Welcome to an HBO podcast from the HBO late-night series Real Time with Bill Maugh.

Hi CNN, it's me Bill Maugh here with my panel from today's show, Actor Director and

Author of the Fourth Coming Book Easy Money Ben McKenzie is over here.

Democratic Congresswoman from California Katie Porter, and host of Talk to

the Navy's Care's Morgan Uncentric, Care's Morgan.

Yes, they were protesting because there was a shooting there.

Was it? This is state legislature.

And interrupt the proceedings, which of course when that happened on January the 6th,

in a much larger and more violent way, all the people currently cheering on the two Tennessee legislators,

were the ones who would have been condemning and castigating what happened.

You're not actually comparing that.

No, that's not the case.

Here's what I'm comparing.

When you have a mob of protesters and they're going into a legislative chamber,

And if you don't have the same principle response to both of those things,

regardless of the scale, then you're not principal.
