Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
Look, I have so much to say about that, but I can't bury the lead. I can't bury the lead. Religion is stupid and makes people do stupid things. That's the lead story for that one.

Terrence Howard | Club Random
Give up great pussy because, I don't know, Jehovah's watching is just, I can't. I can't go there with you.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
Well, that's profound and that's deep. But if it's because of God, I can't quite respect that. But if it's because you really don't want to have sex until you feel something, that I respect a lot.

Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
The biggest change I would say in my life, decade to decade, is that in the earlier decades of adulthood, I gave no consideration to basically what a very good looking woman was like. I mean, I couldn't steal myself to whatever she was if she was very good looking and I wanted to have sexual intercourse with her.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
At a certain point, that goes away, and they at least have to be someone who you also would want to have lunch with or, you know, can talk to before the sex happens, you know, this kind of thing. That's not quite spiritual, but to me it was progress. Now, maybe someday I'll have to be like, well, she's got to be on the same page with God as me.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
No, never drop names. De Niro told me that.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
Well, I'm so happy that you're happy. I mean, that's great that you've found the one. I mean, that's what everybody's looking for in the big Easter egg hunt of life to find that egg in the grass. just the right one.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
This is something I'm shaking over. I'm going to call the flag on this and say you are. Bro, how are you? Such a pleasure, man. My pleasure. Thank you for being here. Yeah, dude. Wow, you hold up well. You suck at that.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
So that's where the... I've read your shit on this. And then I know Neil deGrasse Tyson... Tried to shit on this. Well, he sure did.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
I don't know. I don't even know the particulars that much. I just know there was a feud. A little bit. I gave him my stuff. But all I have to say is I don't know the specifics. I know what you're saying is either way smarter than I am Way dumber. I don't know which one it is.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
Oh, I see. Yeah. Well, but one plus one equals two.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
Does this have anything to do with October 3rd? No. Oh, okay.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
No, but like people think numbers. I used to think that. I got to admit, there was 20 years of my younger life when I was like, I paid a lot of attention to like numbers, like dates, and like, you know, saw some like meaning in that. I still do.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
Yeah, you know what? I once had a cut on my head and they shaved it and there was a 666.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
Is the key of A. What does that mean, the key of A? The key of A, the tone of A. The tone of A. Tones have number?
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
Yeah, I've seen that 432 hertz. 433 kills you.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
So they're important. Okay. So when the Beatles got back from India, they remastered all their records?
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
Do you know the connection the Beatles had with Jimi Hendrix?
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
Sgt. Pepper, that album, you know it, you love it, you hate it,
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
That's a yellow submarine. No, that's Magical Mystery Tour. But listen.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
Yeah. On the Beatles, yes. So Sgt. Pepper came out, I think, in June of 1967, and Jimi Hendrix was in London. And the day the album came out, he learned... the title song, and played it that night with Paul McCartney in the audience at a club he was playing at. It came out that day, and he played it that night. That's a motherfucker, huh?
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
I wouldn't say all the Beatles songs were just three-chord shuffles.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
And this is the beginning of their later period.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
No, they had their early sound, which you're right, was more simple. I have way less of that in my iPod because some of it is just, first of all, the lyrics are for 12-year-olds in 1966. This is not interesting stuff to me. But the songs have great energy and some of them are just timeless and they're awesome. But they really started to grow when they got off the road. Revolver is 1966.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
That's like Eleanor Rigby. Sergeant Pepper is the next year. Then comes the Magical Mystery Tour with your Warwick song. Then the White Album. Then Abbey Road. Then Let It Be, or actually Let It Be, then Abbey Road. So that whole second half of their career, it was way beyond three-chord shuffles. That's why they were so great in that era.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
Manhattan Plaza were all like the actors were, right? Yes, yes. It was like rent subsidized for artists. Artists.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
I know a comic who lived in that building because... He got that dispensation, yeah. He still has it? Does he still have the coins? No, he's very rich now. No, he doesn't need it now. David, Larry David.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
But that's why we like you. I mean, that's why they like me. You know, you can't, you know, watch the song. If you ain't got no haters, you ain't poppin'. You ain't poppin'. I ain't watched you. I mean, that's been my whole month.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
See? I'm telling you, when you look like you, Terrence, you're just going to attract.

Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
Well, that's kind of what's happening with Christian nationalism. Some folks want to take over the wheel and force everyone to follow their beliefs. shoving religion into our laws, our schools, and even our personal choices. But hey, this country was built for everyone, not just for one group. That's where the Freedom From Religion Foundation comes in.

I'll just put it that way. And it's a, you know...
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
Yeah, it can be a lot when that's what you're always, every time you leave the house.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
I mean, first of all, that's not even my situation. I'm super happy the way I am.

Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
I am in love. Oh, I love that. You killed it right there. But, like, I just remember younger years. There was not a time when I left the house where it wasn't on my mind. I'm talking about my 20s, you know. Maybe the 30s sometimes if I wasn't with somebody. It's just exhausting. I'm going to the mall. Does this belt look good?
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
That's going to make a difference between you meeting somebody at the mall and then getting laid and living happily ever after. It's all in the belt.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
I know, but again, it's going to be harder in your life because married chicks are still going to look at you and go— On their pass. Yes, correct.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
And you too. You still get it. Oh, please, please. This is not a fair fight.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
You know what? I'm happy with my lot in life because if you look like you, it is more trouble too. Like I don't have a lot of trouble, you know, mom, pretty clean, no, no marriages, no convictions, never caught my toe caught in the trap. It doesn't mean I haven't been happy. Not always, but you know, it's just, um, yeah, I mean, it can be a kind of a burden being too popular.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
Well, you're not stopping, are you? I got to, dude.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
No, you don't. That's a bad idea. I've tried to go in... May I just say, as a friend who I don't know you well, but I like you already, I always liked you. You were just that guy, that leading man guy who was like, well, I could never be that, but he's just so cool. I can't be jealous of it. I just was born different. But if I could, I'd be like that.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
That's the kind of guy, if I was going to be that kind of guy. But like...
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
Oh, yeah, but I just think you should not stop acting. You're good at it. We want to see you. The audience is still there. You still look good, and you're at the prime of, like, you've acted long enough. Who are the best actors in the world? There are always people in their 50s and 60s. They just act on a whole different level. We're not acting. They finally, like, it becomes just so natural.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
Don't deprive... Instead of chasing the camera. Yeah, don't deprive us of that era.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
Oh, I know what it really is, but what's it for you?
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
You know what? You got to go for it. I know. But if you have this reputation as runaround sues,
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
Not at first. You know, it's one thing to fight with them or name call. Once you start with the suing, they kind of take it personally. And it gets too close to the money, but it's still not insurmountable. What this country loves more than anything else is a redemption story.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
There has to be every script, you know, whether it's an action movie or a romantic comedy, there has to be, you know, like... It can't just be this. This is boring. You know, the hero rises and then shit happens or and then they break up and like, you lied to me. It's always some contrived thing in the romantic comedies. And then, you know, he chases her back to the airport or whatever.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
Well, I mean, you're an actor. You've got to do what the script says. I'm an emotional whore. No, I love him. I told him when I was fired off of ABC. I needed a... I was on that show for nine years.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
The world doesn't blow up and You know, you have to have that. So, yeah, I get where you are. But, you know, it's going to go to the other place. Because it does. That's the story America loves. And they just like you. You know, when they like you, they just find a way to forgive. I mean, Charlie Sheen. I can pick on him. But, like, this guy has done so much shit that's worse than anybody else.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
Because he's got a great smile. Yeah. Gregarious.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
What did Cuba do? I don't remember. I remember he was in trouble.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
What is it, you know, what is it with all the man-on-man action that I'm learning about? I mean, like with the Puffy parties. Like, the last thing I ever thought that went on there was gay stuff. Not that gay stuff was wrong. It's wonderful. I just did not think that's what Puffy was doing.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
People have been asking that question for 20 years. There's no good answer. But, you know, the great tribute to him was that I needed to go off the air with something nine years in, and I used his couplet. Because at the time, he had that big record with Eminem. And, you know, the final line, I... Like ashes to ashes, dust to dust. I might leave in a body bag, but never in cuffs.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
Look, this is a country of snitches and bitches. And when they want to just disappear you, not to get off on a tangent about how Trump is literally doing that to people now.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
Well, you just can't send American citizens.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
Right to a prison and not just a prison, a gulag. But what I was going to say is the snitches and bitches characterization of this nation in this psychological moment in our life, I think, Sometimes it seems like that's all it is, that everybody just wants to fight all the time and they will just find something to bitch about and hate.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
And if they can take any one or two pieces of information and plausibly put it together in a way that will cancel you, They will do it. They don't care about the truth. They care about a scalp on their wall that they can get. And it happens from the left and it happens from the right. And they just look for that moment.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
So I feel like I've been swimming in a sea of sharks for 32 years is how long I've been on between the two shows. And every day, I feel like I'm swimming among the sharks. And so far, they haven't pulled me down.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
And yours is. Yes, I have too. But look. I'm not going to lie, after the first cancellation, if you went into my office, you were like, when are you going to start to decorate it? I'm like, I don't decorate my office because I feel like any minute I might have to bug out of it. It could happen overnight where literally, you know what? Don't worry about getting any shit from my office.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
Not just clubs, but berated as to how bad you were as a comedian and how much you made the paying customers leave. I've had that lecture. I was once, I did a gig in Cleveland once. In like 1980, I was too early in the business, like one year, to even be doing a headliner gig. It was so terrible.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
And the next day, and I got that lecture after the show, like, you not only are terrible, but you made people leave. And probably not like this place in the future. And then the next day, I got snowed in for 12 hours. I sat at the airport. And I felt like everybody in the airport was looking, going, oh, there's that asshole.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
And that's the way I felt about leaving ABC. And, you know, I love all these, you know, it's so funny. My friend said to me, rappers, they're all so tough until you hear their real name.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
Well, I would do jokes. I mean, first of all, I did not have enough of material, enough of an act to do an hour. And when it didn't go over, I reacted badly. Instead of reacting humbly, I would, like, lash out at the audience. It was all so emotional. You didn't like my joke. Well, fuck you. I guess it's you. You're bad, not me. And that's what a young...
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
24-year-old comic does to really fuck up a night for everybody.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
I can do it. The first thing I ever saw you in was Mr. Holland's anus.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
Well, I saw the porn version. No. Oh, good. I got him to cough laugh.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
Yeah, but I saw you. I remember I saw Angelina Jolie the first time in this TV movie about George Wallace, the Southern racist governor, and his wife. He married Miss Alabama. And then she became the governor when he was term limited or something. And Angelina Jolie played that part. And I said, the first time, I'd never seen her before, and I said, that's going to be a star.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
And I said the same thing about you and Mr. Holland Zahner.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
Well, Richard Dreyfuss has been here, too. Oh, my God. Not in that position.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
Well... No, he just took a bike in that day and was like horizontal in the chair. I mean, a lot of people have Googled it. But look, I like him so much.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
You know what? People give me bad information and people protect people. And you're not the first one here who I was told, like, don't tempt them. And I'm like, you're with me. I'm a tempter. I'm a bad employee. We're at Club Random. This is known to be a place.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
Oh, I will so set that up. He owes me a favor for like 100. But no, really, I will so set that up. And that'll be fun. Okay. So this is homegrown and good and pure.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
Yeah. Yeah. I don't live here on the farm. I live next door.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
Give me a beer. You remember Cliff Clavin? I know, but cheers. But they also say it's like so much smaller than it was back in the day. Stronger.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
Well, I just think when money gets involved, they will find a way to manipulate seeds. They do it with our food supply is shit because there used to be so many different kinds of wheat. But because of, I can't even explain it, but the economics, and it was more economical.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
I don't understand. He offered me a film. I understand that part. But the part about declining, because that would raise your quote?
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
He was just good people. Hitler was a vegetarian. Everybody's got something about them.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
That must be a shit in your pants now you're. with the suit and like, you got to, who did you bring? I brought my mom. See, that's a safe choice.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
I told you I'm, you think I'm going to give Terrence Howard bad, don't, no.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
Well, you know, as Mario Cuomo used to say, you run for office in poetry, you govern in prose. You know, once you get in, you know, once you are the sheriff, things are a little different. So now he's in office. First of all, just to get confirmed, he probably had to say a few things that he's not completely on the page with.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
Well, of course. I mean, look, it's way better than it used to be. I mean, it used to be like they didn't even try to hide it. No. You know, Marilyn Monroe, who I famously don't think is very attractive. And I don't want to go into that, but she never did it for me. But I know she was, like, the biggest boner in the world. But, I mean, she was, like, used.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
Like, you cannot believe how they just used people in this without any apology or anybody caring.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
The blowing Kennedy scene was so disturbing because Kennedy was always a hero in my household. Okay.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
Okay. So, and look, we don't know if it's true. First of all, it's a movie, okay? You made that up. You weren't there in the room when Marilyn was blowing him. I'm sure she was blowing him. But the way they presented was he was so unfeeling. He's just lying in bed, and he's on the phone. He never gets off the phone.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
The biggest movie star in the world is blowing him, and he's on the phone.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
It's just so demeaning to her, and it's just hard to watch, and that's why Bobby Kennedy is crazy. Okay, no. But we just don't know that it happened that way. You have such power as a filmmaker, and you are playing with fire because you are presenting images that people... cannot forget, and in a part of their mind, you know, think maybe is true.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
And it is possible that Kennedy was that callous, but they just don't know.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
Okay, yeah, well, maybe. He was not physically well, even without getting shot in the head. That didn't help. But he had a bad back before that.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
Oh, I think we all know generally what got him killed, but what's your theory?
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
The Federal Reserve is the U.S. government.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
It has less congressional control, correct, than cabinet positions or any other department, yes. That's for a good reason. You don't want to politicize. Funny enough, Trump's doing that now.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
But he sat here, and we talked for a long time, and he said to me at one point, I said something about anti-vaxxer, and he said, that's what you think I am? And I said, yeah, I do. And that's coming from someone who's been called an anti-vaxxer a lot. And I'm, you know, it's all how you define this. I don't think I'm an anti-vaxxer. I think vaccines are a great tool that we have.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
I'm going to call the flag on this and say you are, because I'm going to go out on a limb and say that may be something Lincoln did, but he did other more controversial things.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
Okay, okay. I can't remember the one thing, but there was something he did that was super controversial at the time. Oh, yes. Freeing the slaves.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
Well, money is in a close contest with race. Because the thing that really unites to me Lincoln and Kennedy, who were killed almost exactly 100 years apart, you know, elected 1860, elected 1960, is that, you know, Kennedy was the person who changed the solid South. It used to be called the solid South. It meant solid Democrats. to solid Republican. That never happened in American history before.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
An entire region switched parties. Why? Because until Kennedy, civil rights was not something the Democrats cared about. In fact, they were on the wrong side of it. After Kennedy, they were on the right side of it. That's why he got shot. Same reason why Lincoln got shot.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
Look, when you send troops, federal troops, to guard black people so that they can go to college, go to school... Kennedy was in it. That's what got him shot. It's like, how dare you come down to our part of the country where we're still really living in Jim Crow, post-slavery, but not certainly...
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
America, and you come in here with the federal troops and your brother, Bobby Kennedy, Bobby Kennedy's father, who was like really adamant about this, that changed an entire way the white electorate in those states voted. And they really haven't voted for Democrats since. That's political guts. And that's why he got shot, I think, more than anything. He also wanted to get out of Vietnam, maybe.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
Lots of stuff that fought the status quo. And also remember the Bay of Pigs?

