Speaker 1 Charlie Sheen is an icon of decadence.
Speaker 2 I lit the fuse and my life turns into everything it wasn't supposed to be.
Speaker 3 He's going the distance.
Speaker 4 He was the highest paid TV star of all time.
Speaker 2 When it started to change, it was quick. He kept saying, No, no, no, I'm in the hospital now, but next week I'll be ready for the show.
Speaker 7 Now, Charlie's sober.
Speaker 8 He's gonna tell you the truth.
Speaker 2
How do I present this with any class? I think we're past that, Charlie. We're past that, yeah.

Speaker 9 Welcome to an HBO podcast from the HBO late night series, Real Time with Bill Maher.
Speaker 9 Afternoon, time will be
Speaker 9 real time.
Speaker 9
Thank you very much. Sit down.
Thank you very much.
Speaker 9 Oh, stop it. Sit down.
Speaker 9 You'll tire yourself out.
Speaker 9
Awesome. All right.
Thank you. Thank you.
Thank you. Thank you.
Oh, what a.
Speaker 9 Thank you very much, folks.
Speaker 10 You are, let me tell you something. You are.
Speaker 13 You are surprisingly fresh for a week that included a lot of heavy drinking.
Speaker 15 It was Cinco de Mayo yesterday.
Speaker 17 And also Trump is going to be the Republican nominee.
Speaker 16 So
Speaker 19 they don't make Corona strong enough for that.
Speaker 20 That's right. Did you see Donald Trump yesterday?
Speaker 14 For Cinco DeMayo, he tweeted out a picture of him eating a taco bowl and said,
Speaker 24 happy Cinco DeMayo.
Speaker 13 I love Hispanics.
Speaker 10 And they love him.
Speaker 3 Oh, they love him.
Speaker 25 He's at all the children's parties here in L.A.
Speaker 28 as the piñata.
Speaker 10 But you know, they said it couldn't happen.
Speaker 19 They said it wouldn't happen.
Speaker 29 It happened.
Speaker 30 Donald Trump is going to be the Republican nominee for president.
Speaker 32 You know, I have taken a lot of crap over the years for saying this is a stupid country.
Speaker 33 I should have trademarked it.
Speaker 13 Everybody keeps saying it's a reality show.
Speaker 12 Yeah, Fear Factor.
Speaker 19 I feel like I know how Dracula got to run Transylvania.
Speaker 32 They had primaries, there were debates, and then the other vampires just couldn't stand Ted Cruz.
Speaker 10 I mean, yeah, that's what happened.
Speaker 29 It all ended Tuesday night in Indiana.
Speaker 38 Ted Cruz bit it bad.
Speaker 21 I mean, the Republicans, all they had to do was come up with one motherfucker who was more popular than Donald Trump, and they couldn't do that.
Speaker 41 If you're wondering why even Republicans could not stand Ted Cruz, he said in his concession speech, I am not making this up.
Speaker 44 This is why we hate politicians.
Speaker 21 He said, just a few days ago, two young kids, four and six, handed me two envelopes full of change, all of their earnings from their lemonade stand.
Speaker 30 Right, a four-year-old is concerned with the direction of the country.
Speaker 46 Here, Mr.
Speaker 25 Cruz, take all my money, use it to defeat Donald Trump.
Speaker 46 He's not a true conservative.
Speaker 35 The six-year-old said he would have done it sooner, but he was waiting to see if Bloomberg got in.
Speaker 33 Now, I am beginning to think this whole election is taking place inside the mind of this disturbed child.
Speaker 36 And that child, of course, is Dr.
Speaker 32 Ben Carson.
Speaker 20 Yes, gentle Ben was, he's been appointed to find Trump's vice president.
Speaker 40 We're at the point now where the crazy people are appointing each other to do jobs.
Speaker 3 And
Speaker 12 so on the short list of course is Chris Christie.
Speaker 32 He was the first on the Trump train, Trump and Plump.
Speaker 21 It'll be
Speaker 24 quite a campaign
Speaker 3 and
Speaker 32 Chris Christie has already assured Donald Trump that he does not have any skeletons in the closet.
Speaker 24 Baby back ribs in the bed, yes.
Speaker 3 Listen,
Speaker 16 I mean,
Speaker 25 this is the reality we're living in.
Speaker 52 They're talking about Trump's vice president.
Speaker 25 He's already talking about what he's going to do in his first hundred days.
Speaker 17 He said, by the end of his first hundred days, the wall with Mexico will be designed, immigration ban on Muslims will be in place, and the repeal of Obamacare will be in motion, and all of us will be in Canada.
Speaker 10 And by the way,
Speaker 8 there may be quite a few Republicans with us.
Speaker 32 The party is split in a way I have never seen before.
Speaker 40 The Republican establishment is not necessarily going along supporting Donald Trump.
Speaker 38 He's racist, he's sexist, he's belligerent.
Speaker 29 There are also some things about him they don't like.
Speaker 29 Oh, I can't.
Speaker 50 Nope, it's true.
Speaker 25 The last two Republican presidents, Bush Sr.
Speaker 42 and Bush Jr., they're not going to the convention.
Speaker 30 The last two nominees, Mitt Romney, John McCain, they don't want any part of it. They're not going to the convention.
Speaker 55 Lindsey Graham says he won't go, but that's just because he has nothing to wear.
Speaker 41 And that's nothing to do with politics.
Speaker 56 No, I mean,
Speaker 3 Paul Ryan.
Speaker 32 He is the leading Republican in the country, the Speaker of the House.
Speaker 57 He is the chairman of the convention.
Speaker 29 Yesterday said he will not endorse Donald Trump.
Speaker 24 He said he wants to.
Speaker 52 He hopes to.
Speaker 19 He said he's not there yet.
Speaker 29 He doesn't want to rush into it.
Speaker 18 This Donald Trump, tell me more.
Speaker 24 I've not heard enough about
Speaker 46 who is this Donald Trump.
Speaker 52 Like Trump is going to change.
Speaker 18 This is what magical thinking gets you.
Speaker 32 When you believe in a talking snake, you believe an orangutan can transform into a statesman.
Speaker 32 I mean,
Speaker 25 I almost feel sorry for them, but you know what?
Speaker 34 This is what you get. Republicans spent years whipping their voters into sexist, xenophobic, self-righteous frenzy, and now they're stuck with Donald Trump.
Speaker 14 It's like finally convincing your wife to have a threesome, and then she brings home a guy.
Speaker 10 All right, we got a great show and culture. Dan Savage and Nick Gillespie are here and the little every sticking with the immensely talented Brian Cranston is backstage.
Speaker 21 But
Speaker 18 first up for the last 11 years he has run one of the most successful drug treatment clinics in America.
Speaker 41 Please welcome the founder and CEO of the Cliffside Malibu Treatment Center and co-author of Ending Addiction for Good, Richard Tate.
