Comedian Bill Maher said over the weekend that if Americans wanted to see what would happen to the United States if it continued down the path to “extreme wokeness,” they should look no further than their neighbors to the north. Maher argued — during Friday’s broadcast of “Real Time” on HBO — that Canada should serve as a “cautionary tale” for Americans who wanted the progressive utopian ideal and thought that they could see it just across the border. Maher began by saying that he agreed with those who said American liberals should learn from progressive countries that were getting...

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.

“Real Time” host Bill Maher closed his show on Friday night scorching Democrats for “pandering” to minority groups for votes, telling them the time of relying on “identity politics” to win elections is over. “I do give a s–t about who wins the next election. And outdated racial pandering is one reason Democrats lose elections,” Maher told viewers. “When Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi put on Kente cloth, I don’t think it earned them one vote for their powerful emotional ties to Ghana.” “Here in California, we’re now segregating kidnapping. Really. California doesn’t just have AMBER alerts for missing children....

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.”

Black voters, who Democrats claim to speak for, actually support requiring photo identification to vote. (LifeSiteNews) – Former Obama administration Attorney General Eric Holder received pushback over the weekend on the prevailing left-wing narrative that election integrity reform amounts to racist “voter suppression” from an unexpected source: liberal HBO host Bill Maher. Maher, a longtime liberal personality whose independent streak has occasionally put him at odds with the extremes of his own side, had Holder on the Friday edition of his show Real Time, where he challenged the divisive figure for his vocal criticism of state laws requiring photo identification...

Sources say the ‘Real Time’ host was furious after he wasn’t invited to Bryan Lourd’s Academy Awards bash.Sources say the host of HBO’s Real Time fired CAA, his reps for more than two decades, on Monday after he was not invited to CEO Bryan Lourd’s private Oscar party at his home on Saturday night. Maher, according to sources, was furious that he was snubbed for the event — which was scheduled opposite the Motion Picture & Television Fund’s Night Before bash. The party at Lourd’s home drew the likes of J.J. Abrams, Barry Diller, Kamala Harris, Margot Robbie, Bob Iger,...

Bill Maher has suggested President Joe Biden consider replacing his current Vice President Kamala Harris with either Nikki Haley or Republican Senator Mitt Romney in a bid to bridge the divide between the political parties. Maher suggested that if Biden were to pursue such an unconventional idea, it would likely result in electoral victory for the Democrats as the GOP members would be running on a unity ticket. On the panel, journalist Tara Palmeri raised concerns about potentially alienating the core of the Democratic party, which includes black women. 'She's a woman of color,' Maher replied — referring to Haley....

On Friday’s broadcast of HBO’s “Real Time,” host Bill Maher said that while he thinks President Joe Biden “did well” in his State of the Union, he should stay in his basement like he did in 2020 because whenever he does interviews and press conferences, he messes up and looks like a “zombie” and the State of the Union was good because it was on a teleprompter and Biden only had to go off script every so often.

Bill Maher skewered Joe Biden and his advisors for not dealing with the reality that the president's age is catching up with him, as he campaigns for a second term in office. Biden's age and mental acuity appears to be proving to be a problematic issue as the election looms with the majority of Americans, including Democrats, believing he's too old to run again for the presidency. The HBO Real Time host urged the 81-year-old Biden to 'lean into' his age and 'let his old fart flag fly.'

There wasn’t much to report regarding the latest updates on the Kansas City Super Bowl parade shooting other than it was a “dispute” among several people that led to gunfire. Three people were arrested—all juveniles. One has since been released after it was determined this individual was not part of the shooting, but two have been booked on firearm-related charges. One person was killed, with at least 20 injured—11 of them were children. Nine kids had gunshot wounds, but all survived. That’s the good news. We’re still waiting on the suspects' names and the real motive. What we do know...

On Friday’s broadcast of HBO’s “Real Time,” host Bill Maher stated that under our current system, immigration hasn’t been positive for the U.S. and the reaction of sanctuary cities to having migrants bused to them shows this. Maher began by saying that “some immigration” is “the lifeblood of this country.” Later in the segment, CNN Senior Political Commentator and former Obama Adviser Van Jones stated, “Immigration is good for America. It’s positive for America.”

