think of uh Whoopi Goldberg saying um it's worse to be a black person in America to today than a woman in Iran. You know, I I see we were talking about the trans issue before and the New York Times really has come over on that to the sort of the sensible liberal not woke position. I think this is great first step toward getting the Democrats back to sanity and a second good step would be we got to do something about the view.
I really believe that. I mean, Bill Maher is leaving his audience absolutely stunned in this episode of Real Time with Bill Maher by going after the woke idiots that are trying to say that black people are just complete victims. Black people don't have a place in this country.
He's going after Bill Maher is going after people such as Whoopy Goldberg and others who are saying things like this. And he brings on an actual black representative here to talk to about this issue. And the way that Bill Maher talks about it does leave not only the panel but also the audience just stunned because of how much of a 180 Bill Maher has taken.
I know that he's always been one of the more edgy liberals. You know, he's always been a liberal, but he's been more edgy. You know, he'll call out the liberals unlike a lot of the other ones who are just scared to ever go against the status quo because they're scared they're going to be shunned from that community.
Bill Maher has always been someone who is more comfortable with going after his own people, but it seems like recently he has been getting ultra comfortable. In fact, it seems like he's going after the liberals more than he's going after the conservatives nowadays. And it's interesting to see how Bill Mah Bill Maher's audience reacts and also how his panel reacts here.
Let's get into this clip here where Bill Maher goes after these people who are trying to say that black people are just perpetual victims and there's nothing that they can do about it. live on Real Time with Bill Bar. That's what I mean.
He's not a humorist. It's a comic. This is the difference between a humorist and lol.
Okay. Uh for Wesley, what was behind the rightward shift of black men toward Trump in the last election? I think I touched on that a little bit.
I think um whenever you have a candidate like Kla Harris that clearly was not the choice of the Democrat party when she got shoehorned into that space and then you tried to roll out Megan Three Stallion and Lila John the East Side boys and everybody was trying to say hey black hey black men let's vote for this now it just it just really didn't work well most of them still did well one in three black men one in three black men in the state of Texas voted for President Trump okay well it's youth men and in a state well I'm being very I'm being very specific here because it does matter we are seeing a seismic shift and that's the vote in the Republican party in the history. No doubt about it. Trump did better with minorities across the board each time he ran, including the time he lost.
She fought. Um, you can talk about that. Oh, come on.
Um, but you know, he he does want to like take Trump is putting the Roberty Lee name back on buildings. I mean, are you down with that? So, when I was at West Point, uh, I actually lived in Robert E.
Lee barracks when I was there. Well, real quick, on the topic of Donald Trump doing better with minorities every time he runs. I think a lot of that has to do with number one, Donald Trump just getting smarter than his campaign advisers getting smarter and how he handles the campaigns and trying to attract those people and capture their votes.
But also, it has a lot to do with these people being more educated on the topics that that they need to be educated on in order to vote properly, in order to vote for who's going to benefit them the most. And they've been told for so long that Hillary Clinton is for minorities and Donald Trump is racist, Joe Biden is for minorities and Donald Trump is racist. And then you actually just do research and you find out that Hillary Clinton might be a little bit more racist than Donald Trump.
And then you look into Joe Biden's history and realize he he gave a eulogy at the KKK leader funeral and and he has deep ties to extremely racist things. And in fact, he probably hates black people if we're being real. And once you once you realize that, I mean, you you kind of have to vote for Donald Trump at that point.
And then also, if you have any sort of investment in the stock market, if you have any sort of interest and not just collecting food stamps for the rest of your life and actually making something of yourself, it's probably better to live in Donald Trump's America than Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton, Kla Harris's America. And I I think a lot of people just saw that and a lot of people do want to make something of themselves. A lot of black men don't want to just live off food stamps for the rest of their life, as they they shouldn't.
And they they realize that and they realize that Donald Trump is a smarter vote. Now, is he running an absolutely perfect, you know, presidential term? Absolutely not.
You know, it's it's not going perfectly by any means. But is it better than what Kla Harris would have given us? 110%.
I I would put my money on that there. And as I said, Lee went to Yes. Yes, he did.
That's why the barracks are named after him. Uh and so my brother, sister, and I are metriculated through West Point. We all graduated.
And I'll never forget walking under the threshold of Roberty Lee Barrett and think to myself, damn, this is one hell of a country because only in America can someone like me walk into a building named after a Confederate general and then be a successful West Point graduate. If we start changing the names on buildings, then every single building would be named Jesus Christ based on perfection. Let's talk about where we have come.
Well, maybe not to you, but to us. Maybe not to you, but to us. a lot of depending on where you're at.
