Bill Maher: “[Yale] wanted to study themselves; why the trust in higher education is so in the toilet, which it is… unfair admissions standards, certainly Asian people have sued about that… but mostly it is indoctrination… At Yale, it’s 36-1, the number of Democrats to Republicans that work at...

CHAMATH: STAYING IN CALIFORNIA (DESPITE THE TAXES) “It’s given me everything, so I will not leave and I will keep building companies there and hiring people there. And if there’s taxes that I have to pay, I’ll pay these taxes. But I just think that at some point, we’re better off addressing the core issue of why people believe this form of governance actually makes sense. Is it because they actually think it’s better, or is it that they’re just angry about a bunch of other things? And I think it’s mostly the latter, so we should fix that because there is no sane human being that could look at any of this information and think that we are well run. We are completely, completely out of our mind… You know, there is a period where I definitely thought about [leaving California] and I went around. I looked at different places and I thought: ‘Wait a minute, California is incredible, Palo Alto is incredible, it’s given me everything.’ And I just said: ‘Okay, mentally here’s the number and just allocate it and just let’s move on with our lives and get back to building things that I think are important.’ The reason why people are angry, it’s the same reason they were angry in 1890, it’s the same reason they were angry in Europe in 1930 at the beginning, it’s the same reason after 2008, we’ve had all of this pushback, it’s the same reason. So at some point, we should just fix the core problem that everybody is shouting about, as opposed to allowing these other people to pervert the frustration they have into these dumb ideas and programs that are always about, give me more money and I will solve your problems. It just doesn’t work… The core problem is there is a large number of people that look and believe that the latter has been pulled up above them. Why do they believe that right now? I think very specifically technology has had this profoundly positive impact but very, very few of us participated in it. In the way that we all think that we’ve made it better for everybody, looking at Instagram reels does not make your life better. That’s not true. Being able to have a functional search is useful, but it doesn’t necessarily make your life better. So we have to answer the question, how does this economically benefit more people?” Chamath Palihapitiya via Squawk Box Andrew Ross Sorkin Joe Kernen

Bill Maher: “Why Can’t We Even Call It Islamic Terrorism?” Bill Maher: Obama said, “No religion is responsible for terrorism. People are responsible for violence and terrorism.” That sounds a lot like the NRA slogan. Rob Reiner: Yeah. “Guns don't kill people, people kill...” Bill Maher: He also said, “The notion that the West is at war with Islam is an ugly lie.” The Atlantic said, “The reality is that the Islamic State is Islamic.” So, who's right about this? Rob Reiner: I think neither are right. If you look at the most violent Islamic groups, whether it's ISIS or Al-Qaeda, these are essentially Sunni-based. And they would not be where they are now, especially in Syria and Iraq, had we not removed Saddam Hussein. Bill Maher: He looks better all the time. Rob Reiner: I'm not saying Saddam Hussein was a good guy. Bill Maher: He wasn't a good guy, but sometimes there are no good answers. It's just the best one possible. Rob Reiner: Basically, it is a religious war, but it's a religious sectarian war. And to paint it all as “Islamic,” I think is a big mistake. Elahe Izadi: Obama is trying to avoid the phrase “Islamic extremism.” This was the same challenge President Bush confronted. Bill Nye: If you say everybody who's Islamic is a terrorist, you're headed for trouble. Bill Maher: No one is saying that. Bill Maher: But this idea that we cannot even call it “Islamic terrorism” seems Orwellian to me. We're paying a very high price for this, which is we can't discuss it even rationally. Can't we at least say that there are a number of factors involved, and the religion is certainly one of them? Rob Reiner: Absolutely. Bill Maher: He presented this idea that it's poverty and education. It is poverty and education also, but why are they impoverished and uneducated? It's mostly because of the religion. Bill Nye: What do you think about pumping the internet into there, somehow? So that everybody had access to all of these books... Bill Maher: Yeah, that's another thing the religion might be against. And not to mention the sex part. They're fucked up about women!

