Late-night host Bill Maher and daytime host Dr. Phil McGraw got into a heated exchange after the TV doctor refused to say that former President Trump is worse than President Biden.
On Sunday’s installment of Maher’s “Club Random” podcast, McGraw teased his upcoming project as his long-running syndicated talk show ends later this year, telling Maher he intends to tackle “concerns” facing the country since its “headed for a cliff.”

Maher took pause at how McGraw referred to Trump and Biden “in the same breath,” individuals he stressed are “very different people.”
“And one of them is much more of a threat to the republic that would be the 45th, would you not agree?” Maher asked. “C’mon, a threat to the republic Joe Biden? No. Joe Biden is a return to normalcy yet a Democrat who is yes, too much ensorcelled by his fringe left. He will not ever tell them to sit down and shut up. But I will take that bargain, [as] much as I don’t like it, and it’s bitter, I will take that bargain over Trump. Come on.”

While Maher and McGraw bonded broadly over the culture war issues, the HBO host went back to their disagreement about how they view the current and former presidents.
“Trump- you gotta, like, be on the page that he’s worse than Joe Biden. He’s very different than Joe Biden. Come on, doc,” Maher exclaimed.

C’mon, man! I can’t imagine Dr. Phil being a Trump supporter.
Cash me ouside how bout dat
I knew people who knew Maher when he was frequenting the Playboy mansion. The ladies who really “knew” Maher called him “Little Bill” behind his back.
Trump exposes everyone for exactly who they are. The Conservative Maher was just an act to sell tickets.
I thought Maher was waking up, I guess not.
I saw Dr. Phil on Joe Rogan a while back and was quite impressed. I thought he was just a trashy daytime talk show host, but the guy seemed pretty intelligent and upstanding. I was surprised. seems like an ok guy.
He’ll say whatever he needs to say to get his name in the news. Liberal or conservative, he doesn’t care.
Dr. Phil is a conservative. One of his drinking and vacationing buddies is Ron White.
Media and the culture could do without both of them.
Trump is Maher’s irrational spot... happens.
Same here. Maher is a loud mouth unfunny creep who is a liberal through and through.
