I assure you I have not. I\u2019m still the same unmarried, childless, pot-smoking libertine I always was. I have many flaws, but you can\u2019t accuse me of maturing.\u201d He asked what Maher would say to people who say they love him but that he\u2019s become \u201ccranky\u201d and \u201ccrotchety,\u201d that he has become one of those old guys who says \u201cthe kids are crazy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey\u2019re wrong, \u201c Maher responded bluntly. \u201cI mean, they\u2019re wrong and the kids are crazy. It\u2019s interesting, they have this idea the younger generation, maybe every generation does, that just because something is new makes it better and that\u2019s not true. New is not synonymous with better.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou\u2019re just sounding like an old-fashioned conservative,\u201d Zakaria accused.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI heard a couple of people say, or maybe they wrote it online that, well, I\u2019m a hypocrite because you were for the demonstrators in 1968 or whatever it was when they were demonstrating against the Vietnam War,\u201d Maher said. \u201cYes, that was very different. First of all, the students weren\u2019t against their own. These students were threatening other students. That didn\u2019t happen in the Vietnam War.\u00a0 And being against the Vietnam War made sense. It was a war that we probably should not have been in. \u2026 This is demonstrating and protesting for a terrorist group, I mean, Hamas is \u2013\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWell, to be fair, a lot of students \u2014 there were a lot of outside, you know, people have mixed together what students are doing, what outside protesters are doing,\u201d Zakaria interjected. \u201cBut let me ask you a broader question, which is, a lot of people will say, look, this is how you get change. You \u2014 it\u2019s noisy. Some people say the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/bill-barr-should-have-stepped-up-president-trump-goes-off-on-bill-barr-over-his-silence-on-hunter-biden-video\/\" title=\"\u201cBill Barr Should Have Stepped Up!\u201d \u2013 President Trump Goes Off on Bill Barr over His Silence on Hunter Biden (VIDEO)\">wrong thing<\/a>. Some people go too far. But the whole tradition of this kind of expansion of rights, it\u2019s messy, it\u2019s chaotic.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou know, yes, we\u2019re \u2014 you know, there\u2019s probably a bunch of excesses as there were probably was in the \u201960s,\u201d Zakaria continued. \u201cThere was the Black Panthers and the Weathermen and things like that. But they think of you as somebody who was, you know, you were okay with all that, but you\u2019ve turned.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI haven\u2019t turned,\u201d Maher answered. \u201cYes, people have said to me, you make fun of the Left more than you used to, and guilty. I have because the Left has changed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">He segued to attacking the Right and Donald Trump: \u201cNow, the Right has changed also, and even worse. I mean, the right doesn\u2019t believe in democracy anymore. I mean, they<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/major-league-baseball-cant-get-out-of-its-own-way\/\" title=\"Major League Baseball Can\u2019t Get Out Of Its Own Way\">\u2019ve thrown<\/a> their lot in with the sociopath named Donald Trump, who only thinks elections count when we win. Okay, well, that\u2019s worse.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut it\u2019s not like the Left hasn\u2019t changed also,\u201d he admitted. \u201cSo I\u2019m going to call it out wherever I see it. I mean, there are things that have to do with, you know, gender and race and free speech, and just ideas about, you know, you can be healthy at any weight and gender is always a social construct and maybe we should give communism another try and maybe we should get rid of capitalism and the Border Patrol. And let\u2019s tear down statues of Lincoln and get rid of the police. Just, you know, know, no. It\u2019s not that I\u2019ve gotten old, it\u2019s that your ideas are stupid.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><b><a href=\"https:\/\/onelink.to\/dwapp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" aria-describedby=\"sk-tooltip-9096\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/onelink.to\/dwapp&#038;source=gmail&#038;ust=1700760801843000&#038;usg=AOvVaw2PQrVSrJfhxNb4LcARqniG\">CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n<p>Maher spoke of former President Ronald Reagan: \u201cFamously, he used to have a drink at the end of the day, often, with Tip O\u2019Neill, who is the leader in the House and a Democrat. But they were just two Irish pals who get together and have a scotch at the end of the day. And they knew they weren\u2019t going to get along on many issues, but they didn\u2019t hate each other. They could drink together. That is inconceivable today. Can you imagine Joe Biden having a drink with Mike Johnson? It just would never happen. When you hate people, you don\u2019t listen to them. So, it doesn\u2019t matter how reasonable they might be.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have reached this place where each side thinks the other side is an existential threat. You hear that term from both sides all the time. That is just a terrible place to be.
