(Molly Bruns, Headline USA) In an interview on the Joe Rogan Experience podcast, TV host and comedian Bill Maher opened up about the insanity unfolding on the left, Citizen Free Press reported.
The two and a half hour interview included discussions on government spending, in which Maher provided an example from California.
“They wanted to build a railway between Los Angeles and San Francisco,” Maher explained.
“Made sense, it’s a big long state, and cars, and it’s good for the environment, blah blah. When they finally pulled the plug because it just became too ridiculous, it was at $200 million a mile. France… did it for like one seventh.”
The conversation turned to President Joe Biden’s alleged infrastructure bill.
“When I hear about Build Back Better… I’m thinking always when you give me a number it just seems like you pulled it out of your a**,” Maher said.
“Are we going over this with a fine tooth comb? What if we only spent $1.2 trillion [instead of $1.5 trillion]? So much of the money is going to… all the pigs at the trough, all snorting this s**t up with their big snouts.”
Maher went on to discuss the phenomenon of the left moving farther into radicalism.
“People say to me you know ‘don’t you think you’ve gotten more conservative?’ No, I haven’t, the left has gotten goofier,” he explained.
“I seem more conservative maybe, but it’s not me who changed. Five years ago we hadn’t spent 6 trillion dollars to stay home… no one was talking about abolishing the police, you know, there was no talk about pregnant men, looting was still illegal.”
Abolishing the police, pregnant men, legal looting etc.

“So have I changed? No—because if someone had said 20 years ago ‘I don’t think looting is a bad thing,’ I would have opposed it then. I haven’t changed. But that’s what I think people are hungry for, common sense.”
Maher also went after Disney for their recent actions against Florida’s parental rights bill.
