And so Bill Maher is not too happy with Mamdani. Here's what Bill Maher had to say about Mamdani.
00:00:04.560
So Bill is minding his own business, doing his own show, and then all of a sudden, boom.
00:00:11.980
It matters that the mayor stands by, and so I assume stands with, someone who says things like,
00:00:20.400
if you don't believe in the government's sacred right to seize private property, it's over.
00:00:25.460
Seize private property. Home ownership is racist.
00:00:32.900
Private property, especially home ownership, is a weapon of white supremacy.
00:00:37.680
Really? Even among the 20 million black Americans who own their own home?
00:00:44.660
I mean, these are the kind of utterances I might forgive as something a dumb white girl said while she was at Brinoir.
00:00:54.460
Because it's the kind of privilege-hating you can only learn for $95,000 a year.
00:01:06.240
Yes, for co-eds from elite private colleges, you're only a lesbian until graduation, but the communism lasts a lifetime.
00:01:14.300
Democrats seem to be having this debate whether or not Mayor Mamdani is a socialist or a democratic socialist.
00:01:22.180
Let me settle it. He's a straight-up communist.
00:01:30.480
By the way, they pull up the clapping sign, and 80% is like, no, I'm not doing it.
00:01:42.320
What I'm trying to say is credit to him for saying this in front of a crowd that doesn't support him.
00:02:05.880
When Bill Maher does his HBO show, how many people are usually in the audience?
00:02:45.760
Between the lines, when one of his major advisors says,
00:02:55.640
He's allowed to believe it, and people are allowed to vote for it.
00:02:58.760
But if liberals deny it, like he's just going through a goth phase,
00:03:08.980
And this is the pendulum never lands in the middle problem I'm always bitching about.
00:03:13.820
Really, the choices we get here are either the worst version of crony capitalism or communism,
00:03:20.740
either a side deal for the Trump family every time he does business overseas,
00:03:26.200
or the lady who says, impoverish the white middle class.
00:03:30.600
Oh, yeah, there's a great campaign slogan for you.
00:03:34.660
Honestly, as New York mayoral races go, I was less creeped out by Anthony Weiner's dick.
00:03:53.780
As a guy from, by the way, take 30 seconds, tell the audience your background so they know where you're from.
00:04:08.120
Well, I was born in Chile, grew up in Dubai under a monarchy, best system.
00:04:18.520
But I came here, went to school here, you know, and then I went back to Chile, ran out of eyeballs,
00:04:39.480
So now go back and tell your story of what you think about what Bill Maher said about-
00:04:46.400
No, I'm telling you, scripted Bill Maher, he's the best.
00:04:52.740
But when he's on Club Random, I'm like, who is this guy?
00:04:56.320
Like, I don't miss the HBO show, but I can't watch his podcast.
00:05:05.600
Because he has over 10 to, I want to say, 15 writers writing that monologue.
00:05:12.220
Yeah, they're adjusting to the time, though, because he-
00:05:16.320
They're not watching the trends of mainstream media?
00:05:20.320
That's why he's tolerable and why the show keeps going.
00:05:22.920
If he was just all anti-Trump, he went and sat with Trump.
00:05:29.820
No, by the way, if you think I sit there and watch that show, I just watch the clips
00:05:34.960
But at the end of the day, you heard what he said?
00:05:46.080
He doesn't mention George Bush Jr., the freaking-
00:05:51.920
It's like, you're never going to get something perfect.
00:05:57.660
And by the way, we're doing something special on the 250th, 4th of July.
00:06:04.760
I'll announce it to you when it's ready to announce.
00:06:08.060
But we're going to do a handful of special pieces of merch, limited edition, numbered.
00:06:14.120
This one's going to be out of 250 with the number 250.
00:06:18.240
So it's numbered out of 250 for the 250-year celebration of U.S.
00:06:26.820
But we're excited about this year with all the chaos that's happened.
00:06:30.060
And when we break down to you what is really going on or makes sense to you.
00:06:33.340
But having said that, Rob, go ahead and play this clip.
00:06:41.600
Built on American craftsmanship, intention, and pride.
00:07:06.960
This is our 250 years, limited edition collection.
00:07:24.840
If you wait, by the way, for some of you guys that unfortunately will watch this this afternoon
00:07:28.260
because you wait for the clips, you can find the items that people buy on eBay.
00:07:32.940
That'll be the only place you'll be able to get it.
00:07:40.000
If you go to eBay afterwards, you may find it because these things are not going to last
00:07:45.900
Every time we do limited merch, the hat comes in a box that says Future Looks Bright
00:08:00.280
If you go to vtmerch.com on the cover, you'll see the 250.
00:08:06.700
And if not for you, buy it for somebody else as well.
