Bill Maher's Crowd Stunned by His Brutal Message to Democrats

0:00I've tried a lot of seafood over the years, guys, and truly it's been hit or miss. You know, sometimes it looks great, but then you cook it and it just doesn't have that flavor or freshness you expect. So finding something reliable has made a huge difference. Wild Alaskan Company really changed that for me. It's the best way to receive high quality wild caught seafood delivered right to your door on your schedule. The first box I got was super easy to use. Everything comes individually portioned and vacuum sealed, so there's no guesswork. I cooked that wild Alaskan sockeye salmon just in a pan with a little olive oil, salt, and pepper, and it turned out fantastic.

0:34Clean flavor, great texture, and didn't feel like frozen fish at all. I've also tried the wild Pacific cod, which I love. It's light and flaky and really easy to work in when you need a quick dinner. What stood out is that the fish is quick frozen right after it's caught in Alaska, so it locks in that freshness along with the nutrients like omega-3s, and it's clean. no GMOs, no antibiotics, no additives, and it supports sustainable fishing and Alaskan fishermen. They're so confident in the quality that there's 100 % satisfaction, money-back guarantee, so there's no risk in trying it.

Look, I think basically where we're at probably from now until the midterms is just showing you the difference. It's not a heavy lift, actually.

3:46just showing you the difference of what is going on in Democrat-run places and what is going on in Republican-run places. And it doesn't mean that the Republicans are gonna do everything right or even that Trump will do everything right, but the difference is so staggering as the Democrats go fully commie, jihadi, whatever you wanna call that at this point, it doesn't really matter, that all the Republicans, I think, have to do is basically be okay. Little bit of common sense, basic sensible policies. And I think, and I know I'm outside the Overton window on this one, I think the midterms will be okay because I think, call me crazy, I think most Americans actually like America.

4:28We'll find out in about five months. Anyway, the big thing and the highlight right now for this week is that the LA mayoral election is almost here. We've obviously done a ton covering Spencer Pratt and they will have to decide. Los Angelenos will have to decide, Do you want the endless urban chaos? Do you want the drugs everywhere? Do you want all of the people fleeing? Do you want chaos and disaster? Or would you like to maybe clean that up? Well, that'll be up to them. Here is Bill Maher on Friday night on Real Time, pointing out that he had just had Pratt on his podcast. And you can see he's still hedging a little bit, but I think he's going to get there.

5:17I have to move on. I had Spencer Pratt on my podcast the other day. What did you think? You know what? I know I'm supposed to hate him. I don't. He runs great ads. Yeah, I mean, he's a nice guy. What's charming about him is he has no advisors. I mean, I confronted him on, like, you know, this and this. You're going to have to think about it. No, I only care about the issues I care about. So he's very honest about that. It's funny because he's running as a Republican and doing quite well. Everybody out here is like, what do you think of Spencer Pratt? He's on everybody's mind. I was asking him about that.

5:50He's very un-Californian in that way for a guy who's from California. All right, so we're going to show you a second of their, or a moment of their interview at Club Random. But I wanted to show you that first because it's interesting. He says, I know I'm supposed to hate him. And this is still what I would say is a condition of the liberal mind. Like, what is it that we're supposed to hate about Spencer Pratt? What would be Spencer Pratt's, Joseph, try to find me, what is Spencer Pratt's most controversial position? Does he want homeless people off the streets? Yes. Does he want drug addicts off the streets?

6:21Yes. Does he want more sensible policing and sensible use of the, I don't know, say reservoirs that they should have water in them during fires? These are actually all sensible things, but what Bill in essence is saying, oh, the Libs, like the place that I live in, Los Angeles is so lefty bananas that if anyone has an R next to their name or isn't just a progressive lunatic, that I'm supposed to hate him. But then, because Bill actually does think for himself and he's not just a lemming with the rest of the progressives, he's going, you know, I listen to the guy and the stuff that he cares about, he's pretty good on, and I didn't hate him.

