00:00:00.000 Can you pull up Bill Maher's clip, Rob, of the one where he says,
00:00:04.660 why don't these liberals come on my show?
00:00:07.040 Okay, if you can go on that. Is this the one, Rob?
00:00:09.060 Yes, sir.
00:00:09.460 Okay, go for it.
00:00:13.240 People ask me all the time, why haven't you ever had Hillary or Bill Clinton on? 0.84
00:00:18.720 Why didn't you have Kamala on during the last campaign?
00:00:22.060 You think we don't ask?
00:00:24.600 We ask these people every week.
00:00:26.860 They say no.
00:00:27.780 It took eight years and a petition to get Obama on.
00:00:32.440 And these are people, all people, I voted for.
00:00:35.860 Think about that.
00:00:36.800 They're afraid to come on the show of a guy who voted for them.
00:00:40.840 The Republicans, they show up.
00:00:43.800 And when they do, they take their beating like a man.
00:00:47.360 What's a man?
00:00:48.520 Yeah.
00:00:48.980 So, you know why they don't show up, Bill?
00:00:51.980 Ask the question, why they don't show up.
00:00:55.580 Maybe because they feel like they own you.
00:00:58.480 You know, maybe because they feel like your audience is theirs.
00:01:02.180 Like they work for them.
00:01:03.880 Maybe because they feel like you'd never vote Republican.
00:01:06.580 You'd never vote for Republican.
00:01:08.560 You'd never vote Republican in 2020.
00:01:10.520 You know that.
00:01:11.960 You work for them and it's for free.
00:01:14.320 You're going to constantly, you go as close as agreeing with Trump, but then I'm voting for Kamala.
00:01:20.560 You go as close as saying, I can't believe what they did with vaccine, but I'm taking it.
00:01:24.340 You'd go as close to here and then go over here.
00:01:26.820 That's why they know what you're going to be doing.
00:01:29.020 You're fairly consistent.
00:01:30.200 You're consistently voting for them.
00:01:33.320 They don't need to come on your show.
00:01:34.740 They don't need to come talk to your audience.
00:01:36.560 They already own your audience.
00:01:37.700 And unfortunately, what this also does say, though, is the following.
00:01:42.380 Okay.
00:01:43.640 What places, let's actually go through and see the criticism of some of the politicians in 2024 election last year.
00:01:51.660 2023, 2024.
00:01:52.860 2024, who got criticized for not going on all podcasts last year?
00:01:57.620 Kamala.
00:01:57.800 Kamala Harris.
00:01:58.400 No, on the Republican side.
00:01:59.740 Who got criticized for not going?
00:02:01.200 DeSantis?
00:02:02.180 DeSantis.
00:02:02.820 Probably the biggest one.
00:02:03.840 Ron.
00:02:04.200 Like, we had to make five videos of saying, what the hell are you doing for finally be like, okay, I'll come over here.
00:02:09.600 And finally comes on.
00:02:10.500 By the way, apparently, Michael Wolff, I was talking to him this Saturday, you know, the Fire and Fury guy?
00:02:14.680 Yeah.
00:02:14.960 Apparently, in his last book, he talked about us in his book with the DeSantis scene.
00:02:19.460 He says, you know, you were in my last book.
00:02:20.880 I said, which part?
00:02:22.260 And then Humberto says, yeah, the whole part with DeSantis was in Michael.
00:02:26.040 You know who Michael Wolff took, Fire and Fury?
00:02:27.720 Of course.
00:02:28.220 Out of all the episodes that made it?
00:02:30.540 DeSantis, you were even in Michael Fury's book.
00:02:33.600 Michael Wolff's book.
00:02:34.240 Michael Wolff's book, yeah.
00:02:35.480 Fire and Fury.
00:02:35.840 But if you think about it, not this one, his latest book.
00:02:38.060 So if you think about it, Nikki Haley, she didn't go on podcasts.
00:02:41.560 Nope.
00:02:42.380 Okay.
00:02:42.700 Chris Christie didn't go on a lot of podcasts.
00:02:44.820 Nope.
00:02:45.360 Okay.
00:02:46.280 Vivek.
00:02:47.680 Everywhere.
00:02:49.480 Anywhere.
00:02:49.840 He was here twice.
00:02:50.600 Okay.
00:02:52.000 Anywhere.
00:02:52.720 Okay.
00:02:53.220 You go talk to Trump.
00:02:55.680 Anywhere.
00:02:56.880 Anyplace.
00:02:57.800 Democrats?
00:02:58.680 No.
00:02:59.280 You know what that shows, Bill?
00:03:00.560 Maybe they're scared.
00:03:02.120 Maybe they're scared because their policies have holes in them.
00:03:06.020 Maybe they're scared because, you know, there has to be gamification.
00:03:10.780 Maybe they're scared because it's the same old way of doing business.
00:03:13.880 Maybe they're scared because their policies haven't necessarily been proven right too often where they're kind of like wanting to sit on the sidelines.
