- Bad guest on Aug 29
One of your guests was annoyingly nasal and sanctimonious, and book-promoting.

I have been a fan since the Politically Incorrect days. I was tolerant when he bragged about his dinner with The Great Leader. Now, I have to hear direct talking points from our Greatest Ally. I’m done.

Bill , Dana Bash and Jeremy Peters agreed on virtually all topics discussed. No wonder America is so divided with these kooks giving high-fives in approval throughout the show. Trump is right about CNN, The New York Times and this show. What a joke these people have become.
Apple Podcasts2Fatty2820United States24 days ago - Not communism
Come on Bill Maher don’t play dumb. You know the difference between Democratic socialism , communism, and corporate democrats. Democratic socialism is successful around the world. Communism is not. Our corporate Democrats aren’t working for us either. Please.
Apple Podcasts2DisSomeBSUnited States25 days ago - Bill has lost his mind - and his humor
This used to be my favorite podcast and Bill was my favorite comedian, but his rants in defence of Israel, his obsession with woke, his invoking of the word “communism” to slander everything he disagrees with, and his bullying of guests, has just become unbearable. I can’t listen to this nonsense any more.
