Overtime – Episode #408 (Originally aired 10/28/16)

Welcome to an HBO podcast from the HBO late night series, real time with Bill Ma.

We're on the after show.

Van, how do you maintain friendships with ardent Trump supporters like Jeffrey Lord and Kaylee McInaney?

Hard drugs.

No, no, no.

I don't do drugs.

Oh, you guys had a lot longer.

I actually never.

I felt like I was.

You've never had a drink either?

I felt so bad.

You should feel bad.

Anyway, so.

You don't know what you're missing.

It's never too late.

I could get you fucked up.

Frankly, hanging around Jeffrey Lord has got me pretty fucked up.

You'll think you're Van Johnson when you leave here.

Can I just vouch, though?

I just see Van, we do CNN together occasionally, and he's always just a nice guy to people offset.

And I appreciate that.

I appreciate that.

And I'll tell you why.

Everybody's focused on.

But listen, no, no, no, this is pure self-interest.

Everybody's focused on Tuesday, the day of the election.

I'm focused on Wednesday, the day after the election, when the Trump voters are not leaving America, the Clinton voters are not leaving America, Black Lives Matter is not leaving, and the cops aren't leaving.

We're all going to be here together.

We need to start working it out.

Chelsea, how would you compare sexism in Hollywood to sexism in politics?

I guess, you know, sexism is pretty, I mean, rampant everywhere.

I think watching Hillary and having her do this, like to think about what somebody goes through for any campaign and then to think that she's done this so many times, like, and the idea that that's labeled, like to all the young girls that are growing up in this country, that's, she's vilified so much because she's got ambition.

Like,

why are we saying that that's bad, that she has an agenda?

Her agenda is public service.

She's not evil.

Yeah, she's not perfect.

You know, they do some like sketchy things.

That's, I'm okay with it.

Like, I'm okay with a little bit of that.

I don't think she's, she, I think that the sexism plays such a major role in this election.

What thing it means is that you have the most qualified woman person.

No, no, I'm going to, I want to keep it gendered.

The most qualified woman in the history of the world versus the least qualified human being to do anything at all.

When he said earlier on your show, when he said earlier about if this were a black man, it's like if Hillary were, you know, if Hillary had filed bankruptcy four times with huge, few, four huge casinos, if she had been caught on tape saying these things, if she had done half of this shit, she wouldn't be a nominee.

He's a nominee.

The whole deal about,

very honestly, about Hillary being the most qualified person.

I'm like, what has she done?

Syria,

there's 500,000 people that have been murdered in Syria.

There's a war in Syria.

You don't really know what I'm saying.

The war is on fire.

There's not been a single alliance with the Secretary of State.

We're not on the network anymore.

We're just a terrorist foreign policy official.

But Secretary of State cannot control the world.

It's not really.

Wait, wait, wait.

She traveled to 100 countries

in four years working out negotiations.

Well, how many alliances did she build?

Hold on.

Zero.

No, that's not true.

That's not true.

Here's a new NATO.

Where's the Asia?

We have NATO.

It was built in 1949.

Exactly.

The other asshole wants to get rid of it.

I'm just saying, I just call out

everything.

I think you're attracted to her.

That's what I'm attracted to.

Can I show you something?

That's not the same thing.

You say whatever you want to do.

Jay Barbs walked toward her.

Didn't make a movie hour.

All right.

Didn't make a movie on her.

Honestly, I'll give you two.

One,

Hamas, Israel.

They could have been in a massive, I mean, you would have had dead children across the Middle East.

She got in there and stopped it in 12 hours.

That is very, very difficult.

And by the way, also, Libya was about stopping dead children.

And that was a humanitarian.

We got in there for a humanitarian reason.

And

people forget that.

And the other thing is, let's not forget.

But she gets credit for that.

She gets credit for that, but not

take any blame for Syria.

How can she do that?

She take blame for Syria.

Why is she blaming Syria?

What could the person do?

She's a top foreign policy

official in the administration.

But you're saying she could get onto the phone to the nefarious people we can't even identify who are fighting the government and tell these people who we don't even know who they are, don't do it.

No, I'm saying that she couldn't.

It's just a lot of people.

She said they could have had a safe passage for refugees.

They could have grounded the Air Force.

She was a fan of the Russian reset, don't forget.

Talk about Russia.

She's so screwed up.

She wasn't even positioned by that point.

But I'll give you one point.

Well, Trump always says that, too.

He says, in the debates, he's like,

she's been there for 30 years.

Yes, as First Lady, she should have personally rewritten the tax code.

Right.

Listen, I'm not going to let you get away with this.

I'm not going to let you get away with this.

Listen, seriously.

Iran,

she has no alliances.

She went and got Russia.

She went and got China and most of the world to squeeze Iran in a way that got us out of a fast track under George W.

Bush for them to have nuclear weapons.

That is very tough to do.

What have you done, by the way, to come remotely close to anything like that?

First of all, I'll say, number one, I was the author of the public housing reform, the biggest housing reform in 60 years.

That's exactly true.

Number one, number two,

I was the author of a bill that allowed disabled people to go back to work and keep their health care.

And once Donald Trump's housing,

but I'm just saying.

But

what did you do about the cattle futures, Rick?

What about the cattle futures?

I was just sleeping the switch with that.

You fucked up by that one, Aaron.

All right.

Okay.

Thank you, everybody.

You're a great crowd.

We'll see you next week.

President Obama.
