Can we hear more of the Palestinian point of view?

Worthless to the left. Worthless to America. Platforming TRASH like Coutler. Put on the MAGA hat that’s in your drawer Bill. You dumb clown.

I love the content of the show but the hissing of the audio is horrible

Thank you for addressing the need to protect children. This topic needs powerful voices. Honest reflect and feedback is so refreshing but rare and why you have a powerful voice.

No. Bill Clinton’s lies about Monica Lewinsky are not the same as Ronna McDaniel’s lies about the 2020 election. Talk about whataboutism. Zakaria should take a course in critical thinking.

Bill has gone from being one of the three stooges to the wealthy dowager. And the interview with musk was such a low point. I’m only here for the guests now.

I enjoy listening to Bill even though I don’t agree with all his views. He is smart and entertaining. I listen weekly using headphones. It would be nice if there is a way to mute the lip smacking. I recommend this podcast and club random.

Enjoyable and funny but Sara Isgur is the worst. I’ll never forget her saying maybe there wouldn’t be a fentanyl problem if people with chronic pain just lived with their pain. Do better! Trina Empey

No one can match bill.

I love Bill and share nearly all of his political views. However most the time it seems Bill is trying to validate how cool he is by telling his stories and not allowing his guest to share theirs

Having Overtime upload to pod (4) days after broadcast is silly and untimely.

Bad interview Kara criticizing musk for calling mark cuban Dumb and then she calls Elon a racist anti Jewish transphob Bill just sits there.kara a tech expert? She’s just a far left Karen Nothing but name calling

I have been listening to this show for many years. I listen to podcasts when I ride my bike, so there is ambient noise. I never have problems with other podcasts, but even on max volume I can hardly hear Bill. Guests are much better to understand than Bill. This should be an easy fix for the audio technician. Thank you!

Must-listen every week.

I appreciate the variety of views that Bill hosts. It brings a lot of common ground to light. Bill always demands answers to tough questions, but occasionally deflects when it comes to the DNC. Overall solid podcast and worth listening to most weeks - usually with multiple lol jokes

What happened to you?

Bill just repeats the same theme week after week. Younger generation bad, liberals have now become too “woke.” In the past he conducted intelligent conversations. Now it’s the same thing over and over, pandering to identity politics like a GD Republican. Recent Ann Coulter episode completely lackluster. Nothing new, no insight. He’s just an old pot smoker whose comedy is past it’s expiration date. He needs a neuro check, the constant repetition seems like old timers disorder. He’s only a few years older than me and it’s sad to see someone so bright fall apart.

My grandparents watched Politically Incorrect and I was raised on Bill’s takes. Now as a 40 year old, I look forward to this show every week. Bill is perceptive and is never afraid to hold an unfavorable or embattled view simply because it isn’t popular. The guests are also fantastic. I’ll admit, I don’t really find him funny, and he is both smug and out of touch (OK, boomer vibes throughout 😂), but I listen because I tend to agree with him on most things and find him to be a voice of sanity.

Clearly he is ready.

Bill is very smart and funny. Big fan. Never miss his show. Love his guests. His views on Israel, Ukraine and Trump/MAGA crew are spot on. The world needs more ppl like Bill. Keep u the GREAT work.

Like Dennis Miller, he used to be funny. Now, he’s the worst kind of liberal - a liberal that has been inconvenienced by liberal policy and is now aggrieved. That, or he’s auditioning for Fox News.

It’s been hard to watch this guy devolve into an anti-science, anti-fact kook. Used to be one of my faves. I once drove 5 hours to see him on tour. Unfortunately, he has not kept up with reality. He’s become unwatchable and unlistenable. My poor ears just can’t tolerate the mountain of garbage expelled from his piehole. Farewell, bill, you sad sack.

I love this show, but why has Bill started with the single, loud slurp between statements? I notice the madder he gets, the louder the slurp. I wish he'd stop because it's kinda gross.

I love listening to the podcast and have watched the show for years, but you have to get rid of the annoying loud clapper guy. He takes up 10 mins of the show because he starts clapping after every statement. Has to stop!

Always been a fan and enjoy listening in this format. Thanks for maintaining this feed!

Really Bill? Sullivan & you state Trump. will win? What are you, a fortune teller? A magician? A tarot card reader or related to conspiracy theorists?You know little about how elections are won. The strategists have got it, Bill. Support Lincoln Project for one.

The best thing this show can offer is a few laughs, and maybe some edgy political commentary. All too often this is marred by the quality of the audience. It sounds heavily populated by “bro” types who are willing to applaud every forcefully stated opinion, regardless how specious it might be. I suspect that the producers strongly encourage the audience to laugh and applaud vehemently, and it ends up sounding forced, like ten people trying to sound like 50. Truly thoughtful discussion doesn’t require constant reinforcement by “the crowd.” I end up rolling my eyes at all the pandering.

What I notice in particular is he keeps having obviously racist white men on the show to discuss POC but “Black” people in particular. Then proceeds to tell us that everything is much better than we ACTUALLY live it currently. He doesn’t invite anyone from the “Black” community to defend themselves on these shows in particular or to present points of views from having lived the experiences. Instead, there’s some liberal white person trying their best to speak on our behalf but they can only do so much BECAUSE IT’S NOT THEIR LIVED EXPERIENCES. The few “Black” people he does invite are luke warm at best and barely say anything back when issues such as Affirmative Action, Education, Housing, Crime or Rights is brought up. The racist white men he brings on get to sit and spew THEIR version of OUR lives and get applause from the people they pack the audience with…the show is getting really gross and sickening concerning this and he KEEPS doing it then claiming he wants to be middle of the road with everyone. I don’t see a path for that with what he has recently been doing concerning “Black” people.

