or Booker is the one who escorted him in because it seems like Booker was probably just at the podium most of the time. Or somebody else did. But I think it was reported as a member of Congress led him in and led him around the screening. Why does anybody get to go around the screening? If you're the security person and a member of Congress says, "Oh, this is somebody I know really well. We're going to let him go around the screening." I would say to you, "Isn't that the most dangerous person who came to the building, the one who has somebody who's going to take him around the screening? Why would you ever let anybody do that?"

So first of all, I'd probably fire the security people for allowing a member of Congress to take anybody around the screening, especially when you find out later they have a gun. Now, apparently there was nothing dangerous about it, but I mean, he wasn't threatening anybody or anything like that, but that's just crazy.

Now, do you think that's bigger or is that a worse problem than Mike Waltz fat-fingering? Probably. We don't know the exact story, but however, he invited Jeffrey Goldberg accidentally and then he saw some plans for the attack, which they don't call plans for the attack. I don't know. I think these are both nothings. You know, they both led to nothing. Nobody got hurt. Could have been a problem, but wasn't. So I'm going to treat this, you know, the friend who brought a gun in. I'm going to treat this the same as the Mike Waltz thing. I don't really think, even if Booker is the one who took him around the security, we don't know that, but even if he is, I don't think Booker should be resigning. I don't think Mike Waltz should be resigning. These are just tiny little human problems. They were dumb. I'm not defending any of it, but not the biggest problem in the world.

Well, meanwhile, CNN and Harry has some new numbers that are bad for Democrats. So according to a new poll, Quinnipiac, Democrats opinion of their own, well actually the entire voters' opinion of Democrats in Congress is 21% approval. Now this is Democrats in Congress. So it's not about the party of Democrats, just the ones who are elected in Congress. And only 40% of Democrats approve of their own bunch of Congress people. It's the lowest approval on record for Quinnipiac.

So even though the Democrats had a good day yesterday in Wisconsin so they can do their little reapportionment scheme, they're not doing so well. By the way, there were also some elections in Florida, some special elections, and the Republicans both won, but not by as much as people thought they would. So it kind of, everything is sort of suggesting all the special elections are sort of suggesting that the Republicans have some weakness whenever Trump is not on the ticket. So that could be a bad signal coming up.

All right. So yesterday I didn't know during the show that Bill Maher had already had dinner with Trump at the White House. And there's a little bit of feedback. I think Bill Maher is going to talk about it on Friday on his show. That will be interesting. But the dinner was Bill Maher, Trump, Kid Rock who set it up, and Dana White who was just there because he's a good dinner date I guess. And I was thinking to myself, how could that not be fun? I mean, just think about it. Bill Maher, Trump, Kid Rock, Dana White. There was no chance that that could be anything but a good time.

But here are the little bit of stories we've heard from it. We'll hear more. I think I heard this on Gutfeld that Bill Maher brought with him a list of insults Trump had said about Bill Maher over the years and handed it to him. So what do you think Trump did with it? The list of insults that Trump had used against Bill Maher. What's the funniest thing that Trump could do? He autographed it and gave it back. He signed it. Now, how much do you love that? And how disarming is that?

So you're Bill Maher and you're coming in with, okay, these are all the things you said about me, which in itself was kind of a humorous thing to do. But I think Trump topped him by signing it, especially if he hadn't been asked to sign it. It's funnier if Bill Maher didn't ask him to sign it and he just said, "Give me a pen." Oh, that was funny. But apparently a good time was had by all. They got along and there was a little guided tour of the White House and even the private residence. That's the good stuff. People don't get to usually see that.

And then we learned that Bill Maher, the Democrat that he's been forever, has never been to the White House. Even I've been to the White House. There's so many podcasters and Republicans of all kinds who have been invited to the White House generally because the president wants to make sure you're on board and just work the crowd a little bit but Bill Maher never been invited. But here's the kill shot. Now we might hear more about this but this is what we know so far. That apparently during dinner Trump asked Bill Maher about Maher's opinion about Iran and Israel and the Middle East.

Now, what I was looking for was the kill shot. The kill shot is where Trump, who has crazy charisma, he can turn to anybody in person. Like, you cannot dislike him in person. It would just be so hard because in person, I mean, he just glows. I had the experience. You just want to be talking to him and he never runs out of things to say. He always gives you full attention and treats you like you're the only person in the room.

But here's the kill shot. Imagine being Bill Maher and you think of yourself as basically a well-informed political comedian and then the most powerful and important person maybe in the world, the president of the United States looks at you and says, "What do you think I should do about the Middle East?" And you might actually have some ideas because you've been thinking about i
