| | One of the most pathetic videos I've ever seen in my life. |
| | It's Bill Meyer talking about his visit to the White House, and he talks about Trump like he's a child. |
| | It's insane, so let's get straight into the video. |
| | Okay, as you know, 12 days ago I had dinner with President Trump, a dinner that was set up by my friend Kid Rock, because we share a belief that there's got to be something better than hurling insults from 3,000 miles away. |
| | And let me... |
| | So, did he question Trump? |
| | Did he have a conversation? |
| | Did he push back on anything he's doing? |
| | Illegal deportation through ICE? |
| | The tariffs? |
| | Let's see. |
| | First say that to all the people who treated this like it was some kind of summit meeting, you're ridiculous. |
| | That face. |
| | Well, it kind of was. |
| | Like, why are you there? |
| | Why are you there? |
| | He could be doing some important work, like, you know, actually doing his job. |
| | You're a comedian. |
| | You should be holding him to account. |
| | Imagine Colin going there. |
| | Bill Hicks. |
| | I mean, I'd like to see Bilbo go there, because I think Bilbo would actually be like, come on. |
| | What are you doing? |
| | Like, he'd actually really roast him to his face, which he needs. |
| | People like that. |
| | Trump has never had anyone push back. |
| | He demands loyalty. |
| | He surrounds people. |
| | He's surrounded by yes men. |
| | Do you think Bilbo pushed back on anything, questioned him on anything? |
| | Like I was going to sign a treaty or something. |
| | I haven't. |
| | Why are you there then? |
| | Like, measure the man on his actions. |
| | Like, just, oh, meet him. |
| | Even though he's doing all this stuff, he's all the crimes, how he treats women. |
| | I just got to see it for myself, because he's probably nice in the, and that's all that matters. |
| | Like, what was the objective here? |
| | It's really, it was just to launder Trump's reputation, because he's not doing too well. |
| | The tariffs aren't making Trump look good. |
| | So, was that the objective? |
| | Like, why were you there? |
| | I have no power. |
| | I'm a fucking comedian, and he's the most powerful leader in the world. |
| | I'm not the leader of anything, except... Why were you there then? |
| | Maybe a contingent of centrist-minded people who think there's got to be a better way of running this country than hating each other every minute. |
| | But the centrism, this, like, both-sidism of fascism and liberalism that got us to this point. |
| | We've had people over the last 20 years, experts, you have a discussion about climate change, and you go, here's the scientific consensus, and then some idiot who thinks it's, it's the centrism that's got us where we are. |
| | Like, we're taking these people seriously. |
| | We're taking Trump seriously. |
| | This is, it's figures like you that result in Trump. |
| | He doesn't get that, though. |
| | He doesn't get that. |
| | So, thank you. |
| | So, okay, so, meet up in person. |
| | Maybe it'll be different. |
| | How, though? |
| | Like, he's a fascist. |
| | He said he's going to be a dictator on day one. |
| | He is trying to suppress journalistic freedom, deportations, illegal tariffs that no one really wanted. |
| | Yeah, they may want tariffs, but they don't want the end product of it, higher prices. |
| | No? |
| | Yeah, it'll be different. |
| | Like, if you talk to Hitler or Putin, it'd be different. |
| | They're just different. |
| | like, when you listen to them, hear them out, yeah, they've, they've probably got a point. |
| | Spoiler alert, it was. |
| | First good sign before I left for the capital. |
| | How fickle do you have to be as a comedian? |
| | How fickle? |
| | How pathetic do you have to be? |
| | Bill Maher's, I can't stand Bill. |
| | Like, I've never liked him. |
| | He's, he's not funny. |
| | He, he has his jokes written for him, so he's not really a proper comedian, which I know a lot of people have their jokes written for them. |
| | I also think they're not proper comedians. |
| | Like, I don't, like, I like people who write their own jokes. |
| | But like, it's so pathetic. |
| | Like, this wouldn't happen in the 80s. |
| | Like, it wouldn't. |
| | Like, you'd seriously, something's gone wrong. |
| | Something's gone wrong in society where Bill Maher, a so-called comedian, visits Trump and it's just like, he's trying to justify and go, well, um, just, hear me out guys. |
| | Uh, he's a nice guy. |
| | I had my staff collect and print out this list of almost 60 different insulting epithets that the president has said about me. |
| | Things like, he's such a cook. |
| | Like, he's done that and then just like, well, I'm going to hear him out. |
| | He's probably a nice guy. |
| | He's insulted me. |
| | He's destroying the country. |
| | But, there's probably a reason for this. |
| | Um, uh, can you just, uh, Michelle, can you print out the insults and we'll get it signed? |
