Speaker 3 Welcome to an HBO podcast from the HBO Late Night Series, Real Time with Bill Ma.

Speaker 3 Here we are.

Speaker 4 I am making friends with the mooch in case Trump tries to send me to Gitmo. That's what I want to know.

Speaker 6 I've got a power on the animal.

Speaker 7 It's from Mexico when you get the Gitmo.

Speaker 4 No, let me tell you.

Speaker 9 It would be a hemorrhoid surprise. Okay.

Speaker 4 Anthony, if you could redo one thing while you were at the White House, what would it be?

Speaker 10 That's a good question. Probably the Ryan Lizard call, I probably wouldn't have had that one.

Speaker 11 Right.

Speaker 4 But you are in 10 days, you actually.

Speaker 4 11.

Speaker 8 11.

Speaker 5 9.

Speaker 6 Sorry.

Speaker 11 I'm getting 9.1 percent of my federal career.

Speaker 6 It wasn't as long as from the 10.

Speaker 4 But it's not how long you're there, it's how much you accomplish. You know, you can't get out of the way.

Speaker 12 Hey, let me tell you something.

Speaker 10 Did we knock out a lot of the leakers and a lot of the unnecessary internescent warfare? You definitely did that.

Speaker 10 The two biggest leakers got knocked out with me.

Speaker 4 In the American Revolution, George Washington only fought nine battles and he only won three of them.

Speaker 9 Deal with that. Amen.
Amen.

Speaker 13 Richard Haas, what will U.S.

Speaker 4 global leadership look like post-Trump? If there is ever such a thing?

Speaker 14 It's actually a good question.

Speaker 14 The issue of whether Trump's an aberration or whether he's a trend and to what extent Trumpism

Speaker 14 is there. And I actually, I worry about that a little bit.
I mean, he's an extremely

Speaker 4 glitch.

Speaker 14 Exactly.

Speaker 14 And what comes next? And

Speaker 14 also, whoever comes next, they're not going to inherit the world that he inherited. It's going to be a world that's been degraded.
It's going to be a tough job when you come after him.

Speaker 14 And the country, it's not clear to me, is ready to play the sort of role that we historically have.

Speaker 8 Okay.

Speaker 15 We'll allow time for rebuttal?

Speaker 4 Yes, of course. Rebut.

Speaker 10 Again, I see it differently. I think that the world, the economic engine of the United States, I mean, we have a real shot now to double the economy in 18 years.
We can clip away at 3 percent growth.

Speaker 10 It will eliminate a lot of the entitlement issues that we have. I think we are going to bolster the business.

Speaker 4 Eliminate entitlement issues, meaning

Speaker 11 that you can't do that.

Speaker 10 Yeah, when you get it to $34 trillion,

Speaker 10 it'll double our in 18 years if you grow at 3 percent.

Speaker 15 I can

Speaker 15 teach you the math.

Speaker 4 18 years.

Speaker 15 Well, no, I mean, you're going to double.

Speaker 4 I went to Cornell, you know.

Speaker 13 That's Ivy League.

Speaker 11 But United.

Speaker 11 We used to play each other,

Speaker 11 but I don't know if you're going to be able to do it.

Speaker 18 I don't see a calculator out here.

Speaker 8 We rebut the rebuttal.

Speaker 11 Yes, please. Let me just finish.

Speaker 11 It's called a debate show.

Speaker 19 The nation will be stronger.

Speaker 15 And

Speaker 4 18 years, who the fuck knows what's going to be going on in 18 years? That's such a ridiculous.

Speaker 19 You'll be here telling these people.

Speaker 5 I hope so.

Speaker 8 What today show? I'll be 80, but I hope I will be.

Speaker 10 We're going to have a lot more beachfront property on that hairline.

Speaker 15 But

Speaker 15 what we're going to see

Speaker 13 there'll be beachfront property in Nebraska because of his environmental policy. That's where the beachfront property is.

Speaker 18 I give you that one.

Speaker 11 You'll give me that one.

Speaker 13 Yeah, it's just throwing the Earth.

Speaker 11 We have a problem with the economy.

Speaker 15 It's not just him, though. Okay.

Speaker 9 Richard, the whole

Speaker 14 rates, interest rates are going up in part because the tax cut was deeper than it needed to be, in part because the economy was already growing okay.

Speaker 14 The debt is going to skyrocket, which is going to force rates up. We're already seeing wages going up, causing, again, the Fed to raise rates.
What this is going to do is slow the economy.

Speaker 14 And what this is going to do, I think, is ultimately create a crisis.

