Bill Maher leaves his guest visibly dumbfounded after yanking him out of his liberal bubble. Patton Oswalt couldn’t believe what he was hearing: “I’m sorry, I don’t remember [the left doing] that.” That’s when Bill Maher told him why his blind spot was so massive: “Because it doesn’t get into the Blue Sky Bubble.” OSWALT: “I hate to admit this: this country is not as mature as it thinks it is. We elected Obama, and clearly the country freaked out. And we’re still living in that freakout. We are not as progressed and evolved and intelligent as we think we are because we keep freaking out about this stuff.” MAHER: “The left freak out, too. The left freaked out about a lot of bullshit too.” OSWALT: “What did they freak out about?” MAHER: “Gender, race, parenthood, schools, homelessness, crime, the border, education. We stopped being a scientific people.” OSWALT: “But the left certainly stayed scientific.” MAHER: “No, they didn’t.” OSWALT: “Why not?” MAHER: “Because they think gender bullshit that they went way too far with… What makes us a great country is that we respect minorities. We don’t think they’re lesser just because they’re lesser in numbers. That’s not what we started to teach, which was that every baby is — I don’t know — let’s not even put it on the birth certificate. That’s what they wanted.” OSWALT: “Were we teaching that? Yes. When were we teaching that? Teaching it. It was a law here in California, see.” MAHER: “Yes.” OSWALT: “When were we teaching that?” MAHER: “Teaching it — it was a law here in California.” OSWALT: “To teach what?” MAHER: “Don’t put sex on the birth certificate. ‘We’ll see.’ Now, we’ve passed that period now.” OSWALT: “I’m sorry, I don’t remember that.” MAHER: “Because it doesn’t get in the Blue Sky bubble.”

Bill Maher leaves his guest visibly shaken with a bone-chilling AI story. MAHER: “There’s a story in the news last week. It’s a lawsuit now. The AI convinced a teenager to kill himself.” BARRY LEVINSON: “Really?” MAHER: “Yes, because they don’t have it perfected. And it was doing what it thinks it should do, which is kiss your ass. So this kid was asking about killing himself, and the AI was like, ‘You know, you’ve been a king, man. You will be remembered.’ Like, telling him basically to kill himself. And he did.” LEVINSON: *Groans* MAHER: “Because it was kissing his ass about how well he would be remembered.” LEVINSON: “That’s scary.” MAHER: “That’s really scary. We should put the brakes on this sh*t.”

Bill Maher’s guest claims “we learned” Jeffrey Epstein killed himself, and the conspiracy theorists have “moved on.” Maher pushed back and predicted the audience would be split “50/50” on it. Then he actually polled them and was left completely stunned. IAN BREMMER: “He did actually kill himself. We learned that, right?” MAHER: “We don’t know that.” BREMMER: “Well, I mean, they’re not talking about it. The conspiracists have moved on. We got a letter.” MAHER: “Well, I bet you if I polled the audience… it’d be about 50/50.” [Maher polls the audience] MAHER: “How many people think it was a suicide? That he killed himself in prison?” [Room goes quiet] MAHER: “Nobody. Nobody!!” BREMMER: “There was one person right there.”

Rep. Anna Paulina Luna steals the show on Bill Maher’s Real Time as she drops a White House insider’s take on the Iran war. Here’s what she revealed that Maher had no clue about: • Operations are winding down in Iran • Trump has been clear in private conversations that he doesn’t want boots on the ground. • The Iranians had what Luna described as a “Nazir plan” before the most recent strike, meaning any attack could have triggered immediate retaliation. • That retaliation, she and others believe, could have led to mass casualties for U.S. troops in the region. • She would oppose boots on the ground, even if Trump supported it. But as she said earlier, that scenario was never seriously on the table to begin with. MAHER: “Well, you seem to know some stuff we don’t.” LUNA: “Well, that’s why I’m here.” MAHER: “Did you know this shit, Paul?” PAUL BEGALA: “No, I’m glad you’re here.” If that Anna Paulina Luna moment stood out to you, there’s a lot more where that came from.

