‘They’re Trying to F*cking Kill Us!’ Bill Maher and Roseanne Spar in Conspiracy-Heavy Podcast Conversation
Rosanne Barr was the guest on Bill Maher’s Club Random podcast on Sunday, and they spent nearly the whole time sparring jovially about various conspiracy theories.
While sharing a cigar and drinks, Maher pressed Barr on some of her wackier beliefs as they came up in the “wide-ranging” conversation. It’s not news that the former sitcom star has some points of view that could diplomatically be called “controversial,” but when mixed with Maher’s responses and the speed at which they move on to a different topic, it made for a wild exchange. Like this one about vaccines:
Maher: I have a lot of videotape that if I wanted to go into the archive, I could send you where I pretty much alone in media was questioning the pharmaceutical industry and people like Monsanto. I was… early part of the century with the…
Rosanne: I know you were.
Maher: Yeah, so I’m not the guy to hit that with the “You’re from Monsanto”…
Roseanne: But what about the vaccine shit?
Maher: And I’ve been way out on the limb on that one too.
Roseanne: You were wrong!
Maher: I don’t know which… I don’t know what your stance on vaccines is. So why don’t you tell me yours and I’ll tell you mine and we’ll see who’s wrong.
Roseanne: They’re trying to fucking kill us!
Maher: They’re trying to?
Roseanne: Yeah. That’s why they’re giving us the vaccine.
Maher: I don’t think they’re trying.
Roseanne: Well, they are killing us.
Maher: Well, it’s much more complicated.
Roseanne: They hate us!
Maher: Who hates us? The pharmaceutical industry? No, actually…
Roseanne: The fucking crazyass psychopath billionaires. They hate the regular people.
Maher: Okay, Bernie. So, but you’re not one of the regular people. Look at you. You’re a southern belle. You’re, you’re like in a Tennessee Williams play. And you’re the…
Roseanne: “I’ve always depended on the kindness of strangers.”
There was also a fun bit about lizard people and the Zohar, to which Roseanne subscribes (which is a real thing and a central part of Kabbalistic literature):
Roseanne: You’re going to say I’m mentally ill, which I say I am.
Maher: Well, then why are we having this discussion?
Roseanne: Because you have to listen to the mentally ill, as the Zohar says…
Maher: Well, that’s a circular argument.
Roseanne: As the Zohar says in these days…
Maher: Zohar?
Roseanne: The Zohar, the holy Jewish…
Maher: Who’s that?
Roseanne: The holy Jewish…
Maher: Is that the thing in Big where he goes…
Roseanne: Yeah, but in reality…
Maher: Really? You believe in that?
Roseanne: Of course, I’ve read it. You should read it.
Maher: The thing in the movie Big? [Ed. note: The thing in the movie Big is Zoltar.]
Roseanne: Sorta, but they make it a cult, and they put it in their movies. Because they’re Satan worshippers.
Maher: Is Zohar a cult?
Roseanne: No, they’re set in their Satan worshipers from Babylon, they’re the reptiles.
Maher: Long Island?
Roseanne: No, they’re the reptile people, Bill.
Maher: Oh, the lizard people.
Roseanne: Yeah, the reptiles.
Maher: Yes, I know that QAnon especially believes that there are a lot of the world’s elite, Queen Elizabeth was a lizard person. George Bush. George W. Bush was a… There are people who are you know, they normally when we see them, they’re out there in a suit and tie and they’re speaking.
Roseanne: No. It’s not that.
Maher: They’re actually lizards. They’re actually…
Roseanne: Well…
Maher: And once in a while you catch in the blurry photograph of someone and you just, you know, the…
Roseanne: I don’t believe all that.
Maher: Oh, no.
Roseanne: But I believe that something affects you after thousands of years of inbreeding.
