Real Time with Bill Maher (HBO) - 9/05/2025

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.


Monologue: I'm with the Knives



Bill reacts to the top stories of the week, including China's bad guy summit and RFK Jr.'s contentious congressional hearing.





New Rule: Cuck the Police



Will militarizing our cities make them safer? Yes. But not safer for democracy.





Overtime with Bill Maher: Kaitlan Collins, Steven Pinker, Stephen Moore



Bill and his guests continue their conversation after the show.





Here's a "bootleg" version of the show which includes the entire interview with Steven Pinker, professor and author of the forthcoming book When Everyone Knows That Everyone Knows...: Common Knowledge and the Mysteries of Money, Power, and Everyday Life; entire panel discussion with Kaitlan Collins, CNN Chief White House Correspondent and anchor of the weeknight show The Source with Kaitlan Collins; and Stephen Moore, senior visiting fellow in economics at The Heritage Foundation and co-author of Trumponomics: Inside the America First Plan to Revive Our Economy; Bill's "Funny Bit"; and the opening part of New Rules. It won't last long, as usual:

Despite the "conservative" on the panel, I thought it was a good show!

I don't mind one with conservative leanings being on a panel.

In my opinion, Mr. Maher and Ms. Collins handled him quite well. You could even see him squirming/laughing at some of the attacks against him.

Once again, I'm glad I watched!

And as an aside, the 'FBM' clan came up with absolutely NOTHING on your other thread. I'd go so far to say that none of them could argue their way out of a wet paper bag should push come to shove.

Was always gone by morning. So I started looking for the official video which didn't disappear and it was appreciated. Unfortunately, HBO stopped making the entire show available a few seasons ago, so these days I make do. And I know that it's no longer appreciated but by only a few, I hate to disappoint anybody. And I also know that Bill has always liked to post a member of the "opposition" on the panel so he (or others) will have someone to argue with. And if someone's not interested, they can just skip over it. That's what I do. Thanks, my friend!
