Aldi. Gutes, für alle. Welcome to an HBO podcast. From the HBO Late Night series, real-time with Bill Moore. OK, he's my friend, he's an Emmy Award-winning comedian right now, Larry Wilmore.
And he's a Democratic senator from George and Arthur Aldi. The frickin' place is makes great. Some of the Raphael-Warnock. Yes. Yes.
OK. These are questions on the people. What does the panel think of JD Vance? Oh, yes, he made news today, I forgot to ask him. Saying, "Watergate wouldn't take down a president today."
He said, "Watergate would be a 12-hour story." Well, my opinion on that, that's not because watergate wasn't that bad. It's because our standards are so low right now. That's what it is. Because if you look at his boy Trump commits,
like, "5 Watergate's before breakfast." Yeah, right. [LAUGHTER] That was so impressive, guys.
“I think something's like, "Yeah, watergate."”
Yeah, yeah. All he did was have stood just as much as he did. Well, he was talking about that, too. But it's amazing revisionism. Like, if you hang around long enough,
there are people now who are like, "Who is the bad guy in World War II?" I don't know. Maybe it was Churchill. You know, I don't know.
We sure up with Hitler, we see the bad guy. And now it's like, he was, you know, not the Nixon is on the level of Hitler, of course not. Not saying that. But it's like, "Everything has to be revised."
He's saying now, "No, I like Nixon."
And I mean, I never thought I'd hear a politician,
even with a public and go back in life. I don't think I would make it. No self-awareness, that, you know, as a result of the Trump vance administration, what we see every single day,
he's like, "It'll be a 12-hour news story." As if that's a good thing, you know.
“I think, though, I haven't any people remember water yet.”
I really think, um, I think it's a little deeper than that. I just think about this, because I read that story. This is like a Soviet-style revisionism, you know. Soviet Union had, you know, their big news out that was probbed a problemings truth.
Yeah. He was anything but the truth, right? You know, kind of like truth social. It's not social, it was like out of the book 1984. Correct, right. So the whole point of Soviet-style truth in this, if you want,
is to revise the truth, is to make up the own version of the truth. So a lot of this re-telling of even American history-- That's a long term. I think it's a long term. Retelling of American history, the getting rid of a lot of history,
and all this, that to me is probbed it. There's Soviet-style revisionism going on in this country. OK. That's right. What's the panel's reaction to the closing
of alligator alcatraz in Florida? It's the Trump administration backing down from their aggressive approach to immigration.
Boy, it's the first thing I tried to get to JD.
I tell you, he's going to get a big clap on the back from the Bostonite. He didn't go with me on anything. I'm sure he doesn't want to be in the doghouse. Well, the bar is pretty low.
You close alligator alcatraz, you know? [LAUGHTER] But they do-- I mean, they do have a way of pulling back. You know? Well, we've seen it.
But when we push back, pull back, they were going to build a 10,000-bed detention center in Social Circle, Georgia. And this is a 5,000 citizen town. It's a-- they mostly vote for down on Trump. But they didn't think that the federal government would
step in and triple the size of their town. And those folks began to stand up. I went in and others elevated their concerns, and they backed off, so they're not going to build a detention center in Oakwood and in Social Circle, Georgia.
We saw the same thing last week when they were getting ready to jerry-mandered the maps in Georgia. Hundreds of people showed up at the state Capitol, and the legislators got nervous and say, well, you know, so at least they tabled it.
We saw it in Minnesota. I think standing up makes a difference. [APPLAUSE] What does the panel think of the Texas State Board of Education
Voting to require millions of students to study Bible stories?
Well, they can't read anymore, so I don't care.
I used to bother me, but I, you know, it's like-- I'm going to read. Do you think you're a chance to read? It's like the pool or the ball row. I can't.
I just can't. And I just can't everything. Like, is it really going to-- I mean, it's wrong. It should be-- to me, it's wrong, because it's
favoring one religion. But you know, I want to see-- How about get us host some health care? [APPLAUSE] Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[APPLAUSE] So it's all clear and livable waves. Now, for me, you know, religion can just show up as performance, rather than substance. And I will say this, I'm a Christian pastor.
I don't want to live in anybody's theocracy. A Christian, Jewish, Muslim, right? Now, the covenant we have with one another
“is that we are a diverse Democratic Republic, right?”
A place where people of various faith traditions, people who claim no faith traditions. People of moral courage can come together. And we have this pact with each other. E-probes all of out of many one.
