I apologize that there are so few "official" videos available, this practice by HBO appears to have started a few weeks ago. 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.


Nancy Pelosi: The Art of Power

California Congresswoman and Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi joins Bill to discuss living in fear of political violence and her role in Biden's decision to drop out of the 2024 presidential race.





New Rule: The Big Terrible Thing

Doctors were responsible for the deaths of Mathew Perry and more rock stars than twin-engine planes. The medical industrial complex says these are just a few bad apples – but are they?





Overtime: John McWhorter, Peter Hamby

Bill and his guests continue their conversation after the show.





Here's a "bootleg" version of the show which includes the entire interview with Nancy Pelosi, former Speaker of the House of Representatives, Democratic congresswoman from California, and author of the New York Times bestselling memoir The Art of Power: My Story as America’s First Woman Speaker of the House; entire panel discussion with John McWhorter, professor of linguistics at Columbia University and opinion writer at The New York Times; and Peter Hamby, American political journalist, the host of Good Luck America at Snapchat and a contributing writer for Puck News and Vanity Fair; Bill's "Funny Bit"; and the opening part of New Rules. It won't last long, as usual:

1. Once I got past Maher saying Walz is every woman's idea of a perfect husband, he stays quiet

until asked, I laughed a lot tonight. Yeah, the usual cringes and groans. He really humiliated trump.

Pelosi was excellent.

2. Always like John McWhorter.

I wonder if the Harris team as a linguist on hand....could be useful.

3. I remembered that and so do I, a calm intelligent voice always.

I thought of you as soon as the guests were announced, he's one of the best guests every time.

4. Agreed.

I really enjoy his books so when I saw he was appearing, I was hoping he had a new book. Damn.

[Rhiannon12866]

5. Sorry about that, and you're right, guests often rate an appearance when they have a new book - even Nancy Pelosi!

But they rarely do better than with tonight's guest lineup - including the last-minute guest replacement!

6. Bill needs to stop trying to practice medicine, he's just as bad at it

as priests, preachers, and politicians are. He was right about a few things: direct advertising to potential patients is a colossally stupid and destructive idea; and people who are dependent on/addicted to opiates need to be tapered down over time, preferaboy at their own speed.

Otherwise, MYOB, Bill.

7. Replaced deleted "bootleg" video for those who are interested

[Auggie]

8. I could listen to McWhorter for hours

His way of speaking is so pure, pointed, and beautiful.

Thanks for sharing, Rhiannon12866.

9. If you are into linguistics and languages, check out his Audible books.

I have read them all (I think). Questions about one of them? Let me know!
