That\u2019s never where liberalism was. It was about being a colorblind society. So a new national anthem, fine. I\u2019ll go for that.

And you feel\u2013<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>MAHER: There\u2019s no argument there. I said, first of all, I said, maybe we should get rid of the anthem we have.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>KIMMEL: Because it\u2019s not inclusive of everyone?<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>MAHER: Well, whatever. I just said we shouldn\u2019t have two national anthems. We\u2019re one country. It\u2019s not a good idea. We\u2019ve seen what happens in other countries where you have, you know, when you separate things out, that\u2019s never where America was. That\u2019s never where liberalism was. It was about being a colorblind society. So a new national anthem, fine. I\u2019ll go for that. But not two, because that leads down a road we don\u2019t want to go.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>KIMMEL: Hey, there\u2019s a lot of fear in the air. In general, you don\u2019t want to be caught applauding something that might be controversial.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>MAHER: I could a f**k.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>KIMMEL: Do you think we\u2019re ever going, if there\u2019s ever gonna be a time or do you think it\u2019s possible even that we can come together? <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>MAHER: Well, I, you know, that\u2019s a great question. And to me, one of the keys to that is to stop talking about it. Stop talking politics. When I was a kid, you may remember the same thing, people didn\u2019t talk politics all the time. There was no Facebook. You know, Facebook should go back to being what it should be, humblebrags, cat videos, finding out who from high school is gay, fatter, dead. But instead, it\u2019s people arguing with some kid you went to third grade with about Brett Kavanaugh. You want to know how to heal America? Shut up. Shut the hell up. Stop talking politics all the time. Stop trying to convince people, it\u2019s a big country with lots of people who don\u2019t think like you and no matter what side you\u2019re on, and you\u2019re not going to convince them, just accept it like you do in a relationship. No, really. You\u2019re married, right? [Crosstalk] You must must know the three most important words in a relationship are not \u201cI love you,\u201d they\u2019re \u201clet it go.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><i><span>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
