Yeah, they always go to Hitler. It's so boring. It's so conventional, but they can't help themselves. There's nothing that Trump has in common with Hitler, right? He's a thoroughly American figure, runs through this populist tradition, going through Andrew Jackson, Huey Long, George Wallace, not the racism of George Wallace, but the anti-elitism.

And there are things to like and really dislike about that tradition. That's all fair game. But they got to go to Hitler. And look, Bill Maher did the right thing, right? Donald Trump, like it or not, is at the center of our national life. Bill Maher is a hugely consequential commentator who talks about Donald Trump all the time. he should know as much as he reasonably can about Donald Trump.

And as Winston Churchill used to say, there's nothing like being there, going yourself and seeing yourself. And he learned things about Donald Trump, right? And they didn't accord with his worldview. And unlike George Clooney, until the last moment with Joe Biden, he admits it.

and will admit the attention and say he actually learned something, and he's going to share it with his viewers, which is the honest, factual thing to do. And the fact is, Donald Trump in person, he's a professional host in part, so he can be extremely gracious.

He's a great one-on-one politician, which accounts for a lot of his hold on the Republican Party, which you might miss unless you know that about him. And now Bill Maher knows it. He went and found out, which was the right thing to do.

Yeah, so this is my latest hot take on this. One, the politics are just terrible for Democrats, right? Because if you say I'm advocating – they have so little credibility on immigration. If you say I'm advocating for a legal immigrant who may have beaten his wife, probably did beat his wife, may be a member of MS-13, but it's all about due process.

A lot of the public is just going to hear, oh, you're advocating for an illegal immigrant who may have beaten his wife, may be a member of MS-13. So this is not a good issue for them. But I think like substantively in terms of where we are in deportations, it's the whole alien enemies thing is a blind alley. Let's say the administration succeeds legally, which seems unlikely.
