Bill Maher and Michael Douglas finally discuss their thoughts on the 2024 election results, in which Donald Trump defeated Kamala Harris.
The host opened the latest show with his opening monologue, saying, “A lot of people are restless. You know what? I opened the window today, the sun was still shining, the birds were still singing, my The gardener was packing for Mexico, that’s the point.
“I didn’t vote for the winner,” he continued. “We’ll see what the winners do, now that they’ve won. Now they have reality to deal with, you know. We’ll see what they do, see if they keep their word. Trump says he’s going to deport 12 million people, and he said, ‘I’m way ahead of you.’ Why have I left so many holes in the wall?
The comedian added, “For months, Democrats have been saying, ‘How is this even close?’ And they’re right, they couldn’t imagine a second Trump term, but they should. When does America turn down seconds?
Maher later brought on his first guest, Douglas, who expressed his disappointment over the results of the presidential election but also shared a positive moment from the week amid the chaos.
“The other thing I just have to share, Tuesday night, after Wednesday morning, [I’m] There’s a lot of anger at this razor-thin race,” said the Oscar winner. “It was going to be so close, with all those polls … and it’s a wipeout. I had no idea how it could happen. So, I go golf on Wednesday mornings to clear my mind. I Go play nine holes, and I get a hole.
Elsewhere during his conversation, the actor also brought up inflation and the death of the middle class, telling Maher, “The reality now is that we can talk about the Republicans being the party of the people, and We are this elitist party on the left, the Democrats, are wild.
Earlier this year, Douglas portrayed Benjamin Franklin in the Apple TV+ miniseries. He also produced and appeared in a documentary film, which sheds light on the country’s economic divide.