Bill Maher on what he texted Kid Rock about TPUSA’s alternative halftime show: “I did text with kid rock about it… I wanted to watch his to so I taped it. I liked the song he sang. I said, it was a good song the content of it not my cup of tea.” “I think he writes a great song. Big fan of his music… His whole show was very about Christian. It was a very big Christian. I said, ‘Wouldn’t it have been a little more Christian to let Mr. Bunny have his moment?’” CNN’s Elex Michaelson: “What did he say?” Bill Maher: “I just said, ‘Next time we talk we should talk about whether it would have been a little more Christian to let Mr. Bunny have his moment.’”

The whole thing is we have to get in there and see otherwise we wouldn’t be doing this.” Vice President JD Vance: “The thing that you have to destroy is their ability to destroy their enriched uranium, which has been destroyed.” Bill Maher: “How do we know that?” Vice President JD Vance: “You need functioning centrifuges that can actually spin, [and] we know that they’re gone.” Bill Maher: “We didn’t get in there so how do we get the dust?” Vice President JD Vance: “That enriched stockpile is something we want to get, but Bill, if we never get it, and the president wants it and we are going to get it... it’s buried deep underground and they don’t have the ability to turn it into a nuclear weapon.”

Bill Maher SNAPS at Lloyd Blankfein after he was “happy” to get the COVID vaccine—and anyone who thinks otherwise is “nuts.” Bill Maher: “I just thought everybody overreacted looking back.” Anthony Scaramucci: “We also put up some disinformation. Not only did we overreact, the whole vaccine controversy made us more polarized. It was a disaster on a lot of different fronts… I know people that have had vaccine injuries. I think they rushed it.” Lloyd Blankfein: “I was so glad to get that vaccine… I don’t like to judge, but anyone who thinks otherwise is nuts.” Bill Maher: “No. You’re wrong. Good for you. I’m glad you liked it. I didn’t want to get it, and I didn’t need it.” “If you think everybody who got it needed it, you’re nuts!”

NEW: Bill Maher smears Elon Musk for “retweeting Nazis”—then admits on air he never saw the tweets himself. While chatting with Winston Marshall of Mumford and Sons, Maher tried to play the free speech guy—and faceplanted. “Yes, I’m a free speech guy up and down the line,” Maher began. “But I didn’t think that the head guy would be like retweeting the worst of the tweets. That’s crazy.” “Are there going to be some Nazis if you really have a free speech channel? Yes, there are. But you don’t have to retweet them!” Then Marshall calmly asked the obvious question: “Was he retweeting Nazis?” Maher froze. A deer in the headlights moment. “Well, I mean——” “You know what? I don’t read it closely but——I’m——I’m getting this from what other people say.” “I don’t know if it’s like specific——” “It’s——” “Look, he did that salute, which I don’t think he meant it. I don’t think he was like saying: I’m a Nazi.” “It’s just when you’re that close to the fire, you know?” What? He admits he didn’t even read the tweets. He couldn’t name a single post. He just heard it from “other people.” This is what media narrative collapse looks like in real time. Bill Maher got caught bluffing—and he knows it.

Bill Maher lays out the uncomfortable truth about why powerful but nerdy men like Bill Gates gravitated toward Jeffrey Epstein. According to Maher, it had nothing to do with finance...and everything to do with access. MAHER: “You know, I always said this about Epstein. When there’s a guy who’s super rich and you don’t know what he does…he’s a pimp.” “And guys like Bill Gates, who are nerds, who are the opposite, they need a friend like Epstein.” “That’s what it is. It’s not because he’s some financial genius.”

The legendary playwright wasn’t having it when Maher tried to claim Trump caused the riot by refusing to concede. Maher: “If a prizefighter loses, it doesn’t inspire people to riot.” Mamet: “How did he inspire people to riot?” Maher: “By not conceding the election!” Mamet: “Oh come on! Oh come on. Come on. So wait a second, he didn’t say the words ‘I concede’ so that meant people rioted?” Maher: “Yes! What do you think January 6th was about? It was about people who did not hear their leader say, as every other leader in this country has said after an election, okay I lost. We welcome the new guy. We had disagreements, but now we’re all Americans.” “When Obama took over, George Bush stood next to him and he said, we want you to succeed because when you succeed—Trump didn’t do any of that.” Mamet: “Okay. So so what?” Maher: “So what?! It inspires half the country to not accept the basic Democrat principle that we have elections, and when you lose, you go away and then you become the loyal opposition.” Mamet: “You, like me, have built a career out of nothing except talent and a little bit of luck and a lot of hard work, but you’re full of sh*t!” “I don’t understand when you say that he did not say the words ‘I concede’, caused half the country, which you just said, to riot.”