Speaker 12 Richard,
Speaker 10 how are you, sir?
Speaker 3 Good, thank you.
Speaker 10 Great to have you here.
Speaker 3 Thank you.
Speaker 44 I think you know why you're here.
Speaker 3 Sure.
Speaker 32 It's an intervention for me. No, I'm kidding.
Speaker 32 No, it's because there's an epidemic in America, and it is about drug abuse, and you know more about this than possibly anybody because you yourself were an addict, and then you started a treatment center.
Speaker 30 You're like the hair club for men guy,
Speaker 3 but with heroin.
Speaker 50 So tell us about your drug days and why you didn't find them fun.
Speaker 1 I did actually find them fun, okay?
Speaker 16 Right, drugs are fun.
Speaker 19 Drugs are fun.
Speaker 47 What's the problem? Right.
Speaker 42 No one admits that.
Speaker 47
Drugs are fun. Drugs are fun.
Thank you for being here.
Speaker 1 But like anything else, it stops working after a certain period of time.
Speaker 54 Especially drugs.
Speaker 42 There's always this honeymoon period.
Speaker 21 That's right. Some drugs have, like, liquor always works.
Speaker 60 Sure.
Speaker 42 Pot always works, but it does diminish. But there are some drugs, like opiates, we're going to get into, cocaine, where it's like you only get like three months, it's a balloon payment, and then
Speaker 14 it falls right off the chart, right?
Speaker 54 Right.
Speaker 1 Well, the thing about
Speaker 1 the prescription drug epidemic, it's so bad. When Cliffside Malibu opened
Speaker 1 in 2005, about 20% of the people that came to us had a problem with prescription opiates. Today it's 90%.
Speaker 3 Right.
Speaker 42 Right. Yeah.
Speaker 36 I mean, you know how I knew it was bad? I was watching the Super Bowl this year, and there was a commercial for opioid-induced constipation.
Speaker 3 Right.
Speaker 42 I said, wow, because a Super Bowl commercial, the most expensive thing in the world, I said, if this is this widespread that on the Super Bowl, they're doing ads for people who can't shit because they're on.
Speaker 42 And when we talk about opioid, what are the actual names of the drugs we're talking about?
Speaker 32 Oxycontin,
Speaker 3 Percocet, Percocet,
Speaker 1 codeine, fentanyl, right?
Speaker 42 And these constipate you, apparently.
Speaker 1 Yes, but here's the thing to know. So you've got the heroin over here that's enriching the drug cartels, and then you've got all this litany of pills that are enriching the pharmaceutical companies.
Speaker 1
So what they say is don't use this, use this. Same thing, by the way.
Same thing.
Speaker 38 Just legal heroin.
Speaker 44 They're always called oxycontin, hillbilly heroin.
Speaker 1 It certainly is. I mean, I've done heroin, I've done oxycontin, and they're the same thing.
Speaker 1
Same thing. So I don't think I, you know, I don't think I know, I know I know, I've done it.
Right. So
Speaker 1
and then you get off that and you get on to heroin light, which is suboxone. They call it harm reduction.
And then...
Speaker 42 Like methadone?
Speaker 1
Absolutely. It's modern day methadone.
And then they say, oh, wait a minute, you're not going to be able to defecate, so you've got to use this pill.
Speaker 1 I actually took a picture of that commercial and put it on my Facebook.
Speaker 1 It was blown away by it.
Speaker 42 Too much information, man.
Speaker 27 Okay. No, I'm kidding.
Speaker 39 That's the least of the information.
Speaker 32 But yeah, I mean, we see this on the news every day: that
Speaker 39 white people are doing heroin.
Speaker 65 And then when you read the background to this, it's because they started on the prescription drug pills because no one wants pain.
Speaker 40 And of course, who wants pain?
Speaker 16 Nobody wants pain.
Speaker 60 But then they can't afford it, or they get cut off by their doctor.
Speaker 61 So what do they do?
Speaker 42 They go to the drug that, as you just said, is the same thing, which is heroin.
Speaker 1 Right, but the thing about this, and I get your point, and it's well taken,
Speaker 1 the thing about it is you can be black or white, rich or poor, straight or gay.
Speaker 1
This thing, this epidemic that we've got right now, doesn't discriminate. Right.
It's killing everybody.
Speaker 32 Prince was all of them, and he was on it.
Speaker 26 Right.
Speaker 10 And look, I mean, look,
Speaker 33 people get very emotional when their rock stars die.
Speaker 36 I mean, I was a big Prince fan.
Speaker 8 We all were.
Speaker 19 And we're not talking out of school.
Speaker 42 The autopsy report is not back yet, if there ever's going to be one.
Speaker 33 But it's pretty clear that he was on,
Speaker 19 I think it was Perkis, that he had it on his body when they found him in his house.
Speaker 42 I've done a lot of drugs too, Doc. Let me tell you something.
Speaker 45 When you got the drugs on you in your house, it's one thing when you go out of the house.
Speaker 43 When you don't think you can make it to the next room,
Speaker 3 it's like, I don't know,
Speaker 13 that coffee table is far away.
Speaker 46 Let me just put these in my bathrobe.
Speaker 14 That's a serious drug problem.
Speaker 1 So
Speaker 1 here's the important takeaway, right? We know that he was probably on those opiates for hip pain.
Speaker 1
We also have reports that he had sleep problems. Sleep medication with prescription opiates is a disaster.
It's lethal.
Speaker 1 You can't take those two at the same time.
Speaker 36 Why did he die?
Speaker 54 Because the opiates slowly sort of suffocate you, they suppress respiration, is that right?
Speaker 1
Right, but they're not made. These opiates are not made for long-term care.
So the CDC just came out and offered up a report and last, I think, 30 days. And what they said was
Speaker 1 three days to seven days. That's it.
Speaker 1 So the FDA comes out and says, we like what you just said. Why don't we get all these doctors together and start coaching them up and nip this epidemic in the bud? Sure.
Speaker 1 And what happened was, the pharmaceutical industry, the lobby, came out and pushed back against it and said,
Speaker 1 right? Like all of a sudden, they're the AMA lobby.
Speaker 37 Right? I mean, they were really concerned.
Speaker 42 Well, I mean, it's important to note that America's 5% of the world's population uses 75%
Speaker 65 of the prescription drugs in the world.
Speaker 61 That's a pretty amazing statistic.
Speaker 1 At least.
Speaker 1 And what's even more important is that right now you've got
Speaker 1 27 million people in the country who are abusing these drugs, but only 2.5 million were able to get treatment.
Speaker 1 And every candidate, the president, the drug czar, everybody thinks we need more treatment. And then there are these local communities,
Speaker 1 even in California, a liberal place like California.