When he first got into office, he let the CIA have this plan to invade Cuba and take it back. And it didn't go well.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
I just don't want everyone you come up with. I want to be able to make that decision for myself based on my personal health profile. Yeah. He is a little more out there, I think, on lots of stuff. I mean, there's lots of stuff where I just can't go with him.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
Well, that's what the... The Cuban Missile Crisis was about the fact that Russia was sending missiles to Cuba. Castro took over in 1959. Russia was thrilled. We invaded in 1961 when Kennedy was just newly in office and the plan was already in the works. And so he didn't stop it. He knew that the CIA would revolt. They had this plan in the works. We're going to go invade Cuba.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
We're going to use Cuba. It's going to be great. And it wasn't. And they blame him for not giving the air cover that would have helped the invasion. But they were not going to overtake Castro. They just weren't. It was a fool's errand. And he then, six months later, fired the head of the CIA. So they were out to get him. And Bobby Kennedy was going after the mafia. The mafia.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
It was like an Agatha Christie novel. They pissed off everybody who's good at, like, killing you. The mafia, you know?
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
Well, I never have a good word for elite colleges, so tell me your story.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
Are you talking about like Neil deGrasse Tyson?
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
Oh, you mean because of gravity? Because of their gravity. Sure.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
Do you actually know, I'm not saying this facetiously, how electricity works?
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
But in general, do I think what he is saying as far as environmental toxins, that was the advice I gave him when he sat here because he had been known as an environmental lawyer his whole life. I said, you've got to connect these two things. You're known as a great environmentalist. You're just saying that the pollution, it's in our bodies from other things. It's not just what's in the air.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
We're talking about pressure. The entire universe. I've got one question. This would be a good movie. Well, let's see. I hate to be selfish, but how can I ensure, especially now that we have AI and now that I'm almost 70, how can we ensure that I don't die? That's really the question that is most honestly on my mind.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
I know what you're talking about. The helix.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
Well, now it looks like Terrence Howard is angry.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
How can I access this frequency with parts found around the home?
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
Well, I mean, I just... So I don't need anything special not to die?
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
It's in the air, too. It could be vaccines. Not every vaccine, but who knows, in combination with all the other things that are in our body, mercury and fungus and x-rays. How many x-rays have you had? Electromagnetic energy. 50,000 chemicals we didn't have 50 years ago.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
I do and I'm going to have to call you back on this. I play shoot hoops every day here and once in a while I go a little too hard and I tweak my ankle and But the first, I've done this before. I've been told that to walk barefoot on the earth is very beneficial.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
I'm sure you can answer that better than I can. But somehow, again, I'm just a layman here. You're connected. It makes sense on a very basic level.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
So why are you wearing those shoes if they're bad?
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
I don't think I'm getting a lot of earth here because we put cement here over the earth. It doesn't matter. What happened is I walked barefoot on the earth. Not a lot because I really find it gross. God knows what's in that ground and I have to look out for the dog shit. Anyway, but I did it because this is what I've been told. And I do think it made my ankle heal faster. I really do.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
Well, think about having... But I don't think that's anything too outrageous.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
We don't know what all these factors are, but when he says this is probably what's behind most of our health problems, that resonates with me. That's what's different about when I was a kid and the food was just, maybe it wasn't great, Wonder Bread, but most of it was just, it wasn't processed. It was not as polluted as it all is now. But it has to be polluted now. What do you mean?
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
Honestly, I can't see myself getting to the point where I don't know it's the tree. I mean, you must be... You don't know it's the what?
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
Five minutes, close your eyes. I feel like, I don't know, I feel like I'd always know it's the tree. And that would be the end of our relationship.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
No, it's not. If the 440 is making you tense, you know you can fix that? A 40.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
By the way, you are like this generation's Billy Dee Williams. I told you that once at a party. I said you should play his son in a movie. I was with Kid from Kid and Play. Do you remember that? Yeah. And I said, I don't know, we were both, we were high.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
And I'm like, damn, I met you and I don't even... And we both bum-ruffed you with this great idea that you should play Billy Dee Williams' son. But it was at the time a great idea. And Billy Dee Williams was here. And, you know, he's 80 and he's still fucking cool.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
That's a shame, because that is a much more interesting stuff.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
Yeah, but he's not dead. No, he's not. And Marvin Gaye is. And I'm sorry, but drama's drama. And there's a lot more drama in getting killed by your dad. Yeah, but the problem with... That's a story. I'm sorry. to be the studio head who says, but no, that's much more interesting. And Marvin Gaye was like, you would have been perfect as Marvin Gaye. And that is a story that needs to be told.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
No, never drop names. De Niro told me that.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
I just feel like there's a there's gay for real. And there's a point where guys get so much pussy. They're just like, oh, fuck it.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
Well, you mean you couldn't kiss a guy on screen in a movie? No. Not even, yeah.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
I couldn't kiss a man either. That's true. And that would fuck me.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
Well, I would not do that. But it does not make me homophobic to not want to kiss a man. Just like lots of gay men are like, pussy, yuck. I mean, that's okay. We all have our own... That's fine.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
Well, I can understand. I can understand it. I'm just not of it. I mean, I could certainly understand men attracted to men. I mean, homosexuality is in nature. You know, animals. There are animals. Many, many, many animals. Yeah, the bonobo. The bonobo monkeys.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
It can't be all of it if they still make it.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
Maybe the Bonobos are gay. Every once in a while, the Bonobo thinks he should try, like Elton John when he married that girl in 1989. You know, I mean, we all knew it wasn't going to work. But, you know, you got to give it a shot. Who knows?
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
Yeah, well, see, you know, that show is why you shouldn't ever quit acting because, like, once you've had, like, and you've had, you know, you're an Oscar nominee, but there are people who have been Oscar nominees and, you know, like, who are, can you, I mean, the Oscars were only, like, last month. Ask me now who was up for the awards. I couldn't tell you.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
So people forget that, but they don't forget, like, a show that had its moment as, like, the sort of it show. You know, Empire was sort of that kind of show, which was great, you know, because usually HBO gets that kind of show, White Lotus or something.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
We had 28 million viewers in the second year.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
So, look, I'm true blue HBO. They're my life, and I love them. But some stuff is, I think, no, I think you were in the right place. Go for a, went for a broader thing, get the bigger payday in eyeballs and in money, and become the water cooler show. You know, once you've had that, I'm telling you, you can, you will always be in demand in some way.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
capacity and if you think if you think you're you know canceled forever there's this guy i heard about this today mark halpern i remember i did a bit about him i don't know if i mentioned him by name in one of my shows like in 2018 one of my stand-up specials he was part of the first wave of the me too thing and his mo was around the office he'd rub his dick up against you
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
Do you know you're over there getting coffee?
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
Very poorly, I would have felt. But he didn't do it to me. But he did it to women around the office who were just trying to find the sweet and low. And then there's Mark Halpern's dick rubbing against your skirt. It's as grody as it can get. And yet... Somebody told me today, oh, you know, on his podcast or whatever, I'm like, this dude's back?
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
That goes triple for a guy who's rubbing his dick against you at the coffee station. It goes... And seven years later, so like...
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
I'm just saying, like, you're canceled until you're not. And, like, if they like you. And, like, this guy. Look, I'm not trying to, like, make this all about how terrible Mark Halpern is. I'm sure he's a nice guy. I had met him before that. He was on the show. But I do find what he did just as bad as it gets.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
But if he can make it back with no charisma, not like nobody like, oh boy, I can't wait to imagine myself with it. You can make it back a lot easier.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
Well, I hope you'll just at least tell me that you haven't told your agent not to at least pass on to you if you see something that's like really great for you and then you want to like go in and like you know I can't believe they wouldn't take a meeting with you to say you know what I read this part and I think I could fucking kill it and I'm the right guy for it because there are parts like that
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
that are there. I'm not saying it happens not often. There's not enough good material. We all know that. But when it does, I hope you jump at it and try to get it.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
My body's tired of me. No. That's the problem. I'm not tired of my body. My body, I'm trying to be friends with it.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
But you were born a movie star. I'm sorry, Precious, that this is complicating your life. But you are what you are. I don't know what about the science of it or the DNA or what happened, but some of us, we were just created to be something. You were meant to be that. I'm sorry, I'm meant to be this. I'm meant to be what I am.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
And I think you do yourself a disservice when you fight against that current because you're never going to beat back the boats there. It's just too strong, you know? I always say water rolls downhill.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
Like it, it's like, and usually when I say it, what it means is that, you know, I never got married because water rolls downhill. I know where it's going to roll with me and it's not going to roll toward there. And maybe at some point I'll be able to control that, but it does. And I feel like I, I'm happier when I, um, Live a moral life, but don't pretend I'm not who I am. And you're an actor.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
And it's fun. And you can't tell me that when you nail the close-up, it doesn't give you a kind of adrenaline rush. I mean, I was an actor for 10 years. I wasn't even, like, really... ever wound up that or was aiming to be that. I always kind of more wanted to be what I became, but that's what I did in the 1980s. And I got a rush from nailing the close-up. It's just like, it's a drug.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
But what about Richard Dreyfuss and... You, in that little battle.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
But does that diminish how you really feel about your mother? No.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
That's why I'm not that upset about being this age, because you're just so stupid when you're young. You do stupid shit. You do stupid shit. I've done stupid shit, too. I mean, I'm with the cause on this one. It just happens, and you just got to eat shit when you're young and on the bottom. I remember doing a TV movie in 1988 called...
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
Out of time, a direct rip-off of The Terminator, but we went right ahead. Two-hour, what they called, movie of the week. I was very excited. I was one of the co-stars. And I had an 8 a.m. call one day and stayed in my trailer until 3.30 and showed up on the set at 3.30 in the afternoon, which happens. Sometimes you never get caught. It does. Directors want all their colors on the palette.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
So I showed up, and not in a mean way, but just, you know, comic. I thought, and I showed up at 3.30 and said, okay, here I am, ready for my 8 a.m. call. At 3.30 in the afternoon. And the director was like, don't ever do that. You know, he was like, you're 28. You got a part in a major movie of the week on a major network.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
You know, if I want you here every day at 8 a.m., even if you're not on the call sheet, I'll do it. I mean, he didn't say all that, but like, I got it. Like, dumb. Just like when you're, before you get there, don't act like you got there. Okay, there's a song for you.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
Well, I mean, look, I cannot endorse or refute what you just said because I don't know anything about that. I do know, of course, when they make a vaccine, they do have to put something that will be the delivery system. It used to be, for sure...
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
Per heartbeat? I didn't know it was calculated that way. What do you mean per heartbeat?
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
Led Zeppelin was on the charts. I'm going to go with 100 per beat.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
Have you told this to Elon Musk and Nick Cannon? No, because they're doing the right thing.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
So the ones who are around 30, obviously, they're full-on adults. What do you argue about? Where are they like, Dad, that's old-thinking, Dad. They don't do that. They don't.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
You think she just was mad at you so she said you beat her?
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
Nobody knows what a guy is like. Yeah, but nobody knows what a guy is like when he's with a woman. I've seen it too many times, like people who I, you know, I won't go into specifics, but there's somebody who a lot of us in the comedy world work with, and we didn't know some of the very unsavory things he was doing. I'm just saying, no one knows you unless they know you in that way.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
People are very different with women, but, you know, unless there's, you know, I always say, if you're not in the room, You just don't pretend you know what happened. You just like one of the sides, and so you're just pretending that you know because you want to back that, but you don't know.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
But it doesn't sound like... I mean, I just don't think it's insurmountable as far as... America has a way of overreacting and going, oh, yeah, maybe we did kind of overreact to that one.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
Yeah. Do you think you have a chance to become extremely rich from what you're working on?
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
Is your day consumed with this? Do you work with a team?
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
What is the linchpin? Well... Uh-oh. This is how it started at the Diddy parties. Yeah, the guy reaches into a bag and the next thing you know, you've got somebody's dick up your butt. Can you believe some of the people who were at those parties? Justin Bieber.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
Wait, is it your integrity or is it your butt?
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
Well, look, to be clear, my man card has never expired.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
But I don't think my butt has anything to do with my man card. But okay. All right.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
And then what practical end does this give us? Like, where does this get us?
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
We could certainly predict where planets were going to be.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
Look, again, I can only speak on this. You seem to have read more in depth.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
I got a great, you asked me before, like, what question could I ask about the universe? I just thought of a great one. Last week, they discovered a planet that's 700 trillion miles away. which is like, I don't know.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
Well, it's 700 trillion. I don't know how many light years that is, but it was like 120. I don't know, whatever it is, it's a ridiculous number that we could never travel to with what we know now. Okay, so... The story was that this could be, or they said it was likely to be, a planet that had life because... Of its proximity to its star. No, no, no, no.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
I had the kids. Right, than I have. I just speak in general terms, and in general terms, I agree with that. I feel like... We are just marching toward this place where we accept more and more of this kind of environmental pollution. Even indoor pollution is a thing. People die of indoor pollution. It can be the formaldehyde in the fucking sofa.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
Because they detected in its atmosphere... Methane. Five different chemicals that are only present when life basically is breathing. Okay. I was very impressed. that they could detect this from 700 trillion miles away. So can you explain to me how they could detect what chemicals are in the atmosphere of something 700 trillion miles away? Because I don't know.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
Spectrometer, basically, we as humans see only 0.005% of the total light spectrum.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
Okay, very good. I'm just saying I could not have done it with things I've learned on YouTube. and somebody did it, and I think they should be applauded. I don't think they're getting enough love for being able to detect what chemicals were in the atmosphere of something 700 trillion miles away. I feel that guy should get laid more.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
You know what? With your plug, he will. No.

