESIDENT.
I SAT DOWN WITH JIM CLYBURN THE
HIGHEST-RANKING BLACK AMERICAN
CONGRESSMAN MAJORITY WHIP AND HE
TOLD ME ON ELECTION NIGHT
REGARDLESS OF WHAT HAPPENS
TONIGHT THE DEMOCRATS HAVE A
MESSAGE PROBLEM.
WHEN I SAID IT SHOULD BIDEN RUN
IN 2024, YOU KNOW WHAT HE TOLD
ME?
I DECLINED TO COMMENT ON THAT,
WILL MAXEY WHO HAS THE BEST ROLE
TO PLAY IN THE MONTHS TO COME.
JIM CLYBURN IS SAYING LET'S SEE
WHAT HAPPENS, HE'S SAYING OUR
PARTY WOULD BE BETTER WITH
AN PRESIDENT BIDEN'S POLICIES HE
DIDN'T SAY BUY THE NEEDED TO BE
THE STANDARD-BEARER.
>> IF YOU COULD HAVE
BARACK OBAMA AS A NOMINEE I
WOULD TAKE THAT TOO.
WE ARE CAPABLE OF NOMINATING
PEOPLE WHO WON ONE STATES -- YOU
WANT TO ROLL THE DICE WITH AN
OPEN PRIMARY PROCESS.
WE HAVE THE INCUMBENT IN THE
WHITE HOUSE WHO HAS BEATEN
DONALD TRUMP WHO IS THE
INCUMBENT PRESIDENT WITH HUGE
ADVANTAGES AND JUST HAD A
TERRIFIC MIDTERM.
>> Bill: HE WILL DEFINITEL
BEAT TRUMP AGAIN, WOULD HE BEAT
RON DeSANTIS?
THAT I DON'T KNOW AND IT'S GOING
TO LOOK WEIRD BECAUSE HE WILL BE
LITERALLY TWICE AS OLD.
AND DeSANTIS HAS TITTLE
KIDS, THAT ALWAYSLAYS WELL --
AMERICA LIKES NEW, IT LIKES
STRANGE.
WE WANT TO SOME STRANGE.
[LAUGHTER]
YOU SAID DeSANTIS SHOULDN'T
RUN, HE SHOULD RUN NOW AND
QUICKLY.
THIS IS THE PROBLEM
CHRIS CHRISTIE HAD TO.
>> HE COULD'VE RUN IN 2020 OR
2012, SOMETIMES YOU HAVE ONE
CHANCE.
>> THE LONGER YOU STAY AT THE
FAIR THE MORE YOU GET BEAT UP.
WHEN OBAMA RAN THEY SAID HE HAS
NO RECORD AND HE WENT I'M GLAD I
HAVE NO RECORD.
PEOPLE TO GIVE A SHIT.
>> COMPARING RON DeSANTIS TO
OBAMA'S LIKE THAT LINE LLOYD
BENSON HAD -- DAN QUILL IS NO
JOHN F. KENNEDY, DeSANTIS IS
NO BARACK OBAMA.
>> Bill: THIS IS HIS MOMENT IN
THE SENSE THE REPUBLICAN PARTY
FOR THT TIME IN SEVEN
YEARS IS STARTING TO SAY MAYBE
NOT ON TRUMP.
Bill: RIGHT.
WHAT DOES MERRICK GARLAND DO?
TRUMP IS PROBABLY GOING TO
AGAIN SIMPLY TO AVOID JAIL,
RIGHT?
[LAUGHTER]
IS THAT A GREAT REASON THAT SHE
WOULD ANYWAY BECAUSE HE'S AN
EGOMANIAC.
>> HIS ADVISORS TOLD ME HE WOULD
LOVE TO BE A FEDERAL CANDIDATE
IF AN INDICTMENT COMES SO IT
WILL BE ALLOLITICAL.
>> Bill: MERRICK GARLAND IS
AND IS RIDICULOUSLY HARD PLACE
AS HEAD OF THE JUSTICE
DEPARTMENT HE'S GOT A T
THIS NEEDLE.
HE DOESN'T WANT TO LOOK PARTISAN
BUT IT'S HIS JOB TO HOLD PEOPLE
ACCOUNTABLE.
YOU CANNOT HAVE IT THAT A GUY
ATTEMPTS A COUP WHICH HE
ABSOLUTELY DID AND THE ONLY
PUNISHMENT IS THAT IT FAILS --
THAT CANNOT STAND, RIGHT?
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
WHAT DOES HE DO?
IF HE INDICTS HIM HE MAKES HIM A
MARTYR AS HE'S RUNNING FOR
PRESIDENT.
>> I DON'T THINK IS GOING TO
LOOK AT THE POLITICS.
>> Bill: COME ON, MAN.
>> I THINK ICONGRESS
THAT'S WHY WE SHOULD BE TALKING
ABOUT IT, WE MAY LOOK AT THE
POLITICS BUT HE ISN'T.
HERE'S THE THING HE'S GOING TO
LOOK AT HE'S GOING TO WANT TO
MAKE SURE HE CAN CONVICT THE
LAST THING HE WANTS TO DO IS
INDICT SOMEONE AND NOT BE ABLE
