Bill Maher recently criticized prominent Democrats Kamala Harris and Hillary Clinton for avoiding his show, opting instead for appearances with hosts who are already favorable towards them.
During a conversation on his Club Random podcast, Maher was prompted by Black Eyed Peas member Will.i.am about which public figures he would most like to interview.
“Ironically, it’s mostly Democrats,” Maher responded. “But they’re too cowardly to come on the show. Take the Clintons, for example, or even Kamala Harris—I voted for you, after all.”
The seasoned comedian and host of an HBO show expanded on his blunt theory regarding the Democratic party’s shortcomings.
“Democrats shy away from environments where they’re not already admired,” he remarked.
Maher specifically called out Vice President Harris, pointing out that she has never appeared on his HBO show in its 24-year history or on his podcast.
‘Not all of them, but I mean, somebody Kamala Harris, I mean, like I always say to my woke friends, we voted for the same person. You’re just why she lost.’
Will.I.am, who famously endorsed and made music on behalf of Barack Obama in 2008, then asked: ‘Why are Democrats like that?’

Maher said that the problem is that liberals have come ‘to champion a lot of really silly, anti-common sense ideas.’
He added that it was a complete reversal from the eras of George W Bush and Barack Obama, who Maher deemed ‘the ultimate pragmatist.’
The host then explained to the rapper, who wondered how the Democrats fell so far from Obama, that their problem ails both sides of the aisle.
‘What you have to mainly understand about political parties is that they’re controlled by their fringes, the people on the fringes,’ he said.
‘They have the megaphone, especially on the left. Well, both … It’s younger people. Younger people on both sides are much more radical, and they’re better at social media. They’re better at media. They’re better at getting attention.’
Maher’s discussion with Will.I.am comes just days after a similar rant regarding young left-wingers with regard to assassinations.
Maher, 70, accused the far left of creating a culture that has desensitized assassination, which he said has led the political party to a breaking point.
He brought up Jonathan Rinderknecht, who allegedly started the deadly Palisades Fire, who prosecutors say was inspired by alleged UnitedHealthcare CEO killer, Luigi Mangione.
Maher also criticized the Clintons as being two people who don’t come on his show because they want to speak to hosts who ‘pre-adore’ them

‘Good to see the kids have role models,’ Maher joked on his show on Friday.
‘Just to drive home the point, these are not your father’s political assassins. Things have changed. For one thing, today’s assassins have popular support with the kids.’
‘Luigi Mangione, Cole Thomas Allen, Tyler Robinson, and the ghost of Thomas Crooks must form a boy band called New Kids on the Glock.’
Cole Thomas Allen allegedly attempted to assassinate President Donald Trump and his staff at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner last month, Tyler Robinson is the suspect in the killing of Charlie Kirk, and Thomas Crooks attempted to assassinate the President in Butler, Pennsylvania.
The HBO star said these would-be assassins were fed up with more than just their opinions of Trump, but also with their own lives.
‘If you’re doing that much rage thinking about Trump, you’re not really mad at him,’ Maher said. ‘You’re mad at your life. This is about being 31 and still living with your mom in Torrance.’
Maher blamed the younger generation’s phone usage and access to AI for making them sensitive, and said their ‘entitlement’ makes them ‘feel like you have it tougher than anybody ever did.’
‘No wonder you’re always wearing a hoodie in the fetal position,’ he joked.
He went on to say that the younger generations have an ‘easy life,’ with the ability to order sushi or get a weighted blanket ‘delivered in hours.’
‘You can do your banking sitting on the toilet,’ he joked. ‘They sell weed in a store now.
‘Yet you’ve convinced yourself that your current level of discomfort justifies revolutionary violence,’ he continued. ‘Cole Allen’s life only sucked by his own unreasonable standards.
‘He wasn’t on welfare, he was on LinkedIn. For his assassination attempt, he stayed at the Hilton.
‘Gen Z lives are not that bad.’
Maher said no American’s life is truly bad enough to condone assassination attempts or political violence, regardless of age.
Maher brought up the No Kings and anti-ICE protests seen across the country, including the Minneapolis protests where two citizens died. He went on to say that Iran saw similar protests, but 30,000 people died.
‘Have some perspective, get real,’ he lamented. ‘Please, you’re not in Haiti or Afghanistan, you’re at Coachella.
‘Life doesn’t really suck so bad, you’d rather just be a martyr than a nobody.’
