Real Time with Bill Maher (HBO) - 2/13/2026

[Rhiannon12866]

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


Is Big Tech the New Big Tobacco?

Social psychologist and author Jonathan Haidt joins Bill to discuss Big Tech's efforts to conceal the addictive nature of social media.





What a Girl Wants (Taylor's Version)

New Rule: This Valentine’s Day, men have to give women what they really want – to grow up and start being men again.





Overtime with Bill Maher: Jonathan Haidt, Stephanie Ruhle, H.R. McMaster

Bill and his guests – Jonathan Haidt, Stephanie Ruhle and Lt. Gen. H.R. McMaster (Ret.) continue their conversation after the show.





Here's a "bootleg" version of the show which includes the entire interview with Jonathan Haidt, social psychologist and professor at NYU Stern School of Business and co-author of The Amazing Generation: Your Guide to Fun and Freedom in a Screen-Filled World; entire panel discussion with Stephanie Ruhle, host of MS NOW’s The 11th Hour and co-host of the YouTube series It’s Happening with Velshi & Ruhle; and retired Lt. Gen. H.R. McMaster, author, former United States National Security Advisor, and a senior fellow at the Hoover Institution at Stanford University; Bill's "Funny Bit"; and the opening part of New Rules. It won't last long, as usual:

1. Thanks Rhiannon. I always appreciate it and send the link to family.

[Rhiannon12866]

2. Awww, great! I remember that you didn't always have access to what's on here up north (SNL)

I just hope that they catch the "bootleg" video, I especially like Stephanie Ruhle.

3. Yes she is great. Mc Master was blubbering on about some mystical

solely market way to curb greenhouse gasses that pissed me off because I don't think it is possible. Otherwise good show. The videos of Bill Maher do render in Canada. Thanks again.

4. Oh, great!

My longtime job was providing TV listings from across the country. When I first started my beat was the Pacific Northwest and that's when I became familiar with CBC and CTV.

5. Love me my CBC.

6. Happy Valentine's Day Rhiannon

I hate Jonathan Haidt but then Maher has some weird guests..He still really does care about animal rights which is rare indicating that the barometer of sociopathy in this society is broken….

Happy Valentine’s Rhiannon. 💚

7. Goodbye Rhiannon

8. Sorry I missed your post, my friend.

I did have a decent Valentine's Day since I didn't have to go anywhere and it's serious snow season here in Northeastern New York - and driving is hazardous since you can't see around the huge piles of plowed snow. I hope things are better for you now, my friend, and I hope that you had a decent Valentine's Day as well...

9. Well I decided to stick around ;-/

This is just a general observation…
My reflexive reaction to most unknown things is Flight ;-/. In this case, because malingering may make one run the risk of accusations of flightiness by antagonists !

But well…it is such a slender tool set and if you start depleting it further..

[Rhiannon12866]

10. Well, I'm sure glad that you decided to stick around, my friend!

And you have to know that DU is one special place where you can get the latest news, and you're also surrounded by welcoming kindred spirits, like me!
