Real Time With Bill Maher Tonight!

Bill Maher and his guests tonight are Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Eddie Huang, Liz Mair, Ana Marie Cox and Christopher Caldwell!

In the monologue tonight, Bill jokes about this weeks issues such as Lorretta Lynch's nomination that finally happened and that her first priority of course, is to free Ben Affleck's ancestors slaves. Not only was that a non issue of a story this week, I was surprised to hear Ben Affleck going to the efforts he did to erase that from his family history. Though I guess it would be a bit weird having that listed but still, who the hell dives that far into things that deep and into people that much unless you are a politicean? And, where does one see this information about people? Is it public domain? And even then when some is in politics, it is not like anyone pays attention to it. Bush's ancestors played an integral role in helping fund the Nazi's during WWII. I wrote about it my second book ('Diary of a Ram Fan'). But, Bush Sr. is the son of Prescott Bush and Bush Jr. is his grand kid. Prescott worked with Fritz Theyssen, one of Hitler backers at the firm called Brown Brothers Harriman Investment Firm, through the Holding Company called Union Banking Corporation. All of these accounts were directly managed by Prescott Bush. And much like that era in U.S. History, when Prescott Bush helped the Nazi's bankroll their government, the question would be whether Bush Sr., could affiliate himself with Gorbachev. Also, much like the 40s in the cold war era with the Soviets, Bush Sr. appoints Dick Cheney to be the Defense Secretary, while appointing the William Casey crony, Robert Gates, to be the Security Advisory for him and for the United States people. It  become evident that profits for some American based companies and the people that helped facilitate it, soared because of this war. There are so many conflicts that it is not even normal to repeat out loud, but to start, there is Fritz Thyssen. (Fritz) Thyssen is one of Hitler's money backers with his wealth protected by using the firm called Brown Brothers Harriman Investment Firm, through a Holding Company called Union Banking Corporation. These accounts are managed during this era by Prescott Bush. In 1942, the US government seized Union Bank, including four (4) of (Fritz) Thyssen's accounts that again, are being managed by Prescott Bush. After the war ended, that money was paid back to its shareholders, including Prescott Bush. 


Anyway, Carly Fiorina also threw her hat into the ring to run for POTUS in 2016 and she is running as the junior senator from California even though she was never elected as it. But she also runs on the platform that she 'turned around HP (Hewlett-Packard)' and as Bill just joked about that it was just not exactly in the perfect direction but still. 


And with other women like Bruce Jenner that gave its interview tonight (it may even be happening right now), I have no joke besides the obvious one but regardless of it falling flat like Obama's joke whenthe patriots visited the White House this week, I shan't watch it. Bill jokes about that his Tivo and my DVR cutting things off and did Bruce cut his thingy off or is he / she just A-Sexual? 


Evidently and speaking of a Kardashian, there were protesters outside of HBO because of the 100 year genocide even though we are NOT allowed to use the word 'genocide', that  is this week. I guess we can't use the word genocide because of our relationship with the Turkish country which I now must assume is the country that killed the Armenians back then 100 years ago from this week. The Pope says its a genocide so i am not sure why that political correctness and honestly, I don't really know that much about that issue.


Speaking of women in the news, there are more Hillary scandals to speak about this week. We talked / wrote about the book a lot this week. Bill does a funny joke about the book being on her computer waiting to be deleted and we know the Peter Schweisser guy is an old Sarah Palin crony that also may work with Ted Cruz now. In defense of that non partisan, he is also doing a book about (George) Bush Jr. And, yes by all means of it that this (Hillary
's campaign) candidate and its people want Bill to get blown by an intern to help divert these attentions to the scandals away from Hillary once and for all. 

And, kaboom. We get a Donald Trump hair joke again tonight. What ever happened with that law suit from last year? Did that have legs if you will or did it just die. There was no talk about any resolution and I actually forget if the case had merit to be a real claim or not. Well it was almost a joke about Donald Trump's hairdo.


The Koch Brothers saying they wanted a Scott Walker was this week, but in reality, that comment was said off the cuff at a lunch he had on Monday. Also, Sheldon Adelson picked his candidate to back this week which is Marco Rubio. All the candidates BTW, are in Iowa at some religion conference this weekend. They will not be attending the White House Correspondence dinner that is tonight. I mean to say that all of the GOP candidates are the ones in Iowa this week. 

