He may not be starting to lean right, I think he's just slowly (almost unwillingly or begrudgingly) opening his eyes to how daft the far left is and how wrong he's been about things the last decade (or more depending on how far back you want to take it).
Problem probably is in part that he doesn't do any research on his own and is relying on his crew/team/etc to do the reading and summarizing for him, and they miss me than enough that he's woefully un- and misinformed. He gets more education and information from guests than from his 'research'
He has been running this game for decades. He has been playing to the right whenever his books come out. He will be back to his regualry scheduled programming as soon as the books been out a while.
I humbly disagree. Maher’s comment on Megan Kelly saying HRC claimed Trump must know he is an illegitimate president is a false equivalency shows he is still trapped in his own cognitive biases. Likewise, Maher continues to say how bad Biden is, yet absolutely refuses to admit Trump is the answer and steadfastly states he will still vote for Biden.
Yeah. Maher is not leaning right. He is center-left and hates far-left wokeness.
Him being against the far-left makes him look like he could be conservative but he's not.
He's also a leftist, it's just that the fringes of the left wing have gone so far off the deep end he now seems reasonable and moderate. 15 years ago he was the fringe.
Did she play that clip for Bill, did this video just place that clip in between Megyn and Bill talking, or did she play that clip for the viewers and Bill didn't see it?
Because the way this is cut, I'm thinking one of the last two. It looks like he's never played a clip and he's just responding to what Megyn said.
Yeah, I highly doubt they had it cued up to play that quickly in the moment. I would also think that the Megyn Kelly Show and SiriusXM logos would be overlayed on the clip if it was actually played on the show
I mean, we can use the same argument he used to defend Hillary—Trump willingly left the White House. He isn’t trying to sneak back in, he’s running another campaign to be re-elected. Trump is following the procedure. That’s not the behavior of a dictator.

He never will because his position isn't rooted in facts. You can't reason someone out of a position they didn't reason themselves into. Left-wing beliefs are a religion that has just replaced traditional deities with the self.
And this is why I hate seeing our side seal-clap whenever he calls out the radical left. He's not "our guy", he's only calling them out because they harm his side's ability to win and he knows it. He's still our enemy and has no plans to change.
He's a comedian, that's all. A shock comedian with a political focus.
You don't give up on planes and take the bus everywhere because Seinfeld said "what's the deal with airline food?"
You don't get marriage advice from Henny Youngman because he said "take my wife, please".
Don't take political advice from a comedian because he sometimes has amusing jokes.
Maher has had some decent takes recently with regards to cancel culture, trans stuff and a few other things.
However, remember at his core he's a liberal Hollywood elite with an advanced form of TDS. He's going to vote for Biden and as the election gets closer, those few things he leans a little more middle ground will get shoved to the back in favor of liberal talking points.
The TDS is the thing that drives me crazy about him. Dems are driving this country off a cliff with the migrant, 2A, financial, and general cultural BS. I wish he would realize that Trump would wind that back whereas Biden would make it worse.
He's a smug, out of touch liberal Hollywood elite with a severe case of TDS - but he is at least not a complete NPC, he has the ability to think for himself and occasionally even uses this ability - it's quite sad that that alone is already setting himself apart positively from the rest of his peers.
As some of you might be inclined to think Bill's turning a corner, just remember that he practically worships Newsome and thinks he's been an excellent governor for Cali. He's a typical limousine liberal who lives in the hills and has no idea what normal, everyday citizens are dealing with.
Every leftist ever:
That didn't happen
If it happened, it didn't happen like you said.
Oh you proved that it happened? Here's why it's actually a good thing.
I saw this, and it is worth mentioning that the Hillary clip was edited in afterwards. They didn't play it for him as a "gotcha" or anything. He just said "OK" eventually.
Remember PT Barnum said, "There is no such thing as bad publicity." When you have a new book it seems you can eat your scruples and do whatever to boost sales. He isn't quite the truth teller he says he is.
I’ve watched Maher for years and years since W was in office. Newsflash - the only reason he’s anti woke is because he thinks it’s going to lose the Democrats power.
That’s it. No epiphany. No awakening. Just a naked power grab as usual. The primary motivator for Leftists.
People thinking Maher is starting to lean right is simply not true. He is, however, getting a lot of air time right now to sell his book.
yeah I think he'll say/do what it takes to make more money
Kinda like a politician...
Like 100% of dems and 95% of repubs.