00:03:21.960 Maybe they're still old school where they feel like, you know, questions have to be given to them.
00:03:27.080 And a guy like you maybe doesn't want to give the questions.
00:03:28.800 I don't know.
00:03:29.220 Maybe you would give the questions.
00:03:30.580 I don't think you would because while I'm watching Bill, here's another take on Bill.
00:03:35.440 Okay.
00:03:35.660 Bill on Trump.
00:03:36.600 Rob, do you have that one on him on Trump?
00:03:38.680 He almost gets emotional here.
00:03:40.820 Watch Bill.
00:03:41.420 To be fair with Bill, because I think he's played a very important role the last couple of years.
00:03:45.600 Watch this clip here.
00:03:46.400 Go for it.
00:03:46.880 Look, I'll say this for Trump.
00:03:49.200 He's got this idea that America is still the biggest swinging dick in the world.
00:03:54.140 And we have not used our power as much as we should.
00:03:57.480 That's what the tariffs are about.
00:03:59.300 We have the power to change these people's, other nations' trading practices with us, some of which were out of line.
00:04:06.840 I'm surprised that people went along with it as much as they did.
00:04:10.740 So he wasn't completely wrong about that.
00:04:12.720 He said, look, NATO hasn't been paying their fair share.
00:04:15.600 I'm going to make them do that.
00:04:16.860 He wasn't wrong about that.
00:04:18.300 And I'll tell you this, one thing about him that I know, I'm not going to tell you how I know, but a lot of people have seen the same thing.
00:04:27.160 He really does hate war.
00:04:29.720 He really does not like it when people die in war.
00:04:33.400 There's four different wars.
00:04:35.740 It's almost like Bill is a hypocrite.
00:04:38.520 For him to say that.
00:04:39.520 That's right.
00:04:40.320 Wow.
00:04:40.800 So you know what it is with Bill?
00:04:43.560 Bill, they hate people like Bill.
00:04:45.660 Of course.
00:04:46.360 The left.
00:04:47.240 He's thinking.
00:04:48.220 You know why?
00:04:48.940 Because there's too much reason.
00:04:50.980 Yeah.
00:04:51.880 There's too much reason.
00:04:53.320 He is willing.
00:04:54.720 Go to the power versus force, Rob, if you could, the chart.
00:04:58.440 When you go to the power versus force, Bill Maher is willing and is accepting and is able to reason.
00:05:05.300 Those are all the qualities they hate.
00:05:07.100 He's past courage.
00:05:07.500 Look at courage level 200, then go neutrality, then go willingness.
00:05:10.880 He's willing to go visit Trump.
00:05:13.300 He is accepting that he won.
00:05:15.120 He is willing to reason.
00:05:16.780 And I actually think Bill Maher loves America.
00:05:18.800 Wow.
00:05:19.100 He's up there.
00:05:19.520 I actually think Bill Maher loves America.
00:05:21.020 I wouldn't go that far.
00:05:22.380 No, no.
00:05:22.900 You don't think he loves America?
00:05:23.700 I believe in reason.
00:05:24.740 I believe Bill loves America.
00:05:26.800 Of course.
00:05:27.180 I think so, too.
00:05:27.800 I believe Bill loves America.
00:05:28.840 I believe he's.
00:05:29.500 So what's the point of where it's going to today on original statement with Bill?
00:05:34.600 Well, you know, it's, you know, they're not coming here.
00:05:37.600 They're not coming.
00:05:38.140 There is a reason.
00:05:40.060 There is a reason.
00:05:41.740 Why would somebody?
00:05:42.560 I went and sat down in front of 20 anti-capitalist socialists in L.A., knowing the fact that these guys are in college right now.
00:05:49.900 They're being fed everything by the professors on the left.
00:05:52.660 They have every history story.
00:05:53.900 I'm not reading history books like the way they're reading right now.
00:05:56.160 They're in school.
00:05:56.680 I knew what was going to happen.
00:05:57.940 I'll sit down and talk to you.
00:05:59.640 Let's talk.
00:06:00.080 What do you want to talk about?
00:06:01.400 These topics, these issues?
00:06:02.640 Let's sit down and talk about it.
00:06:04.120 The people on this side, they're willing to entertain ideas that they have knowledge on, that they're willing to go.
00:06:12.620 The only reason you don't want to go sit down and have a debate with a topic is what?
00:06:16.000 It's not a topic I'm knowledgeable on.
00:06:18.220 Hey, Vinny, we want you to come and debate why tariffs suck.
00:06:21.700 Guess what?
00:06:22.100 If you do it, you're.
00:06:24.300 I have one or two good points, but I'm not going to.
00:06:26.000 But if they want to debate Tom on tariffs, guess what?
00:06:28.620 Tom should do it.
00:06:29.580 He would do it, right?
00:06:31.000 So the reality of it is, like this part when even Bill is starting to say something like that, no one is surprised.
00:06:37.100 It's to the point that right now he's giving credits on the tariffs.
00:06:40.040 There's a lot of things that's going on right now in the marketplace.
