00:07:31,083 --> 00:07:32,518
THE OTHER THING THIS GUY HATES

193
00:07:32,585 --> 00:07:35,087
ABOUT JOE BIDEN IS THE WAY HE

194
00:07:35,154 --> 00:07:36,355
CAKES ON ORANGE MAKEUP, THAT'S

195
00:07:36,422 --> 00:07:38,891
TERRIBLE.

196
00:07:38,958 --> 00:07:41,194
[LAUGHTER]

197
00:07:41,260 --> 00:07:42,762
BUT GOOD NEWS, LOOKS LIKE BIDEN

198
00:07:42,829 --> 00:07:45,398
IS GOING TO GET A LITTLE MOJO

199
00:07:45,464 --> 00:07:45,598
BACK.

200
00:07:45,665 --> 00:07:47,266
HE'S GOING TO GET A

201
00:07:47,333 --> 00:07:48,434
SUPREME COURT PICK, HOW ABOUT

202
00:07:48,501 --> 00:07:48,634
THAT?

203
00:07:48,701 --> 00:07:58,344
[APPLAUSE]

204
00:07:58,411 --> 00:07:58,945
STEPHEN BREYER IS RETIRING AND

205
00:07:59,011 --> 00:08:01,180
HE'S GOING TO DO HIS JUSTICE AND

206
00:08:01,247 --> 00:08:04,584
APPOINT A BLACK WOMAN TO THE

207
00:08:04,650 --> 00:08:04,917
SUPREME COURT.

208
00:08:04,984 --> 00:08:08,287
[APPLAUSE]

209
00:08:08,354 --> 00:08:08,921
YES.

210
00:08:08,988 --> 00:08:11,858
AND TODAY ELIZABETH WARREN SAID,

211
00:08:11,924 --> 00:08:12,592
I JUST REMEMBERED, I AM PART

212
00:08:12,658 --> 00:08:14,994
THAT TOO.

213
00:08:15,061 --> 00:08:17,430
[APPLAUSE]

214
00:08:17,496 --> 00:08:20,533
BUT HOW ABOUT A HAND FOR

215
00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:23,202
JUSTICE BREYER WHO IS QUITTING?

216
00:08:23,269 --> 00:08:25,838
HE DID A GOOD JOB, HE WAS A GOOD

217
00:08:25,905 --> 00:08:26,839
JUSTICE, BUT HE IS 83.

218
00:08:26,906 --> 00:08:30,776
HE SAID I'M GETTING OLDER.

219
00:08:30,843 --> 00:08:38,718
I CAN REMEMBER WHEN M&MS WERE

220
00:08:38,784 --> 00:08:42,855
WHORES."

221
00:08:42,922 --> 00:08:43,489
>> Bill: OKAY, WE'VE GOT A GREAT

222
00:08:43,556 --> 00:08:44,757
SHOW, MATT WELCH AND FIONA HILL

223
00:08:44,824 --> 00:08:45,558
ARE HERE.

224
00:08:45,625 --> 00:08:46,125
BUT FIRST, HE'S THE FORMER

225
00:08:46,192 --> 00:08:46,726
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF THE ACLU

226
00:08:46,792 --> 00:08:47,226
WHO WAS FEATURED IN THE

227
00:08:47,293 --> 00:08:47,860
DOCUMENTARY "MIGHTY IRA: A CIVIL

228
00:08:47,927 --> 00:08:51,497
LIBERTIES STORY," IRA GLASSER.

229
00:08:51,564 --> 00:08:53,933
SIR, HOW ARE YOU?

230
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:56,235
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]

231
00:08:56,302 --> 00:08:57,436
I WON'T SHAKE YOUR HAND BUT I

232
00:08:57,503 --> 00:08:58,804
WISH I COULD.

233
00:08:58,871 --> 00:09:00,406
OF ALL THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE SAT

234
00:09:00,473 --> 00:09:05,511
IN THAT CHAIR OF ALL THE PEOPLE,

235
00:09:05,578 --> 00:09:06,445
I WANT TO GIVE YOU A HUG BECAUSE

236
00:09:06,512 --> 00:09:08,314
I FEEL LIKE YOU HAVE AFFECTED MY

237
00:09:08,381 --> 00:09:10,650
LIFE AS BEING HEAD OF THE ACLU

238
00:09:10,716 --> 00:09:11,717
AND BEING SUCH A PROTECTOR OF

239
00:09:11,784 --> 00:09:14,287
FREE SPEECH, WHICH IS MY

240
00:09:14,353 --> 00:09:14,587
BUSINESS.

241
00:09:14,654 --> 00:09:16,422
>> IT SURE IS.

242
00:09:16,489 --> 00:09:18,958
>> Bill: AND I'M VERY AWARE, I

243
00:09:19,025 --> 00:09:22,094
ALWAYS HAVE BEEN, THAT I AM ABLE

244
00:09:22,161 --> 00:09:24,697
TO ENJOY FREE SPEECH, ESPECIALLY

245
00:09:24,764 --> 00:09:26,265
HERE AT HBO BEFORE ABC WHERE

246
00:09:26,332 --> 00:09:26,599
THEY FIRED ME.

247
00:09:26,666 --> 00:09:26,866
[LAUGHTER]

248
00:09:26,933 --> 00:09:30,169
BUT IN GENERAL, AND COMEDIANS

249
00:09:30,236 --> 00:09:31,570
WEREN'T ALWAYS.

250
00:09:31,637 --> 00:09:32,271
YOU'VE BEEN WITH THE ACLU FOR A

251
00:09:32,338 --> 00:09:32,838
LONG TIME.

252
00:09:32,905 --> 00:09:33,973
WERE YOU THERE WHEN LENNY BRUCE

253
00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:36,842
WAS GOING THROUGH HIS PROBLEMS?

254
00:09:36,909 --> 00:09:38,010
>> NOT QUITE.

255
00:09:38,077 --> 00:09:39,645
>> Bill: BUT YOU WERE AWARE HE

256
00:09:39,712 --> 00:09:42,648
HAD LIKE, NINE TRIALS.

257
00:09:42,715 --> 00:09:45,418
THEY PUT HIM ON TRIAL FOR THINGS

258
00:09:45,484 --> 00:09:47,887
THAT EVERY COMIC NOW SAYS

259
00:09:47,954 --> 00:09:48,421
OPENLY.

260
00:09:48,487 --> 00:09:49,488
SO WHERE IS THE ACLU --

261
00:09:49,555 --> 00:09:51,958
>> THEY TRY TO PROSECUTE PEOPLE

262
00:09:52,024 --> 00:09:54,760
FOR WEARING FLAG SHIRTS,

263
00:09:54,827 --> 00:09:55,227
AMERICAN FLAG SHIRTS.

264
00:09:55,294 --> 00:09:59,732
NOW YOU SEE AMERICAN FLAG DECALS

265
00:09:59,799 --> 00:10:00,766
ON EVERYTHING.

266
00:10:00,833 --> 00:10:02,702
PEOPLE MAKE UNDERWEAR OUT OF IT,

267
00:10:02,768 --> 00:10:04,203
TOILET PAPER OUT OF IT.

268
00:10:04,270 --> 00:10:05,271
BUT IN THE '60s THEY

269
00:10:05,338 --> 00:10:07,340
PROSECUTED PEOPLE.

270
00:10:07,406 --> 00:10:08,774
>> Bill: YOU WERE AHEAD OF

271
00:10:08,841 --> 00:10:10,609
THIS ORGANIZATION FOR 25 YEARS

272
00:10:10,676 --> 00:10:10,843
ALMOST.

273
00:10:10,910 --> 00:10:14,613
FROM 1978 INTO THIS CENTURY.

274
00:10:14,680 --> 00:10:14,947
IT'S CHANGING.

275
00:10:15,014 --> 00:10:18,317
I MEAN, IT WAS A STALWART

276
00:10:18,384 --> 00:10:20,353
DEFENDER OF FREE SPEECH AND

277
00:10:20,419 --> 00:10:22,188
CIVIL LIBERTIES.

278
00:10:22,254 --> 00:10:22,955
IS IT STILL THAT?

279
00:10:23,022 --> 00:10:25,558
>> NOT AS MUCH.

280
00:10:25,624 --> 00:10:26,525
I MEAN, THEY JUST PRODUCED A

281
00:10:26,592 --> 00:10:29,729
COUPLE OF YEARS AGO NEW

282
00:10:29,795 --> 00:10:32,465
GUIDELINES FOR THEIR LAWYERS TO

283
00:10:32,531 --> 00:10:34,000
USE WHEN DECIDING WHAT

284
00:10:34,066 --> 00:10:36,035
FREE SPEECH CASES TO TAKE.

285
00:10:36,102 --> 00:10:37,370
THIS IS A REQUIREMENT NOW FOR

286
00:10:37,436 --> 00:10:40,272
THE NATIONAL ACLU LAWYERS.

287
00:10:40,339 --> 00:10:41,774
BEFORE THEY TAKE THE CASE OF

288
00:10:41,841 --> 00:10:42,575
DEFENDING SOMEONE'S FREE SPEECH

289
00:10:42,641 --> 00:10:44,677
THEY HAVE TO MAKE SURE THAT THE

290
00:10:44,744 --> 00:10:49,181
SPEECH DOESN'T OFFEND OR

291
00:10:49,248 --> 00:10:52,051
THREATEN OTHER CIVIL LIBERTIES

292
00:10:52,118 --> 00:10:52,284
VALUES.

293
00:10:52,351 --> 00:10:55,321
IN OTHER WORDS, BEFORE THEY ARE

294
00:10:55,388 --> 00:10:56,555
GOING TO DEFEND YOUR FREE SPEECH

295
00:10:56,622 --> 00:10:59,825
THEY WANT TO SEE WHAT YOU SAY.

296
00:10:59,892 --> 00:11:01,594
THAT IS THE ACLU?

297
00:11:01,660 --> 00:11:03,763
NO, THAT IS THE GOVERNMENT!

298
00:11:03,829 --> 00:11:04,764
WHAT IS THE ACLU DOING?

299
00:11:04,830 --> 00:11:08,167
>> Bill: I READ THAT QUOTE,

300
00:11:08,234 --> 00:11:09,635
VALUES CONTRARY TO OUR VALUES.

301
00:11:09,702 --> 00:11:12,138
WHAT YOUR VALUE IS FREE SPEECH.

302
00:11:12,204 --> 00:11:17,977
THE MOST FAMOUS CASE, DEFENDED

303
00:11:18,044 --> 00:11:19,278
THE NAZIS BEING ABLE TO MARCH IN

304
00:11:19,345 --> 00:11:22,281
SKOKIE, ILLINOIS, IN 1977.

305
00:11:22,348 --> 00:11:23,482
I'M GUESSING THE NAZIS DID NOT

306
00:11:23,549 --> 00:11:25,451
REFLECT YOUR VALUES.

307
00:11:25,518 --> 00:11:28,154
>> THAT'S A GOOD GUESS.

308
00:11:28,220 --> 00:11:29,588
[LAUGHTER]

309
00:11:29,655 --> 00:11:32,425
ACTUALLY, MOST OF THE SPEECH WE

310
00:11:32,491 --> 00:11:33,893
DEFENDED DIDN'T REFLECT OUR

311
00:11:33,959 --> 00:11:34,160
VALUES --

312
00:11:34,226 --> 00:11:35,394
>> Bill: OF COURSE.

313
00:11:35,461 --> 00:11:35,861
>> THAT IS THE POINT.

314
00:11:35,928 --> 00:11:37,997
>> Bill: THAT IS THE POINT.

315
00:11:38,064 --> 00:11:38,998
HE MENTIONED THE FLAG.

316
00:11:39,065 --> 00:11:40,266
THIS IS THE PROBLEM HUMANS HAVE

317
00:11:40,332 --> 00:11:41,400
BUT NOW THEY HAVE A BIGGER

318
00:11:41,467 --> 00:11:42,802
PROBLEM WITH IT THAN THEY DID IN

319
00:11:42,868 --> 00:11:45,204
THE OLD DAYS WHEN THEY WERE MORE

320
00:11:45,271 --> 00:11:46,605
SOPHISTICATED.

321
00:11:46,672 --> 00:11:47,273
THERE'S CONCEPTS LIKE

322
00:11:47,339 --> 00:11:50,643
FREE SPEECH, AND THEN THERE'S

323
00:11:50,709 --> 00:11:52,144
NAZIS AND FLAGS, WHICH ARE

324
00:11:52,211 --> 00:11:52,411
CONCRETE.

325
00:11:52,478 --> 00:11:57,883
AND YOU SEE A NAZI, YOU SEE A

326
00:11:57,950 --> 00:11:59,618
FLAG BURNING, YOU DON'T LIKE IT.

327
00:11:59,685 --> 00:12:01,253
>> OR IF YOU ARE ANTITOBACCO IN

328
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:02,855
INTO SEE A TOBACCO AD, YOU DON'T

329
00:12:02,922 --> 00:12:03,589
LIKE THAT.

330
00:12:03,656 --> 00:12:05,024
OR IF YOU ARE FOR WOMEN'S

331
00:12:05,091 --> 00:12:06,692
EQUALITY YOU SEE "PLAYBOY"

332
00:12:06,759 --> 00:12:09,128
MAGAZINE, YOU DON'T LIKE THAT.

333
00:12:09,195 --> 00:12:10,596
PEOPLE USED TO SAY TO ME ISN'T

334
00:12:10,663 --> 00:12:11,864
IT HARD TO DEFEND FREE SPEECH

335
00:12:11,931 --> 00:12:13,132
WHEN SO FEW PEOPLE IN THIS

336
00:12:13,199 --> 00:12:15,634
COUNTRY ARE IN FAVOR OF IT?

337
00:12:15,701 --> 00:12:17,870
IN MY RESPONSE ALWAYS WAS NO,

338
00:12:17,937 --> 00:12:18,404
THAT'S WRONG.

339
00:12:18,471 --> 00:12:19,872
EVERYBODY IS IN FAVOR OF

340
00:12:19,939 --> 00:12:22,074
FREE SPEECH, AS LONG AS IT THERE

341
00:12:22,141 --> 00:12:23,442
IS.

342
00:12:23,509 --> 00:12:24,243
>> Bill: WRITES.

343
00:12:24,310 --> 00:12:24,944
>> AND

344
00:12:25,010 --> 00:12:26,979
EVERYBODY HAS AN EXCEPTION.

345
00:12:27,046 --> 00:12:29,849
EVERYBODY SAYS WELL, I BELIEVE

346
00:12:29,915 --> 00:12:31,050
IN FREE SPEECH, BUT.

347
00:12:31,117 --> 00:12:32,485
>> Bill: AND IT DOESN'T WORK

348
00:12:32,551 --> 00:12:32,751
THEN.

349
00:12:32,818 --> 00:12:34,620
CAN I SHOW A QUOTE FROM THE

350
00:12:34,687 --> 00:12:36,155
CURRENT HEAD, ANTHONY ROMERO,

351
00:12:36,222 --> 00:12:37,289
I'M SURE YOU'RE FAMILIAR WITH

352
00:12:37,356 --> 00:12:38,224
THIS GENTLEMAN.