Speaker 1 They just introduced a bill, AB 2403, that's going to decimate, I mean, take away thousands of treatment beds that we need.
Speaker 42 Let me ask you one last question that's a little broader about society.
Speaker 38 I mean, I was a kid in the 60s.
Speaker 61 The drugs were LSD and marijuana, psychedelic, stuff like that.
Speaker 43 In the 70s, you moved into cocaine and qualudes.
Speaker 61
In the 90s, it was ecstasy. And now it's opiates.
What does the fact that opiates is the drug of choice say about our society now as opposed to our society in other decades?
Speaker 1 So I think that
Speaker 1
we are a society that is depressed. We're a depressive society.
I don't know if it has to do with Trump.
Speaker 10 It all comes back to Trump.
Speaker 27 Right, for sure.
Speaker 1 I don't know if it has to do with income inequality or the lack of opportunity
Speaker 1 or just life on life's terms because it can be hard sometimes, right?
Speaker 37 Capitalism, when you don't ameliorate it with, you know, some things, is pretty rough on people.
Speaker 42 There's a lot of losers in society, and that's the way we want it here in America, apparently.
Speaker 26 But yeah, I get your point.
Speaker 1 Well, when you're depressed, you have this type of learned helplessness, if you will, right?
Speaker 1 And when you take a painkiller, they call it painkillers for a reason. And it actually works better on emotional pain than it does on physical pain.
Speaker 1 So when you take the painkiller and you're depressed, you go,
Speaker 3 okay,
Speaker 1 I'm good.
Speaker 3 And you're hooked.
Speaker 54 All right.
Speaker 61 I'll see you after the show at the parking lot.
Speaker 27 All right.
Speaker 3 Just a minute.
Speaker 14 Thank you. I appreciate you.
Speaker 3 Thank you.
Speaker 3 Let's meet our panel.
Speaker 3 Terrible.
Speaker 27
Terrible things, I say. I don't know why I do it.
All right.
Speaker 10 Let's meet our panel.
Speaker 18 He is the editor-in-chief of Reason.com and Reason TV and co-author of the Declaration of Independence.
Speaker 41 Nick Gillespie's back with us. Nick, how you doing?
Speaker 20 He writes the nationally syndicated column Savage Love and hosts the Savage Lovecast podcast.
Speaker 21 Dan Savage is right now.
Speaker 58 And she's the author of Adios America, the left's plan to turn our country into a third world hellhole.
Speaker 13 And Coulter is over here.
Speaker 10 Come on, give it up.
Speaker 59 Remember to send us your questions for tonight's overtime so we can answer them after the show on YouTube.
Speaker 63 All right, I'm going to break format tonight and start with a clip.
Speaker 55 This is from our overtime.
Speaker 32 You know, we do overtime, which is something we do for the internet after the show.
Speaker 36 If people want to like, they don't know why they do this, turn off HBO and turn on your computer.
Speaker 18 But this is from the last time you were on the show.
Speaker 21 This is when there were many, many, many Republican presidential candidates still in the race.
Speaker 55 And here's the question that someone asked, and I relate it to you.
Speaker 48 And here's what happened.
Speaker 14 Okay, here we are.
Speaker 20 And which Republican candidate has the best chance of winning the general election
Speaker 4 of the declared ones right now, Donald Trump.
Speaker 4 Well,
Speaker 10 go ahead.
Speaker 14 You gloats. Eat crow.
Speaker 4 You want to get your stock tips from me now.
Speaker 27 Yeah, I.
Speaker 67 No one ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American people.
Speaker 38 Well, a lot of people apparently have, because a lot of people said he wouldn't even win a primary.
Speaker 36 So last week, Rob Reiner, who I love, was here, and we ended the show by saying, I think Hillary's going to
Speaker 19 win in a landslide.
Speaker 42 And I said, don't say that.
Speaker 54 So I'm I'm giving you credit for that, and I also want to use you to scare liberals.
Speaker 62 But I ask you right now, can Trump win the general election?
Speaker 4 It's possible. I don't know.
Speaker 21 Hear that?
Speaker 5 Wait, you're.
Speaker 3 She sounds a lot less certain.
Speaker 4 No, I mean, what I would say about Trump is, and that's why I'm so glad it's Trump, I think he will do better than any other Republican could have as the result of this primary election show.
Speaker 4 He does represent not only the Republican Party, but large segments of the Democratic Party that has been being ignored, ignored. We have been asking for the wall.
Speaker 4 We have been asking for a decrease in immigration. And time after time, the people rise up, shut down amnesty, throw out Dave Bratt beats Eric Canter, and they can't learn.
Speaker 4 Well, I think we know now the wall is popular.
Speaker 5 We have a timeout on immigration.
Speaker 5
We already have one because our economy sucks worse than Mexico. So there's been net out-migration of Mexicans.
They're going back.
Speaker 3 That is not true.
Speaker 18 Our economy sucks worse than Mexico's.
Speaker 13 There has been a money. Why don't you move there?
Speaker 3 Yeah, you know what?
Speaker 3 He doesn't speak the language. He's wrong about that.
Speaker 67 Our economy is not worse than Mexico's, but we have one million fewer Mexican immigrants.
Speaker 3 They even leave the country now than we did seven years ago.
Speaker 67 But that's what the government says.
Speaker 5 And the rest of the country.
Speaker 4 The government says we have 11 million illegals.
Speaker 3 They're wrong about that, too.
Speaker 3 It's older than fewer.
Speaker 11 Can the party win that is so split?
Speaker 32 I mean, George Will is
Speaker 8 somebody I've been reading my whole life.
Speaker 32 I don't always agree with him, but sometimes he's persuasive.
Speaker 30 He's an amazing thinker.
Speaker 41 He hates me, by the way, which I love.
Speaker 53 I wouldn't have it any other way.
Speaker 3 Even more. Right.
Speaker 42 And he said, he is against Trump big time.
Speaker 30 He said, this is a time for prudence, which demands the prevention of a Trump presidency.
Speaker 47 He says, conservatives have two tasks.
Speaker 38 The first is to help him lose 50 states
Speaker 30 and keep Hillary to one term.
Speaker 30 How can you win when a party is split this much?
Speaker 54 The party is not split.
Speaker 4
Trump has gotten more votes than anyone else running in a Republican primary. You were talking about a few sore losers.
Not a few. Now they know how I feel when McCain was running.
Speaker 4 So I hope they're enjoying it. And by the way, I wasn't as much of a little bitch as George Will is me.
Speaker 3 But Ann,
Speaker 20 Bobby Jindal says Donald Trump is a narcissist and he's an egomaniac.
Speaker 30 I wouldn't want his fingers on the nuclear codes, but he's going to vote for him.
Speaker 13 Peter King.
Speaker 8 Wait, Peter King, a guy calls Trump a guy with no knowledge of what's going on, but he's going to vote for him.
