On Friday’s broadcast of HBO’s “Real Time,” host Bill Maher argued that even with prices being higher than they were, people are economically better off than they were four years ago, but President Joe Biden is “too feeble to be the explainer-in-chief, to get out there” and make a case for himself. Maher said, “The Washington Post says, ‘Nearly Everything Americans Believe About the Economy Is Wrong‘. So interesting, 55% think the economy is shrinking or is in a recession, could not be more the reverse, half think unemployment is at a 50-year high, it’s 4%. Roughly half think the...

CNN anchor Chris Wallace was stunned when comedian Bill Maher asserted that Donald Trump will probably win the 2024 election for president during Wallace’s little watched Max podcast Who’s Talking to Chris Wallace. During this week’s podcast, Maher insisted that Trump is running a tighter and more serious campaign than he did in 2016. Maher first indulged a conspiracy theory that was already proven false once, that if Donald Trump were to become president, he “won’t leave” office and will somehow declare himself a permanent president. Wallace pointed out that Maher said this in 2016 when Trump ran the first...

Bill Maher locked horns with the hosts of ABC’s “The View” on Tuesday, expressing how refusing to criticize President Biden risks sacrificing one’s integrity with their audience. “I’m nervous about saying anything against Biden, because I feel as though – not that I have so much power, and you have some more than I do, obviously – but are you afraid that you might, you know, influence the people who are on the fence?” co-host Joy Behar asked Maher. “I think you lose all credibility,” Maher replied. “I do. My bond with my audience has always been I don’t pull...

Comedian Bill Maher said Monday on CNN’s “AC360” that Republicans were “natural-born cultists” and former President Donald Trump is their “American Caesar.” Maher said, “The Republican Party is unrecognizable especially the congresspeople. They’re just there to do performative nonsense.” He continued, “People like Marjorie Taylor Greene, real mental midgets that they are not interested in legislation. They don’t know how it works. They’re not really interested in improving the country. They are just interested, as you said, in owning the libs, making liberals cry the tears and getting revenge, and also their cultish. They are natural-born cultists.”

On Friday’s broadcast of HBO’s “Real Time,” host Bill Maher reacted to President Joe Biden and 2024 Republican presidential candidate former President Donald Trump agreeing to two presidential debates by stating that the agreement to have the debates shows that Biden “knows he’s losing, because else he wouldn’t have agreed” to debate because “Only the loser wants to debate.” Maher also stated that Trump would want to debate regardless of how he was doing in the polls because “Trump always wants a crowd.”

On Friday’s broadcast of HBO’s “Real Time,” host Bill Maher reacted to the United Kingdom and Scandinavian nations walking back transitioning children by saying that America has tried to be so progressive, it’s actually behind the rest of the world and that the American medical establishment won’t make the same corrections other nations have because “They’re afraid.” Maher stated, “Let me add one more thing to our discussion there about rolling back some of the overexcesses in 2020…this is in the U.K., they are now pronouncing the United States as way behind. This is so, to me, symbolic of so...

On Friday’s broadcast of HBO’s “Real Time,” host Bill Maher reacted to New York Times Executive Editor Joe Kahn arguing that the paper shouldn’t be an instrument for the Biden campaign and only write negative stories about Republicans while writing solely positive stories about Biden by stating that this is what the paper does now. Maher said, “Now that I’m doing interviews…the big question that people are asking me, I see every interviewer ask the same question, which is like, you make fun of the left a lot more than you used to. Yes, I do, because they’re goofier and...

On Friday’s broadcast of HBO’s “Real Time,” host Bill Maher stated that President Joe Biden’s student loan plan is “my tax dollars” “supporting this Jew-hating” we’ve seen on college campuses after colleges jacked up tuitions. Maher said, “I’m so incensed about some of this stuff, because, when I read about the college loans…[the] Biden administration’s student debt cancellation will cost a combined 870 billion to 1.4 trillion. That’s a lot of debt forgiveness. Okay, so colleges constantly raise tuition, then the kids take out more loans, then the government comes by and pays those loans. Okay, so, my tax dollars...

On Friday’s broadcast of HBO’s “Real Time,” host Bill Maher said that many of the campus demonstrators don’t know what they’re talking about and “a lot of the problem” is schools teaching ridiculous classes like Harvard’s course on Taylor Swift. Former CNN host Don Lemon stated that “some of” the protesters are bigots, and “a lot of them don’t have the information needed because they’re getting their news from TikTok…and they don’t have the history of what’s going on.”