353
00:12:38,290 --> 00:12:39,992
HE SAID, I REJECT THAT WE NEED

354
00:12:40,059 --> 00:12:42,161
AN ENTRANCE EXAM ON CIVIL

355
00:12:42,228 --> 00:12:44,196
LIBERTIES TO ESTABLISH THE

356
00:12:44,263 --> 00:12:47,099
BONA FIDES TO WORK HERE.

357
00:12:47,166 --> 00:12:47,633
WHAT?

358
00:12:47,700 --> 00:12:49,735
YOU DON'T NEED AN ENTRANCE EXAM

359
00:12:49,802 --> 00:12:52,238
ON CIVIL LIBERTIES IN AN

360
00:12:52,304 --> 00:12:52,905
ORGANIZATION CALLED THE AMERICAN

361
00:12:52,972 --> 00:12:55,241
CIVIL LIBERTIES UNION?

362
00:12:55,307 --> 00:12:57,977
WOULD YOU LIKE TO ADDRESS THEM

363
00:12:58,043 --> 00:12:59,111
DIRECTLY?

364
00:12:59,178 --> 00:13:00,579
>> YOU KNOW, THAT MIGHT BE TRUE

365
00:13:00,646 --> 00:13:03,983
FOR HIRING PEOPLE TO WORK IN THE

366
00:13:04,049 --> 00:13:04,316
XEROX ROOM.

367
00:13:04,383 --> 00:13:07,786
[LAUGHTER]

368
00:13:07,853 --> 00:13:09,722
>> Bill: YEAH, HE'S NOT

369
00:13:09,788 --> 00:13:11,023
TALKING ABOUT THAT.

370
00:13:11,090 --> 00:13:12,091
>> THAT'S EXACTLY -- BUT YOU

371
00:13:12,158 --> 00:13:14,193
KNOW, IF YOU'RE HIRING A LAWYER

372
00:13:14,260 --> 00:13:15,161
TO DEFEND THE FIRST AMENDMENT,

373
00:13:15,227 --> 00:13:16,929
YOU WANT TO HAVE A REASONABLE

374
00:13:16,996 --> 00:13:18,831
ASSUMPTION THAT HE LIKES THE

375
00:13:18,898 --> 00:13:20,833
FIRST AMENDMENT, THAT HE

376
00:13:20,900 --> 00:13:21,467
SUPPORTS THE FIRST AMENDMENT.

377
00:13:21,534 --> 00:13:22,902
>> Bill: OR KNOWS OF THEM.

378
00:13:22,968 --> 00:13:28,107
[APPLAUSE]

379
00:13:28,174 --> 00:13:32,144
>> IF YOU'RE HIRING SOMEBODY, A

380
00:13:32,211 --> 00:13:33,812
LAWYER TO DEFEND REPRODUCTIVE

381
00:13:33,879 --> 00:13:36,182
CHOICE FOR WOMEN, YOU WANT TO BE

382
00:13:36,248 --> 00:13:37,316
REASONABLY CERTAIN THAT THEY

383
00:13:37,383 --> 00:13:39,351
BELIEVE IN REPRODUCTIVE CHOICE.

384
00:13:39,418 --> 00:13:41,120
NOW, I'M SURE IT'S POSSIBLE FOR

385
00:13:41,187 --> 00:13:42,755
A GOOD LAWYER TO DEFEND THINGS

386
00:13:42,821 --> 00:13:46,192
THAT HE OR SHE DOESN'T BELIEVE

387
00:13:46,258 --> 00:13:47,793
IN, BUT AT A BECAUSE

388
00:13:47,860 --> 00:13:48,460
ORGANIZATIONS LIKE THE ACLU, IT

389
00:13:48,527 --> 00:13:51,197
WASN'T SO MUCH YOU HAD TO HAVE

390
00:13:51,263 --> 00:13:52,131
AN ENTRANCE EXAM, BUT WHY WOULD

391
00:13:52,198 --> 00:13:55,034
YOU WANT TO HIRE SOMEBODY WHO

392
00:13:55,100 --> 00:13:58,671
DIDN'T AGREE WITH WHAT YOU WERE

393
00:13:58,737 --> 00:13:59,371
PUSHING?

394
00:13:59,438 --> 00:14:03,142
>> Bill: IT SEEMS LIKE --

395
00:14:03,209 --> 00:14:04,443
ORGANIZATIONS DO DRIFT.

396
00:14:04,510 --> 00:14:06,679
I MEAN, THE REPUBLICAN PARTY IS

397
00:14:06,745 --> 00:14:08,013
TO BE ABOUT SMALL GOVERNMENT AND

398
00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:11,083
LOWER TAXES, AND NOW IT'S BECOME

399
00:14:11,150 --> 00:14:12,985
AN AUTHORITARIAN PERSONALITY

400
00:14:13,052 --> 00:14:13,752
CULT.

401
00:14:13,819 --> 00:14:15,187
WE CALL THAT A DRIFT.

402
00:14:15,254 --> 00:14:17,156
WE SEE IT IN TELEVISION.

403
00:14:17,223 --> 00:14:18,557
NETWORKS DON'T EVEN DO WHAT

404
00:14:18,624 --> 00:14:20,759
THEIR NAME SAYS, LIKE MTV WAS

405
00:14:20,826 --> 00:14:21,193
MUSIC TELEVISION.

406
00:14:21,260 --> 00:14:23,662
THEY HAVE NO MORE MUSIC.

407
00:14:23,729 --> 00:14:25,798
THE LEARNING CHANNEL HAD SARAH

408
00:14:25,864 --> 00:14:26,465
PALIN ON.

409
00:14:26,532 --> 00:14:29,335
[LAUGHTER]

410
00:14:29,401 --> 00:14:31,437
>> THAT'S A LESSON.

411
00:14:31,503 --> 00:14:33,572
THAT'S A GOOD LESSON.

412
00:14:33,639 --> 00:14:38,410
YOU KNOW, THE ACLU HAS BECOME,

413
00:14:38,477 --> 00:14:41,447
NOT TOTALLY, THIS IS NOT 100 TO

414
00:14:41,513 --> 00:14:45,751
NOTHING, BUT THEY BECOME MORE OF

415
00:14:45,818 --> 00:14:47,286
A POLITICAL, PARTISAN, WHAT THEY

416
00:14:47,353 --> 00:14:49,922
CALL PROGRESSIVE ORGANIZATION.

417
00:14:49,989 --> 00:14:51,190
NOW, ORGANIZATIONS HAVE THE

418
00:14:51,257 --> 00:14:52,057
RIGHT TO CHANGE.

419
00:14:52,124 --> 00:14:52,992
THEY CAN DO THAT.

420
00:14:53,058 --> 00:14:54,893
BUT THE PROBLEM IS, THERE ISN'T

421
00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:56,395
ANY OTHER ACLU.

422
00:14:56,462 --> 00:14:58,731
IF THERE ISN'T SOMEBODY WHO IS

423
00:14:58,797 --> 00:14:59,632
PREPARED TO DEFEND WHAT YOU SAY

424
00:14:59,698 --> 00:15:02,768
AND PREPARED TO DEFEND WHAT THE

425
00:15:02,835 --> 00:15:06,438
NAZIS AND PREPARED TO DEFEND

426
00:15:06,505 --> 00:15:07,773
WHAT PEOPLE FOR ABORTION SAY AND

427
00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:09,742
PEOPLE WHO ARE AGAINST ABORTION

428
00:15:09,808 --> 00:15:11,310
SAY, THEN THE GOVERNMENT GETS TO

429
00:15:11,377 --> 00:15:12,444
DECIDE WHO CAN SPEAK, AND THAT

430
00:15:12,511 --> 00:15:14,980
IS THE MOST DANGEROUS THING --

431
00:15:15,047 --> 00:15:16,849
>> Bill: WELL, THE GOVERNMENT

432
00:15:16,915 --> 00:15:17,650
AND THE TECH COMPANIES ARE

433
00:15:17,716 --> 00:15:18,550
REALLY THE ONES WHO DECIDE THAT

434
00:15:18,617 --> 00:15:20,452
THESE DAYS.

435
00:15:20,519 --> 00:15:22,421
>> WELL, IT USED TO BE THE

436
00:15:22,488 --> 00:15:23,922
GOVERNMENT AND THE NEWSPAPERS.

437
00:15:23,989 --> 00:15:27,026
THAT'S TRUE.

438
00:15:27,092 --> 00:15:28,093
YOU CAN HAVE FOX NEWS, YOU CAN

439
00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:33,632
HAVE THE TIMES, YOU CAN HAVE THE

440
00:15:33,699 --> 00:15:35,534
NATION MAGAZINE, A THOUSAND

441
00:15:35,601 --> 00:15:35,968
FLOWERS BLOOM.

442
00:15:36,035 --> 00:15:36,935
BUT THE REAL DANGER TO CIVIL

443
00:15:37,002 --> 00:15:39,038
LIBERTIES AND THE REAL DANGER TO

444
00:15:39,104 --> 00:15:39,972
SPEECH IS LETTING THE GOVERNMENT

445
00:15:40,039 --> 00:15:42,975
PICK AND CHOOSE.

446
00:15:43,042 --> 00:15:44,410
IMAGINE TRUMP PICKING AND

447
00:15:44,476 --> 00:15:46,578
CHOOSING WHO GETS TO SPEAK.

448
00:15:46,645 --> 00:15:48,013
IMAGINE RUDY GIULIANI -- I DON'T

449
00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:49,548
HAVE TO IMAGINE IT, HE WAS MAYOR

450
00:15:49,615 --> 00:15:51,216
IN MY CITY FOR YEARS.

451
00:15:51,283 --> 00:15:53,719
WE FILED MORE FIRST AMENDMENT

452
00:15:53,786 --> 00:15:54,453
LAWSUITS AGAINST RUDY GIULIANI

453
00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:56,622
THAN ANY MAYOR IN THE HISTORY OF

454
00:15:56,689 --> 00:15:57,189
NEW YORK.

455
00:15:57,256 --> 00:15:58,357
HE DIDN'T LIKE A PAINTING IN THE

456
00:15:58,424 --> 00:16:00,693
MUSEUM, HE TRIED TO GET RID OF

457
00:16:00,759 --> 00:16:01,460
IT.

458
00:16:01,527 --> 00:16:01,827
>> Bill: WRITES.

459
00:16:01,894 --> 00:16:03,329
>> YOU

460
00:16:03,395 --> 00:16:08,133
CAN'T ALLOW THE GOVERNMENT TO PE

461
00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:09,768
WHAT SPEECH IS ALLOWED AND THE

462
00:16:09,835 --> 00:16:11,337
ONLY WAY TO DO THAT IS DEFEND

463
00:16:11,403 --> 00:16:12,171
SPEECH NO MATTER WHAT THE

464
00:16:12,237 --> 00:16:14,306
CONTENT IS.

465
00:16:14,373 --> 00:16:14,573
[APPLAUSE]

466
00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:17,476
>> Bill: YES.

467
00:16:17,543 --> 00:16:19,678
I MEAN, ALL THE THINGS YOU

468
00:16:19,745 --> 00:16:20,212
MENTIONED, YOU ARE RIGHT.

469
00:16:20,279 --> 00:16:23,015
THEY ARE THREATS TO FREE SPEECH.

470
00:16:23,082 --> 00:16:25,050
I ALSO THINK THIS IDEA THAT

471
00:16:25,117 --> 00:16:28,354
FEELINGS ARE THE MOST IMPORTANT

472
00:16:28,420 --> 00:16:28,954
THING IS A GREAT THREAT TO --

473
00:16:29,021 --> 00:16:34,193
>> WELL, YOU KNOW, I'M JEWISH

474
00:16:34,259 --> 00:16:36,395
AND I HAD RELATIVES WHO WERE

475
00:16:36,462 --> 00:16:40,032
VICTIMS OF THE HOLOCAUST.

476
00:16:40,099 --> 00:16:46,872
AND I KNOW WHAT FEELINGS WERE

477
00:16:46,939 --> 00:16:47,406
GENERATED BY THE HOLOCAUST

478
00:16:47,473 --> 00:16:50,809
SURVIVORS IN SKOKIE WHEN PEOPLE

479
00:16:50,876 --> 00:16:51,744
WITH SWASTIKAS ON THEIR ARM CAME

480
00:16:51,810 --> 00:16:55,681
TO DEMONSTRATE IN THAT TOWN.

481
00:16:55,748 --> 00:16:56,749
NOTHING COULD BE WORSE THAN

482
00:16:56,815 --> 00:17:00,018
THAT, EXCEPT POSSIBLY HOW BLACK

483
00:17:00,085 --> 00:17:02,087
PEOPLE FELT IN MISSISSIPPI WHEN

484
00:17:02,154 --> 00:17:04,289
PEOPLE RAN AROUND WITH WHITE

485
00:17:04,356 --> 00:17:06,325
SHEETS AND PILLOWCASES ON THEIR

486
00:17:06,392 --> 00:17:06,925
HEAD AND DEMONSTRATED.

487
00:17:06,992 --> 00:17:10,396
THOSE ARE REAL FEELINGS.

488
00:17:10,462 --> 00:17:12,030
BUT I ONCE HEARD A PROPOSAL IN

489
00:17:12,097 --> 00:17:14,166
THE ACLU WHEN I WAS THERE THAT

490
00:17:14,233 --> 00:17:17,803
SAID, WHY DON'T WE SAY THAT IT'S

491
00:17:17,870 --> 00:17:18,537
ALL RIGHT TO PROHIBIT SPEECH

492
00:17:18,604 --> 00:17:21,340
THAT CAUSES EMOTIONAL STRESS?

493
00:17:21,407 --> 00:17:24,610
AND I REMEMBER LOOKING AT THE

494
00:17:24,676 --> 00:17:25,444
PERSON WHO SUGGESTED THAT AND

495
00:17:25,511 --> 00:17:28,013
SAID, YOU KNOW, EVERY TIME I

496
00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:29,481
OPEN MY MOUTH I'M LOOKING TO

497
00:17:29,548 --> 00:17:31,817
CAUSE EMOTIONAL STRESS.

498
00:17:31,884 --> 00:17:34,119
[LAUGHTER]

499
00:17:34,186 --> 00:17:38,791
AND I'M ABOUT TO DO IT AGAIN.

500
00:17:38,857 --> 00:17:40,592
YOU KNOW, BUCKLEY'S WIFE AND A

501
00:17:40,659 --> 00:17:41,994
DINNER WE WERE AT ONCE SAID TO

502
00:17:42,060 --> 00:17:43,562
ME, I USED TO BE ON HIS SHOW A

503
00:17:43,629 --> 00:17:47,433
LOT AND SHE SAID TO ME, WHY ARE

504
00:17:47,499 --> 00:17:50,035
YOU SO MEAN TO MY HUSBAND, BILL,

505
00:17:50,102 --> 00:17:50,569
SHE SAID.

