So I actually think opening up dialogue with individuals you disagree with is more important than just existing in this echo chamber where you're going to hear everything you want to hear, where your ideas are going to be validated, and quite frankly, where the lack of challenge to your ideas will make you quite weak and unappealing eventually to the electorate.

Knowing Bill Maher's values, it's unlikely. I do think that they have some common ground because of the fact that Bill Maher is willing to call out some of the pathologies on the left, some of the culture, cultural issues on the left, the closed mindedness and stuff like that. So I think that finding that common ground is important.

And I think that's what kind of opened up this situation where they can sit down and have a conversation with each other. But that doesn't necessarily mean that Bill Maher is going to be like a red hat wearing Trump supporter tomorrow. It just means that at least he had a dialogue. Maybe he's better. He's better suited to understand where Trump is coming from and vice versa.

It's just an important thing to do when you have two major public figures who disagree with each other come together. And I think what Kid Rock said about the importance of healing the country is very much true. Again, you have two very different sides.

But is there a way that the two different sides can work together where they have common ground and also not engage in this really disgusting fear mongering and dehumanization that we've seen in this country for the last several decades in regard to the other side? We need to get past that because we need to bring Americans together.

Yeah, I mean, look, I think that there are a few different things happening simultaneously. And I definitely played a role in it. And then once I realized how toxic it was, I tried to kind of reform the way that, you know, the majority of people on the left think about engaging in dialogue. So if you want to have...
