Real Time with Bill Maher (HBO) - 8/1/2025

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.

Tristan Harris on Runaway A.I.

The Center for Humane Technology co-founder and "Your Undivided Attention" podcast host Tristan Harris joins Bill to discuss some unsettling advances in Artificial Intelligence.

New Rule: Mind Over Chatter

With the Trump administration "flooding the zone" with outrageousness, it's more important than ever to ration your outrage for when it really matters.

Overtime with Bill Maher: Rep. Jason Crow, James Kirchick

Bill and his guests – Congressman Jason Crow (D-CO) and Tablet Magazine columnist James Kirchick – continue their conversation after the show.

Here's a "bootleg" version of the show which includes the entire interview with Tristan Harris, co-founder of the Center for Humane Technology and co-host of the podcast Your Undivided Attention; entire panel discussion with Rep. Jason Crow, Democratic congressman representing Colorado’s 6th district; and James Kirchick, columnist at Tablet Magazine and author of Secret City: The Hidden History of Gay Washington; Bill's "Funny Bit"; and the opening part of New Rules. It won't last long, as usual:

. . . Maher made a couple good points about not falling for all the shit that the zone is being filled with. Then he rather lifelessly described the four or five items he is concerned about. Trump's blackmailing of major institutions with lawsuits and threats to withdraw government funding weren't among them.

I really did not like James Kirchick. And I did not much like all the lying about Mamdani that Maher and Kirchick did in their neo-McCarthyism fest about him.

That the others have to stand up to. I guess they think that makes for good conversation, like his previous show, "Politically Incorrect," but I disagree. Except for the time that Malcolm Nance put Ben Shapiro in his place.