Anyway, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. is the first guest tonight. He of course is the editor of Thimerosal: Let the Science Speak. He also appears in the documentary “Trace Amounts,” now available online.  A longtime environmental activist, Kennedy serves as Chief Prosecuting Attorney for Riverkeeper and President of Waterkeeper Alliance. He is the interviewee tonight that is happening right now. He is a big proponent of many environment issues and he is the one with a wild and shaky vocal pattern. I wonder what happened to him for him to get lucky (joke from 'Generation Kill; not a joke but a reference from it) enough to have that vocal pattern? He is a nice guy and he is always very nice during interviews. He also does a lot for us the people considering that he is a Kennedy. He is pro vaccine but he wants to get the mercury out of what we ingest in some way. I assume he means in Phish. Unless vaccines have mercury but I am not sure about it. But, do you trust the CDC (United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention)? I don't. It is all about money. Plus, I feel that most diseases are curable and I hate the way they test for their cures (with animals) which are done in unnecessary ways. Its a multi-billion dollar a year industry trying to create vaccines. Plus, there a lot of conflicts with regard to the people that have patents that also happen sit on the board at the CDC. I also do not get why there is controversy behind it aside from the money being the end all be all thing which I think I just answered my own question. And, OK. Kennedy just answered another question I just asked which is that there is indeed Mercury in some of these vaccines. That was a quick segment. The networks won't let people like him on to do interviews (because their sponsors are the pharmaceutical companies that he is fighting against or creating awareness) so its good he did this show tonight.

Who is worse? Who is worse at selling out to foreign interests? Is it the Clinton's? There is a half of a there, there for how they act. But does a Sheldon Adelson and a Citizens United that allows candidates kicks down to the likes of Israel have anything to answer to here in that same regard? Even though it is close, I do believe that the people that are GOP'ers, tend to want to make money more than say a Dem and especially more than a liberal. That is a huge generalization said today so pardon it please. As far as the Clinton's being surrounded by constant scandals, its driven by our media people. There are no real scandals and even Ken Starr said in that final report about Bill (Clinton) that the ONLY scandal was the oral sex and/or sex he had with whomever while he was in office and while he is married to Hillary. Plus, what is a non-profit organization today by tax law? They are all 'shell' organizations by our tax laws today. I guess the Dem's do get lots of money from our labor unions. I doubt it is in the hundreds of millions of dollars ranges though and why are we now talking literally about people NOT killing cows? Bill (Maher) joked about us acting differently if say a Sheldon Adelson was a Hindu. Whatever about it. Citizens United though is not great for politics and now that bar to donate money is way high. It is a stacked system that is led by people that are corrupt. Anna Marie (Cox) makes a great point that if the Koch's donate 800 million dollars to this upcoming election, that is like having a third party. I agree and think about how they made that money while plundering the earth. 


I don't know about that story about that third grade teacher that did the "I wish my teacher knew" assignment (in Colorado somewhere). Bill is turning that around now to give out that same assignment in say a Beverly Hills type of society. Here is this segment:

The Mid-Show Interview is with Eddie Huang, the host of the Vice series “Huang’s World” and the author of Fresh Off the Boat: A Memoir. He is the proprietor of BaoHaus, the NYC restaurant. (Twitter: @mreddiehuang). My licensing partner just got something placed on the show Vice. I was so psyched to see that happen. I love that show but I am now not even sure if its the same 'Vice' but if so, that show on HBO needs to be longer than a half an hour. A half an hour of it is way too short because it flies by like no tomorrow. The show tonight was one I learned so much from too. Like I knew about the corruptness if that is a word that had happened after the earthquake over in Haiti. I did not know the nuances deep down about it until now. Like the Chemicoil company (I think that is name or spelling of it), etc. and it just makes so much sense that the private companies that were corrupt with over billing and over charging that work during our wars and / or when they pick up those messes after we destroyed Afghanistan. It makes total sense that they use that same play book doing whatever they do after a catastrophe. I just cannot believe these people can live with themselves every day but then again, they have a shit load of money which may make it easy. It is beyond me and considering what I go through daily, I try so hard to ONLY do the right things in life today, and yet I get batted around for doing it. When I acted corrupt and when I did what I used to do on that black market, my life thrived so much more than it does today. It is wild how that works. It actually sucks how this society works that way. This society is made for the corrupt. That is for damm sure. 

I have never seen his sitcom "Fresh Off The Boat" but the ads and / or previews that I saw before it started to broadcast on the air were funny. I think some actors on it are also good and do people call Asians yellow per se? I thought that was Native Americans that were called yellow skinned?!?! No? 


They are also comparing stereotypes between Asians and Jewish people. I think any of them (stereotypes today) are so antiquated that they have all grown to be generalizations. The only things I see in each culture as being alike is that each as a whole, want to upkeep that culture to keep it growing perpetually. 


I will say that he just used a stereotype as a way to compare himself to being an outcast of a kid, to being 'black women.'

And, why did oriental become a bad word or tabu/taboo, to say out loud? I always wonder that too. There are hardly anything called oriental anything today. No rugs. No restaurants or fast food. No massage parlours. Nothing uses that word today.

