so let's bring in the man himself, bill maher, also the host of real time with bill maher on hbo. we should, of course note cnn, hbo, both owned by warner bros. discovery. bill, congratulations on the special. so early on, you say that trump, quote, got the white house again, but he isn't going to get your mind. there are probably a lot of viewers that want to hear what you mean by that, and how you want to achieve that, so i'm not going to chase every rabbit down the hole like i did the first term. >> you know, um, that's what i mean about he's not going to get my mind. he's he's a kooky guy who says a lot of kooky things, and i'm just not going to create anything. um, i'm just going to hope for the best. and then when when something serious happens, i'll comment on that. uh, otherwise, i have new rules and monologue as a place in the show every week to talk about invading greenland and annexing canada and other stuff. it's perfect. perfect for comedy. but i'm not going to take it seriously. >> so i'm writing an election book, and one of the things i just stumbled on was a monolo

i think bill maher said it best. i think that's pal on a youtube show with him.ou lose again. the house, the senate, the white house, this win was pretty major. you think about 1980, the wins that republicans had paid even with reagan, they didn't get -- they didn't keep the chambers. this one here was significant because the cultural issues were really important and democrats didn't want to acknowledge it. that doesn't mean that we are wrong, it means you got to listen to voters. i said yesterday when we were talking about the fella at the mta, he seems like a nice and well-intentioned guy, he can't tell people about the subways and say that things are safe when people are saying things and hearing things that are diametrically opposed to that. we've got to make it safe. in this instance here, our message didn't resonate with people. that commercial on transgender procedures was as powerful a commercial that president trump ran throughout the campaign. friends of mine said it was not a powerful commercial, but it was not a good thing. it may not have been, but i

work with bill maher. new year's, the the fire broke out. my ex moved the kids to pasadena, i moved my mom to west hollywood and i was supposed the come to new york to do new year, new you press. subsequently, my ex's, my in-laws' house burned down, e my ex's house is jeopardy, and -- stuart: gillian, i'mer the create sorry, or i've got to go back to this news conference. they're asking questions, and i want to hear this. >> of course. >> -- flag warnings still in effect. they will resume again next week. there is no rain in the forecast. what are you doing at this point to earn back people's trust and to make sure these mistakes don't happen again? >> well,s first of all, i think that that that was addressed at the beginning of the press conference by kevin mcgowan -- >> i would like that from you, i don't -- you're the -- >> so let me just be clear, i am going to spend every moment that i can making sure that i am in as many areas as possible meeting and talking to to residents to see what is needed in t

stephen smith, bill maher federman, they all seem more free. federman looks positively radiant.nstein if they put in the good brain. and why? trump made it okay not to give a [bleep] about pronouns. and focus on the economy, law and order, and yes, fires. when a fireman is coming up that ladder and he does not look like you who gives a [bleep]? i want mind to look like ryan gosling but it is not happening. so when somebody like zuckerberg gets grief for backing trump your instinct might be to say too late we are good. but as scott adams always says good things take too long to have been including other people coming around. this is why conservative never trumpers are so miserable. their ego won't allow them to admit they are wrong but their hatred of trump is tied to their self-worth. thankfully not all democrats are like that. rfk c, moscow, when faced with new information they changed as well. how ironic for democrats really. the guy they have been trying to imprison for years is the one to break them out of their own. [applause] >> hear he is. >> greg: welcome tonight's guest

bill maher says the party needs to adapt or die. >> go with the way of the whigs. you know, parties do die off when they don't adapt. i don't think that's going to happen because i think, again, they do want to live. but we'll see. it's up to them. >> while democrats try to resuscitate their own party, the majority of americans feel optimistic now that trump's in charge. even the ones who didn't vote for him. >> i tip my cap. i tip my hat to the republicans, to the conservatives out here and what they did in this last election. i did not vote for him. but i got to tell you something. i'm not mad he won. >> wwe hall of famer hulk hogan joins us now after he chugs the beer. how you doing, hulk man, i cannot believe you pulled me out of the party, brother. >> we got hogan's hangout first night of karaoke. we're drinking real american beer made by real americans. we got a real american president, brother. and we're already celebrating the inauguration even before it happens. because we know we're getting our country back, brother. wow. >> we got the pre-party inaugurat

the next 25 minutes political satire in the hands of john oliver, bill maher and the daily show found new life in our politically fractured world. >> cnn got a show on saturday nights now where they talk about the news and crack jokes. the host of that one is pretty good, too. i'm roy wood jr. was the only person that has ever protected me. >> documentaries on the menendez brothers and martha stewart drew crowds. >> i was on the top of the world. >> that doesn't really count as television, does it? >> the only hope is in a leader strong enough to unite him. >> and for sheer adventure. house of the dragon left plenty of viewers breathless and wanting more. >> they're getting ready for a big battle. and. and then that's the end of the season. that was it. >> many years ago. a great injustice stole everything from me. >> but our pick for series of the year. draw your swords. it's children. >> it had me gripped every single episode. the visuals, the score, the acting, the story. absolutely. absolutely amazing show. >> of course, the biggest audiences in television were generally not for d

it's nice to hear bill maher call out the people we were calling out for a long time. it's nice to see comics bravely go after biden now. after we paved that road. we're happy you joined us. but remember who got you here. it's those evil trumpers in red hats who led the way. unlike january 6th, this was a real insurrection. let's welcome tonight's guest. he's a cogent political force who got kicked in the face by a horse. fox news contributor charlie hurt. he's got down on his luck. he just looks that way. founder of studio xcom, michael loftus. sees libertarian and pregnant, which means she craves small government and giant pickles. new york times bestselling author and fox news contributor kat duke. and he's tougher than the rock and smarter than spock, new york times bestselling author, comedian and former nwa world champion title. hey, charlie, i'm a bit torn. should we be happy and grateful that zuckerberg saw the light? or should we still hold disgust for him for basically helping to get biden elected? putting all that money in to getting that guy in instead of t

they can talk about illegal immigration, rising crime, schools, stephen a smith, bill maher, fetterman they all seem freer. hell, fetterman looks positively radiant. like frankenstein if they put in the good brain. and why trump made it okay not to give a about pronouns and focus on the economy, law and order. and yes, fires when a fireman is coming up that ladder and it doesn't look like you. who gives a yeah, i want mine. i want mine to look like ryan gosling, but it's not happening. so when someone like zuckerberg gets grief for now backing trump, your instinct might be to say, too late, we're good. but as scott adams always says, all good things take too long to happen, including other people coming around. this is why conservative never-trumpers are so miserable their ego won't allow them to admit they were wrong, for their hatred of trump is tied to their self-worth. but thankfully, not all dems are like that. rfk tulsi musk when faced with new information, they changed to how ironic for democrats really. the guy they've been trying to imprison for years is the one to break them