Speaker 14 We're about climate change. the other big crisis, our debt.
We're going to have to raise the rate significantly to fund our debt.

Speaker 11 There's no way we are going to grow out of that.

Speaker 10 It's $13 trillion of it.

Speaker 14 No, but that was

Speaker 10 a due to two unnecessary wars.

Speaker 14 Big difference when you're coming out of a crisis like 2007-8. Right now we're creating the crisis.

Speaker 11 It is amazing when you guys are coming in.

Speaker 17 You're not acknowledging the fact that there's been 13

Speaker 10 that there's a bipartisan indictment on the table. There's a $13 trillion of debt was added over the last nine years.

Speaker 8 And you just added another.

Speaker 4 I mean, when you guys are out of power, we cannot spend a nickel. As soon as you get into power, it's like just write the checks.

Speaker 8 Richardson, I don't get it.

Speaker 10 Richard knows that the pay-as-you-go legislation that he put in place in the George Bush won administration.

Speaker 15 Okay, well, Dorman did it.

Speaker 10 Dorman came up with the pay-as-you-go legislation.

Speaker 15 This is a helpful

Speaker 15 budget.

Speaker 12 Started to right-side the budget.

Speaker 20 We shouldn't be talking about this as if there's you guys, as if there's two parties here. The Republican Party is a broken party.

Speaker 20 And there are people who have served the Republican Party that was, and there are people who are volunteering to serve the Republican Party that will be.

Speaker 20 But

Speaker 20 it is not to say that,

Speaker 20 as Anthony said when he denigrated the past Republican presidents, it is important to understand that something new is taking the place of the Republican Party that Richard New and I knew.

Speaker 4 I'm dividing both sides.

Speaker 10 I'm not denigrating the past Republican presidents. You racked up $20 trillion of debt on the American people.
Do you think the swamp is a really good business model for the American people? I think.

Speaker 10 17 years of war

Speaker 15 50,000, Cali.

Speaker 4 How's that swamp?

Speaker 17 I don't think it's drainable.

Speaker 18 I think it's a gold-plated hot tub.

Speaker 19 But when Trump thinks that he's going to

Speaker 9 mean that when he says, I'm going to drain the swamp, it was a lie. No, I don't think it was a lie.

Speaker 10 I think it was an ambition.

Speaker 11 And when he's gotten down there,

Speaker 8 he's a liar.

Speaker 4 You have to agree.

Speaker 11 Raise your hand in the room.

Speaker 17 But like, raise your hand in the room. We've never told a lie.
No, but.

Speaker 11 Raise your hand in the room. But not like six a day when you're in president.

Speaker 11 Raise your hand in the room.

Speaker 8 But wait, wait.

Speaker 4 We've never told a lie. But that's not, come on, that's not an answer.

Speaker 9 You know, that's an answer.

Speaker 10 You know, he's a sales guy.

Speaker 11 He's been a sales guy his whole life.

Speaker 4 When you're president, you. But again, it's just not new.

Speaker 10 You don't like the fact that he's a

Speaker 17 non-presidential.

Speaker 7 He's not a president.

Speaker 6 That's how I want to relate.

Speaker 11 He's not going to solve

Speaker 17 problems.

Speaker 11 Take it as normal.

Speaker 21 He's going to lie, lie, lie, lie.

Speaker 7 Like, as soon as this date of the union was over,

Speaker 11 it's the greatest ratings ever.

Speaker 19 The other presidents didn't lie.

Speaker 7 The other politicians didn't lie.

Speaker 8 Not like that.

Speaker 8 Not like that.

Speaker 10 We're living in a normative world.

Speaker 9 What you accept says who you are.

Speaker 20 What you accept says who you are.

Speaker 11 And it's like.

Speaker 20 And I think one of the peculiar and unexpected gifts of Donald Trump is that he has taught a lot of people to understand both the preciousness of truth and also the need to defend institutions like the FBI and the CIA.

Speaker 20 Maybe they wouldn't have gotten the big applause that they got tonight in this room.

Speaker 20 I think probably three years ago or four years ago, if you told the people in this room that Edward Snowden and Julian Assange were not heroes, they might think differently.

Speaker 20 I think now we all understand better. We understand who they were working for, what they were working to accomplish, and we see it in front of us now.

Speaker 4 I wouldn't lump them together quite that way. Julian Assange is a little different than the other guy, and Julian Assange somehow did get a little too in with Russia.

Speaker 20 And very close to the Trump campaign.

Speaker 4 I'm not sure that.