Trump: I think it’s very sad, actually. I’m surprised that it wasn’t—you know—the public wasn’t notified a long time ago, because to get to stage 9, that’s a long time. I just had my physical. You saw that. You saw the results of that particular test. I think that test is standard to pretty much anybody getting a physical—a good physical. We had the doctors at the White House and over at Walter Reed, which is a fantastic hospital, do it. I did a very complete physical, including a cognitive test. I’m proud to announce I aced it. I got them all right. You proud of me? Your husband would be proud of me for getting them all right. It’s a little risk. If I didn’t get them all right, these people would be after me. It would be not a good situation. But I think, frankly, anybody running for president should take a cognitive test. They say it’s unconstitutional, but I would say in that particular case, having a cognitive test wouldn’t be so bad. But when you take tests—medical, as a male—that test is very standard. I don’t know if it’s given to everybody, but it’s given just about. And it takes a long time to get to that situation… to get to a stage 9. I think that if you take a look, it’s the same doctor that said that Joe was cognitively fine, there was nothing wrong with him. If it’s the same doctor, he said there was nothing wrong there. That’s been proven to be a sad situation. And the autopen is becoming a very big deal. You know, the autopen is becoming a big deal because it seems that maybe it was the president—whoever operated the autopen. But when they say that was not good, they also—you have to look and you have to say that the test was not so good either. In other words, there are things going on that the public wasn’t informed [about], and I think somebody is going to have to speak to his doctor—if it’s the same or even if it’s two separate doctors. Why wasn’t the cognitive ability—why wasn’t that discussed? And I think the doctor said he’s just fine, and it’s turned out that’s not so. It’s very dangerous… this is dangerous for our country. Look at the mess we are in. You talk about all these questions on Ukraine and Russia. That would’ve never happened, as an example, if I were president. It would’ve never happened. The other thing—you have to say: Why did it take so long? I mean, this takes a long time. It can take years to get to this level of danger. It’s a very, very sad situation. I feel very badly about it. And I think people should try and find out what happened. Because I’ll tell you, I don’t know if it had anything to do with the hospital. Walter Reed is really good. They’re some of the best doctors I’ve ever seen. I don’t even know if they were involved. But a doctor was involved in each case. Maybe it was the same doctor. And somebody is not telling the facts. That’s a big problem.

CNN’s Kaitlan Collins: “You said that it’s up to Congress if the president’s face is on a $250 bill. But it is actually — The Washington Post that’s reporting two political appointees from the Treasury Department who have asked agencies to be ready to — to do that. Do you think politically, it’s a good idea to put his face on a $250 bill when people are struggling to afford gas and groceries?” Treasury Secretary Bessent: “You know, I don’t really understand this Washington Post article that — who here’s from The Post? Yeah. Terribly written, terribly edited. Because basically what it says is that Treasury is following the law and that we created the bill and that it’s up to Congress, but that — we follow the bill and it’s up to — I didn’t really understand what the story was.” Bessent: “So — anyway —” Collins: “So, these two political appointees aren’t involved in that? Two of your political appointees?” Bessent: “Yeah, of course, but we — we prepare for everything. If it gets passed, just like we — we were ready six months in advance of the one big, beautiful bill for tax guidance that. So, we have to prepare in advance. You can’t draw something up the day before.” Collins: “But, politically, do you think it’s a good idea, though, when people are struggling to afford gas and groceries?” Bessent: “Look, I think it has — I think that it’s bifurcated. That — do you think we should have a 250th anniversary — the celebration?” Collins: “Well, that’s happening anyway, but putting the President’s face on a $250 bill —” Bessent: “No, no, no, no, no, no, no.” Collins: “— is a choice.” Bessent: “But Kaitlin, it’s not happening anyway. It’s happening because it’s being funded by private citizens, by the federal government, by state governments, by municipal governments to celebrate our country, and I don’t think that there’s anything untoward about having the President of the United States — the person who was President of United States on the 250th anniversary bill.”
