00:00:00.000 Bill Maher is being interviewed about who he's going to be voting for.
00:00:03.880 And you don't hear him say stuff like this, ever.
00:00:06.700 But here's what Bill Maher recently said.
00:00:09.140 He says, yes, my vote is in play.
00:00:11.540 What does that mean?
00:00:12.520 Here's Bill.
00:00:13.380 You told J.D. Vance you're open, your vote is up for grabs.
00:00:17.380 Yes, my vote is in play.
00:00:19.520 Because it can't be Trump running.
00:00:21.720 So I'm not living in communist America.
00:00:24.580 I mean, I know the talking point is, well, it's not communism, it's socialism.
00:00:30.120 Okay, I've read the quotes from the DSA platform from their own mouths.
00:00:37.260 Don't tell me I'm not seeing what I am seeing.
00:00:40.060 And DSA, again, they say things like, you know, takeover of key industries, government.
00:00:47.160 That's communism.
00:00:48.360 You know, there is a definition.
00:00:49.920 By the way, Trump's doing that, too.
00:00:51.420 Of course.
00:00:52.600 Yes.
00:00:53.520 And to a degree that we haven't seen any other president
00:00:56.500 do that a Republican do.
00:00:58.020 That's crazy, too.
00:00:59.180 He's got a piece of intel.
00:01:00.340 Right.
00:01:00.860 He's got a piece of the AI company.
00:01:02.220 He treats everything like it's a real estate deal.
00:01:04.600 You told J.D. Vance here open your ears.
00:01:06.460 So what's happening here?
00:01:07.900 What's happening here with Bill?
00:01:09.220 You think anything's happening with Bill?
00:01:11.220 And how many other Bills you think are out there?
00:01:14.200 There's, Pat, there's multiple.
00:01:16.140 Like, I mean, Stephen A., and I love him to death,
00:01:18.340 but, like, the Bill Maher's and a lot of these people
00:01:20.440 that have woken up, Chamath and all them, Pat,
00:01:22.320 they're in a different category but they're finally realizing what you created okay but it's
00:01:28.400 too late for 10 years the Bill Maher's and all these people cheered as all these radical voices
00:01:34.460 Pat took over their armed party and while they didn't give a damn their only message was orange
00:01:40.000 man Trump bad he's bad Hitler they obsessed over him they mocked anybody like us that sounded the 0.99
00:01:46.280 alarm okay they labeled anybody that was talking crap Pat as hate and they applauded while these 0.99
00:01:51.500 extremists hijacked the agenda now some of them like him are waking up but guess what this horror 0.99
00:01:58.140 the frankenstein monster that you helped create they're here and they're not going anywhere pat
00:02:02.760 it's too late okay the fight for the identity of the party it's not it's it's coming it's around
00:02:08.200 the corner it's here pat it is here okay they didn't lose their identity they surrounded it
00:02:13.660 they wanted it and but while they were looking this way pat this kept growing and growing and
00:02:18.760 growing and now trump is on his way out two years left and they're turning back and they're like oh
00:02:23.640 my god and for bill maher for bill maher one of the biggest leftists out there now he's finally
00:02:29.660 saying oh wait a minute this socialism communism guess what you guys spent freaking 10 years 0.52
00:02:35.840 talking crap about one man and now your party is finished so now deal with it and that's it 0.65
00:02:39.860 the first thing that bill maher said is um well trump's not running so that shows you that the 0.95
00:02:45.900 first thing on their mind is no trump not trump never trump all trump bad and not everything is
00:02:53.640 in that category this you could take a look at what's happening in in a lot of sectors and a
00:02:57.620 lot of things in the economy we got to get the war done we got to deal with data centers there's a lot
00:03:01.380 of things that can and will and should be addressed so but it's all about not trump a lot of things
00:03:06.460 that can and will and should be addressed so but it's all about not trump not trump not trump not
00:03:11.840 Trump. So now that there's an open decision, he backs up. And what does he say? I'm not sure I
00:03:18.820 like what I see next to the D. I'm not sure. And here's him, by the way, here's him saying that