Oh, Legos wish. Legos wish. That should be your next. This is the fractal.

I still don't see how it affects my erection.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
Well, they allowed AI. I mean, you know, it's AI.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
Even before Trump, AI, nobody was stopping AI. And probably nobody will. They're just going to have a race to the bottom. And when I mean the bottom, I mean like where the money is. And fuck it if it's going to destroy major parts of humanity. They just don't care. when it was first proposed, AI, they all agreed. They kind of had a little truce. Well, this is just going to be a nonprofit.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
You know, we're... That didn't last. You know, you're right. It's always the money. The money. The money, yeah.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
Yeah, but if it can buy things that aren't fake, then it's not fake.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
It buys, you know... Or the oil that Puffy used. Money is freedom. When I was poor, I didn't have the freedom to never take a job. That's a great freedom. I have that freedom now. I have the freedom to eat what I wanted to eat because I was too poor. I had to eat in blimpies across the street. That's why I sued those companies. For money.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
The business has changed for the people watching this who are not in the show business. There was a time when agents were not involved in packaging and producing and production. And once that line got crossed, it did become a little weird.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
Do you really think they ever were? Do you think Louis B. Mayer kept his word or any of these motherfuckers back then? Do you think they kept their word? Yeah, they kept their word that Marilyn will blow me after lunch. I don't think anybody ever would.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
They're no different than any other business. We just sell something different. We sell dreams and entertainment and acting and other people sell widgets and other people sell fucking mufflers. And everybody, that's the beauty and the horror of capitalism is that it depends on human nature being what it is, which is greedy and selfish.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
And if you ever try to change that equation, which is what communism was, you will fail because human nature is greedy and selfish. And, you know, look at you. You've got like a million dollar parka on you. You don't want to be poor.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
shit that's the thing i want my money yeah i don't blame you show me the fucking money there's your boy cuba yeah so we can go away but i've got other shit to do all right but i love this man well i got other shit to do too now i could talk to you all night i really could i'd love getting a little wasted with you you are everything i thought you would be Please don't say this is the last time.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
All right. Well, I promise you, I will do a deep dive.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
That's a lot of fun. Thank you, man, for coming here and doing this. I really appreciate it.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
That was kind of beautiful. Good. A lot of people are going to take one to go.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
It's everything. It's also a known fact that when they come up with a drug— And it doesn't work on one thing or sometimes because it's like it works too well. In other words, it kills you. They don't throw it away exactly because that's bad money after good. OK, what they do is they repurpose it. Retroactive. They do that many times. You know, it doesn't didn't work on cancer.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
But we've got a whole stockroom of it. No, I'm sure it's not quite like that, but it is suspicious to me.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
I don't know. It could be nothing. I could be just wasting my time. Well, it's working. Look at you. Well, maybe that's what it is, the telomeres. But the telomeres, right, I mean, as I understand it, as a silly layman, is just, yes, the sort of like the frayed end of the cell. And, you know, of course, we keep replicating our cells.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
So if you could repair that end, the next time it replicated itself, it wouldn't come out like worse, because that's what aging is. We are all slightly worse. But we should, before we go on, I guess I ought to say, ivermectin does not cure cancer.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
The fact that it was demonized by the left It's one of the things that I would say I could come up with a larger list of things that, you know, when people are like, you know, why aren't you just all on our team? It's like, because your team does some shitty stuff too. Not nearly as much as the right, but you do some shitty stuff too.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
And pretending that ivermectin was somehow evil, it wasn't evil. It won the Nobel Prize in 2015. They say it's cured probably more people except penicillin. Okay. Like, was it crazy to think it could work on COVID? And look, the truth is probably in the middle somewhere, which is that for some people, yes. It probably has properties that mix. Because again, we're all individuals.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
This one size fits all medical treatment bugs me. So could it work for... Yeah, I've certainly heard from people anecdotally.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Terrence Howard | Club Random
When I'm feeling a cold, now this is not how I was when I was young and didn't know, but at a certain point I got hip to some of the more natural cures. And yeah, when I start to get a cold, I don't take Tamiflu and that stuff. pharmaceutical shit, oil of oregano.

