Peterson</a> stunned Bill Maher&#8217;s live audience earlier this month when he declared that leftists got their typical &#8220;oppressor, oppressed&#8221; narrative wrong on the Israel-Hamas war and that the consequences will unfold &#8220;brutally.&#8221;
The clinical psychologist and <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Daily Wire+</a> host told Maher that leftists have decided Palestinians are the &#8220;victims&#8221; and, therefore, &#8220;morally righteous.&#8221;
&#8220;One of the things the Democrats also have to pay the price for, I would say, is their absolute refusal to draw a line between the moderate Democrats and the extremists. They&#8217;re completely incapable of doing that,” Peterson said during his November 10 appearance on HBO&#8217;s &#8220;Real Time with Bill Maher.&#8221;
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
&quot;The leftists have already decided the Palestinians are the victims. If you&#39;re a victim, then you&#39;re morally righteous. Even more conveniently if you stand for the victim then you&#39;re morally righteous regardless of what you do with your own life&quot;

Peterson said he has asked 40 members of Congress the same question, &#8220;When does the Left go too far?&#8221;

&#8220;Well we certainly bloody well saw it in the last month, didn&#8217;t we? Cause they got the oppressor, oppressed narrative a little mucked up, we might say. And the consequences of that are going to unfold pretty brutally over the next few months,&#8221; Peterson said.
Peterson said that in the context of the war between Israel and Palestinian terror group Hamas, “leftists have already decided the Palestinians are the victims.”
&#8220;If you&#8217;re a victim, then you&#8217;re morally righteous. And even more conveniently, if you stand for the victim then you&#8217;re morally righteous regardless of what you do with your own life,&#8221; Peterson said.
On October 7, Hamas launched deadly terrorist attacks on Israel that killed more than 1,200 people, including women and children. Israel has responded with airstrikes and a ground offensive.
The problematic worldview festers on university campuses, Peterson explained.
&#8220;Part of the reason that you see all this foolishness on university campuses too is because people have bought this idiot meta-Marxism, which is that the way to look at every social relationship that people ever have is through the lens of power,&#8221; Peterson said.

&#8220;And we can put that squarely at the feet of the universities as far as I&#8217;m concerned — marriage is a patriarchal institution, and business is nothing but oppression, and you have to view every single situation that emerged historically as oppressor vs. oppressed,&#8221; the best-selling author continued. &#8220;And then once you get that, which you can get in about two minutes if you sit in a course that teaches that sort of thing, you have a lens to moralize about the whole world through.&#8221;
&#8220;And that&#8217;s at the hands of the radical Left too, Bill,&#8221; he told Maher.

Comedian and HBO host Bill Maher told former Democratic National Committee chair Donna Brazile that he couldn&#8217;t see President Joe Biden winning a second term in the White House.
Maher spoke with Brazile on Friday&#8217;s episode of &#8220;Real Time with Bill Maher&#8221; — and he argued that while he believed Biden was capable of doing the job for another four years, he did not think that the American people would elect him again because public perception was that he was &#8220;too old.&#8221;

Maher began with a comment from former President Barack Obama&#8217;s campaign strategist <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/former-obama-adviser-doubts-wisdom-of-biden-staying-in-2024-race" target="_blank" rel="noopener">David Axelrod</a>, who questioned the wisdom of Biden seeking a second term — and Biden&#8217;s response, which was reportedly to lash out at Axelrod and call him names.
&#8220;What do you think of prominent Democrats like David Axelrod calling for Biden to, quote, &#8216;get out or get going&#8217; … Did he say that? Get out or get going?&#8221; Maher said.
&#8220;I believe in a tweet or two and some stuff. Look, people think that Joe Biden is is is perhaps too old. They’re right,&#8221; Brazile conceded.
&#8220;Perhaps?&#8221; Maher prompted.
&#8220;Don’t spill the water or something might come out of it,&#8221; Brazile continued, adding, &#8220;You know, everyone ages differently.&#8221;
Maher agreed, but Brazile continued.
&#8220;You know so, Betty White lived to be 99. Mick Jagger is still twisting his a**,&#8221; she said.
&#8220;I have been the one making that case year after year here against ageism. I always said it’s a case by case basis but &#8230;&#8221; Maher agreed, with one caveat: But for that argument to have teeth at all, you also have to be the person who can go, Yeah, but this is the case.&#8221;
&#8220;And I’ve said it before. Do I think Joe Biden can do the job? Absolutely. I don’t think he can win the job. And that’s what I care about. He’s going to lose. Because the people think he’s too old. And perception is reality. I’m sorry,&#8221; he concluded.
Brazile wasn&#8217;t convinced, however, and she pointed out the fact that people had predicted Biden would lose before: &#8220;I do not count out Joe Biden.&#8221;

