On Real Time HBO, host Bill Maher made crude incest jokes about President Donald Trump and his daughter Ivanka, and, a bit later, got into a heated debate with former liberal CNN host Piers Morgan about whether there has been a substantial increase in violent crime over the past couple of years as the liberal comedian cited a chart that only included crime through 2015 and omitted the most recent figures.
Maher further demonstrated his show's difficulty in providing accurate information to viewers as Morgan also called him out for criticizing the recent attack on a terrorist target in Yemen as a failure when, in fact, 12 al-Qaeda operatives (the Pentagon says 14) were killed.
Five minutes into the opening monologue, Maher went tasteless in his attacks on the Trump family. Introducing the story of Nordstrom's discontinuing its business relationship with Ivanka Trump, Maher began: "Now, if you didn't know about this, Donald Trump's 'daughter wife' Ivanka -- she had a clothing line which was dropped by department stores, including Nordstrom. Of course Trump went ape s*** on Twitter about this."
He then added: "You know what, of all the people, Mr. Businessman, he should understand, they dropped it because the merchandise just wasn't moving. The only one interested in getting into Ivanka's pants is him."
At 10:31 p.m. ET, during the panel discussion, the HBO host accused Trump of lying about crime being at its worst in decades, but then incorrectly claimed that it was at its lowest level ever. Among the all-liberal panel members, it was left to Morgan to correct Maher on both the Yemen raid and on the recent increases in violent crime. Morgan injected: "Why have you left out the fact that they killed 12 al-Qaeda operatives? Is that not significant?"
Maher cluelessly responded: "They killed 12 al-Qaeda operatives?"

DONATE Morgan pushed back: "They did. Why have you left that out?"
The HBO liberal then tried to brush off the correction:
MAHER: Probably because they were eight years old.
MORGAN: No. Because it sounds better to just say --- they weren't, though. That's not true.
The former CNN host then turned his attention to the crime statistics and Maher's use of an outdated chart:
And my point about the crime figures is -- what is true is, the crime figures in 2015 rose by the highest spike since '71. The figures for 2016 are for serious murder and gun-related crime are also likely to rise by a similar amount. I think everyone should be worried about the massive spike in crime.
Maher then started throwing a tantrum as the two went back and forth:
Ad Feedback MAHER: There isn't a massive spike in crime! Now, you are crazy because we just saw the chart! Look at the chart. Put the chart up. Put the chart up. Look where it was, look where it is, look at the little-
MORGAN: 2015, the highest spike in crime -- serious crime -- in this country since 1971.
MAHER: Look at the chart. Look where it was. Look where it is.
MORGAN: Look at the last two years, Bill.
MAHER: Oh, for f***'s sake.
Below is a transcript of relevant portions of the Friday, February 10, Real Time with Bill Maher on HBO:
BILL MAHER: Now, if you didn't know about this, Donald Trump's "daughter wife" Ivanka (pauses for audience laughter) she had a clothing line which was dropped by department stores, including Nordstrom. Of course Trump went ape s*** on Twitter about this. You know what, of all the people, Mr. Businessman, he should understand, they dropped it because the merchandise just wasn't moving. The only one interested in getting into Ivanka's pants is him.
(...)
MAHER: Let's do our list of lies. He said this week the murder rate is highest it's been. It's actually the lowest it's been.
(...)
MAHER: Jeff Sessions -- our new Attorney General -- said about crime, "I wish the rise we're seeing in crime was some sort of aberration or blip." Which it exactly is! Show the chart. There's a chart that we see of crime. Okay, but Jeff Sessions says no, "But my best judgment is this is a dangerous permanent trend." (Piers Morgan starts to speak) Wait a second.
PIERS MORGAN: -(inaudible) explain the context about it.
