Overtime: Malcolm Nance, Kristen Soltis Anderson | Real Time with Bill Maher (HBO)

okay we're here on overtime with Paul bagalla Democratic strategist Kristen sulcus Anderson was on our show tonight and counter-terrorism Doctor Malcolm Nance was at the front of the show now we're on CNN I can't believe they're still doing this for this but I'm glad we're here on CNN and as I said last week if you don't watch this what happens is people write things you know I don't even know what these questions are but I'm going to ask them this is for you Malcolm how much longer will the American public tolerate our involvement in Ukraine well I think they're more than tolerating and I think they're pretty much Foursquare behind it most people aren't they yeah we're absolutely behind yeah and uh we're going to tolerate it as long as we can uh feel that we're upholding the Democratic Values we established in the world for the rest of the world I mean we'll give up I mean did we give up in the Civil War do we give up in World War One World War II who put up with it I mean it's not like going to Burger King we gave up in Vietnam no we didn't give up but we you know I'm slacked off as far as our war we're a country of good tolerance right all right uh for the panel does the fact that Sarah Huckabee Sanders is a is the fact that this is written badly that Sarah Huckabee Sanders is a nepo baby to detract from her political accomplishments I guess they were hearing me talk about the Huckabee Dynasty but yes that's a big uh saying these days nepo baby you know what that is it's like they mostly refer to people in show businesses no but anybody who's mother or father was a star and then you're a star that makes you a nepo baby I could name many of them they're very upset about being called that my I've noticed this phenomenon forever as many people have out here and I was it's fine if you're if your parents were in Show Business just don't say as I've heard some of them say well it wasn't any easier for me yes it was it was easier for you or the other thing they say a lot is uh well it just got me in the door well that's a lot of it in Show Business is getting in the door anybody can act it's not that hard oh sorry I forgotten when you're in politics sorry CNN I know I forgot we're not supposed to not on HBO now when you're in politics one of the things that you want generally is higher Name ID when a poster like me goes out and we do a survey we want to know how many people know what your name is at all and if you have right or increasingly a mom that has been in politics before it does make it easier for voters to just go I liked her dad George Bush you know the second that guy when he ran he he went to the top of the polls and I remember this story I think in 1999 the people thought it was his father that's what they were responding to he had the same name and they thought oh George Bush is running again right he was a one-termer he could do it and and Franklin Roosevelt's cousin Teddy was president before him John Quincy Adam's dad was praying before I mean there is a tradition of that in America but you still have to I I don't support Governor Sanders I don't know her I probably wouldn't even like her but she earned that job fair and square she won the by the way she didn't we didn't cheat nobody cheated it wasn't rigged she won the election fair and square and she's entitled I think to the respect that a governor of a state I noticed that she she made a big point of age she said yeah Biden is 80 and I'm 40. by the way I thought she was 60. but okay I I was shot no I'm not 60 but I was I was shocked that she was only 40. I mean Washington has a way of taking a toll on you let's just leave it at that but I mean that was kind of a strange thing to brag about I thought I don't think it's a strange thing to brag about especially if your core argument going into 2024 is that Joe Biden has passed his Prime and we need to do something new now this it depends upon does the Republican party not nominate someone who is also approaching 80. and so that's why some people that's what you're talking about something that I thought was very interesting about her response is she talked a lot about a new generation of Republican leadership and when she talked about her time working for the former president she did not use the word Trump once yes and I understand he was pissed yeah okay uh Public Schools saw 1.2 million students depart during the pandemic and many have turned to homeschooling are we in the midst of a public education crisis yeah I saw that today in the paper also a lot of the students who went away during the pandemic never came back what do you make of that I school is good Community Education Community Education is good because you have to develop social skills the hardest part about school is like recess and gym and all the times you have to interact with all those other little ten-year-olds so I think it's really important for kids to be back in school I do too but I mean well it can create a physical problem for a school too so most schools the way they get their funding is how many kids are enrolled if all of a sudden your enrollment Falls by five or ten percent your funding Falls by five or ten percent so the fact that public schools for so many parents they said I don't know if I trust this institution to educate my child anymore it's also going to potentially make the schools worse or have to do more with less when that student funding is now gone and and also I mean you say you think kids should be in school it's the Democratic party your party that is blamed for that not happening during the pandemic right and it happened Republican states and Democratic states and they all those things were doing the best they could with the