Speaker 8 Rick Perry calls him a cancer on conservative.
Speaker 3 But he's going to vote for cancer.
Speaker 67 Eddie offered to be his running mate.
Speaker 3 He offered to be Cancer's running mate.
Speaker 25 Is this the country first?
Speaker 4 Okay, let's look at what Sanders said about Hillary, point one. But point two,
Speaker 4 Trump is crushing the primaries.
Speaker 3 He got half a million more votes than Romney did in Florida.
Speaker 4 He got half a million more votes in the Republican primary in Florida than the Democrats got.
Speaker 4 He's the party.
Speaker 5
Like, nobody is going to go, oh, I'm with Jindal. Whatever Jindal wants, I'll do.
I mean, these are like loser candidates.
Speaker 5 But what Trump is good at, and I dislike Trump because he is a perfect Republican.
Speaker 5 Every one of his points, from the stupid wall to, you know, bombing countries, et cetera, all of the, he's just doing exactly what the Republicans have said that we should be doing for a long time.
Speaker 3 Not at all. Yes, what the base has been saying, they've been ignoring.
Speaker 21 That's the difference.
Speaker 67 And that's the problem for the Republican Party because they've reached a point where they need to, like Bertold Brecht said about East Germany, they need to dissolve the base and elect a new one.
Speaker 69 And they can't.
Speaker 67 The problem is the base.
Speaker 67 They've been cranking up, gathering together every rube, racist, nutjob, sexist, homophobe in the country, calling them Republicans, and finally they voted for one of their own.
Speaker 3
But wait. But he's the lust.
He's the least.
Speaker 3 But wait.
Speaker 3 I just want you to be.
Speaker 4 I want you to be the spokesman for Hillary Clinton without
Speaker 4 going to be a big game for the American people who are overwhelmingly voting for Trump. 20%.
Speaker 67 So the GOP base, which is overwhelmingly rubes, idiots, sexists, racists, are overwhelmingly voting for Trump.
Speaker 67
The American people are not going to overwhelmingly vote for Trump. I'm with you.
I'm a Catholic. I'm very not into jinxing things.
So I'm not going to say Hillary's going to win in a landscape.
Speaker 3 Look at Massachusetts. 20,000.
Speaker 67 American people are not the GOP base.
Speaker 3 Massachusetts is what you're arguing.
Speaker 4 In Massachusetts, no, I'm not. I'm saying in Massachusetts, 20,000 Democrats switched their registration to Republican to vote for Trump.
Speaker 4 In Pennsylvania, 60,000 Democrats switched their registration to Republicans.
Speaker 3 And how many of them were monkey red?
Speaker 3 This is the country.
Speaker 5
Hillary is widely disliked. She's got like a 55% unfavorability rating.
The minute she starts talking, that will go higher. She's awful.
I think she's as bad as Trump in different ways.
Speaker 5 But what Trump has going for him, just as a tactician, he knows how, like, he knows next week you've got another episode.
Speaker 5 And he's going to throw something out there and he's going to mix it up every time he was written off.
Speaker 14 Next week. Next hour.
Speaker 3 Yeah, I mean,
Speaker 3
I would not be honest with you. That's not fun.
I mean,
Speaker 3 it is fun.
Speaker 5 The odds are against him, but I bet you he will run like the greatest, most entertaining campaign of all time.
Speaker 21 But this is not entertainment. This is supposed to be a country.
Speaker 21 It is important to be entertaining.
Speaker 3 Look at you. Politics.
Speaker 3 All the time you're there to discuss.
Speaker 29 I know, but I'm not running for president.
Speaker 4 No, I know, I'm saying that, but people watch you.
Speaker 4 They start laughing. In the case of Trump, you're watching because he's fun and entertaining, and then you start thinking, oh, wait, I agree with that.
Speaker 4 He has 30,000 people at his rallies.
Speaker 34 So what?
Speaker 25 You know, I could let loose a zoo animal, and there would be people.
Speaker 3 I don't think you could.
Speaker 14 I couldn't?
Speaker 4 I don't think there would be 30,000 people coming out and cheering every time he talks about the wall that zoo is.
Speaker 67 Historically, a lot of people coming to your rallies can be problematic
Speaker 14 like Obama okay okay but 20% of Republicans say they will vote for Hillary and there are Republicans like Kelly Ayot
Speaker 25 who say she will not uh endorse him but she supports him which is a little like saying I'll fuck you but I won't be seen in public with you
Speaker 20 Paul Ryan as I mentioned in the monologue, this is the titular head of the party.
Speaker 3 No, he isn't. He is the speaker of the hate.
Speaker 4 He's not by the base.
Speaker 24 He's not hated by the base.
Speaker 4 He's absolutely hated. He's the next Eric Cantor, who was the highest member of leadership ever to lose in a primary.
Speaker 5 What you are seeing here, quite possibly within Anne herself, it's the implosion of the Republican Party.
Speaker 3 You know what? It is breaking down.
Speaker 5 And by the way, as a libertarian, I can't wait for this to happen because the Republican Party for years has always talked a libertarian line out where you want small government, this and that.
Speaker 5 And all they have done on every level on personal liberties as well as wars and on international regulation, they're terrible. So I want to see it implode.
Speaker 5 And I hope neither of the two halves come back to life. And then I want to see the Democrats.
Speaker 21 Let me ask you.
Speaker 4 We're getting rid of the dead wood is all.
Speaker 62 Does it matter to you that Trump is going to crash the markets?
Speaker 24 Because let me tell you something.
Speaker 18 What the markets hate, they hate volatility.
Speaker 42 He is personification of volatility.
Speaker 32 They hate uncertainty. That's exactly who he is.
Speaker 67 He threatened today to default on the U.S. debt.
Speaker 32 Exactly.
Speaker 11 They hate trade wars.
Speaker 53 They hate debt.
Speaker 18 He is all those things put together.
Speaker 8 Who but Donald Trump would threaten to default on our
Speaker 24 bonds, the one thing that the world buys because they are known to be the safest thing in the world.
Speaker 34 And he talks about them like he's negotiating with some guy who's putting in a stairway in a building up.
Speaker 67 Because he doesn't know what they are.
Speaker 11 Right. he's the great businessman.
Speaker 20 He doesn't know anything about money.
Speaker 25 He thinks we can get rid of our debt in eight years.
Speaker 67 If you're born with enough money, you don't really have to know anything about it.
Speaker 3 That is true.
Speaker 3
He knows about money. And you're...
Well, he doesn't have 10 billion.
Speaker 10 You misunderstanding.
Speaker 4 Well, I don't really care, but he sure owns a lot of property that seems to be worth a lot of money. Anyway, I think you're misunderstanding
Speaker 4
what you're calling volatility. He's saying unpredictability in foreign policy.