Bill Maher admits Trump was right about forest management and prevention of fires: Bill Maher: "Remember when we had a fire when Trump was president and he came and he said, you don't rake! We all did jokes about it. We got to get over this thing. I remember when he took ivermectin or something and then ivermectin, which won the Nobel Prize. Just because Trump says it doesn't mean it's automatically wrong. Did he have a point about that? Rick Caruso: "Of Course he did." Did Liberals let the city burn to the ground because they were contrarian to Trump? Of course they did.

Bill Maher STUNS his audience by siding with Rep. Anna Paulina Luna as she lays out the case for President Trump’s decision to strike Iran. That moment immediately INFURIATED Democrat panelist Paul Begala. LUNA: “If you know that you are going to get hit, and if you know you’re going to have people die, ultimately I would never want to have be in that position as the president.” “But what I will tell you is I would rather be on the right side and be able to control the outcome of something that I know is going to happen regardless.” “And I think that this gets into a bigger…” Maher interjected. MAHER: “I…I have to…I have to agree.” Begala was upset by this and launched into a tirade. BEGALA: “We’re not controlling SH*T!” “What are you talking about controlling the outcome?!” “Excuse my language.” LUNA: “Hold on…we are controlling…” “Respectfully, I disagree because here’s the thing.” “We eliminated their navy program. We eliminated their short range and ballistic missiles program.”

Ana Kasparian picks a fight with Bill Maher about Israel and Gaza—then all hell breaks loose. ANA: “You wanna get exhilarated right now? I can exhilarate you.” MAHER: “I know you’re gonna say genocide, and I’m gonna say, well, you don’t know what the word means… Hamas is the bad guy. If you don’t get that, you don’t get much.” ANA: “What Hamas did on October 7th was disgusting killing.” MAHER: “Well, that’s the easiest thing in the world to say… If you hate oppression… Hundreds of millions of women have basically no freedom in the Muslim world.” ANA: “So we should slaughter them instead, which is what’s been happening.” MAHER: “Well, you should prosecute a war to the end. That does involve slaughter in every war.” ANA: “Civilians get killed in wars.” MAHER: “Especially when you hide behind them.” ANA: “But when 83%, according to the IDF’s own data… 83% of the people that they’ve killed are civilians—” MAHER: “Because they hide behind them.” ANA: “But Bill, do you understand that by killing so many civilians, they are essentially multiplying extremism.” MAHER: “I do understand that. Do you understand that there’s very often in the world two very bad choices… You don’t have a good choice. You have the bad choice and the even worse choice.” ANA: “Israel has nuclear weapons, Bill. They have nuclear weapons.” MAHER: “Well, they have nuclear weapons, which they don’t use. If Hamas had a nuclear weapon, how many seconds would it take before they used it on Israel?” ANA: “I don’t know.” MAHER: “Three. Three’s the answer. Three seconds.” ANA: “How do you know that, Bill? Come on.” MAHER: “Because it’s in their charter.” ANA: “You have a difficult time at least acknowledging the atrocities that have been committed against innocent civilians in Gaza.” MAHER: “Well, it depends on what you call an atrocity. All wars are going to have atrocities… During the Civil War, a lot of people would say, especially in the South, that Sherman did not have to burn Atlanta quite as badly as he did. I mean, we were pretty brutal. But would you also then just say, well, we don’t know who the good guys were in that war? No, I think it was the North.” ANA: “I think much of the problems we have in the Middle East are due to the enabling of this expansion. Look, it’s an expansionist policy.” MAHER: “They’ve never been trying to expand.” ANA: “They’re trying to annex the West Bank right now. And Lebanon—southern Lebanon—and Syria, which they’ve succeeded in.” MAHER: “Excuse me, these are all places that they were attacked from. When they became a country in 1947, they said, ‘Okay, we will accept half a loaf.’ They had as much right to that land as anybody. There was a continual presence there since 1000 BC, when King David had a kingdom.” ANA: “I don’t care about that at all.” MAHER: “But it’s relevant!” (MAHER AND ANA TALK OVER EACH OTHER) MAHER: “You’re calling them colonizers. They’re not colonizers.” ANA: “They’re expanding, and they’re annexing land. That’s what colonizers do.”

