You are just too deplorable even to break bread with that really gets them. And I don\u2019t blame the feeling, the feeling they have about that, you know, talk to them there, as I always say, everybody\u2019s a monster till you talk to them.<\/p>\n<p>STEVE INSKEEP: Is there anybody you wouldn\u2019t talk to?<\/p>\n<p>BILL MAHER: Of course. That Fuentes prick.<\/p>\n<p>STEVE INSKEEP: (LAUGHS).<\/p>\n<p>BILL MAHER: People like that, like actua\u2013.<\/p>\n<p>STEVE INSKEEP: Nick Fuentes. Yeah. Who\u2019s an activist or whatever.<\/p>\n<p>BILL MAHER: He\u2019s a Nazi, he\u2019s, you know, plain, I mean, look, nowadays everybody\u2019s crazily anti-Israel, but that guy is, you now, when they say Trump is Hitler, such a dumb thing to say. First of all, counterproductive. Also, he is not Hitler!<\/p>\n<p>But this Fuentes kid? That\u2019s Hitler.<\/p>\n<p>STEVE INSKEEP: As I read that thing about Greg Gutfeld, I was thinking about whether you would ever do that yourself, have a recreational belief.<\/p>\n<p>BILL MAHER: Totally not. That\u2019s exactly the opposite of me and why my audience stays with me.<\/p>\n<p>STEVE INSKEEP: It\u2019s your goal to be who you are and say what you think.<\/p>\n<p>BILL MAHER: Yeah, the poster we put up says he\u2019s not in it for the likes and that\u2019s why they like me. It\u2019s a great irony of my career.