| | Uh, and that'll be the only pushback we do. |
| | Huh. |
| | Huh. |
| | People will think, I'm a genius. |
| | It's like, stupid, dummy, lowlife dummy, sleazebag, sick, sad, stone cold crazy. |
| | Trump's right. |
| | I mean, I agree with Trump on this one. |
| | You are pathetic. |
| | You are all of those things. |
| | Trump is right. |
| | I never thought I'd say this in my life, but I agree with Donald Trump. |
| | Really a dumb guy. |
| | Fired like a dog. |
| | His show is dead. |
| | The 60th. |
| | I brought this to the White House because I wanted him to sign it. |
| | Aw. |
| | Which he did. |
| | What does he think that means though? |
| | Like, does he think that's a win? |
| | In any way? |
| | He insulted you and then you printed it out. |
| | Like, what do you think you've achieved by that? |
| | Do you think you're sticking it to him or sticking it to the leftists or liberals? |
| | Like, it's no, it's no, no thinking. |
| | He's just, because you can't really, logically, you can't excuse Trump. |
| | Yes, he's a manifestation of the death of liberalism, the death of capitalism and, you know, fascism, the strong man. |
| | We're in the era of the strong man, fascist, where capitalism is dying and it's fascism that comes in and it's like, is this the solution? |
| | Obviously it's not. |
| | But like, what, what was Bill Myers' goal here? |
| | Apart, apart from obviously laundering Trump's reputation, which, it didn't work. |
| | Just makes them both look pathetic. |
| | Which he did with good humour and I know as I say that millions of liberal sphincters just tightened. |
| | Oh my God, his face. |
| | Not really, no. |
| | We just think you're pathetic. |
| | Didn't he sue you for a joke? |
| | Like, why would you do that? |
| | Such cuck behaviour, like weak behaviour. |
| | Like, is he just trying to get in his book so he doesn't get sued again? |
| | Like, is he scared of insulting the president again? |
| | In case he loses five million dollars? |
| | It's pathetic. |
| | Wow, it's just, oh, we will look back on this. |
| | This is a historical moment, especially in comedy. |
| | We will look back on this and go, wow, wow. |
| | Journalists weren't doing a job. |
| | Comedians weren't doing their job. |
| | And Donald Trump was elected again. |
| | How? |
| | How in a rational world would this happen? |
| | Oh my God, Bill, are you going to say something nice about him? |
| | What I'm going to do is report exactly what happened. |
| | You decide what you think about it. |
| | And if that's not enough pure Trump hate for you, I don't give a fuck. |
| | Yeah! |
| | Ooh, spicy, spicy. |
| | Great. |
| | Like, he's so insecure. |
| | Like, he's trying to defend it. |
| | Like, if you've got an opinion that's different, like, you're like, it's like, wow. |
| | Just how insecure is that? |
| | These are people, these people are like this. |
| | Like, what? |
| | You don't believe in freedom of speech? |
| | We can't criticize you for this? |
| | Like, what? |
| | Are you saying, like, we don't have to, like, oh, pathetic. |
| | Just pathetic. |
| | So, so, no, I didn't go MAGA. |
| | And to the president's credit, there was no pressure. |
| | But you didn't push back, though, did you? |
| | Like, did you actually question any of this stuff, what he's doing? |
| | Like, you're probably just polite. |
| | What'd you do? |
| | Like, it's so pathetic. |
| | Like, that's the only word I have for it. |
| | It's just so weak. |
| | Like, unless you, fucking hell. |
| | After we left the Oval Office, he showed me the little room off the office, you know, the one where Clinton used to, okay. |
| | The blowjob room, okay? |
| | I'm sorry, you don't get to say this when Donald Trump has had 26 allegations of sexual allegations, sexual misconduct and sexual assault. |
| | I'm sorry you don't. |
| | Friends with Epstein. |
| | I'd ask him, like, what happened in the summer of 1994 with Epstein in New York? |
| | Can you tell me about Jane Doe and what happened? |
| | And then what happened with the press conference in, you know, November, the week before the election? |
| | What happened there? |
| | The fact, that's all you have is what about ism? |
| | Like, can you address the, like, 34-time felon? |
| | How he treats his wife, Stormy Daniels? |
| | Grab him by the, you know what? |
| | Insane. |
| | Insane. |
| | No pushback. |
| | But, yeah, Clinton. |
| | Pathetic. |
| | Oh, my God. |
| | Wow. |
| | Wow. |
| | Well, not anymore. |
| | That's where they keep the merch now. |
| | Oh, my God. |
| | It is. |
| | And, and he gave me a bunch of hats, but he didn't ask me to take a picture in one, which I appreciated. |
| | Oh, he's just a nice guy. |
| | He's just, Trump is just a misunderstood guy. |
| | He may be a criminal, you know, he may be a rapist, but he'll give you a free hat. |
| | And that's all that matters. |