The instinct to do it, the instinct to like have Gaza not be what it always has been.

No, I don't think workers is the main problem. The main problem is, as the budget office put out, there's, they said, between $236 and $521 billion. Billion. Right. And what is the source of that?

But traditionally, Israel has tried to make that happen for a very long time. It accepted the idea of a partition and a two-state solution, and the other side never did.

The Republicans thought they could catch the Democrats on that and they put it up to a vote. I don't remember what the exact vote was or what the bill was. They didn't get any. I think they got one. Like the Democratic politician did not take the bait on defund the police.

And yet the public, if you just ask the man on the street, probably thinks that a lot of Democratic politicians did sign on to that.

uh she's gone back on a lot of stuff you know she she says she she went more toward like oh no i shouldn't have said that as opposed to some comics who were like we've gotten too sensitive that would be me right yeah clearly uh yeah no i get that yeah and we have right and i'm right about that okay okay that's easy but you know all right but you know she everybody has their truth uh

I'm just saying. She thought about it and evolved on it. Even if we wouldn't do it today, do we have to go back and dig up the past and yell at ourselves? Here's the thing. Whatever it was back then, most people were okay with it. It wasn't mean-spirited. She got in trouble also once for a sketch she did, which was an anti-racist sketch. Mm-hmm.

Okay, but we sort of glossed over nuance at a certain point. And so, you know, I don't know if it was necessary to be like, I'm history's greatest monster because I did this. No, I thought I was doing the right thing. And at the time, usually nobody else said anything. So it was obvious that's where the country was. Anyway, she did a joke with some sort of Asian reference.

It's a very different world. We do on my show. I love doing that. And you're right, most shows don't do that. You don't see much debate on cable news.

It's like six people, and then after they all do whatever they're going to say, and usually I agree with those people, then Lonely Scott gets to talk. But I do like having an actual debate. I mean, this idea that they have some people that you shouldn't platform

That's always what was so, I mean, you said Seinfeld basically had the same reaction. Like, what am I doing here?

For compassion's sake, get them off the street. That's not the woke version. Their version is they're an endangered species. Don't touch them in their natural habitat living under a bridge. Let them defecate. Let them do whatever they want. It's their thing. And, you know, I mean, there should be nothing more basic than a government claiming the streets. The streets are for the citizens.

Build a barracks. I mean, why are these things? Maybe you can answer that. Why are these kind of things so difficult that you think it's such common sense? Build a barracks. I know homeless people say they don't want to live there. You don't have a choice. Oh, we'll get robbed there. Higher security, it's pennies on the dollar. Why is it so difficult?
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Bill Maher Interview — My Full Reaction
I feel like I, with no real knowledge of this field, could do it. If I had people who would carry out my, I would say, okay, get me specs. I want to see where a place we could build it. I want to see what the barracks looks like. I want to see who works there. Is it really in the toilets? Whatever.

Right, like when they get the whores off the street when the mayor is, like, doing one of those cleanup... Or like when the MLB All-Star Game goes to Seattle, all of a sudden it's America's cleanest city. Right, right. So you're saying if we can do it that one day.

The guy who they're trying, who they said, the MS-13 member. Well, there's no evidence that he's, they don't, they did not present evidence.

The Charlie Kirk Show
The Bill Maher Interview — My Full Reaction
None. OK. I mean, but I hope that if it comes to light, let me button it up this way. I hope that if it does come to light, that there really is no evidence that this guy was a gang member, that he got swept up, which is very understandable, that when you do a sweep, when you're doing big things, yes, nothing is going to go perfect.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Bill Maher Interview — My Full Reaction
But if it does come to light, I would hope that some Republicans... have the spine to say, yeah, that's not right. This guy should not be there. I mean, the Bill of Rights, it's pretty clear that you can't just disappear people without any sort of trial. Well, but sorry to interrupt. And deportation is not the same thing as sending someone to a prison.

Look, I've said that all this stuff I don't like about Trump, I did it in my piece the other week when I was talking about the meeting at the White House. No, he was tweeting about me. I've never liked anything. No, check the tape. There are things I like. And one thing I liked was that the police have their morale back maybe now. And...
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Bill Maher Interview — My Full Reaction
You know, when you live in a city, it's not a good thing when the police lose their morale because they feel like they've been painted with a broad brush, which they were. After 2020, you know, and they're like, OK, you know, and I've been very critical of the cops when I think they did bad things. But do I think that it's a racist, you know, attack squad? It's not. There's issues.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Bill Maher Interview — My Full Reaction
There's always issues in everything. And, you know, when you insult the cops, they have a way of kind of brooding about it. And it's just not a good place to be when you're a city dweller. And so, you know, I don't want to be killed by a gang member because they do random killings, you know, just as gang initiation so they can get the tear drop under their eye.

I got to tell you, you should see my movie, Religion.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Bill Maher Interview — My Full Reaction
Well, I mean, yeah. And it's funny because the director of Religious, Larry Charles, and I had dinner about a year ago and I suggested and of course it went nowhere because we're both too old to like really act on it. But I said, people keep asking me and I'm sure him also to do Religious too.

But they when they say it, they think we're going to oh, now we're going to go to India and make fun of the Hindus. I'm like, I'm not doing that. OK, I'm not going to India. And the Hindus aren't that funny. Okay, we did it. The movie did great, and we love that it stands the test of time, and people always keep coming up to me and seeing it. Movies are amazing that way.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Bill Maher Interview — My Full Reaction
And then that's what I was suggested. And I said, yeah, but then you're going to have to do the right side of it, too, because that's also a religion, Christian nationalism. I mean, come on, your boys, some of the people I think you're fond of, they mix religion and politics in a way that I think is not according to the Constitution.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Bill Maher Interview — My Full Reaction
But I have to tell you, I'll give you a lot of credit, I saw a video of yours where you were talking about, how Christy the original documents were, which is, you know, I mean, my view is that the founding fathers, we know a number of them were deists. Mostly that was their religion. But you did, and boy, you have your facts down. I mean, you can spiel when you get on a subject like this.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Bill Maher Interview — My Full Reaction
I got the shtick down. You really do. And I trust you. You know, I'm going by what you... But, you know, that... They were a little Christier than I thought, you know, and I'm always happy to learn new information.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Bill Maher Interview — My Full Reaction
And if it doesn't satisfy people that I don't stay exactly where I am, it satisfies the people who are actually my fans who always want me to do that, to be like, oh, if I take in new information. I mean, that's why, you know, the far left hates me because I went to the White House and said, well, privately, Trump's different. And good for you for saying that.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Bill Maher Interview — My Full Reaction
Yeah, and I didn't give an inch on anything I believe. I confronted him on things that I think, you know, he probably maybe never hears from anybody else. But that's not good enough for them because, you know, they had to. But no, if you take in new information, just tell me. And so I do think after listening to your spiel that, yes, they were a little more into Jesus than
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Bill Maher Interview — My Full Reaction
Then I thought, I mean, I know Jefferson wrote that Bible and took all the miracles out. He took all the religiosity out of it and just made him a moral philosopher. Now, you have to admit, that's not exactly the act of a Christy person.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Bill Maher Interview — My Full Reaction
Well, Jesus, as a philosopher, was a true revolutionary. I mean, when he said the meek shall inherit the earth, I think the response was... Blessed are the peacemakers, right? Yeah, but the idea that it gets good in the next life was fairly, I think, revolutionary. And the fact that, you know, if you're a good person in this life, there's a much greater... This is just the pregame.

That's a great question because it certainly can turn people either way. It can make you fly planes into a building. I'm not speaking of any specific example. I can't think of anything. I can't either. But it can make you do that. You'll admit that. Sure.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Bill Maher Interview — My Full Reaction
Yes. And it can also— I fully acknowledge. And I fully acknowledge that it also keeps millions of people in line. Like Mark Wahlberg. I'm guessing without Catholicism, he just looks like a guy who would be in a lot more trouble. But I think it just has made his life, you know, much more under control. So there's one. Mark Wahlberg, I think, really benefits from Catholicism.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Bill Maher Interview — My Full Reaction
But I think there's lots of people like that. They truly are worried that if they do something out of line, illegal or immoral, that the devil will, in short order after they die, be poking them in the ass with a pitchfork. And so they don't do that. And I got to give it up. That is a positive. But then the planes and the buildings thing.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Bill Maher Interview — My Full Reaction
You know what? It creeps up a little, but people always are going to want it. People always are going to want to believe a story. It's much better than the truth, which is that things are random. We don't know the big questions. We don't know how we got here. We don't know why we're here. We don't know how the universe started. We're alone in the universe. Is there a God?
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Bill Maher Interview — My Full Reaction
What is the nature of God? Which one is the right God? We just don't. Nobody knows. I mean, that's why they call it faith. Do you hope you're wrong? That's the most important question. That's a great question. Well, how... Do you hope there's a heaven? I hope they figure out how I can live forever. I like it here with you, Charlie, drinking this and smoking pot.

The Charlie Kirk Show
The Bill Maher Interview — My Full Reaction
And that's the Christian argument. And some of it is, you know, we obviously can see it comes from no bad deed done. You know, children with cancer. Of course. And then they say, well, that's, you know, God works in mysterious ways, which is sort of a get out of jail card argument. It's the hardest. For any kind of non-thinking.

We don't. have to explain it either because it's not explainable, because we don't know. We say we don't know. That's honest. You say, no, somebody told a story a long time ago, and we're going to stick with that.

