Club Random with Bill Maher
Michael Franzese | Club Random

My son-in-law absolutely loves you, and I was mad at him at times. What do you like this guy for? I'm serious. I used to say, what do you like? And now look at us. We're bros. And then in the last couple of years, I'm saying, man, I think I was wrong. Billโ€” He says it like it is. What do you believe? And I really mean that. Well, I will not be the one to break the peace we've made today.

But listen, I just want to โ€“ you don't have to admit to anything. I just want you to think about this because maybe we'll come back. It doesn't have to be we'll come over dinner. Give Trump โ€“ and you are. You said it. I'm not going to hate everything. I'm going to give him a chance. I will not pre-hate. You will not pre-hate. And what I hate, I will say. Okay. And what I don't hate, I will say.

I believe this about Trump, and there's no reason why I like him. I don't know him. I think he cares about the people in this country. He does. I would not argue with that. He genuinely loves America, loves... you know, everything it gave him. He just has a mental problem. He's a, you know, narcissist is the word they throw around a lot.

They don't really understand when they talk about it, I think, that it's an actual psychological issue. It's in like the psychology digest. It's diagnosable. Like if it was bipolar, people would be like, oh God, bipolar, we can't have that. Narcissism, they just kind of think, oh, it's a personality quirk. It's way beyond that with him.

If you love him and you flatter him, everything is great and he will never disagree with you or denounce you, whether you're Vladimir Putin or Satan. And if you oppose him, then he will just, goes immediately into five-year-old, I will destroy you mode. I just don't think this is a way to run a railroad. I just don't think ultimately this is going to turn out well. But you know what? Again.

I don't think it's bad that we're reexamining a lot of things that just slowly this country was bloating itself to death. It's just things like slowly over time, like the way no government program ever ends. If you start it, it grows and it grows. And yes, I'm not yet going to condemn Elon Musk, even though he seems to have a cadre of teenagers.

When I say I don't even want to learn, it's too complicated for me. These young kids are smart. And are any of your managerial skills that you brought to podcasting borrowed from your days in the old life? Like you break a knee if somebody is, you know, in the break room too long or something? I mean, look, you know. The answer is yes. I mean, I don't mean to break knees and all that.