And so, you know, I get worried when folks perform the religion. Our mixing of religion and culture.
She's like, Jesus never ran from mayor, you know?
[APPLAUSE] Oh, my God, they're not coming at us anymore. And I'm sorry, I didn't mean that. No, no, I'm just kidding. [LAUGHTER]
No, I'm not going to search it. I'm going to send it, but I don't bring my creeds. Yes. I don't bring my creeds to my work. I bring my values, which I think of resident in all the faith traditions.
Look, here's the sad part. The part of this, and I apologize for this, because it's kind of my observation of religion in our culture right now. It's kind of an admission that religion in many ways has diminished in the popular culture as a given.
And so, a lot of the movement on the right started with the more majority was, well, how do we pull religion back in to our political system? It has to get back in the schools. What have happened to Sunday school?
When I was a kid, there was a thing called Sunday school. There's a thing, people accepted that you've got your religious teaching in a religious place. No, no, the question becomes who's religion and you've got a teach. Well, that's a separate issue, right?
But so, the movement is the feeling that it's leaving the culture how do we hold on to it? Well, I talk to young people all the time. And I think that they are deeply interested in things spiritual, but they are deeply suspicious of institutions.
And the way there's a disconnect between what people say and what they do between their creeds and their deeds. When they see the speaker of the house, gather with other legislators, say a long prayer, join hands, and then go and cut a trillion dollars out of Medicaid,
they're trying to understand what's the relationship between that. What they don't have tolerance for is hypocrisy. (audience applauding) So, you can legally be a senator, but also be a pastor. Is that true of every level of government?
Could you be the president and also a pastor? I don't know, that is practical. (laughing) To be the president and be a pastor, but yeah, of course. You could serve.
I serve in a Senate, I'm pastor. I don't have any of these in a church, I return to my pulpit.
“You have to give me a lot of interest on this school,”
didn't you? Yeah, certainly after he left, I don't know if he'd run. He could be president and be a felon, that's okay. (audience laughing) Hey, guys.
(audience applauding) (audience applauding) That's awesome, I got you, man. Okay, let's do it, let's do it. (audience applauding)
Gotta say, I love her, audience. They love that joke, and they also gave the vice president a standing ovation when they came. Senator Ward turned to me, Bill. And he said, did he bring in all his people
when they did that, but right after they applauded your thing, like, probably even bigger, you know, and so. There you go. Okay, one more question. Like, before you get the last question,
can I say congratulations to Bill Mauer for receiving the Mark Twain Award. (audience applauding) (audience applauding) Okay, and you're above the crooked places made straight.
Euro-generated sex is exactly who we are,
and who we have always been, who we have always been.
What did you mean by that? I mean, in the wake of January 6th, there were those who were well-meaning, and they said, that's not who we are.
“And I think that that makes us feel good to say that,”
but it's dishonest. There's a way in which that is who we are. Not all of this. But the good news is that it's part of it. That's part of who we are.
Part of who we are. So, we're January 5th. January 5th is when Georgia stayed in the old confederacy, since it's first African-American Center, and it's first Jewish Senator, to the Senate in one favor.
(audience applauding)
We have all families, all families have a complicated story.
And I think we have to be honest about the ugly side
“of our story in order to get to a better place.”
Yeah, January 6th is also Mike Pence, who was here recently, who, also very- Well, in the insurrectionists present, it got reelected. So, we're so good. But he wouldn't go along with it.
Great, Ash. A guy who I never had.
“Never had one good thing to say about it.”
He didn't go along with it.
But at the end of the day, he did the right thing. I mean, that's America too. Yes, but you talked about Nixon even resigned. You know, as he did, he did, he did, well, it was good for the country at that time.
Well, that's not why he did it. No, but, well, but it turned out that way. Yes, but he did it because he lost the support of even
the Republican Party, which never happened today.
That's the difference between 1874 and today. He lost the Republican Party. That does not happen. And he was willing to resign instead, even though with that going on, who wouldn't resign?
“You know, who does get that kind of clap on the back of it?”
It was Al Gore, because the 2000 election was, you know, he could have just kept going with the country. And at the end of the day, he was like, "No, what, you take one for the team."
Nixon did that in 1960, he did it. 1960, he probably won that election. And Kennedy's mafia friends probably stole it. Yeah, there it is. And he still was like, back then, people were different.
They were like, the good of the country. Well, happy 4th of July. [LAUGHTER] Hatch-only episodes of Real Time with Bill Mar every Friday, night at 10, or watch a many time on HBO on demand.
