Bill Maher is revealing his new plans to visit Donald Trump at the White House, with Kid Rock as the go-between. And he knows the move is going to further infuriate his liberal critics.
In an upcoming episode of Maher’s Club Random out Sunday, Maher opines, “There will be lots of people on the left who will be like, how dare you talk to this man?” The late-night host made the reveal to his guest, fellow comedian and podcaster Andrew Schulz, who hosted Trump on his show just weeks before the election.
Maher told Schulz he won’t pass up meeting Trump, because that would be the “mean girl” behavior he associates with the left. “I was like, yeah, f--- you” to his leftie friends, he told Schulz. “I’m not playing this game that you mean girls play, where they’re like ‘Oh, you know what? You can’t sit at my lunch table because I’m just not talking to you.‘”
“Not talking to you? You lost the election. Who the f--- do you think you have to talk to? It’s one thing if you win it, it’s another thing if you lose it,” he continued, right after explaining how his new friend Kid Rock led him to the idea. “I mean, Kid Rock was here a couple of weeks ago, and he said, ‘I want you to meet Trump.’ He said, ‘I’m going to take you to the White House.’ So now we’re going,” Maher said as Schulz praised him for shunning “wokeness” throughout their talk.
The pair also bonded over their similar views on Elon Musk.
“I don’t think that Musk is trying to get richer,” Schulz said, to which Maher agreed, “No, I’ve always defended him on that. He does not care about money.”
That said, Maher added of DOGE, “Nobody put any sort of breaks on this and to do it this way, and to take such glee in the cruelty of it—the people who got letters that said, ‘Do something valuable with your life,” something he categorized an undeniably “horrible.”
Musk is simply doing what he thinks is best for the country but going about it in some of the wrong ways, the comedians agreed, adding that his autism diagnosis could be to blame for his behavior.
In preparation for his White House visit, Maher shared that he has thinking about how he’ll behave—and what he’ll wear. “That’s my model for meeting Trump, it’s like, be respectful, which he deserves. He won, not once but twice,” he said. “It’s funny my girl said to me, ‘What are you gonna wear?’ I said, ‘I’m not gonna dress like Zelensky,” he said, adding that dressing formally is a “sign of respect.”
“I’m wearing a suit and tie,” Maher confirmed.