science that was available but there were some Ezekiel Emanuel is a Doctor Who's advising Biden was saying at the time this is going to hurt kids we should be really careful about closing schools uh and I remember Zeke saying that so it's but I don't want to bang on people who were trying to save lives when we lost a million people at stinking virus we're still losing 5 600 a day but it was it was clear much earlier on than many Democratic leaders in particular Republicans didn't put them back in school either they did they did a lot faster and that's yeah I mean I think the Republicans would say that it was the teachers union which is very strong and democratically controlled that made sure that the schools did not reopen and also that you're not it's not the kids who were dying from it right and that's the big shame is that the kids who were getting hurt the most by it were the ones whose parents don't have the resources to say well the public school's bad let me take them out put him in a private schooler sure I can homeschool them I have the bandwidth to do that it was poor kids kids of color they're the ones who have seen the biggest learning loss as a result uh Malcolm if the cops who killed Tyree Nichols had been white would be see would we be seeing a different response you know I'm afraid to say that we would have I mean I think that we would have had a slow walk of the indictments uh but you know the issue here isn't about the color of the policeman the issue is that the tactics techniques procedures and training of these law enforcement officers on these special teams uh you know way back when I went through a SWAT officers course with Capitol Hill Police and some other police forces that were there to learn how to be SWAT cops the techniques that we were shown back then were not always guns forward guns all the time now the average police officers is trained to believe that he's you know number one job is to come home at night I agree with that a thousand percent but there are jobs there there are things there that are just clearly require an intervention that does not require you to draw your weapon yeah I mean this this doesn't I mean that certainly everything you said is valid all that is an issue this seemed to be just five cops who wanted to wail on a guy for no apparent reason it if if that kid had been white would they have not done that no they wouldn't have period we all know that so five I mean there is a color there there is a color issue within law enforcement altogether even among black Congress yeah because they're cops because they're cops this is a mindset the same way we have in the military we have a mindset right uh I think policing now has moved so far away from community service towards self-preservation uh you know they they go to courses like the on killing program on how to do self-preservation how to battle like a you know a special forces Soldier what they need to do is they need to start thinking more along the old Beat cop you know protecting the community by knowing the community and not seeing I don't understand it right I'm a big guns guy not every black man is the one who has the firearm right they assume this block is all armed maybe that's because some of them are but I'm going to tell you there is a large proportion of the the white population in the United States who routinely carry guns openly Brazil you have stickers on their cars and cops just see oh these are the kind of guys that I go to range with good job oh can I just Kyle Rittenhouse for example right right they gave through him water that night if I had been out on the street with a long rifle like that they would have been throwing uh lead down there Freedom bullets at me right okay um for Paul said should Biden should Biden do the annual pre-super Bowl interview on Fox oh yes he that's a tradition and Biden is turned it down or or as has been done by other presidents yeah why did he why do you think he declined that it raises the all-important question who cares I'm sorry he has no obligation to get foxes I just don't care I guess I'm always on inclined to communicate more not less I guess if I advise him I'd tell him to do it but the fox is not entitled to the time of the president United States of America I'm sorry they're just another Corporation trying to make a buck uh Kristen what do you make of Ron DeSantis installing a conservative anti-woke board at the new College of Florida so he has made a big name for himself as being someone who is pushing back against what he views as an education system both K-12 and high red that's gone too far off I don't know that the answer to Liberal overreach in higher ed is conservative overreach in higher ed so I'm much more interested in when I'm thinking about higher education in Florida my home state is I look at the University of Florida where Ben sass was just installed as president there were some protesters but not as many on the day of his actual installment and he has really said I'm not coming at this with an ideological lens he is certainly conservative himself but can he take an institution and actually do interesting things with it that are not about owning the libs or about proving this is what a conservative school is like this is something that frustrates me about the right is every time they see something on the left that they think they've gone too far we need to create a conservative version of it let's have conservative Wikipedia that's a conservative Twitter it's just it's always it's just silly why not just try to thrive in these institutions and do what you can to make them work for everyone from within perfect sense I love it thank you very much thank you folks thank you CNN sorry about it I went one more one week when I say the bad word [Applause]