506
00:17:50,636 --> 00:17:51,737
I SAID PAT, HE SAYS SUCH

507
00:17:51,804 --> 00:17:54,406
TERRIBLE THINGS.

508
00:17:54,473 --> 00:17:55,474
AND IT WOULD BE IRRATIONAL NOT

509
00:17:55,541 --> 00:17:56,575
TO BE MEAN TO HIM.

510
00:17:56,642 --> 00:17:59,978
THAT IS WHAT I DO FOR A LIVING.

511
00:18:00,045 --> 00:18:01,180
[LAUGHTER]

512
00:18:01,246 --> 00:18:03,649
AND SO, FOR THE ACLU TO DECIDE

513
00:18:03,715 --> 00:18:06,418
THAT THAT KIND OF STUFF NEEDS TO

514
00:18:06,485 --> 00:18:08,987
BE PROHIBITED, RESTRICTED OR

515
00:18:09,054 --> 00:18:12,257
THEY ARE NOT GOING TO DEFEND IT

516
00:18:12,324 --> 00:18:14,326
IS TO DENY WHAT THE ACLU IS

517
00:18:14,393 --> 00:18:18,030
THERE FOR AND WHAT HAS BEEN

518
00:18:18,096 --> 00:18:19,665
THERE A FOR EVER SINCE IT WAS

519
00:18:19,731 --> 00:18:20,032
CREATED IN 1920.

520
00:18:20,098 --> 00:18:23,001
>> Bill: I HOPE EVERYONE SEES

521
00:18:23,068 --> 00:18:26,405
THE DOCUMENTARY "MIGHTY IRA" AND

522
00:18:26,472 --> 00:18:28,907
YOU CERTAINLY ARE AND I AM GLAD

523
00:18:28,974 --> 00:18:29,508
YOU ARE HERE TALKING ABOUT IT

524
00:18:29,575 --> 00:18:32,411
BECAUSE WE NEED YOU.

525
00:18:32,478 --> 00:18:33,212
IRA GLASSER.

526

00:18:40,385 --> 00:18:42,387
>> Bill: HELLO, EVERYBODY.

529
00:18:42,454 --> 00:18:43,722
OKAY, HERE THEY ARE.

530
00:18:43,789 --> 00:18:44,523
HE'S THE HOST OF

531
00:18:44,590 --> 00:18:45,757

TWO PODCASTS!

536
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:56,468
I KNOW EVERYONE IN AMERICA GETS

537
00:18:56,535 --> 00:18:57,769
ONE BUT YOU HAVE TWO.

538
00:18:57,836 --> 00:18:58,704
SHE'S THE FORMER SENIOR DIRECTOR

>> Bill: OKAY, GREAT TO SEE

549
00:19:16,121 --> 00:19:16,355
YOU BOTH.

550
00:19:16,421 --> 00:19:19,358
LAST WEEK WE WERE TALKING ABOUT

551
00:19:19,424 --> 00:19:20,359
COVID AT THE BEGINNING OF THE

552
00:19:20,425 --> 00:19:20,559
SHOW.

553
00:19:20,626 --> 00:19:22,094
WE ARE GOING TO DO IT AGAIN

554
00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:23,362
BECAUSE WE ARE HAVING A BIG

555
00:19:23,428 --> 00:19:26,532
NATIONAL DEBATE HERE ABOUT I

556
00:19:26,598 --> 00:19:27,432
THINK LIFE AND DEATH AND WHAT

557
00:19:27,499 --> 00:19:29,468
SHOULD WE DO MOVING FORWARD AND

558
00:19:29,535 --> 00:19:32,304
WHO IS BEING SELFISH OR NOT, SO

559
00:19:32,371 --> 00:19:33,805
A LOT OF PEOPLE ATTACK ME BUT I

560
00:19:33,872 --> 00:19:37,976
JUST WANT TO SAY MY OPINION, WE

561
00:19:38,043 --> 00:19:39,311
SHOULD GET BACK TO NORMAL.

562
00:19:39,378 --> 00:19:43,015
I AM IN GOOD IF I'M CRAZY.

563
00:19:43,081 --> 00:19:44,583
BECAUSE THE GOVERNOR OF

564
00:19:44,650 --> 00:19:45,183
PENNSYLVANIA, HE'S A DEMOCRAT,

565
00:19:45,250 --> 00:19:48,287
HE SAID THIS WEEK I THINK

566
00:19:48,353 --> 00:19:50,155
EVERYBODY'S ANGRY, IT'S BEEN TWO

567
00:19:50,222 --> 00:19:50,556
YEARS NOW.

568
00:19:50,622 --> 00:19:52,057
WE ARE FATIGUED AND READY TO

569
00:19:52,124 --> 00:19:52,958
MOVE ON.

570
00:19:53,025 --> 00:19:54,593
I THINK A LOT OF POLITICAL

571
00:19:54,660 --> 00:19:56,128
VECTORS ARE REFLECTING THAT.

572
00:19:56,194 --> 00:19:56,328
OKAY.

573
00:19:56,395 --> 00:20:00,299
I SEE DENMARK, I MENTIONED LAST

574
00:20:00,365 --> 00:20:00,899
WEEK, THE U.K., BORIS JOHNSON

575
00:20:00,966 --> 00:20:03,602
SAID WE ARE OPENING BACK UP.

576
00:20:03,669 --> 00:20:05,370
NOW I SEE THE PRIME MINISTER OF

577
00:20:05,437 --> 00:20:06,605
DENMARK SAID, WE SAY GOODBYE TO

578
00:20:06,672 --> 00:20:07,506
THE RESTRICTIONS AND WELCOME THE

579
00:20:07,573 --> 00:20:10,842
LIFE WE KNEW BEFORE.

580
00:20:10,909 --> 00:20:13,011
AS OF FEBRUARY 1ST, DENMARK WILL

581
00:20:13,078 --> 00:20:15,847
REOPEN.

582
00:20:15,914 --> 00:20:16,982
MATT, I WANTED TO READ YOUR

583
00:20:17,049 --> 00:20:18,584
QUOTE, I THOUGHT IT WAS REALLY

584
00:20:18,650 --> 00:20:19,217
INTERESTING IN YOUR ARTICLE, YOU

585
00:20:19,284 --> 00:20:22,120
WERE TALKING ABOUT KIDS AND YOU

586
00:20:22,187 --> 00:20:24,423
SAID THAT, WE NEED RELIEF FROM

587
00:20:24,489 --> 00:20:26,625
THE RESTRICTIONS IMPOSED BY

588
00:20:26,692 --> 00:20:29,895
NEUROTIC STATISTS AND ULTIMATELY

589
00:20:29,962 --> 00:20:30,562
SELFISH ADULTS.

590
00:20:30,629 --> 00:20:31,997
[APPLAUSE]

591
00:20:32,064 --> 00:20:33,932
I WOULD AGREE WITH THAT, AND

592
00:20:33,999 --> 00:20:35,434
PARTICULARLY I'M INTERESTED IN

593
00:20:35,500 --> 00:20:38,437
THE WORD "SELFISH" BECAUSE IT'S

594
00:20:38,503 --> 00:20:39,338
ALWAYS LOVED PEOPLE WHO ARE

595
00:20:39,404 --> 00:20:41,340
SAYING THAT WE ARE, THAT WE WANT

596
00:20:41,406 --> 00:20:42,674
TO REOPEN, THAT WE ARE THE

597
00:20:42,741 --> 00:20:43,508
SELFISH ONES.

598
00:20:43,575 --> 00:20:45,143
IF YOU ARE FOR MAXIMUM SAFETY IN

599
00:20:45,210 --> 00:20:46,678
ALL SITUATIONS YOU WERE THE GOOD

600
00:20:46,745 --> 00:20:48,747
PEOPLE IN THIS IS SELFISH.

601
00:20:48,814 --> 00:20:50,415
IT'S A GREAT QUESTION, WHO IS

602
00:20:50,482 --> 00:20:52,117
REALLY BEING SELFISH AT THIS

603
00:20:52,184 --> 00:20:52,317
POINT?

604
00:20:52,384 --> 00:20:53,785
>> THE PEOPLE WHO ARE WANTING TO

605
00:20:53,852 --> 00:20:55,587
KEEP SCHOOLS CLOSED, THERE ARE

606
00:20:55,654 --> 00:20:57,055
STILL CLOSED IN FLINT, MICHIGAN,

607
00:20:57,122 --> 00:20:58,390
WHO HAVE PERSONNEL PROBLEMS AS

608
00:20:58,457 --> 00:20:58,590
WELL.

609
00:20:58,657 --> 00:21:00,292
BUT PEOPLE WHO WANT TO IMPOSE

610
00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:02,761
THE TYPES OF RULES THAT ARE NOT

611
00:21:02,828 --> 00:21:03,929
BEING FOLLOWED OR RECOMMENDED

612
00:21:03,996 --> 00:21:05,631
PRETTY MUCH ANYWHERE ELSE IN THE

613
00:21:05,697 --> 00:21:06,431
WORLD.

614
00:21:06,498 --> 00:21:07,933
THE WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION

615
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:10,802
SAYS DON'T MASK KIDS UNDER 5.

616
00:21:10,869 --> 00:21:12,571
NEW YORK AND 14 OTHER STATES,

617
00:21:12,638 --> 00:21:14,973
ALL OF WHICH VOTED FOR JOE BIDEN

618
00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:17,876
INCIDENTALLY, FOLLOWED THE CDC

619
00:21:17,943 --> 00:21:19,578
GUIDELINES, MASK FROM AGE 2.

620
00:21:19,645 --> 00:21:20,979
MY DAUGHTER WHO JUST

621
00:21:21,046 --> 00:21:22,080
TURNED 7 THIS WEEK HAS BEEN

622
00:21:22,147 --> 00:21:24,650
WEARING A MASK FOR 30% OF HER

623
00:21:24,716 --> 00:21:26,985
LIFE, AND IN JANUARY, AS OLD

624
00:21:27,052 --> 00:21:29,921
MICRON IS THANKFULLY SHAPED AS A

625
00:21:29,988 --> 00:21:37,162
STEEPLE, AS O OMICRON WAS

626
00:21:37,229 --> 00:21:38,196
UPDATING, YOU HAVE TO WEAR A

627
00:21:38,263 --> 00:21:39,831
MASK EVERY DAY IN YOUR SCHOOL

628
00:21:39,898 --> 00:21:41,133
WHERE EVERY KID IS VACCINATED

629
00:21:41,199 --> 00:21:42,567
AND EVERY TEACHER IS VACCINATED.

630
00:21:42,634 --> 00:21:43,902
WHO ARE WE PROTECTING IN THAT

631
00:21:43,969 --> 00:21:44,169
SCENARIO?

632
00:21:44,236 --> 00:21:48,173
WE DON'T REALIZE WHERE WE ARE

633
00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:49,941
DEPARTING FROM BASIC SCIENTIFIC

634
00:21:50,008 --> 00:21:50,709
UNDERSTANDINGS OF THINGS AND

635
00:21:50,776 --> 00:21:52,310
GETTING INTO OUR OWN

636
00:21:52,377 --> 00:21:53,945
UNDERSTANDABLE AT FIRST SENSE OF

637
00:21:54,012 --> 00:21:55,414
FEAR AND PANIC.

638
00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:56,014
BUT WE ARE ADULTS.

639
00:21:56,081 --> 00:21:58,684
WE HAVE TO ASSESS RISKS.

640
00:21:58,750 --> 00:21:59,818
WE HAVE NOT BEEN DOING THAT AND

641
00:21:59,885 --> 00:22:01,386
WE'VE BEEN INFLICTING IT ON THE

642
00:22:01,453 --> 00:22:03,155
MOST VULNERABLE POPULATION, AND

643
00:22:03,221 --> 00:22:04,723
IT'S A DISASTER.

644
00:22:04,790 --> 00:22:05,323
IT'S BEEN REALLY, REALLY BAD.

645
00:22:05,390 --> 00:22:07,993
[APPLAUSE]

646
00:22:08,060 --> 00:22:08,527
>> Bill: OKAY WITH THAT?

647
00:22:08,593 --> 00:22:12,931
>> YEAH.

648
00:22:12,998 --> 00:22:16,768
>> Bill: WELL, DAVID LEONHARDT

649
00:22:16,835 --> 00:22:18,904
I THINK IN "THE NEW YORK TIMES,"

650
00:22:18,970 --> 00:22:20,605
THE ONLY SANE VOICE THERE IN MY

651
00:22:20,672 --> 00:22:22,607
VIEW, FANTASTIC.

652
00:22:22,674 --> 00:22:24,543
HERE'S A GREAT QUOTE FROM HIM.

653
00:22:24,609 --> 00:22:26,812
THIS WEEK HE WROTE, MILLIONS OF

654
00:22:26,878 --> 00:22:27,379
DEMOCRATS HAVE DECIDED THAT

655
00:22:27,446 --> 00:22:30,916
ORGANIZING THEIR LIVES AROUND

656
00:22:30,982 --> 00:22:33,251
COVID IS CORE TO THEIR IDENTITY

657
00:22:33,318 --> 00:22:33,952
AS PROGRESSIVE'S.

658
00:22:34,019 --> 00:22:35,921
THAT'S REALLY A KEY TO THIS.

659
00:22:35,987 --> 00:22:36,988
BECAUSE AGAIN, THESE ARE THE

660
00:22:37,055 --> 00:22:38,890
SCIENCE PEOPLE AND THEY ARE NOT

661
00:22:38,957 --> 00:22:41,693
LISTENING TO BASIC SCIENCE.

662
00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:45,731
I SEE PEOPLE IN CARS ALONE, IN A

663
00:22:45,797 --> 00:22:46,698
CAR, WITH THE MASK.

664
00:22:46,765 --> 00:22:48,333
DID THEY THINK THEY ARE GOING TO

665
00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:51,169
GET IT FROM THE RADIO?

666
00:22:51,236 --> 00:22:52,003
[LAUGHTER]

667
00:22:52,070 --> 00:22:59,344
[APPLAUSE]

668
00:22:59,411 --> 00:23:01,613
>> THEY MIGHT BE WANTING TO BE

669
00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:02,714
INCOGNITO.

670
00:23:02,781 --> 00:23:03,749
I HAVE TO SAY, I HAVE PUT THE

671
00:23:03,815 --> 00:23:06,118
MASK ON WHEN I DON'T WANT ANYONE

672
00:23:06,184 --> 00:23:07,552
TO KNOW IT'S ME GOING BY.

673
00:23:07,619 --> 00:23:09,187
HAVEN'T YOU DONE THAT?

674
00:23:09,254 --> 00:23:10,956
>> THE LEVEL OF NOTORIETY.

675
00:23:11,022 --> 00:23:13,391
>> I HAVE DONE THAT, I HAVE TO

676
00:23:13,458 --> 00:23:13,625
CONFESS.

