1. Introduction and Skit Segment

The episode begins with promotional content for Instacart, seamlessly blending advertisements into the show's content. Shortly after, a comedic skit featuring "Liam Neeson" engages in a playful yet absurd dialogue with Jimmy Dore. This segment serves as a humorous interlude, characterized by exaggerated claims and satirical exchanges.

• Example Quote:
  • Liam Neeson [01:15]: "I am doing very well and pleased to be speaking with you, my ancient comrade."

2. Transition to Main Discussion

After the skit, the focus shifts to a significant discussion involving Bill Maher and his recent interaction with Donald Trump. This segment critiques political dynamics, media portrayal, and governmental policies.

3. Bill Maher's Dinner with Donald Trump

Bill Maher recounts a dinner he had with President Donald Trump, arranged by mutual acquaintance Kid Rock. Contrary to Maher's expectations and prior animosity, the dinner was unexpectedly cordial and productive.

• Key Points:
  • Purpose of the Dinner:
    • Bill Maher [08:04]: "We share a belief that there's gotta be something better than hurling insults from 3,000 miles away."
  • Trump's Demeanor:
    • Bill Maher [09:24]: "I never felt I had to walk on eggshells around him."
    • Bill Maher [12:05]: "He didn't ask me to take a picture in one, which I appreciated."

Maher highlights the mutual understanding and respectful dialogue that emerged, contrasting it with the often hostile exchanges seen in political discourse.

• Notable Quote:
  • Bill Maher [09:24]: "When your politics are filled with hate, that's exactly what the deep state and the WEF and the globalists and the bankers and Wall Street and the military-industrial complex want."

4. Critique of DHS Policies on Anti-Semitism and Immigration

The conversation delves into recent Department of Homeland Security (DHS) policies aimed at screening immigrants based on alleged anti-Semitic activities on social media. Both Jimmy Dore and Bill Maher express concern over the broad and potentially oppressive definitions of anti-Semitism being used to restrict immigration.

• Key Points:

  • Policy Overview:
    • Jimmy Dore [41:52]: "They are now doing the same to see who should be deported or denied visas."
  • Concerns Raised:
    • Nico Perino (Fire Org) [41:52]: "Everyone should be concerned when the government starts defining anti-Semitism and terrorism as broadly as it has been these past three months."
    • Jimmy Dore [47:59]: "It's a huge problem and Israel is at the heart of it."

• Notable Quotes:

  • Bill Maher [56:31]: "A handful of billionaires are moving this entire planet toward an oligarchic system."
  • Jimmy Dore [51:23]: "Most Jews around the world come from places like Ukraine. This idea that we're Semites in our biblical homeland is complete fiction."

5. Discussion on Free Speech and Double Standards

The episode emphasizes the perceived double standards in defining and policing anti-Semitism, especially concerning criticism of Israel. The hosts argue that while certain forms of hate speech are being targeted, other marginalized groups continue to face systemic oppression without similar scrutiny.

• Key Points:

  • Definition of Anti-Semitism:
    • Jimmy Dore [42:57]: "You can be racist if you want to, you can advocate violence against Palestinians as so many supporters of Israel do, but if you criticize Israel, you cannot hide behind the First Amendment."
  • Impact on Free Speech:
    • Liam Neeson (Skit) [48:13]: "Free speech is a value that we defend at all costs and we try to spread around the world to everyone, everywhere."

• Notable Quotes:

  • Jimmy Dore [50:20]: "It's so silly to complain about anti-Semitism when Jews are among the most privileged people in the world."
  • Liam Neeson (Skit) [52:50]: "They have now morphed into the thing that gave them victim status. They have now become the monster."

6. Case Study: Michael Rapaport's Immigration Status

The show discusses the case of actor Michael Rapaport, who faces immigration challenges purportedly due to his support for Israel. This case is used to illustrate the broader implications of DHS policies and the stigmatization of pro-Israel sentiments.

• Key Points:

  • Rapaport's Situation:
    • Liam Neeson (Skit) [35:03]: "Michael Rapaport isn't getting major roles because of his support for Israel."
    • Bill Maher [37:14]: "He's annoying to Jews, is what."

• Notable Quotes:

  • Jimmy Dore [28:45]: "He's struggling to find work due to his support for Israel."
  • Liam Neeson (Skit) [35:03]: "Michael Rapaport, I say don't give up all hope because there's gotta be somebody who wants to hire you."

7. Broader Implications and Political Commentary

Jimmy Dore and Bill Maher extend their critique to the influence of powerful entities like Zionist organizations, Palantir, and the military-industrial complex in shaping narratives and policies that restrict free speech and promote an oligarchic societal structure.

• Key Points:

  • Oligarchy Concerns:
    • Jimmy Dore [56:24]: "United States of America today is increasingly becoming an oligarchy."
    • Bill Maher [57:41]: "Under Donald Trump, we are hurtling rapidly toward oligarchy."
  • Surveillance and Censorship:
    • Liam Neeson (Skit) [53:48]: "They are implementing a version of that [Holocaust] where they've been turned in, they've now morphed into the thing that gave them victim status."

• Notable Quotes:

  • Bill Maher [58:09]: "I'm pretty consistent. I said the same thing. Get ready for this oligarchy that's on its way here any minute now while we're in an oligarchy the whole time."
  • Jimmy Dore [57:57]: "This country is hurtling rapidly toward oligarchy."

8. Concluding Remarks and Final Messages

[Liam Neeson]

First three grocery orders.

[Jimmy Dore]

Instacart. We're here. Service fees apply. Three orders in 14 days excludes restaurants.

[Liam Neeson]

Come see us in Los Angeles, Bakersfield, San Jose, Buffalo, New York, Toledo, Ohio, Montreal, Toronto, Ottawa, Belfast, London, and a lot more. Go to jimmy dore.com for a link for the cheapest tickets. Hello? This is Jimmy. Who's this?

Jimmy, my old friend. This is Liam Neeson on the phone.

Friend of the show. Liam Neeson, what a surprise. How are you, Liam?

I am doing very well and pleased to be speaking with you, my ancient comrade. For the tie that links you and me goes back thousands of years, and it's a bond that no one outside our kindred could ever. I'm glad you and I will always share that. Jimmy.

Yeah? Are you talking about being Irish? As I. I mean, I told you that. I mean, I don't really put a whole lot of stock in that kind of stuff.

Oh, of course not, Jimmy. You have too much filthy Pollock blood in you for me to consider you a fellow countryman. I am talking about the ancient bonds of comedians.

What?

Jimmy, as far back as the Roman Empire, we were exiled, harassed, persecuted, for The Emperor knew that a man who spoke truth to power was more of a threat than a thousand Parthian warriors.

