Real Time with Bill Maher (HBO) - 2/14/25

[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.


Monologue: Hulk Smash

Bill reacts to the news of the week, including Trump's clumsy dismantling of the federal government.





New Rule: In Love with A.I.

This Valentine’s Day, let’s stop judging people who are having romantic relationships with their phone.





Overtime: Kid Rock, Tim Ryan, Pamela Paul

Bill and his guests continue their conversation after the show.





Here's a "bootleg" version of the show which includes the entire interview with Kid Rock, musician and entertainer who will be going on tour in March and will also be joining the Rock The Country festival in April; entire panel discussion with Tim Ryan, former Democratic congressman from Ohio and co-chair of Natural Allies For A Clean Energy Future; and Pamela Paul, opinion columnist at The New York Times and author of 100 Things We’ve Lost to the Internet; Bill's "Funny Bit"; and the opening part of New Rules. It won't last long, as usual:

1. I'm usually a Maher fan, recognizing I cringe at Maher's BS too. But Kid Rube? WTF.

After that segment, the show was decent.

Don’t think Maher was totally accepting of K Rube, but I’d rather he had thrown him off the show or something.

Truthfully, I doubt anyone changed their opinion of Rube tonight, good or bad.

2. I know that no one here likes him, but I'd never seen him before. Now I know why, he's a real jerk

And he was a very poor choice for a guest, I'm sure that Bill's audience didn't like him, either.

4. i should have skipped that kid rock segment

and i will remain blissfully ignorant of whatever "beef" is between drake and he other guy. a halftime show that does not feature the auburn u marching band in a rousing rendition of "war eagle fly down the field" can't be good enough to keep me out of the bath room.

can ryan beat ramaswammy for gov of ohio? i sure hope so, but i'm sure they will prove i'm wrong.

5. Same here! I knew that he was not popular here and that should have been enough, but now I certainly know why

And I agree that Tim Ryan was the best guest on the show and we now know that he has a good sense of humor - which he'll certainly need the way things are going. And I sure hope he wins, too! Yikes!

3. Appreciate the first 2 minutes...the rest no..
