Speaker 4 Welcome to an HBO podcast from the HBO late night series, real time with Bill Maher.

Speaker 5 Hey, we are on overtime. Barbara Lee, are you satisfied with how the Democratic Party platform came out? I heard Bernie lost on everything.

Speaker 6 Bernie did not lose on everything. I'm actually

Speaker 6 a member of the drafting. I'm a member of the drafting committee of the platform, and I would say the negotiations between Senator Clinton, Secretary of State Clinton, and Senator Sanders

Speaker 6 views, points of views, the negotiations went very well. We got into the platform abolishing the death penalty, decriminalization of marijuana.

Speaker 6 Yes.

Speaker 10 Glassdeagle.

Speaker 5 What about carbon tax, Bernie Woods?

Speaker 6 No, and I supported the amendment for carbon tax, even though I was not a Sanders appointee.

Speaker 11 But we're taking that

Speaker 6 $15 an hour minimum wage. Yes, that's in the platform also.

Speaker 6 When you look at, yeah, health care is a human right. We didn't get Medicare.

Speaker 10 Are you a delegate?

Speaker 6 I have not endorsed either. I'm a super delegate, but I haven't super delegates.

Speaker 8 I have not endorsed Hillary Clinton.

Speaker 7 So, you are an available super delegate?

Speaker 10 I'm Sanders, and I'm helping work on the platform, trying to make the platform become what the American people want.

Speaker 12 And I think popularity.

Speaker 6 I think the Secretary of State and Senator Sanders are doing quite a fine job in moving the platform to where everyone can embrace it and campaign on it and be Donald Trump.

Speaker 7 The phone is ringing off the hook.

Speaker 13 It's not.

Speaker 5 Jim Gaffigan, how do you plan to keep your five children entertained when you go on tour with them this summer? Leave them with me.

Speaker 7 I love kids.

Speaker 14 Well, now that pot is legal,

Speaker 11 no,

Speaker 14 iPads, swimming pools. Right.

Speaker 7 Okay. So you take your kid.

Speaker 5 You take your kids on the road on your tour.

Speaker 14 We do. We go on a tour bus and we

Speaker 14 show a night. and now how many rooms do you have to get in the motel we get two connecting ones and uh you know it's chaos but it's fun

Speaker 5 i mean it's exhausting the words right out of my mouth

Speaker 7 you should come along i can't wait absolutely

Speaker 5 kids how old is the uh oldest now i have no idea

Speaker 15 12 12 10 7 5 3.

Speaker 7 oh my so you yeah

Speaker 5 and are you done now?

Speaker 7 I don't know.

Speaker 10 That's right, Catholic.

Speaker 7 Up to God.

Speaker 15 No, it's, I mean, it's, I know that's the rule that you think that like Jesus is telling us that, but I'm, you know, we're open to it.

Speaker 14 Look, I do like 10% of the work. My wife, I love children.
There's not a single child that I would trade back in. So if there's another one, there's another one.

Speaker 5 10% of the work. You're talking about your sex life?

Speaker 11 Yeah.

Speaker 10 Gary Johnson.

Speaker 12 I mean, I didn't think about it that way, but yeah, sure.

Speaker 10 That kind of fits, right?

Speaker 5 Gary Johnson, do you have a comprehensive plan to combat climate change?

Speaker 7 Well, I think.

Speaker 7 Follow that.

Speaker 16 Do I have a comprehensive plan?

Speaker 16 No.

Speaker 16 I do believe climate change is man-made. I do believe that the free market has really taken it to coal.

Speaker 16 Coal has been bankrupted.

Speaker 5 That's not because of the free market. That's because Obama and the EPA.

Speaker 16 No, coal is selling at an all-time low and even lower than

Speaker 16 the sales price for coal is natural gas. So no new plants.

Speaker 5 But that didn't happen because of the free market.

Speaker 16 Well, we're demanding less carbon emission as consumers, and the price of coal, like I say, as low as it is, is even natural gas is even lower. So no new plants are going to be built.

Speaker 5 So you think the free market can handle the problem of global warming?

Speaker 16 I think that we as consumers are demanding less carbon emission and that we're going to get.

Speaker 17 But that's sort of inherently weird, right?

Speaker 17 Like you have a problem that was caused by the Industrial Revolution, and you're a libertarian, so you want then the thing that caused it to magically uncause it or solve it.

Speaker 17 What other example has ever that happened?

Speaker 17 Well,

Speaker 16 if you look at the model for the future, I think the model for the future is Tesla. Look, you've got solar panels on the roof.
You're storing.

Speaker 17 Is there an example of like a public security or social problem that's been solved by its cause?

Speaker 7 You know,

Speaker 10 this stuff you're saying is just right over the top of my head.

Speaker 10 It's kind of a short question.

Speaker 5 No, I think it's an excellent question. And

Speaker 5 I honestly wish the Libertarian Party sounded less like the Republican Party on that issue, which to me is the most important issue.

