About this episode

Bill Maher (comedian, host, HBO’s “Real Time with Bill Maher,” and podcast host, “Club Random”) joins Chris Cuomo to discuss why he accepted a private dinner invitation from President Trump and what he hopes comes of it. Maher opens up about his criticism of both political parties, the loss of trust in institutions, and why he believes comedy and commentary can improve with age. He and Cuomo also dig into government overreach, regulation in California, the failures of environmental policy, and what gives Maher the most concern for America’s future.