Comedian Bill Maher's "Kid 'N Prey" segment on Friday went viral on social media after he criticized the child entertainment industry. On Friday's episode of Real Time with Bill Maher, Maher reacted to the recently released documentary Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV, which exposed the sexual abuse and hostile work environment that child actors faced at the hands of adults at Nickelodeon. The comedian posted the segment from his show on X, formerly Twitter, on Friday night with the caption, "It turns out for pedophiles in Hollywood, 'It's A Small World After All.'" It has amassed...

his monologue from last night's Real Time with Bill Maher is the definition of a must-watch. The guy who came out pro-baby murder (in his own words) last week made it his mission this week to protect kids. This guy doesn't even like kids, but he sees what we've been pointing out for years. After the video, I'll summarize Maher's points. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oGtseVUw-_MGuys, this monologue has EVERYTHING! Like, I think he may have stumbled across Not the Bee before putting this monologue together. Maher goes through the recent Quiet on Set documentary, highlighting sexual abuse that happened at Nickelodeon. Something that's...

Bill Maher has hit out at Hollywood for putting kids at risk and called Disney an aphrodisiac for pedophiles. The HBO host, 68, used his show Real Time with Bill Maher to talk about child safety and insisted it is 'every adult's job to protect them.'

On Friday’s broadcast of HBO’s “Real Time,” host Bill Maher predicted that this year’s Democratic National Convention in Chicago will be a repeat of the chaotic 1968 Democratic National Convention, which was also held in Chicago, because there will be large numbers of protesters whose “new cause” is “Hamas, to be on their side.” Maher said, “I was twelve years old, when they had it in 1968 in Chicago. It was like my baptism into politics, like, wow, this is kind of interesting shit going on on TV, and I know this is politics — but because there [were] hippies...

Most of the time it is too hard to see the line between ignorance and idiocy, but then most of the time no one is looking for it. What would we see if we began to look for the subtle difference? It will take you by surprise. A perfect example of late, is the idea of a New York judge who thinks he can hold Donald Trump back from attending his son’s graduation ceremony.

On Friday’s broadcast of HBO’s “Real Time,” host Bill Maher said that it’s wrong to argue that pro-life people are sexist, and pro-lifers believe abortion is “murder, and it kind of is. I’m just okay with that. I am. There [are] 8 billion people in the world, I’m sorry, we won’t miss you. That’s my position on that.” Provost of King’s College, Cambridge and Financial Times columnist Gillian Tett said that it’s odd that abortion is such a big political issue when there are other issues.

A Wyoming teenager is being hailed as a hero after he was stabbed to death outside a shopping mall, reportedly while protecting his girlfriend.

During his closing monologue on Friday’s broadcast of HBO’s “Real Time,” host Bill Maher argued that America is better off than it was four years ago because we’re not in the middle of the time “when COVID hit and America wet itself, emptied its pockets, and curled up in a ball” by overreacting to the coronavirus pandemic.

Bill Maher says he’s committed to ensuring that former President Trump doesn’t return to the Oval Office. “I’ll do everything I can to make sure that doesn’t happen, but none of us have much influence,” the HBO “Real Time” host said of Trump winning his rematch against President Biden, in an interview with Variety that published Wednesday. “What I have decided to do is not preemptively give up my nervous system to Donald Trump like I did last time, or maybe the last two times,” Maher, 68, said. “If he wins, he wins,” he added. “The country is polarized. It’s...

On Friday’s broadcast of HBO’s “Real Time,” host Bill Maher stated that while food prices have gone up significantly under President Joe Biden, 2024 Republican presidential candidate former President Trump is doing better among younger voters because he lies and “when you don’t know anything, you can’t compare it to what’s said.” And “we were just kind of lucky for 20 years, and there wasn’t much inflation. So, maybe you’ve never lived in a time when there was inflation. So, you think, oh, Trump, no inflation, Biden, inflation, me vote Trump.”

During the closing monologue of Friday’s broadcast of HBO’s “Real Time,” host Bill Maher stated that while “inflation persists for a lot of things,” “Biden’s ratings are in the toilet, not because he’s doing such a bad job, but because a lot of Americans like to live with their head in the toilet” of poor perceptions about mental health. Maher began by saying, “[N]ew rule: Being obsessed with your mental health is bad for your mental health.” He continued, “I’ve been thinking a lot lately about a puzzle many are struggling with, why are Biden’s approval ratings so low when...