6:58Here's a bit of them not hating each other. I actually feel like Robin Hood, because I'm coming in and I'm gonna say, where's all this money? We're done with everyone stealing the tax money. We're going to actually put it to the people that have turned to socialism because they say America doesn't work. It doesn't work if we let people steal all the tax money and we have no accountability and transparency. And, you know, I mean, look, I mean, you're not the first guy to say these kind of things. It's all who can actually do it. Who can stand up to what is going to come up against you when you actually try to.

7:34I know. But really, I mean, this state... I promise you I'm the one. Okay, and I hope you are. Yeah, I'm the one. I hate these people so much. I know. When you said don't be so personal, it's personal for me. And look, it's kind of good in a way that you are the douchebag because if you're already hated, then you don't have to... Because trust me, what you're going to go up against is a state that is just full of special interests. Yes, that's right, Bill. And I'm glad to hear you basically said you're voting for the guy. It's pretty obvious that you're supporting him. And I love that he says, no, this is me.

8:16I'm going to do it. Like, Bill, if you want fraud out or anyone that wants fraud out, you think Karen Bass is gonna do it? It doesn't mean that Spencer Pratt will do it perfectly. It's like Donald Trump saying, I'm gonna get rid of fraud. They're doing the best they can. And we are shining a light. I mean, think about all the things that we now see out of Minnesota, California, the hospices, et cetera, et cetera. Before that, we weren't doing anything as it relates to any of that. So if you want the grift to just continue, then you should vote for Karen Bass. But if you think that something is wrong in that town, then obviously you should support Pratt.

8:48Obviously, obviously. By the way, I should note, you know, only a small percentage of you guys actually live in LA that watch this show. But this is one of these elections that it's a bellwether for the nation because will Los Angeles, one of our most important cities, Hollywood, even if Hollywood's completely crumbling right now, like the amount of money and influence that comes out of that city, will it make the right choice right now or will it continue to go down? And by the way, you might make an argument that if it continues to go down, that that's actually better for the Republicans in the midterm because we'll see more fruits of what happens when you continue these horrible policies.

9:23Anyway, here's another Hollywood guy who has woken up. This is Rob Schneider, comedian, full on endorsing Spencer Pratt. Do you think Spencer Pratt can do it? You can do it, but I don't trust the Democrats. That's exactly how I was hoping you would say that. The Democrats have it. Spencer. No, the Democrats have their ideological captives and they're not letting it go. The thing is that they've convinced their people that it's just no matter how bad things are, it would somehow, these people are so evil, it would be worse. It's like, yes, your entire town burned down. But imagine if it was burned down by someone who was transphobic.

10:07Can you imagine? Literally is, you know, the last days of the bunker for Karen Bass. And they just convinced them it would be way worse if they had, you know, a conservative. And I think you got to try something. Los Angeles, how could it be worse? Try something. Now that's an interesting moment. Los Angeles, how could it be worse? But how, the question really, in some sense, is not about Spencer Pratt or Canterbass. The question is how crazy is the electorate of Los Angeles? They've been seeing this go on for years, right? It was one of the many reasons. It was a lot more to do with COVID stuff, but it was one of the many reasons that I fled, right?

10:42So the question really is, is Pratt's message translating in that specific crazy town or is it that it's just kind of working online? Like he's hot online, obviously. Here's Pratt on Gutfeld addressing just that, this idea between the micro version of what's happening in LA versus the macro version where it seems like everybody loves the guy. Spencer, you're on a roll. You're surging in the polls. Do you think your message is actually resonating among the people, not just online, but that people are finally hearing it? This is my favorite thing the internet says. They're like, he's so big on the internet, but is he big in the streets?

11:22Yes, the people I'm surging with are the people having to step over the naked drug addicts and step into human poop to get their$20 matcha. Those are the people that I'm surging with, the moms across Los Angeles who have to use their strollers around fentanyl needles and naked drug addict zombies with machetes that maybe will chop a limb off. So, yeah. They should just AI that. That would be pretty good. That's quite an image, but that is right. Now, the reason I would offer a little caution here is that I'd been through it in LA. And when I was going to all of those rallies to open up the city of Los Angeles and open up the state of California and campaigning with Larry Elder, I've told you this guys many times, but I kept meeting people.