677
00:23:13,692 --> 00:23:17,329
>> Bill: BUT WHY CAN'T WE

678
00:23:17,395 --> 00:23:20,465
PRECISELY TARGET, AND I DON'T

679
00:23:20,532 --> 00:23:22,768
MEAN TARGET, PROTECT THE PEOPLE

680
00:23:22,834 --> 00:23:24,002
WHO ARE VULNERABLE AND LET

681
00:23:24,069 --> 00:23:24,603
SOCIETY GET BACK?

682
00:23:24,669 --> 00:23:29,908
HERE'S WHAT I DON'T UNDERSTAND,

683
00:23:29,975 --> 00:23:32,144
LANCET CAME OUT THIS WEEK, UP TO

684
00:23:32,210 --> 00:23:34,012
90%, THEIR HEAD GUY SAID, I

685
00:23:34,079 --> 00:23:36,515
THINK IT WAS THEIR HEAD GUY,

686
00:23:36,581 --> 00:23:39,217
SAID OMICRON PEOPLE WHO HAVE IT,

687
00:23:39,284 --> 00:23:39,985
ASYMPTOMATIC.

688
00:23:40,051 --> 00:23:42,654
WITH THE OTHER VARIANTS IT WAS

689
00:23:42,721 --> 00:23:44,055
LIKE 40%.

690
00:23:44,122 --> 00:23:45,357
EVEN 40%, THINK ABOUT THAT.

691
00:23:45,423 --> 00:23:48,393
THE HORRIBLE DELTA, THE HORRIBLE

692
00:23:48,460 --> 00:23:50,695
COVID CLASSIC.

693
00:23:50,762 --> 00:23:51,363
[LAUGHTER]

694
00:23:51,429 --> 00:23:52,898
ALMOST HALF THE PEOPLE NEVER

695
00:23:52,964 --> 00:23:54,533
EVEN KNEW THEY HAD IT.

696
00:23:54,599 --> 00:23:56,902
THAT NEVER HAPPENED WITH

697
00:23:56,968 --> 00:23:58,937
SMALLPOX.

698
00:23:59,004 --> 00:24:01,339
OKAY, NOW HE SAYS, OMICRON, UP

699
00:24:01,406 --> 00:24:03,575
TO 90% COULD BE ASYMPTOMATIC.

700
00:24:03,642 --> 00:24:04,976
AND I KNOW SO MANY PEOPLE WHO

701
00:24:05,043 --> 00:24:06,077
HAVE HAD IT BECAUSE IT'S

702
00:24:06,144 --> 00:24:06,845
EVERYWHERE.

703
00:24:06,912 --> 00:24:10,015
AND THEY ARE LIKE, IT'S NOTHING.

704
00:24:10,081 --> 00:24:11,750
I'VE HAD HANGOVERS THAT WERE

705
00:24:11,817 --> 00:24:11,950
WORSE.

706
00:24:12,017 --> 00:24:13,285
[LAUGHTER]

707
00:24:13,351 --> 00:24:13,518
REALLY.

708
00:24:13,585 --> 00:24:16,621
BUT I ALSO KNOW THAT PEOPLE ARE

709
00:24:16,688 --> 00:24:17,055
STILL DYING.

710
00:24:17,122 --> 00:24:19,191
HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE A DAY.

711
00:24:19,257 --> 00:24:20,992
I WANT TO KNOW HOW BOTH THINGS

712
00:24:21,059 --> 00:24:23,395
CAN BE POSSIBLE, SO I'M

713
00:24:23,461 --> 00:24:25,564
ASKING -- I'VE GOT, WHO IS

714
00:24:25,630 --> 00:24:26,331
DYING.

715
00:24:26,398 --> 00:24:31,970
99% FROM JUNE 2021 OF COVID-19

716
00:24:32,037 --> 00:24:34,139
DEATHS, UNVACCINATED.

717
00:24:34,206 --> 00:24:35,540
78%, I READ THIS BEFORE, OF THE

718
00:24:35,607 --> 00:24:39,177
PEOPLE HOSPITALIZED OR DIED,

719
00:24:39,244 --> 00:24:39,911
OVERWEIGHT OR OBESE.

720
00:24:39,978 --> 00:24:45,483
PEOPLE OVER 65 MAKE UP 75% OF

721
00:24:45,550 --> 00:24:46,518
ALL COVID DEATHS.

722
00:24:46,585 --> 00:24:47,953
IN OTHER WORDS, WE COULD BE MORE

723
00:24:48,019 --> 00:24:51,756
PRECISE ABOUT THIS.

724
00:24:51,823 --> 00:24:52,757
WE COULD PINPOINT AND HELP

725
00:24:52,824 --> 00:24:53,959
PROTECT THE PEOPLE WHO ARE

726
00:24:54,025 --> 00:24:54,659
VULNERABLE IN THE REST OF US GO

727
00:24:54,726 --> 00:24:57,963
BACK TO LIFE, IT SEEMS TO ME,

728
00:24:58,029 --> 00:24:58,830
AND WE DON'T DO THAT.

729
00:24:58,897 --> 00:24:59,197
WHY?

730
00:24:59,264 --> 00:25:00,799
>> I THINK IT'S PARTLY THE WAY

731
00:25:00,866 --> 00:25:02,267
WE'VE STARTED TO TALK ABOUT IT.

732
00:25:02,334 --> 00:25:04,302
YOU'VE ALREADY TOUCHED ON IT,

733
00:25:04,369 --> 00:25:05,203
YOU JUST SAID PART OF THE

734
00:25:05,270 --> 00:25:08,306
PROBLEM IS THE DEMOCRATS ON THE

735
00:25:08,373 --> 00:25:10,141
ONE HAND THINK ONE THING, OF

736
00:25:10,208 --> 00:25:11,376
COURSE WE KNOW THAT ON THE

737
00:25:11,443 --> 00:25:12,744
OTHER, REPUBLICANS.

738
00:25:12,811 --> 00:25:14,379
I WAS LITERALLY IN A COFFEE SHOP

739
00:25:14,446 --> 00:25:15,647
UP IN WISCONSIN WHEN I WAS

740
00:25:15,714 --> 00:25:16,548
VISITING SOME OF MY IN-LAWS AND

741
00:25:16,615 --> 00:25:19,551
THE GUY IN FRONT OF ME, I WAS

742
00:25:19,618 --> 00:25:20,552
WEARING A MASK BECAUSE THIS WAS

743
00:25:20,619 --> 00:25:22,354
IN THE PEAK OF THE

744
00:25:22,420 --> 00:25:23,421
DELTA VARIANT, AND THE GUY SAID

745
00:25:23,488 --> 00:25:24,990
TO HIS FRIEND, OF COURSE I'M NOT

746
00:25:25,056 --> 00:25:26,491
GOING TO GET VACCINATED OR WEAR

747
00:25:26,558 --> 00:25:30,128
A MASK BECAUSE I'M REPUBLICAN.

748
00:25:30,195 --> 00:25:30,795
AND I IMMEDIATELY THOUGHT WHAT?

749
00:25:30,862 --> 00:25:32,764
HOW ARE WE MAKING THESE

750
00:25:32,831 --> 00:25:34,266
DECISIONS BASED ON A PARTISAN

751
00:25:34,332 --> 00:25:34,466
BASIS?

752
00:25:34,532 --> 00:25:36,534
THAT IS WHAT YOU ARE GETTING AT

753
00:25:36,601 --> 00:25:37,102
HERE, PEOPLE ARE ACTUALLY

754
00:25:37,168 --> 00:25:40,171
LOOKING AT IDENTITY POLITICS,

755
00:25:40,238 --> 00:25:40,839
PERSONAL POLITICAL PREFERENCES.

756
00:25:40,906 --> 00:25:43,008
WE'VE GOT SO POLARIZED WE ARE

757
00:25:43,074 --> 00:25:43,642
NOT MAKING RATIONAL JUDGMENTS.

758
00:25:43,708 --> 00:25:46,378
I AM PROBABLY WITH YOU GUYS, MY

759
00:25:46,444 --> 00:25:48,380
DAUGHTER WHO IS 15, VERSUS MY

760
00:25:48,446 --> 00:25:49,147
MOTHER WHO IS 87.

761
00:25:49,214 --> 00:25:50,515
I HAVEN'T SEEN MY MOTHER IN MORE

762
00:25:50,582 --> 00:25:50,882
THAN TWO YEARS.

763
00:25:50,949 --> 00:25:53,718
SHE IS NOW IN A RESIDENTIAL HOME

764
00:25:53,785 --> 00:25:55,120
IN THE U.K., BUT SHE IS

765
00:25:55,186 --> 00:25:55,620
OBVIOUSLY AT RISK.

766
00:25:55,687 --> 00:25:58,123
WHERE'S MY DAUGHTER IS IN A

767
00:25:58,189 --> 00:25:59,524
COMPLETELY DIFFERENT CATEGORY,

768
00:25:59,591 --> 00:26:00,492
SO WE NEED TO HAVE A SENSIBLE

769
00:26:00,558 --> 00:26:01,059
CONVERSATION ABOUT THAT NOT

770
00:26:01,126 --> 00:26:03,028
BASED ON WHAT MY POLITICAL

771
00:26:03,094 --> 00:26:03,995
PREFERENCE IS.

772
00:26:04,062 --> 00:26:05,463
>> Bill: THAT WE PROTECT THE

773
00:26:05,530 --> 00:26:06,898
PEOPLE -- I WOULD SPEND ANY

774
00:26:06,965 --> 00:26:07,966
AMOUNT OF TAX MONEY TO DO THAT,

775
00:26:08,033 --> 00:26:09,334
THE PEOPLE WHO WERE TRULY

776
00:26:09,401 --> 00:26:11,636
VULNERABLE.

777
00:26:11,703 --> 00:26:14,572
STEPHEN BREYER DOESN'T WANT TO

778
00:26:14,639 --> 00:26:21,780
WORK WITH C NEIL GORSUCH BECAUSE

779
00:26:21,846 --> 00:26:24,049
HE WON'T WEAR A MASK.

780
00:26:24,115 --> 00:26:25,784
HE'S 83, I AGREE WITH THAT.

781
00:26:25,850 --> 00:26:27,585
BUT THIS IS NOT A COUNTRY WHERE

782
00:26:27,652 --> 00:26:28,987
MOST PEOPLE ARE AROUND AND

783
00:26:29,054 --> 00:26:29,888
83-YEAR-OLD.

784
00:26:29,955 --> 00:26:30,889
IT JUST ISN'T, BECAUSE WE ARE IN

785
00:26:30,956 --> 00:26:32,691
A JUST COUNTRY.

786
00:26:32,757 --> 00:26:34,693
[APPLAUSE]

787
00:26:34,759 --> 00:26:35,927
SPEAK I WOULD ALSO

788
00:26:35,994 --> 00:26:37,796
LIKE TO -- IT'S COMPLETELY RIGHT

789
00:26:37,862 --> 00:26:40,732
WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE DIFFERENT F

790
00:26:40,799 --> 00:26:41,466
POLICIES OF MASKING, VACCINE

791
00:26:41,533 --> 00:26:43,935
MANDATES AND WHATEVER YOU PEOPLE

792
00:26:44,002 --> 00:26:46,805
HAD TO DO TO GET INTO THIS

793
00:26:46,871 --> 00:26:48,206
BUILDING TODAY BY CALIFORNIA

794
00:26:48,273 --> 00:26:50,408
LAW, UNSPEAKABLE ACTS ON

795
00:26:50,475 --> 00:26:51,309
FAIRFAX.

796
00:26:51,376 --> 00:26:52,610
BUT NO, IT'S BASED ON

797
00:26:52,677 --> 00:26:53,411
PARTISANSHIP.

798
00:26:53,478 --> 00:26:54,579
IT'S BASED ON WHO YOU VOTE FOR

799
00:26:54,646 --> 00:26:55,914
IN THE ELECTION, WHICH IS

800
00:26:55,981 --> 00:26:56,348
BANANAS TO ME.

801
00:26:56,414 --> 00:26:57,782
SOMEONE WHO IS NOT PART OF THAT,

802
00:26:57,849 --> 00:26:59,918
I WOULD LIKE TO PROPOSE THIS

803
00:26:59,985 --> 00:27:01,152
KIND OF SEMITRUCE.

804
00:27:01,219 --> 00:27:03,755
EACH SIDE, TEAM RED INTIME BLUE

805
00:27:03,822 --> 00:27:05,423
DID ONE GOOD THING, ONE BIG

806
00:27:05,490 --> 00:27:07,325
THING GREAT AND ONE THING

807
00:27:07,392 --> 00:27:07,959
TERRIBLE.

808
00:27:08,026 --> 00:27:09,327
TEAM BLUE, YOU DID SO GREAT ON

809
00:27:09,394 --> 00:27:11,496
THE THING THAT MATTERS THE MOST,

810
00:27:11,563 --> 00:27:12,597
YOU GOT VACCINATED.

811
00:27:12,664 --> 00:27:13,198
IT'S THE GREATEST PROTECTION

812
00:27:13,264 --> 00:27:15,734
POSSIBLE AGAINST THIS THING.

813
00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:17,035
GET THE VACCINE, YOU'RE PROBABLY

814
00:27:17,102 --> 00:27:18,103
NOT GOING TO DIE FOR HEALTHY.

815
00:27:18,169 --> 00:27:21,373
>> Bill: 80% OF REPUBLICANS

816
00:27:21,439 --> 00:27:21,973
OVER 65 GOT THE SHOT.

817
00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:23,575
>> BUT THAT IS STILL NOT ENOUGH

818
00:27:23,641 --> 00:27:24,776
AND A LOT OF THE PLACES THAT ARE

819
00:27:24,843 --> 00:27:25,977
GETTING HURT RIGHT NOW,

820
00:27:26,044 --> 00:27:28,580
REPUBLICANS DIDN'T DO THAT STUFF

821
00:27:28,646 --> 00:27:29,614
GOOD, BUT REPUBLICANS DID KEEP

822
00:27:29,681 --> 00:27:32,517
SCHOOLS OPEN, DIDN'T ISSUE

823
00:27:32,584 --> 00:27:33,218
VACCINE MANDATES TO GO INTO A

824
00:27:33,284 --> 00:27:35,620
BAR.

825
00:27:35,687 --> 00:27:36,955
NEW YORK, YOU'RE FIVE YEARS OLD,

826
00:27:37,022 --> 00:27:38,356
YOU CAN'T GO INSIDE AN INDOOR

827
00:27:38,423 --> 00:27:38,923
BUILDING EVEN THOUGH YOU'RE

828
00:27:38,990 --> 00:27:41,593
COMING FROM EUROPE, YOU CAN'T

829
00:27:41,659 --> 00:27:43,161
GET A VACCINE IN EUROPE THERE.

830
00:27:43,228 --> 00:27:44,696
THERE ARE ALL KINDS OF MAD

831
00:27:44,763 --> 00:27:45,964
THINGS THAT HAVE HAPPENED.

832
00:27:46,031 --> 00:27:47,432
IN BLUE STATES THEY GOT THAT

833
00:27:47,499 --> 00:27:47,966
WRONG.