Speak truth to power, Liam, you make movies where you beat up terrorists ten at a time.

That was a time when I did make those films, yes. But now I am starring as Lt. Frank Drebin in the new reboot of the Naked Gun. Jimmy, one of the. That's not a joke, Jimmy. One of the most beloved comedy franchises of all time has been revived and placed upon my broad shoulders. Hence, I am a comedian. And part of that special brotherhood, special bond, etc. I've always suspected you and I were cut from the same cloth, Jimmy. Now I know it's true.

Wait, is this real?

As real as the Holy Spirit. Jimmy, you really have to stop learning about upcoming films from the comedy segments on your own show.

Okay, but this doesn't suddenly and automatically make you a comedian, Liam. Not like I am.

Jimmy.

What?

Close Your eyes.

What? Why?

Just do it.

All right, fine.

The year is 1996. It's a Friday afternoon. You wish to rent a video cassette for the evening. You enter a Blockbuster Video, a thriving business at that point in time. You've decided on renting the 1988 classic, the Naked Gun. Now the question remains, where is this object? You start looking in various sections. Adventure. No, it's not there. Drama. No.

Horror.

No. Again, you can open your eyes to read the line.

All right, I get it.

What section do you find the Naked Gun in? Oh, look at that. Comedy section, entitled Comedy. But, oh, no, the tape isn't there. Just the box. Someone has checked it out. Because eight years after its release, it's still one of the most beloved comedies ever made famous for being a comedy. So you choose a backup film and you choose poorly. This starts a chain of events that eventually leads to the dissolution of your marriage.

Yes, Liam, the Naked Gun is a comedy movie. I'm not disputing that. But you starring in this movie doesn't make you a comedian. And certainly not a stand up comic like I am. I don't claim to be an actor. You shouldn't claim to be something you're not either.

All right, close your eyes again. We're going back to Blockbuster.

All right. No, I'm afraid we're just gonna have to agree to disagree here.

Fair enough, so we shall. But don't worry, I shan't be wearing the comedy mantle forever. My dream project, which is very far from a comedy. Maybe in the near future.

Oh, yeah? What's that, Jimmy?

There is a genetics company in Austin, Texas whose mission is to revive extinct species. And they've done their first one. Jimmy. For the first time in over 10,000 years, a young dire wolf walks the earth.

Yeah, that doesn't sound like a good idea.

Oh, by no means a terrible idea, but a good movie plot, I'm sure you'd agree. This company plans next on cloning a woolly mammoth.

Okay, that's bonkers. That's what that. What does this have to do with anything, by the way? What? What? We have a show to do. Liam.

Jimmy, you and long standing listeners of the Jimmy Dore show may be aware perhaps of the longest running joke we have, which is that one of Liam Neeson's upcoming films is called Tusk Breaker 2 Rise of the Mastodons. And in said film, I fight resurrected mastodons on the tundra.

My God, that's right, Jimmy.

Thanks to this Austin based tech startup, the premise of the film and Therefore, the possibility of its existence is now not just a silly joke, but a deadly serious reality.

You're gonna make Tusk Breaker?

There's no time, Jimmy. We skip right to Tusk breaker 2. Rise of the Mastodons. We have to fight mastodons. Which we can get away with if we make it a comedy.

You would make the woolly mammoth fighting a movie A comedy?

Well, why not? I'm a comedian, aren't I?

Oh, Jesus, Jimmy.

A good comedian can take a topic that is inherently unfunny on its face, be it poverty, disease, or a looming mastodon threat, and make that topic funny. That is comedy wisdom that I am glad I have the opportunity. Opportunity? To impart to you today.

Oh, brother.

I would be happy to tutor you in the comedic arts further, but I would require payment.

Are you teaching a comedy class right now? Is that what you're selling?

Jimmy, Mastodon movie will be expensive. I will need money to front it and to finance it.

Forget it, Liam. You're. You're a great actor, but I'm a veteran comic and you're not. All right, go scam some open micrs if you need money. We have a show to do. Goodbye.

But wait, I haven't explained what the rule of three is.

[Jimmy Dore]

Establishment media sucks.

[Liam Neeson]

August lighting. So good luck.

[Jimmy Dore]

Bullshit.

[Liam Neeson]

We can't afford why he's commenting this.

[Jimmy Dore]

Watch and see as his jack golf.

[Liam Neeson]

The medium, speeds and jumps the medium.

[Jimmy Dore]

And hits him head on.

[Liam Neeson]

It's Jimmy door show. Bill Maher and Donald Trump had a dinner. They had a powwow, finally. Yeah, remember that? Never had a dinner. Remember? Anyway, that was red buttons. That's an old. I'm not going back decades. Mar praises gracious and measured Trump after White House visit. This just happened. Did they bond? Because both of them are ready to deep throat Benjamin Netanyahu at a moment's notice. Is that what happened?

[Bill Maher]

That's what I heard.

[Liam Neeson]

That's what I heard.

[Bill Maher]

That's the word I.

[Liam Neeson]

So this is from the vigilant Fox. He got these clips. So on March 31, Marv met Trump at the White House, arranged by his friend Kid Rock. It turned out to be surprisingly warm, candid and friendly one on one conversation. So let's watch this.

[Bill Maher]

As you know, 12 days ago, I had dinner with President Trump, a dinner that was set up by my friend Kid Rock because we share a belief that there's gotta be something better than hurling insults from 3,000 miles away. And let me first say that to all the people who treated this like it was some Kind of summit meeting. You're ridiculous. Like I was gonna sign a treaty or something. I have no power. I'm a fucking comedian. And he's the most powerful leader in the world. I'm not the leader of anything, except maybe a contingent of centrist minded people who think there's got to be a better way of running this country than hating each other every minute.

[Liam Neeson]

So I share his conviction there. When your politics are filled with hate, that's exactly what the deep state and the WEF and the globalists and the bankers and Wall street and the military industrial complex wants. They want you turning on your neighbor and hating half the country. And shame on you for falling for it, because that's. That's called divide and conquer. Okay, so here we go. So I agree with him on that. Thank you.

[Bill Maher]

So.

[Liam Neeson]

Okay, I think Bill. Bill and I are shopping at the same glass eyewear store, by the way.

[Bill Maher]

Oh, look at that.

[Liam Neeson]

Look at that.

[Bill Maher]

Oh, Meet up in person. Maybe it'll be different. Spoiler alert. It was first good sign. Before I left for the Capitol, I had my staff collect and print out this list of almost 60 different insulting epithets that the President has said about me. Things like stupid, dummy, low life, dummy, sleazebag, sick, sad, stone cold crazy. Really a dumb guy, fired like a dog. His show is dead. I brought this to the White House because I wanted him to sign it, which he did. Which he did with good humor. And I know, as I say, that millions of liberal sphincters just tightened. Oh, my God, Bill. Are you going to say something nice about him? What I'm going to do is report exactly what happened. You decide what you think about it. And if that's not enough pure Trump hate for you, I don't give a fuck.