Liberal comedian <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/bill-maher" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bill Maher</a> said during his show this week that he believes President Joe Biden is too old to win re-election, even though he believes that he can do the job.
Maher made the remarks during HBO&#8217;s &#8220;Real Time&#8221; while speaking to former Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Donna Brazile about the upcoming presidential election.
Maher noted that Democratic strategist David Axelrod recently said that Biden should consider getting out the race because he might lose to whoever the Republican nominee is.
&#8220;What do you think of prominent Democrats like David Axelrod calling for Biden to, quote, &#8216;get out or get going&#8217;?&#8221; Maher asked. &#8220;Get out or get going?&#8221;

Liberal comedian <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/bill-maher" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bill Maher</a> slammed former President Barack Obama on Friday over his recent remarks whitewashing Hamas&#8217; terrorist attacks on Israel by creating a moral equivalency between the terrorist attack and Israel&#8217;s response.
Obama <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/obama-whitewashes-hamas-terrorism-nobodys-hands-are-clean-all-of-us-are-complicit-to-some-degree" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> during a podcast appearance that everyone was going to have to “admit” that “nobody’s hands are clean, that all of us are complicit to some degree.”
&#8220;I must say I am struggling with people’s moral equivalency, still,&#8221; Maher said. &#8220;I mean, Barack Obama, who has rarely disappointed me, did so this week. I mean, his statement. I mean, it’s not a horrible statement. But he said, if you want to solve the problem, then you have to take in the whole truth and then you have to admit nobody’s hands are clean.&#8221;
&#8220;There’s a big difference in collateral damage and what Hamas did,&#8221; Maher continued, adding that Israel was opening evacuation corridors every day for seven hours to help tens of thousands of Palestinians evacuate northern Gaza.
&#8220;So people say, &#8216;Oh, wow, big of them,&#8217; Okay. But it is a war that the other side started,&#8221; he said. &#8220;So interesting when they fire at Israel, it’s a war, and when Israel fires back, it’s a war crime. A little crazy. So &#8212; and also, would Hamas do that? Would they give [a] four hour pause? No. No pausing.&#8221;
Maher also applauded Israel for firing one of its ministers for suggesting that the country could use nuclear weapons in Gaza.
&#8220;And then Israel’s Heritage Minister was asked in an interview about using a nuke on Gaza, and he said that’s one of the possibilities,&#8221; he said. &#8220;He was fired, not allowed in the cabinet meeting anymore, disavowed by the prime minister. Would that happen in reverse? So enough with the moral equivalencies, please.&#8221;
Maher later mentioned that people were &#8220;forgetting&#8221; that Islamic fanaticism was part of what was going on because &#8220;you’re not supposed to talk about that anymore, because if you do, even how, no matter how realistic it is, it becomes Islamophobia.&#8221;

The conversation hinged on free speech on college campuses, and whether or not a comedian could perform anything truly funny without immediately being &#8220;canceled&#8221; by the woke mob — a question that Maher answered with a resounding &#8220;no.&#8221;
Tyson complained that Maher was effectively dismissing &#8220;an entire generation&#8221; out of hand, and argued that perhaps he should adjust his material and joke about topics that students found acceptable.
&#8220;So why is it their fault and not your fault?&#8221; he asked.