TO CONVICT THEM IN THE JURY.
I THINK IF HE BELIEVES HE HAS
THENCE TO CONVICT SOMEONE
FOR A CRIME HE WILL INDICTS
THEM.
>> I'VE SPOKEN TO LAWYERS,
SO WHO WERE CLOSE TOHE
JANUARY 6 GRAND JURY, THEY SAID
TO BE PATIENT, WEIGHT.
THIS IS A SPRAWLING
INVESTIGATION GOING INTO
EVERYTHING NOT ONLY THE
VIOLENCE OTHE DAY BUT THE
PRESSURE CAMPAIGN ON ALTERNATE
ELECTORS, THOSE FAKE ELECTORS IN
THE STATES, I'M TOLD THIS
JUSTICE DEPARTMENT INVESTIGATION
IS ALMOST LIKE A RICO CASE,
EVERYBODY'S BEEN BROUGHT IN TO
TALK.
>> Bill: WHAT WILL RESULT
BE?
>> THE CHALLENGE IS WILL IT BE
AN INDICTMENT, NOT JUST ON
RECORDS AND HOW HE HANDLES
RECORDS THAT WERE MARKED AS
CLASSIFIED BUTILL IT BE A
CONSPIRACY TO OVERTURN THE
ELECTION?
>> Bill: THAT WHEN THEY SHOULD
FORGET ABOUT.
THE CLASSIFIED DOCUMENTS THAT HE
TOOK TO MAR-A-LAGO AND PUT IN
THE SHACK WITH THE CROQUET
EQUIPMENT, IT'S TOTALLY WRONG,
IT ABSOLUTELY SHOULD BE
INDICTABLE BUT IT'S LIKE
UKRAINE.
WHEN THEY IMPEACHED HIM FOR
UKRAINE, IT'S JUST NOT GOING TO
CATCH ON.
AND THE PEOPLE'S MINDS IS JUST
NOT GOING TO BE A THING.
BUT A COUP?
>> A CRIMINAL CONSPIRACY TO
OVERTURN THE ELECTION.
>> COME ON, YOU GOT TO.
>> I THINK THEY WILL.
>> Bill: I JUST WANT TO RUN
DOWN A FEW OTHER NAMES SINCE I
COULDN'T GET GOVERNOR POLIS TO
SAY HE'SNG FOR
PRESIDENT -- HE WOULDN'T EVEN.
>> I THINK IF PRESIDENT BIDEN
DOESN'T RUN, HE RUNS AND
RO KHANNA RUNS.
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
>> Bill: IT'S PERFECT BECAUSE
NO STRAIGHT WHITE GUYS.
THAT'S THE LAST THING YOU WANT
IS A STRAIGHT WHITE GUY, SORRY
GAVIN NEWSOM.
[LAUGHTER]
>> I WILL SAY THIS ON THE
QUESTION YOU ASKED I DON'T THINK
IT SHOULD MATTER I DON'T THINK
IT SHOULD MATTER --SHOULD
MATTER WHAT IS YOUR VISION FOR
THIS COUNTRY THERE ARE PLACES IN
THIS COUNTRY FOR 40 YEARS WE
HAVE HAD PLACES THAT DECLINED,
THEY ARE TELLING THEIR KIDS TO
LEAVE COMMUNITIES WHO IS GOING
TO BRING PRODUCTION BACK WAS
GOING TO BRING MANUFACTURING
BACK WAS GOING TO BRING THIS
COUNTRY TOGETHER?
THAT'S THE ONLY THING THAT
SHOULD MATTER IN THE END, ITOUL.
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
>> Bill: IT SHOULDN'T BUT IT
WILL.
I HAVE NO DOG IN THIS FIGHT I'M
NOT RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT I
DON'T CARE IF IT'S TWO WHITE MEN
OR TWO FUCKING PURPLE PEOPLE.
BUT THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY WHERE
THEY ARE WITH IDENTITY POLITICS
THEY WILL NEVER HAVE TWO
STRAIGHT WHITE GUYS AND MAYBE
THEY SHOULDN'T I'M JUST SAYING
THAT'S A FACT, THAT JUST CAN'T
BE.
YOU'VE GOT TO CHECK ONE OF THE
BOXES, LUCKILY YOU DO
[LAUGHTER]
>> LOOKING FOR A WINNER TOO,
POLIS WINNING BIG IN COLORADO,
GRETCHEN WHITMER WINNING BIG IN
THE DIVINATORY OLD AS YOU KNOW
WHAT HAPPENE IN 2010?
WHOLE GENERATION OF
DEMOCRATS WIPED OUT RISING STARS
BECAUST REPUBLIK AND WAVE
WE SEEN IN THE PAST DECADE A
NEW CROP COME UP.
>> FRANK BRUNI PUT A LIST