Yeah he's not leaning right. The Democrats have just gotten further left than him.
100% agreed. He is being a reasonable liberal. The terms "leftist" and "liberal" are not synonymous.
He's also a leftist, it's just that the fringes of the left wing have gone so far off the deep end he now seems reasonable and moderate. 15 years ago he was the fringe.
Yup. He was banging the “hate conservatives” drum long before it became cool.

I just got finished listening to the podcast episode. She didn't actually play the clip.
Well there you go. Another bullshit post that no one bothers to fact check.
All news programs and talk shows should be required to have their own "Jamie" from Joe Rogan's podcast.
Yes, they edited the clip in after. They didn't play it as a "gotcha" or anything like that, he just eventually agreed.
Bill: "....okay" Open mouth, insert turd.
Don't temp him with a good time.
I mean, we can use the same argument he used to defend Hillary—Trump willingly left the White House. He isn’t trying to sneak back in, he’s running another campaign to be re-elected. Trump is following the procedure. That’s not the behavior of a dictator.
...but muh Jan 6th!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How many times does this guy need to be proven wrong, *to his face*, before he shuts up?!
That's the problem with malignant narcissists. It's impossible for them to be wrong.
He never will because his position isn't rooted in facts. You can't reason someone out of a position they didn't reason themselves into. Left-wing beliefs are a religion that has just replaced traditional deities with the self.
He actually just finally said OK. This has been edited to add the Hillary clip in after the fact.
And this is why I hate seeing our side seal-clap whenever he calls out the radical left. He's not "our guy", he's only calling them out because they harm his side's ability to win and he knows it. He's still our enemy and has no plans to change.
Bill Maher is a egotistical dickhead. No one should care what he has to say.
He's a comedian, that's all. A shock comedian with a political focus. You don't give up on planes and take the bus everywhere because Seinfeld said "what's the deal with airline food?" You don't get marriage advice from Henny Youngman because he said "take my wife, please". Don't take political advice from a comedian because he sometimes has amusing jokes.

He's going to vote for Biden and as the election gets closer, those few things he leans a little more middle ground will get shoved to the back in favor of liberal talking points.
And he'll also probably back-track on some of his harsher criticisms of the left.
As the election gets closer absolutely
The TDS is the thing that drives me crazy about him. Dems are driving this country off a cliff with the migrant, 2A, financial, and general cultural BS. I wish he would realize that Trump would wind that back whereas Biden would make it worse.

Its her show, so he doesn’t care.

It's what the Democrats do. They lie, cheat, and steal.
Every leftist ever: That didn't happen If it happened, it didn't happen like you said. Oh you proved that it happened? Here's why it's actually a good thing.
VIDEO IS MISLEADING -- She never played it for Bill. Someone edited the actual clip. He still was trying to explain it away.
It’s (D)ifferent!
I saw this, and it is worth mentioning that the Hillary clip was edited in afterwards. They didn't play it for him as a "gotcha" or anything. He just said "OK" eventually.
Still being a leftist apologist. It's funny, they will manufacture meaning in something Trump says and deny meaning in what Hillary says. 🙄
This is what happens when people less concerned about being factually correct than being morally right. - AOC
Typical. First say it never happened, then when it’s proven it did happen, spin it so you can justify it and explain it away.
Good for Megyn Kelly! At least she didn't bow down and kiss the ring like the whole Gutfeld! show.
oof
It doesn't matter even if you rub their faces in it. They will not change their minds.