| | That's, that's all you, that's what you want in the president, right? |
| | Right? |
| | The guy I met is not the person who the night before the dinner shit tweeted a bunch of nasty crap about how he thought this dinner was a bad idea and what a deranged asshole I was. |
| | I read it and thought, oh, what a lovely way to welcome someone to your house. |
| | Oh, my God. |
| | That's, wow. |
| | Just a low, but what is he saying, though? |
| | Like, Trump's, he's just trying to convince him. |
| | It's not a bad guy. |
| | Even though what, you know, he said he was going to reduce the grocery prices on day one, end the Ukraine-Russian war 24 hours. |
| | Like, all this stuff he's going to do, make America great again, build the wall, bring back industry, which isn't going to happen. |
| | He's already making, he's already given in on China, so he's completely weak and knew he doesn't have the cards. |
| | Like, make it make sense. |
| | But when I got there, that guy wasn't living there. |
| | Now, does Trump want respect? |
| | Of course, who doesn't? |
| | My friend said to me, what are you going to wear to the White House? |
| | I said, I don't know, but I'm not going to dress like Zelensky, I'll tell you that. |
| | Yeah. |
| | Really? |
| | Really? |
| | Really? |
| | Really? |
| | Really? |
| | Really? |
| | That's all you have. |
| | Zelensky, a man fighting a war over the last three years. |
| | Would you say that a bit? |
| | Elon Musk, he never wears a suit. |
| | The real president who bought the election. |
| | Like, oh my God, it's just, like, he thinks that's funny. |
| | Like, that's just, really? |
| | Really? |
| | Just for starters, he laughs. |
| | Wow. |
| | Okay then. |
| | Oh, I didn't know that. |
| | Oh, he laughed. |
| | Oh, Donald Trump can laugh. |
| | Oh. |
| | Oh. |
| | The fact, the Epstein stuff then doesn't matter and the essay and all the crimes, fraud, tax evasion. |
| | In fact, he's a bully, misogynistic, racist. |
| | He, he laughs. |
| | That, that. |
| | Oh. |
| | Oh. |
| | You just humanized him for me. |
| | I thought, Oh. |
| | Oh. |
| | I'd never seen him laugh in public, but he does, including it himself. |
| | And it's not fake. |
| | Believe me, as a comedian of 40 years, I know a fake laugh when I hear it. |
| | Yeah, they are literally prompted to laugh. |
| | There's literally a lie in that studio telling them to laugh. |
| | Like, there's no organic comedy here. |
| | Like, I'm sorry, if you're laughing at Bill Ma, there's probably something wrong with you. |
| | There's probably some issues you need to deal with. |
| | And I thank you for them. |
| | Uh, no. |
| | Okay, example, in the Oval Office, he was showing me the portraits of presidents and he pointed to Reagan and said, in all seriousness, you know, the best thing about him, his hair. |
| | Ah. |
| | Like, that's not even... What's funny about that? |
| | I... |
| | I... |
| | I said, well, there was also that whole bringing down communism thing, waiting for the button next to the diet Coke button to get pushed and I go through the trap door. |
| | But no, he laughed, he got it. |
| | I said to him at one point, Mr. President, you know the dog... |
| | He got a joke. |
| | That's good. |
| | That's good. |
| | What significance is that? |
| | I don't know. |
| | But he laughed at a joke. |
| | So, anything he does, he laughed at a joke. |
| | Like, what point he's being made here? |
| | It's insane. |
| | It's just not logical, not right. |
| | Like, think this through. |
| | What is going on here? |
| | That's unusual in the White House. |
| | He said, well, a lot of the presidents, they had a dog for political reasons. |
| | I said, no, people love dogs. |
| | That's what that is. |
| | Oh, yeah. |
| | Okay, that's true. |
| | The man's a narcissist. |
| | Of course he doesn't know that. |
| | Like, do you think dog, do you think Trump would ever look after a dog or care about a dog? |
| | Oh, this is so stupid. |
| | Like, what point does he think he's making that anecdote? |
| | It just makes Trump look insane. |
| | I'm telling you what happened. |
| | At one point, we were walking through his amazing, it is an amazing tour of the whole house and I don't remember exactly what we... Oh, my God. |
| | Did you push back on anything and say like, come on, what happened with Epstein? |
| | I'd say that like, come on, tell us. |
| | How many times, how many times did you, you know, with Epstein? |
| | Like, come on. |
| | We were talking about, but it must have been something with the 2020 election because I know he used the word lost and I distinctly remember... |
| | I don't believe this. |
| | Trump still says that it was taken from him. |
| | I don't believe this. |
| | He's literally having to make stuff up now. |
| | I believe, truly believe that he's just lying here. |
| | Like, it's like, oh, God, like, right, try and make him look good. |
| | Try and make Donald Trump look good. |
| | Impossible project, by the way. |