PEOPLE WHO THINK THIS MIGHT BE

CRITERIA!
>> COME ON!
>> I'LL TELL YOU THE ONE THING
DEMOCRATS NEED WE NEED TO HAVE A
CLEAR VISION OF PATRIOTISM, WE
NEED TO SAY THIS COUNTRY HAS
MADE TREMENDOUS PROGRESS ON
RACE.
>> Bill: WE HAVE.
>> WE MADE TREMENDOUS PROGRESS

THE WORLD.
>> Bill: NOT AS CRAZY AS I
THOUGHT!
[CHEERS ANDPPLAUSE]
I THINK THAT MESSAGE OF
INCLUSION AND VISION FOR THE
COUNTRY.
>> CELEBRATING THE PROGRESS WE
MAY NOT ALWAYS BEING SO DOWN ON
OURSELVES AS A DEMOCRATIC
PROBLEM WE HAVE TO FIX.
>> ONE THINGRUSS DID IS

IN JAIL WITH GANDHI IN INDIAN
INDEPENDENCE, TWO GENERATIONS

DETAIL OF HIS LIFE, AND NOT ONE
OF THEM TELLS ME THE ONE THING
I'M MOST CURIOUS ABOUT: WHO IS

NOT MELANIA, AND IT'S NOT NOBODY

[LAUGHTE
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
HOW COULD IT BE THAT IF YOU READ
EVERY PAGE OF FIRE AND FURY,

DISLOYAL, REVENGE, UNHINGED,
RAGE, FEAR, PERIL, BLITZ, FULL
DISCLOSURE, THE DIVIDER, AND THE
ROOM WHERE IT HAPPENED YOU'D
STILL HAVE NO IDEA WHAT HAPPENED
IN THE ROOM.
[LAUGHTER]
WE KNOW EVERYTHING ELSE ABOUT
THE GUY DOWN TO THE MOST MINUTE
DETAIL BECAUSE EVERYONE AROUND
HIM HAS THE LOYALTY OF A PET
SCORPION.
[LAU
ALL WHITE HOUSES ARE A BIT
SIEVE, BUT THE TRUMP WHITE HOUSE
LEAKED MORE THAN NICK CANNON'S
CONDOMS.
[LAUGHTER]
WE KNOW HE CUTS HIS OWN HAIR
WITH GIANT SCISSORS, AND LISTENS
TO SHOW TUNES TO CALM DOWN.
WE KNOW HOW HE GETS TWO SCOOPS
OF ICE CREAM AND EVERYONE ELSE
GETS ONE.
WE KNOW HE TWEETS ON THE TOILET,
AND THROWS DOCUMENTS DOWN THE
TOILET.
[LAUGHTER]
WE KNOW HE CHEATS AT GOLF, WAS
ONCE CAUGHT EATING PAPER,DOESN'A
GERMAPHOBE, USES A TANNING BED,
ONCE CASHED A CHECK FOR 13
CENTS, HAS HIS PANTS STEAMED
WHILING THEM, SLEEPS FOUR

