Real Time with Bill Maher (HBO) - 3/14/2025

[Rhiannon12866]

I apologize that there are so few "official" videos available, this practice by HBO appears to have started last season. If any are uploaded in the meantime, I'll definitely add them. But I wanted to share what's available before the "bootleg" videos are gone.


Economic Ozempic

Bill reacts to the tanking economy under the Trump administration in his Real Time monologue.





New Rule: America's Whore Complex

Sometimes you can get so caught up in the "virtue signaling" that you actually do harm to the cause.





Overtime: Gov. Josh Shapiro, Batya Ungar-Sargon, Sam Stein

Bill and his guests – Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro, Sam Stein and Batya Ungar-Sargon – continue their conversation after the show.





Here's a "bootleg" version of the show which includes the entire interview with Gov. Josh Shapiro, Democratic governor of Pennsylvania; entire panel discussion with Sam Stein, managing editor of The Bulwark and MSNBC contributor; and Batya Ungar-Sargon, journalist and author of Second Class: How the Elites Betrayed America’s Working Men and Women; Bill's "Funny Bit"; and the opening part of New Rules. It won't last long, as usual:

2. At least we had Governor Shapiro and Sam Stein this week, I had no idea who she even was!

6. She made me want to vomit. So dishonest! And Maher let her get away with it!

Her answer to all the destructive firings? It's waste reduction!

Her answer to Maher asking her about USAID being sacked and making the US vulnerable to emerging diseases? I'm going to change the subject and talk about middle class manufacturing jobs that have disappeared!




Maher always gets these dolled up right wing women. I think it's his fetish.

3. maher is a pain in the azz

His harping on making something out of nothing.
His harping on gender politics and ultra liberals. eg Dem's defunding the police. He does not harp on book censorship of the likes of De Santis ridding books as to our history we'd rather ignore. Books are for everyone. The likes of DeSantis hitting on woke and slavery is a skill maker ; that is what started the whole woke thing. Not offending racists is the repuke agenda. Does that get Maher
attention. He talks of the Dem's being ultra liberal . Is he ever brave enough to invite one of these ultra liberals . no , it would be covering up his pandering and allow his schtick to be subject to the real world. . perhaps he is such a troll just for ratings.

[Rhiannon12866]

5. Thanks, Bill! Good guests tonight, I was excited to hear from both Governor Shapiro and Sam Stein!

[SunSeeker]

7. Wow, Shapiro is definitely running. He sounded great. nt

[Rhiannon12866]

8. I sure hope so, he's exactly what we need right now!

Not to mention, we'll be sure to carry Pennsylvania!

9. Yet another enjoyable Real Time with Bill Maher!

Josh Shapiro was in running for President mode, and the panel with Sam Stein and Batya -Ungar-Sargon was interesting as well. I'm not on board with a lot of what she said, but she did put forth a few views worth pondering.
