- Used to be interesting
Totally lost it. Have listened for years but I guess he wants an easy retirement in uncertain times - very dull and no longer relevant or funny. See ya Bill

Your New Rules section this week pointed out how the left and right don’t give the full picture of an issue. And yet you let Arnold deliberately lie by omission about Prop 50 by not mentioning that Prop 50 only lasts five years and then we return to normal redistricting.
How could you let him get away with that, Bill?

What his fixation with her?! She has been on too much . Show is up and down depending on the guests. I’d like to see more moderates from each side. REALLY sick of his grumpy old man complaining about gen z bit.

because Maher has good guests from time to time. His outlook is nonsense. Like claiming young people have no faith in Israel because of DEI and critical race theory. What?! Then his guest, Van Jones, put out the absurd claim that Iran and Qatar are influencing the social media algorithims. Double what?!! What kind of pot are you two smoking nowadays? You both need to get out of your bubble, read and listen to viewpoints that differ from yours from time to time.
