r"Real Time" host Bill Maher closed his show Friday night by sounding the
alarm on China's growing dominance over the United States.
Why are Americans sleeping?
c
We aren't sleeping; we are spending our time teaching and assisting little boys
how to become little girls!!!
And, if we aren't busy doing that, we have the Sec'y of Defense responding to
an order from the 'commander' in chief, designing stylish new uniforms for
pregnant 'soldiers'.
"You're not going to win the battle for the 21st century if you are such silly
people. And Americans are all silly people," Maher began the monologue,
alluding to a "Lawrence of Arabia" quote.
Do you know who doesn't care that there's a stereotype of a Chinese man in a
Dr. Seuss book? China," he said. "All 1.4 billion of them couldn't give a
crouching tiger flying f--- because they're not silly people. If anything, they
are as serious as a prison fight."
Maher acknowledged that China does "bad stuff" from the concentration camps of
Uyghur Muslims to its treatment of Hong Kong.
But he stressed, "There's got to be something between an authoritarian
government that tells everyone what to do and a representative government that
can't do anything at all."
"In two generations, China has built 500 entire cities from scratch, moved the
majority of their huge population from poverty to the middle class, and mostly
cornered the market in 5G and pharmaceuticals. Oh, and they bought Africa,"
Maher said, pointing to China's global Silk Road infrastructure initiative.
He continued: "In China alone, they have 40,000 kilometers of high-speed rail.
America has none ... We've been having Infrastructure Week every week since
2009 but we never do anything.
Half the country is having a never-ending woke competition deciding whether Mr.
Potato Head has a d--- and the other half believes we have to stop the lizard
people because they're eating babies. We are such silly people.
"Nothing ever moves in this impacted colon of a country. We see a problem and
we ignore it, lie about it, fight about it with each other, endlessly litigate
it, sunset clause it, kick it down the road, and then write a bill where a
half-assed solution doesn't kick in for 10 years," Maher explained. Then the
half-assed bill is forgotten. "China sees a problem and they fix it. They
build a dam. We debate what to rename it."
The HBO star cited how it took "ten years" for a bus line in San Francisco to
pass its environmental review and how it took "16 years" to build the Big Dig
tunnel in Boston, comparing that to a 57-story skyscraper that China built in
"19 days" and Beijing's Sanyuan Bridge, which was demolished and rebuilt in "43
hours."
"We binge-watch, they binge-build. When COVID hit Wuhan, the city built a
quarantine center with 4,000 rooms in 10 days and they barely had to use it
because they quickly arrested the rest of the disease," Maher said.
"They were back to throwing raves in swimming pools while we were stuck at home
surfing the dark web for black market Charmin.
We're not losing to China, we LOST. The returns just haven't all come in yet.
They've made robots that check a kid's temperature and got their asses back in
school. Most of our kids are still pretending to take Zoom classes while they
watch TikTok and their brain cells fully commit ritual suicide." Our teacher's
unions are finding every single way to keep themselves on the payroll, but keep
students out of the classrooms.
WAKE UP AMERICANS!! That means ALL of YOU.
Maher then blasted New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio, accusing him of
degrading school standards by eliminating merit and substituting a lottery
system for admittance to schools for advanced learners. Our country is going
down the toilet.
"Do you think China's doing that, letting political correctness get in the way
of nurturing their best and brightest?" Maher continued.
"Do you think Chinese colleges and universities are offering courses in 'The
Philosophy of Star Trek, 'The Sociology of Seinfeld,' and 'Surviving the Coming
Zombie Apocalypse'?
Can this be real? Well let me tell you, China is real. And they are eating
our lunch. And believe me, in an hour, they'll be hungry again."