Speaker 10 Your anger towards Trump is clouding your judgment, but a good anger master class would help you think a little more about that.

Speaker 4 That is such a Michael Coralian line. No, but it is.

Speaker 11 It is.

Speaker 13 It's Godfather 3.

Speaker 11 Your anger is, don't let your anger cloud your judgment.

Speaker 8 No, really.

Speaker 8 I still believe no one is available to office.

Speaker 9 And that includes the president.

Speaker 20 Don't let your anger cloud your judgment, but don't let your ambitions also cloud your judgment.

Speaker 4 What does that even mean, though?

Speaker 16 You're talking about my ambition?

Speaker 12 What are you talking about?

Speaker 12 I lived a great life.

Speaker 15 What are you talking about?

Speaker 10 I went in there to try to serve the country and help the middle and lower middle class people that are struggling in this country.

Speaker 12 You got to wake up, brother. It was Donald Trump.

Speaker 16 You're living in like an ivory tower. You got to sit up.

Speaker 15 It was Donald Trump.

Speaker 11 It was Donald Trump.

Speaker 9 You only have to read the New York Post.

Speaker 18 You should get some of the Mexicone thing as a suppository and drop the end.

Speaker 6 So you should do it.

Speaker 11 You're like a mean guy.

Speaker 4 A mean guy.

Speaker 20 Okay. I'm not a weak guy.

Speaker 4 You're mean.

Speaker 8 And you're angry.

Speaker 4 You are so Canadian to be that way.

Speaker 4 Let me move on. Donna Brazil, aside from we're not Trump, the Democrats have a Gability unable to craft a simple, clear, appealing message to voters.

Speaker 4 What is it going to take for Democrats to wake up to this?

Speaker 22 We want an economy that works for everyone, period. I mean,

Speaker 22 we want an economy that works for every American, especially those Americans who are still struggling. And by the way, it is Black History Month.
Black unemployment went up a little bit.

Speaker 22 I want to just say something to the president if you get him on the phone tomorrow. Stop.
Leave us alone.

Speaker 22 It was under President Obama, it started going down, it kept going down, it kept going down, it ticked back up. So just leave us alone.

Speaker 4 The end of my show last week was all about how he picks fights with black people.

Speaker 8 Yeah, leave us alone.

Speaker 6 Leave us alone.

Speaker 7 Do you think he picks fights with black people?

Speaker 4 And then on Q, he did it with Jay-Z.

Speaker 4 But I had a list this long from Colin Kaepernick and Obama on top. He does seem to, the war widow, he seems to purposely get

Speaker 21 any

Speaker 21 credit

Speaker 10 for sitting with the Rainbow Coalition 25 years ago and getting the.

Speaker 4 refresh my memory

Speaker 4 25 years ago. What did he do?

Speaker 10 Yeah, he was part of Jesse Jackson's Rainbow Coalition.

Speaker 21 Remember Danny Jackson? What have you done for us lately?

Speaker 5 But he's also the guy.

Speaker 11 He answered from his audience.

Speaker 5 He's all about accepting.

Speaker 11 The Reverend Jesse was not water.

Speaker 11 Look, this is not about the penalty for the Central Park V, even though they were innocent.

Speaker 11 But does he get credit for discretion with his lack of

Speaker 8 Come on, come on.

Speaker 11 I don't remember that. I remember the Central Park V.

Speaker 4 I remember the Central Park V when he went after them even after they were innocent.

Speaker 8 And one of them

Speaker 11 was a lot of people. I'm not a statement about our country.
I'm very down here.

Speaker 21 I'm not a country.

Speaker 8 I'm a statement about our country.

Speaker 8 I'll call balls and strikes as I see him.

Speaker 12 Ask me to question him.

Speaker 11 I want to know what truck you're on, because you are.

Speaker 17 I'm on the Michael Corleone truck.

Speaker 4 He is very Michael Corleone. He doesn't raise his voice.
He's a quiet killer.

Speaker 18 A little bit too honest, though.

Speaker 10 I'm not like the typical backstabbing Washingtonian.

Speaker 22 Well, I'm like Tina Turner. I'm a private dancer, baby, but I don't dance for that kind of money.
I'm so sorry.

Speaker 6 Well,

Speaker 18 there's an after-party gone.

Speaker 17 I'm going to try to get you to dance.

Speaker 5 I'm not going to go there at all.

Speaker 22 By the way.

Speaker 4 Time for me to suck my own cock.

Speaker 5 Thank you very much, everybody.

Speaker 11 Never done that.

Speaker 5 I don't think you can do it. I'll take you under it.