00:03:24.580 to J.D. Benson. By the way, the D is, guys, please like Tom is on a roll today. It's definitely
00:03:29.260 Democrats. Let's go ahead. Yeah, Democrats. If this is where the Democratic Party is going,
00:03:34.400 where this Democratic Socialist, this obsession with Israel, with the Jew hating, with they don't
00:03:39.460 believe in capitalism no prisons if this is where they're going my vote is in play okay and i like
00:03:46.380 to hear that it actually always has been i just every year i don't make my decision by who was
00:03:51.580 an r or d i actually always came to the conclusion that the democrat was probably better sure and
00:03:56.880 voted for them okay and trump can't run again and he'd be a little too exciting for me anyway
00:04:01.900 so it's either going to be you or rubio like if this is where the democrat if you would have said
00:04:09.740 10 years ago there's going to come a time that bill maher is going to say marco rubio or jd vance
00:04:15.620 maybe even five years ago that bill is there imagine how much and by the way do you know the
00:04:22.280 more and more you watch what uh uh uh you know how i keep saying the democratic candidate could
00:04:28.260 be aoc could be aoc could be absolutely i i am hoping it is i am hoping it is why you know why
00:04:36.160 because if she's the democratic candidate there is a lot we think we think right if you look at
00:04:43.120 this right now gavin osom is one who's two ossoff who's three aoc but by how much by one percent
00:04:49.580 yep ossoff just came up because he's been calling out trump lately and the full nation has not seen
00:04:54.740 him yet i hope it's aoc i hope it's aoc because if it's aoc you know we keep thinking like 0.98
00:05:01.600 all democrats are bad people all republicans are bad people all muslims are bad people 0.99
00:05:07.780 all nationals are bad people all jews are bad people that's simply not true and we have to 1.00
00:05:14.540 just understand that part okay are there some jews that want control and they want to do this 0.99
00:05:20.120 yes are there some muslims that want to see sharia law come into america yes you know are there some 0.53
00:05:27.200 democrats that want socialism and communism yes are there some you know republicans that want
00:05:33.500 all colored people gone and just a white nationalist and yes are yes we can't say no 0.78
00:05:39.880 but there's millions of sensible democrats that they're democrats because of pro-choice 0.94
00:05:47.400 That they're Democrats because of what happened with Martin Luther King or some of the events back in the days.
00:05:52.500 That they're Democrats because of other issues that took place.
00:05:56.380 And they became Democrats.
00:05:58.500 Those Democrats are on the trading block right now, open to the idea of going conservative.
00:06:05.820 So I hope socialism makes a massive move.
00:06:09.060 But if there's one thing Republicans have to get it right, to get the masses,
00:06:13.000 if the Republicans don't understand the solution.
00:06:16.540 And it's not a hard fix, by the way.
00:06:18.380 It's actually a very easy fix.
00:06:20.300 If J.D. or Marco Rubio, one of these two guys comes out
00:06:25.620 and talks about no taxes, no federal income tax paid.
00:06:30.980 If you vote me, no federal income tax paid for anybody under the age of 30.
00:06:36.300 What does that mean? 0.95
00:06:37.220 We want to give you a head start.
00:06:39.160 That would be the hottest thing you'll announce.
00:06:42.680 It's about $250 billion.
00:06:43.940 I don't know the exact amount.
00:06:45.020 I think it's about $250 billion of how much revenue comes in.
00:06:47.940 Can you pull up how much taxes is collected of people under the age of 30? 0.98
00:06:52.180 They have to figure out a way to come out and do something
00:06:55.920 that folks under the age of 30 don't pay any federal income taxes. 0.80
00:07:00.340 You know what will happen if they do that?
00:07:01.840 Why are we doing this?
00:07:03.160 This is your head start. 1.00
00:07:04.520 Hurry up and make money to get the down payment for your house. 1.00
00:07:07.540 Hurry up and make money to get money to have kids.
