On the Tuesday, May 27, episode of his "Club Random" podcast, Bill Maher discussed how his relationship with his political party has changed in recent years.
"One of the main reasons why the far left started to really hate me is because I call out Islam as what it is: extremely illiberal," Maher said.

As the conflict between Israel and Hamas continues, Bill Maher is taking issue with many protesters' stance.
"That's what's so ironic about liberals being so supportive of Hamas, is because you're liberals and these are the people, I'm sorry, but this ideology, Islam, even in its more benign forms — yes, I agree, the vast majority of Muslims, not terrorists, of course," Maher said.
"Islamists, which is the word we use to describe people who are not terrorists, but kind of agree with the things terrorists are doing, that's a much higher number," the political commentator claimed.

Bill Maher later hinted at American supporters of Hamas not fully grasping who they're aligning themselves with.
"Most Muslim societies live under some form of Sharia law, which no Westerner who thinks that Hamas is so great could ever live under," Maher stated. "Your fundamental rights that you take for granted here in America, you would not have."
"All the protesters who are protesting in Gaza against Hamas? They've all been killed," the comedian claimed. "They killed protesters and women. I mean, do I have to say anything more than just — if it was just that issue, how women are treated. Are you f****** kidding me?"

Bill Maher went on to claim that the Democratic Party's "ridiculous" prioritization of social issues and "woke policies" has pushed away voters.
