Real Time Recap: New Rules and Trump’s Enablers

 

About New Rules

In his editorial New Rules, Bill Maher calls out the cronies who get up every day and try to make Donald Trump’s ludicrous and dangerous pronouncements sound normal and sane. Real Time. 

Bill Maher is one of the most politically astute comedians in America today. His unflinching honesty and commitment to never pulling a punch have garnered him the respect and admiration of millions of fans. In 2003, Maher launched a new show, “Real Time with Bill Maher,” on HBO, a network that’s a perfect fit for his irreverent style. The hour-long show airs live at 10:00PM on Friday nights, with a replay at 11PM. New Rules is a consistent segment during each show.

“Real Time with Bill Maher” has received multiple Emmy nominations as well as nominations from the Writer’s Guild of America. Some of the outstanding guests who have appeared on the show include Howard Dean, Michael Moore, Robin Williams, Drew Barrymore, Bradley Whitford, Rev. Jesse Jackson, Gen. Wesley Clark, Susan Sarandon, Kevin Costner, Gary Hart, Pat Buchanan and George Carlin. Each week, Bill’s hilarious opening monologue, incisive interviews and stimulating panel discussion, as well as his extremely popular “New Rules” segment, serve to wrap up the week’s most important events in a way that makes you think, as well as laugh.