MAHER: Then, you have Sean Spicer saying the Yemen raid -- which was a giant, dismal failure -- we didn't get the guy were were going after who is now gloating and talking about the "fool" in the White House. We killed children and women. They knew we were coming. It was not a success. But he's saying, because Trump's says it's a success, we all-
MORGAN: Why have you left out the fact that they killed 12 al-Qaeda operatives? Is that not significant?
MAHER: They killed 12 al-Qaeda operatives?
MORGAN: They did.
MAHER: Yeah?
MORGAN: Why have you left that out?
MAHER: Probably because they were eight years old.
MORGAN: No. Because it sounds better to just say --- they weren't, though. That's not true.
MORGAN: And my point about the crime figures is -- what is true is, the crime figures in 2015 rose by the highest spike since '71. The figures for 2016 are for serious murder and gun-related crime are also likely to rise by a similar amount. I think everyone should be worried about the massive spike in crime.
MAHER: There isn't a massive spike in crime! Now, you are crazy because we just saw the chart! Look at the chart. Put the chart up. Put the chart up. Look where it was, look where it is, look at the little-
MORGAN: 2015, the highest spike in crime -- serious crime -- in this country since 1971.
MAHER: Look at the chart. Look where it was. Look where it is.
MORGAN: Look at the last two years, Bill.
MAHER: Oh, for f***'s sake.
Liberals are unhinged. They are obsessed with Ivanka. They are so jealous. She is pretty, has kids she loves, and a husband that loves the family. Democrats have Lena Dunham and abort their kids or adopt fashion accessories from Mali. I will enjoy the constant melt downs for the next 8 years.
Reading Maher transcripts to gain knowledge, is less likely to to be productive than reading used toilet paper.
From the later, you might actually gleen some helpful medical hints from it.
What a classless POS.
Facts cause liberal heads to short circuit. A bit like a 20amp fuse with 100 amps running through it.
So Bill doesn’t like the operation Obama set up and approved, doesn’t approve of the Navy Seals, and ridicules the operation that was probably leaked to the enemy from Obama people? I hope one day a team meets up with the f&$k.
The Left knows not a single thing about decent family values, and always projects their incestuous desires on others.
Maher’s show is reason enough to say “no” to HBO.
Game of thrones can be streamed elsewhere.
“Game of thrones can be streamed elsewhere.”
Well, typical of HBO they screwed up game of thrones with PC crap. By the end of this season every kingdom was run by women, as if.
Why do people still watch this moron? How many watch per period?
Liberals don’t stand for America and freedom....if you don’t agree with a Lib, there is no other side..end of discussion. I am truly weary of these sore losers and their protests that don’t mean anything other than to disrupt traffic or ingress and egress.....don’t any of these people have jobs or school to go to? Are they all on welfare? Is that what has them upset, that they might lose their government hand-outs?
There is no hope for the left. Their “minds” are a twisted mass of contradictions and self-loathing.
Are you just now learning this?
The only one wanting to get in Chelsea’s pants is Bill.
They are hyper sexualized and can only think in sexual terms, their minds are so filthy-—unable to ever look at anyone with dignity and respect with their constant arousals even with their own sex. Alpha males don’t bend over for Maher and it pisses him off....like the illuminati.
That is the dehumanizing nature of a socialist, Marxist worldview. People are just irrational animals to be used-—no mind, no dignity, no worth so you can call them any f....thing you want and kill your own genetic offspring, sodomize anyone or anything, no meaning in anything particularly the sex act, and make the masses into your slaves (sex-trafficking, organ-trafficking, drug-trafficking, child-trafficking, blackmailing, etc.—the major enterprises of all the leading Foundations).
They flipped Good and Evil and worship Lucifer.
They are more than unhinged. They have turned themselves over to a reprobate mindset. Jesus is the ONLY answer for them and for that matter anyone. http://www.patburt.com/
bill may of been willing to get into Chelsie’s Clintons pants 20 years ago but bill has grown up and so has Chelsea neither are interested in that type of relationship any more.....this statement is just as tasteless as bill Maher pants joke.
