"We are at war with so many people we're changing the name of the Department of Defense to the Department of War,"
"I'm not making that up."
"[Trump] said, 'It sends a message that we are fierce warriors.' And then he went back to his Twitter spat with Rosie O'Donnell."
"The two men discussed the concept of "norms" in politics, and Donald Trump's efforts to "flout that in public," which can lead to those norms fading away."
Bill Maher opened with a monologue about escalating conflicts and a proposed renaming of the Department of Defense to the Department of War. He mixed geopolitical commentary with pop-culture jabs, including a reference to a Twitter spat. Steven Pinker appeared to discuss Harvard funding constraints, earmarked endowments, and the concept of common knowledge, including currency value and related ideas from Yuval Noah Harari. The conversation addressed political norms and how public flouting by leaders can erode them. A panel with Kaitlan Collins and Stephen Moore covered economic policy, tariffs, and reactions to a weak jobs report.
