as it stands. So their interest in Maher shows their attention to the political issues Maher brings up every single week. Viewers get acquainted with names of more Democrats and liberals than Republicans and conservatives. This Bannon interview was one of the couple of Republican influencers he invites on his show per season, which is now changed to a year-round show.

He's smart on lots of levels. He's also out to afflict the comfortable. When Bannon went hard, though, it was notable that Maher showed defensiveness, as he got a rough up lesson in the take-charge style of Republican politics that cares only for power and winning. Bannon's words displayed why that party is throwing the Constitution under the history bus.

The fact that HBO has established channels in various countries worldwide including Brazil, Canada, Eastern Europe, India, Mexico, Pakistan, the Caribbean, and Southeast Asia, and has on-demand in over 20 countries, including Russia, shows that the world gets exposed to our issues through our own Democratic influencer.

Maher knows that his show has a larger audience than rated cable news stations.

And the show is impressive for another reason. It's LIVE, not taped.