834
00:27:48,033 --> 00:27:49,601
CAN WE ALL SAY THAT WE ALL DID,

835
00:27:49,667 --> 00:27:51,236
AND I DID TOO, WE ALL GOT STUFF

836
00:27:51,302 --> 00:27:51,669
WRONG.

837
00:27:51,736 --> 00:27:52,704
IN THE MEANTIME CAN YOU GET RID

838
00:27:52,771 --> 00:27:54,039
OF SOME OF THESE MANDATES WE

839
00:27:54,105 --> 00:27:57,008
DON'T NEED ANY MORE AFTER THE

840
00:27:57,075 --> 00:27:58,376
OMICRON STEEPLE GOES DOWN, AND

841
00:27:58,443 --> 00:27:59,544
THEN ALSO GET VACCINATED AND

842
00:27:59,611 --> 00:28:00,578
THEN WE CAN GET BACK --

843
00:28:00,645 --> 00:28:02,013
>> Bill: BUT THERE'S GOING TO

844
00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:02,814
BE ANOTHER VARIANT.

845
00:28:02,881 --> 00:28:04,549
EVERY TIME ONE GOES AWAY WE ARE

846
00:28:04,616 --> 00:28:05,216
LIKE, NOW WE ARE OUT OF IT.

847
00:28:05,283 --> 00:28:07,385
WE ARE NEVER OUT OF IT.

848
00:28:07,452 --> 00:28:08,620
WE ARE NEVER OUT OF IT.

849
00:28:08,686 --> 00:28:09,988
IT WANTS TO LIVE AND IT WILL.

850
00:28:10,055 --> 00:28:12,323
IT'S A VIRUS, IT'S GOING TO

851
00:28:12,390 --> 00:28:14,926
EVOLVE, AND WE CAN'T BE LIKE

852
00:28:14,993 --> 00:28:16,394
OKAY, IT'S WHAT WE SAID ABOUT

853
00:28:16,461 --> 00:28:16,861
DELTA.

854
00:28:16,928 --> 00:28:17,896
WHEN THAT GOES AWAY.

855
00:28:17,962 --> 00:28:19,597
THAT CAN'T BE THE TEMPLATE, I'M

856
00:28:19,664 --> 00:28:19,864
SORRY.

857
00:28:19,931 --> 00:28:23,301
IT HAS TO BE, IT'S HERE, IT'S

858
00:28:23,368 --> 00:28:25,703
A --

859
00:28:25,770 --> 00:28:29,674
[LAUGHS]

860
00:28:29,741 --> 00:28:31,209
>> Bill: AND I DON'T NEED MORE

861
00:28:31,276 --> 00:28:31,709
CONTROVERSY.

862
00:28:31,776 --> 00:28:33,445
>> WE HAVE THE PROTECTION FOR

863
00:28:33,511 --> 00:28:34,946
EXPERIENCE BECAUSE THAT IS THE

864
00:28:35,013 --> 00:28:35,613
MAIN ARGUMENT, WE HAVE THE

865
00:28:35,680 --> 00:28:37,715
PROTECTION FOR IT SO WE SHOULD

866
00:28:37,782 --> 00:28:40,585
BE ABLE TO -- AFTER THE ICU BEDS

867
00:28:40,652 --> 00:28:42,053
ARE NO LONGER FELT WE SHOULD BE

868
00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:42,320
ABLE TO --

869
00:28:42,387 --> 00:28:45,457
>> Bill: AGAIN, WHICH CHANGE,

870
00:28:45,523 --> 00:28:46,424
THE VACCINE DOESN'T STOP YOU

871
00:28:46,491 --> 00:28:48,426
FROM GETTING IT AND DOESN'T STOP

872
00:28:48,493 --> 00:28:49,027
YOU FROM TRANSMITTING IT.

873
00:28:49,094 --> 00:28:52,097
IT STOPS YOU FROM DYING.

874
00:28:52,163 --> 00:28:53,198
>> THAT'S PRETTY GOOD.

875
00:28:53,264 --> 00:28:55,266
>> Bill: THAT IS PRETTY GOOD!

876
00:28:55,333 --> 00:28:56,501
TAKE YOUR VICTORY AND GO HOME.

877
00:28:56,568 --> 00:28:56,768
[APPLAUSE]

878
00:28:56,835 --> 00:29:01,005
AND IF YOU DON'T, I CAN'T BE

879
00:29:01,072 --> 00:29:02,040
MORE INVESTED IN YOUR HEALTH

880
00:29:02,107 --> 00:29:04,075
THAN YOU ARE.

881
00:29:04,142 --> 00:29:06,744
>> YEAH, IT HAS TO BE ABOUT

882
00:29:06,811 --> 00:29:07,078
COMMUNICATION.

883
00:29:07,145 --> 00:29:08,580
WE'VE GOT A SAFE SPACE AT THIS

884
00:29:08,646 --> 00:29:10,515
TABLE, VERY SAFE SPACE WITH

885
00:29:10,582 --> 00:29:11,616
EVERYONE OUT THERE WITH THEIR

886
00:29:11,683 --> 00:29:11,883
MASKS ON.

887
00:29:11,950 --> 00:29:14,419
WE HAVE TO FIGURE OUT HOW WE CAN

888
00:29:14,486 --> 00:29:14,786
TALK ABOUT THIS.

889
00:29:14,853 --> 00:29:16,020
>> Bill: IT STARTS TO LOOK

890
00:29:16,087 --> 00:29:16,821
LIKE EVERY OTHER GOVERNMENT

891
00:29:16,888 --> 00:29:18,656
PROGRAM AND WHAT IS THE COMMON

892
00:29:18,723 --> 00:29:20,125
THREAD OF GOVERNMENT PROGRAMS?

893
00:29:20,191 --> 00:29:22,160
>> THEY NEVER END.

894
00:29:22,227 --> 00:29:23,561
>> Bill: EXACTLY.

895
00:29:23,628 --> 00:29:24,729
>> YOU TALK ABOUT MONEY BEING

896
00:29:24,796 --> 00:29:27,198
SPENT ON THIS, WE'VE SPENT A LOT

897
00:29:27,265 --> 00:29:28,032
OF MONEY.

898
00:29:28,099 --> 00:29:28,433
WHERE DID IT GO?

899
00:29:28,500 --> 00:29:31,436
>> JEFF BEZOS TO AMAZON.

900
00:29:31,503 --> 00:29:35,206
>> Bill: RIGHT, AND THOSE

901
00:29:35,273 --> 00:29:36,107
MASKS ARE NOW POLLUTING THE

902
00:29:36,174 --> 00:29:36,307
OCEAN.

903
00:29:36,374 --> 00:29:39,577
THEY ARE EVERYWHERE.

904
00:29:39,644 --> 00:29:40,078
BUT, EXACTLY.

905
00:29:40,145 --> 00:29:42,180
GOVERNMENT PROGRAMS NEVER END.

906
00:29:42,247 --> 00:29:45,650
THAT IS WHETHER IT IS A SUBSIDY

907
00:29:45,717 --> 00:29:47,452
OR LET ME BRING UP THIS

908
00:29:47,519 --> 00:29:48,386
GOVERNMENT PROGRAM THAT MAYBE

909
00:29:48,453 --> 00:29:51,356
SHOULD HAVE ENDED, NATO.

910
00:29:51,422 --> 00:29:51,823
LET'S TALK ABOUT THAT.

911
00:29:51,890 --> 00:29:53,391
[APPLAUSE]

912
00:29:53,458 --> 00:29:56,794
>> THAT WAS A FUNNY SEGUE.

913
00:29:56,861 --> 00:29:58,530
>> Bill: YOU DON'T THINK THAT

914
00:29:58,596 --> 00:29:59,164
IS A TRUE SEGUE?

915
00:29:59,230 --> 00:30:01,699
>> NO I SAID IT WAS A GREAT

916
00:30:01,766 --> 00:30:01,900
SEGUE.

917
00:30:01,966 --> 00:30:04,569
>> Bill: OH, THANK YOU.

918
00:30:04,636 --> 00:30:06,004
BECAUSE NATO WAS FORMED TO FIGHT

919
00:30:06,070 --> 00:30:06,671
THE SOVIET UNION WHICH

920
00:30:06,738 --> 00:30:09,374
DISAPPEARED IN 1991.

921
00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:11,276
I MEAN, I'M NOT SURE WHAT WE

922
00:30:11,342 --> 00:30:13,912
SHOULD DO ABOUT UKRAINE, IF

923
00:30:13,978 --> 00:30:16,447
RUSSIA LOOKS TO INSTALL A PUPPET

924
00:30:16,514 --> 00:30:17,081
GOVERNMENT, LIKE THEY DID HERE.

925
00:30:17,148 --> 00:30:19,450
[LAUGHTER]

926
00:30:19,517 --> 00:30:25,890
[APPLAUSE]

927
00:30:25,957 --> 00:30:28,960
>> Bill: BUT I MEAN, IS IT

928
00:30:29,027 --> 00:30:31,129
REALLY OUR FIGHT?

929
00:30:31,196 --> 00:30:33,731
AND AGAIN, WHY IS THERE A NATO?

930
00:30:33,798 --> 00:30:34,999
WHEN THE SOVIET UNION WENT AWAY,

931
00:30:35,066 --> 00:30:38,536
WOULD WE HAVE BEEN BETTER OFF

932
00:30:38,603 --> 00:30:41,706
SAYING, WE STILL HATE YOU,

933
00:30:41,773 --> 00:30:41,940
RUSSIA.

934
00:30:42,006 --> 00:30:44,309
IT STARTS TO LOOK LIKE AND

935
00:30:44,375 --> 00:30:47,178
EVERYBODY BUT YOU CLUB.

936
00:30:47,245 --> 00:30:48,880
>> THAT IS DEFINITELY HOW

937
00:30:48,947 --> 00:30:50,148
VLADIMIR PUTIN FEELS.

938
00:30:50,215 --> 00:30:50,715
HE'S WATCHING THIS MONOLOGUE

939
00:30:50,782 --> 00:30:52,951
RIGHT NOW GOING YEP, THAT'S

940
00:30:53,017 --> 00:30:53,585
EXACTLY HOW I FEEL.

941
00:30:53,651 --> 00:30:54,219
>> Bill: I'M NOT SAYING HE'S

942
00:30:54,285 --> 00:30:56,120
NOT A BAD GUY.

943
00:30:56,187 --> 00:30:57,322
HE IS A BAD GUY.

944
00:30:57,388 --> 00:30:58,323
WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT HIM IN

945
00:30:58,389 --> 00:31:02,894
A MINUTE IN A FUNNY WAY.

946
00:31:02,961 --> 00:31:05,496
BUT AGAIN, I'M JUST GOING BACK

947
00:31:05,563 --> 00:31:07,165
30 YEARS AGO WHEN THE

948
00:31:07,232 --> 00:31:08,132
SOVIET UNION FELL.

949
00:31:08,199 --> 00:31:09,500
NATO WAS FORMED STRICTLY TO

950
00:31:09,567 --> 00:31:10,368
COUNTER THE SOVIET UNION.

951
00:31:10,435 --> 00:31:12,537
NOW IT DOESN'T EXIST.

952
00:31:12,604 --> 00:31:14,072
BUT WE SIGN UP 15 NEW COUNTRIES

953
00:31:14,138 --> 00:31:16,140
TO BE AGAINST THE THING THAT

954
00:31:16,207 --> 00:31:17,542
DOESN'T EXIST ANYMORE.

955
00:31:17,609 --> 00:31:19,210
OF COURSE RUSSIA STILL EXISTS,

956
00:31:19,277 --> 00:31:20,345
BUT THERE'S GOING TO BE A

957
00:31:20,411 --> 00:31:21,946
REACTION TO THAT.

958
00:31:22,013 --> 00:31:25,750
WHAT WE HAVE BEEN BETTER OFF TO

959
00:31:25,817 --> 00:31:26,217
DISBAND NATO WHEN THE

960
00:31:26,284 --> 00:31:29,988
SOVIET UNION WENT AWAY, AS THESE

961
00:31:30,054 --> 00:31:31,289
COUNTRIES BECAME FREE OF THE

962
00:31:31,356 --> 00:31:32,223
SOVIET UNION BUT NOT A PART OF

963
00:31:32,290 --> 00:31:34,392
AN ORGANIZATION THAT IS AGAINST

964
00:31:34,459 --> 00:31:36,694
YOU.

965
00:31:36,761 --> 00:31:37,996
>> IN EASTERN EUROPE AROUND THAT

966
00:31:38,062 --> 00:31:40,064
TIME, BECAUSE THERE'S A

967
00:31:40,131 --> 00:31:40,865
DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE FROM WHERE

968
00:31:40,932 --> 00:31:42,267
YOU'RE SITTING AND STANDING AT

969
00:31:42,333 --> 00:31:43,301
THE SAME TIME.

970
00:31:43,368 --> 00:31:44,269
BECAUSE IN EASTERN EUROPE THEY

971
00:31:44,335 --> 00:31:45,370
PROBABLY SAID LET'S KEEP IT, WE

972
00:31:45,436 --> 00:31:47,338
WANT TO BE A PART OF THAT CLUB.

973
00:31:47,405 --> 00:31:48,106
THE RUSSIAN PERSPECTIVE, THEY

974
00:31:48,172 --> 00:31:50,975
WANTED IT TO GO.

975
00:31:51,042 --> 00:31:53,378
>> THEY WERE INTERESTED,

976
00:31:53,444 --> 00:31:54,779
ESPECIALLY THE FIRST GRADUATING

977
00:31:54,846 --> 00:31:56,147
COUNTRIES, CZECHOSLOVAKIA,

978
00:31:56,214 --> 00:31:57,849
POLAND AND HUNGARY, THEY WERE

979
00:31:57,915 --> 00:31:59,350
INTERESTED IN THE COLD WAR

980
00:31:59,417 --> 00:31:59,651
ENDING TOO.

981
00:31:59,717 --> 00:32:01,386
DIDN'T GO SO WELL AFTER ALL FOR

982
00:32:01,452 --> 00:32:03,121
THEM HERE THEY HAVE 100,000 RED

983
00:32:03,187 --> 00:32:03,655
ARMY TROOPS ON THEIR SOIL.

984
00:32:03,721 --> 00:32:04,756
THEY HAD TO GET THEM OUT OF

985
00:32:04,822 --> 00:32:05,823
THERE AND THEY DIDN'T WANT

986
00:32:05,890 --> 00:32:06,291
WASHINGTON HERE.

987
00:32:06,357 --> 00:32:08,259
SO THERE WAS A BIG INITIATIVE AT

988
00:32:08,326 --> 00:32:10,528
THE TIME TO SAY WE WANT A NEW

989
00:32:10,595 --> 00:32:11,162
SECURITY GROUP.

990
00:32:11,229 --> 00:32:13,131
IT WILL BE EUROPEAN, IT WON'T BE

991
00:32:13,197 --> 00:32:14,232
RUSSIAN AND IT WON'T BE

992
00:32:14,299 --> 00:32:15,166
AMERICAN.

