[00:01:35]  Bill Maher is irrelevant.
[00:01:37]  Bill Maher is inapposite.
[00:01:39]  Bill Maher is a guy who was at the end of the entertainment and opinion trajectory who comes across as a royal smartass who has not thought of anything On his own, in his life, he has writers and prompter writers, and he's under this delusion, self-imposed or otherwise, that he's funny.

=== A Black Person's Perspective (06:28) ===

[00:02:01]  That notwithstanding, it's a free country, you can say whatever you want.
[00:02:05]  Charlemagne the God is Imane, huge, enormous, brabdingnagian.
[00:02:18]  The future, the current, And the currency of political opinion on a level and a platform heretofore unknown and certainly never able to be appreciated by Bill Maher.
[00:02:32]  When asked whether a black person has to be ten times better or five times better, Bill Maher said, oh my god, that's so old-fashioned.
[00:02:45]  Listen, Billy, what do you know about that?
[00:02:50]  Is it possible that a black person in this country has to be ten times better or five times better?
[00:02:55]  We can argue about the math, but I understand exactly why somebody would say that.
[00:02:59]  I understand exactly why somebody would say that.
[00:03:02]  I understand why a black person would say that, or a woman, or a black woman.
[00:03:07]  Absolutely.
[00:03:08]  And moreover, if somebody were to say it, how am I and who am I as a...
[00:03:14]  White man, or actually more beige, to tell a black person, no, you don't know what you're talking about.
[00:03:20]  Because I, from my lofty perch, see things in a way and in a view that comports with my worldview.
[00:03:34]  Who am I to say this?
[00:03:36]  Who am I to tell a black person, or anybody, black, Trans, gay, white if I'm black.
[00:03:46]  How do I tell somebody in another position, from another point of view, how do I tell them?
[00:03:54]  Or how do I even suggest for a moment that they're wrong?
[00:03:57]  See, this is this arrogance.
[00:03:59]  And then, by turning and citing two or three or some other black intellectual or economist who disagrees with this, Provide something disputatious.
[00:04:13]  Somehow that's going to what?
[00:04:15]  Negate what Biden or his script or speech writer said?
[00:04:21]  Or what Charlemagne said?
[00:04:24]  Do you not?
[00:04:26]  I know nobody wants to say this.
[00:04:28]  But do you think that, and I'm not sure if it's racism, but do you think for a moment that we react differently?
[00:04:37]  Let me ask you a question.
[00:04:40]  If I ask people around the country the following, let's assume I could conduct an experiment where, almost like candid camera, we have a two-way mirror,
[00:04:56]  and I am able to somehow measure, I don't know how, through functional imagery or whatever, a person's Satisfaction or racial dissimilarity index.
[00:05:12]  Meaning, they go to a clinic in this hypothetical and they wait for their doctor to come in.
[00:05:20]  They don't know who the doctor is, but they wait.
[00:05:24]  The door opens up and doctor number one is a white man in his 60s with white hair.
[00:05:31]  He's the doctor.
[00:05:32]  And somehow you can...
[00:05:34]  Measure satisfaction or faith registering.
[00:05:38]  Oh, okay.
[00:05:40]  Second case, same age, male, but a black man.
[00:05:46]  Third case, white woman, black woman, Asian man, Asian woman, Asian older man.
[00:05:56]  Every permutation of black, white, Asian, male, female.
[00:06:00]  Do you think...
[00:06:02]  That people would respond differently to just a doctor walking in in terms of, okay, I believe that.
[00:06:08]  Indian versus Chinese.
[00:06:10]  Italian versus Spanish.
[00:06:12]  A British accent versus a Spanish accent.
[00:06:15]  A New York accent.
[00:06:18]  If you think that we react the same to everybody, you're out of your mind.
[00:06:23]  If you think that we somehow react to people based upon some Unilateral, some consistent form of reaction.
[00:06:34]  You're out of your mind.
[00:06:40]  Charlemagne the God is right.
[00:06:43]  And Bill Maher may not like that.
[00:06:45]  And I'm not suggesting it's because of racism.
[00:06:48]  It might be class.
[00:06:49]  It might be culture.
[00:06:50]  It might be experience.
[00:06:51]  It might be a variety of things.
[00:06:54]  But if you think that a black man Is on the same playing field in terms of level as a white man?
[00:07:10]  Depending upon...
[00:07:11]  I don't want to get into the NBA.
[00:07:14]  I don't want to go through those.
[00:07:16]  I'm just talking about jobs and performance.
[00:07:20]  If you think a woman is on the same playing field, you're out of your mind.
[00:07:28]  And just do me a favor, and I think I speak on behalf of a lot of people.
[00:07:31]  Bill Maher, shut up!
[00:07:34]  It's a free country.
[00:07:36]  You're allowed to say what you want.
[00:07:38]  I can't tell you not to.
[00:07:41]  But you're an idiot.
[00:07:43]  And you're so hackneyed.
[00:07:46]  You're so osseous, concretized, ancient, predictable, so irrelevant.
[00:07:55]  Do you understand what I'm saying?
[00:07:59]  Absolutely irrelevant.
[00:08:01]  Inaposite.
[00:08:02]  Charlemagne, you're right.
[00:08:04]  And by the way, if I would make one more suggestion, there was some intimation from what I understand you're not sure, you're indicating you wouldn't be voting for Trump.
[00:08:14]  I think if you knew what was good for you and the country and the future, you would vote for Trump.
[00:08:20]  I know that would be hard for you to understand now, but I know if you're as smart as they say you are, you know that what I'm saying is right.
[00:08:28]  What do you think?
