We have to depend on other countries to exile people. We need something that we own, that nobody wants to go to, where it's really cold and really lonely, that we can send people without all this legal fault when we want to get rid of them. And I think Northern Greenland, Interior Greenland is a great candidate for that. Maybe in the old days, maybe we would have been sent to dig the Panama Canal.
Maybe we need to make it a little deeper. I don't know. But England had Australia, and we need something like that at this point, some third option to either ridiculous legal quagmires or total deportation.
The guy's argument for not wanting to go home was fear of crime. Well, that's our argument for getting rid of him. And I say it being our country and him being a visitor, we win. And we should win quickly. Really, it is a horrible waste for all the fascination it provides. It's a horrible waste of lawyers, money, and time to be worrying about cases like this. When there are...
tens of thousands of them that are probably nearly this serious and then hundreds of thousands behind those.
I really like Bill Maher and I've been on his show and I love talking to him after you do the show. He usually throws a party from talking to him. I've gotten to know that he really believes what he says most of the time. And I'm sure he believes everything he said about Donald Trump. And he sounds genuinely surprised.
And that was a huge risk for him to go and to come back and to and to be that sincere and genuine. He's taking nonstop hell for it. I mean, people are using every obscenity to tell him to go away right now. And I got I kind of admire him for it. You don't see actual risks taken in the media. They talk about audience capture. Everybody ends up a slave to their audience's prejudices.
Well, he he took the risk of not being. And he sounds like a kid, you know, who just danced with a girl and said, they're really not scary and they're not mean, you know. They smell kind of good and they're soft all over. And that authenticity is touching to me. And boy, the abuse won't stop.
Bill's got a unique relationship to his audience. He's always challenging them, really. I mean, every Bill Maher show has something that's a little uncomfortable for people that doesn't play to their prejudices or their assumptions. So this is the biggest case of that yet. And I think his audience is going to stick with him.
But I think he'll stay just as tough on Trump, but it will be more issues based.
Hey, Megan. Thanks for having us. Hey, media queen.
Media queen. Yeah.
He might be in El Salvador. Moynihan. He had the wrong tattoo and he got picked up. No, I loved Moynihan again.
I saw your mother and I was like, who's that elder stateswoman of the Venezuelan gang scene? I saw.
For us Irish, by us Irish.
Are there photos of this, Megan? Oh, my God. If you want to remain in the news cycle, Megan, that Matt is saying you're all over, just come next episode all FUBU gear.
That's the important thing. We love you. We love you, Mrs. Kelly.
I loved, by the way, on this, I saw some, you know, Ron Klain, no one was closer to Biden, so therefore these stories have a lot of credibility. There's no one who's further from Biden than me, and I knew this for four and a half years.
And if you went back, because we've been doing it for nine years, if you went back to us in 2020, I guarantee you there was some conversation about Joe Biden being too old. I was on Bill Marshall in 2022, and I remember talking about this, that the majority of Democrats thought he shouldn't run again. Why? Because they thought, you know, he wasn't liberal enough or something.
No, it's because he thought it was too old. All of this stuff is just confirming things that everyone has known. And by the way, there's one great thing is these quotes in there where the cadence of a quote makes all the difference. Like there was a quote in there of Donald Trump said it would be the most Trumpy thing where he's like, I'm the best president. All the people in Europe say it.
I'm the best. They all know me, but I must be the best. If Trump says that, you start laughing. If Biden said that, you're like, oh, my God, he's going to wander into traffic soon. It's a crazy person quote. Trump wants to destroy NATO, more or less. Joe Biden thinks he's the president of NATO.