&#8220;You&#8217;re doing what parents do: You&#8217;re taking the path of least resistance, and therefore hurting the kids and yourself,&#8221; Maher continued. &#8220;Parents ruin both their lives. They ruin their f***ing spoiled kids&#8217; lives, and they ruin their own lives because the kids rule the roost. So that&#8217;s what you&#8217;re doing on a national level.&#8221;
Tyson pushed back, saying that his goal was to keep his audience so that he could continue to influence the younger generation on topics that were truly important — which was why he said that he tried to avoid the cultural &#8220;land mines&#8221; that could make that impossible.
&#8220;It&#8217;s not good enough to be right, you also have to be effective,&#8221; he said.
&#8220;It&#8217;s great that Maher calls him out. But Tyson isn&#8217;t just failing to confront wokeness; he&#8217;s actively promoting it,&#8221; Seth Dillon responded.

Liberal comedian <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/bill-maher" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bill Maher</a> laughed at California Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom this week for running what is widely viewed by many as a &#8220;shadow campaign&#8221; for president.
Maher made the remarks during his HBO show &#8220;Real Time&#8221; on Friday while talking with Rep. Dean Phillips (D-MN), who recently entered the Democratic presidential primary race against President Joe Biden.
&#8220;I endorsed the idea,&#8221; Maher told Phillips in reference to him entering the race to challenge Biden, &#8220;because I did an editorial a couple weeks ago calling [Biden] Ruth Bader Biden. And look, we both struggle with the same thing. We like Joe Biden, right? And we think he&#8217;s done a good job. Ruth Bader Ginsburg did a good job and did not know when to quit, and that&#8217;s why you&#8217;re here.&#8221;
&#8220;And it&#8217;s not like others are doing this in a — sort of a — shadow campaign,&#8221; Maher chuckled. &#8220;I mean, Gavin Newsom, our governor, seems to be all over the world.&#8221;
&#8220;You know, they&#8217;re going to the battleground states in the primary — they&#8217;re really doing it, but I feel like at least you are honest, and you&#8217;re saying, &#8216;No, I&#8217;m gonna do it.&#8217; Just do it.&#8221;
Phillips said that he tried to encourage Michigan Democratic Governor Gretchen Whitmer to primary Biden, but his attempts were unsuccessful.
&#8220;And she&#8217;s one of those who&#8217;s running a shadow campaign,&#8221; Maher fired back.
&#8220;Everybody&#8217;s waiting until 2028,&#8221; Phillips said. &#8220;And I&#8217;m making the contention to all of you tonight that I&#8217;m not sure that we will have a 2028 election in the way that we expect to happen if the inevitable happens and it is President Biden against Donald Trump. I mean, the numbers are astounding everybody. If we don&#8217;t start to acknowledge that — there&#8217;s this bizarre and very dangerous culture of silence in Washington, in certain political-industrial complex circles, that is dangerous — I mean, dangerous. And we&#8217;re putting blinders on. It&#8217;ll make 2016 look like a joyful year.&#8221;

Liberal comedian <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/bill-maher" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bill Maher</a> tore into woke leftists this week over their disdain for Israel, saying that Israel stands for everything that they are supposed to represent.
Maher made the remarks on Friday during his &#8220;new rule&#8221; segment on his HBO show &#8220;Real Time&#8221; while talking about the political Left&#8217;s anger toward Israel after Palestinian Islamic terrorists with Hamas murdered more than 1,400 Israelis last month.
&#8220;For all the progressives and academics who refer to Israel as an outpost of Western civilization like it&#8217;s a bad thing,&#8221; he began. &#8220;Please note, Western civilization is what gave the world pretty much every g****mn liberal precept that liberals are supposed to adore.&#8221;
&#8220;Individual liberties, scientific inquiry, rule of law, religious freedom, women&#8217;s rights, human rights, democracy, trial by jury, freedom of speech — please somebody stop us before we enlighten again,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;And since one can find all these concepts in today&#8217;s Israel and virtually nowhere else in the Middle East, if anything, the world would be a better place if it had more Israels.&#8221;
Maher mocked how leftists have been indoctrinated into reducing their world view into everything being about &#8220;victims or victimizers.&#8221;
&#8220;So Israel is lumped in as the toxic fruit of the victimizing West,&#8221; he said. &#8220;The irony being that all marginalized people live better today because of Western ideals, not in spite of them.&#8221;
&#8220;Yes, that&#8217;s how simple the woke are. It&#8217;s never about ideas,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;If it was, would they be cheering on Hamas for their liberation? Liberation to do what? More freely preside over a [territory] where there are no laws against sexual harassment, spousal rape, domestic violence, homophobia, honor killings, or child marriage? This is who liberals think you should stand with. Women there should be so lucky as to get colonized by anybody else. And for the record, the Jews didn&#8217;t colonize Israel or anywhere ever except maybe Boca Raton.&#8221;
&#8220;Gaza wasn&#8217;t seized by Israel like India or Kenya was by the British Empire,&#8221; he said. &#8220;And the partitioning of the region wasn&#8217;t decided by Jews, but by a vote of the United Nations in 1947, with everyone from Russia to Haiti voting for it, but apparently they don&#8217;t teach this [in] drag queen story hour anymore.&#8221;