SERVICING IT?
[LAUGHTER]
AND DON'T TELL ME IT'S NOBODY!
HE'S ON TAPE BRAGGING THAT WHEN
STAR YOU CAN DO
ANYTHING YOU WANT -- THAT GUY
DIDN'T JUST GO AWAY.
ALPHA DOGS NEVER DIE.
ANTHONY QUINN HAD A BABY OUT OF
WEDLOCK AT 78.
HIS WIFE WAS VERY MAD AT HIM --
AND THEN HE DID IT AGAIN AT 81.
[LAUGHTER]
ITALY'S LECHEROUS OLD PRIME
MINISTER SILVIO BERLUSCONI WAS
HAVING BUNGA BUNGA PARTIES IN
HIS 70S.
DO YOU THINK DONALD TRUMP JUST
ONE DAY SAID, "YEAH SEX WAS FUN
BUT I THINK I'LL SWITCH TO
BUILDING SHIPS IN A BOTTLE"?
[LAUGHTER]
AND AGAIN, WE KNOW IT'S NOT
MELANIA.
PLEASE -- IT'S JUST NOT.
SHE WON'T EVEN GIVE HIM HAND.
[LAUGHTER]
SHE HATES HIM, AND HE'S MADE IT
PLAIN HE'S NOT INTO
AGE.
TO HIM, SHE'S A MILD: A MOM I'D
LIKE TO DIVORCE.
[LAUGHTER]
DO THEY EVEN LIVE TOGETHER?
IS SHE ALIVE?
HE SEEMS TO LIVE COMPLETELY AS A
SINGLE MAN -- STILL ALPHA, STILL
CRAZY, AND I BET STILL HORNY --
IT DOESN'T ADD UP.
SOMEONE --ME TEAM OF
PEOPLE -- LINDSEY GRAHAM COULD
IS BLOWING DONALD TRUMP AND IT'S
A SCANDAL WE DON'T KNOW WHAT THE
SCANDAL IS.
WE CERTAINLY KNOW ALL ABOUT HIS
[LAUGHTER]
PAST SEX LIFE -- THE CHEATING,
THE GROPING, THE WALKING INTO
THE DRESSING ROOM AT BEAUTY
PAGEANTS.
HOT FOR DAUGHTER.
[LAUGHTER]
TELLING TEN-YEAR-OLDS HE'LL BE
DATING THEM IN TEN YEARS.
THE PARTIES WITH EPSTEIN, THE
GRABBING PUSSIES, THE PORN STAR
MISTRESS -- EVERYTHING.
AND THEN THE HISTORICAL RECORD
GOES BLANK.
WHAT HAPPENED?
WHY CAN'T WE UNEARTH HIS BONE?
[LAUGHTER]

TWO YEARS WHEN HE'S AT
MAR-A-LAGO?
HE LIVES AT A COUNTRY CLUB!
WITH HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE COMING

HAVE TO FAKE HOW THE GROUPIES
GET IN.
[LAUGHTER]
AND THEY MUST GET IN, HE'S A MAN
WHO LIVES TO BE ADORED, AND
FLORIDA IS FULL OF THOUSANDS OF
UNHINGED MAGA SLUTS WHO SEE HIM
[LAUGHTER]
AS SENT BY GOD TO SAVE AMERICA,
AND IT'S WELL KNOWN EVANGELICAL
CHICKS ARE THE FREAKIEST.
CULT LEADERS GET LAID -- THERE'S
NO WAY THIS IS NOT HAPPENING.
WHO IS BLOWING DONALD TRUMP?
I HAVE TO KNOW THIS.
I HAVE A RIGHT TO KNOW THIS.
IT'S NOT LIKE THESE ARE THE DAYS
OF JFK, WHEN THE MEDIA COVERED
UP INDISCRETIONS FOR THE SAKE OF
THE COUNTRY.
RIGHT, THE MEDIA HAS TOO MUCH
CLASS TO BLAB.
[LAUGHTER]
THIS WOULD GET THE MOST CLICKS
EVER.
TWITTER WOULD BE SO LIT UP ELON
WOULD HAVE TOIRE BACK ALL THE
[LAUGHTER]
EMPLOYEES.
I DON'T COUNT ON THE NEWS MEDIA
FOR MUCH ANYMORE -- BUT I DO
EXPECT THEM TO TELL ME WHO'SWHO.
[LAUGHTER]

PROBLEM.

WHICH CASE I FEEL FOR YOU.
NO, I'M JUST SAYING, I'M NOT
TRYING TO BAIT YOU INTO A
RESPONSE TO PROVE YOUR DICK
STILL WORKS -- MAYBE IT DOES,
IT'S POSSIBLE THEORETICALLY.
[LAUGHTER]
BUT REALLY THERE'S NO OTHER
EXPLANATION HOW A CULT LEADER
WITH HUNDREDS OF WILLING
GROUPIES WHO'S NOT RESD BY
HIS WIFE, BY HIS OPTIONS, OR BY
MORALS, COULD NOT BE HAVING SEX
WITH ANYONE.
I WOULDN'T BE SURPRISED IF YOU
NICKNAMED YOUR PENIS "MIKE
PENCE"
[LAUGHTER]
BECAUSE IT'S NOT HUNG
LIKE IT SHOULD BE.
[LAUGHTER]
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
