![Bill Maher DEFENDS Charlie Kirk after actor David Cross tried to paint him as racist. Maher refused to let Cross run away with the narrative. MAHER: “But like the the the rank and file Republican, I don’t think is a racist.” “I think you can get them into positions that look racist, but I don’t think in their bones they’re like what the racists kind of what I grew up was like a racist was somebody who didn’t want to shake a black person’s hand.” CROSS: “Yes...I don’t think that’s a thing, but I think there is...I mean I know there is because they say as much.” “There’s a feeling, a sense that...uh...I mean like Charlie Kirk stuff that women and black people and black women especially are just not...” “I’m not being an a**hole guys, I’m just saying they don’t have the mental, you know...” MAHER: “There was a little more [to it].” “I read that when he died, of course lots of places put his greatest hits...worst hits, worst things.” “And then somebody else printed something and this is what always happens with the media like I never trust it because you never get the full story, where like each one was put in with the full context.” “It was never quite as bad as they said.” CROSS: “I mean, context is everything, right?” MAHER: “It is. I’m just saying it was easy to pull from his quote bed and find stuff that I certainly don’t agree with even in the context, but it wasn’t quite what...it wasn’t quite what you were saying there.”](https://image.24vids.com/tw-2048798761640468606/amplify_video_thumb/2048796209226067968/img/8Rvw46T6Lm1r2FtE.jpg)
![Bill Maher just came to Charlie Kirk’s defense—saying he did something no one on the left was willing to do. Charlie built bridges and the left burned them down. And even Bill Maher knows it. “You know, they’re the people [the left] who don’t want to talk. It’s my main issue with them.” “Charlie Kirk was a guy who… he was ALWAYS talking.” “The right wingers, say what you want about them, but they talk to you.” “They’re not into this leftist think…the left really has much more of a I don’t talk to you, I don’t want to deal with you, you’re deplorable, I can’t break bread with you.” “All of the right wingers…they don’t have that attitude.” At least Maher is honest enough to call out his own side.](https://image.24vids.com/tw-1967585516439621941/amplify_video_thumb/1967582828356382720/img/_T7Kq5f_G8njlUyI.jpg)
![David Sedaris tells Bill Maher a drug addict’s dog bit a hole in his leg while he was walking in Portland. He wrote an essay, thinking the story would spark outrage. But he got a rude awakening when liberals blamed him and defended the addict. He couldn’t figure it out until Maher bluntly told him why: SEDARIS: “Nobody said how awful that you got bitten by a dog. They said, ‘What kind of a dog was it?’” [Maher laughs] SEDARIS: “One person said, ‘Did you get the names?’ And I said, ‘Oh, they’re fentanyl addicts… weren’t going to give me their names.’ ‘No, of the dogs, it would help to rescue them.’” “But if I had said, if I had said I was walking down the street and these tech bros… they’d be incensed.” “But because they were drug addicts, then everybody took their side. They felt like they couldn’t say that it was, they treated me like it was my fault. Or you just, ‘well, that’s the way it goes. You’re better off than they are.’” MAHER: “You get to, I think, what is just the heart of so much of our f*cked up politics.” “You say, ‘why is it so hard for people like me to say that it’s wrong for a drug addict’s dog to bite you?’” “And your answer is because then, oh, then you’re a Republican. Which is crazy because then it puts the Democrats in the position of the pro-drug addict dog biters.”](https://image.24vids.com/tw-2065631006049042506/amplify_video_thumb/2065630701693657088/img/5GRHYeUPWciaAVAt.jpg)
![Gena Rowlands explains the reason why "A Woman Under the Influence" (1974, Cassavetes), which was first written as a play, was made into a movie: "Rowlands: John wrote it as a play. He said, “Hey, I wrote you a play.” And I said, “Great, let’s read it.” I read it and I said, “John, I couldn’t do this every night and twice on Wednesday and Saturday. I wouldn’t be able to last two weeks. I’d die.” It was a very hard play to do every night. And he said, “Don’t worry. Don’t even think about it, you’re right. I hadn’t thought of that.” He said, “Just forget it.” Then in about two weeks he said, “Okay. I solved the problem. I wrote a different play for you.” He said, “So you won’t have to carry all of it every night. I used the same characters but I enlarged different parts of the scenes.” He changed it generally to make it humanly possible. And I said, “Oh, that’s a miracle, let me see it.” And I read it and I said, “Listen, you must know a lot of strong actresses!” [laughs] I said, “I still wouldn’t be able to do it. This is really hard.” She has a nervous breakdown—there’s a lot of things that are hard emotionally to do. So he said, “Okay. I’m going to write it as a picture.” I said, “I think I can get through it once.” [laughs] “But I’m not making any guarantees.” He thought that was funny and then he wrote it thinking like an actor too instead of just a writer. I think he took that into consideration. And it is, of course, much easier to do a film when you’re doing an extremely emotional part than it is doing it onstage over and over especially. Interviewer: Do you consider that to be your most challenging role? Mabel? Rowlands: Well, yes, it was my favorite. I loved doing that. And it was challenging. Interviewer: Since John gave you so much freedom to do what you liked as a character, how would you go about finding them? Was it something that was instinctual for you, from the script? Rowlands: I read the script, you know, 50 times. And I thought about it. And then I did it.