And yeah, okay, we're not going to tell ISIS what we're doing. We're going to negotiate tough with China.
Speaker 4 I don't think our foreign policy should be based on what Wall Street wants.
Speaker 32 Okay, but he's already in a feud with the Speaker of the House.
Speaker 20 This is not something that the market is.
Speaker 4
No, he's not. He's been very nice.
I think the problem is with the Speaker of the House.
Speaker 5 But you also have to understand
Speaker 5 the Republicans now, the leadership, they have like until the convention to kind of negotiate with him a little bit, they have no leverage. He's run the table.
Speaker 5
So they're going to be like, oh, you know, know, I'm holding off a little bit. Paul Ryan has already said I'm not endorsing him yet.
You know he's going to. Really do, you know, you don't want H.W.
Speaker 5
Bush or W. Bush at that convention if you want to win in the fall.
Just, I mean, as a straight strategy.
Speaker 3 So he's doing a good job.
Speaker 21 But okay, but we're past the part where we're talking about winning.
Speaker 32 Now we're talking about what he's going to do, what this great businessman is going to do.
Speaker 14 Okay, first we're going to deport 11 million people, so there'll be a lot of openings for nannies and their children.
Speaker 3
Sure, and their children. Right.
So, yeah. Okay, that's number one.
Speaker 67 Police force and the institution of a police state, unlike anything we've seen in this country during the year.
Speaker 32 And then China, there's going to be a trade war, so a dildo at Walmart will be $200.
Speaker 24 But a small price to pay for making America great again.
Speaker 4 Okay, may I answer these?
Speaker 14 Yes, please do.
Speaker 4
Okay, number one, there's not going to be a police force. All he needs to do is enforce the law on the books.
We're going to have a wall.
Speaker 3 So what happened?
Speaker 67 How do you enforce the law on the books without a police force to enforce the law on the books?
Speaker 4
They're not going to be able to do it for ICE. They're being stopped.
Last week, ICE released
Speaker 3 legal analysis. How many hundreds of thousands of ICE agents will you have to hire to round up 11 million people?
Speaker 4 We don't need to hire them. Tell them they can do their jobs now.
Speaker 3 That is some really important. These are laws on the book, and ICT.
Speaker 5 The only way that this happens is where every one of us at every time in every job hire, every job firing, every cross into a new thing, there's going to be a lockdown. There has to be.
Speaker 18 If our highest
Speaker 3 level of the world is
Speaker 67 why do we want to throw these 11 million people out of the country? They contribute more to our economy than they take out. They pay more in taxes than they receive in services.
Speaker 3 They're
Speaker 67 commit fewer crimes.
Speaker 67 Illegal immigrants commit fewer crimes per capita. Native born, American-born Americans, not native-born Americans,
Speaker 67 are two and a half times more likely to commit a crime, two and a half times more likely to be in prison
Speaker 3
than illegal immigrants. They're not false facts.
They're facts.
Speaker 4 If they are true facts, then you need to go and elect people who will change the laws.
Speaker 3 And your rationale for building this giant
Speaker 3 thing is that he's saying is he's going.
Speaker 4
No, the rationale is he's the commander-in-chief. He protects the borders.
Those are the laws. All he's saying is, I will be the president who will enforce the law.
Speaker 4 And I know you all want to pay your maids even less, but most Americans don't know what to do.
Speaker 3 You know what?
Speaker 67 I don't want to fucking path to citizenship. I just want to give them citizenship.
Speaker 3
Okay, all right. I have to pay.
I'm glad that they're all low-wage workers. That means our salaries go up.
Speaker 45 There's
Speaker 32 a path to shut up now.
Speaker 32 So listen, we have a tradition here when a primary ends.
Speaker 42 And obviously Kasich and Ted Cruz said uncle this week, so it is Donald Trump.
Speaker 33 You get credit for predicting that.
Speaker 43 But every time this happens here on real time, our tradition is we then say a fond goodbye to the people who made it so memorable.
Speaker 55 And
Speaker 36 so please help us right now say goodbye to the people who made this possibly the most fucked up election ever.
Speaker 3 When I was a teenager, I almost stabbed someone.
Speaker 71 A lot of people who go into prison go into prison straight, and when they come out, they're gay.
Speaker 63 Police clap.
Speaker 67 That's it.
Speaker 72 Thank you.
Speaker 3 Are you kicking me out the door?
Speaker 73 My party is going fast crazy.
Speaker 3 And you know what they say about men with small hats?
Speaker 1 I hope the president's watching tonight.
Speaker 3 Because here's what I'd like to tell him: we are going to kick your rear end out of the White House come this fall.
Speaker 41
Nobody knows me. It's Kasich.
It rhymes with Basin.
Speaker 4 And the next President of the United States, Ted Cruz.
Speaker 74 You know, the amazing thing is that basketball ring,
Speaker 74 here in Indiana, it's the same height as it is in New York City and every other place in this country.
Speaker 74 It's a tradition.
Speaker 36 All right, he is the Oscar-nominated actor who reprises his Tony-winning role as LBJ in the HBO film All the Way, premiering May 21st.
Speaker 3 Brian Cranston will go with you.
Speaker 3 Brian Cranston, everybody.
Speaker 3
Brian Cranston. Hello, I'm Jay.
How are you?
Speaker 3 Good to be here.
Speaker 3 Look, they love you. Wow.
Speaker 62 You are. I was giving out free oxycontinent.
Speaker 53 Well, they love you because you are a great thespian.
Speaker 14 I said thespian.
Speaker 53 But it's true.
Speaker 49 I mean, this movie, I was watching it.
Speaker 33 First of all, all the way, it sounds like one of those teen comedies where they lose their virginity.
Speaker 70 But it's really about LBJ.
Speaker 20 And so you did this on Broadway.
Speaker 27 I did. Okay.
Speaker 48 Your look practiced in the party.
Speaker 42 I mean,
Speaker 19 as far as historical dramas go, I mean, sometimes people get the accent, sometimes they get the look, and sometimes they get the essence of the person, and I felt you got all three.
Speaker 3 Thank you.
Speaker 50 I mean, you are LBJ.
Speaker 58 I felt like
Speaker 32 Brian Cranston disappeared like within the first 10 seconds.
Speaker 47 Well, that's LBB.
Speaker 6
That's the best thing that anyone could say. Right, yeah, you know, it surprises me.
Two and a half hours in makeup, and they start putting it on, and I can see him start to come to the surface.
Speaker 63 Right. And it really helps.
Speaker 33 So let's edutain the kids,
Speaker 32 who are not quite as old as us, about LBJ because a lot of them, you know, those are just initials in a history book.
Speaker 26 He came along, of course, he was Kennedy's vice president. Right.
Speaker 61 And then when Kennedy was shot, he took over. Wait, what?
Speaker 3 Yeah.