12:06They were not Republicans for the most part. Yeah, there was a bunch of Republicans there, obviously, but the people who were the most jazzed up about voting, who were the most vocal and everything else, were the liberals who were mugged by liberal stupidity. So it is nice to see that he's, okay, yeah, you have to step over a dead naked body and into poop to get the matcha. Yeah, you might wake up. The question is, is there enough of them? I just don't know the answer. I don't think anyone knows the answer. I really like Pratt's line on this though. Take a look. Campaign now, how I identify besides being the common sense American, it's the look around candidate.

12:43Look around and see with your own eyes what I'm saying. And it's true. And that's why I'm going to win. Because my opponents just lie. And they've had 10 years combined that they've created everything that they are looking around and seeing. So I would say, no more of this. We're going to stop this. We're going to get all your tax money that these two have been stealing to put these naked drug addict zombies that are going number two and number one in front of your houses, your businesses. maybe trying to machete you or stab you. We're going to get them mandatory medical treatment. Not an empty bed.

13:18I like that line because to me, that cuts through the nonsense here, right? It really cuts through it. Just look around your city. And I was just there a couple of weeks ago and it was everywhere. We showed you videos, literally woke up my first morning in LA, go to get a cup of coffee and there's a homeless guy on Melrose around all these nice stores that were all pretty much empty, but with a swastika and like, Yeah, and it's just, and he was clearly just a drug addict on the floor. I actually saw someone that I know who is well known in the industry, who I had dinner with probably a year and a half ago and he was a full on junkie in the middle of the street.

13:52So I like that, just look around. You know, it's sort of like when I say to people, well, you don't have to know too much about all of the policies, but where do people go to and where are they fleeing from, right? If you're not a policy wonk and you don't know every little thing about every little policy, the simple thing is where do people wanna live and where are they leaving? And we know they're leaving blue cities and states in droves and where are they showing up? They're showing up to red states. Florida alone, check yourself, check it yourself, since COVID has 2.3 million new people. It's one of the reasons that right now, Ron DeSantis is doing this property tax reform because we have so much more money coming in right now and Cali has lost over a million people.

14:33So you don't have to, okay, you can say, this is what I like about taxes. This is what I like about education, but where are people fleeing from and where are they going to? That would be the ultimate decider, which is exactly what he's saying. Look around, and if you think having the naked guy taking the poop outside of Erdogan as you try to get your Hailey Bieber smoothie is great, then you should continue voting for Karen Bass. The entire machine, though, just absolutely loves Karen Bass. She's just part of the sort of grifting Democrat machine that ruins everything. And here's Ro Khanna on the televised mental institution, now known as MSNOW.

15:07And, well, he blames Trump for all of Karen Bass's shortcomings. I'm shocked and appalled. When it comes to the L.A. race, Karen Bass and you see Spencer Pratt, what do you think we're learning about how Californians feel about the incumbents in general? Look, I think that there was a lot of hurt and anger after the fires. My view is that the blame of that really needs to go on Donald Trump. They still owe the state$50 billion. They have not worked with Mayor Bass. I'm sorry, what a clown that guy turned into. And if he's willing to do the show again, I'll say that to his face. The hurt and anger of having your house burned down in the Pacific policies, which happened to Spencer Pratt and next door his parents' house, and quite literally the house across the street burned down, and the neighbor died, burned to death, or was asphyxiated by smoke.

16:05and that should be blamed on Donald Trump for 50 billion, I don't even know what he's talking about, for$50 billion the feds didn't give. It's not Donald Trump's fault the reservoirs were empty. It's not Donald Trump's fault that Karen Bass, despite being told about the Santa Ana winds, went to Ghana two days before. Like the buck never stops with anybody with these people. So, okay, so there's Pratt saying, hey, I can do it. You got good libs like Bill Maher and you got like a, he's a Hollywood conservative, I would say Rob Schneider saying, hey, we're gonna vote for this guy. So this is what I'm saying.