Ana Kasparian picks a fight with Bill Maher about Israel and Gaza—then all hell breaks loose. ANA: “You wanna get exhilarated right now? I can exhilarate you.” MAHER: “I know you’re gonna say genocide, and I’m gonna say, well, you don’t know what the word means… Hamas is the bad guy. If you don’t get that, you don’t get much.” ANA: “What Hamas did on October 7th was disgusting killing.” MAHER: “Well, that’s the easiest thing in the world to say… If you hate oppression… Hundreds of millions of women have basically no freedom in the Muslim world.” ANA: “So we should slaughter them instead, which is what’s been happening.” MAHER: “Well, you should prosecute a war to the end. That does involve slaughter in every war.” ANA: “Civilians get killed in wars.” MAHER: “Especially when you hide behind them.” ANA: “But when 83%, according to the IDF’s own data… 83% of the people that they’ve killed are civilians—” MAHER: “Because they hide behind them.” ANA: “But Bill, do you understand that by killing so many civilians, they are essentially multiplying extremism.” MAHER: “I do understand that. Do you understand that there’s very often in the world two very bad choices… You don’t have a good choice. You have the bad choice and the even worse choice.” ANA: “Israel has nuclear weapons, Bill. They have nuclear weapons.” MAHER: “Well, they have nuclear weapons, which they don’t use. If Hamas had a nuclear weapon, how many seconds would it take before they used it on Israel?” ANA: “I don’t know.” MAHER: “Three. Three’s the answer. Three seconds.” ANA: “How do you know that, Bill? Come on.” MAHER: “Because it’s in their charter.” ANA: “You have a difficult time at least acknowledging the atrocities that have been committed against innocent civilians in Gaza.” MAHER: “Well, it depends on what you call an atrocity. All wars are going to have atrocities… During the Civil War, a lot of people would say, especially in the South, that Sherman did not have to burn Atlanta quite as badly as he did. I mean, we were pretty brutal. But would you also then just say, well, we don’t know who the good guys were in that war? No, I think it was the North.” ANA: “I think much of the problems we have in the Middle East are due to the enabling of this expansion. Look, it’s an expansionist policy.” MAHER: “They’ve never been trying to expand.” ANA: “They’re trying to annex the West Bank right now. And Lebanon—southern Lebanon—and Syria, which they’ve succeeded in.” MAHER: “Excuse me, these are all places that they were attacked from. When they became a country in 1947, they said, ‘Okay, we will accept half a loaf.’ They had as much right to that land as anybody.

Bill Maher DEFENDS Charlie Kirk after actor David Cross tried to paint him as racist. Maher refused to let Cross run away with the narrative. MAHER: “But like the the the rank and file Republican, I don’t think is a racist.” “I think you can get them into positions that look racist, but I don’t think in their bones they’re like what the racists kind of what I grew up was like a racist was somebody who didn’t want to shake a black person’s hand.” CROSS: “Yes...I don’t think that’s a thing, but I think there is...I mean I know there is because they say as much.” “There’s a feeling, a sense that...uh...I mean like Charlie Kirk stuff that women and black people and black women especially are just not...” “I’m not being an a**hole guys, I’m just saying they don’t have the mental, you know...” MAHER: “There was a little more [to it].” “I read that when he died, of course lots of places put his greatest hits...worst hits, worst things.” “And then somebody else printed something and this is what always happens with the media like I never trust it because you never get the full story, where like each one was put in with the full context.” “It was never quite as bad as they said.” CROSS: “I mean, context is everything, right?” MAHER: “It is. I’m just saying it was easy to pull from his quote bed and find stuff that I certainly don’t agree with even in the context, but it wasn’t quite what...it wasn’t quite what you were saying there.”
