I don't understand how the republican party is the party with the reputation for fiscal conservatism and fiscal sanity, when they're the ones who run up the debt. it was reagan who ran up the debt and now bush is doing it again, and in between, clinton and bush's father, i must say, worked so hard to get that deficit and that debt down.

More From Bill Maher

One might talk about the sanity of the atom the sanity of space the sanity of the electron the sanity of water- for it is all alive and has something comparable to that which we call sanity in ourselves. the only oneness is the oneness of sanity.

Back in 1980, the conservative movement was all-in for ronald reagan. once reagan won, they all wanted to be on the team. it was a landslide. everybody wants to bask in that glow. and then as the reagan years began, then the republicans, certain members of the party began to individually fall out and start talking about problems they had, secretly telling the media they thought reagan was a dunce and a danger to world peace, adopting the democrat line that reagan's finger on the nuclear button couldn't be trusted.

I think there's a growing amount of confusion about what conservatism is. and it is time for us to understand that conservatism is not built on personalities. conservatism is not simply built on how angry you might seem from time to time. conservatism is built on a set of principles and ideas that our nation desperately needs.

Our practical choice is not between a tax-cut deficit and a budgetary surplus. it is between two kinds of deficits: a chronic deficit of inertia, as the unwanted result of inadequate revenues and a restricted economy; or a temporary deficit of transition, resulting from a tax cut designed to boost the economy, increase tax revenues, and achieve -- and i believe this can be done -- a budget surplus. the first type of deficit is a sign of waste and weakness; the second reflects an investment in the future.

Conservatism is not the problem. conservatism is the founding of this country, essentially. conservatism isn't even really an ideology. conservatism is just what is right, proper, decent, and moral. that's all it is.

I just find this interesting that ronald reagan was regarded much the way donald trump is except reagan was governor of california. he had run for the nomination the republican party in '76. but he was laughed at. they thought he was dumb then. they thought he was slow minded and dim-witted back then. they thought he couldn't speak. they thought reagan - amazingly, a guy that later became known as the great communicator - couldn't speak.

The directing thing, to do it well, i think you have to have a hell of a lot more discipline than i do, or be a lot more willing to really take charge of whole large group of people than i feel comfortable doing - because a director really has to run everything, and be very confident in their ability to do so.

But i think the children of actors share a certain pragmatic approach. one is denied some of that 'running away with the circus' element of being an actor.

So when i hear a guy after a game-winning home run say or gesture that god was on his side, i think to myself, 'he's saying god screwed the pitcher.

Running had always been off the table for me. it just looks embarrassing when i do it. i viewed it like learning a new language - best to learn it as a child.
