00:00
And now, why the hell was there red tape if you can just get rid of the red tape?
00:06
Starring Bill Maher!
00:07
Why do we live in this state, in this red tape nightmare, the other times of the year
00:13
when we're not on fire?
00:15
Bill Maher on TMZ Live, he was talking about the wildfires and rebuilding.
00:20
Fortunately, Bill's home is okay, so he doesn't have to rebuild.
00:24
But he has dealt with the building process in LA.
00:27
He was trying to build a solar panel and construct a shed in his backyard.
00:31
Took him way over a year to get the permits to build a shed in his own property.
00:37
You may not cry for Bill, but what about the people trying to rebuild the homes they just
00:41
lost?
00:42
They're stupid rules, and there's like five different departments you have to go through
00:45
to build anything.
00:46
It takes two years to get permits, a year and a half to build.
00:51
But now the governor and mayor are saying they're going to make it easier for the fire
00:54
victims.
00:55
Newsom, Bass, they're all saying, we're going to cut red tape.
01:00
As if they're doing us a favor.
01:01
My question is, well, if you can do it now, why don't you always do it?
01:05
It's a good point.
01:06
And even without the red tape, how much faster will it be?
01:09
We are going to have, what, 20,000 new homes being built at once.
01:13
It's going to be slower than ever before.
01:16
It's going to be slow to the max.
01:18
And speaking of max.
01:19
Can I just say, Bill Maher has a great special on max.
01:23
How great is his suit on this special?
01:26
Please, is anyone else seeing this?
01:28
It's a good looking suit.
01:30
Thanks, Bill, and good luck on Friday's premiere of Real Time.
01:34
I think we should demand better.