Bill Maher Blasts Leftists For Hate Of Israel: 'World Would Be A Better Place If It Had More Israels'

Gaza

Bill Maher slammed the political Left for siding with the terrorist group Hamas while declaring that the people of Gaza would be grateful to get rid of the terrorist group.
“It’s just amazing to me that the American Left, so much of it, throws their lot in with people whose values I hope they don’t share, but let’s go through them, cause values and customs make a difference, okay?” Maher stated. “And the people of Gaza — and by the way, if the Israelis did get rid of Hamas, they&#8217;d be doing a giant favor to the people of Gaza, who hate Hamas, too.”
“Let’s go through the lists, because Israelis look like us in most ways, values-wise,” he pointed out, adding sardonically, “Maybe we’re not doing it the right way; I don’t know.”
“Religious tolerance: that doesn’t exist in Gaza,” he started. “You’re either a Muslim or an infidel, and you’d better be a Muslim. Female freedom. Free and fair elections. Free speech. Gay rights. I see these ‘Queers for Palestine’ — &#8220;
“Did you hear their sister organization, ‘Blacks for the KKK?’” guest James Kirchick interjected. “By the way; I’m a gay man; I’ve lived in Berlin. This is a level of masochism that even I cannot comprehend.”
“Can I just finish my list?” Maher asked. “Pedophilia: I’ll put that under ‘Don’t ask.’ Child brides and so forth. Equality of the sexes. I’ll categorize that under ‘Don’t make me f***ing laugh.’ The fact that these people think that this is where they should be aligned with? These are the values that you support?”

As far back as 2018, after former President Trump recognized Jerusalem as Israel’s capital, Maher <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/maher-trump-was-right-about-jerusalem-palestinians-hank-berrien">told his panel</a>, “I hate to agree with Donald Trump, but it doesn&#8217;t happen often, but I do.” Maher later said of the Palestinians, “What is making the essential thing that is making the two-state solution impossible is that one party is perpetually hostile, a coiled snake.”

‘These Are The Values That You Support?’: Bill Maher Slams Leftists Siding With Hamas

Leftists

Liberal HBO host Bill Maher defended Florida Governor <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/ron-desantis" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ron DeSantis</a> during an interview this week over a &#8220;despicable&#8221; hit piece that The New York Times wrote about how he managed the COVID-19 pandemic in the state.
DeSantis appeared on &#8220;Real Time&#8221; with Maher Friday evening where the two talked about DeSantis&#8217; record and his Republican presidential campaign.
&#8220;I&#8217;m fed up with woke, too,&#8221; Maher said. &#8220;That&#8217;s why I have trouble with friends in Hollywood. I&#8217;m an old school liberal, and that&#8217;s a whole different thing than woke. And I&#8217;m sympathetic to you because, you know, you very often, like, take on an issue where I feel like, yeah, there is crazy stuff going on in schools. There is crazy stuff.&#8221;
Maher mentioned, though, that the problem is that some people do not understand why it was important to take on Disney or fight wokeness in schools because they don&#8217;t actually see what is going on.
&#8220;This idea of ideology corrupting institutions, I see it in Los Angeles with the amount of crime that&#8217;s here and the homelessness,&#8221; DeSantis said. &#8220;There are people that commit crimes who are not prosecuted like they would be in Florida. Our state&#8217;s crime rate is at a 50-year low. You elect these people like Gascón and what they did in San Francisco. You can break into somebody&#8217;s house or mug somebody, and you don&#8217;t end up going to jail?&#8221;
&#8220;That doesn&#8217;t work, but that&#8217;s driven by ideology,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;So it&#8217;s not just we&#8217;re having just a philosophical debate. I think woke ideology has corrupted institutions. I think it&#8217;s corrupted things like the CDC with how they handled COVID with the nonsense that they did. So it&#8217;s a broader issue than just a philosophical fight.&#8221;

