Pod Save America - Bill Maher on Hating Donald Trump, the Far Left and 69ing

Bill Maher, the revered—and often reviled—political commentator, comedian, and host of the Club Random podcast and Real Time with Bill Maher, goes head to head with Lovett over wokeism, government fraud, and trans rights.

Is Maher peddling the right's propaganda, or is this the tough love Democrats need to face Trump 2.0?
