Real Time with Bill Maher (HBO) - 11/21/2025 (Season Finale)

I apologize that there are so few "official" videos available, this practice by HBO appears to have started last season. If any are uploaded in the meantime, I'll definitely add them. But I wanted to share what's available before the "bootleg" videos are gone.



Mel Robbins: The Let Them Theory



Bill welcomes personal growth expert and podcast host Mel Robbins to discuss the message of her best-selling book, "The Let Them Theory."





New Rule: The Banishing Act



Can we please try to remember - especially at this time of year - that ghosting anyone who disagrees with you politically is not the way to fix what's wrong with the country.





Overtime with Bill Maher: Killer Mike, Donna Brazile



Bill and his guests – Michael Render (aka Killer Mike) and Donna Brazile – continue their conversation after the show.





Here's a "bootleg" version of the show which includes the entire interview with Mel Robbins, host of The Mel Robbins Podcast and author of the bestselling book The Let Them Theory: A Life-Changing Tool That Millions of People Can’t Stop Talking About; entire panel discussion with Michael Render (“Killer Mike”), an entrepreneur and musician, best known as one half of Run the Jewels and host of the podcast Conversations with Killer Mike; and Donna Brazile, veteran political strategist and ABC News contributor; Bill's "Funny Bit"; and the opening part of New Rules. It won't last long, as usual:

Too bad Bill lied about what the politicians said to the members of the military. He left out that they said they do not have to obey ILLEGAL orders.
He is losing it on the accuracy front. It is as if he is listening to right wing propaganda. On his podcast he said California no longer has gender on birth certificates. That is not true.

Donna Brazile was so much fun tonight.

4. Think that's parsing words. In any event , he's right a 22 year old who entered right after high school

isn’t going to know a legal from illegal order when they are told to shoot at protestors getting “too close” to a federal facility.

First, many nowadays would welcome the order. Second, the rest are afraid of getting their asses kicked by some trumpster superior.

Yes, the Senators’ well deserved comments included “legal orders,” but I’d bet many didn’t hear that part. Personally, I wish they had just said something like “Bring it on MFers.” Whatever, no one will remember in a few days because some other outrage is pending.

I’m from Atlanta, so like/appreciate Killer M.

5. I agree with you and when he makes mistakes like that I try to remember he's a comedian.

And I like Donna Brazile, too - she's always a great guest, as for Killer Mike, he also has a good sense of humor.

3. I think I remember her from a really long time ago but I assumed she was going to be a man, too

Even though one of my friends who I grew up with is named Melissa, but we've always called her Mel. I liked her, too. And I agree, as much as he bashes the felon-in-chief, he's not doing himself any favors by reminding his audience of his visit.

7. Yes he is very defensive about his dinner at the White House. And should be.

He came back from that dinner to report that Trump was "gracious." He totally got played by Trump and he won't admit it.
