"Real Time" host Bill Maher abruptly put his guest Dr. Phil in the hot seat on Friday for joining the Trump administrations ICE raids, which led to a tense exchange between the two personalities."Why are you going on these ICE raids?" Maher asked Dr. Phil. "I dont understand that."Maher continued: "Youre a guy who we know for so many years who has been working to put families together. To bring families who are apart and heal them. And now youre going on raids with people who are literally separating families."BILL MAHER CLASHES WITH LIBERAL ACTOR OVER TRUMP, IMMIGRATION POLICYThe former clinical psychologist pulled no figurative punches."Well, now thats bullsht," Dr. Phil countered, before launching into a comparison."Look, if you arrest somebody thats a citizen, that has committed a crime or is DUId with a child in the backseat, do you think they dont separate that family right then, right there?" Dr. Phil asked. "Of course they do!""But thats not whats going on," Maher argued.Moments earlier, Maher had introduced the topic as "another thing" President Donald Trump is doing as he is "doubling down on unpopular."DR. PHIL SAYS LEGACY MEDIA IS 'CREATING CRIMINALS' BY DISTORTING LA RIOT COVERAGEDr. Phil took an even further step back, addressing part of Mahers monologue where he had criticized masked ICE agents. He said the masks are a result of legislators "doxxing" officers."[Legislators are] putting their names, their pictures, their addresses of their families on the internet, theyre putting them on telephone poles," Dr. Phil noted. "So, of course, theyre wearing masks so they dont get outed, so people can do violence against their families."The former talk show host cited "files" he had seen to justify the ICE operations he has joined."Theyve got a rap sheet, 12, 14 different cases long of child predators that theyre taking off the street," Dr. Phil said. "These are the worst first that theyre taking off the streets. Who would want them back in their communities?"MSNBC CONTRIBUTOR CLAIMS 'DARK' TRUMP SUPPORTERS ENJOY WATCHING ICE ACT LIKE 'SLAVE CATCHERS'ESPN commentator Stephen A. Smith, who was also a guest on Maher's show Friday, found some common ground with Dr. Phil and admitted that he supports "closing the borders," but argued the administrations actions have not matched their words."When youre going to Home Depot, when youre going to peoples jobs, when youve been given authorization to enter churches and to enter other propertieswho they have been targeting has been different than whatthey originally advertised," Smith concluded.Maher echoed Smiths argument, adding ICE is going to places where people are "already working.""If you cant go to work because youre hiding, what other recourse is it for [illegal immigrants] except crime?" Maher asked.Dr. Phil has reportedly accompanied ICE two times first on the ground during Januarys Chicago raids and during the Los Angeles raids in June.