Speaker 21 You didn't do the background.
Speaker 13
I missed that part. I don't know.
You just read your lines and stuff.
Speaker 3 Wow.
Speaker 41 My stuff, my stuff, my stuff.
Speaker 13 Bullshit, bullshit.
Speaker 3 My line.
Speaker 21 Of course. That's how actors are.
Speaker 32 But I always thought that this movie, as I watched it, would be a great companion piece to Spielberg's Lincoln because they're both about presidents.
Speaker 54 First of all, they're both entertaining about procedural matters, which is a very hard thing to do.
Speaker 65 But they're both about presidents who saw a window, a brief window, to get legislation passed, both about our original sin of racism
Speaker 48 and took that opportunity.
Speaker 32 And that's what you played.
Speaker 6 True. And almost exactly 100 years after Lincoln, in 1964,
Speaker 6 LBJ was able to pass the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and he knew that he would have a honeymoon period after the assassination.
Speaker 6 There was a period of time that the Congress and the citizens of this country would be all in.
Speaker 48 We'll do whatever you want. We need to heal.
Speaker 42 Because of the sympathy for Kennedy.
Speaker 32 The sympathy for him.
Speaker 6 And so he knew it was, he had that window of opportunity. And within six months, he passed this legendary.
Speaker 38 But it was hardly easy.
Speaker 3 Oh, no. God, no.
Speaker 42 That's the way I remember it, because I was only a child.
Speaker 32 Oh, Kennedy died, so they did whatever he wanted.
Speaker 66 Hardly.
Speaker 3 No.
Speaker 38 And of course, I think what makes me love this movie so much is that when you think of LBJ, you think of the consummate politician, the arm twister.
Speaker 61 But what you find out here is that he really believed in it.
Speaker 47 There was a moral
Speaker 33 center to him.
Speaker 42 He really wanted to be, and of course, as a southern president, had to be a southern president who would drag his part of the country out of the past, out of their racist.
Speaker 6 For a hundred years, the Dixiecrats had
Speaker 6 a lock on the South, and in 1964, that changed it all.
Speaker 32 Right. I mean, he tells that story.
Speaker 38 I mean, you do it in the movie about, I guess, a black person who worked for him who used to drive back to his ranch
Speaker 30 and
Speaker 47
couldn't go to the bathroom. Right.
Had to pull over to the side of the road.
Speaker 6 Pee in the
Speaker 43 field. On the side of the road.
Speaker 6 She had to pee like a dog. That's just not right.
Speaker 22 See?
Speaker 10 Sounds just like it. it.
Speaker 3 You really.
Speaker 6 He would use any means necessary to get what he needed to get done.
Speaker 6 Back in his day,
Speaker 6 politics ran on the horse trade. He knew that if I needed something from you, I'm going to find out what you need and I'm going to make sure we do that.
Speaker 6
The other thing that was different back then is they often socialized. with senators and congressmen from the other side.
They knew their wives and the kids' names.
Speaker 6
So that the next day, when it came came time to really iron out a policy, I'm not going to throw this person under the bus. I like him.
He has a nice wife.
Speaker 6 And so come on, let's, damn it, let's figure this out.
Speaker 33 Right, that guy, Uncle Dick, who's
Speaker 43 Richard Russell, Richard Russell from Georgia, right, who was his mentor.
Speaker 6 But also a segregationist. Right.
Speaker 32 But they used to have dinner together every week.
Speaker 39 All the time.
Speaker 37 So that made a difference. Yeah.
Speaker 41 So I hear that you do, I mean, I've heard of a double take.
Speaker 61 And once in a while, it's rare, but you see someone do a triple take.
Speaker 19 I understand, Brian Cranzon, that you can do a quadruple take.
Speaker 21 And I said, when I heard it, I said, this is not possible.
Speaker 28 I mean, he's a great thespian.
Speaker 3 But no one could
Speaker 3 take it. No one could do it.
Speaker 5 I just did it. You missed it.
Speaker 14 No one could do a quadruple take.
Speaker 3 What?
Speaker 72 And a spit take at the same time.
Speaker 3 Okay.
Speaker 15 I did miss it.
Speaker 3 Twice.
Speaker 61 So the interesting part of this movie is that the people who
Speaker 42 were having to, in their view, give up their way of life when the 1964 Civil Rights Act was passed felt that they were being discriminated against, that they were the ones who were being made to suffer.
Speaker 42 And it reminded me so much of
Speaker 55 the gay marriage argument.
Speaker 61 So many, I think, people in this country who were against that, the Kim Davises of the world, were like, what about our rights?
Speaker 14 What about our right to take away your rights?
Speaker 3 Yeah.
Speaker 53 And you see that these
Speaker 58 things aren't new.
Speaker 6 The biggest argument that the South had, the Dixocrats, were, take time. We don't need to change things quickly.
Speaker 3 It's only been a hundred years. Oh, it's 100 years.
Speaker 6 You know, and that's,
Speaker 6 it was something that LBJ
Speaker 6
needed to risk. He knew he had to risk that.
And he did.
Speaker 48 He risked it.
Speaker 6 He lost the support of all the Dixiecrats come 1964.
Speaker 3 Right.
Speaker 19 Well,
Speaker 26 what do you think about the fact that
Speaker 26 bathrooms, because we were talking about the bathroom thing,
Speaker 42 is again an issue in this country, that transgender people somehow have got risen to the top of the political charts about where they can go to the bathroom.
Speaker 5 you know, groups are running.
Speaker 5 The American Family Association has said it's collected over a million signatures online to
Speaker 5 get back at Target for saying you can shit where you want. And it's,
Speaker 5 which is
Speaker 3 really demagogue.
Speaker 67 They couldn't demagogue anymore about gays and lesbians because too many of us are out and too many people know us. So they took the same old script.
Speaker 67 Oh, they're recruiting children, preying on children, threatening children, creeping in bathrooms. That was the script, that was what they said about gay men 40 years ago.
Speaker 67
And they're just taking that and applying it now to trans women. And it's bullshit.
And trans women and men use bathrooms all over the country and have forever.
Speaker 67 And they have actually no cases to point to where a trans person has exploited a civil rights protection to pray on a child.
Speaker 3 There are lots of cases where...
Speaker 5 Wait, is it about Mexicans?
Speaker 3 It isn't.
Speaker 3 Well, I can make it about Mexicans.
Speaker 4 I will say.
Speaker 3 Instead of building a wall, we need to build a stall that's beautiful,
Speaker 3
tremendous, huge. Maybe that's what Trump meant.
Yeah. I built stalls all along the border.
Speaker 13 And I'll make Caitlin Jenna pay for it.
Speaker 29 No.
Speaker 40 Trump said Caitlin could use the bathroom.
Speaker 16 He's good on this.
Speaker 16 Exactly.