The Charlie Kirk Show
The Bill Maher Interview — My Full Reaction
Well, that we don't know. That is not a definitive. It really is not. And I'll tell you why. And I'm sure you know this. The Gospels are written from... 70 AD to 120 AD.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Bill Maher Interview — My Full Reaction
No, they're from 40 to 70 years after Jesus. The earliest one is Mark, and that's the one, 70 AD. It's the destruction of the temple. That's why it's the bleakest one. It's the one that ends with, Father, why have thou forsaken me? Okay, so we see that history does... involve itself in what's going on. You kind of have to read between the lines. But here's the question I've asked before here.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Bill Maher Interview — My Full Reaction
How come the gospels, we know everything in the New Testament is either the gospels or St. Paul. Or the book of Acts, which is written by Luke. Yeah. Right, okay.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Bill Maher Interview — My Full Reaction
Okay. Go ahead, yeah. But Paul lives in the 50s. He's much closer to Jesus' time. And he knows much less about Jesus. He really doesn't even imagine him as a figure that lived on earth. He's more like a God from heaven. What do you mean by that? I mean, that's in St. Paul. No, he talks about the literal ministry of Christ. He does.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Bill Maher Interview — My Full Reaction
He certainly doesn't, okay, you'd have to show me that because my recollection, and this is from a course in college, is that he was not, that we know very little from St. Paul about Jesus, and he understands Jesus very well, whereas the Gospels written later, they have a lot of information about this guy. And of course, they also penciled in the crucifixion like 300 years later.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Bill Maher Interview — My Full Reaction
I mean, the Bible was edited. And the Bible itself is an anthology of books. There's the Dead Sea Scrolls. There were books that didn't make it into the final cut.
The Charlie Kirk Show

Of course, it was wedged between the two giant Israeli bodyguards the whole way. If you want security, the Israelis know what they're doing. Exactly. Exactly. So it was not the vacation I planned.

You didn't have to fake it. I mean, you do realize that there were religions going around the Mediterranean for a thousand years. where the gods had the same biography or significant parts of the biography of Jesus. It's in religious. We put them all. Gods who were born on December 25th, and I could go into the reason for that. Gods who had disciples. Gods who were crucified on some sort of tree.
The Charlie Kirk Show

That had virgin births. Had virgin births.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Bill Maher Interview — My Full Reaction
Okay, but no, these were all sorts of religions around the Mediterranean, not just the Judeo-Christian. These are the Persian religions. This was Indian, and that's a very common part of it, is died and came back to life. Obviously something primitive man would have thought about all over the world.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Bill Maher Interview — My Full Reaction
The fact that they put this into this new religion, which is something that the people of the time would have been familiar with, these concepts. Again, that's why they made his birthday December 25th, because that was already a huge pagan holiday.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Bill Maher Interview — My Full Reaction
Oh, yes. I mean, and they just the way within a religion, they hate their own apostates more. I would say they hate me more because I'm supposed to get on the short bus to crazy town with them.

You know, you're saying to me, is there never a case of human delusion or mass delusion? There are suicide cults, of course. I acknowledge that. I'm going to answer your question. Do you remember the Hale... Comet cult, Heaven's Gate cult. No, I mean, I know Jonestown cult. That's different.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Bill Maher Interview — My Full Reaction
This was like 1997, and they believed, there was this bunch of people in San Diego, and they believed that when the Hale-Bopp comet passed at a certain place, that the spaceship passed. was going to pick them up, but they're souls. They had to be dead. And they committed mass suicide neatly.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Bill Maher Interview — My Full Reaction
They were living normal lives, going to jobs, saying, I'm sorry, you're going to have to change gates for your flight. And then they went home and put on purple shrouds and Nikes. That I do know of, yes. And mass suicide killed themselves. And you're asking me about could humans believe something that wasn't true? Yes, they could. It doesn't take a hell of a lot.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Bill Maher Interview — My Full Reaction
People want to believe, and it's a very enticing thought, that this life, which possibly isn't that good, Great. If I just give up this one, which is not that much, I can get this awesome one.

The movie is me saying, I don't know how it could be that so many intelligent people can wall off a part of their mind and believe in something that part of their mind must know is not true. That's the question I'm going for in religion. And like you're obviously a super smart guy. Well, and respectfully, you go. And again, I don't want to insult you on that.

You cannot believe an emergent birth?
The Charlie Kirk Show

You're saying because I don't know the answer, I'm going to assume the answer must be that a divine intervention did it. That's not really a scientific way of looking at it.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Bill Maher Interview — My Full Reaction
You're saying some prime mover made it so these things happen. I would say if a prime mover could do that, skip all the suffering, and why don't you just get us to where we're the perfect thing, why you need things, I don't know, but OK, the perfect being right away.

We're somehow on this journey to being, you know, completely immortal and healthy, I guess, and completely moral and don't each other up and don't have sex with children and all the bad things we do. All the evil of our world. Yeah, all the evil and the Holocaust. And why go through all that if you are a prime mover?
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Bill Maher Interview — My Full Reaction
I assume that means you can do anything and just get us right to the end and then we can just... What? Why? Just a bunch of us walking around being perfect? I mean, why is that interesting to a god? You know, the whole thing just don't make sense.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Bill Maher Interview — My Full Reaction
Do you agree with that? Yeah, but that's not the beginning of things. That's just the beginning of what the known universe is. The big question is, what was before that? And we believe it's a being, a God, that's always, that's a constant. And look, I mean, you know, the mis... nomer about atheism is that we say, oh, there's no God. No, we just say we don't know.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Bill Maher Interview — My Full Reaction
As Richard Dawkins always says, there's theism, which is belief in gods, and they used to believe in many, and then it got to one, and we just believe in one less. So there's just not... How would you differentiate that from agnosticism?
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Bill Maher Interview — My Full Reaction
No, I think a lot of atheists think that. A lot of people on my team with this, they have that view that, you know, don't split hairs with the atheists and the agnostics. It's like we're on some part of, I don't know, and I'll never know, so I really don't think about it a lot. I don't get up for church.

I have a problem with eight of the ten, because only two of them are laws. You've got a problem with eight of the ten? Two of them are laws. Only two. What do you mean? Don't kill. And don't steal. Okay. And don't steal. Sure. Like... I mean, this idea that God is this.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Bill Maher Interview — My Full Reaction
Like the first four are just jealous God. It's just like, you know what? No, honoring your parents is not jealous God stuff. God's like a pimp who's in the next room and he's like, who are you on the phone with there, girl? You know, I mean, I guess I'm testing them.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Bill Maher Interview — My Full Reaction
Well, I feel like there's... Liberal and woke are two completely different things. It was a theme of my last stand-up special that I just did a few months ago. And it's basically... I mean, it wasn't the whole special, of course, but it was a large part of it devoted to that, to proving that case, that, you know... What liberals believe, woke is something completely different.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Bill Maher Interview — My Full Reaction
You don't mean like honoring the Sabbath? Oh, a week is even better.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Bill Maher Interview — My Full Reaction
But why would you need a religion to get to that? Why would you need a religion to, hey, let's not kill each other and take a day off? Again, I don't need a threat or a carrot for that. It's just so intrinsic. It sort of reminds me of the beginning of the Deccan. Declaration of Independence.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Bill Maher Interview — My Full Reaction
Well, no. I did a monologue in Religious. They might have Confucianism underlying it. I did a monologue in Religious about that very subject, which is the people who say, oh, Bill, these atheistic societies like North Korea. And no, no. Those kind of societies, they just replaced the leader of the country for a god. They are not atheistic.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Bill Maher Interview — My Full Reaction
When you look at what the North Korean people believe about Kim Jong-un. It's a deification. It's a deification. I completely agree. When he was born, winter turned to spring. He'll be immortal in the heavens. The first time he played golf, he got 11 holes in one. He invented the hamburger.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Bill Maher Interview — My Full Reaction
It is. It really is. I'm not making this up, but they believe that. So don't tell me North Korea is atheistic. They're not atheistic.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Bill Maher Interview — My Full Reaction
As there was in Syria. Sure. And most of the Islamic countries that, you know, I mean, we hear a lot about.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Bill Maher Interview — My Full Reaction
I'm not kidding. So not loving your neighbor and not like, you know, helping them. No, no. There's a lot of good stuff there. Okay, but again.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Bill Maher Interview — My Full Reaction
Well, that's a charitable way of looking at it, and that's in there. There's a lot of things in there because it's a giant anthology over centuries of many different writers.

The Charlie Kirk Show

It's very often the opposite of it. You know, liberalism is let's live in a colorblind society. That's the goal. Woke's goal is we see race everywhere.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Bill Maher Interview — My Full Reaction
I agree with the first part of that. Humanity will seek to find.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Bill Maher Interview — My Full Reaction
Well, seek to find something that mollifies their feelings. That's different than knowing. No, they don't really care about knowing. They care about mollifying their feelings. I feel empty. What will make me feel better? This book that purports to have answers, it couldn't possibly have.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Bill Maher Interview — My Full Reaction
But it does make me feel better because now I don't have to wonder about things that are very problematic to worry about, like how did I get here and what does it all mean and why do kids get cancer when they're two for no reason?
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Bill Maher Interview — My Full Reaction
I know. I'm just saying. And I acknowledge that. But this book has the answers to that question. Don't ask, okay? Don't ask, A, and B, God works in mysterious ways, and that's the end of it. Go to your room.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Bill Maher Interview — My Full Reaction
I don't got it for you. We don't have it. And we don't claim to have it. But that's a big problem, though.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Bill Maher Interview — My Full Reaction
Yes. Okay. So that's not... Liberal, you change. Liberal is they're a two-state solution. Woke is river to the sea, okay? So just don't take my word and say you're that. You took this and took it to you got off the F train, you fell asleep, and you got off the 20 stops too far, and don't blame me for that.

You know who Eugene O'Neill is? No? Eugene O'Neill? No. Oh, wow. Kids today. A giant of American literature, theater, A Long Day's Journey Into Night. Have you heard of that play?

