About this listen
The hilarious and controversial host of HBO’s Real Time with Bill Maher has written his funniest, most opinionated, and most necessary book ever—a brilliantly astute and acerbically funny vivisection of American life, politics, and culture.
Some of the smartest commentary about what’s happening in America is coming from a comedian—this comedian being Bill Maher. If you want to understand what’s wrong with this country, it turns out that one of the best informed and most thought-provoking analysts is this very funny pothead.
The book was inspired by the “editorial” Bill delivers at the end of each episode of Real Time. These editorials are direct-to-camera sermons about culture, politics, and what’s happening in the world. To put this book together, Maher reviewed more than a decade of his editorials, rewriting, reimagining, and updating them, and adding new material to speak exactly to the moment we’re in. Free speech, cops, drugs, race, religion, the generations, cancel culture, the parties, the media, show biz, romance, health—Maher covers it all. The result is a hugely entertaining work of commentary about American culture in the tradition of Mark Twain, Will Rogers, and H. L. Mencken.

What this comedian said will entertain you!
In my 61 years on this earth, I have absorbed a lot of news. As I got older, I began to hate mainstream media and the 24 hour news cycle. Since I discovered Bill Maher, I have never missed an episode of Real Time. Bill doesn't pull punches and sheads light on things you will not see on TV news. Do I always agree with what he says, No, but I always learn something about the issues he speaks of. Loved these editorials when I saw them on his show and I loved listening to them all packaged together.

Sanity prevails
Thank you, Bill. I moved to South America to escape the insanity of the woke but had to be in the north and you helped me stay calm.

Unbiased, funny, overall enjoyable.
Bill Maher is honest about the tragic situation we have found ourselves in, and he manages to speak about it with humor.

One of America’s Best Social Commentators
An enjoyable summer read/listen. A great way to manage these times of social upheaval in the American Tale. The climatic final editorial in Real Time New Rule conclusion is most often for me the program’s high point.
Wishes for Continuing success is sent.
See you in Heaven, I know it will be a bitch for you at first, but it’s a nice place.
From one Alter Boy to another !

Almost perfect
Highly recommended. Although a few of his points are made while wearing DNC colored glasses, notably on his feelings towards Reagan's economic policies (which were hugely successful in almost every measure) and selling Arms to Iran, who were in fact allies at the time, (which he conveniently forgot to mention) he sums up politics, the state of the country, and society pretty much perfectly. This should be mandatory reading for all millennials!

A “Best of” of Bill’s New Rule Editorials
Great collection of Bill Maher’s “New Rules” segment from his show. Amazing comedic commentary on American society, but if you’re a fan of his show, you might find it a bit repetitive, as there’s nothing new here. Just all his best material from recent years gathered into one collection.