993
00:32:15,233 --> 00:32:15,933
IT WILL BE EUROPEAN, LET'S DO

994
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:20,405
THIS, WHAT DO YOU SAY, EUROPE?

995
00:32:20,471 --> 00:32:21,806
AND CRICKETS.

996
00:32:21,873 --> 00:32:23,508
CRICKETS AND ALSO YUGOSLAVIA,

997
00:32:23,574 --> 00:32:24,642
BAD COMBINATION, GENERALLY

998
00:32:24,709 --> 00:32:27,145
SPEAKING.

999
00:32:27,211 --> 00:32:28,579
[LAUGHTER]

1000
00:32:28,646 --> 00:32:29,347
FRANCE, GERMANY AND ENGLAND

1001
00:32:29,414 --> 00:32:30,281
COULDN'T GET ANYTHING TOGETHER

1002
00:32:30,348 --> 00:32:31,549
SO THEY TRIED FOR TWO YEARS TO

1003
00:32:31,616 --> 00:32:33,151
CREATE A THING, NOTHING WAS

1004
00:32:33,217 --> 00:32:33,384
CREATED.

1005
00:32:33,451 --> 00:32:34,218
MEANWHILE THESE COUNTRIES WHO

1006
00:32:34,285 --> 00:32:36,854
HAD BEEN ABSOLUTELY DEVASTATED

1007
00:32:36,921 --> 00:32:37,455
BY 40 YEARS OF COMMUNISM AND

1008
00:32:37,522 --> 00:32:40,491
THEIR WHOLE HISTORY BEFORE HAS

1009
00:32:40,558 --> 00:32:41,759
BEEN BEING INVADED FROM RIGHT

1010
00:32:41,826 --> 00:32:43,194
AND LEFT FROM GERMANY AND

1011
00:32:43,261 --> 00:32:43,661
RUSSIA.

1012
00:32:43,728 --> 00:32:45,096
THEY WANTED A SECURITY

1013
00:32:45,163 --> 00:32:45,363
GUARANTEE.

1014
00:32:45,430 --> 00:32:46,564
SO IT'S NOT A QUESTION OF

1015
00:32:46,631 --> 00:32:50,068
AMERICA IN 1994, 1993, REALLY

1016
00:32:50,134 --> 00:32:51,169
WANTED TO EXPAND NATO.

1017
00:32:51,235 --> 00:32:52,170
NOBODY DID.

1018
00:32:52,236 --> 00:32:52,770
THOSE COUNTRIES DID.

1019
00:32:52,837 --> 00:32:55,373
THEY WANTED A PLACE THAT HAD A

1020
00:32:55,440 --> 00:32:55,840
SECURITY GUARANTEE --

1021
00:32:55,907 --> 00:32:57,108
>> Bill: WE DIDN'T HAVE TO DO

1022
00:32:57,175 --> 00:32:58,276
WHAT THEY WANT TO.

1023
00:32:58,343 --> 00:33:00,445
>> QUESTION IS --

1024
00:33:00,511 --> 00:33:01,879
>> Bill: WE JUST MADE A BAD

1025
00:33:01,946 --> 00:33:02,714
DECISION.

1026
00:33:02,780 --> 00:33:04,315
THE GUYS AFTER WORLD WAR II,

1027
00:33:04,382 --> 00:33:06,017
THOSE GUYS, THEY MADE BRILLIANT

1028
00:33:06,084 --> 00:33:07,352
DECISIONS ABOUT HOW THEY HANDLED

1029
00:33:07,418 --> 00:33:08,653
THE POSTWAR WORLD.

1030
00:33:08,720 --> 00:33:09,887
BRILLIANT.

1031
00:33:09,954 --> 00:33:11,022
AND I THINK THESE GUYS FUCKED IT

1032
00:33:11,089 --> 00:33:13,257
UP.

1033
00:33:13,324 --> 00:33:15,259
>> HE DIDN'T THINK IT WAS A

1034
00:33:15,326 --> 00:33:16,561
GREAT IDEA TO EXPAND NATO

1035
00:33:16,627 --> 00:33:17,662
EITHER.

1036
00:33:17,729 --> 00:33:18,429
>> Bill: OH OH, REALLY?

1037
00:33:18,496 --> 00:33:21,833
>> HE WOULD HAVE BEEN WITH YOU.

1038
00:33:21,899 --> 00:33:25,136
BUT THAT OF COURSE WAS, JUST AS

1039
00:33:25,203 --> 00:33:26,904
MATT SAID, THERE WAS A PUSH

1040
00:33:26,971 --> 00:33:28,539
COMING FROM ELSEWHERE TO EXPAND

1041
00:33:28,606 --> 00:33:29,140
IT.

1042
00:33:29,207 --> 00:33:30,575
AT THE TIME, IN THE EARLY PERIOD

1043
00:33:30,641 --> 00:33:33,378
OF THE 1990s, WE DID HAVE THIS

1044
00:33:33,444 --> 00:33:36,314
BIG DISCUSSION ABOUT SHOULD WE

1045
00:33:36,381 --> 00:33:37,882
HAVE SOME OTHER -- WITH RUSSIA.

1046
00:33:37,949 --> 00:33:40,017
UNFORTUNATELY WE DIDN'T AND NOW

1047
00:33:40,084 --> 00:33:41,519
WE'VE GOT PUTIN TRYING TO

1048
00:33:41,586 --> 00:33:42,086
DISMANTLE IT BY FORCE.

1049
00:33:42,153 --> 00:33:43,154
>> Bill: WE THOUGHT THIS WOULD

1050
00:33:43,221 --> 00:33:47,325
BE A GREAT WEEK TO DO "24 THINGS

1051
00:33:47,392 --> 00:33:48,626
YOU DON'T KNOW ABOUT

1052
00:33:48,693 --> 00:33:48,993
VLADIMIR PUTIN."

1053
00:33:49,060 --> 00:33:49,327
I DON'T KNOW.

1054
00:33:49,394 --> 00:33:53,731
[APPLAUSE]

1055
00:33:53,798 --> 00:33:54,999
SOME OF THE FAVORITE DEPARTMENTS

1056
00:33:55,066 --> 00:33:58,102
OF OUR SHOW, BUT WE DO "24

1057
00:33:58,169 --> 00:34:00,304
THINGS YOU DON'T KNOW ABOUT."

1058
00:34:00,371 --> 00:34:02,173
MAGAZINES DO 25 BUT I THINK OURS

1059
00:34:02,240 --> 00:34:03,074
IS BETTER.

1060
00:34:03,141 --> 00:34:05,476
LET ME TELL YOU, PUTIN IS KNOWN

1061
00:34:05,543 --> 00:34:06,344
TO BE SECRETIVE BUT WHEN WE

1062
00:34:06,411 --> 00:34:07,345
INTERVIEWED HIM FOR THAT HE WAS

1063
00:34:07,412 --> 00:34:09,013
AN OPEN BOOK.

1064
00:34:09,080 --> 00:34:09,280
[LAUGHTER]

1065
00:34:09,347 --> 00:34:13,017
FOR EXAMPLE, 24 THINGS YOU DON'T

1066
00:34:13,084 --> 00:34:18,823
KNOW ABOUT VLADIMIR PUTIN,

1067
00:34:18,890 --> 00:34:20,425
I'M SELLING THE PEE TAPE AS AN

1068
00:34:20,491 --> 00:34:22,693
NFT.

1069
00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:27,532
I DIDN'T KNOW THAT ABOUT HIM.

1070
00:34:27,598 --> 00:34:30,435
WHEN IMMERSED IN ICY WATER, MY

1071
00:34:30,501 --> 00:34:31,402
PENIS GETS BIGGER.

1072
00:34:31,469 --> 00:34:33,137
I AM AN OPTIMIST.

1073
00:34:33,204 --> 00:34:33,571
I LOOK AT UKRAINE AS

1074
00:34:33,638 --> 00:34:36,641
HALF-INVADED.

1075
00:34:36,707 --> 00:34:37,909
[LAUGHTER]

1076
00:34:37,975 --> 00:34:38,810
SOMETIMES I THINK ABOUT STEPPING

1077
00:34:38,876 --> 00:34:39,710
DOWN FROM LEADERSHIP SO I COULD

1078
00:34:39,777 --> 00:34:40,745
DEVOTE MORE OF MY TIME TO

1079
00:34:40,812 --> 00:34:43,548
SELLING STOLEN ELECTRONICS.

1080
00:34:43,614 --> 00:34:45,850

00:34:52,857 --> 00:34:55,827
YOU THOUGHT I'D SAY "POISON."

I'M THE FIRST TO ADMIT RUSSIA

1089
00:34:58,896 --> 00:35:00,064
HAS PROBLEMS.

1090
00:35:00,131 --> 00:35:01,466
FOR EXAMPLE, THE SUICIDE RATE OF

1091
00:35:01,532 --> 00:35:02,033
OUR JOURNALISTS IS OFF THE

1092
00:35:02,099 --> 00:35:04,669
CHARTS.

[LAUGHTER]

1094
00:35:09,474 --> 00:35:10,141
LET'S JUST SAY I DON'T NOT DRINK

HUMAN BLOOD.

TATTOO.

1103
00:35:33,998 --> 00:35:35,333
IT SAYS "666" AND IT'S NOT A

00:35:35,399 --> 00:35:40,371
TATTOO.

1105
00:35:40,438 --> 00:35:42,240

1108
00:35:46,577 --> 00:35:46,777
COLD WAR.

1109
00:35:46,844 --> 00:35:50,414
LET'S TALK ABOUT HERE.

1110
00:35:50,481 --> 00:35:51,782
I'VE HEARD YOU SAY WE ARE KIND

1111
00:35:51,849 --> 00:35:53,084
OF BEEN A COLD WAR HERE.

1112
00:35:53,150 --> 00:35:54,318
THAT IS INTERESTING.

1113
00:35:54,385 --> 00:35:56,020
THERE'S LOTS OF TALK ABOUT A

1114
00:35:56,087 --> 00:35:59,724
CIVIL WAR, BUT I KEEP SAYING HOW

1115
00:35:59,790 --> 00:36:00,291
COULD THAT WORK?

1116
00:36:00,358 --> 00:36:01,459
IT'S NOT LIKE THE FIRST

1117
00:36:01,526 --> 00:36:02,760
CIVIL WAR WHERE WE WERE ON

1118
00:36:02,827 --> 00:36:03,661
DIFFERENT SIDES.

1119
00:36:03,728 --> 00:36:08,099
WE ARE ALL MARBLED TOGETHER, MY

00:36:12,537 --> 00:36:13,237
LINES.

1122
00:36:13,304 --> 00:36:13,871
THEY THEY ARE FORMALLY INTERIM

1123
00:36:13,938 --> 00:36:14,338
VOTERS IN CALIFORNIA.

1124
00:36:14,405 --> 00:36:15,706
THAT IS MORE THAN THERE ARE

1125
00:36:15,773 --> 00:36:18,476
PEOPLE IN 30 STATES.

1126
00:36:18,543 --> 00:36:20,444
BUT THE TIME OF TROUBLE IS IN

1127
00:36:20,511 --> 00:36:22,113
IRELAND, THAT IS WHAT YOU ARE

1128
00:36:22,179 --> 00:36:22,480
COMPARING IT TO.

1129
00:36:22,547 --> 00:36:24,749
THAT IS INTERESTING.

1130
00:36:24,815 --> 00:36:27,652
PEOPLE DON'T REMEMBER, IRELAND,

1131
00:36:27,718 --> 00:36:30,021
THE SAWED FROM WHICH I WAS

1132
00:36:30,087 --> 00:36:32,223
SPAWNED, THEY HAD 30 YEARS WHERE

1133
00:36:32,290 --> 00:36:32,690
IT WAS A LOW-LEVEL

1134
00:36:32,757 --> 00:36:34,458
CIVIL WAR BUT IT WAS JUST A

1135
00:36:34,525 --> 00:36:35,192
BOMBING IN VIOLENCE AND LIFE

1136
00:36:35,259 --> 00:36:39,130
WENT ON BUT HORRIBLY BRUTISH,

1137
00:36:39,196 --> 00:36:39,931
NASTY AND SMALL.

1138
00:36:39,997 --> 00:36:42,600
AND YOU THINK THAT COULD HAPPEN

1139
00:36:42,667 --> 00:36:43,935
HERE?

1140
00:36:44,001 --> 00:36:45,469
>> KIND OF INTERCOMMUNAL

1141
00:36:45,536 --> 00:36:46,304
VIOLENCE.

1142
00:36:46,370 --> 00:36:48,306
WE ARE ALL SAYING IT IS GOING TO

1143
00:36:48,372 --> 00:36:49,840
BE A CIVIL WAR, BATTLE AT

1144
00:36:49,907 --> 00:36:50,575
GETTYSBURG AGAIN, DOESN'T SEEM

1145
00:36:50,641 --> 00:36:52,043
TO GET IT FOR MOST PEOPLE BEER

1146
00:36:52,109 --> 00:36:53,177
BUT WAS GOING ON IN IRELAND FOR

1147
00:36:53,244 --> 00:36:55,446
VERY LONG PERIOD AND I WAS

1148
00:36:55,513 --> 00:36:57,949
GROWING UP IN THE NORTH OF

1149
00:36:58,015 --> 00:37:00,117
ENGLAND AND IT WAS ON BRITISH

1150
00:37:00,184 --> 00:37:01,519
SOIL MORE BROADLY, NOT JUST IN

1151
00:37:01,586 --> 00:37:03,721
NORTHERN IRELAND BUT ALSO IN THE

1152
00:37:03,788 --> 00:37:04,822
MAINLAND.

1153
00:37:04,889 --> 00:37:08,125
OF COURSE IT WAS ACTUALLY THE

1154
00:37:08,192 --> 00:37:09,260
BIGGEST IMPROVISED EXPLOSIVE

1155
00:37:09,327 --> 00:37:10,528
DEVICE BOMBING CAMPAIGN IN

1156
00:37:10,595 --> 00:37:10,895
HISTORY.

1157
00:37:10,962 --> 00:37:13,531
YOU TEND TO THINK OF THE PLO FOR

1158
00:37:13,598 --> 00:37:14,899
SOME OF THIS HAPPENING IN THE

1159
00:37:14,966 --> 00:37:15,533
MIDDLE EAST BUT IT WAS ACTUALLY

1160
00:37:15,600 --> 00:37:17,501
IN THE U.K.

1161
00:37:17,568 --> 00:37:19,704
THEY TRIED TO BLOW UP

1162
00:37:19,770 --> 00:37:20,471
MARGARET THATCHER DURING THE

1163
00:37:20,538 --> 00:37:20,972
PARTY CONVENTION FOR THE

1164
00:37:21,038 --> 00:37:23,574
CONSERVATIVE PARTY.

1165
00:37:23,641 --> 00:37:25,443
>> Bill: THEY DID BLOW UP --

1166
00:37:25,509 --> 00:37:26,644
>> DATED AND ASSASSINATIONS ALSO

1167
00:37:26,711 --> 00:37:31,248
OF VARIOUS MEMBERS OF THE

1168
00:37:31,315 --> 00:37:31,716
BRITISH PARLIAMENT.