The Bill Maher Interview — My Full Reaction
Anyway, he once said, I find a life with illusions unpardonable and a life without illusions unbearable. And that's the essence of where we are. You choose the second. I choose the first. I find a life with illusions unpardonable. I just can't do it. Okay? And you find a life without illusions unbearable. And...
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Bill Maher Interview — My Full Reaction
The fact that we can, I think, come to this moment where we go, okay, that's you, type A. I'm type B. And still be friends. To me, this is the future of where this country has to go. And nothing you have said has offended me in this light. And I appreciate that. Because, again, that was my question in Religious. How can otherwise really super smart people... But this is the answer. Like, and...
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Bill Maher Interview — My Full Reaction
Okay, but was he like getting, did he jump in the car with you at the drive-thru? No, but... Okay. You said a religious experience. I have to ask how much that is.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Bill Maher Interview — My Full Reaction
To their credit. No, but you said you were in a Christian school. Okay, you're 10. You're in a Christian school. There's no connection of like maybe at a very early age they put a chip in your brain?
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Bill Maher Interview — My Full Reaction
Didn't stick. I had the opposite reaction to catechism, which was the religious training we would go to on Sunday morning where you would learn how to be a good Catholic. And it just really turned me off. Was it too forceful, too legalistic, like all of it? It was just a giant, I mean, I was used to a room with 20 kids in it at regular school.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Bill Maher Interview — My Full Reaction
And then on Sunday, there's like 60 kids and they're from different schools. And they're just like, and the nuns were like mean because you got 60 kids and you don't really know you have to like, and of course they're mean to begin with, to like get them in order. And they scared you and they yelled at you and they hit you with a ruler on the knuckles.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Bill Maher Interview — My Full Reaction
I really, I'm from that era where they still like,
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Bill Maher Interview — My Full Reaction
It just wasn't a way to get me into the tent. You know what I mean? So I don't know. You know, maybe on my deathbed. The Catholic will come back because I've heard people say like once they drill that in to your mind, I mean, to this day, if I walk into a church and I have no reason to, but we did for religious, there is a certain weird feeling.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Bill Maher Interview — My Full Reaction
I mean, you can't be that young and that malleable in the mind and not have some things just resonate forever. What do you feel? fear. I just feel fear. When I walked into the church that I went to as a kid to film that scene in Religious with my mother and ask her why she never told me until I was 13 that she was Jewish, and that's why she wasn't going to church with us.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Bill Maher Interview — My Full Reaction
Yeah, I felt fear because it just comes back to you. Like when I was sitting in those pews, like that's what I felt was fear. Like either the nuns or the priest or my father, somebody was going to be mad at me for something. because that's how Catholicism is. I mean, that's the, again, the idea that you keep people in line. It's by fear. That's why you're keeping people in line.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Bill Maher Interview — My Full Reaction
And that's a question an atheist really, I think, is due to ask a religious person. Do you really think fear is the best way for us to grow and become good people? Because if that's how we're doing it, I do have a problem with the methodology, even if I believed in the religion.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Bill Maher Interview — My Full Reaction
I'm sorry. No, you're right. I didn't mean to, you know, did I do an exorcism or something? Trust me, we have a whole highlight reel of spit takes. It's the highlight of any show. If the guest doesn't make me do a spit take, we consider this a failure. But you did, so go on. But yes, Catholics, yes, that's exactly who you would hear that from.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Bill Maher Interview — My Full Reaction
You believe in the garden? You believe in the Old Testament? Oh, yeah. I'm one of those Christians. Like 6,000 years old thing? Not necessarily. Because in religious, I went to see the museum that they have. Oh, yeah, Ken Ham's deal. Ken Ham, yes, and we interviewed Ken. He was not happy.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Bill Maher Interview — My Full Reaction
No, no, it was. That's impressive. And Jesus riding the dinosaur. Yeah, I don't know about that. Jesus riding the dinosaur. Do I really need to elaborate, people?
The Charlie Kirk Show

I got to say, it's really picking up the check for the whole table. You know, I mean, you got to you got to give it to your boy for like all of our sins. It's a very generous.

The book of Deuteronomy? Well, there's some good stuff in there.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Bill Maher Interview — My Full Reaction
Yeah, also like no poking in the wrong hole. You're going to have to ask a rabbinic Jew about that. Well, I think it's Deuteronomy. That's Leviticus. Do not lie with another man. Right. Yeah, that's Leviticus 19. No, and that is wrong. Thou shall not lie with another man. Do not lie to another man. Because if you lie to a gay man, ooh, you are going to pay for it.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Bill Maher Interview — My Full Reaction
But lie with another man, that should be everybody's right, don't you think?
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Bill Maher Interview — My Full Reaction
No, we need to get a little deeper into this because it's so important just to understand that
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Bill Maher Interview — My Full Reaction
Well, let me ask you what you believe. I believe that some people, a decided minority, maybe one out of 20, probably, for whatever reason that nature, this perfect nature that you described as perfect. Well, it was designed perfect.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Bill Maher Interview — My Full Reaction
Right, okay. If they hadn't eaten the apple.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Bill Maher Interview — My Full Reaction
Vero could have been a mango. Well, you know.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Bill Maher Interview — My Full Reaction
Okay. As they say in West Hollywood, there's nothing like having a mango in your mouth. It's George Costanza's favorite fruit, but yes. But, oh, damn, man, what was the point of this?
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Bill Maher Interview — My Full Reaction
Yes, homosexuality. As we're keeping it on the lighter topics. Thank you. So about 1 out of 20 people, maybe even 1 out of 10, I don't know. And then people will say there's a spectrum. Maybe there's a 2. Of course, there is. Some people are like, you know, what the kids call zesty. you know, not gay, but kind of on the waiting list. Okay.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Bill Maher Interview — My Full Reaction
But let's say just gay, like people who are just not attracted to the opposite sex. They're attracted and want to have sex with people of their own sex. Would you agree that that happens in nature?
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Bill Maher Interview — My Full Reaction
And we are in the animal kingdom. In fact, we're number one with a bullet. OK, so given that we both agree that that's a phenomenon that exists.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Bill Maher Interview — My Full Reaction
But what's immoral about I don't understand why the a** in itself, ipso facto, is immoral. It's just an a**. And the fact that some people want to f**k in there, I've done a million jokes about it. I don't get that. I mean, it's where the a** comes out. I just don't get it. If even I was gay, I'd find another way. But that's just me. But they do want to do it.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Bill Maher Interview — My Full Reaction
Why is there a moral dimension to this?
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Bill Maher Interview — My Full Reaction
Okay, because the Bible says it. Yeah, I do. You're correct. But you do know, like, the, you know, argument from people like me, that kind of logical argument is that, well, these books were really not written by a God. They were written by men, and it reflected... Well, of course they were transcribed by men, obviously.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Bill Maher Interview — My Full Reaction
It reflected the primitive views of people in that era who would, of course, have had primitive views. They also didn't understand germs or atoms anymore. So their views on this were primitive, and they believed that there was something wrong with that, that I get it, that it was different than most of the people in the tribe, that these two guys are going off and doing it.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Bill Maher Interview — My Full Reaction
But that we can, as sentient beings now, logical, intellectual beings, recognize that this was from a long time ago, and now it's just something that happens in nature, that some people want to this way and some people want it this way. And there's no moral dimension to it and no reason to just call it a sin.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Bill Maher Interview — My Full Reaction
I think the phrase you're searching for is save your breath. This is what we believe, and I get it. It's doctrine. So, wait, coveting? Now, coveting is one you can't control.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Bill Maher Interview — My Full Reaction
Oh, stop it. You can control coveting. It's like saying you can control, if I say don't ever think of a pink elephant, you will think of a pink elephant.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Bill Maher Interview — My Full Reaction
No, oh, no, no. That's coveting? I thought coveting was just wanting something you don't have. Of course, you can't regulate every thought that you have.
The Charlie Kirk Show

The Charlie Kirk Show

The Charlie Kirk Show
The Bill Maher Interview — My Full Reaction
Because it is male nature to... No, I think it's actually easier to be a female in that way. I completely agree. Right. I covet being a female.

You lost Gavin Newsom on this. Okay? Take that as a hint, right? I mean, you were, I think you were on. I was the one that asked the question. Right. Yeah. And he said issue of fairness, all that. Well, that's what I started to say when you sat down. You're everywhere now. You're Gavin, everybody's podcast. And, you know, look, I always say this. Everybody's a monster till you talk to them.
The Charlie Kirk Show

Not to say that there aren't some people who probably are monsters, but I've yet to find the horror show that is you. Keep looking, Bill. No, I want to. You've got to keep going. I do. I want to. You've got to dig deeper. Cut me some slack, because we're friends now, right? We really are. Absolutely. OK. So just cut to the chase. What is it that the 10% who hate me
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Bill Maher Interview — My Full Reaction
the ISIS fighters who hate the apostates in Islam more than they do, you know, they hate Shiites more than, okay, tell me what they are wanting me to do. To press you on that, what is the thing that presses their buttons the most about why your incorrigibles did it? I don't even think you would agree with their accusations.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Bill Maher Interview — My Full Reaction
Well, you know, this is another one where the woke hates me. I mean, I did a whole thing on how I think, and we do disagree on this, by the way, because I do think there is such a thing as being born in the wrong body. Fair enough.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Bill Maher Interview — My Full Reaction
But I said what's going on in the country is what I would call entrapment, because entrapment by legal means is when you suggest to people something they really wouldn't have done anyway. And I use the example of the Liberty Seven, the seven African-American gentlemen in Miami. who were planning to blow up the Sears Tower. They were not.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Bill Maher Interview — My Full Reaction
The FBI came in to seven people who probably had good reason to be discontented with America and said, wouldn't it be great if we blew up the Sears Tower in Chicago for Allah? And they were like, yeah. And they didn't even have a gun. That's entrapment.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Bill Maher Interview — My Full Reaction
Anyway, for the record, I'm not acknowledging that I agree with that because I don't know if in the comments you guys can agree or disagree. I'm just acknowledging that I respect Charlie Kirk enough to look into whether that is. And it could be true because I say it all the time. I don't believe anybody. Like, you just lost my trust, all media, right, left, very few people.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Bill Maher Interview — My Full Reaction
I'm right there with you. Do I have, like, okay, I hear what you're saying. Now I have to go vet it.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Bill Maher Interview — My Full Reaction
Yes. I said not a crazy, but a person who acts crazy on the public stage. Those are two different things, though. I know, but that's what matters. I also said it doesn't matter. What he does in a private dinner with a comedian, what matters is who he's on the world stage. What bothers me about the critiques I get is that they don't acknowledge the points I myself made.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Bill Maher Interview — My Full Reaction
I just took it as a positive. And I said this. I took it as a positive that at least there is this other person. that I see that is undeniable. And again, for all the people who, we're losing truth. Yes, I was one of the first to say that. We are losing truth. Okay, but I told you the truth. That's all I did. I went there and I told the truth of what happened. And good for you.

The Charlie Kirk Show
The Bill Maher Interview — My Full Reaction
And listening. And again, the reason why I was the perfect choice for this was because nobody had been harder on him. So it was a real Nixon to China thing.

The Charlie Kirk Show
The Bill Maher Interview — My Full Reaction
Sometimes he does. Sometimes he does. I gave that whole list. I also gave the list of things that are horrible, disappearing people and ignoring judges and gutting the government with glee, this tariff thing that even the conservative press has turned off on. So, yeah, it was just honest down the line on both sides. I just told you what I saw. And good for you.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Bill Maher Interview — My Full Reaction
And didn't... And I just told this to Harvey Levin on his show. I'm proud. I looked him in the eye and said, you're scaring people. I'm proud I looked him in the eye and said... How did he react to that? I know, but see, that's the thing. I said that the night I gave it, I said... You're scaring people. Why do you want to scare your own citizens so much?
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Bill Maher Interview — My Full Reaction
And I know everybody wants to know what he said. And the truth is, I don't remember. But it wasn't... What kind of drugs were you guys doing that night? But it wasn't, okay, I'll stop. Okay. Then you would have remembered. That I would have remembered. So I have no illusions that, you know, my dinner with Donald Trump is going to change the nation. But to the haters, it's just like...
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Bill Maher Interview — My Full Reaction
as opposed to what not engaging at all that's that is that is there it's either me or gretchen whitmer with the with the binders in front of her face i mean i feel like i did it better i went in there i didn't give one inch on what i believe or or saying to his face what i believe uh But, you know, I told the truth about how he's different in private.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Bill Maher Interview — My Full Reaction
It definitely didn't hurt my brain.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Bill Maher Interview — My Full Reaction
Why do you think Biden or Obama wouldn't do that and Trump did? I mentioned that too in the thing. I said, you know what? You did. I said, you know, because look, this was kind of a guy's dinner. And look, Donald Trump is a man of a certain age, of a certain way of life. I just think he's comfortable with the guys. And I also think he loves his wife more than his let on.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Bill Maher Interview — My Full Reaction
But like he just likes being with the guys. And it was a guy's dinner. We just had a good guy's time. And so like I said it like I voted for Obama. I voted for Clinton. But the idea that I could talk to them as freely as I felt this conversation was going. is emblematic to me of why the Democrats lose the elections, because they just don't feel that this is like a real person.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Bill Maher Interview — My Full Reaction
And I know it's so weird to say that about Donald Trump, who I've said a jillion times is, you know, a whiny little bitch. I mean, I could go through my greatest hits of like insults, but this was about getting past that. And maybe seeing that if we met in person, we don't hate each other as much, and we don't. And I'm sorry, I'm not going to pretend that's a bad thing.