Speaker 5 He doesn't care about drugs.
Speaker 54 That's right.
Speaker 5 I think we're growing up as a society. And there's even the nation prejudice.
Speaker 3 No, I think it's a temporary respite.
Speaker 67
I think that people hate Mexicans. The Republican base hated Mexican.
It's more racist than they are transphobic.
Speaker 3
And so Tom Trump won that, but it'll be back. But the relitigation is a very important thing.
No, no, I just can't wait.
Speaker 4 No, I can't make the alternative argument.
Speaker 3 Yes, please. We can get back to that.
Speaker 4 First of all, I completely reject the comparison of either Mexicans, since you brought them up, illegal aliens or gays to the black experience in America.
Speaker 4 And I think that's an important point that always needs to be made.
Speaker 3 And I agree that.
Speaker 4 They're brought here as slaves and discriminated against. That is a special experience, and I hate that comparison all the time.
Speaker 4 And I would say that the argument on the bathrooms, it's not that transgendered people are going to go and molest children.
Speaker 4 It's that once you say men can go into women's bathrooms, men who are out shopping with their little daughters and don't have mommy to bring her in there, it's not that the trans are going to molest them.
Speaker 4 It's that a child molester now has the right to go into that bathroom.
Speaker 67
That's bullshit. A child molester doesn't need to put on a dress to enter a bathroom.
You can Google
Speaker 67 sexually assaulted in a restroom and you get thousands of examples of cisgender straight men.
Speaker 20 You know who the child molester is?
Speaker 42 It's Dennis Hastert.
Speaker 3 Yes.
Speaker 33 who is sitting watching boys shower year after year in a lazy boy chair because he wanted to make sure nothing weird was going on and so he watched the boys shower I saw in the paper today Joe Praterna was aware of Jerry Sandusky in 1976 this is the child molesting we
Speaker 4 it's not about that that makes your argument against Republicanism doesn't make your argument for him that
Speaker 4 men will not become
Speaker 25 excited about me get back to the bigger, more important point, which is, and it's good, I think the Republican Party has gotten over their obsession with these web issues.
Speaker 45 I don't think wedge issues.
Speaker 64 I'm sorry.
Speaker 14 Because Donald Trump, they had their choice to pick Rick Santorum, Mike Huckabee, Ted Cruz, all these people who prayed their way across the country, and they opted for the New Yorker with three wives who doesn't give a shit about any of this.
Speaker 21 He doesn't care about gay marriage.
Speaker 11 He doesn't care about where people go to the bathroom.
Speaker 32 I mean, he says, nobody reads the Bible more than me.
Speaker 16 No one actually believes.
Speaker 3 Number two,
Speaker 3 Corinthians.
Speaker 3 Number two.
Speaker 15 Number two.
Speaker 13 I was going number two Corinthians at the time.
Speaker 46 So this is good news.
Speaker 3 I mean, I think it's a temporary.
Speaker 67
I don't think you can attach that to it. Yeah, let's wait three more election cycles and see what it is.
Because we're litigating access to birth control.
Speaker 67 We thought that was a settled issue, that even people who opposed abortion were for birth control.
Speaker 3 But suddenly...
Speaker 5
Bobby Jindal made Plan B, or he wants to make a contraception. He's a religious Catholic, or was a governor of Louisiana.
He wanted to make it over the counter.
Speaker 5
I worry about some of the same issues. I don't think this is temporary.
Only 26% of the population identifies this.
Speaker 31 I was going to say, maybe it's time
Speaker 64 for a viable third party that is socially conscious but yet fiscally responsible.
Speaker 69 What happened to those people?
Speaker 10 Those are called Democrats.
Speaker 3
No. No, they're not.
Right.
Speaker 3
It's the Democratic Party. That is kind of true.
It's a libertarian. Okay, so the other
Speaker 3 million.
Speaker 49 But now that we're in a place where the only thing that
Speaker 48 the only thing that perhaps stands between us and the end of civilization is Hillary Cooper,
Speaker 38 what should Hillary's strategy be against Donald Trump?
Speaker 42 Because I saw she was trying to trot out, and I think they're just testing things now, that he is a loose cannon.
Speaker 47 I don't know if that's going to work.
Speaker 3 I think that's what he says.
Speaker 19 Certainly what his fans like about him, that he is a great Dane released into a toddler's birthday party.
Speaker 48 He just fucks everything up.
Speaker 66 So how do you go at this guy who is a walking brain for it,
Speaker 35 who will say anything?
Speaker 42 Because certainly the Republicans, the other ones, never found a strategy that even touched Godzilla.
Speaker 54 What should be her strategy?
Speaker 67
But the Republican Trump. Republican, other candidates were competing for the votes of the batshit Republican base.
We're in a different place now.
Speaker 39 You're voting for Hillary, right?
Speaker 67 Of course I'm voting for Hillary.
Speaker 5
Of course. I mean, you know, this is, we don't have, you know, know, we have two bad choices as far as I'm concerned.
They're equally, and in their own way, the lesser of two evils is less evil.
Speaker 5 No, but what I'm saying is
Speaker 5 that.
Speaker 3 And I don't think she's evil, but pivoting off the argument that she's terrible. No, no, no.
Speaker 5 But I'm saying, so what is her strategy then? Because the minute she starts talking about stuff, people are going to be like, oh, I remember why I didn't vote for her in 2008. Right.
Speaker 5 I remember that she's an idiot who said that, you know, fucking, you know, that Libya, she points to the invasion of Libya in her latest book and still talks about it as a great moment of smart power.
Speaker 69 It's like, are you fucking kidding?
Speaker 3
We've destroyed the country. First of all, it wasn't her decision.
She knows what she's defended it. She's defended.
And by the way, we didn't invade Libya.
Speaker 3 It was a humanitarian management when people were wrong saw.
Speaker 3 Are you kidding me? You know what?
Speaker 21 First of all, Ronald Reagan would have done the exact same thing.
Speaker 3 So what worse he was absolutely.
Speaker 3 You're saying you are anti-war, right, in general.
Speaker 3 What were we doing in Libya? And And how can you say
Speaker 3 if you're the citizenship?
Speaker 5 How did it work out well?
Speaker 21 It didn't work out well, but you're forgetting about why it happened, because people were about to be slaughtered by Gaddafi.
Speaker 14 Yes, you conveniently forget that.
Speaker 64 Yeah, no, no, I don't know.
Speaker 3 What happened is that Obama made a speech that, again, if it was Ronald Reagan, you would have gotten a hard-on. I absolutely agree.
Speaker 35 Where he said the United States is not like any other country.
Speaker 11 We can't just ignore shit like this.
Speaker 70 The United States is different.
Speaker 3 And they all got a tear in their eyes.
Speaker 3 own.
Speaker 35 No, that's exactly what happened.
