Real Time with Bill Maher (HBO) - 9/17/21

Monologue: I Don't Recall



Bill recaps the top issues of the week, including Gavin Newsom's victory in the California recall election and shocking revelations from Bob Woodward's latest book.




Abortion: Not Just a Women's Issue?



Dan Savage and Gillian Tett join Bill to discuss the political impact of putting trans, two-spirit, and non-binary people at the forefront of the abortion debate.




Messages from the Met Gala



The Met Gala attracts lots of crazy outfits – and these ones really made a statement.




New Rule: Snitch Nation



Being a tattletale used to be a bad thing, but now America is "Snitchlandia,” where you can’t trust your neighbors and you’re always looking over your shoulder.




Here's a "bootleg" version of the show which includes the interview with Anne Applebaum (6:41), entire panel discussion with Dan Savage and Gillian Tett (17:41), and includes the opening part of New Rules (45:31). It won't last long, as usual:

I particularly liked the panel (Dan Savage is always good) - and another spot on New Rules!

I agree about the panel and I do especially like hearing Dan Savage as well. Sometimes he really makes me realize how unhinged Bill can sound at times. He is so reasonable and calm and explains everything so clearly whereas Bill is off in "hyperbole land".

Anyway, thanks again! Hope all is well with you!

I thought this was an especially good show, too. Dan Savage is always good, frequently outspoken, but he always makes sense - and he did a good job explaining about transsexuals to Bill, and to the rest of who didn't know. And I liked Gillian Tett as well, she was very well spoken, though I'd never heard of her before.

And there was another good New Rules. I agree with Bill that the invasion of privacy and punishment over something someone said years ago is ridiculous. If anyone wants to get bent out of shape and exact retribution over the horrible bigoted things people have said, all they have to do is look at TFG and the Republicans.
