Since the start of your new season, you have had other guests like Tomi Lahren and Piers Morgan not nearly as provocative, but with whom liberal viewers arent likely to agree. Are you trying to create conflict on your panels, or rile up your audience?
Ive never tried to push anybodys buttons. I think everybody else in TV everybody else who does political commentary in a comedic way theyre all in one box. Its so predictable, what theyre going to do, which is, never say anything that would make anything that would make any liberal give the slightest bit of discomfort. I do a show about whats happening that week in the news. Trump is president. Im glad that we have enough credibility with both sides, that people who are Trump supporters will still do the show.
Going back to Politically Incorrect, you booked conservatives like Ann Coulter and Kellyanne Conway
And Laura Ingraham. We had a whole cadre of blond conservatives. There was a fourth woman conservative we used to book in those days, who we kind of discovered her name was Arianna Huffington.
Even after your experience with Milo, do you still want to have guests your viewers havent encountered or might want to avoid?
Yes. I like people who push the limits. I like people who are not afraid to take the slings and arrows, because theyre going to explore whats on the edge. Now, is this guy over the edge? Yes. I mean, hes a little cuckoo. But I would rather err on that side than on the side where everybody else is.