I don't know the answer. Oh, you'll be fascinated by this because, you know, I'm not married, so I go out. So sometimes I'm out with, like, people who are— a great deal younger than me. I don't know how they get in my group, but they do. And so I've been to sometimes parties like the Hollywood parties.

Yeah. I don't know who Eugene O'Neill is, but. Well, that's not history. That's the arts. And that's the 20th century. But, yes, I'm happy to fill the gaps in your knowledge. Thank you. That's a big one. Eugene O'Neill's big. I would not like that. No, no, no. He's not like this small guy. But, okay, so The Iceman Cometh, another big one. But Iceman, you can see it's not recent.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Bill Maher Interview — My Full Reaction
You never did? No. Even as a kid? No. But what—see, just the—this is like sort of my version of the religion thing. Like, maybe you're missing out on the big picture the way I am with Christianity. Maybe—except I've already been exposed to Christianity, and you've never been exposed to Rastafarianism or whatever my religion is.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Bill Maher Interview — My Full Reaction
But you could—I mean, don't you—don't you— think that it would be a great thing to see corners of your mind that you have never looked into. Tell me more. What do you mean by that? It's not a game. I want to like... No, I will tell you. I'm happy to tell you. I'll put it this way. I've mentioned this before with potheads, I think, on my show, that when I have an important decision to make...
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Bill Maher Interview — My Full Reaction
I treat my mind the way Congress is designed, a bicameral institution. I will think about it sober, and I will think about it stoned. And then if they agree... They can reconcile and present a bill, and I will sign it.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Bill Maher Interview — My Full Reaction
But they both have to agree on this, because I just have a different perspective when I'm stoned. And it's very often sharper and more insightful and better. You know, I mean, just editing, I know. Like... just writing in general, but I mean, I don't do all my writing stoned, but like the final edit, it's like, oh yeah, you're right. That should go.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Bill Maher Interview — My Full Reaction
Like things I did not see sober, I will see stoned. And, you know, you might get stoned and be like, oh Jesus, what? Are we kidding? Back from the dead? No, I'm kidding. So Sunday's Easter, what are you going to do? It must be a big day. He is risen. He is risen indeed, Bill.
The Charlie Kirk Show

And this is probably not most of America exactly this way, but I wouldn't be surprised if it's that different. And first of all, in this town, it's all run by like the Nepo babies, the Nepo babies, the trust fund kids, all these little funny two-year-old. The J.B. Pritzker types. Well, I'm kidding. No, no, I'm sure. I know who you mean, the governor of Illinois.

I'm just always fascinated the way really, really fine intellectual minds think. employ themselves for the purpose of arguing things that are so inarguable. But it does fascinate you, though. It does, because it's almost like a challenge. Like, I'm so smart that I can make this thing, which is so It's stupid. It's not stupid. No, no, it's fine. No, but you get where I'm coming from.

So why the... If there's this other truth that's beyond this metaphysical truth, why... so many different versions of it that only seem to cause wars. You know, Protestants and Catholics.

The Charlie Kirk Show
The Bill Maher Interview — My Full Reaction
Like, okay, so Columbus, 1492, lands on America. And we don't really then have the first version colony until 1607, Jamestown. So somebody said to me, what happened in that century? You know what happened in that century? Martin Luther. at the beginning of that century, said there's an alternative to Catholicism. There was 95 theses that were... Nailed on the door of Wittenberg in 1517.

And for the next hundred years, they just fucking killed each other all over Europe about who was right about that. And that's why it took a century after Columbus landed to go back, because they were preoccupied with killing each other over whether... The Pope in Rome was the devil. Or is the Eucharist the little body of Christ?

I mean, did his foreskin ascend to heaven with him or was that left here because he was a Jew? I mean, there was just a lot of silly questions. There was a lot of debates. Arianism, remember that?
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Bill Maher Interview — My Full Reaction
I find the first few centuries of Christianity the most, Fascinating. Yeah, why? Well, because they were deciding on it. Yeah. I mean, Christianity, for you non-history majors, Christ dies in 33, of course. And then it wasn't until three centuries later. Council of Nicaea. Well, that's even later. But the 330, I think, or maybe that was when the Emperor Constantine declared.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Bill Maher Interview — My Full Reaction
We invented Nepo baby out here. But yes, it's everywhere now, even on the Lakers.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Bill Maher Interview — My Full Reaction
Right. OK. So that's when Christianity becomes the official religion of the Roman Empire. So it took 300 years. And that's when the Nicene Creed was created. Right. And in those 300 years. There were a ton of debates. First, it was like, you know, Christianity was just persecuted. It was surviving the first hundred years. The blood of the martyrs is the seed of the church.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Bill Maher Interview — My Full Reaction
It was said by Tertullian in 202. So that's 200 years into it, and they were still martyrs. They were fed to the lions. And then slowly it catches on. The idea that it gets good in the afterlife was very attractive to an empire that was like a lot of slaves. Yeah. If you're a slave, this is a good deal. And so finally in 330, it becomes the official religion.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Bill Maher Interview — My Full Reaction
And then you have the church fathers, Ambrose. Augustine of Hippo. Augustine, right. And Jerome. And Augustine is writing in like 430, I think. City of God. Yes. He's writing in the city of Hippo. Which is Libya now. Is in Libya now. Right. Correct. And...

Well, okay, I don't want LeBron mad at me like he is at my friend Stephen A. But, I mean, that is, you know. But the point is that when you go out to these, I've been to these parties where, like, it's a bunch of 22-year-old kids, and none of them are smoking pot. Why? Why? They're on real drugs. Pot's so like my generation. It's like I couldn't find pot at one of these parties.
The Charlie Kirk Show

You know, just the way they, I don't want to call them exactly press agents, but kind of the way they formed the idea of the church in those early centuries. You know, it was something that needed.

Yeah, I guess if you believe... There's an old saying in comedy, by the premise, by the bit. If you believe the premise that he's God and all the... Then you care whether the foreskin went with him or not.

eventually decided upon which we believe to be in religious i went to a holy land and they have the jesus there because they reenact the whole crucifixion and so i interviewed jesus and you know i hit him with that about like you know it's supposed to be very proud they're very proud that they're monotheistic you know like the pagan people they have many gods these fucking heathens these savages the river the sun yes from the corn the dirt right

The Charlie Kirk Show

Well, I mean, I do remember that period in my life when there was the fear. And then as I got older, you know, look, I was still saying there was, I was not an atheist until I was, like, 40. Like, I wasn't religious. I thought that was bullshit. But I wasn't saying I was an atheist. I just didn't think much about it at all. I do remember...

Like in my 20s, like, you know, you'd do that thing where you're in some sort of bad shape and you'd go, please, God, if you just... Petitionary prayer. Don't make me... I feel like this cocaine is going to make me die. If you save me, I promise I'll never do it again. Your prayer was answered. What? Your prayer was answered. My prayer wasn't answered. I just didn't do that much cocaine.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Bill Maher Interview — My Full Reaction
It felt like I was dying, but I wasn't. There was a logical explanation, Charlie. Just saying you're one for one on prayers being answered. I mean, I don't think that was the only time. I know. I'm kidding. Being lighthearted. All right.

The Charlie Kirk Show

No, and I am... You know, part of the joy of doing that, because it's such an easy target and they're so terrible and they combine bad ideas with a bad attitude. So when I see somebody, as I've seen so many videos of yours, where you're just taking them down and you do it like Edward R. Murrow, I mean, you just destroy them. If I agree with you on the premise, it is a pure joy to watch that.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Bill Maher Interview — My Full Reaction
Yeah, it is. And, you know, I know you don't think you're doing a giant service for the Democratic Party, but you are. Because until we get rid of that, they're never going to win another election. I agree. They're not going to take political advice from me. No, but they might from me. They could. And they should. Not the 10%. But that's 10%.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Bill Maher Interview — My Full Reaction
I mean, that was the good news about this Trump dinner thing. Like, the people who hated me before, it didn't go up. I looked into it. It's the same 10%. But they're very loud. They're very loud. But that's it. And, you know, as FDR once said, I welcome their hatred. Because they're just, first of all, they have no integrity whatsoever. They don't ever present the full argument.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Bill Maher Interview — My Full Reaction
They just cherry pick. I mean, everybody does it, everybody. So I'm not saying I'm unique here. But that is part of the problem of our discourse, is that everybody just wants to forward their narrative. No one is really interested in the full truth, just the truth. Just give me the truth. And that's the crowd I'm going for.
The Charlie Kirk Show

Okay, you're going to have to stay a little more because I want to ask you about this because now you got me on colleges. And, you know, that's been one of my big... No, no, we got to talk. That's been one of my big targets. Big time. I mean, it was in my book. It was in my special. I called them the mouth of the river from which all the nonsense flows. It is a Wuhan laboratory.
The Charlie Kirk Show

I did. I said, if ignorance is a disease, Harvard Yard is the Wuhan wet market. That was my joke. I got... Now we can say Wuhan lab, but yeah, that's right. Okay. And... Trump's going after the colleges now, which I fully support. Yeah, but as always with his, it's like, it's not exactly legal the way he's doing it. You know, it's coercive. It's, I get that. I am behind the feeling of it.
The Charlie Kirk Show

I'm not sure this is the way to do it, but the feeling of it, yes, they have become places where, And this is, again, one of your big bailiwicks. This is one of the places you really got to. I think this has helped you get where you are.
The Charlie Kirk Show

They have become places that are two things, not really interested in teaching, just getting a point of view on the world into the kids' heads, which is not the way it was when I went to college. and also just very anti-Western civilization. Completely. And this is Western civilization. And you live in Western civilization. You're soaking in it. You're enjoying it. Yes.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Bill Maher Interview — My Full Reaction
All the things that make your life and especially the life of minorities and oppressed people better come from Western civilization. Rule of law. Scientific inquiry, freedom of speech, democracy, all the things, women's rights, gay rights. All of it. All of it is Western civilization. And.

taxpayer dollars for funding that. See, I called that out on my show. That was bull. It wasn't transgender. See, that worries me about you, Charlie. You seem to have swallowed that one whole. like a snake does a mouse without looking into it. It was transgenic mice. Oh, I'm sorry. It was not. But it's hugely different. Transgender, that's just going along with what the mob thinks. It wasn't.
The Charlie Kirk Show

He got it wrong. And no one was around to tell him that he got it wrong. He just went with it. Transgender. It wasn't transgender. It was transgenic. They were studying mice for health reasons, serious cancer-solving reasons. Nothing to do with transgender. I stand corrected on that.
The Charlie Kirk Show

No, of course. So as Christian as you are, you don't want us to be the Christian United States of America. I want to see the body politic become Christian, but I want the Constitution to be our North Star.