[Liam Neeson]

So what's interesting here is that this is what he should have did 10 years ago in 2017, when Trump didn't know what he was doing. He was an accidental president. He didn't have a real agenda. The worst thing about him was that he parroted the immigration policy of guys like Bernie Sanders, Hillary Clinton, and Bill Clinton. That was the worst thing about him at that point. Now he's actually doing stuff now. He's actually bombing Yemen, threatening war with Iran. He's gonna ethnically cleanse Gaza. He's clamping down on the First Amendment. He's writing laws to curtail your free speech. And at the behest of Israel, a foreign so. And. But that now. But now. So. So back when they were coming at him over Russiagate, which is completely invented, which is completely a fraud, hoax, conspiracy theory that was made up. That's when you should have been doing that. That's when it could have been helpful anyway. But at least he's, I guess he's doing it now. Here we go. Bill Maher continued to explain he was stunned to see Trump treat him warmly. Here we go.

[Bill Maher]

And he gave me a bunch of hats, but he didn't ask me to take a picture in one, which I appreciated. The guy I met, by the way.

[Liam Neeson]

When he says, there's got to be something better than hurling insults. Was that something? Was that something? The Gaza genocide? Because I hear that was terrific.

[Bill Maher]

You're going to love this genocide. Where do you see it? Where do you see it?

[Liam Neeson]

Okay.

[Bill Maher]

And he gave me a bunch of hats, but he didn't ask me to take a picture in one, which I appreciated. The guy I met is not the person who, the night before the dinner, shit, tweeted a bunch of nasty crap about how he thought this dinner was a bad idea and what a deranged asshole I was. I read it and thought, oh, what a lovely way to welcome someone to your house. But when I got there, that guy wasn't living there. Now, does Trump want respect? Of course, who doesn't? My friend said to me, what are you gonna wear to the White House? I said, I don't know, but I'm not gonna dress like Zelensky, I'll tell you that. Just for starters, he laughs. I'd never seen him laugh in public, but he does, including in himself. And it's not fake, believe me, as a comedian of 40 years, I know a fake laugh when I hear it.

[Liam Neeson]

And I thank you for this. So this might be wore you. Oh, go ahead.

[Bill Maher]

Lutsky wore a Ukrainian tuxedo they call.

[Liam Neeson]

May not have been a summit, but it is the end of the oldest, whitest, non rap beef of all time.

[Bill Maher]

They finally settled their beef.

[Liam Neeson]

They settled their beef. So here he is summarizing the meeting.

[Bill Maher]

And I don't remember exactly what we were talking about, but it must have been something with the 2020 election because I know he used the word lost and I distinctly remember saying, wow, I never thought I'd hear you say that. He didn't get mad. He's much more self aware and he lets on in public. Look, I get it. It doesn't matter who he is at a private dinner with a comedian. It matters who he is on the world stage. I'm just taking as a positive that this person exists because everything I've ever not liked about him was, I swear to God, absent. At least on this night with this guy Bob. Kid Rock told me the night before, he said, if you want to get a word in edgewise, you're going to have to cut him off. He'll just go on. Not at all. I've had so many conversations with prominent people who are much less connected. People who don't look you in the eye, people who don't really listen because they just want to get to their next thing. People whose response to things you say just doesn't track. Like what? None of that with him. And he mostly steered the conversation to, what do you think about this? I know your mind is blown. So is mine.

[Liam Neeson]

There were.

[Bill Maher]

There were so many moments when I hit him with a joke or contradicted something and no problem. At dinner, he was asking me about the nuclear situation in Iran in a very genuine, hey, I think you're a smart guy. I want your opinion sort of way. And I said, well, obviously you're privy to things about it. I'm not. But for what it's worth, I thought the Obama deal was worth letting play out because we made Iran destroy 98% of the uranium and they were 15 years away from a bomb. And then I said to him, but we got rid of that. You got rid of that. He didn't get mad or call me a left wing lunatic. He took it in. I told him I thought parts of his plan for Gaza were wacky, but that I had supported him in the idea that Gaza could be Dubai instead of hell. I told him he was wrong when he tweeted the night before that I was critical of all things Trump. Not true. Check the tapes.

[Liam Neeson]

Check the tapes.

[Bill Maher]

He said, I don't need to see evidence to know Trump's a traitor. Was a quote I directly remember him saying.

[Liam Neeson]

Yeah. I mean, up until five seconds ago, he was saying that Trump was a traitor to our country and he was in bed with Russia and Putin and he was a puppet. And I mean, he was. Even after the last election, he was saying that he still believed in Russiagate. So you're going to have a dinner with a guy who you think is a legit traitor to our country, who's working against our own country at the behest of another one. He is. It's just not Russia, it's Israel. But you agree with that.

[Bill Maher]

That's what our country means. Our country meant Israel.

[Liam Neeson]

Oh, that's. That's it? Yeah. Yeah.

[Bill Maher]

Because now I realize, first of all, Jimmy Fallon, is he going to get a pardon for touching Trump's hair? That time is to play patty cake forever now. So Rock and Bill Moorham came together and they all. Oh, let me guess. You all came together on. Yeah, but Israel, I mean, Israel's consolidating its assets now. So he had the Michael Rapaport journey, where Michael Rapaport is like, I hate to say it, but I might vote for big dick Donald Trump.

[Liam Neeson]

Yeah.

[Bill Maher]

Remember that?

[Liam Neeson]

Yes.

[Bill Maher]

That's what Bill just had.

[Liam Neeson]

Yeah.

[Bill Maher]

That's why Michael can't get work. Michael Rapaport is because he didn't vote Kamala.

[Liam Neeson]

That's right.

[Bill Maher]

He was an early adopter of.

[Liam Neeson]

That's right, yeah.

[Bill Maher]

That I didn't realize until I watch this.

[Liam Neeson]

Yeah, that's what it. You're right. I wish I would have thought of it in the Michael Rapaport segment. It's because he supported Trump, that's why. That's right. Yeah.

[Bill Maher]

I mean, what could bring everyone together? I knew the death of woke was October 7th because that's when all the, all these identity groups that were trying to get this level of like Israeli control over your speech patterns. And then it was like, nope, the first white. We're getting back with our first wife, Israel, whatever she says we have to do, you know.

[Liam Neeson]

Yep. So Maher then said he felt more comfortable speaking with Trump than. Let's list this. Let's listen to him say it.

