I want to just, you know, not to deflect because I think this is unfair and it's gross for him to say so, but then do nothing about it. But I just wanna give you a sense of how poorly he has governed this state. Because now California, the highest tax state in this country, is facing a $12 billion deficit. So he put out his budget proposal.

He is proposing to make Medicaid recipients, the poorest Americans among us, pay $100 a month in premiums to get Medicaid benefits. So he's essentially punishing the poorest among us for his poor governance. He's a terrible politician, terrible person.

Well, I have some experience with this, not necessarily meeting with Donald Trump, of course, but, you know, the culture where you're not supposed to talk to the other side at all. I mean, I've lost friends for my willingness to come on shows like this one because I think it's important to have these conversations. I do think that there are areas of common ground.

It doesn't mean you need to be a Trump supporter, but. Trump is the president of the United States, meaning he's meant to represent everyone, including individuals who did not vote for him. And if the left in general is unwilling to even have a conversation with anyone on the right, including the president, well, how are you ever going to expect him to consider

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.