16:37At the macro level of the country, it feels like he's got momentum. But the city itself, it's hard to imagine there are still cities that believe in these ridiculous policies. But look at the latest numbers from Polymarket. I mean, it's not looking great. This is obviously not scientific. It's just what people are betting on at the moment. But LA mayoral election, Karen Bass still at 64 % and Pratt at only 21%. So I would say it's sort of the same thing I would say to the people of New York. It's like, wake up. You got this election. The New York people, you already missed it because you voted in Mamdami.

17:11And now you probably should get out if you're sane, unless you want to deal with what's going to happen for the next three and a half years. But the LA people is like, vote the right way. And if it doesn't go your way, sometimes it's time to go. Like, watch the end of Fiddler on the Roof. Sometimes you get going. All right, let's shift that a little bit to New York. because as you know, not only does New York have a crime problem, their drug problem isn't quite as horrific, but they have a massive financial problem right now because people are fleeing in droves, taking huge companies like Citadel out, JP Morgan's taking guys out, everybody's coming down to Miami.

17:45You guys know all that stuff. Here's JP Morgan CEO, Jamie Dimon, talking to Maria Bartiromo about Zorhan, and he's trying to just explain to the guy how to do basic economics. it is obviously going to fall on deaf ears. Right? I mean, look at the policy in New York right now and in California. You've got people leaving California because of this potential billionaire's tax. What do you want to say about Mondani in New York? I think good policy is free. I feel like telling the politicians, don't try to raise more taxes or spend more money. Sit down and fix policy. And I think you can grow 1 % faster.

18:19I literally believe that. And the public knows you can't get certificates of occupancy. You can't get roads built. The bridges. Well, that's the Baltimore Bridge. The Baltimore Bridge was supposed to be built by now. It's another five. I go on and on and on. You've been talking about this for so long. It's frustrating. It hurts. It's embarrassing. And it always hurts the civilians of our country. And so so I had a great meeting with Madami, meaning is pleasant. You know, but I said everything I want to say. And I'm going to guess, Jamie, with all due respect, that he's not going to listen to any of that because he's trying to implode the city to usher in something much worse.

18:56Of course, it's like, if you watch that video, are you watching that going, man, Jamie Dimon's evil, this evil capitalist head of the bank? Like, no, he wants New York to be a place where people can do commerce, where you can build properly, where people will come and spend money and it will be safe and all of those things. And somehow he's the bad guy in Zorhan Mamdami's New York. And I hate to tell you, Jamie, you're just gonna keep moving stuff down here. Like the script has already been written. The other thing that the Democrats love to do is no matter what the federal government tries to do to fight their lunacy or clean up some of the fraud or wrongs that the government has done to the people, they wanna stop that too.

19:36So we covered last week that Trump's got this new anti-weaponization fund. So it's mostly for January 6th people, but not only, but if you were wronged by the government, they are trying to put together a fund so that you would be able to get some restitution. So if let's say on January 6th, you were one of the people who just wandered in, right? You didn't break anything. As I said, you didn't take a dump on Nancy Pelosi's desk as much as you wanted to or anything like that, but you didn't do anything criminal. You walked into the people's house and then you got caught up in legal nonsense. You would now have some ability to sue the government and then get some money back.

20:12The Democrats are not happy about this. And here's Zorhan explaining to Jen Psaki, government activist Jen Psaki, who now works at MSNOW, that he'll take all of that money back if any New York City resident was to get it. Music, food, art. These things define and unite us. And they come in colors that breathe culture. Colors that connect us with their variety and richness. You'll find that same variety in Valspar Ultra paints. Great coverage and durability starting at$29.98 per gallon. Enjoy everyday protection against scuffs and wear with a smooth, washable finish. We're made of colors. And with Valspar Ultra, you can reflect that pride of culture you have inside on every wall of your home.

20:55Available at Lowe's. So if a New York City resident gets money from the slush fund, I mean, you might be open to a proposal, it sounds like, to tax them at 100 % that's going through the assembly. I think it's time to explore every option to see what it can look like to actually fight back against these kind of federal policies. Because we're looking at a city that is the most expensive in the United States of America. and it's a city where one in four people are living in poverty. And the same city which has generated immense wealth is one where so many New Yorkers dread the first of the month because they don't know how they're going to pay for both their rent bill and their utility bill.