[Bill Maher]

I never felt I had to walk on eggshells around him. And honestly, I voted for Clinton and Obama, but I would never feel comfortable talking to them the way I was able to talk with Donald Trump. That's just how it went down. Make of it what you will. Me, I feel it's emblematic of why the Democrats are so unpopular these days.

[Liam Neeson]

Well, so I heard the due dissonance fellows make this point. And that's because Trump was always, he was always touted as a business genius and a political novice, but it's the exact opposite. Trump's really great at politics. He makes. He knows how to make people feel comfortable. He's good at glad handing, he's good at remembering your kids names and all that stuff that makes you feel good. Like, oh, I feel heard by this important, powerful person. Keith Olman used to say that about him because they lived in the same building. Keith Altman lived in his building in New York. And he would see him on the elevator, hey, Keith, how you doing? And how's this? And, and so it's the kind of the exact opposite. He's Really? I mean, I don't know how bad he is at business. He is a billionaire. He does have his own jet, for f sake.

[Bill Maher]

Yeah. What does business mean to people? I remember the big criticism was, he's not really a billionaire. He's lying and saying he is not quite there. I was like, wow, that's what you're.

[Liam Neeson]

So what's the cookie? He's only worth 900 million. Like Jerry Seinfeld, the most successful TV star in history.

[Bill Maher]

What a loser.

[Liam Neeson]

What a loser.

[Bill Maher]

Be on the bottom with the rest of us.

[Liam Neeson]

Liar. But he is genuinely worth billions of dollars.

[Bill Maher]

You can make a deal where you suddenly you have complete lawfare from the United States government. Next thing you know, your truth, Social.com stock is off the charts. You're probably a good, effective deal maker. I would say.

[Liam Neeson]

Yeah. All right, let's listen to the rest.

[Bill Maher]

He was even okay when I checked him on the orangutan.

[Liam Neeson]

Lawsuit.

[Bill Maher]

He was.

[Liam Neeson]

No.

[Bill Maher]

He said to Dana White, you know, Bill said, my father was an orangutan and I really love my father. And I said, well, Mr. President, I did that because I didn't like what you were doing regarding Obama's birth origins. I thought that was low. Again, no anger, just a little smile as if to say, yeah, I get it.

Who's saying you haven't heard that his birth certificate is fake?

[Liam Neeson]

Idiot.

[Bill Maher]

You still haven't heard he wasn't born here. It turns out that I 100% don't think he was born here. And I always thought Trump was an idiot. That's the thing I really thought Trump was an idiot about was that.

[Liam Neeson]

Well, it's just funny. I've never heard of a long form birth certificate until Barack Obama got elected. Elvis. Everybody acted like they talked. They said that term their entire life. Oh, what about his long, long form birth certificate? What do you mean?

[Bill Maher]

Well, here's the mind blowing part to me. The official government website where they put his birth certificate up, some guy. There's still. They left Photoshop artifacts in it. Do you know how crazy that is?

[Liam Neeson]

No.

[Bill Maher]

On the official. Yeah, yeah.

[Liam Neeson]

Really?

[Bill Maher]

I'll send to you. Rogan said it to me, the guy who. He demonstrates it and he. And the guy's discovering it himself. And you could tell he did not see this coming. This dude freaks out while he's like, why would they. Why would you have the artifact? One of the funniest things I ever saw. And I'm like, oh, of course. Because Obama was raised to be a CIA puppet president, just like George W. Bush was a Manchurian. In fact, I'll bet Bill Maher gets a Manchurian Candidate phone call from Bibby Milkowski. Now, Trump is your friend. Hang up. Yeah, that's my guess.

[Liam Neeson]

I wouldn't doubt it. So here's his final piece.

[Bill Maher]

The most surreal part of the whole night was when I got home. I flew back right after the dinner, and I'm in bed watching 60 Minutes from the night before, and there's Trump in one of their stories, standing at a podium in a room that looked to me like one of the rooms and places we'd just been in. And he's ranting, disgusting. You're a terrible person. And I'm like, who's that guy? What happened to Glinda the Good Witch?

He's talking to Kaitlan Collins, Bill.

[Liam Neeson]

Yeah, he's talking. He's talking to garbage people who have been accusing him of being a traitor to our country since the first time he was elected president. That's why he talks to those people like that.

[Bill Maher]

And he's no more of a traitor than anybody else that Israel owns that runs the country.

[Liam Neeson]

Yeah. So that. That, like, you don't get. How do you not get. How do you still not get that.

[Bill Maher]

It'S on purpose? Like, these people are, like, in a fog. I just talked to my friend from New York, became the mothership. And, like, listen, the amount that people don't know anything, and especially if they're from certain areas. New York is worse than la, I think. But, like, just no thoughts about the Biden was senile ever. No. He had a stutter. All the things you would have thought people would have remembered by now. Oh, yeah. BLM was a scam, I guess, wasn't it? Like, they just forget stuff.

[Liam Neeson]

Yeah.

[Bill Maher]

Forget stuff and move on to the next thing.

[Liam Neeson]

As Michael. As Michael Malice says, they live in the perpetual present moment.

[Bill Maher]

Yeah. That's the goal.

[Liam Neeson]

Yeah. Forget of. Just forget every. Forget. It's like when they say, hey, why did they all say that the vaccine stopped transmission? And they all know they never said that. And then you show them a video of everybody saying it. Oh, well, that was before the bubble. No, no, no. You said they never said it. And the reason why you said they never said it was because the people who said it told you they never said it. So you'd repeat that. And then you repeated it. And then I showed you that, and then you go, oh, no, no, it said. So the same people who lied to you that it stopped transmission are the same people who lied to you. Said they Never said it. So does you ever catch on that they're lying about everything at every turn?

[Bill Maher]

No. It's called hypnosis. It's called hypnosis if you have the misfortune of sitting through CNN or Fox or any of them on, like, a tarmac in an airplane because your earbuds died like I have. When you watch it, it's unbelievable what you're looking at. They only tell three stories, and then they tell them over and over again. Then they have a panel of people who all say the same catchphrase about the story. It's like a children's show. Like, the Democrats have been talking to people. Like, they're like, it's Grover on Sesame street for the last 12 years. It's gotten insane.

[Liam Neeson]

I like how Bill Maher, like, he lists all those. Those aren't valid reasons to like or dislike. He's essentially sharing a Facebook post about what they had for dinner. But Donald Trump happened to be there, and, you know, you know, he lost it. He lost half the room when he said. Yeah, by my friend Kid Rock. You know, he lost half the room. He said. But then he magically won them back when he presented a book of insults of. Of him during dinner to Trump. That's when Trump signed it.

[Bill Maher]

Because you said his dad was an orangutan. It seems like worse than any of the insults on your signed insult page.

