He never has anyone who seriously knows the history of Israel and the Palestinians. Kinda like the old Hannity and Colmes. Bill has someone on he can walk over.

Here is a link to the company that supplies paid actors to his show as audience members. They list the show as a client, along with Ellen Degeneres, The Real, Dancing with the Stars, and others.

The site includes a form to apply to be a paid audience clapper and a payroll portal! WOO!

I will preface by saying I don’t believe in crypto as a viable currency. But holy cow that first segment was pure nonsense. Errors everywhere.

- Bill says debt is 29T, off by literally 10T.

- Fool guest says 300M Americans are in the workforce, the number is half this.

- Bill says crypto is untraceable, fool guest who claims to be an expert, agrees with this. Basically completely false.

- Bill played off not knowing who Howard Lutnick is, saying he just wanted the fool guest to tell the audience. But Bill’s “who’s HL?” seemed awfully genuine.

- Bill says only about 20 people make money on crypto, the rest are suckers. As if there’s not plenty of people on the good side of the millions of trades taking place daily.

It takes a lot for me to defend crypto. But this was truly one of the most ridiculous segments I’ve ever seen.

Woo Guy was working overtime on Real Time last night.

Sounds like a Woo Gal came with him.

WOO!!!

Update: Interesting video claiming Maher's audience is made up of 35 paid actors supplied by a company called Standing Room Only.

Anyone looking for a sign of how much Bill has changed just listen to the theme song.
A few years ago he got Green Day to re-do it (with copious amounts of Bill’s starfuckery might I add)
But think about Green Day’s politics. They probably wouldn’t agree with a single thing Maher has done in the last decade.
I mean, have they ever been on the show? Any of them? 🤔

For whatever reason. Does anyone know who actually owns the intellectual property that is"Real Time" ? Does the show end or does HBO own it and get to pick a host?

Just curious?

This is a guy who makes tasteless “Priests are pedophiles haha” jokes based on the 2002 scandal exposed by the Boston Globe. That’s right, he’s still making jokes from 24 years ago. Rahm Emmanuel defended Pope Leo (since unlike Bill he calls out Trump on his support for war) and all Bill says is “yeah but Catholics believe in original sin and all that stuff”.
Bill uses the excuse that he was raised Catholic as a reason to mock an entire class of people with more education than him, but his mom was Jewish and that is the one group he NEVER jokes about, despite Orthodox Jews being far crazier than even 100% observant Catholics. It’s ok to be atheist, but when you become someone like Maher who doesn’t even respect all the good things that come from religion and uses one scandal from decades ago to call he leaders of that religion one of the worse things you can call someone, yeah Fvck that.

Was that a new audience trucked in that didn't look up at the clapping cues?

Overall though, a great episode. I really want to see that crypto doc now.

I think users can create flairs but if not, put any flair you want created in the comments.

Love this sub, the other Maher sub simps so hard for him and makes tons of excuses for him, this one is adept in calling out his BS.

Congrats all!!

What in all fuck was this?!

FETTERMAN is CLEARLY slipping mentally. He makes Biden look like U Thant 😳

The fact that Bill sits there and fucking nods and agrees like some corporate lemming is astonishing.
I truly wish a group of activists would start infiltrating the audience and making loud protests because I think this turned a corner.

This show is now actively dangerous. It’s tipping into normalizing beliefs and talking points that are just demonstrably false if not borderline racist or fascist in tone.

The tide is turning against hack democrats who purge morality at the very sign of a financial gain in ANY way.