00:07:09.780 hurry up and make money in your 20s and don't lala gag because this is your only chance you
00:07:14.960 have that you will not be paying federal income tax go make that money republicans have to figure
00:07:20.680 out a way to make life better for the youth because they are really going through it they
00:07:26.980 are so to me i hope it's an aoc i hope it's a socialist i hope it's that person and i think
00:07:33.280 democrats are going to be like look i'm a democrat but i'm not a socialist those are two different
00:07:37.300 things and i hope that changes right there so total federal income i said 250 billion it's around
00:07:42.020 275 billion dollars if you just do federal income taxes okay let's invest that into the kids that
00:07:48.760 money's going to go into the economy anyways all that 275 to 350 billion is saying what cut some
00:07:54.700 shit that you do at the government give that money to them that money goes into the economy 0.70
00:07:59.120 they're going to spend it they're going to buy a house they're going to buy a car they're going to 0.96
00:08:02.060 have kids they're going to do they're going to invest into education some of them they're going
00:08:06.140 invest into some dumb things but that's the risk you got to take but if somebody can get behind that
00:08:11.100 message that message i think that'd be attractive and i'd like to see one of those two guys saying
00:08:17.320 it early don't wait till election time somebody needs to on a podcast drop it to be the first to
00:08:22.460 say it rubio or jd one they have to believe in that idea of course and two is let's find a way
00:08:28.580 to make life better for our youth but pat amazing point that should be the campaign freaking slogan
00:08:33.380 like no federal tax under 30 that would be on a t-shirt and sell but guys let's not like bill
00:08:40.320 maher is acting like he's so surprised and who did he endorse in 2016 it wasn't hillary clinton
00:08:45.620 who did he who did he back bernie sanders the freaking guy that goes to russia it's bill maher
00:08:51.860 bill maher supported him he said fda goes i want to help your campaign i want to see you get the 0.90
00:08:55.620 nomination so it's not as if you were willing to vote for a guy that's a socialist slash communist 0.95
00:09:01.260 that wants to go to freaking russia and be the all the taxing all all of your freaking people 0.96
00:09:06.160 all the millionaires and billionaires it's like give me a freaking break it's too late it's too 0.93
00:09:10.580 late so now you guys have to deal with what you guys created so he's turning and there's people
00:09:15.940 that are noticing it i remember i was pretty shocked i just went back and looked it up
00:09:19.120 on may 15th um uh bill maher did an amazing uh post on x i thought was well written i hope he
00:09:27.420 wrote it and it wasn't one of his writers i hope it came from his heart because it certainly sounded
00:09:31.500 like it did and he sends it up there and sarah eisen who's very conservative and she's on cnbc
00:09:37.600 she retweets it with the with simply this pat every word period because she agreed with where
00:09:44.380 he was going and so i believe that there is a a change going with him you know you can't judge
00:09:50.620 you've got to be careful about who do you support back then vinnie because that's very true and he
00:09:55.360 said a lot of things that hurt and sting conservatives like us but you're also allowed
00:09:59.800 to morph and change you're allowed you're allowed to evolve forward i agree that's fine you know um
00:10:03.740 when i hear the things that my uh my mom said when she first got married to my dad that was the
00:10:08.360 influence of her democrat parents who were fdr democrats but you look at my mom now forget about
00:10:14.380 it she's evolved and she's older and concerned about security and things like that i think you're
00:10:19.400 seeing that there's a lot more to your question that you asked pat i think yes there are a lot
00:10:24.640 more Bill Maher's. They're finding it safe to come out in public because when Bill Maher does that,
00:10:30.140 he's allowing other people that have different platforms to say it's safe to come out and say
00:10:34.700 that. I'm coming to you, Adam. Thoughts? Yes, sir. Well, I agree with what PPD said about
00:10:39.320 individual groups and their own self-interest. Every group should be looking out for their own
00:10:44.500 self-interest for your family, for the people around you. The catch is, does that come with,
00:10:50.860 do you want not only what's best for you but what's best for america the problem that bill
00:10:55.600 maher is realizing that a lot of us have realized for a few years now that a lot of us have realized
00:11:01.480 for decades is the democratic party is not the democratic party that we're used to they don't
00:11:06.500 love america full stop this new dsa they don't want to save america they don't want to pass the
00:11:14.360 Save America Act. They want to change or tear down America. So thank God Bill Maher, 70 years old,
00:11:21.960 voting Democrats for 50 years almost, is going to potentially change his vote. I'm not so much
00:11:28.060 worried about that. I'm worried about what that represents. I think 2028, more people that have
00:11:35.120 voted Democrat their entire life are going to for a second say, you know what? Is this really me?
00:11:40.900 and my advice to them is make them earn your vote don't just give it to them because you're black
00:11:47.640 or you're jewish or you're a woman make each party earn your vote and tom i think at the end of the
00:11:53.420 day it will be rubio but we'll see what happens and tom i i could forgive him and guess what if
00:11:58.200 he wants to come and vote republican and help us in 2028 so we can keep the future looking bright
00:12:02.860 i'm all for it but the damage has been done for the 10 years that it was tom think about everything
00:12:08.600 that happened for those 10 years from the border to everything crickets it was just trump trump
00:12:13.480 trump trump trump and now we're left with a thousand percent agree and now they let the
00:12:18.400 enemy come in tom and now we have to deal with it people ask us and say hey we'd love to come
00:12:22.760 to the campus get a tour an entire new headquarters 11 acres on the airport allegedly this was a
00:12:27.960 former cia dod property that oliver north did the iran contract this airport that you guys now own