“Real Time” host Bill Maher offered caution ahead of the four criminal trials of former President Trump, predicting they will make him look like a “revolutionary leader” as the 2024 campaign unfolds. In an interview published Monday by Reason Magazine, Maher shared his pessimism about the upcoming election, which is increasingly looking like a rematch between Trump and President Biden. “I think I’m where a lot of people are: I wish Biden would step aside,” Maher said. “Well, first, I wish Trump doesn’t win, but he totally could, and it’s looking more like he will. But a lot can change...

"Real Time" host Bill Maher is sounding the alarm on Democrats' election strategy of solely attacking former President Trump. On "America's Newsroom" Monday, OutKick founder Clay Travis argued Democrats are using the strategy to distract from President Biden's failures and the fact that a large majority of Americans do not feel Biden is up to the job any longer. CLAY TRAVIS: I think ultimately what Democrats are going to try to do… is disguise from the fact that 75% of Americans -- that's Democrats, Republicans, independent, White, Black, Asian, Hispanic – 75% of Americans don't think that Biden has the...

Country music star Trace Adkins surprised many fans after bashing vaccine skepticism during his recent appearance on Real Time with Bill Maher. During the interview, the topic of COVID-19 was brought up, which led Bill Maher to ask Adkins if he was vaccinated, to which Adkins responded, “Yeah.” Maher followed his question by asking Adkins, “So you didn’t think the vaccine had a chip in it to track you?” The country star replied, “I just don’t buy all of that crap. I’m like…Give me a vaccine for everything that you’ve got one for. I’ll take them. I’m not scared of...

In a recent installment of the 'Club Random' podcast, talk show host Bill Maher and 'Family Guy' mastermind Seth MacFarlane engaged in a contentious debate regarding the efficacy of the COVID-19 vaccine, as reported by RadarOnline.com. Maher expressed his apprehensions about the US medical establishment's neglect of the concept of natural immunity, a sentiment challenged by MacFarlane during their debate. Debate over natural immunity and vaccination requirements Maher criticized the US's inadequate consideration of natural immunity in determining vaccination requirements, particularly questioning the necessity of vaccinating individuals who have previously contracted the disease, contrasting this approach with Europe's practices, and...

It may be a “magical time of year,” but what we all really need right now is a good dose of realism about Israel and Palestine.

Bill Maher slammed pro-Palestine extremists peddling the 'myth' that Israel could be wiped out in the war with Hamas, arguing that over the course of history, 'things change.' Inflammatory chant 'from the river to the sea' has been heard in protests across the West after the conflict broke out on October 7, with many seeing it as a call to eradicate the nation of Israel entirely. But Maher, 67, who is Jewish but identifies as an atheist, said the chant ignores 'reality', and suggested that Palestinians 'come to an accommodation' to end the decades-long crisis in the Middle East, as...

Ann Coulter Tries to Debunk Ray Epps "Conspiracy Theory" by Invoking NY Times

Oliver Stone is a Hollywood leftist who has an odd way of being right at times.His Academy Award-winning JFK was dismissed as a conspiracy theory.Turns out he was likely closer to right all along -- as Tucker Carlson noted in one of this segments.That's not the only one.His South of the Border documentary about Latin America's wave of elected leftist dictators was initially criticized as Chavista propaganda, a glossing over of some of the region's worst rulers ... except that if you watch the thing, which I did twice, you realize he did an extraordinary job of revealing these people...

“Real Time” host Bill Maher connected the dots between the Democrats’ abrupt clean-up of San Francisco ahead of Chinese President Xi Jinping’s visit and former President Donald Trump’s potential election victory in 2024. This week, San Francisco hosted the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) conference where world leaders and business giants hobnobbed and President Biden had a one-on-one meeting with Xi. But after years of deterioration in the Golden City, most notably the homelessness plaguing its streets, Democrats on a local and state level rolled out the red carpet for the Chinese leader by clearing the sidewalks. “I want to try...