After DeSantis brought up how he fought against heavy-handed government restrictions during COVID, Maher responded, &#8220;You keep wanting to get back to that and I don&#8217;t blame you because you&#8217;re right.&#8221;
&#8220;We&#8217;re on the same page there. And I think it&#8217;s unfair what they did to you because you did handle it better,&#8221; Maher continued. &#8220;You did handle it better. You were right. You were like, let&#8217;s target the people, protect the people who are most vulnerable, and everybody else can go on with their lives a little better. You opened schools sooner. And a lot of the stuff that&#8217;s come in, the information we have after now we&#8217;ve had a few years to look at it, you were more right, and they won&#8217;t give you credit with it.&#8221;
Maher then specifically highlighted The New York Times&#8217; coverage. &#8220;I saw The New York Times with such a despicable hit piece on you &#8230; I forget what the lead headline was, but it was basically Ron DeSantis f***ed up the pandemic,&#8221; he said. &#8220;And then like, at the very end, it says Florida&#8217;s death rate, overall, is better than the national average. And if you&#8217;re going to do an article about Florida and the pandemic, shouldn&#8217;t that be the lead? Shouldn&#8217;t that be the headline — I mean, talk about burying the lead.&#8221;
DeSantis said that if he is elected president, he will &#8220;bring accountability&#8221; so that the government overreach that happened during the pandemic &#8220;never happens in our country again.&#8221;

Maher Slams ‘Despicable’ NYT COVID ‘Hit Piece’ On DeSantis: ‘You Did Handle It Better. You Were Right’

Ron DeSantis

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis slammed Bill Maher during an interview this week for bringing up how some members of the Republican Party have claimed that the 2020 presidential election was stolen, saying that many Democrats did the same thing in 2016.
DeSantis made the remarks during an appearance on &#8220;Real Time&#8221; Friday evening to discuss his record as governor and his Republican presidential campaign.
After discussing the recent GOP primary debate and former President Donald Trump, Maher brought up how DeSantis helped campaign for some Republicans who were so-called &#8220;election deniers.&#8221;
&#8220;This I do not forgive,&#8221; Maher said. &#8220;I mean, Kari Lake, who said Biden&#8217;s an illegitimate president. Trump didn&#8217;t —&#8221;
DeSantis fired back by noting that Lake has repeatedly attacked him since he announced his presidential campaign, despite praising him in the past, including making <a href="https://www.azcentral.com/story/opinion/op-ed/ej-montini/2023/09/27/kari-lake-roasted-telling-lies-ron-desantis-covid/70977955007/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">claims</a> that were false about how he managed the COVID-19 pandemic.
&#8220;Well now she&#8217;s attacking me, so maybe I did make a mistake there because she&#8217;s out there trying to say that we mandated vax in Florida,&#8221; DeSantis said. &#8220;We did the opposite. We protected people, even from private mandates, so that may have been —&#8221;
Maher pressed DeSantis on why he campaigned for Republicans who denied that Trump lost the election, to which DeSantis responded: &#8220;Because I wanted to see Republicans win key races.&#8221;
&#8220;That&#8217;s not a deal breaker issue for you?&#8221; Maher asked. &#8220;That&#8217;s not democracy?&#8221;

&#8220;Okay, well, let&#8217;s go back to 2016,&#8221; DeSantis responded. &#8220;Your friends in Hollywood were cutting ads telling the Electoral College to vote against Trump in the Electoral College because it was stolen. They said Russia stole the election; for years they said that, so don&#8217;t act like this is like a unique thing in modern history of the country.&#8221;

DeSantis Slams Maher Over Stolen Election Claims: ‘Don’t Act Like This Is A Unique Thing’

