Special Edition: One-On-One With Bill Maher

First Chris speaks with comedian Bill Maher on how political polarization in America has never been worse, and Trump’s hold over the Republican Party. Next, Maher warns of a “slow-moving coup” and that since Trump lost he’s been putting people in place who will find the votes needed to win if he loses again.

The two then discuss wokeness and cancel culture taken to their extremes, with Maher saying “The reason why the Democrats have become so toxic is because they’ve become the party of no common sense”. Later, on critical race theory, Maher says he is not against teaching an honest history of racism and also defends Dave Chappelle over his recent Netflix controversy, which resulted in accusations of transphobia against Chapelle.

Finally, there’s a discussion on how the “Democrats will get thumped in the mid-terms” and Trump’s 2024 plans.