Thanks Bill for your Witt n humor using ur anti weave your words about this country’s truth. Sometimes I agree (mostly) other times I don’t but man oh man I enjoy our short time together In laugh remember n understand better at times or have a great opposite view I would love to banter with you. Haha at sixty this year I look good not hot but I know way more than I should but mostly know what make you happy isn’t purchased with money. Enjoy your brain weekly A Fan Vickie Remick

What a tool

one star only cuz…well…you know why…

Saying Bill becoming an apologist for Israel, and telling the Palestinians to get over their land being taken from them because it’s been done so so much in history completes the downfall of a once great pundit.

I’m rating three stars because I DO find the show entertaining. I never miss an episode (although I only listen while I am at work). Bill’s comedy bits are predictable and lukewarm, despite always being met with roaring (obviously fake) laughter from the studio audience. I usually sit through the opening monologue without cracking a smile, waiting for the panel discussions which DO touch on important current events. Often, Bill has interesting, relevant, top-tier guests; but unfortunately, the conversation is ALWAYS cut short, either for Bill to perform another mostly unfunny comedy segment or simply to change topics and cram as much content as possible (while still only skimming the surface of any given topic) into a short window. The TV show structure is the crux of the issue, and that is a problem that likely can’t be solved. Long, meaningful conversations with the panel would be far more satisfying. The guests frequently speak in sound bites, trying (usually unsuccessfully) to sprinkle in comedy (something most of them are not qualified to do) while intelligent panel members often sit quietly, waiting for their turn, only to be interrupted by the dolts on the panel. Bill does a decent job of moderating the discussion. His “New Rules” segment is usually nine “cute” jokes followed ultimately by the one thing he actually wants to rant about, and that part is usually well written, relevant, and important. The absolute best part of the show is the “Overtime” segment, where 15 solid minutes of conversation goes uninterrupted by scripted nonsense. Questions (of unpredictable quality and substance - I don’t know who picks them) from the audience are answered by specific guests. Lately, Bill’s outlook seems to be “Young generation is ignorant, whiny, and entitled (but age discrimination is bad). The far right is dangerous but the ridiculous far left is to blame for the backlash from the far right. Medicine is largely unnecessary - better eating will solve most health problems. Vaccine efficacy is up in the air. I was right about Trump and no one believed me.” All that said, I do enjoy the show. He’s doing something right.

I don't always agree with him but at least he presents an opinion alongside the news in an unfiltered opinion with common sense logic. And, I'll give him credit, he actually listens to opposing views and isn't afraid to learn something new and deliver a line of question that furthers the narrative of an opposing view.

An American speaker of the house with Christian beliefs should never be equated to a foreign terrorist group that considers Christians infidels. Incendiary, humorless nonsense.

Wow, bill has really gotten disgusting! He had become really bigoted and confused in his old age.

I enjoy the show but the studio audience is the largest collection of on the planet. I wish Bill would mute them,

The show pretends to offer a platform for anyone but then ends up being a festival of interruptions or even more intentional: staging loud obnoxious guests beside thoughtful and careful thinkers, and shutting the show down before an actual conversation is to be had. It’s so tacky. Very Candice Owens

With what’s going on in Gaza I had to go back and write this. For a guy who’s brand is anti religion, Netanyahu’s appearance a ways back was swooning. Then came hard right theocratic policies, and now this. I just can’t listen anymore.

I’ve watched the show for a long time - and stuck around way past when a lot of viewers jumped ship cause I still loved the format. can’t pretend it’s worth it anymore. Peterson and Cruz on the same show? Wha? Bummer cause we so need panel shows talking about stuff in a critical and funny way. This ain’t it anymore.

I have only jumped in and out of Bill’s show over the years but recently he’s one of the few people in the media who has remained consistently honest. He’s stuck to his positions over the years and never hidden them, but it seems from other comments that the activist leftists aren’t appreciative of this. Well that’s actually a good thing. They have plenty places to go. Most of us are centrist and sensible and this show talks to everyone and asks them good questions. There’s no other show does this so I’m subscribed.

Bill continues to platform controversial figures with no opposition. His new Republican-leaning privilege only waters down the Democratic brand and alienates serious viewers. For example, Cruz, DeSantis, Christie, and his fixation on COVID misinformation.

…on the same show. I have enjoyed Real Time for some time. But it has become crazier and crazier. Ted Cruz and JP couldn’t tell the truth if their lives depended on it, and Bill doesn’t seem as sane nor as funny as he used to be. I could at least count on him to call people out and hold people accountable. But not much anymore now. Not sure what his angle is other than the antivax crap and talking about how old JB is. At this point, why not just go to the top and have all the infowars cast on every week? Do better.

Any time that the victims of Zionism lash out, he's part of the Israel lobby (i.e., 100% racist). Otherwise he's funny.

Good by Bill Maher. I’m done with you

Yes Bill, platforming is a thing. Cruz, Desantis, Christie etc, what a happening here? I get you are mad about some people on the left, but don’t do false equivalencies. Show has gone from liberal to center right, it’s been sad to watch.

Why?

I love the way he is going after the woke left, and so unapologetically.

Can’t do it anymore. He’s become someone he himself would mock. The angry old guy screaming about social media memes and how the “woke” movement is remotely similar to the hypocrisy on the right. He casually and constantly talks over his guests, which was great when he had something funny to say or diffuse an intense debate, now it’s just him asking the de facto old man question to every subject.

Muslims are all violent, very simple. Charlie Hebdo should have showed how violent and evil. Paul Begala is a disgrace and a former Clinton blood boy. His uneducated propaganda and vile rhetoric is no longer needed anywhere