[Liam Neeson]

So it's just weird that. Anyway, look, we.

[Bill Maher]

We. He realized he can still. He can go and make nicer Trump for Israel's sake and still have a show for small gun informed liberals that makes them think that they're informed.

[Liam Neeson]

It really is. It really is. For smug, uninformed liberals. I mean, and I got to. The Academy Award goes to Bill Maher for pretending to be shocked to discover that politics is just really pro wrestling for people who think they're better than WWE fans.

[Bill Maher]

Of course it is, dude. My friend that was here. I can't remember what we were talking about. He asked him if I believed in God, and he did. Like a 2007 Reddit atheist. Who's what you believe in a man in the sky. And then he goes on to tell me he thought Epstein committed suicide. Wow, that. That real logical atheist mind must have really helped you out a lot, huh? Well, I don't see how. Epstein. Boy, you're critical. Unbelievable.

Kurt says he's struggling to find work due to his support for Israel. I thought it was because he was a complete. An utter. A hole. I thought that was it. Oh, what a nice curtain to hide behind. I can't get work. Why? Because you know how, you know how Muslims run Hollywood? Yeah, you know, come on, at first it was the Amish, now it's the Muslims. What are the Jews going to get their chance? Is there. Is there no more Hasbro money now that the ethnic cleansing is almost done? Michael, Is that the problem? Yeah, he.

[Bill Maher]

Sir Michael Rapaport.

[Liam Neeson]

He says it's because of his support for Israel, but he doesn't have the slightest bit of regret for his activism. Wow, good to hear he's standing his ground in Muslim run Hollywood. That's he's not going to back down to the people who run Hollywood. Hey, seriously, it takes a lot of guts to openly back a genocide, even when both parties of your country support it. Wow. There's still the risk of being tweeted at. You don't wanna go through that. Wow.

[Bill Maher]

I've heard some rough tweets, but I'm getting through it.

[Liam Neeson]

Michael Rappaport, I say don't give up all hope because there's gotta be somebody who wants to hire you. Have you given Israel a call? They're hiring people to act like they care about Israel and you're perfect.

[Bill Maher]

Well, I think, Jimmy, the program is they want you to act like you care about Israel and also please never move to Israel is their program for Michael Rappaport.

[Liam Neeson]

Glenn Greenwald says Hollywood studio heads and TV executives notoriously anti Semitic and anti Israel. Yeah, yeah. Ever since the Amish took over Hollywood, Kurt production is really slowed down, I'll tell you that because they can't use the electricity.

[Bill Maher]

I always thought Amish got it done anyway because they, you know, they do speed.

[Liam Neeson]

Well, they're, they're trying to rewire all the electricity to make it gas powered. I learned that from a Vanilla Ice episode of his Home Improvement that yeah, they can have lights in their house, but it has to be powered by gas. So it's just, it's. I know.

[Bill Maher]

Must be powered by a sleeve.

[Liam Neeson]

English Brian McDonald says imagine anyone thinking Hollywood is run by Hamas. Because Michael Rapaport isn't getting major roles, he has to realize that he's like a novelty item. Just like fake dog shit. Except Michael Ramport, such a good actor. He seems like real dog shit. That's the thing.

[Bill Maher]

He is a good actor. He's like human fart spray.

[Liam Neeson]

He is like human farts. But here's what happens when you say the wrong thing in Hollywood. You get dropped by your agency. If you go, if you go against Israel, that's when you're. The work dries up. Can you, can you imagine this guy? It's like, wow. Chris. Chris Christie. It's like Chris Christie complaining he's getting turned away at the all you can eat buffet because he doesn't want to use a napkin.

[Bill Maher]

He keeps eating with the serving spoon.

[Liam Neeson]

There's an Oscar, there's an Oscar winning actress who got dropped by her agency and still. But it's still to this date no one's claiming representing her even though she's in a new. She's in a new project with Vince Vaughn. I Hope Mike, Mike McCray hears this. She's in a new Netflix show with people who I thought were dead years ago. Brenda Vaccaro. Brenda Vaccaro is on the series on Netflix. I love who's Brenda Vicaro? That's Kurt says who's Brendan? She won. She. She. She wanted a couple Golden Globes and from for her work in 1969 and 1975. She got an Oscar nomination in 75. Same thing her claim her. Her biggest client. I forget the names of the movies but they were really good movies and the claim her biggest claim to fame was she did a tampon commercial and she, she breathed like a werewolf and everybody made fun of that. You Remember that? Hi, I'm Brendan Vacara.

[Bill Maher]

Do you remember that about tampons? It sounds like she was well past tampon age.

[Liam Neeson]

No, this was back. This was back when she wasn't.

[Bill Maher]

This is like back back when everybody was. Had George C. Scott voice.

[Liam Neeson]

Yes.

[Bill Maher]

All day.

[Liam Neeson]

Yes. He was never young, but Susan Sarandon. You know, I know you won an Oscar, but you have to realize you're no Michael Rapaport.

[Bill Maher]

Yeah, that's true.

[Liam Neeson]

You're never going to reach that level of talent, no matter how much brain damage you receive in your life.

[Bill Maher]

For one thing, you. You occasionally blow your nose.

[Liam Neeson]

Here. Is here. He says, hey, hey, ho, ho, Khalid Muhammad. You've got to go, by the way. He gets the guy's name. He gets the guy's name wrong, even though the guy's name is right there in his tweet. Mahmoud Khalil, he calls him.

[Bill Maher]

How does that work?

[Liam Neeson]

Khalil Muhammad. He gets his name. That's.

[Bill Maher]

I don't understand what. How you fuck that up.

[Liam Neeson]

A judge. What he calls him. He calls him. Is it fuck nose? Is that what that is?

[Bill Maher]

FK knows.

[Liam Neeson]

I think that's what that is.

[Bill Maher]

That is anti Semitic, by the way.

[Liam Neeson]

Yeah. So he calls him Khalil a dumb. Even. Even while getting his name wrong. Here, let's. You want to.

[Bill Maher]

Hear his message? Yes.

[Liam Neeson]

So here, let's listen. I'm gonna get this in before Shabbat. I am wishing everybody a fantastic good Shabbos and a peaceful Passover, but not you, Khalil. Hey, hey, ho, ho. Khalil Muhammad, you got to go. Hey, hey, ho, ho. Khalil Muhammad, you got to go. You f. You thought you could come into the United States in New York City on a college visa with a green card and harass Jews and what Jesse Jackson wants infamous, by the way. Not one bit of evidence that he harassed anyone or said anything that was anti Semitic. They have to make this up because these people don't. Zionists don't care about free speech. They're anti free speech. They're anti First Amendment, which makes them anti American. That's the irony here.

