patrick, when you listened to it, what was bill maher thinking? >> i think he was, you know, trying to rif off of what ben sass was saying, but it was a huge misjudgment. bill maher prides himself on basically having no self-editing filter. he had a show for years that was called "politically incorrect" that from his point of view gave him license to say things that might shock and appall. but he saw himself as an equal offender. more recently, he's had on guests from the right, from the far right, who are people who really are -- who have said very despicable things, but he sort of takes it as a point of pride. i'm not here to explain bill maher being an pol gist, but it was shocking and political. ben sass from nebraska said he cringed when he saw this. he's getting a lot of blowback from people who can look at the video and not seeing ben sass cringing right now. >> let me read you his apology. he just put out a statement. friday nights are always my worst night of sleep because i'm reflecting on the things i should or shouldn't have said on my

i think what bill maher did is absolutely reprehensible.ke himself would do and say something like that. i don't know. if he thinks he's above it and isn't going to be held accountable, that's really sad. >> juan: i agree. jesse, what do you make of the fact that this comes on the heels of kathy griffin? it seems like the provocateurs are running wild. >> jesse: i think the left and the media have become the ones that are deplorable's. they warned everybody else against them. when it comes to offensive speech, it seems like liberals don't really care what is said, it only matters who says it. if it's a conservative says anything close to this, they would be off the air in a second. he's not really paying a price for this. i guess if you are bill maher, you are allowed to say that word on hbo and not get in trouble for it. i also haven't seen a lot of other people stand up and really condemn him that strongly. they did with kathy griffin. i respect that. i didn't hear anything about bill maher. >> juan: al franken, a senator from minnesota,

this is very troubling for bill maher.of comedy and more importantly to race relations. bill maher was deeply uncomfortable at some of the conversations he was hearing on his own show. >> if you think -- or do you think that if he had been perhaps a conservative commentator he would still have a show? >> well, he's not suspended. you know, he continues on his program. he is certainly a -- we should be clear. he's an anti-trump liberal. >> right. >> and symone was saying n he's an ally in terms of the progressive movement in the country. if anybody said what maher said in the context, almost randomly -- he was reacting to a guest saying coming to nebraska -- >> he made an obscure remark. >> that's what causes maher to say the n-word. he said this happened very suddenly. he said "the comic mind goes to a weird time at times." he's essentially saying comediennes are weird people. they're going for laughs at any expense and he went too far. why he thought it might be funny is a separate matter. my point is the context is cruci
