Real Time with Bill Maher (HBO) - 11/01/24

I apologize that there are so few "official" videos available, this practice by HBO appears to have started a few weeks ago. 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.


Weird State Ballot Measures



Bill Maher shares some of the oddly specific state ballot initiatives facing voters this election.





New Rule: Christmas Eve Voters



Bill has a message for the undecided voters who like to wait until the eve of an election to make up their minds.





Overtime: Rep. Jamie Raskin, Tim Miller, Michael Moynihan



Bill and his guests continue their conversation after the show.





Here's a "bootleg" version of the show which includes the entire interview with Rep. Jamie Raskin, Democratic congressman representing Maryland’s 8th district; entire panel discussion with Tim Miller, political strategist, 2016 Jeb Bush communications director, MSNBC political analyst, and host of the podcast The Bulwark; and Michael Moynihan, journalist and co-host of the THE WEEKLY podcast The Fifth Column with Kmele Foster and Matt Welch; Bill's "Funny Bit"; and the opening part of New Rules. It won't last long, as usual:

2. I know! I was so excited to learn that he was on, only wish he'd been the first "official" video

But I did find a good "bootleg" video which contains his entire interview and of course he stuck around for Overtime as well. Tim Miller, who we regularly see posted here ("The Bulwark" ) was also on and he was really good, too! Good show!

4. I liked tonight's show a lot as well, especially Jamie Raskin, but the panel was also good. I liked Tim Miller

Raskin is always worth watching (although the shoes he wore were off-the-charts bad).

Tim Miller and Bill Maher together did a great job of taking on Michael Moynihan. I don't really understand people like him.

And "New Rules" was also excellent.

"I'm sticking with my other prediction that Harris is going to win, but I can't say I'm not nervous that the election is in the hands of a small cohort of undecided voters those curious few bisexuals of the political world everybody loves to mock. But I see it as more of a personality thing, I call them the Christmas Eve Shoppers of politics. They know the big day is coming but they just can't get themselves to do anything about it until the last minute. So let me have a word with them.

Hi Christmas Eve voter... as the Economist puts it, about America today, an economy with an unemployment rate of 4% and a per person GDP of $85,000 does not have to be made great again, it is. Mississippi is America's poorest state but its residents earn on average more than Canada, Germany or England. That's right, we're beating the axis of beer.

Who brought inflation down further and faster than any other country? The United States. It peaked here in 2022 and since
has dropped Like a Rock to 2.4%. Biden tamed it without causing a recession". -Bill Maher-

Thanks for posting, I'm looking forward to watching the "Overtime" segment.
