Michael references Sunday's daily smerconish.com poll question which asked, "Agree or disagree with Bill Maher: "A crazy person doesn't live in the White House. A person who plays a crazy person on TV a lot lives there."" Listen in for an interesting perspective on this dinner between Maher and Trump. How it all played out is not how many likely thought it would have. Original air date 14 April 2025.
