EXCERPT:

SWISHER: "You know, in the back of the book, instead — you know, you do blurbs on the back of the book. I put all the insults they had, like Elon, 'You’re an asshole.'

(Laughter and Applause)
MAHER: "He's a complicated guy."
SWISHER: "Oh, okay. Sure, why not?"

SWISHER: "He’s just not a complicated guy. He's just a jerk. But go ahead."
MAHER: "Okay. Well, you know what — "
(Applause)
SWISHER: "Go ahead. He is complicated. But so are you. So am I."
MAHER: "Okay, well, now you just debated with yourself and agreed with me.”