21:31And for us to see all of this while we have a federal government that is willing to put$1.8 billion into a fund like this. A fund like what? A fund that will help people who've been wronged by the government. But I don't even have to explain it any further. and every solution that he has is that the government should take more and maybe parse in his world, it'll just be so benevolent and nice and it'll parse it all out. Now I wanna connect this to something. I mentioned a couple of weeks ago when I was in LA, I did this absolutely ridiculous Surrounded show and it was basically, they have 20, these were all kids that sat around me.

22:08This is how they always do the show and then one person debates them and they run to the chair and they come and you debate all of these people And I did it. It was, as I said a couple weeks ago, like I didn't wanna lead too much. It was just kind of gross. Like these kids, honestly, and they were all kids. I think everybody was under 30. They were children. They were so angry. I could literally feel like knives in my back. You know, sometimes you can have almost a visceral reaction to that amount of hatred. Like I was surrounded by 20 people who really wanted to hate me, or really, really, I think, really hated me for sure.

22:41There was no doubt about that. But I honestly believe some of these people would have killed me if they could. Several of them smelled like they were, the main thing, we can bring in Joey and you can ask him, when it ended, my main thing was I just wanted to wash my hand and my face from their bad breath and how gross my hands felt. That really is the truth. Anywho, here I am to just illustrate a little point of how deep some of this backwards thinking is going. We'll show you two clips here, we're gonna break it up. Me debating a communist. I didn't know that I was gonna have an outright fully admitted communist there, but here we go do you not want people to own private property well i'm definitely anti-capitalist i would say so i would say that workers should own the means of production right oh so you're a communist yeah oh interesting yeah wow i don't know what is coming i haven't talked to a real life communist what's a communist well you want the peep you want the people to own the means of production yeah you don't seem to believe in the people who create the people who create value as in create the value of commodities should own the the actual value that they create from that process Yes.

23:42Yes. So my answer, if you want the people, everyone in this room and everyone in this country, if they work more, what I would want is that you would take less from them. So you tax everybody less. You remove regulation. You create the conditions for competition and capitalism so that more people will have more of their money. I want you. I assume you work. Do you work? Yeah. Do you pay taxes? Yeah. I want you to keep more of your money. I don't know what you do. I don't how much you earn, whatever it is you earn, I want you to have more of that money so that you can put that money back into the system.

24:16Okay, so for three hours I sat with these people and they gave, you know, just generic communist socialist talking points. A lot of it was very, they were attacking me personally. I don't think she smelled that much if I remember correctly, but a lot of them really genuinely did smell like, just like the hatred was just dripping off them. And interestingly, the ones that smiled, most of them had a horrible scowl on their face. The ones that smiled, I I actually thought were the most dangerous. Those were the ones that seemed like the Joker, like the Joker kind of smiles at you as he's about to stab you.

24:44Anyway, here I tried to explain a bit more that what you wanna do is, and this is what Jamie Dimon was saying, get off everybody's back, create a system that allows people to have commerce with each other. Stop giving so much of your autonomy and money and worth to the system in the hopes that it'll drop some breadcrumbs back. So we explained it, or I tried to explain it a bit more. majority of the wealth in the system is is owned by one percent of the population you understand that right and where does that wealth come from wait one percent of the population do you know how much percent they pay in taxes that one percent not nearly enough because the majority of their because the majority of their wealth comes from it's 47 percent right hold on hold on so one percent of the population pay 47 percent you accept that okay yeah yeah so what would be their fair what percent of what what would be their is their actual wealth that they own that again majority of these lineages of well you seem to wait hold on what would be their fair share what would be their first accumulation of what what would be their fair share i would say that the fact that they own one percent you're not letting me 47 in taxes here's my problem you're not letting me finish the point so we can't get from point a to b do you understand that okay okay cool if you said that one percent there's not going to be a fair share when their wealth is coming from the back ends of colonialism so that's not going to work god there's a lot to unpack notice they throw a fact check up that it's somewhere between 40 and 47%.