Speaker 3 Do you agree with
Speaker 4 the true Reagan policy, not like these pretenders? Cut and run. No, do you agree? Like you did in Lebanon?
Speaker 67 That was the right thing.
Speaker 3
Everything remembers. That wasn't the right thing.
We shouldn't have been there in the first place. Okay.
But he put us there.
Speaker 3 But I'm just saying.
Speaker 18 I'm still trying to find an answer to the question.
Speaker 4 There were three military interventions. There were 250 people killed.
Speaker 4
That's the big cowboy, you know, Mr. I'm going to go constantly bomb people.
There were three military interventions under Reagan in eight years yeah by today's Republican Party standards Reagan was
Speaker 67 killed in Cornada and then there were amnesty for millions
Speaker 6 want to go to war constantly and the Democrats Hillary should stay focused on on the issues and and take the high ground so it shows greater contrast to her
Speaker 6
her opponent. Don't get sucked into his energy.
If you get sucked into that vortex, she will swirl down the toilet. Right.
Speaker 39 I agree with that.
Speaker 72 Okay, stay calm and stay confident.
Speaker 4 I think her best move, I'm with the two of them, her best move is to get indicted so that no one hears her talk anymore because if she's just out of the picture.
Speaker 37 She's going to scream on.
Speaker 29 Indicted for what?
Speaker 3
I'm coming up with strategies for her. I'm not saying she shouldn't be.
You know what?
Speaker 67 Nobody hates Hillary once she's in.
Speaker 67
Everybody hated Hillary when she was running for the Senate. Once she was a senator, everybody loves Hillary.
Everybody hated Hillary when she was running for president.
Speaker 67
Once she was Secretary of State, we saw her all the time. She did a great job.
She was a very
Speaker 67 why does she have a 55 percent unfavorable maybe there is a right-wing hit machine that's been after her for 30 years and that's not an exact right
Speaker 3 that's exactly right so Hillary is there's nothing wrong with Hillary Hillary is the perfect
Speaker 5 she's not even our first choice she well this is what I'm saying though she is unliked okay and she's who the fuck are you voting for what I am going to vote for Paul Ryan when he makes his decision I'm going to vote for the Libertarian candidate who the hell is that It's probably going to be Gary Johnson.
Speaker 69 Oh, Bill Reagan.
Speaker 22 Here, it's
Speaker 5 a former two-term governor of New Mexico.
Speaker 3 You got about a million votes left.
Speaker 66 I love libertarians, but they never succeed in the libertarian market of getting votes.
Speaker 3 Yeah, sure. And there's a reason for them.
Speaker 3 There's a reason for that.
Speaker 3 All right.
Speaker 28 Everybody, shut the fuck up.
Speaker 18 It's time for New Roll.
Speaker 36 New roll, now that Hamilton, a musical where black and Hispanic men play singing, dancing, founding fathers, has garnered a record 16 Tony nominations, someone has to write a show where boring white guys play slaves who just stand there and talk and call it 12 years a primary.
Speaker 32 Neuro, the biomedical company that announced plans to bring dead people back to life through stem cell therapy, must promise to never use it on Abraham Lincoln.
Speaker 66 Because if he saw what happened to his party, he'd he'd head straight back to the theater.
Speaker 62 Neural Thai restaurants and Thai massage parlors must merge and offer a rub and grub combo stuff.
Speaker 10 Oh, they'll do it.
Speaker 49 Neural, the biotech company that wants to use drones to deliver organs to patients has to not do that.
Speaker 41 Imagine telling a patient the good news is we found a donor.
Speaker 35 The bad news is your liver is stuck in a tree.
Speaker 41 New roll, this couple caught openly having sex on a subway platform have to hurry up and finish already.
Speaker 32 It's frustrating enough wondering when the train is going to come.
Speaker 36 And finally, new rules, since 80 countries in the world have elected a woman leader, but not the United States of us yet.
Speaker 48 We must admit that when it comes to being progressive, we are often late to the party. And if you need further proof, this Sunday, which is Mother's Day, think about the fact.
Speaker 30 that when my mother was born, women in America could not vote. My My mother,
Speaker 32 not some far distant relative I discovered on Ancestry.com.
Speaker 51 My mother, who was born in 1919, the year before women got the vote.
Speaker 63 Of course, by the time she had me in 1956, things for women had really changed.
Speaker 40 How much?
Speaker 41 I'll leave that to Rex Harrison to explain.
Speaker 48 He played Professor Henry Higgins when My Fair Lady opened on Broadway in 1956.
Speaker 39 Hit it, Rex.
Speaker 75
women are irrational. That's all there is to that.
Their heads are full of cotton hay and rags.
Speaker 75 They're nothing but exasperating, irritating, vacillating, calculating, agitating, maddening, and infuriating hags.
Speaker 13 And he's the hero.
Speaker 31 But that was how women were viewed in the 1950s.
Speaker 32 Irrational, pouty, vain, thin-skinned, hysterical, and just not that bright.
Speaker 56 Does that sound like anyone we know today?
Speaker 3 Who?
Speaker 3 Who?
Speaker 3 Oh, Lord.
Speaker 3 Him.
Speaker 32 Yes, Donald Trump, who says that if Hillary Clinton was a man, she wouldn't get 5% of the vote.
Speaker 19 And if Trump was a man, he'd stop whining like a little bitch.
Speaker 50 This is a guy who actually brags about his prowess at whining.
Speaker 73 I am a whiner and I'm a whiner and I keep whining and whining until I win.
Speaker 21 Yes, it's the I Love Lucy School of Diplomacy.
Speaker 52 Does anyone fit the stereotypical 50s description of a woman better than Donald Trump? Any cringe-inducing line they ever said about a secretary on Mad Men is true about Trump.
Speaker 57 And yet, he's the one with the penis.
Speaker 24 And we know that because if you make fun of it, he'll be up all night tweeting about how great it is.
Speaker 19 He accuses Megan Kelly of being menstrual, but for him, that time of the month is always.
Speaker 23 Has there anyone, ever been anyone more thin-skinned?
Speaker 19 I made a joke about his father being an orangutan once
Speaker 20 and he marched into court with his birth certificate and sued me because he's a whany little bitch and if he's not suing you
Speaker 59 If he's not suing you he's threatening to sue you or demanding an apology or threatening to spill the beans He did that a few months ago when he was still battling Ted Cruz and someone posted a picture of his wife he didn't like so he tweeted he'd spill the beans about Ted's wife and then literally told the press he started it

Speaker 75 So.
Speaker 16 So never forget, Lady Trump, that Hillary Clinton was born a woman, but you chose to live your life as a...
Speaker 32 Say it with me, won't you?
Speaker 3 Whiny little bitch.
Speaker 36 Which is why if Hillary is the Democratic nominee, I'll be voting for the only one who has balls.
