HBO host Bill Maher urged Americans to “overcome fantasy” that they were the “core beliefs and deep beliefs” in the episode “Real Time” on Friday night.
Maher criticized Americans for procrastinating their beliefs and said their values were based on something that was popular among political parties.
“They only care which side is talking about what they are talking about,” he said.
“This car used to be 'fire'. Now, it's on fire.

“Back to Elon Musk being considered liberals, liberals like electric cars, conservatives hate them,” he continued. “Then Elon went to Maga and despite the car market growing 10% last month, EV sales fell by 5%, not just Tesla, and all electric cars also fell.”
“Instead, Maga Nation used to hate EVs two years ago,” he added. “71% of Republicans said they would not consider buying an electric car. Trump said they were meant to say, 'Radical fascists, Marxists and communists.' Now he sells them on the White House lawn.”
Maher criticized conservatives and liberals for communicating their views on electric vehicles on politics.
The “real-time” host then shifted the focus to a problem where he argued that Democrats changed their stance because of politics: get kids to school.
He mentioned a book by David Zweig, “Massive Caution,” which details the harmful effects of closure of schools on children during the 19th pandemic.
He quoted him as saying: “This is the author's takeaway house: 'The Academy of Pediatrics is very strongly supporting getting kids to school, but when Trump comes out to reopen, they completely turn their stance.”
Maher followed up with a sarcastic remark: “Hey, if you find yourself suddenly hate something you liked five minutes ago and vice versa, ask if your doctor, ivevermectin, is the right thing for you.”

Maher sticks to the topic of health, criticizing conservatives for allegedly changing public health stances over the past few years due to politics.
“Does people really want to put politics in their health?” he asked. “Let me answer – yes. I know they did it because when Michelle Obama was taken as her first lady project to make America healthy again, Republicans went to the wild apes – the real housewife drank in your face because Michelle Obama said that.”

He recalled conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh mocking the initiative, asking Americans if they “should eat roots, berries and bark.”
But, according to Maher, the conservative perception of public health has completely changed once U.S. Secretary of Health Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is appointed to his new cabinet position.

He quipped, “But, since the leader of the campaign to get Americans healthy again, Robert Kennedy in the Trump administration, bark is good, f — Yes, make America healthy.” “In the end, someone said.
Maher ended the segment by urging Americans to stop bending backwards or opposition positions based solely on who supports them.

He joked: “But until we get to where we can do that, I just hope Democrats will have a strong dictatorship next week, coal mining and pot illegal.”
