“Real Time” host Bill Maher has taken a blowtorch to San Francisco’s “crazy” reparations plan that would give black residents millions of dollars.

During Friday night’s roundtable with former presidential candidate Andrew Yang and Rep. Elissa Slotkin, D-Mich., Maher questioned whether the reparations proposal was going “too far,” saying it was “a lot” to give $5 to each black resident. million.

“Even I haven’t gone that far,” Yang joked, alluding to his universal basic income policy he pursued in 2020.

“I mean, it seems like, you know, when people ask why you speak out against waking madness – because it’s crazy. Isn’t it crazy?” Maher said. “And by the way, San Francisco has no history of slavery or anything like that, you know. This would cost each remaining citizen $600,000 each. This is madness, isn’t it?

Yang called the proposal a “political statement”, telling Maher “We have a lot of people at different stages of the public service releasing bills and policies that are more for messaging and fanning the fires on people’s homes. social media than actually trying to get something across.”

The HBO star also addressed the turmoil that erupted at Stanford University where progressive law students yelled at Trump-appointed federal judge Kyle Duncan, who was asked to speak on campus, but the Disruption was supported by Dean of the School of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) Law Tirien Steinbach.

“I mean, push, man. Like, just keep going,” Slotkin said.

“It was impossible,” Maher pushed back. “You don’t have a problem if the college officer is up there defending the troublemakers and not the speaker? Because that’s what she did. She defended the troublemakers, not the speaker. ‘speaker.”

Maher then pivoted to the University of Michigan where he cited a statistic claiming the college has “142” DEI staffers on its payroll.

“That’s a lot, isn’t it? Maher reacted. “Has this become a cottage industry? I mean, is this something where these are jobs now? And these people will one day want to quit their jobs?”

“I have no problem with an institution looking at itself and hiring people to do this. I have friends who do this for Fortune 100 companies. It’s a good thing to do that,” Slotkin replied. . “I don’t know the 142 jobs, but I don’t have a problem with institutions that think things through and try to do better in their own way. I don’t have a problem with that.

“So when I was running for president, I was trying to figure out why college got two and a half times more expensive and it didn’t get two and a half times better – newsflash,” a Yang said. . “And that’s because they’ve hired two and a half times as many administrators. So there’s bloat in a lot of different directions.”
