ng too far and that it's just gonna be a problem. So in other words even Bill Maher is saying this whole Hitler comparison, Holocaust, concentration camp thing, you're just shooting yourselves in the foot. It's not hurting Trump. It's not rational. We don't have, nobody has a better idea about what to do there. So in a way you saw a Bill Maher not directly certainly not directly but feeling himself pulled toward the Trumpian way of thinking grudgingly. And by that I mean the image, the problem that the border is a real problem that nobody has a good real solution to. And I think he sees that right? He must see that the Democrats all they have is calling it Hitler stuff but they're not offering anything better and that that's not a solution for success.

So watching Bill Maher talk about that and then looking at the things he has left to criticize Trump they start looking just personal. You know I think they do have some personal history that wasn't good. So what's left seems like jokes and exaggerations and hyperbole but it doesn't look that on policy there's that much of a difference anymore. Still a difference but the difference went from it looked like Trump is a monster who's going to destroy the world to something more narrow.

Do not be surprised if Bill Maher actually ends up, I'm not going to predict this so this is not a prediction but I'll say don't be surprised, there's a nonzero chance that Bill Maher could support Trump in the election against whoever he's running against. Depends who he's running against of course but I can see it happening. I would give it a solid, I'm gonna give it a 20% chance. I'll give it a 20% chance that Bill Maher will say damn it I still believe everything I've said about this president. I still believe all of this is suboptimal. I still believe it has all these problems. You know I'm not ignoring them all. I still want to do more with climate change. I still have all these problems but he's still better than the alternative. I could, there's a 20% chance he's gonna say that. And other people as well I think.

All right let's take a call just because I said I would. Let's go to the callers and I do a favor, people who have some kind of a profile picture, the blank ones. Hello caller.

Hello do you have a question for me?

Yeah I wanted to talk to you about the socialism versus capitalism thing and okay I think there's a reframing of that that will make it a lot more persuasive. Cuz I remember you saying that the socialism versus capitalism thing it's not persuasive the way that argument is not persuading anyone and I agree with you. You have to I think you have to reframe it as monopolies versus decentrali
