This week's in-studio panel discussion will include Max Brooks, fellow at the Modern War Institute at West Point, author, and host of YouTube’s Max Brooks Breaks Down; and Dan Jones, British historian, TV presenter, journalist, and author of Henry V – The Astonishing Rise of England’s Greatest Warrior King.

1. Oooof...what an asshole he is

2. Bill Maher AND Peggy Noonan? They deserve one another.

I haven't watched Maher's show for years---but I'll take particular pleasure in skipping this one.

Do you think Maher will take a break from liberal-bashing to critique trump's execrable, stomach-turning actions of this week? Not that I give much of a shit...

3. Everyone on here has a "I stopped watching Bill when..."

For me, it was during COVID. His flaming asshole shtick just became really apparent at that time. Total turn off.

In our new bro/masculine-era, I can see him smuggly enjoying it on some level. Really umbearable.

And Peggy Noonan!?!? BLECH. I don't need to be told by that hag that Trump is all unicorns and rainbows.

8. Somewhere in the mid 2000's I think

He just kept repeating himself about how Democrats needed to say the words "Islamic terrorism." I got tired of his schtick.

5. A good program. Thanks for posting

6. About time for Peggy to hit her expiration date.

7. Way past time for her

Same for Maher

9. As always, we'll be watching!

I find Noonan to be completely intolerable, not only her beliefs but the way she fidgets around whilst talking. At least she's up first.

Now it gets much better. Max Brooks (son of Mel Brooks) is great, I've seen him on Real Time several times in the past, as well as a few of the late night shows. He will be good.

I'm not familiar with Dan Jones, but his books are well received along with his style of writing. Henry V has a 94% rating for the 4 & 5 star ratings on Amazon.

Thanks for posting!

11. K for the BROOKS family

[question everything]

12. I think that it was in "To be or not to be" that he said: this song is ours