Bill just brought up a huge story from this week. Of 28 examiners with the FBI Laboratory’s microscopic hair comparison unit, 26 overstated forensic matches in ways that favored prosecutors in more than 95 percent of the 268 trials reviewed so far, according to the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers (NACDL) and the Innocence Project, which are assisting the government with the country’s largest post-conviction review of questioned forensic evidence. The cases include those of 32 defendants sentenced to death. Of those, 14 have been executed or died in prison, the groups said under an agreement with the government to release results after the review of the first 200 convictions. The FBI errors alone do not mean there was not other evidence of a convict’s guilt. Defendants and federal and state prosecutors in 46 states and the District are being notified to determine whether there are grounds for appeals. Four defendants were previously exonerated. The admissions mark a watershed in one of the country’s largest forensic scandals, highlighting the failure of the nation’s courts for decades to keep bogus scientific information from juries, legal analysts said. The question now, they said, is how state authorities and the courts will respond to findings that confirm long-suspected problems with subjective, pattern-based forensic techniques — like hair and bite-mark comparisons — that have contributed to wrongful convictions in more than one-quarter of 329 DNA-exoneration cases since 1989.
I also want to reiterate that there are more than 94% of the federal cases that end with plea bargains. I also wrote that in one of my books (I think my first one 'Three Weeks In June')s. The Federal Government is so corrupt. They stack the decks while they cheat doing it. 

Did that one guy in the middle just say that the War On Drugs helped bring down the murder rate because these people are no longer are on the street and that they are in prisons? Wow. That is is complete nonsense. That is so simple minded to say that out loud. 

Regardless, they are talking about Gun Safety and how Tim McGraw played a Sandy Hook benefit after his fiddle players' kid died because of a bullet used in a gun accident. Joe Scarborough thanked Tim McGraw for playing at it but I just found out that people protested him (Tim McGraw) and some opening act quit being on his bill on some tour they had together. Talk about WOW. What idiots. He is a country artist too so you know he is into using guns and bullets. But just because he played at some benefit is why people protested him? Unreal.

The problem is not what the panel is talking about with regard to guns (good people with guns vs bad people with guns vs kooks with guns). The problem is that we are a nation that is filled with dumb asses that happen to have these lethal weapons. Please look at this stat that I posted about it last week which says it all about our usage compared to people in other countries around the world:
And, like I also said in tht headline is that 'Who says that the USA are not world leaders? '

Anyway, it's Time For New Rules Everyone, New Rules:
Cool. Bill did another post that I also did last week about the Elephant that killed the poacher:

YESSSS: Hunter Ian Gibson Trampled To Death By Elephant He Was Tracking To Kill For Ivory


Sara C Nelson from The Huffingtom Post reported just now that a professional game hunter has been trampled to death by an elephant he was attempting to kill. Ian Gibson was leading a hunt in Chewore North in the lower Zambezi Valley of Zimbabwe, when the bull elephant “began a full charge. ” In an online note on the website of his employers Safari Classics, the company explained Gibson had been tracking the elephant for five hours with a client when they stopped for a rest.

Ian Gibson was killed by a charging African bull elephant
It adds: “Feeling he was quite close to the elephant, Ian and his tracker Robert continued to follow the tracks in hopes of getting a look at the ivory as the client stayed with the game scout.” Gibson’s tracker indicated the elephant was in “musth” – a condition where the animal’s urge to mate goes into overdrive and it becomes overly aggressive, but Gibson continued. The note continues: “They eventually caught up with the bull, spotting him at about 50-100 metres. The bull instantly turned and began a full charge.

The animal was in a state of 'musth' making it aggressive (file picture)
“Ian and Robert began shouting in order to stop the charge. At very close range, Ian was able to get off one shot before the bull killed him. The scene was very graphic.”
It is not known if the animal was injured or killed in the incident. Gibson is paid tribute to as “a fine man and one of the most experienced professional hunters on the African continent.” The same company lost a staff member in 2012 when Owain Lewis was killed by a buffalo, NewZimbabwe reports.

And, finally, New Rule!


I never heard of these terms but then again, I don't have any kidz. I did know about the kids in Baltimore that walked home from the park and that had their parents get in trouble for some type of parental neglect or something. That is insane. I had to walk to school my entire life. It was always much further than being two blocks away from my house. Which is how far that recreational park is from those kids I speak about is to their home. Parenting when I was kid was not considered to be a monumental job like its portrayed today.

Good show again tonight. I learned a lot which is always cool. 

I will be writing about tonight's White House correspondence dinner and performances by the comedians, including the main act and hosting being done this year by none and other than Cecily Strong. Thanks for everything this week!

And, regardless of it all, Stain Touch!