[Bill Maher]

You see, Israel doesn't have a constitution, and Israel.

[Liam Neeson]

That's right.

[Bill Maher]

They probably don't seem to understand ours.

[Liam Neeson]

Hey, I only go through life trying to start fist fights with everyone and everything everywhere. Why don't people want to hire me? Especially from a guy who looks like he's lost every fight he's ever been in.

[Bill Maher]

Wow. Jake Lamotta at the end was looking a lot better than this cold Hineytown.

[Liam Neeson]

You f. You dumb. I got no sympathy for you or your wife. You should have been putting together the bassinet. You should have been putting together the baby stroller instead of harassing Jews in New York City. And you're telling. You're telling me people don't want to work with that guy? We don't know exactly what Mahmoud Khalil did. Because you know why? Because they won't tell us. They won't tell us. But if it's what Michael Rappaport just did in this video, then he should be deported and should be. Michael. Hey, wait, hang on. Wait a minute. He forgot to wish happy Shabbat to the Shabazz Guys. Goys. To the Shabazz goys. Who does he think this. The physical labor of deporting legal resident Zionist? Come on.

[Bill Maher]

Mishabaz Guys is a good band name.

[Liam Neeson]

Hey, maybe. Maybe employers are actually looking to hire sane adults. Do you ever think about that?

[Bill Maher]

He has a history of that. You know that, right?

[Liam Neeson]

Imagine him not only as an actor, imagine him as any other profession. Imagine that guy as your barista. Imagine him as your airline pilot. Imagine him as your surgeon. Imagine that guy as your therapist. Maybe. Maybe the answer is he can't be hired to play anything else except a crazy ass wipe that he is. It's not like he's this great actor like, oh, my God, Dan, it was that Daniel Day Lewis. Or was that Michael Rapaport? I can't tell which one.

[Bill Maher]

Dude, I would even hire him as a spokesman for an ethnic cleansing.

[Liam Neeson]

They're not going to hire an off the spectrum psychopath. I can't believe it. He's the next worst thing that happened to Jewish people besides Benjamin Netanyahu, and he can't get work. That is really weird.

[Bill Maher]

Yeah, he's annoying to Jews is what. Here's the gist of the story. Yes, Jews can't take him. Yes, and rightly so.

[Liam Neeson]

Okay, so after the immigration judge in Mahmoud Khalil's case ordered the government to provide evidence to justify deporting him, this is what they filed. I've been a lawyer for 14 years and a criminal defense lawyer for nine of those years, and I've never seen anything like this. Totally nebulous. Vague allegations about involvement in anti Semitic protests and disruptive activities without any specific attributions of unlawful activity or even anti Semitic speech is attributed to Khalil himself, which in any event is protected by the fricking First Amendment. I'm allowed to hate shit. I'm allowed to hate Zionism. I'm allowed. I'm allowed to hate Germany. I'm allowed to hate Saudi Arabia. I'm also allowed to hate Israel. I'm allowed to hate Canada. I'm allowed to hate Canada. Louisiana, Iowa.

[Bill Maher]

You don't, but I'm allowed to.

[Liam Neeson]

I don't, but I'm allowed to. In the US and all civilized societies, if government is going to punish someone under the law, it had better provide evidence of specific forms of unlawful activity by the individual that it's targeting. Not only has the government entirely failed to do that here, but it's obvious it's a case of predicated, its cases predicated on punishing a First Amendment protected speech and protest. So that's what's happening. There's Michael. Poor Michael Rapaport can't find work. He's such a key matching. I mean he's, he's such a. They would have to hire Daniel Day Lewis to, to play him in the, in the biopic. Right?

[Bill Maher]

Because I just saw him in something, by the way. I just saw him on something, that Fallout TV series. Michael, he was good.

[Liam Neeson]

Michael Rapavort.

[Bill Maher]

Yeah, he played like a. And then.

[Liam Neeson]

Yeah, he's great at playing those, those like dumb guy who's over.

[Bill Maher]

It was very recent. I don't know what he's talking about.

[Liam Neeson]

I saw him in a Woody Allen movie. He was, he was hilarious because he plays that, he plays that role well. He really does. He plays the dumb guy who's overly sincere. It's very, it's a very funny character. But that's it. That's it. That's his range. Well, which is more range than I have because I've never, I've only been hired to act a few times and I screwed it up every time. I did.

[Bill Maher]

Yeah, I, I, you know, I don't know why I've been scheduled so many clubs after him and so I would tell you about his reputation of how he is on tipping people, but I don't want to be deported from this country.

[Liam Neeson]

Oh, no kidding, yo.

[Bill Maher]

I never heard nobody say a good word about him.

[Jimmy Dore]

Here's the new announcement from the Department of Homeland Security DHS to begin screening aliens social media activity for anti Semitism. Today, U.S. citizenship and Immigration Services USCIS will begin considering aliens antisemitic activity on social media and the physical harassment of Jewish individuals as grounds for denying immigration benefit requests. This will immediately affect aliens applying for lawful permanent resident status, foreign students and aliens affiliated with educational institutions linked to anti Semitic activity. So guess what? If you want to apply now, to be a permanent resident in the U.S. you want to have a green card. You want to study here. The government's going to look at your social media to make sure that you're not criticizing Israel. That's what they mean by antisemitism. Under this guidance, continuing with the announcement, USCIS will consider social media content that indicates an alien endorsing, espousing, promoting or supporting anti Semitic terrorism, anti Semitic terrorist organizations or other anti Semitic activity as a negative factor in any USCIS discretionary analysis when adjudicating immigration benefit requests. This guidance is effective immediately. So notice how they say this isn't just about supporting terrorism or terrorist organizations, this is about other anti Semitic activity. And we know how the Trump administration and the Biden administration before it defined anti Semitism criticizing Israel. And that's what they'll now be policing immigrant applicant social media for to see if they've criticized Israel and deciding whether you can come into the country.

[Liam Neeson]

So this is the Trump administration's version of Black Lives Matter. And you know, as, as MAGA was upset that though you, you racialize everything and every, everybody's a victim. And, well, this is exactly, this is their own version of it. So they didn't get rid of it. They're just doing, they just switched it to, to an even smaller group of people, Zionists. And that's what this is all again. This is not America first. This is Israel first. And I guess, I guess Trump doesn't have to worry about it because he's not running for reelection. But they're, they'll, and the problem is the Democrats are for it, too. That's, that's the problem. There is no opposition to this. And the people who gave the slightest of pushbacks to it APAC primaries them and gets them out of there, well, there's, you know, they're, it's, it's, again, it's a, it's the exact opposite of what people voted for.