Longtime Democratic strategist <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/democratic-strategist-james-carville-wokeness-is-a-problem-for-democrats" target="_blank" rel="noopener">James Carville</a> and comedian <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/you-can-say-the-craziest-thing-bill-maher-says-no-one-is-canceled-for-being-too-woke" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bill Maher</a> were in complete agreement on one thing going into the 2024 presidential election: incumbent President Joe Biden should not be the Democratic nominee, especially if former President Donald Trump nabs the Republican nomination.
The two got together for Sunday&#8217;s episode of Maher&#8217;s &#8220;Club Random&#8221; podcast, and they both agreed that the Democratic Party&#8217;s best bet was to choose someone — anyone — who was a &#8220;50-ish, not stupid woke Democrat with a D by their name.&#8221;

&#8220;Let’s assume the election was November the third of this year and the candidates are Joe Biden, the Democrat, Donald Trump, the Republican, Joe Manchin and Larry Hogan, No Labels, and Cornel West. Trump would be a betting favorite,&#8221; Carville said. &#8220;If I told you I would give you even money, you would not take that bet. All right. And so somebody better wake the f*** up.&#8221;
Maher responded by saying that he believed Biden had done a decent job as president, but that he worried about whether or not he was up to the task of running again – especially against Trump.
&#8220;I might take even money. But you’re right. I’m totally on the same page,&#8221; he said. &#8220;In 2020, maybe he was the only one who could have beaten Trump, I think now he’s the only one who will lose to him.&#8221;
&#8220;He cannot run for president. He’ll look bad in the debates. It’s too much. And he’s — I think, going to lose,&#8221; Maher continued. &#8220;He will be Ruth Bader Biden, the Ruth Bader Ginsburg of the presidency. It’s not a good look. And any 50-ish, not stupid woke Democrat with a D by their name. People just vote D and R, that person can win.&#8221;
&#8220;Easily. If we had somebody under 60 and ran against Trump, we’d get 55%,&#8221; Carville agreed.

The western far Left is habitually the most stupid, naive people you can imagine. They come up with these really goofy constructs and it’s all about feeling good about yourself.&#8221;
&#8220;What happened is, overeducated, coastal white people, got ahold of the word, and [like] they do with everything else, they completely f***ed it up and pissed everybody in the country off. If we could just get the humanities faculty at Amherst [College] to shut the f*** up, we’d be a lot better off,&#8221; Carville added.

Maher made the announcement in a post on X, saying that he intended to honor the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/drew-barrymore-axed-as-awards-ceremony-host-after-her-talk-show-returns-amid-hollywood-strike" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ongoing strikes</a> in every way that he could — but that bringing his show back was the best way to put as many people as he could back to work.

&#8220;&#8216;Real Time&#8217; is coming back, unfortunately, sans writers or writing. It has been five months, and it is time to bring people back to work,&#8221; Maher began. &#8220;The writers have important issues that I sympathize with, and hope they are addressed to their satisfaction, but they are not the only people with issues, problems, and concerns.&#8221;
Maher went on to say that although he had stepped in to help his staffers, many were still having a rough go of things after being out of work for such a long time.
&#8220;Despite some assistance from me, much of the staff is struggling mightily. We all were hopeful this would come to an end after Labor Day, but that day has come and gone, and there still seems to be nothing happening,&#8221; Maher continued. &#8220;I love my writers, I am one of them, but I’m not prepared to lose an entire year and see so many below-the-line people suffer so much.&#8221;
Maher concluded by explaining that he intended to drop some of the scripted portions of the show in an effort to stand with the writers who continued to strike — and he conceded that, without his regular writers, the show would not likely be as good as it had been in the past.

&#8220;I will honor the spirit of the strike by not doing a monologue, desk piece, New Rules or editorial, the written pieces that I am so proud of on Real Time. And I’ll say it upfront to the audience: the show I will be doing without my writers will not be as good as our normal show, full stop,&#8221; he said. &#8220;But the heart of the show is an off-the-cuff panel discussion that aims to cut through the bullshit and predictable partisanship, and that will continue. The show will not disappoint.&#8221;
