Bill Maher is scoffing at the far left for slamming him over his visit to the White House ... to paraphrase Mark Antony, he feels he should not be buried, he should be praised!

00:01I should be a hero.
00:02That's Bill Maher on the Two Angry Men podcast
00:05getting, well, angry at being skewered for telling the truth
00:09about his dinner with Donald Trump.
00:11He's a lot more self-aware than he is in public.
00:15We want the truth. We're thirsty for truth.
00:17I told you the truth.
00:18But Bill says,
00:19You can't handle the truth!
00:21Well, some of you.
00:22It's really only the 10% of the far, far left
00:26who hated me before this.
00:28They wanted to hear that he was the same monster
00:30that they see in public.
00:32And he wasn't.
00:33But it's also sort of irrelevant, right?
00:35Because what's relevant is what he's doing to the country.
00:38It isn't.
00:39If he were really crazy as, you know, in private,
00:43then there is no hope of even talking to him.
00:46Do I have great hopes that saying anything to him
00:51is going to change anything?
00:53No, but you have to try.
00:55I'm proud that I was able to go into the White House
00:58and say to the President of the United States,
01:00look him in the eye and say,
01:01You're scaring people.
01:03Fear is his main goal.
01:05And Bill Maher is humanizing this strong man.
01:08Should he not have gone?
01:09I had the opportunity to talk to Donald Trump
01:12and say the things to him that maybe he never hears.
01:16Literally to speak truth to power.
01:19I shouldn't take that opportunity.
01:21If you're giving access to the President,
01:22no matter who you are,
01:23you should take that access to the President.
01:24And just because you don't agree with him, what?
01:26You're not supposed to talk to him?
01:27Then what's that going to solve?
01:28Any running back will tell you.
01:29Half a second, if the hole opens up,
01:31you've got to run through it.
01:32I'm going to keep trying to find a hole,
01:37no matter where it might be.
01:39And the 10%, I assume, will just keep being .
01:44Yeah, they can't, they can't.
01:46That's a hole.
01:48So, thanks for making us think, Bill, about .
