i i i love bill maher.t whento def he actually saim that i had to defend my queen againstt because it's a cultural thing in our country to really love our monarch and we doso absolutely revere and love queen elizabeth on the throne 70 yearslu. un campaigni but you know, young mentioned then the campaigning i did at cnn. c i wo uld do diffei would do it diffei i had my time again because i think you've got to be mindful if you're a brit in a foreign country like america, america has its own culture and it has a strong gun culture. a it's not one that i feel comfortable with coming from a country with no gunsgu. a but i do think i went about it w perhaps in a very overbearinghe way trying to tell americans how to live their lives. and you're right, if you try y o do that with our royal family, we'll be run out of you. i you'd be run out of town so that and i think there are interesting debate to be had about cultural issues in america. but i ishou i should be respect american's right to leadleli their livesve

i'm not giving bill maher credit. war was bill maher when it mattered? coming to the conclusion after the fact and damage was done. they knew what they were doing. media, big tech, stopping us sharing critical information before an election. former intel officers, who lied to us, former heads, james brennan, john clapper, intentionally lying to the american people, trying to claim it was russia disinformation. there was malicious intent to thwart and election and it did. media research did polling on this, looking at swing voters in seven states, found 45% had no clue about the biden family business dealings. 9.4% would have changed their vote had they have known. so i'm not giving any of these people credit for lying to us, for trying to shape an election. these all bad actors including bill maher. stuart: nothing happens unless there are indictments following what went on with the laptop. are we getting indictments? >> i have no faith in the system. you have 51 former intelligence officials blatantly lying to the american people. these officials are co

what hbo's bill maher on this. >> we have problems we haven't had in a very long time like inflation.> yes. >> certainly we have been running up the debt but not the levels that we have in recent years where we just sort of went, oh, numbers don't mean anything and now they write it like it is a dinner check. just. [laughter]. i don't know where that leads. >> we're in highly unusual conditions i think it is worth saying that. we're in the middle of a pandemic. >> we're no the middle of one and -- >> no we're not. >> it is debatable as to whether we should have have lost our [bleep] to that degree. also people say lockdowns didn't really change anything. >> yeah. that's it. lockdowns didn't change anything. lockdowns worse inned the situation. you, democrats, you ruined it. you destroyed it, you triggered the spending. former obama advisors, jason furman, larry summers, steve rattner, your spending is igniting inflation. why is this falling on deaf ears in the white house, congressman? final word. >> it is really hard to tell but you know what the american people are seeing every deci

it is so bad even late-night liberal host bill maher has issued this morning.y won't heat it, but they should, to his fellow democrats. >> there is a hunger for, i think, in america more than anything is common sense that away from the extremes -- when people say to me, you know, don't you think you've got more conservative? no, i haven't. the left has gotten goofier. so i seem more conservative maybe, but it's not me who changed. i feel i'm the same guy. i am always saying to the democrats, just don't be the party of no common sense and you will be surprised at how much amazing success you will have as opposed to what's going to happen, which is there going to get kicked in november. >> sean: by the way, i finally agree with bill maher, and i would agree with his assessment. he's not really changed. he's never liked me, i've never particularly liked him, but he's pretty smart, intelligent, democrats would be wise to listen to him. many of his fellow democrats have done absolutely insane. common sense is dead in this new green deal climate alarmist religious cu

it was a bad night for liberal hypocrisy. >> wow, i'm agreeing again with bill maher.d, he's basically saying if you're just going to pick and choose what you think is right and wrong based on how you feel in the moment, do you even have morals or principles? i have to agree with what he said. >> yeah. and then he went and summed up the night with this amazing thesis statement basically saying the democratic party and the oscars have become one and the same thing. now think about that for a moment. that is a very astute point, because when you think about it, look at all the movies that were awarded. there are all these, like, arthouse, artsy flicks that, quite frankly, nobody watches. middle america doesn't watch. and these are the same movies that are talked about by the same very, very small minority of people on twitter, and the twitter world thinks that this is what everybody's talking about whether it's movies, whether it's politics, whether it's their view on things when, in reality, middle america doesn't have that view. in reality, middle america wants to watc

to quote bill maher, the american late—night comedian, there is a war onjokes.njokes? a little bit, yes, but also, i think if a comedian is clever, they can navigate it in a way. i will give you an example, stephen, coming from the comedy clubs where it was very bang, bang, bang. you've got ten seconds to make someone laugh. i remember being in a comedy club and they weren't laughing, and the guy goes, give me a chance, and people said, if you are not funny, get off, and he said, give me a chance, i am actually a schizophrenic. you can both get off. so, people are really quick. the way the comedy is built for short bits, and that is where you can get into trouble because if you just go for the gag, you may get into trouble. so, now, for my concert pieces, i have never done more setup in my life, because sometimes you need setup and, i better say this before they cancel may. there is more explanation. not so much, you know... not so much stuff that is going to take away from the gag, you can do it in an economical way, but i find that when i look at the totality

that basically is where we're at at-this-point, even someone who is opposed to you saying a bill maherory and wokism and gender stuff and lockdowns, how could he vote for democrat, he needs to temporarily vote for republicans, restore normalcy, 2 plus 2 is 4, then we could get back to america we had 20 years ago it of liberals versus conservatives fighting about taxing a rates, not whether america would continue or not. mark: a great book, don't burn this country. the rubin report. thank you dave, god bless you my friend. >> mark, thank you very much. mark: we'll be right back.

pete: that is how bill maher put it on his program. >> twitter is the public square now.s a different world we live in where social media controls this, social media is sort of, it is living in a space that is not exactly a publication but not exactly a private company either. they are talking about whether coronavirus came from a lab and it may well haven't even the biden administration, we don't know where coronavirus came from but no reason to think it couldn't have emerge from a lab, they have a where -- are lab in wuhan that was studying the coronavirus. that is what elon musk wants to fix at twitter. pete: that's the exact issue. in this washington post op-ed about elon musk there is a line i find fascinating, the dangers of free speech, this safety from harassment is the first step, it said a consistent definition of harassment, that's the joke. whatever definition today will be something different tomorrow because it is about power and not even the topic, your daughter asked about men versus women, we can play that clip later and she asked her you've got this vacc