[Jimmy Dore]

Here's more from the dhs. There is no room in the US for the rest of the world's terrorist sympathizers. We're under no obligation to admit them or let them stay here. Anyone who thinks they can come to America and hide behind the First Amendment to advocate for anti Semitic violence and terrorism, think again. You are not welcome here. What they're saying is you can be racist if you want to, you can advocate violence against Palestinians as so many supporters of Israel do, but if you criticize Israel, you cannot hide behind the First Amendment. And someone who opposes this is Nico Perino, he's with a group called fire, which is a conservative organization, but they've actually been consistent, unlike many others, when it comes to free speech. And he says everyone should be concerned when the government starts defining anti Semitism and terrorism as broadly as it has been these past three months. And yes, the First Amendment is what you hide behind to defend against censorship and oppression. It was designed for that purpose. So that's somebody being consistent. Here's more from Fire. The fire. Org, The Department of Homeland Security announced it is formalizing the censorship practices as engaged in for the past three months. By surveilling visa and green card holders and targeting them based on nothing more than their protected expression. The Trump administration trades America's commitment to free and open discourse for fear and silence. Unfortunately, that chill appears to be the administration's aim. That's exactly right. So after nabbing students off the street, putting them in gulags, and trying to deport them for criticizing Israel, now the Trump administration says this will extend to anybody applying for an immigration status in the US they're going to have their social media monitored. And all the Israel supporters, including from foreign countries who come in, who advocate violence against Palestinians, who advocate mass murder, they're fine. It's only people who are critical of Israel. And this sort of came up in a recent debate that was held between Glenn Greenwald, who again is a consistent champion of free speech. He criticized his censorship, whether it's carried out by Democrats or Republicans, and Megyn Kelly, who is a conservative leaning host. And they discussed this issue in the context of the Trump administration's attempt to deport Columbia student Mahmoud Khalil.

[Liam Neeson]

Okay. There's nothing unreasonable about saying being the spokesperson for an on campus terror group means you violated your terms of staying here and your green card is getting revived. I think you're, I think you're wildly mischaracterizing the point of this protest. I remember, you know, very well, in 2002, people who were opposed to the U.S. invasion of Iraq were told, oh, they were Saddam Hussein report supporters. And they would say, no, we're not Saddam Hussein reporters. We just don't think the US should invade Iraq. Same thing. Now if you don't support financing Ukraine, you're, you're told, oh, you're a Putin supporter. And you say, no, I'm not a Putin supporter. I just don't want the US Involved in this war. That's a strong protest were about, that's a straw man because these protests were against no one who was really out on the street. They were not defending Hamas. They were demanding that Colombia divest.

[Jimmy Dore]

They were demanding that Columbia.

[Liam Neeson]

That doesn't mean that, you know that. That they bought the. The anti Israel protesters modeled themselves after the movements in the 1980s that were against the apartheid regime, the main demand of which was we demand that you divest from apartheid South Africa. That's what these students are demanding that we demand. That is a peaceful protest, not a. American students. The American students cannot be deported for having done that. But someone here on a green card can be. Yeah, So I don't even think. By the way, I guess Glenn Greenwald's on his way to a St. Valentine's massacre reenactment and does he not dress like a gangster? But anyway, I. Megan Kelly, I don't know much about her, but there's no way she believes what she's even saying. There's no way she can be a lover of the Constitution, a lover of free speech or any of that stuff, and then completely misrepresent the. It's exactly what Glenn pointed out to her. You're wildly mischaracterizing what that was. And she. I, I don't know what. She's not a politician, so I don't know what she gets out of it. She doesn't have an APAC handler. Or maybe she does, I don't know. But there's no way. She's a very intelligent woman that she believes what she's saying. There. There's just. I just. I have a. I cannot. I can't believe that she believes what she's saying, and I don't know what she gets out of it. But same thing with Trump. They know better and they are turning on their own principles. So a principle of free speech. Free speech isn't a prize that you give to people you like. It isn't a prize we give to citizens. Free speech is a value that we defend at all costs and we try to spread around the world to everyone, everywhere.

[Jimmy Dore]

And it's a very popular value, which is why Republicans did so well in part in the elections, because they could accurately say the Democrats were suppressing free speech. There's so many examples of it. But now they're squandering that, or at least they're abandoning the principle. For what?

[Liam Neeson]

For.

[Jimmy Dore]

For Israel. And in a much more extreme way than Biden did when in his censorship. I don't recall Biden monitoring immigrants social media accounts and deciding whether they can come into the country or not based on their social media. So. And also trying to deport people for saying the wrong thing. So Trump is taking it to a new extreme. And again, Glenn Greenwald, who called out the censorship regime under Democrats, here he is now, after years of conservative grievances about Biden's DHS monitoring social media to eliminate and punish dissent, Trump's DHS now doing the same to see who should be deported or denied visas. But don't worry. Virulent anti black racism, arguing Muslims should be killed, LGBTs put into camps are fine. You just can't express anti Semitism, I. E. Criticisms of Israel, which is often equated with being pro Hamas.

[Liam Neeson]

And now, Aaron, you're a Jew. Would you say they like to say that anti Semitism is on the rise? And if it is on the rise, wouldn't you think it's things like this that actually increase people's.

[Jimmy Dore]

And of course, to the extent it's on the rise, and again, I'm not even sure about that. But then it comes from a self proclaimed Jewish state carrying out mass murder with complete impunity, people seeing every day these images of slaughtered children, and then also in the US Getting the government to censor people and deport them if they are critical of all these atrocities that Israel is carrying out, while also meanwhile crying victim all the time saying we don't feel safe on campuses, which makes them the ultimate snowflakes, not the liberals that they often mock. So to the extent there's a rise in anti Semitism, then it comes from that. But again, I think it's so silly to complain about anti Semitism when Jews are among, you know, especially North American Jews are among the most privileged people in the world. It's so embarrassing. It is. You know, I can say that easily because I'm Jewish, but it's just even before all this, like before October 7th, I always thought it was dumb because we're such a privileged group of people. And I'm, you know, like, I'm thankful for that.

[Liam Neeson]

Do you feel safe in New York, Steve? Do you actually, do you feel safe though, in New York City? Yeah.

[Jimmy Dore]

Come on, imagine that.

[Liam Neeson]

You can't feel safe as a Jew in New York City, can you? You know what, it's also funny that things that would be considered a compliment to other ethnicities are considered an insult and anti Semitic and they need to be deported for, like if, if some. I'm Irish, right? If someone said, you know, the Irish control the media and the banks, I'd be like, yeah, we're doing very well. Yeah, yeah, we do. We worked hard and we're smart. And we, we, we, we're doing very well. Thank you for the compliment. But if you say that about the Jewish people, that is a huge. You're not allowed to say that. That is. Oh my God, you're a racist. You're an anti Semite. And by the way, most of the people, the Zionists in Israel are, aren't Semites. The majority of them. Am I wrong about that? Am I overstating?

