First the obvious disclaimer. Maher was there to hawk a book, and not give any indication of changing ideological teams.  Quite a price to land him for the show.  GG allowed him an entire block to allow him to discuss.  Still,  this is the biggest high profile guest he's landed. 

I think the intent was showing that there is a lot of agreement, if we forego and tone down the rhetoric.  Show did try to focus on agreeing, rather than red meat that Gutfeld throws to the crowd.  Common ground. seemed the theme.

Mahner did go into his Trump insurrectionist rant. He also made a point that it was important to differentiate Liberalism and "Woke".  He seems to think that the two really need to be decoupled.     

Over all, minimal friction.   And I for one, have always thought that Maher was 75% reasonable, and a TV political pundit that is a rare rational Liberal.  Disagree with him 95% of the time,  still, he often provides an interesting take to the counter POV.

Thank you!

Folks, there's a completely different way to handle the unionized and civil service appointees.

A way I'm absolutely sure that NONE of you would have ever thought of.

It's possible to render EVERY federal agency toothless in the matter of a week. To render them ineffective, without having to fire anybody (other than those who "serve at the pleasure of the president".

Y'all -- every one of you -- can only see the "obvious in front of you".
(That includes almost every [so-called] conservative writer and pundit.)

You've got to approach this from a completely different perspective, almost as if it were "through the looking glass".

You'll call "my plan" preposterous, but it's very simple (I'm a simple kind of guy).

Closing questions:
Which of the following is more destructive to America today:
- the fact that we have so many agencies and government employees,
or...
- the jobs that they do each day at work?

If you can sort that out, the answer will be plain as day in front of you.