Speaker 10 I mean, you know.

Speaker 10 Well, we're

Speaker 10 not going to be able to do that. We're 16%

Speaker 16 of the world's population.

Speaker 16 37% of the coal load, or the electrical load right now, is coming from coal. No new coal plants are going to be built.
We're going to significantly reduce CO2 emission in this country.

Speaker 5 Well, I hope Miami is still here when we do.

Speaker 5 Louise, who do you think will succeed David Cameron as Prime Minister now that nobody else wants it?

Speaker 18 Oh, quite a lot of people want to be able to.

Speaker 5 Boris Johnson

Speaker 18 doubts he's heads of cards still injected. So I think it'll be a guy called Michael Cove.

Speaker 12 Why did that happen?

Speaker 18 Probably because Boris was insufficiently committed to actually taking us out of Brexit. Yeah, I think he was having

Speaker 18 a little bit of a doubt. Yeah, we think he was a little bit lukewarm.
So maybe a guy called Michael Cove or a woman called Andrea Leadsome, my dark horse bet.

Speaker 18 Either one of those two, but it's going to be somebody that's fully committed to Brexit because we're all in for free trade. We like the free market.

Speaker 14 And who's going to end up on Game of Thrones? Who's going to do that?

Speaker 13 Well,

Speaker 18 we would have nominated Donald Trump if we could have caught him while he was in Scotland, but he made a quick getaway.

Speaker 5 Do you watch Game of Thrones?

Speaker 14 I do. Okay, so,

Speaker 5 like, for a family-friendly house like yours, that's not too violent and too dirty and too.

Speaker 14 I mean, I'm not making my three-year-old watch it.

Speaker 12 Right.

Speaker 11 I'm not having him watch Ramsey Bolton cut off the guy's penis.

Speaker 12 I don't know.

Speaker 11 Yeah, that's okay. We watch that.

Speaker 7 I mean, not the young kids.

Speaker 5 What's the most out there show you can handle?

Speaker 7 That I can handle?

Speaker 5 Well, well, I mean.

Speaker 11 Well, I don't want to hear any strong language, Bill.

Speaker 11 I mean, yeah, I mean,

Speaker 7 we'll watch everything.

Speaker 14 Actually, I let my 10 and 12-year-old watch Walking Dead, which is pretty ridiculous, but

Speaker 14 they love the stories.

Speaker 7 Okay.

Speaker 10 Is that the right answer? Yeah, that no.

Speaker 5 There are no wrong answers here.

Speaker 10 There's lots of

Speaker 18 martyr stories in Catholicism. I'm a Catholic, too.
So

Speaker 18 we're raised with really, with quite a lot of torture born in the religion. People getting crushed to death by stones and burnt alive and having their tongues rested on the body.

Speaker 7 How about you know who?

Speaker 5 That's torture.

Speaker 18 Yeah, that's right. That's pretty much everywhere.
So, I mean, we actually were first on Game of Thrones. We should sue for royalties, I think.

Speaker 12 Right?

Speaker 5 You know, Mel Mel Gibson is making a sequel to Passion of the Christ.

Speaker 1 Wow.

Speaker 5 You didn't know that?

Speaker 11 I didn't.

Speaker 14 I mean, it's not like I would know.

Speaker 9 I mean,

Speaker 15 I'm just Catholic. I'm not a spokesman.

Speaker 13 And yet,

Speaker 10 it's like I'm the only, essentially I'm the only comedian who believes in God.

Speaker 11 It's like me and Colbert.

Speaker 13 I know nothing.

Speaker 12 Right. Okay.

Speaker 6 You know what, though? I was raised a Catholic in the Catholic Church.

Speaker 6 I'm not a Catholic anymore, but it was the social justice message of the Bible and of Jesus Christ and the revolutionary nature of his life that really,

Speaker 6 you know, encouraged me to be a Catholic, and that was my reason for it. Why did I quit? Why did I quit? Because

Speaker 8 I could not handle the Catholicism

Speaker 6 on women, on women,

Speaker 6 on divorce, on all of the issues that oppress people,

Speaker 6 especially women. I just couldn't handle it, and so that's why I had to leave.

Speaker 14 But like, look, the United States has done horrible things. Why don't you leave the United States?

Speaker 6 I'm going to stay here and try to help make it better.

Speaker 6 I decided I wasn't going to do that with this religion, because there are many other religions I couldn't.

Speaker 14 I know, I'm just messing.

Speaker 17 But your democracy comparison is weird because the United States does those things and people actively oppose it. In a religion, it's one truth that you're subscribing to.
It's different.

Speaker 18 Not exactly.

Speaker 7 Oh, yeah, I'm not sure.

Speaker 5 I noticed the prosecutor news out during overtime.

Speaker 7 Where was this during the show?

Speaker 12 All right, thank you, everybody.