1169
00:37:31,782 --> 00:37:33,217
BOMBINGS IN CITIES AND

1170
00:37:33,284 --> 00:37:36,487
EVENTUALLY, THIS WAS KIND OF

1171
00:37:36,554 --> 00:37:38,489
STOPPED BY A BIG CIVIL RIGHTS

1172
00:37:38,556 --> 00:37:39,457
EQUIVALENT MOVEMENT.

1173
00:37:39,523 --> 00:37:40,591
BASICALLY WOMEN GETTING ON THE

1174
00:37:40,658 --> 00:37:41,626
STREETS AND PROTESTING ABOUT

1175
00:37:41,692 --> 00:37:42,293
WHAT WAS GOING ON THERE.

1176
00:37:42,360 --> 00:37:44,862
BUT FOR SOME GROWING UP THERE,

1177
00:37:44,929 --> 00:37:45,830
YOU COULDN'T LEAVE BASICALLY A

1178
00:37:45,896 --> 00:37:47,298
BAG IN THE STREET BECAUSE PEOPLE

1179
00:37:47,365 --> 00:37:49,400
THOUGHT THERE WOULD BE A BOMB IN

1180
00:37:49,467 --> 00:37:49,767
IT.

1181
00:37:49,834 --> 00:37:51,002
I HAD FRIENDS WHO LEFT A CAR

1182
00:37:51,068 --> 00:37:53,337
PARKED SOMEWHERE AND IT WOULD BE

1183
00:37:53,404 --> 00:37:54,338
BLOWN UP BECAUSE PEOPLE WERE SO

1184
00:37:54,405 --> 00:37:56,707
PARANOID AND ON EDGE OF THE

1185
00:37:56,774 --> 00:37:57,008
WHOLE TIME.

1186
00:37:57,074 --> 00:37:58,109
LOOK, IT IS BASICALLY LIKE WE

1187
00:37:58,175 --> 00:37:58,542
ARE RIGHT NOW.

1188
00:37:58,609 --> 00:38:00,511
WE LOOK AT SOMEONE, WE

1189
00:38:00,578 --> 00:38:02,346
IMMEDIATELY GET SUSPICIOUS ABOUT

1190
00:38:02,413 --> 00:38:03,714
ARE THEY ON THE OTHER SIDE?

1191
00:38:03,781 --> 00:38:05,950
SOME GROWING UP, YOU WOULD NEED

1192
00:38:06,017 --> 00:38:07,118
AN IRISHMAN OR A CATHOLIC AND

1193
00:38:07,184 --> 00:38:09,353
YOU WOULD THINK, ARE YOU IN THE

1194
00:38:09,420 --> 00:38:10,054
IRA?

1195
00:38:10,121 --> 00:38:11,255
ARE YOU A SYMPATHIZER?

1196
00:38:11,322 --> 00:38:12,423
BUT IN ACTUALITY THE IRA WAS

1197
00:38:12,490 --> 00:38:15,092
ACTUALLY ONLY 400 PEOPLE.

1198
00:38:15,159 --> 00:38:16,093
WE THINK ABOUT INTERCOMMUNAL

1199
00:38:16,160 --> 00:38:16,727
VIOLENCE WE THINK ABOUT

1200
00:38:16,794 --> 00:38:17,561
MILITIAS.

1201
00:38:17,628 --> 00:38:18,729
WE ARE NOT TALKING ABOUT

1202
00:38:18,796 --> 00:38:19,330
THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE.

1203
00:38:19,397 --> 00:38:23,134
WE ARE JUST TALKING ABOUT A FEW

1204
00:38:23,200 --> 00:38:25,770
HUNDRED PEOPLE WHO ARE THAT

1205
00:38:25,836 --> 00:38:26,037
MOTIVATED.

1206
00:38:26,103 --> 00:38:26,637
>> Bill: THE IRISH REPUBLICAN

1207
00:38:26,704 --> 00:38:28,105
ARMY WAS ONLY 400 PEOPLE?

1208
00:38:28,172 --> 00:38:30,708
>> IT WAS ONLY AROUND THAT, THE

1209
00:38:30,775 --> 00:38:31,075
REAL HARD-CORE.

1210
00:38:31,142 --> 00:38:31,976
>> Bill: THE PEOPLE WHO

1211
00:38:32,043 --> 00:38:33,744
ACTUALLY DID THE VIOLENCE.

1212
00:38:33,811 --> 00:38:35,846
THE POLITICAL RING WAS MUCH

1213
00:38:35,913 --> 00:38:36,647
LARGER WHO SUPPORTED THEM.

1214
00:38:36,714 --> 00:38:36,947
>> CORRECT.

1215
00:38:37,014 --> 00:38:39,817
SO YOU CAN HAVE A BIG POOL OF

1216
00:38:39,884 --> 00:38:41,519
SYMPATHIZERS OR PEOPLE WHO

1217
00:38:41,585 --> 00:38:42,319
ACTUALLY DO BELIEVE THAT IRELAND

1218
00:38:42,386 --> 00:38:43,120
SHOULD HAVE BEEN UNITED INTO

1219
00:38:43,187 --> 00:38:44,755
DEPENDENT BUT THEY ARE NOT GOING

1220
00:38:44,822 --> 00:38:45,523
TO BE THE PEOPLE PERPETRATING

1221
00:38:45,589 --> 00:38:47,425
THE VIOLENCE.

1222
00:38:47,491 --> 00:38:49,326
>> Bill: LIKE TERRORISTS,

1223
00:38:49,393 --> 00:38:50,261
ISLAMIC TERRORISTS OR ISLAMISTS.

1224
00:38:50,327 --> 00:38:52,096
>> EXACTLY, BIG DIFFERENCE.

1225
00:38:52,163 --> 00:38:54,098
>> Bill: YES BUT ISLAMISTS ARE

1226
00:38:54,165 --> 00:38:54,865
GENERALLY PEOPLE WHO WOULD

1227
00:38:54,932 --> 00:38:55,533
APPLAUD WITH THE TERRACE ARE

1228
00:38:55,599 --> 00:38:57,301
DOING BUT THEY

1229
00:38:57,368 --> 00:38:58,035
WOULDN'T --

1230
00:38:58,102 --> 00:39:00,204
>> NECESSARILY DO IT THEMSELVES.

1231
00:39:00,271 --> 00:39:00,905
RIGHT.

1232
00:39:00,971 --> 00:39:02,540
>> Bill: YOU ARE SAYING YOU

1233
00:39:02,606 --> 00:39:04,375
DON'T NEED A OF A LOT OF PEOPLE

1234
00:39:04,442 --> 00:39:05,743
TO DO IT.

1235
00:39:05,810 --> 00:39:11,115
>> IT WENT ON FOR A DECADE

1236
00:39:11,182 --> 00:39:12,516
BEFORE, THERE WAS A MOVEMENT

1237
00:39:12,583 --> 00:39:13,417
FROM THE GRASSROOTS TO TRY TO

1238
00:39:13,484 --> 00:39:13,651
STOP IT.

1239
00:39:13,718 --> 00:39:16,520
>> I THINK WE NEED TO BE IN

1240
00:39:16,587 --> 00:39:18,723
BETTER SHAPE THAN THEY ARE

1241
00:39:18,789 --> 00:39:18,989
CURRENTLY.

1242
00:39:19,056 --> 00:39:19,323
>> Bill: WHO?

1243
00:39:19,390 --> 00:39:21,358
>> THE U.S. DOMESTIC TERRORIST

1244
00:39:21,425 --> 00:39:25,296
WHO ARE DOING THE NEXT SECRETARY

1245
00:39:25,362 --> 00:39:27,064
AND TROUBLES IN THE

1246
00:39:27,131 --> 00:39:27,398
UNITED STATES.

1247
00:39:27,465 --> 00:39:27,698
>> Bill: OH.

1248
00:39:27,765 --> 00:39:27,932
[LAUGHS]

1249
00:39:27,998 --> 00:39:31,435
>> PEOPLE ARE NOT THAT MOTIVATED

1250
00:39:31,502 --> 00:39:31,936
I THINK HERE.

1251
00:39:32,002 --> 00:39:33,137
WHEN YOU WALK DOWN THE STREET

1252
00:39:33,204 --> 00:39:33,971
YOU DON'T SEE SOMEONE WHO IS

1253
00:39:34,038 --> 00:39:36,307
READY FOR POLITICAL VIOLENCE.

1254
00:39:36,373 --> 00:39:37,742
OR TO CHEER IT ON FROM THE

1255
00:39:37,808 --> 00:39:38,709
SIDELINES.

1256
00:39:38,776 --> 00:39:40,311
I DON'T THINK PEOPLE ARE THAT

1257
00:39:40,377 --> 00:39:41,145
EMOTIONALLY INVESTED IN IT.

1258
00:39:41,212 --> 00:39:43,514
ESPECIALLY AFTER 22 MONTHS OF

1259
00:39:43,581 --> 00:39:44,949
THE PANDEMIC, YOU ARE

1260
00:39:45,015 --> 00:39:45,649
EMOTIONALLY INVESTED TO SURVIVE

1261
00:39:45,716 --> 00:39:47,017
THE DAY AND GETTING YOUR KID

1262
00:39:47,084 --> 00:39:48,686
INTO SCHOOL MORE THAN JUST ABOUT

1263
00:39:48,753 --> 00:39:49,787
ANYTHING ELSE THAT IS GOING ON.

1264
00:39:49,854 --> 00:39:51,422
>> BUT IT DEPENDS ON THE

1265
00:39:51,489 --> 00:39:52,289
CIRCUMSTANCE.

1266
00:39:52,356 --> 00:39:53,724
THINK ABOUT JANUARY 6TH.

1267
00:39:53,791 --> 00:39:56,927
NOT EVERYBODY WHO SHOWED UP AT

1268
00:39:56,994 --> 00:40:01,332
TRUMP'S RALLY THEN STORMED THE

1269
00:40:01,398 --> 00:40:02,233
CAPITOL BUILDING.

1270
00:40:02,299 --> 00:40:04,602
>> BUT THEY WERE MOTIVATED AND

1271
00:40:04,668 --> 00:40:05,269
WEIRD WAYS.

1272
00:40:05,336 --> 00:40:07,037
IT'S TRUE.

1273
00:40:07,104 --> 00:40:07,304
[APPLAUSE]

1274
00:40:07,371 --> 00:40:07,938
BUT SEE HOW DESPERATELY BAD THE

1275
00:40:08,005 --> 00:40:08,339
ORGANIZATION WAS.

1276
00:40:08,405 --> 00:40:11,542
IF YOU READ THE AFFIDAVIT OF

1277
00:40:11,609 --> 00:40:13,310
THEIR COMPLAINT, ON THE GUYS WHO

1278
00:40:13,377 --> 00:40:15,179
ARE NOW UP AGAINST INSURRECTION

1279
00:40:15,246 --> 00:40:15,913
CHARGES, IT'S A PRETTY PATHETIC

1280
00:40:15,980 --> 00:40:16,914
DAY THAT THEY HAD.

1281
00:40:16,981 --> 00:40:18,582
THEY WERE LIKE ALL RIGHT, DO YOU

1282
00:40:18,649 --> 00:40:19,850
HAVE A BOAT TO GO ACROSS THE

1283
00:40:19,917 --> 00:40:21,051
RIVER HERE?

1284
00:40:21,118 --> 00:40:22,253
GOSH, I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO.

1285
00:40:22,319 --> 00:40:23,120
THEY WERE NOT COORDINATING WELL,

1286
00:40:23,187 --> 00:40:24,421
THEY WERE NOT ORGANIZED AND THEY

1287
00:40:24,488 --> 00:40:27,224
WERE THE SCARIEST BIT OF A VERY,

1288
00:40:27,291 --> 00:40:28,092
VERY SCARY AND TROUBLING DAY.

1289
00:40:28,159 --> 00:40:31,262
WHAT I WONDER IS IS THAT DAY THE

1290
00:40:31,328 --> 00:40:32,062
BEGINNING OF SOMETHING NEW?

1291
00:40:32,129 --> 00:40:34,131
DO YOU NOTICE PEOPLE GO THOSE

1292
00:40:34,198 --> 00:40:35,232
PEOPLE LOOK GREAT TO ME, THEY

1293
00:40:35,299 --> 00:40:36,967
WERE REALLY ON THE CUTTING EDGE

1294
00:40:37,034 --> 00:40:37,601
OF SOMETHING.

1295
00:40:37,668 --> 00:40:38,736
OR DO PEOPLE LOOK AT THAT AND

1296
00:40:38,803 --> 00:40:39,637
GET A LITTLE BIT SCARED

1297
00:40:39,703 --> 00:40:40,704
STRAIGHT.

1298
00:40:40,771 --> 00:40:43,641
LIKE MY GOD, WHAT DID WE DO ON

1299
00:40:43,707 --> 00:40:44,241
THAT DAY?

1300
00:40:44,308 --> 00:40:46,043
>> Bill: OKAY, LET ME MOVE ON

1301
00:40:46,110 --> 00:40:47,077
TO THE COURT BECAUSE I THINK

1302
00:40:47,144 --> 00:40:48,312
THIS IS A VERY HISTORIC WEEK.

1303
00:40:48,379 --> 00:40:50,781
WE ARE GOING TO HAVE THE FIRST

1304
00:40:50,848 --> 00:40:51,182
BLACK WOMAN ON THE

1305
00:40:51,248 --> 00:40:51,515
SUPREME COURT.

1306
00:40:51,582 --> 00:40:53,584
[APPLAUSE]

1307
00:40:53,651 --> 00:40:58,889
THAT IS PRETTY BIG STUFF.

1308
00:40:58,956 --> 00:41:00,090
IT'S ALSO THE WEEK WE LEARNED

1309
00:41:00,157 --> 00:41:01,826
THAT THE SUPREME COURT IS GOING

1310
00:41:01,892 --> 00:41:04,662
TO TAKE UP WHETHER WE SHOULD

1311
00:41:04,728 --> 00:41:07,331
HAVE, CONSIDER RACE IN

1312
00:41:07,398 --> 00:41:07,832
ADMISSIONS.

1313
00:41:07,898 --> 00:41:09,400
I'VE ALWAYS BEEN A PROPONENT OF

1314
00:41:09,466 --> 00:41:10,935
WHAT THEY CALL AFFIRMATIVE

1315
00:41:11,001 --> 00:41:12,303
ACTION AND I DON'T EVEN KNOW IF

1316
00:41:12,369 --> 00:41:13,671
THEY USE THAT TERM ANYMORE PEER

1317
00:41:13,737 --> 00:41:15,539
BUT I DON'T KNOW, IT'S BEEN A

1318
00:41:15,606 --> 00:41:16,507
LONG TIME.