The Bill Maher Interview — My Full Reaction
The idea that you think we need Christianity as the pillar here to hold up this edifice, that I can't agree with.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Bill Maher Interview — My Full Reaction
Well, what we do know is that the ideas of the Enlightenment were ideas from people who were Christian. I mean, obviously, Rousseau and John Locke and the people here in America. It was very Christian. Yeah, Christian. I mean, Christianity to varying degrees. Again, deism. Again, you know, Thomas Jefferson taking Jesus out of his miracles out of the Bible. But that's the basic tradition.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Bill Maher Interview — My Full Reaction
It is a Western tradition that we seem to have to always apologize for. I'm sorry. No, no, no, I'm not. No, I'm joking. But no, if America was 81% Christian or 81% Islamic, what's a better country? Yes. According to the ideals I believe in, if you think faith, and I know you do, is the most important thing, you might think Islam. But I happen to think freedom is the most important thing.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Bill Maher Interview — My Full Reaction
Personal liberty. Again, human rights, rule of law. Scientific inquiry, democracy, freedom of speech, all these things which are absent much more in those societies than the society I live in. All right, Charlie. Okay.

It certainly hasn't changed my life. Okay. I grow it right outside here.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Bill Maher Interview — My Full Reaction
Well, I don't know, but that's not really the relevant question, is it? Even if there is a deleterious effect, there is too many things we do, and we would not use that as a reason to prescribe our basic freedoms. Should people be able to do drugs on the street? No, definitely not on the street.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Bill Maher Interview — My Full Reaction
Of course there are limits, yes, and maybe of certain drugs, or certain drugs should be by prescription prescribed. as we do with pharmaceutical drugs. But certainly pot is more benign than alcohol. I mean, I could give you the stats on that. We all know that. Is it health food? No. I'm not crazy like some of my hippie friends are, trying to portray it as something that's actually dangerous.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Bill Maher Interview — My Full Reaction
good for your lungs. But I don't think it's, well, it's a trade-off. When you're an adult, you have the right to make trade-offs. Trade-offs is the essence of life. I'm going to have this piece of cake tonight and be a little fatter tomorrow, or I'm not going to do that and feel better tomorrow. And we all make those choices on a daily basis with everything.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Bill Maher Interview — My Full Reaction
Yes, have I probably cut off some years of my life, maybe with pot? Who knows? I may have increased them because it helped, It certainly made me richer. It made me better at my job, better at writing, better at a lot of things I like to do. So, you know, I might be living in a two-bedroom apartment in Van Nuys if it wasn't for Potter, and I'm probably going to live longer here.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Bill Maher Interview — My Full Reaction
Oh, I hear those things, too, and I'm sure that's true because once it became as commercialized as it has, of course you're going to try to maximize the potency of it. just because the customer comes back, just like a restaurant is not interested in your health. They're interested in making the food as delicious as they can so you come back to that restaurant.

But it's so hard for me to tell you because I've been smoking for... 50 years, and I'm different. Who knows what I was thinking? I remember when I first smoked, we would just sit in the car and laugh at nothing for an hour. That doesn't happen anymore. So my guess is the pot is stronger, but my resistance is weaker. Anyway, people think I'm some sort of giant pothead.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Bill Maher Interview — My Full Reaction
I've always been very circumspect about my pot smoking. I mean, I don't smoke every day. The most I smoke is right here, once a week. I like to be in party mode when I'm with someone I'm getting to know. This is one of the joys of my life. And... You know, I understand that it doesn't connect with some people or make some people paranoid or something.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Bill Maher Interview — My Full Reaction
But other people, it's just, I mean, you know, some people like a scotch and some people like blah, blah, blah. And some people like complete sobriety. If that's your thing, that's fine. But to me, the most interesting place I can ever travel is inside my own mind. And drugs do help you get there.

OK. I mean, she conceded the election. Whether whether you're interpreting her disappointment at losing it as the same thing as Trump not conceding it.

Tucker Carlson, Shawn Ryan, Bill Maher, Charlamagne, and More: Most Memorable Interviews From 2024
Well, I think what Joe Biden is is a guy who does not want to fight with the left wing of his party. He sees that as I don't think he understands a lot of what's going on in the left wing. I mean, I doubt if he heard the word trans before he was president. But that's that's what he has chosen to do. He does not want to fight with AOC.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tucker Carlson, Shawn Ryan, Bill Maher, Charlamagne, and More: Most Memorable Interviews From 2024
He thinks that's where the energy in the party is and he's not completely wrong. So he just kind of goes along with that kind of stuff. Yeah, that's that's one thing that's not great about him. But again, in this country, maybe gender is not binary, but politics is. You only get two choices. That's right.
The Megyn Kelly Show

And what was that crime? That was the— Classified documents.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tucker Carlson, Shawn Ryan, Bill Maher, Charlamagne, and More: Most Memorable Interviews From 2024
Well, OK, again, a false equivalency. They both had classified documents. Here's the difference. Immediately, Biden, he shouldn't have had them. Immediately, he said, oh, sorry, my bad, and gave them back.
The Megyn Kelly Show

One.

One of them.

One Trump, one Biden. They both did that. The difference is Goofus and Gallant. Goofus said, anything I touch is mine forever. Go fish. Go fish. And the other one said, oh, yeah, my bad. And I immediately returned them.

Yeah. Maybe you know more about that than I do. I don't remember that part of it.

That perhaps for our most tricky disagreements, seeking the truth and seeking to convince others of the truth might not be the right place to start. In fact, our reverence for the truth might be a distraction that's getting in the way of finding common ground and getting things done.

First of all.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Moments: Bill Maher, VP Vance, Charlamagne, All-In Podcast, Shawn Ryan, Karoline Leavitt
He thought last time that he could count on someone being just a Republican. to do his bidding. And what he found out was that there are a lot of decent people who are Republicans, which is something I'm trying to tell the Democrats all the time. You can't hate Trump. You can't hate everybody who likes him. And you certainly can't hate half the country.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Moments: Bill Maher, VP Vance, Charlamagne, All-In Podcast, Shawn Ryan, Karoline Leavitt
And Republicans is not a byword for bad people. And a lot of them stood up. I mean, even ones who I don't like very much... Mitt Romney, McConnell, obviously Liz Cheney, Chris Christie. There were Mike Pence. These are what I call as good as it gets Republicans for the people who don't like Republicans. They full-throatedly said Trump lost that election. No two ways about it.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Moments: Bill Maher, VP Vance, Charlamagne, All-In Podcast, Shawn Ryan, Karoline Leavitt
McConnell said it wasn't even a particularly close election.

And that's more important than what I was bringing up about not abiding by election results, not respecting what always made this country great, the peaceful transference of power.

I don't have to get you to agree or disagree. You're obviously someone who looks at an elephant and a mouse and cannot tell which one is bigger.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Moments: Bill Maher, VP Vance, Charlamagne, All-In Podcast, Shawn Ryan, Karoline Leavitt
That's how I see you. Well, let's talk about. Why are you telling me this? I mean, this is just typical right wing talking points. The evil Hunter Biden and the evil Joe Biden. And do I like them? No, I don't particularly like that. I think they're very flawed. Lessons. It's not nearly on the scale.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Moments: Bill Maher, VP Vance, Charlamagne, All-In Podcast, Shawn Ryan, Karoline Leavitt
But again, these are the normal sorts of issues we've always had in this country that should be taken care of through the normal process we've had. You're talking about the difference between this and something fundamental, which is... are democracy. The fact that you have to respect who wins an election or else you don't have the kind of country we've always had before.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Moments: Bill Maher, VP Vance, Charlamagne, All-In Podcast, Shawn Ryan, Karoline Leavitt

First of all, she came out before the sun had risen to concede the election to Trump.
The Megyn Kelly Show

Okay, well, first of all, she didn't say he was an illegitimate. Yes, she did. Tell me exactly what she said.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Moments: Bill Maher, VP Vance, Charlamagne, All-In Podcast, Shawn Ryan, Karoline Leavitt
Okay. I mean, she conceded the election. Whether you're interpreting her disappointment at losing it as the same thing as Trump not conceding it, I don't know. That's where you're getting it from. But again, it's a tremendous false equivalency. You could ask Hillary Clinton right now who won that election. She will tell you. Donald Trump
The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Moments: Bill Maher, VP Vance, Charlamagne, All-In Podcast, Shawn Ryan, Karoline Leavitt
She came out that night in her dark purple suit and conceded the election. Correct.

I'm not defending Biden on immigration. I don't understand why it's so difficult. in this country to stop people coming through the border. I don't.

I don't understand why.

A lot of people lately talking about this 80-20 issue. And I think you are on the other side of this now, the side with the 80. 80 being 80% of the people in this country.

Well, if you go knocking on his door, it's very easy just to not even answer or just slam it on your face. What I'm thinking about doing is luring him out. And then you come between him and the door, which may give you that precious one line, that question that will hook him. And then he will want to stay outside. And then when he comes out, he doesn't even have to know we're together.

If you think about it for that one moment, let's postulate that he is guilty. Let's assume, let's just for argument's sake say he's guilty. Every breath, every moment is burned in his brain. Right. And to me, this question of the phones is one of the most pivotal points made, because if he found that phone. Right. If he had the phone, that tells us he was in the house.

Tanko Talks, Megyn's Hidden Camera Footage - Part 5 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1026

The Megyn Kelly Show
Tanko Talks, Megyn's Hidden Camera Footage - Part 5 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1026
And that Megan Wright was dialed. Megan Wright's number was dialed. He had to make it, in my opinion, he had to make a story. Oh, I found the phones. And then he realized it's not his best interest to say he had, oh, I didn't have the phones. Yeah, exactly.

Bonus Episode: Daily Review with Clay Travis and Buck Sexton
There was a very big story this year. It was in the front page of the New York Times. A woman, I forget her name, and she had done like it was a 10-year study, did not release it on purpose because she said it would weaponize the argument from the other side. So in other words, it came out not the way you wanted the study to come out. Not what you said. It is a mixed bag. That's true.

Bonus Episode: Daily Review with Clay Travis and Buck Sexton
Some people, yes, it's the right thing. But to take that risk at that age before you know about anything, yes, sometimes it's pretty obvious. It's a very hard call to make. And again, this was a very long study, very thorough, and they wouldn't release it because it came out with the wrong conclusion.