[Jimmy Dore]

No, you're right. Listen, most of the people who around the world are Jewish, they don't come from historic Palestine. They come from places like Ukraine. In fact, a relative recently did a DNA test and my family, apparently its origins are in Ukraine. Okay, like some above 90 Ukraine. That's where most Jews around the world come from. So this idea that we're Semites and we're in our biblical homeland, it's, it's complete fiction. It's historical fiction.

[Liam Neeson]

And that's why they, all the prime ministers of Israel change their names to sound correct, to sound less European.

[Jimmy Dore]

Because why there's a very high rate of skin cancer inside Israel is because that white skin can't handle that Middle Eastern sun. And it's this, it's this, it's this most, it's this paranoid narcissism where we're like, we're the chosen people, we're special. But yet if you say that there's a disproportionate amount of Jews in positions of power, then you're anti Semitic. But while we're going around calling themselves special and chosen people, all this. So listen, it's a huge problem and Israel is at the heart of it. And certainly now the government is saying we're going to deport you and not let you in. If you criticize Israel, it's only going to increase to whatever extent, to whatever extent anti Semitism is out there, it's only going to increase as a result.

[Liam Neeson]

Well, I think that they are the chosen people. I don't know what you think, but they are definitely a master race.

[Jimmy Dore]

Are you saying that because you want to get maybe like a, like a new show? Like, like, are you looking for like a bigger show? Like the, you know, like, are you looking for a TV deal?

[Liam Neeson]

No, it's, it's, you know, lots of people have made the comparison to that the Jews were a victim of the Holocaust. And now that they're implementing a version of that, that they've been turned in, they've now morphed into the thing that gave them victim status. They, not. They've now become the monster. And, and I think claiming that you're a chosen people sounds very similar to what the people who oppress them used to say about themselves.

[Jimmy Dore]

It's very supremacist. It's very supremacy. That's why, you know, Israel's a Jewish supremacist state and unfortunately it has a lot of allies and very far, very powerful positions inside the US and that's why they're now trying to crack down and censor people for criticizing all that.

[Liam Neeson]

So I, the, the guy, I forget his name, but he's the head of Palantir and.

[Jimmy Dore]

Alex Karp.

[Liam Neeson]

Yeah, yeah. So he, he said this at a, some kind of symposium on the videotape. I showed it at one of my rumble time shows that he said we have to, it's imperative to stop these college protests because if we lose this, we've lost our ability to do war for the rest of the all time. So this is imperative, we have to stop this. And it's all about narrative control. That's the same thing that when the, when the Democrats and the big pharma was censoring over Covid, it was because they could, if they lose the narrative, they've lost the game. And the same thing here, the military industrial complex, the Zionists, they cannot lose the narrative if, and if they do. And so that's what all this censorship is. That's what all this, you know, putting a chill into the air of anybody and, but it actually backfires. You know, it's actually creating more, more dissent. It's creating more outrage over this kind of thing and hopefully it really does backfire in a big way. But this right now, they're winning, right? So they have suppressed the, the, the college protests. They, they've done that. And I don't understand how anybody in good conscience why you would even want to go to school at Columbia University. Why the you, if you're smart enough to get in there, wouldn't you be smart enough to get the. Out of there? Because they don't give a about you and they don't give a about any of the values they claim to give a. And they certainly don't give a about a robust debate or you having free speech. Why the would you want to go to school at Columbia College like that he will see in Bakersfield, San Jose, we'll see in Buffalo, Toledo, Montreal, Toronto, Ottawa. Go to jimmy dore.com for a link for those tickets. So you know how Bernie Sanders and AOC are trying to save us from this new thing called oligarchy that Donald Trump is bringing in. Well, it's interesting because Mays put together this video compilation that Bernie Sanders has been warning us about oligarchy since 1993. So this idea that it's this new thing happening, he just shut up about it from 2020 to 2024. So let's watch.

[Jimmy Dore]

This great country of ours is moving very rapidly in the direction of oligarchy.

[Liam Neeson]

So that's 1993. And he calls it an oligarchy, not oligarchy. He calls it oligarchy.

[Jimmy Dore]

United States of America today is increasingly becoming an oligarchy.

[Liam Neeson]

So that's 1994. Now here's 1995. More and more moving toward an oligarchy.

[Jimmy Dore]

We are moving in the direction of oligarchy.

[Liam Neeson]

We will move even more rapidly in the direction of an oligarchy.

[Jimmy Dore]

This great country is evolving into an oligarchic society.

[Liam Neeson]

It is called oligarchy. And that is the system we are rapidly moving toward.

[Jimmy Dore]

This is a budget that moves our.

[Liam Neeson]

Country rapidly into the direction of oligarchy.

[Bill Maher]

A handful of billionaires are moving this.

[Liam Neeson]

Entire planet toward an oligarchic. So now he goes silent for the years under Joe Biden about oligarchy. And it comes back. When did it come back? Start off with the bad news, which is pretty bad. And that is that under Donald Trump.

[Jimmy Dore]

This country is hurtling rapidly toward oligarchy.

[Liam Neeson]

So just under Donald Trump, not. Not under Bill Clinton, not under Barack Obama, not under Joe Biden, but under Donald Trump, so.

[Bill Maher]

Well, yes, under Clinton. He was saying it in the 90s. Yeah, he's incorrect. We're a narco terror state. That's what we are. Yeah, we're not an oligarchy. We're a narco trafficking terror state.

[Liam Neeson]

So what that shows you is that Bernie Sanders is an inconsistent charlatan who is a partisan of the highest order and will only fight when it's easy for him to do it.

[Bill Maher]

I mean, he's pretty consistent. He said the same thing. Get ready for this oligarchy that's on its way here any minute now while we're in an oligarchy. The whole time.

[Liam Neeson]

The whole time.

[Bill Maher]

Pretty consistent.

[Liam Neeson]

Well, he shut up about it from 2020 to 2024.

[Bill Maher]

Well, yeah, because I believe that story completely from Twitter about him so that all my questions have been answered.

[Liam Neeson]

That story from Twitter, what is that? You mean that story about where he got compromised by he had to perform an act on young somebody.

[Bill Maher]

He didn't want to neither. No, he doesn't want to vote for these Democrats either. But he's going to do it because they got that tape on him. And if that story ain't true, it's something very close to it. Because nobody with a normal intelligence sits here and does this for this many years. I'm not as smart as Bernie, I'm going to tell you. And I've been doing comedy for 25 years and my act didn't stay that much the same. Oh, no, that's on purpose. How do you live with yourself? You know, you go, well, things could be worse. That tape could come out.