I bring that up because I want to talk about the progress and the idea of us changing names on buildings actually doesn't take hearken us back to times where they weren't as good and how can we not um I am my wife is I've been black my whole life. Um yes, so far still um um my wife is is is white and we have three biracial children and I cannot wait to show them and take them to places that that wasn't always the case. There was a time when your mother and daddy could not be married.
My children are going to have the opportunity to be second lining down in New Orleans and then my wife is from Iowa. They'll be on a farm with their grandfather in Iowa. That is America.
And I do not want to take down these statues and change the names of these buildings cuz they're a reminder of what was. And if we don't remember it, we are doomed to repeat it. So there's a reason for it.
I see. What do What do you think? Also, it just sets a terrible precedent, right?
If you look into any sort of human history, basically we've been lied to throughout our our entire schooling. And I think it stems from just experts not wanting to be wrong and then the government not wanting to be wrong either. They want to seem like they know everything.
It gives them more authority so that we're more likely to listen to them, whatever. But we're basically lied to about so much of human history. Even how old humans are, we're lied to about it.
anytime any sort of evidence is is provided by anyone in the scientific field, no matter how reputable their name is, they're threatened with your career is going to be over if you come out with this. We're going to make you seem like a clown and a lunatic instead of actually looking at the evidence and the facts that they bring them. And it's a bad precedent to set to start clamoring for our history to be wiped out because then that lets the government and and the quote unquote experts rewrite the new history.
And they're already doing that, right? But if we encourage it, they're going to do it even more. We're going to get more of our history lost.
Like imagine if they do erase all of these names. Then in 200, 300 years, if we last that long, nobody's going to even know what happened, you know? And and maybe that's what happened with a lot of the ancient civilizations that the government and the Smithsonian and all these people hide from us and they won't tell us about and you know all these artifacts that are found and then collected by the Smithsonian to never be seen again.
The Smithsonian is a government institution, right? It's a it's a government it's a branch or it's an arm of the government, a division and they collect artifacts and they're never seen again. because they want to control the narrative of human history.
They're lying to us. And if we, like I said, if we set the precedent that us as humans, us as citizens would like our our history to be erased, they're like, "Oh, hell yeah. Let's erase all of that so we can control all of the history and we can control the the future as well.
" Of Whoopi Goldberg saying, um, it's worse to be a black person in America to today than a woman in Iran. You know, I I say we were talking about the trans issue before and the New York Times really has come over on that to the sort of the sensible liberal not crazy woke position. I think this is great first step toward getting the Democrats back to sanity and a second good step would be we got to do something about the view.
I really believe that. I mean, could you just It's huge in Iran, though. Well, you know, I when I went the view in Iran head cover, you can't even tell which one is which.
My district, my district, my district in the great state of Texas is actually a white majority district that President Trump would have won by 25 points. As I said, I'm a direct descendant of a slave. My great great-grandfather was born on Roseown Plantation.
I am literally being judged not by the color of my skin, but by the content of my character. That's the progress. Because like a lot of white people had to vote for me.
A lot. So wait, so I don't even ever want to hear Whoopy Goldberg's conversation about how it's worse to be black in America right now. That's that's a bit far.
And my father, who's 75 years old, he was a man that was in the French Quarters that had to go um get a sandwich to the back door of the building. and his son is now a United States congressman in a white majority district in Texas as a Republican. That is America.
That's America. So, let's celebrate that. Yes.
And one of the ways we celebrate it is Junth. That's a Texas holiday. It began in Texas in Galveston.
Yeah. I I you got to agree with Bill Maher there that you know like like Bill Maher says this there's been some progress made on the left. The next step is the view has to go.
like that that I can't believe people still watch that show. Who is their audience? Like who is watching the view?
I can't I just can't believe it. Genuinely cannot believe that that show still has an audience enough to be on the air. It drives me crazy.
I'm not some like, you know, all hail Donald Trump, all hail America, America can do no wrong type of person. But I'm not so spoiled rotten enough to to believe that we're not extremely lucky to live in this country. There's a reason why people literally die trying to get here through the southern border.
You know, they're swimming over bodies of water and they lose their children and and you know, I I've had friends that worked in Homeland Security and Border Patrol and they say that they would find like box trucks and they would open up the back of the box truck and there'd just be families in there just dead. And they're doing that to try and get smuggled into America knowing what the consequences could be. There's a reason why they risk their lives in order to get here.
it. They know there's probably like a 50% chance that you're going to end up dead and they take that chance. There is not a country in the world right now that I would risk a 50% chance of dying to get to.
You know, like that like as bad as the United States could be, as much as I criticize them for being sold out to that certain country in the Middle East, there's not a single country that I would risk a 50 50% chance of me dying in order to get to that country because it's this is the greatest country to live in. It just is. And people like Whoopy Goldberg are just so privileged and they're so spoiled that they just have no idea how good they have it.
