Bill Maher Correctly Analyzes Democrat Confusion

BUCK: We had mentioned Bill Maher a couple times before. And really, clearly, he needs to have us both on. I’ve been on before, but you need to go on for your first time. We both would be fantastic guests for the Bill Maher show. It’d be my third. I enjoy it because I never get to fight with libs on air anywhere. They won’t have me anywhere.

CLAY: He really allows it, right?

BUCK: It’s really one of the only places where you actually have any exchange about any of this stuff. And, anyway, here is Bill Maher, though, on how the China… We just played that guy. What’s his name, the sports guy?

CLAY: J. A. Adande.

BUCK: Thank you.

CLAY: From ESPN.

BUCK: Mr. Adande from ESPN. Here’s Bill Maher saying, “Yeah, China is a confusing situation for the woke left because…” Remember when if you called it the Wuhan coronavirus, it was racist? If you criticize China at all in any respect, it’s racist. Here’s Maher.

BUCK: And they’re all Democrats, by the way, and leftists. You know, Bill has to always play this… He speaks the truth, but then he takes some shots at Trump people or whatever. These are Democrats who have that feeling and have that confusion. But his analysis of their confusion, Clay, is correct. That is why they don’t know.

CLAY: A hundred percent correct, Buck Sexton. Remember it’s all been whitewashed now, but when Trump announced the travel ban with China, what was the very first assault that he got? It was racist. The travel ban — which, by the way, has been completely endorsed by Joe Biden. But initially when Trump came out and said we’re not going to allow travel with China, the assault was racist. And remember — now Nancy Pelosi pretends she didn’t do it. Remember when she went to Chinatown, Buck, early in the talk about —

BUCK: Yes.

CLAY: — covid and like was like, “Oh, you need to hug Chinese people. There’s no risk at all,” and so she had the media follow her into Chinatown so that she could send a message about how racist Trump was. And, by the way, remember that short-lived storyline where everybody was racist against Asian people? Remember when early in 2021 they tried to pivot the Black Lives Matter and expand it into, “Oh, this is Asian hate!”

And then they realized that most of the Asian hate crimes were being committed by black men? And suddenly it was like, “Oh, well, Asian…” That story basically disappeared, right? I may have had it was all the attention in the wake of the shooting in Georgia. It was gonna be, “White supremecy is not just targeting black people. It’s also targeting Asian people!”

And then they started putting up the pictures and saying like, “Hey, can you help with the suspect here?” and they were overwhelmingly black people who were attacking Asian people, and that story just disappeared off the front pages. It went away that Asian hate storyline didn’t have the right perpetrator; and so it vanished. I do think this factors in.

If, for instance, Germany — which is what happened in 1936, Buck. If we were seeing this happen all over again with the Olympics, Germany is an easy attack, right, 1936, white people, they’re responsible, they’re the master race. Unless you’re Whoopi Goldberg; You don’t realize the racial component. But that paints them into a corner because it was racist to say the China virus, it was racist to talk about the fact that this came out of a Chinese lab and they don’t know how to responds to this genocide.