1319
00:41:16,574 --> 00:41:17,174
MAYBE IT'S OUTDATED BECAUSE WHEN

1320
00:41:17,241 --> 00:41:22,646
I LOOK AT THE POLLING, 73% OF

1321
00:41:22,713 --> 00:41:24,281
AMERICANS SAY COLLEGE AND

1322
00:41:24,348 --> 00:41:25,783
UNIVERSITIES SHOULD NOT USE RACE

1323
00:41:25,850 --> 00:41:28,552
AS A FACTOR IN ADMISSIONS.

1324
00:41:28,619 --> 00:41:29,119
62% OF BLACK AMERICANS AGREE

1325
00:41:29,186 --> 00:41:30,487
WITH THAT.

1326
00:41:30,554 --> 00:41:33,390
I FIND IT WEIRD TO BE MORE ON

1327
00:41:33,457 --> 00:41:34,925
THE SIDE OF SOMETHING BLACK

1328
00:41:34,992 --> 00:41:37,294
PEOPLE THEMSELVES ARE NOT.

1329
00:41:37,361 --> 00:41:39,163
>> I MEAN, I THINK IT'S

1330
00:41:39,230 --> 00:41:40,130
IMPORTANT TO WORK BACKWARDS A

1331
00:41:40,197 --> 00:41:41,198
LITTLE BIT OR START WITH THE

1332
00:41:41,265 --> 00:41:42,533
FIRST QUESTION, WHAT ARE WE

1333
00:41:42,600 --> 00:41:42,933
TRYING TO DO HERE?

1334
00:41:43,000 --> 00:41:45,836
IF THE IDEA IS WE ARE TRYING TO

1335
00:41:45,903 --> 00:41:47,638
REDUCE THE BARRIERS TO PEOPLE

1336
00:41:47,705 --> 00:41:48,973
WHO HAD THROUGH NO FAULT OF

1337
00:41:49,039 --> 00:41:50,174
THEIR OWN DISADVANTAGES, WHAT IS

1338
00:41:50,241 --> 00:41:50,608
THE WAY TO DO THAT?

1339
00:41:50,674 --> 00:41:55,779
IS IT TO TRY TO START JUDGING,

1340
00:41:55,846 --> 00:41:57,314
DO YOU BELONG TO THIS CATEGORY

1341
00:41:57,381 --> 00:41:58,015
CALLED ASIAN OR BLACK AND

1342
00:41:58,082 --> 00:42:00,885
SOMETIMES BASED ON SOME PRETTY

1343
00:42:00,951 --> 00:42:02,353
WEIRD TESTS, OR DO YOU COME FROM

1344
00:42:02,419 --> 00:42:02,987
A SOCIOECONOMIC BACKGROUND THAT

1345
00:42:03,053 --> 00:42:04,889
IS HAVING A HARD TIME?

1346
00:42:04,955 --> 00:42:07,358
THAT IS HOW THEY DO IT IN

1347
00:42:07,424 --> 00:42:08,058
OXFORD, IT'S A SOCIOECONOMIC

1348
00:42:08,125 --> 00:42:09,693
THING, IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH

1349
00:42:09,760 --> 00:42:10,895
RACE AND A KIND OF WORKS A LOT

1350
00:42:10,961 --> 00:42:11,228
BETTER.

1351
00:42:11,295 --> 00:42:12,296
IF HE DID THAT, AND AT HARVARD

1352
00:42:12,363 --> 00:42:15,266
AND OTHER PLACES, GOT RID OF

1353
00:42:15,332 --> 00:42:16,967
LEGACIES.

1354
00:42:17,034 --> 00:42:19,570
THE 1 OUT OF 3 PEOPLE WHO ARE

1355
00:42:19,637 --> 00:42:20,204
ADMITTED BECAUSE DADDY OR MOMMY

1356
00:42:20,271 --> 00:42:21,472
WENT THERE, THAT WOULD DO A HELL

1357
00:42:21,538 --> 00:42:22,806
OF A LOT MORE THAN TRYING TO

1358
00:42:22,873 --> 00:42:25,342
FIGURE OUT WHETHER A BANGLADESHI

1359
00:42:25,409 --> 00:42:26,443
IS THE SAME AS A CHINESE PERSON

1360
00:42:26,510 --> 00:42:32,316
IS THE SAME AS A --

1361
00:42:32,383 --> 00:42:33,550
>> Bill: ESPECIALLY AS WE

1362
00:42:33,617 --> 00:42:34,485
MINGLE AND INTERMARRY MORE IT IS

1363
00:42:34,551 --> 00:42:36,353
GOING TO BE HARDER, IT IS

1364
00:42:36,420 --> 00:42:38,088
ALREADY HARDER TO SAY WHO IS OF

1365
00:42:38,155 --> 00:42:38,422
WHAT RACE.

1366
00:42:38,489 --> 00:42:40,090
>> I DO THINK WE HAVE TO BE A

1367
00:42:40,157 --> 00:42:40,925
LITTLE BIT CAREFUL ON THIS,

1368
00:42:40,991 --> 00:42:42,092
THOUGH AND I WILL SPEAK TO THIS

1369
00:42:42,159 --> 00:42:44,361
BECAUSE I DID GO TO HARVARD

1370
00:42:44,428 --> 00:42:47,431
FOR GRAD SCHOOL AND IT WAS

1371
00:42:47,498 --> 00:42:48,065
ACTUALLY AFFIRMATIVE ACTION.

1372
00:42:48,132 --> 00:42:49,700
I'M OBVIOUSLY WHITE BUT BECAUSE

1373
00:42:49,767 --> 00:42:50,401
I CAME FROM A VERY POOR

1374
00:42:50,467 --> 00:42:54,171
SOCIOECONOMIC BACKGROUND, AND

1375
00:42:54,238 --> 00:42:55,439
WHEN I WAS BEING SELECTED FOR

1376
00:42:55,506 --> 00:42:56,106
GRAD SCHOOL PRETTY MUCH EVERYONE

1377
00:42:56,173 --> 00:42:58,609
ON THE SCHOLARSHIPS FROM THE

1378
00:42:58,676 --> 00:42:59,576
U.K. WENT TO OXFORD AND

1379
00:42:59,643 --> 00:43:00,511
CAMBRIDGE.

1380
00:43:00,577 --> 00:43:01,278
NO OFFENSE TO OXFORD AND

1381
00:43:01,345 --> 00:43:03,314
CAMBRIDGE BUT THEY ALL BASICALLY

1382
00:43:03,380 --> 00:43:04,682
CAME FROM PRIVATE SCHOOLS.

1383
00:43:04,748 --> 00:43:06,317
ONE OTHER EXCEPTION BEER BUT I

1384
00:43:06,383 --> 00:43:07,051
WAS THE ONLY

1385
00:43:07,117 --> 00:43:08,052
KID BASICALLY UP TO THAT POINT

1386
00:43:08,118 --> 00:43:09,720
THAT WAS SELECTED FOR THESE

1387
00:43:09,787 --> 00:43:11,588
SCHOLARSHIPS TO COME FROM A POOR

1388
00:43:11,655 --> 00:43:13,324
BACKGROUND AND FROM A VERY UNDER

1389
00:43:13,390 --> 00:43:14,024
RESOURCED SCHOOL.

1390
00:43:14,091 --> 00:43:16,160
AND SO I WAS VERY GRATEFUL THAT

1391
00:43:16,226 --> 00:43:17,027
HARVARD ACTUALLY MADE THE EXTRA

1392
00:43:17,094 --> 00:43:18,762
EFFORT TO SEEK ME OUT.

1393
00:43:18,829 --> 00:43:20,698
AND WHAT I SAW WHEN I WAS THERE

1394
00:43:20,764 --> 00:43:21,598
WAS THAT WAS JUST ONE FACTOR.

1395
00:43:21,665 --> 00:43:24,134
I THINK THE SOCIOECONOMIC

1396
00:43:24,201 --> 00:43:26,036
ASPECTS, THAT IS VERY IMPORTANT

1397
00:43:26,103 --> 00:43:26,236
TOO.

1398
00:43:26,303 --> 00:43:27,805
WHEN YOU GET BACK TO THE

1399
00:43:27,871 --> 00:43:28,706
SUPREME COURT WHICH IS VERY

1400
00:43:28,772 --> 00:43:29,707
INTERESTING, THEY ARE LOCKING

1401
00:43:29,773 --> 00:43:32,009
INTO THE SELECTION RIGHT NOW,

1402
00:43:32,076 --> 00:43:33,777
ONE OF THE CANDIDATES THAT BIDEN

1403
00:43:33,844 --> 00:43:34,778
IS APPARENTLY CONSIDERING FOR

1404
00:43:34,845 --> 00:43:37,614
THE SUPREME COURT IS A BLACK

1405
00:43:37,681 --> 00:43:39,049
WOMAN FROM A POOR SOCIOECONOMIC

1406
00:43:39,116 --> 00:43:41,318
BACKGROUND WHO WENT TO A

1407
00:43:41,385 --> 00:43:42,886
NONIVY LEAGUE SCHOOL.

1408
00:43:42,953 --> 00:43:43,654
>> OH, REALLY?

1409
00:43:43,721 --> 00:43:45,322
>> SO I THINK ALL THOSE FACTORS

1410
00:43:45,389 --> 00:43:45,923
NEED TO BE CONSIDERED BECAUSE

1411
00:43:45,990 --> 00:43:47,491
IT'S NOT A QUESTION OF PEOPLE

1412
00:43:47,558 --> 00:43:48,058
GETTING AN UNFAIR ADVANTAGE

1413
00:43:48,125 --> 00:43:51,729
BECAUSE OF HOW THEY LOOK OR WHAT

1414
00:43:51,795 --> 00:43:53,397
THEIR ETHNICITY OR RACE IS, BUT

1415
00:43:53,464 --> 00:43:55,466
IT IS GETTING RID OF UNFAIR

1416
00:43:55,532 --> 00:43:55,799
DISADVANTAGE.

1417
00:43:55,866 --> 00:43:56,066
[APPLAUSE]

1418
00:43:56,133 --> 00:43:57,368
>> ONE OF THE UNFAIR

1419
00:43:57,434 --> 00:43:57,968
DISADVANTAGES UNDERLYING THE

1420
00:43:58,035 --> 00:44:00,204
HARVARD CASE, IT'S JUST AGAINST

1421
00:44:00,270 --> 00:44:02,806
ASIANS.

1422
00:44:02,873 --> 00:44:04,041
>> Bill: IT'S ABOUT ASIANS,

1423
00:44:04,108 --> 00:44:06,243
AND BOY, THEY HAVE DONE THEM

1424
00:44:06,310 --> 00:44:06,810
SOME DIRTY.

1425
00:44:06,877 --> 00:44:09,713
BECAUSE ASIANS, YOU KNOW, THEY

1426
00:44:09,780 --> 00:44:10,748
STUDY HARD, WHATEVER IT IS, I

1427
00:44:10,814 --> 00:44:13,083
DON'T KNOW, BUT THEY DO VERY

1428
00:44:13,150 --> 00:44:14,418
WELL.

1429
00:44:14,485 --> 00:44:15,853
SO WELL THAT HARVARD BASICALLY

1430
00:44:15,919 --> 00:44:17,321
WENT BACK DOOR TO MAKE SURE THAT

1431
00:44:17,388 --> 00:44:20,057
THEY DIDN'T BASICALLY DOMINATE

1432
00:44:20,124 --> 00:44:20,491
THE INCOMING CLASS.

1433
00:44:20,557 --> 00:44:23,761
SO THEY WENT TO SOMETHING ON THE

1434
00:44:23,827 --> 00:44:25,229
TEST CALLED POSITIVE

1435
00:44:25,295 --> 00:44:25,729
PERSONALITY.

1436
00:44:25,796 --> 00:44:27,898
SO THEY ARE GOING TO JUDGE YOU

1437
00:44:27,965 --> 00:44:29,433
ALSO ON YOUR PERSONALITY AND

1438
00:44:29,500 --> 00:44:31,802
THEY JUDGED ASIANS WERE LACKING

1439
00:44:31,869 --> 00:44:33,504
IN LIKABILITY, AND THESE ARE

1440
00:44:33,570 --> 00:44:35,706
BASICALLY, THEY ARE JUDGING

1441
00:44:35,773 --> 00:44:37,908
HIGH SCHOOL KIDS.

1442
00:44:37,975 --> 00:44:39,610
LIKABILITY, COURAGE, KINDNESS,

1443
00:44:39,676 --> 00:44:41,111
AND BEING WIDELY RESPECTED.

1444
00:44:41,178 --> 00:44:42,780
OH, YES, BECAUSE I REMEMBER

1445
00:44:42,846 --> 00:44:44,214
BEING WIDELY RESPECTED IN

1446
00:44:44,281 --> 00:44:45,349
HIGH SCHOOL.

1447
00:44:45,416 --> 00:44:45,616
[LAUGHTER]

1448
00:44:45,682 --> 00:44:49,086
[APPLAUSE]

1449
00:44:49,153 --> 00:44:52,489
>> THEY USE TESTS LIKE THAT IN

1450
00:44:52,556 --> 00:44:53,791
THE 1920s AT HARVARD AND OTHER

1451
00:44:53,857 --> 00:44:56,660
ELITE SCHOOLS TO LIMIT THE

1452
00:44:56,727 --> 00:45:05,135
NUMBERS OF JEWS.

1453
00:45:05,202 --> 00:45:06,503
THEY ARE SAYING, ARE THERE TOO

1454
00:45:06,570 --> 00:45:08,439
MANY ASIANS, WE HAVE TO DO

1455
00:45:08,505 --> 00:45:10,074
SOMETHING PEER THAT IS

1456
00:45:10,140 --> 00:45:10,908
DISCRIMINATION AGAINST ASIANS.

1457
00:45:10,974 --> 00:45:13,377
>> Bill: THANK YOU, YOU ARE

1458
00:45:13,444 --> 00:45:13,577
GREAT.

1459
00:45:13,644 --> 00:45:16,313
IT IS TIME FOR "NEW RULES."

1469
00:45:32,796 --> 00:45:33,764

1672
00:53:06,683 --> 00:53:08,518
BUT DEMOCRATS HAVE BECOME A

1673
00:53:08,585 --> 00:53:09,786
PARODY OF THEMSELVES, JUST

DRAG.

1682
00:53:24,467 --> 00:53:26,670
THE BIDEN INFRASTRUCTURE HAS A

1683
00:53:26,736 --> 00:53:28,538
PROVISION THAT REQUIRES ALL NEW

00:53:28,605 --> 00:53:29,839
CARS TO INSTALL AN ALERT SYSTEM

1685
00:53:29,906 --> 00:53:32,409

WHO'S GOING TO IGNORE IT?

1694

1699
00:54:04,975 --> 00:54:06,509

BE FIXED WITH A REGULATION.

1703
00:54:12,816 --> 00:54:13,817
BUT DON'T TELL THAT TO THE

1704
00:54:13,883 --> 00:54:15,518
ADVOCACY GROUPS WHO ALSO WANT

1705
00:54:15,585 --> 00:54:17,520
EVERY FUTURE CAR IN AMERICA TO
