Real Time with Bill Maher
Last Friday, I appeared on Real Time with Bill Maher alongside historian Daniel Bessner in a kind of reprise of our conversation from last Monday. If you’re an HBO subscriber, you can watch the episode here. And below you can see see me, Daniel, and psychotherapist Esther Perel on Bill’s “Overtime” segment, where the four of us discuss the recent birth control ruling, soul mates, the SpaceX shuttle launch, AI, fascism, and the Dalai Lama. It’s always a pleasure being invited onto Real Time, and I hope to be back soon!

Something I've noticed with your Real Time appearances, you seem a lot more reserved and cautious... perhaps a little nervous. I can certainly understand that, and I get that the format of a talk show can be a bit restrictive in terms of the time you have to make a point. But man, I would really love to see some of the passion and full articulation of your points that you have on your podcast. I want to see a true Glenn Rant! :)
At any rate, loved seeing you on the show.
Glenn, you were great! I loved how calmly you made your points. Instead of saying that it is crazy for Bessner to say you can't do anything about youth violence without changing the entire capitalist system, you said that you can't expect voters to agree to the reforms Bessner says are necessary if they don't feel physically safe. I loved, loved, loved how you handled that interview!
