‘You’re full of s**t!’ Guest spells out Bill Maher’s ignorance over January 6th to his face

Sparks flew on the set of Bill Maher’s Club Random podcast when the topic of January 6 came up.

Discussing politics with playwright David Mamet, Maher argued that he was “stuck” on the 2020 election because he believes “it’s not been resolved.”

Watch:

“The asymmetry of American elections. The fact that if one party, the Republican Party, wins the election, the other party goes ‘Okay. You win some, you lose some,” and they go home,” Maher said. “Hillary Clinton went home, Kamala Harris went home. You can’t imagine Trump ever going home.”

“So the question’s not what he did, the question is not even what he might do, what you just said is one can’t imagine what he would do, but on the other hand-” Mamet interjected.

“I don’t have to imagine what he did in 2020 — which was never concede the election,” Maher responded.

“Dude, he didn’t have to concede the election he lost. If somebody is beaten in a prize fight, and the other guy gets the belt, the person who’s beaten does not have to concede. It’s not necessary,” the playwright argued.

“The analogy falls down because, if a price fighter loses, it doesn’t inspire people to riot,” Maher spat.

“How did he inspire people to riot?” Mamet grilled.

“By not conceding the election!”

“So he didn’t say the words ‘I concede’ and that meant people rioted?” Mamet asked, incredulous.

“What do you think January 6 was about? It was about people who did not hear their leaders say — as every other leader in this country has said after an election — ‘OK, I lost. We welcome the new guy. We had disagreements, but now we’re all Americans,” Maher reasoned.

“So what?” Mamet wondered.

“So what?!” Maher exclaimed. “It inspires half the country to not accept the basic democratic principle that we have elections, and when you lose, you go away and then you become the loyal opposition.”

“You’re full of s**t!” Mamet stated bluntly. “I don’t understand when you say that he did not say the words ‘I concede’ caused half the country, which you just said — to riot.”

“I didn’t say half the country rioted. A lot of people rioted, and it was less than half the country because he got less than half the votes and still won. That’s okay, that’s our system. But a good deal of the country, approaching half, the people who are MAGA, the people who love him, at least a third of the country, will now, in the future, never accept any electoral results. And a democracy can’t continue in that way,” Maher said.