| | Well done for Bill for trying. |
| | He's not really succeeding, but, um, lie that he said lost about the election even though he never conceded that in public. |
| | I remember saying, wow, I never thought I'd hear you say that. |
| | He didn't get mad? |
| | Wow. |
| | Donald Trump didn't get mad in private. |
| | He usually gets mad quite often. |
| | He screams, shouts, throws tantrums. |
| | Like, that is who he is. |
| | Very childish man. |
| | Very angry man. |
| | He didn't, he didn't do that. |
| | It's some progress, right? |
| | He's much more self-aware than he lets on in public. |
| | See, this is what I mean, treating him like a child. |
| | Like, he's much more self-aware than he appears. |
| | Really? |
| | Really? |
| | Really, Bill? |
| | Look, I get it. |
| | It doesn't matter who he is at a private dinner with a comedian. |
| | It matters who he is on the world stage. |
| | Yes, I'm just taking... |
| | Yes, he does, but why not talk about that? |
| | Why not talk about that instead of your silly experience, which is meaningless, by the way. |
| | This, everything he said is meaningless. |
| | It doesn't mean a thing. |
| | This anecdotal experience, like, oh, he joked about Reagan. |
| | It's meaningless. |
| | Taking as a positive that this person exists. |
| | Why? |
| | Why, though? |
| | Why? |
| | Why would you do that? |
| | It's completely irrational. |
| | It's purely emotional. |
| | It's like, he wants to, like, it's like, ah, ah, don't look at his actions. |
| | Don't look at what he says and does. |
| | It's like, ah, ah, ah, ah. |
| | Because everything I've ever not liked about him was, I swear to God, absent, at least on this night with this guy. |
| | That means nothing. |
| | You could say that about Hitler. |
| | You could say that about Genghis Khan. |
| | You could say that about Stalin. |
| | You could say that about the worst people. |
| | You could say that about Harold Chipman, the most notorious serial killer who killed, like, hundreds of people. |
| | What was it? |
| | 400 people? |
| | 200 people? |
| | You could say, like, oh, he's a nice guy, intelligent guy, he's a doctor. |
| | Cultured. |
| | Like, loved Proust, like, what? |
| | Bob, Kid Rock, told me the night before, he said, if you want to get a word in edgewise, you're going to have to cut him off. |
| | He'll just go on. |
| | Not at all. |
| | Oh my God. |
| | I've had so many conversations. |
| | He's a narcissist. |
| | He does that. |
| | He knows how to play people. |
| | He knows how to play people. |
| | Trump probably is charismatic. |
| | Well, he kind of is. |
| | Interpersonally. |
| | He will tell you what he wants to hear. |
| | He'll listen to you. |
| | He'll massage your ego. |
| | Like, he got caught. |
| | Imagine getting caught by Trump. |
| | Imagine actually believing drinking the Kool-Aid of Trump. |
| | Wow. |
| | Wow. |
| | Like, I'm speechless. |
| | With prominent people who are much less connected. |
| | People who don't look you in the eye. |
| | People who don't really listen because they just want to get to their neck. |
| | I'm sorry, Trump wasn't listening to you. |
| | Just because he looks you in the eye. |
| | Like, that's what narcissists do. |
| | Narcissists are very good at pretending that they care about you. |
| | Not all of them. |
| | Some just aren't. |
| | They're pretty honest. |
| | They don't. |
| | But some are incredibly charismatic, incredibly good at drawing you in. |
| | Like, listening, like, oh, I understand you. |
| | Wow. |
| | You're so different. |
| | Like, I've never met anyone like you. |
| | You're so great. |
| | You're intelligent. |
| | They're really good at doing that. |
| | This is narcissism. |
| | An element of narcissism. |
| | Like, insane. |
| | Can you give an example? |
| | Like, did you push back on anything? |
| | Did you have a real discussion? |
| | Did you, like, like, it seems like, this is something that would happen in North Korea or China where, like, the comedian goes in and they have a night they're showing around and they don't push back on anything and it's like, great, and then they have to make excuses for why they did it and go, well, he laughs, he laughs, he listens, um, uh, uh, he's a good guy. |
| | And he mostly steered the conversation to, what do you think about this? |
| | I know. |
| | Your mind is blown. |
| | No. |
| | It's really not blown. |
| | It's, no. |
| | If you think that my mind is blown by that, you don't understand how people operate, especially people like Trump. |
| | That was mine. |
| | That was mine. |
| | Okay, that's enough of that. |
| | That, I told you it was the most pathetic you'll ever see, thing you'll ever see. |
| | So, at least I brought that to you. |
| | The most pathetic, groveling, pointless, ego massaging, just, bootlicking thing. |
| | I, these are, this is comedian. |
| | This is what comedians are doing now. |
| | Wow. |
| | Insane. |
